The cover story continues: "TALES OF THE SELF-PROCLAIMED STRAW HAT GRAND FLEET VOL. 9: BARTOLOMEO ARC 'WE WERE ADVERTISING HALF-PRICE STICKERS TO THE PUBLIC, BUT...'" Bartolomeo's crew stands in a town beneath a raised pirate flag, continuing their reckless promotion of Straw Hat symbols in hostile territory. Page 2: Whole Cake Chateau has become cake and is collapsing across the island. People trapped in the wreckage cry, "ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?!" "GIVE ME A HAND HERE!!" "I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE!!" and "I'M GOING TO BE CRUSHED BY THE CAKE!!" The narration confirms, "THE CHATEAU BECAME A CAKE AND IS COLLAPSING!!!" Survivors buried in cream hear voices and shout, "I HEAR VOICES FROM OVER THERE TOO! PULL THEM OUT!" The commanders try to understand how the tea party became "THIS - CHOCOLAT!?" and ask, "THE STRAW HATS DID THIS!!?" One reports, "THAT'S RIGHT, IT'S AWFUL! BOTH THE WEDDING CEREMONY AND THE WEDDING CAKE ARE RUINED!" Another adds, "WE WERE PREVENTED FROM ASSASSINATING THE VINSMOKE FAMILY..." and "AND ON TOP OF THAT, BEGE BETRAYED US AND PLOTTED TO ASSASSINATE MAMA!!!" Page 3: The Charlotte family continues piecing together the escape. Compote, identified as "CHARLOTTE FAMILY ELDEST DAUGHTER COMPOTE," says, "EVERYTHING ABOUT IT IS STILL A MYSTERY, HUH?" while another admits, "BUT THAT EXPLOSION..." Mont-d'Or fumes, "BEGE, YOU BASTARD...!!" and adds, "AND I EVEN THOUGHT HIGHLY OF YOUR ABILITY-NOIR!!" They decide that the explosion probably was not the work of Bege's group because "IF ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO WERE UP ON THE ROOFTOP WITH US DID IT, THEY'D BE SUICIDAL!!" and "THE CHANCE OF THAT IS LOW." The real mystery lies elsewhere: "THE TRUTH IS, DURING THE TIME OF THE TEA PARTY... ALL METHODS OF COMMUNICATION TO THE HALL WERE CUT OFF-BON!!" Then the missing piece appears: "THAT'S...!! DURING THE TEA PARTY, THE SUN PIRATES WHO WERE BASED ON THE EASTERN BAY..." Pekoms erupts, "THAT'S RIGHT!! THOSE BASTARDS RAN AWAY-GAOH!! ALL OF THE FISHMAN PIRATES GATHERED THEIR BELONGINGS AND RAN!! ...WHAT EXACTLY WERE THEY..." Page 4: The Charlotte family realizes what Jinbe must have done. One asks, "JINBE, HE...!!" and another completes the thought: "LEFT AND JOINED THE STRAW HAT CREW!?" Someone answers, "THAT'S RIGHT... IT WAS PROBABLY FOR THAT REASON." They understand that Jinbe withdrew from the crew in front of Mama so that he could enter a fiery rage and signal his own crew to run; the note clarifies this was "T/N: BOTH MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY." They call it meticulous: "IT'S JUST LIKE JINBE TO THINK OF SUCH A METICULOUS PLAN..." A report comes in: "KATAKURI! OUR SQUADS HAVE HEADED IN THE DIRECTION OF THE STRAW HATS AND BEGE!!" Katakuri says, "GOOD... BRÛLÉE... COME WITH ME!!" because "A SEPARATE SQUAD IS ALREADY INVADING GERMA." Pudding insists, "WON'T YOU KILL THE STRAW HATS FOR ME!? THEY'RE UNFORGIVABLE!! THEY USED ME FOR ALL THOSE AWFUL THINGS... HHMMMMMPH!!" Katakuri answers simply, "OF COURSE, BROTHER!!" Page 5: Katakuri's focus sharpens on Luffy. Remembering Luffy's grin behind him, he says, "...THAT'S WHAT I PLAN TO DO... I WILL TAKE STRAW HAT LUFFY'S HEAD MYSELF...!!" He explains why: "I HAVE TO KILL HIM BEFORE HE BECOMES AN EXISTENCE... THAT WILL SERIOUSLY THREATEN MAMA." The pursuit suddenly has to pause when Smoothie notices something wrong. She says, "SMOOTHIE..." and then orders, "EVERYONE, GET AWAY FROM THE TOWN!!! GET AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN!!!" Mont-d'Or asks, "WHAT'S THE MATTER, SISTER SMOOTHIE!?" and she shouts, "RUN AWAY, MONT-D'OR!!" The Charlotte family realizes the threat is not the escaping enemies but Big Mom herself. Someone asks, "WHAT IS IT, AT A TIME LIKE THIS..." and then stares in terror: "NO WAY... AT A TIME LIKE THIS...!?" Page 6: Big Mom's craving erupts. She screams, "CAAAAAAKK-KEEEEE!!!" and "WEEEEDD-DIIIINNNGG," smashing through the softened castle debris while her children panic. They identify it at once: "OH NO!! IT'S THE QUEEN'S EATING DISORDER!!!" and "SHE'S HAVING ANOTHER TANTRUM AGAIN SO SOON...!!" One remembers, "I JUST REMEMBERED THAT SHE COULDN'T EAT THE WEDDING CAKE, SINCE IT GOT DESTROYED!!" Opera warns, "...!! EVEN IF YOU'RE RECKLESS, YOU SHOULD'VE KNOWN NOT TO STAND UP TO HER!! NOBODY ELSE GET CLOSE TO HER!!" and asks, "DON'T TELL ME THAT YOU GOT YOUR LIFESPAN SUCKED OUT!?" The only known solution is food: "YOU SHOULD ALL KNOW THIS ALREADY!! THERE'S NO WAY TO STOP MAMA'S EATING DISORDER... UNLESS YOU BRING OUT THE FOOD SHE WANTS!!!" They...
