Also known as Totto Land, it was a vast kingdom built from its core island, Whole Cake Island, and thirty-four surrounding islands, each with its own distinct theme, spread across the first half of the New World.
If one ignored the fact that its ruler was Charlotte Linlin, this truly was a storybook land.

This was Kael’s truest flame, the phoenix’s rebirth f...

The Orcs collapsed into chaos at once. They could not muster even the smallest effective counterattack.
