Arceus's Pirate Journey

Chapter 762: Chapter 761: Nothing but a Skilled Hand, Big Mom’s Taboo

Regarding this, she could only speak from experience. Even if her childhood was vastly different due to Arceus’s presence, her yearning for the outside world still existed. She had tried more than once to sneak out and see for herself.

Although Arceus often took her out to experience the world, it was entirely different from going out on her own. Yet countless failed attempts told her it was impossible.

The leader of the Hundred Beasts wasn’t her. Without orders from above, she could do many things, but when facing orders from Kaidou or Arceus, members of the Hundred Beasts knew exactly what to do.

Even as a teenager, let alone as a child, she couldn’t leave Ghost Island unnoticed.

Ships were monitored, the port was watched, and both the Hidden Port and the waterfall were guarded by people and Pokemon. If she appeared at any entry or exit point of Wano Kuni, she would be discovered in a short time, not to mention the officers.

This was largely due to Wano Kuni’s terrain, but ultimately, it was of a similar nature. As BIG MOM Pirates’ headquarters, Cake Island was filled with various Homies, and members of the pirate crew.

Even if they didn’t have the authority to stop Lola, Charlotte Linlin would definitely know everything.

Moreover, in terms of strength, Lola was no match for her.

The Hundred Beasts Pirates had many strong individuals, with the top two being Arceus and Kaidou, a fact beyond dispute. But the third position always remained a mystery because, in today’s Hundred Beasts, many people’s strengths weren’t stable, with Yamato being the most exaggerated.

In normal circumstances, she was evenly matched with the enhanced Three Disaster, but this combat’s reference value wasn’t high, as it was an in-group drill with many ultimate secrets untapped.

But when she unleashed her full power, she could fight Kaidou for a day, and if circumstances were favorable, she could even kill the Golden Lion, who had temporarily returned to his peak condition.

Even the members of the Hundred Beasts couldn’t decisively determine who the third was, but in a death match, it would definitely be Yamato.

In her teens, she wasn’t that strong, yet by observing Chiffon, she could roughly gauge Lola’s power level.

The strength determination in the BIG MOM Pirates was also unique. Unlike the Hundred Beasts, they could roughly deduce a person’s rank through numbers. Here, the strongest officers were the Four Generals of Charlotte Linlin’s desserts.

This was followed by their sibling brothers and sisters, and other children, or sons-in-law, daughters-in-law.

The number of children Charlotte Linlin had in one birth was usually unknown, but if there was an outstanding child in the batch, their sibling brothers and sisters weren’t far behind, with Katakuri and Smoothie being examples.

With Chiffon being much like an ordinary person, Lola wouldn’t greatly deviate from this pattern. If such a person could secretly sneak out of Cake Island, then the BIG MOM Pirates wouldn’t be fit to be a Sea Emperor.

The Giant Race’s figure gradually disappeared from everyone’s sight, leaving the scene completely silent. Charlotte Linlin had lost face this time. She initially intended to showcase in front of various powers, but it turned out like this.

While the incident’s spread was undoubtedly laughable, currently, no one dared to laugh out loud. No matter which Sea Emperor, their foothold in the Sea wasn’t based on benevolence, but on fear.

Pissing off the current Charlotte Linlin would cost more than a few lives.

”It seems this ceremony will end early.”

”Yes, I thought there’d be a few more days of feast.”

Zeraora and Setsuna whispered to each other, with the people of the Hundred Beasts being the only ones unafraid of Charlotte Linlin. Apart from them, younger children, like Charlotte Flampe, didn’t understand what had happened.

But as the eldest son, Perospero couldn’t help but tremble a bit.

Smack!

The calm was broken by the sound of a slap, as Charlotte Linlin’s palm landed directly on Chiffon’s face. In front of all the guests, Chiffon was sent flying by the slap.

”Mama! Please don’t do this, it’s my fault. I’ll take people to bring Lola back...”

Chiffon didn’t make a sound of pain. Under Charlotte Linlin’s heavy blow, she was knocked unconscious by a slap. Resentment and loathing, outsiders couldn’t understand, seeking to build a utopia, Charlotte Linlin valued the Giant Race immensely.

The opportunity to resolve conflicts with the Giant Race was right in front of her, but was squandered by her daughter, further worsening already strained relations. She knew after this incident, repairing the relationship would be impossible. ℴℴ𝘮

Thus, seeing that face resembling Lola’s, she couldn’t suppress her rage.

Only Katakuri dared to stand out a bit to dissuade Charlotte Linlin, as she had so many children; to earn her affection, one had to either be under 10 and trigger special buffs or be a highly valuable son like Katakuri.

At this moment, Charlotte Linlin was merely in rage and not having an Anorexia Nervosa episode, differentiating between anger and madness. Therefore, Katakuri intended to stop her to protect his sister.

”There’s no need.”

”Mama....”

”I don’t have that daughter. If I see her again, from now on, neither the family nor the pirate crew will have a place for her.

Find her, then kill her! Take Chiffon away, I don’t want to see her.”

”Yes.....”

Seeing the brutality in Charlotte Linlin’s eyes, Katakuri understood that no words would be effective. He signaled to his brother to take Chiffon away while also hoping that Lola would go a bit farther.

[You’d better not come back, Lola....]

Every pirate crew had its own iron laws, and for the BIG MOM Pirates, anything against Charlotte Linlin’s will wasn’t allowed. Her control over her children was much stronger than Kaidou’s.

Both the original Kaidou and the current Kaidou showed some tolerance for Yamato’s willfulness, but Charlotte Linlin was different. Defy her, and even her biological child would be killed.

In this regard, Lola completely failed to comprehend what kind of person her mother was. She didn’t flee the marriage because her betrothed was a prince of the Giant Race, but because she wanted freedom.

Lola was quite an optimist, rather simple, never understanding that she simply hoped to freely pursue personal happiness, not wanting her marriage and life dominated by parental control. Hence, no matter who she was betrothed to, she would act the same way.

She naively believed that Charlotte Linlin would only be angry for a while, never anticipating that Charlotte Linlin would want to kill her outright.

This escape from marriage could be considered a major act in the Charlotte Family. Even Katakuri didn’t dare openly defy her, but could perhaps secretly go easy, like not putting in full effort while leading the chase for Lola, effectively slacking off.
