"Twenty years?"
Blood trickled from the corner of Big Mom's mouth. Still young at this point, she was stunned for a moment upon hearing Austin's words,
Then a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes.
Twenty years later, she would only be middle-aged, and her fertility would still be perfectly intact. Trading one Devil Fruit for a monstrous son powerful enough to conquer the entire world...
It had to be said that this condition made Charlotte Linlin's heart stir despite herself. She looked at Austin, an inexplicable gleam in her eyes.
"Hey!!! Austin, are you telling the truth?"
"You really can have a child with me? As long as my looks don't fade..."
What did looks have to do with it? For powerful people like them, especially someone like Linlin, who controlled souls and could even influence lifespans to a certain extent,
Controlling her body fat and vitality to remain beautiful well into middle age was hardly impossible.
She simply hoped Austin was not playing her.
Why did they have to wait twenty years for something like this?
"I've never failed to do anything I've promised!!!"
Austin thought, Anyway, it won't be me worrying about it in the future, but another me from a branching timeline. So he did not feel too burdened by it.
"As for why it has to be twenty years later, don't worry about that."

After a moment of silence, Charlotte Linlin, her curvaceous figure still clutching her wound, rose to her feet. She stared fixedly at Austin.
Only after a long while,
Did she finally grip Napoleon and head off into the distance.
As she left, she turned back and delivered one final remark.
"Consider this Devil Fruit a favor I owe you. This matter won't be settled until you fulfill your promise..."
Austin's expression
