Soul Weapon

The Golden Flying Dragon instantly went into combat readiness.

"It's the Queen Mama Chanter! Charlotte Linlin is here!"

The crew was on high alert, and the beast army had been pulled out of the ship's hold. With the help of Wapol, the junior officers, led by Babanuki, merged with the beasts.

"Charlotte Linlin?"

Dorry and Brogy have also taken up arms and are ready for battle.

Brogy asked, "Is this the Pirate Emperor of the New World that you mentioned, Ian?"

Behind them, Kashi and Oimo's expressions had changed drastically.

They left the Giant Kingdom forty years ago and know what crimes Charlotte Linlin committed in Elbaf back then.

Ian stood at the bow of the ship and nodded slightly. "One of the three World's Strongest, and also the World's Strongest."

Unless there are even more powerful female figures hidden among the Celestial Dragons, Charlotte Linlin's title as the strongest woman is beyond doubt.

"I will become stronger than her!"

Yamato and clear declaration.

"I'll be the one who surpasses her!"

Hancock was equally defiant.

She wasn't obsessed with surpassing Charlotte Linlin, but she absolutely couldn't accept being Yamato.

"The strongest pirate?"

Dorry stroked his long beard. "That was truly exhilarating! I wonder how the strongest of this era compares to those of a hundred years ago!"

"That's not all,"

Ian shook his head. "She has a deep connection with the Giant tribe; Oimo and Kashi should know the specifics better."

"What?"

Brogy turned around. "Kashi, Oimo, what's the connection between Charlotte Linlin and Elbaf?"

A look of horror crossed Kashi's face. "Captains! That woman, Charlotte Linlin, is a born destroyer! She brought immense destruction to Elbaf!"

He recounted Charlotte Linlin's story in Elbaf.

"A five-year-old brat wiped out the entire Warrior Village?"

Dorry was utterly dumbfounded after hearing this.

What a natural monster!

No wonder he's called a born destroyer.

"Was Senior Yoruru also killed by her?"

Brogy frowned.

Yoruru and Arlulu were both former captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates, and were their seniors.

"Yes,"

Oimo said, "But she was too young at the time, and she was in a berserk, unconscious state. In the end, at Sister Carmelo's request, Senior Arlulu let her go, only banishing her from the Giant Kingdom, and that was the end of it."

Is that so?

Dorry nodded.

But, however--

Oimo's lips trembled, and an indescribable expression appeared on his face, a mixture of nausea and panic. "On Charlotte Linlin's sixth birthday, something else happened. Some of her fellow citizens who were worried about the Sheep's House went to look for them, but they found that Charlotte Linlin had—"

Silence fell on the deck.

After hearing Oimo's account, both giants couldn't help but show expressions of disgust.

Not only them, Ian's friends also looked like they had eaten shit, their faces contorted in pain.

Even Ian, who had long suspected the disappearance of the nuns and others, couldn't help but shake his head.

It's not good for people to be too easy on the food.

"Really? Is that even possible?"

Black Maria's expression was complicated.

That Pirate Emperor's life was truly quite extraordinary.

"Bang bang bang bang! Whatever!"

Brogy suddenly laughed. "Yoruru's matter is settled. Whatever else she did is none of our business. But if she's an enemy now, Ian, let's face her together!"

Jack nodded silently.

With the help of these two giants, they might even be able to put up a fight against Charlotte Linlin's Queen Mama Chanter.

If only Brother Ian could hold Charlotte Linlin back!

Of course there won't be any problem!

That's Brother Ian!

However, just as everyone was ready for battle, Ian's lips curled into a slight smile. "Don't rush, I don't think Aunt Linlin is here to cause trouble."

"Ah?"

Yamato was taken aback.

Luo smirked, "You're not going to say Charlotte Linlin came to invite us to a party, are you?"

"That's hard to say."

Ian turned around.

He looked at the two giants.

If we're talking about who in this world is most obsessed with the power of giants, Aunt Linlin is definitely the first name that comes to mind.

Aunt Linlin is really well-informed!

"Mama, Mama! It's been so long, Ian has grown so much!"

A white cloud flew by, and Charlotte Linlin sat on it, smiling and greeting Ian.

Ian also glanced at her.

Compared to two years ago, the old woman had become even fatter, sitting there like a mountain of flesh, with her chin full of piled-up fat.

But neither obesity nor aging made her kind; instead, she resembled a sinister witch from a fairy tale.

"It really has been a long time, Aunt Linlin,"

"You can't hit a smiling face," Ian said with a smile, "I wonder what you're trying to do by blocking our way now. We can't very well..."

"They want to start a war with us, don't they?"

Behind him, his teammates were already tense.

Charlotte Linlin's next word could be the start of a fight.

Even the Pirate Emperor would have to think twice before facing so many of them.

Dorry and Brogy were even more eager to get started.

No matter what, Yoruru was once a respected elder of theirs!

"Mama, Mama! How could that be! Everyone on the high seas knows that Kaido are as close as siblings, how could we possibly start a war with you!"

However, Charlotte Linlin acted as if she hadn't seen the wary companions behind Ian, and simply said with a smile, "I just heard you guys were passing through, so I thought I'd come and invite you to visit the Kingdom of Whole Cake Island."

Ian's lips curled into a slight smile.

If you hadn't kept glancing at Dorry and Brogy behind me while you said that, I might have been able to believe you a little.

No one in the world is more obsessed with the power of giants than Charlotte Linlin.

The most important period of her life was spent in the Giant Kingdom, where she spent the happiest time of her life with the giants and her friends from the Sheep's House.

Another important reason is that her greatest dream in life was to build a nation where all races could live in peace, and the Giant tribe were one of the three races that the Whole Cake Island lacked.

"In addition,"

Charlotte Linlin looked directly at the two giants. "I heard that the two leaders of the Giant Warrior Pirates have returned! I committed a crime in the Giant Kingdom back then, and since then I have been hated by the giants."

"So I thought this was a good opportunity for me to express my apology."

They've certainly come up with a whole repertoire of excuses.

Ian turned to the two giants. "Dorry, Brogy, that's what Aunt Linlin said. What do you think?"

Apologize?

Dorry and Brogy exchanged a glance.

Looking at Charlotte Linlin and recalling what Oimo had said earlier, they felt nauseous.

"Since Senior Arlulu isn't holding a grudge about what happened back then, we naturally have nothing to say."

Dorry's attitude was indifferent. "There's no need for an apology."

The refusal was already very clear, but Aunt Linlin spoke with righteous indignation.

"That won't do, I can't get past that mental hurdle!"

She looked down at Ian, her tone carrying a hint of threat, "Kid, what do you think?"

Ian almost burst out laughing.

Aunt Linlin, your apology is truly heartfelt.

So, instead of making you apologize, they're resorting to violence to threaten you?

It seems I can't leave easily today without getting an apology from her.

Yeah, right.

"Since the person being apologized to no longer cares, then the apology can be considered over."

Ian smiled and said, "Isn't this a win-win situation? Aunt Linlin, you've achieved your goal!"

Charlotte Linlin's face turned ashen. "Ian, you'd better think carefully before you answer me!"

I already disliked this brat immensely, because his existence allowed Kaido's power to expand to an astonishing extent.

Fortunately, it seems there's some conflict between this kid and Kaido, otherwise Charlotte Linlin would have wanted to ally with that old geezer Whitebeard.

And now this brat has actually gotten involved with the two captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates!

Charlotte Linlin was incredibly envious; this was something she had always longed for.

That's why, upon learning that Ian had returned to the New World, he immediately led a team to intercept him.

Their hope was to use this opportunity to improve relations with the Giant tribe.

But that brat Ian wasn't cooperating at all.

Charlotte Linlin is furious!

However.

"Want to fight?"

Dorry instantly drew his greatsword. "Then come on! Ian is a friend of our Giant tribe!"

"To be his enemy is to be our enemy!"

Brogy roared angrily.

Charlotte Linlin froze instantly.

Ian looked at her with interest. "Oh, Aunt Linlin, so you're going to take action? Well, I certainly can't refuse."

"Mama, Mama! How could this be!"

Charlotte Linlin's face immediately lit up with a bright smile, now truly resembling a kind old lady next door. "Given my relationship with Kaido, I'm practically your elder, so why would I want to fight you?"

Luo almost burst out laughing.

He finally understood that, given their relationship with the giants, Charlotte Linlin would never lay a hand on them.

Because this woman yearns for the power of giants.

No wonder Ian is so confident.

"Ian,"

Charlotte Linlin looked at Ian with a smile, "Can I have a private chat with Aunt Linlin?"

Are they preparing to negotiate?

Ian's lips curled into a smile. "Of course."

"Ian?"

The two giants looked at Ian with concern.

Ian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aunt Linlin is my elder."

"Yes."

Charlotte Linlin smiled warmly, looking extremely kind. "How could I possibly lay a hand on this kid?"

So the two flew into the sky and began a secret conversation.

"Kid! Name your terms!"

Aunt Linlin cut to the chase, her smile vanishing instantly, replaced by a cold and direct tone. "What do you want in return for helping me ease tensions with the Giant tribe?"

Ian shrugged. "Even if I wanted to help, there's nothing I could do."

"Even if I am friends with Donlibrogy, I can influence the two of them, but I cannot influence the entire Kingdom of Giants."

"That's enough!"

Charlotte Linlin interrupted him, "The Giant Warrior Pirates enjoy a high reputation in the Giant Kingdom! Those two are even great heroes of the Giant Kingdom! Their opinions have enormous influence!"

"In return, I'll give up some of the territory I've occupied!"

She said, "That way you can push the border further forward."

"If that's not enough, then consider it a favor I owe you. If you ever need any help in the future, I'll definitely do my best to assist you."

"I don't care about territory."

Ian suddenly remembered something, "But there is something I hope Aunt Linlin can help with."

Charlotte Linlin's eyes lit up instantly. "Of course, no problem!"

I'm not afraid of this kid asking for an exorbitant amount; I'm afraid he won't ask for anything at all.

"Let's make this clear first,"

Ian said, "All I can do is provide you with an opportunity to communicate, such as a banquet. How you do it specifically is up to you."

That's enough.

Charlotte Linlin nodded repeatedly. "So, what do you want, kid?"

Ian then smiled and revealed his idea, "Aunt Linlin, I remember you can extract souls and inject them into certain objects to create Homie, right?"

"So,"

He pointed to himself, "Could you use my own soul to create a Homie that is uniquely mine?"

What does Soul Weapon mean?

In the original work Linlin, Zeus was able to betray Charlotte Linlin and completely Polymerization with Nami's Clima-Tact, which already shows that the Homie can live independently of Charlotte Linlin and are not subject to her control.

It's important to know that Zeus was even made from the soul of Charlotte Linlin herself.

"Oh?"

Charlotte Linlin said in surprise, "You certainly have some ingenious ideas."

However, she immediately replied seriously, "Of course, that's no problem. I can guarantee that I won't tamper with it in any way and create a Homie that's entirely yours! I'm betting my integrity on it!"

"So kid, what are you going to use as the vessel for the Homie?"

In the next instant, Ian transformed into flames, like a blazing torch.

He raised his hand, and a ball of bright red flame emerged from it.

"Use it."

Charlotte Linlin paused, then burst into laughter. "Mama, Mama! A destructive flame? There's certainly nothing more suitable!"
