Fetus! Diligent Linlin! Fish-Man Mining!

Aunt Linlin placed her hand on her stomach.

Her face was ashen, and her eyes were filled with murderous intent as she looked at Ian, wishing she could crush Ian into pieces right now.

The baby in her belly is no ordinary baby!

This is the child she conceived with a descendant of the Bakalya Tribe, and also possesses Bakalya Tribe blood!

Her lifelong dream was to create a nation where all races could coexist harmoniously!

Now, her Whole Cake Island are only three races away from bringing together all the intelligent races in the world.

Giant tribe! Lunarian! Bakalya Tribe!

The Giant tribe seem to have little hope now, but the Bakalya Tribe are already inside her.

Should she trade this one child for all her other children?

Including Katakuri, Cracker, Perospero, Oda, Oven's children?

Should they trade their lives for this baby?

"You bastard!!"

Aunt Linlin gritted her teeth, and the fat on her face trembled incessantly.

Ian's lips curled slightly.

This woman seems to have already made her decision.

"But Ian,"

Dorry, somewhat reluctantly, reminded him, "How are you going to keep an unborn baby as a hostage?"

"We can't exactly cut open this woman's stomach and take the baby out prematurely, can we?"

Brogy's expression also turned slightly serious. "That's far too cruel!"

"Don't worry,"

Ian chuckled. "It is true that the baby needs to be removed, but it's much simpler and more convenient than you think."

Simple and convenient?

The two giants exchanged a glance, wondering what Ian was planning.

"Kid,"

Aunt Linlin asked with a stern face, "What do you want to do?"

"Luo, it's your turn to perform."

Ian called out to the side.

"Tsk."

Luo, who was sitting to the side, stood up with a sigh. "I'm amazed you could come up with this. I never thought my ability could be used like this."

In short,

Ian smiled and gently pointed at Aunt Linlin, "Go ahead and perform the surgery properly for Aunt Linlin."

Luo strolled leisurely to Aunt Linlin. Even facing this Pirate Emperor, his expression showed no fear. He simply spoke slowly...

"Suppress your Haki, or my abilities won't be effective against you!"

Aunt Linlin looked at Ian with suspicion, then looked down at Luo.

What does this kid do?

Luo flicked his hand, "ROOM!"

A semi-transparent, spherical surgical space unfolds.

Before Aunt Linlin could react, Luo had already raised his hand, his right hand, crackling with green electricity, pressing down on her lower abdomen from a distance.

"Scalpel."

"Forehead!"

Aunt Linlin trembled slightly and lowered her head in disbelief.

A piece of her stomach is missing!

A large portion encased in a strange purple gel-like substance!

"Op-Op Fruit?"

Aunt Linlin said incredulously, "They can actually do that?"

Luo casually cut off another piece of meat from the piece in his hand, which was Aunt Linlin's belly, and stuffed it back into her.

Now, the only remaining piece of gel in his hand was --

"Eh!!"

Dorry rubbed his eyes, exclaiming in utter shock, "No way? It's out already??"

The gel in Luo's hand contained a fetus.

It has fully taken shape and is growing quite vigorously.

Enel couldn't help but grit his teeth slightly upon seeing this.

His heart is still in that bastard Ian's hands!

"Is this really okay, Ian?"

Brogy couldn't help but glance at Ian.

This scene is terrifying no matter how you look at it!

"No problem at all."

Ian said, "Although it looks like it has been separated, the fetus is actually still connected to the mother's body, can still receive nutrition, and can still grow healthily."

Just kidding, the hearts that Luo separated are still functioning normally, delivering blood to all parts of the body of the person who was deprived of their heart, even over distances of thousands of miles.

The same applies to this fetus.

Aunt Linlin placed her hand on her belly.

It's amazing that even though the baby has been taken away, she can still feel the baby moving.

"Kid, are you satisfied now?"

Aunt Linlin said angrily, "Can I leave now?"

"Don't worry, Aunt Linlin,"

Ian laughed and said, "Before we leave, let's do a few Homie."

Shortly afterward, the Queen Mama Chanter hastily departed Hachinosu Island, heading back to the waters where the Whole Cake Island was located without stopping for a moment.

Ian stood on the shore, gazing at the departing silhouette of the ship.

"This time, we've really offended her badly, Lord Ian."

Tesoro stood beside him and whispered, "If she gets the chance, she'll definitely retaliate without hesitation."

In his opinion, wouldn't it be better to just eliminate Charlotte Linlin now and absorb the Charlotte Family?

Why release a tiger back into the mountains?

"No need to rush."

Ian smiled and said, "Aunt Linlin is a very generous person; she definitely won't mind."

Tesoro's lips twitched involuntarily. "Lord Ian, do you have some misunderstanding about Charlotte Linlin?"

Everyone knows that the woman named Charlotte Linlin is cruel and bloodthirsty; she can easily destroy several countries simply because someone doesn't provide her with desserts.

Can such a person be considered magnanimous?

"I think Aunt Linlin definitely won't refuse when cooperation is needed."

Ian laughed and said, "Right?"

"Of course! Lord Ian!"

A deep, resonant voice came from ahead of him.

The sea surged and roared, a mountain rose from the sea above the harbor, a mountain range of waves!

The mountain range has a face on its front, a smiling face.

This is Homie formed from seawater, which will then guard the waters surrounding Hachinosu Island.

Not only that, but at this moment, clouds that seemed to be dozing off were also floating above Hachinosu Island.

Below the clouds, the laughing winds chased each other relentlessly.

Meanwhile, in the wind, rows of laughing bombers soared through the air.

That's why I say the Homie are truly a magical existence.

Ian returned to the meeting place outside the Skull Building, where his friends were still marveling at the fetus.

"Ian, what are you going to do with the fetus?"

Dorry, his good friend, still looked somewhat serious.

He was puzzled. Charlotte Linlin had brought so many children with her this time, so why had she chosen this particular fetus?

It was still a fetus, far from being born.

Even if Charlotte Linlin is truly a despicable person, isn't this still a bit too cruel?

"I didn't just pick that randomly."

Ian smiled and turned his head. "See? The person most suited to take care of him has arrived."

Xiong hurriedly walked out of the building, still wearing a cloak to conceal his identity.

He simply couldn't hold back any longer.

"Um?"

Dorry and Brogy looked at him with some surprise as he approached.

Who is this guy?

"Lord Ian!"

The bear looked excitedly at the fetus surrounded by its friends.

"Take him back."

Ian said, "From now on, I'll leave it to you to take care of."

The bear paused for a moment.

He looked at Ian in disbelief.

"This is your child, isn't it?"

Ian smiled and said, "There's no one more suitable to take care of him than you two."

"You even knew about this?"

The bear was genuinely taken aback.

That doesn't make sense.

The only people who should know about this are himself, Dragon, and Ginny.

"This is not something that is difficult to guess."

Ian chuckled, "Aunt Linlin has been collecting information on various races from the sea, and I think you probably won't find any other way to impress Aunt Linlin."

The bear scratched its head somewhat sheepishly.

"So, Ian, you're saying this guy is the father of that baby?"

Dorry looked completely bewildered. "Then isn't he Charlotte Linlin's husband?"

How did Charlotte Linlin's husband end up with Ian?

Don't overthink it.

Ian smiled and said, "All you need to know is that the reason I chose this fetus is simply so that he can return to his father's side."

"You just saw how Aunt Linlin treats her children."

"It's unnecessary to even consider what would happen if this child continued to stay with her."

"Lord Ian!"

His eyes, hidden beneath the bear cloak, were already red-rimmed.

This is truly a very, very good person!

I owe you another huge favor! I really don't know how I can repay you!

Dorry and Brogy couldn't help but burst into laughter; they truly were good brothers!

Ian is great, no further explanation needed!!

While the atmosphere was harmonious on Ian's side, the Queen Mama Chanter was departing.

The Charlotte Family executives were terrified, their eyes lowered, not daring to utter a single word.

They hadn't experienced such a devastating defeat in a very, very long time.

When facing an opponent, they are practically powerless to fight back and are easily defeated.

Furthermore, it wasn't just them who were defeated; even their Mama was defeated by Ian.

"You brat!!"

Aunt Linlin right shoulder had already undergone treatment, roared angrily, "Don't think I'll forget the humiliation I suffered today!!"

This was indeed an unprecedented humiliation.

Defeated in a crushing defeat, forced to sign a humiliating treaty, and even her unborn child was taken hostage.

Charlotte Linlin was furious.

"I'll never let him get away with this! Sooner or later, I'll crush him into dust!!"

Finally, Katakuri spoke up, "But, Mama, Ian isn't easy to deal with."

He phrased it very tactfully.

All the Charlotte Family executives knew that Ian and his men were more than just difficult to deal with.

That's ridiculously strong.

They easily won both battles, one against the other, and even if the Charlotte Family mobilized all their forces, they would probably only be defeated by their opponents.

"Mama, if we want revenge, we need to become stronger."

Katakuri said seriously.

It doesn't matter whether they become stronger or not, but Mama must become stronger Ian.

Otherwise, everything would be meaningless.

Charlotte Linlin's expression also turned serious. "You're right, Katakuri!"

"I hate to admit it, but that bastard Ian is ridiculously strong! I can't beat him now!"

The Charlotte Family executives all breathed a sigh of relief.

Katakuri is so good at talking! As expected of the Charlotte Family's masterpiece, now Mama won't take her anger out on them!

Aunt Linlin clenched her left fist. "I need to become stronger too, so I can defeat him!"

"I need even stronger Armament Haki! Only then can I withstand that guy's Destruction Flame! And then!"

"Katakuri!"

She looked at her second son, whom she relied on most.

"Mama."

Katakuri head respectfully.

What is the principle Observation Haki Future Sight?

Aunt Linlin said, "To defeat that brat, you have to master this move!"

Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to dodge that kid's attacks, nor would they be able to mount an effective counterattack.

There is absolutely no chance of winning.

Katakuri was also slightly startled.

It seems that Mama has indeed suffered an unprecedented defeat in this battle with Ian.

Since he was born, I've never seen his Mama voluntarily suggest exercising!

"I see."

Katakuri nodded emphatically. "I will teach you everything, Mama."

The stronger Mama becomes, the safer Charlotte Family siblings will be.

"Just you wait, kid!!"

Aunt Linlin gritted her teeth and vowed, "I'll make you pay!!"

Ian is unaware yet that because of his humiliation, the Pirate Phantom God, Diligent Linlin, has truly made her appearance!

Shortly after the battle on Hachinosu Island ended, in Mary Geoise, in the Gorosei's office.

"As expected, a fight broke out in the end, and Charlotte Linlin's scheme completely failed."

"Wasn't this something we could have guessed from the start? How could Ian allow Charlotte Linlin to share his Friendship of Giants?"

"However, is Charlotte Linlin stronger than we imagined? Even with the assistance of the Giant Warrior Pirates, Ian was unable to completely defeat Charlotte Linlin and most of the Charlotte Family."

"But in the end, Ian won, although Charlotte Linlin also escaped unscathed."

"However, they should behave themselves a lot from now on. Let's continue the hunt for the Revolutionary Army; they are the government's biggest threat!"

The Gorosei were unaware that the firsthand information they had received was slightly inaccurate.

Hachinosu Island.

"... That's how I reported it to the Gorosei."

In Ian's office, Stussy spoke in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"Very good."

Ian nodded in satisfaction.

It's best not to let the Gorosei know the true details of the battle.

Although it was due to restraint, the fact that he easily defeated Aunt Linlin would probably still have a significant impact on the Gorosei.

Let's show some concern for the elderly person's health.

"Even so, it's a fact that we defeated the Charlotte Family,"

"Lord Ian," Stussy said, "Your bounty will probably go up again."

"That kind of thing doesn't matter."

Ian casually asked, "What's the situation with the Revolutionary Army right now?"

"They were chased and were in a very sorry state."

"But overall, the government still can't catch their main force; only the scraps have been eliminated," Stussy said.

"Very good."

Ian was very satisfied.

In this way, the Revolutionary Army can keep the government's attention occupied for a long time.

The day after the battle ended, Dorry and Brogy, the two good brothers, took Prince Loki back to the Giant Kingdom.

Prince Loki had no regrets, because Lola went back with them.

Meanwhile, the newspapers also reported on the Battle of Hachinosu Island.

The news of Ian defeating Charlotte Linlin went viral around the world.

What's interesting is that the Gorosei were told Ian had barely won.

However, the newspapers reported that Ian won easily. Although Ian knew they were trying to flatter him, it was indeed quite amusing; there are many paths to Rome, after all.

As Stussy said, after this battle, Ian's bounty jumped to 3.5 billion, putting him on par with Aunt Linlin.

The bounties for Yamato and Hancock have been increased to 1.3 billion and 1.1 billion respectively.

The team members also made progress in their respective areas.

A few days later, the Fish-Man Exploration Unit from Hachinosu Island brought good news.

They discovered a large gold mine on the nearby seabed.
