Genius Child! Farewell, Aunt Linlin!

Three people were flying in the sky.

Inside the giant bubble, Ian crossed his arms and leisurely looked down at the sea below.

It must be said that with the bear's help, even crossing the ocean is a piece of cake.

"Thinking back, it seems like it's been a long time since I last left Wano Country to set sail."

Ian remarked with a touch of nostalgia, "I really miss the days when I was sailing the high seas."

The main reason is that over the years, the Beasts Pirates have encountered virtually no issues that require his personal intervention.

Those days of sailing the high seas with friends and battling powerful enemies are long gone.

Besides Im, where else in this world is there an enemy worth taking seriously?

There's no need to even send out the Beasts Pirates' top officers; their mid-level officers are more than capable of handling most of the problems in the New World.

"Who could possibly lock you up on Onigashima?"

Teacher Kai snorted coldly.

Ian smiled. Besides the fact that he rarely had to get involved in most situations, there was another very important reason.

"If I keep running around like before, people will go crazy."

"Isn't that perfect?"

Teacher Kai sneered.

Although Ian never explicitly said it, he had a pretty good idea that the World Government probably had some unknown and terrifying power hidden away.

It was so terrifying that even the formidable Ian was wary of it.

So now I'm out.

Ian smiled.

In the past six years, his strength has improved even further.

Even though his abilities haven't Awakening yet, Ian is already confident that he will never lose to anyone on the high seas.

Joy Boy from eight hundred years ago, and Im has survived from eight hundred years ago to the present, may be terrifyingly strong, but in Ian's eyes now, they are nothing to be afraid of.

How do you say expansion?

"Teacher Kai,"

Ian suddenly spoke up, "If Aunt Linlin refuses my invitation, I won't hold back."

"I already told you, that old hag is mine!"

Teacher Kai snorted coldly, "Even if I beat her into an idiot, I'll make that old hag obey me!"

"And me, Lord Ian!"

Bear, who was traveling with them, also spoke up earnestly, "I will also try to persuade Charlotte Linlin."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

Ian nodded slightly.

Hopefully, the two of them can really make Aunt Linlin listen to them.

Otherwise, tsk.

North Blue.

The Charlotte Family.

Their base of operations suffered a major destruction six years ago.

That simultaneous, surprise attack by the Navy and the Beasts Pirates nearly reduced the island to ruins.

Fortunately, after six years of restoration, the island has become prosperous again.

This reconstruction has even given the island a more distinctive Charlotte Family style.

Simply put, it has completely transformed into the same style as the original Whole Cake Island, all sweet and delightful, like a collection of countless pastries.

And in the heart of the country, in the rebuilt royal palace, which has become even more magnificent.

"Mama, Mama! My darling son, come and try this food that I specially had prepared for you!"

Charlotte Linlin, who had become even more muscular than before, sat at an enormous table and laughed heartily.

A little boy was sitting next to her.

He looked to be only six or seven years old.

However, this boy only looked young; in reality, he was incredibly strong and muscular.

Although he was only six or seven years old, he was already over three meters tall, even taller than the great Emperor Ian.

What's even more astonishing is that the child's body is unusually robust; his clothes are stretched taut by his muscles.

It's hard to imagine how such a young child could develop such incredible muscles.

Despite his exaggerated physique, the boy wore a somewhat goofy smile.

"Thank you, Mama!"

The little boy looked at the food laid out in front of him with delight, and happily thanked his mother beside him with a smile.

What lay before him was not a stack of desserts, but rather a few simple stir-fries and stews, with very little meat.

"Mama, Mama! My kid doesn't like desserts! You're the first one in the Charlotte Family to do that!"

Charlotte Linlin raised her large hand and gently stroked the boy's head. "But I forgive you, because you are my most beloved son!"

"Mama is the best!"

The boy almost instinctively started laughing again.

"Mama, Mama! Good son! He's my dear son!"

Aunt Linlin burst into laughter.

She watched the boy wolfing down his food and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Eat more, my good son.

Only by eating more can you grow up quickly and be able to help your mom!

She had never cared for any of her children like this before.

Because this child is special!

She was the most special of all her children!

He was not only a descendant of the Bakalya Tribe, but also inherited his father's formidable physique.

More importantly, he also received gifts from his mother.

Yes, this child not only inherited the Bakalya Tribe's strong physique, but also Charlotte Linlin's indestructible body and terrifying strength!

This child possesses unprecedented talent!

Charlotte Linlin realized this the moment she saw the child.

Give him thirty years, and he might be able to possess power comparable to Ian's!

The only pity is that this child is not just hers.

The child was much closer to his father than to his mother.

In fact, it sounds much more natural for the child to call that bear's wife "mother" than to call her "mother"!

Charlotte Linlin was naturally very unhappy with this situation.

So every time the child was brought to her, she showed unprecedented enthusiasm and tried her best to be a responsible mother, all in order to make the child feel close to her.

For this reason, she hasn't even had any children in the past few years, just so she can devote all her love to this child!

At least for now, there have been some results.

When the child first met her, he was timid and didn't dare to say a word, but now he can affectionately call her "Mama".

Charlotte Linlin felt that if things continued this way, sooner or later the child would consider her the most important person in his heart.

By then, hmph, Ian, you just wait and see!

Aunt Linlin and her eldest son were enjoying a loving and filial time together.

Outside the restaurant where they were.

"Mama really pours all her love into that boy."

Perospero, the eldest son of the Charlotte Family, spoke in an inexplicable tone.

Even he, the eldest son, had never enjoyed such treatment!

He was the first child in the family, but his Mama didn't invest much energy in him because younger siblings were born one after another.

Almost every year, Charlotte Family grows larger, and her Mama's love only grows thinner.

"Rose,"

Beside him, Katakuri, the second-in-command of the Charlotte Family, spoke calmly, "You're already quite old, do you expect to compete with a six-year-old for your Mama's affection?"

"I just feel a little resentful."

Perospero said, "Katakuri, don't you feel frustrated? Every time that child comes over, even when he's playing, you have to protect him closely, and when he eats, we have to wait outside the whole time."

"This is Mama's order."

Katakuri calmly said, "Rose, if you have any objections, you can go talk to Mama."

Perospero fell silent instantly.

He only dared to complain in front of Katakuri; how could he dare to spout nonsense in front of his Mama?

Mama really can kill her son.

"Well."

Perospero sighed. "It seems Mama is determined to have this child inherit the family business."

"That child possesses a talent that none of us have ever had."

Katakuri, "Once he reaches his peak, no one will be more suitable than him to lead the Charlotte Family."

but...

His eyes were somewhat dull.

It will take at least twenty or thirty years for that child to grow up.

What will the world be like then?

What kind of world will Ian and his Beasts Pirates turn into?

"Snort,"

Perospero suddenly snorted softly, lowering his voice, "Even if Mama wants him to inherit the family business, that kid might not be willing!"

Katakuri was taken aback.

Oh, right.

I almost forgot about that.

That child actually leans more towards the Beasts Pirates than the Charlotte Family.

"Since this kid is so talented, that bastard Ian certainly won't let us manipulate him."

Perospero's voice carried a hint of schadenfreude, "Mama's wishful thinking might not be so easy to achieve."

Katakuri glanced sideways at the man.

This older brother isn't very strong or capable, but he's certainly very ambitious.

Katakuri knew that his Rose had always wanted to become the family's heir.

But he didn't seem to care much about it.

It doesn't matter who inherits the family; Katakuri only cares about his brothers and sisters.

As long as everyone is safe and sound, it doesn't matter who inherits the family business.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Katakuri abruptly raised his head, staring in astonishment at the sky.

How could that be?

A bubble is flying rapidly through the sky.

Perospero immediately noticed the incoming bubble as well, and he raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Why is that bear guy here? It's not even the agreed time yet."

We agreed that each person would take care of that child for six months, and there's still a long time before the next rotation!

"Not just bears!!"

Katakuri's voice was icy cold, "Go and inform your Mama immediately! The situation is probably not going to be good!"

Giant bubbles swept past the islands below.

Ian looked down at the buildings below, which resembled desserts, with great interest, and commented with a smile, "Aunt Linlin's taste really hasn't changed in decades."

"That old woman wished she could drown herself in a sea of desserts."

Teacher Kai sneered.

Although they were indeed like siblings, he still couldn't stand his good sister's waste of her talent.

"But I heard that Aunt Linlin is on a diet."

Ian said with a smile.

It seems to have started from that time on Hachinosu Island when he broke through my defenses.

"Things have indeed changed over the years."

The bear, who visits this country roughly every six months, remarked, "But I still really love desserts."

"I'm really curious, what does Aunt Linlin look like now?"

Ian laughed, "Let me see him quickly!"

The bubble had flown above the palace when it suddenly stopped and plummeted straight down.

The three were swept up by the bubble and crashed directly into the courtyard of the palace, leaving a not-so-shallow dent in the ground. This marked their official landing.

"We've finally arrived."

Ian breathed a sigh of relief and stepped out of the pit. "I'm starving! Aunt Linlin, how about we have a welcome feast?"

"Ian!!"

A furious roar came from ahead.

Aunt Linlin burst out of the palace, her eyes fixed on Ian, "What are you doing on my turf, you bastard!"

Behind her followed Katakuri and Perospero.

And a child ran out happily.

"Brother Ian!"

The good-natured boy, with a buzz cut just like his father when he was a child, waved happily at Ian.

Of course, this wasn't our first meeting; in fact, we'd met countless times, since this child is indeed very talented.

"Hey Bill, having fun here?"

Ian greeted the child with a smile.

The child's name is Bill. I don't know what the bear was thinking when he chose such a name.

"Yes! My Mama is very good to me!"

Bill nodded happily.

Ian was not surprised at all.

With this kid's talent, Aunt Linlin probably dreams of making him obediently listen to her.

"Bill, step back!"

Aunt Linlin shielded her beloved son to her chest, then glared fiercely at Ian, "Ian! What are you doing here?!"

This brat hasn't left Wano Country for years, yet he's suddenly appeared in her stronghold. Something just doesn't make sense!

"Don't get agitated, Aunt Linlin,"

Ian smiled and said, "We're here to discuss cooperation."

However, compared to when he last met her, Aunt Linlin has indeed lost a lot of weight.

She's completely detached from the word "obese" now; she's a robust old lady whose arms, barely concealed by her dress, clearly show the outlines of muscle.

"Cooperate?"

Aunt Linlin frowned.

At this point, what's the point of talking about cooperation?
