Charlotte Linlin: The Marines Are Forcing Me Into an Arranged Marriage!

At this moment, Whitebeard, still in his prime, seemed to foresee the dead end of the Whitebeard Pirates. He pondered whether, if the Flying Pirates were replaced by the Whitebeard Pirates, they could truly withstand the onslaught of these three monsters.

As the world's strongest man, how long could he suppress these three little monsters? As time passed, he would inevitably reach a point where he couldn't exert himself. Perhaps the day he grew old would be the day the Whitebeard Pirates were defeated...

After all, in this world, no one could be the strongest forever!

Rocks couldn't, Roger couldn't, Golden Lion couldn't, and he, Edward Newgate, couldn't either. They, the gatekeepers of the old era, would eventually be taken down by the new generation, wouldn't they?!

With that thought, Whitebeard picked up the sake in his bowl and drank it down in large gulps. "Gulp, gulp, gulp..." He looked at the 'filial' sons beside him, feeling a sense of "drink today, worry about tomorrow." As for what the future held, he'd leave it for his future self to ponder!

When the bridge comes, the boat will naturally go straight...

People, too, will eventually die.

However, Shiki's final declaration was indeed quite something!

He, Whitebeard, admitted that Shiki was once on par with him and Roger...

Meanwhile, on Whole Cake Island.

At Big Mom's tea party!

"..."

Charlotte Linlin stared with wide, disbelieving eyes at the Live Den Den Mushi, which was broadcasting the war between Marine Headquarters and the Flying Pirates. She watched as the Flying Pirates were violently torn to shreds by the Marines' ferocious power.

The Marines' strength had now grown beyond her imagination! If the Marines decided to attack her Whole Cake Island, and if she were held back by either Sengoku or Garp!

Then, her proudest, strongest family would surely not fare much better than the Flying Pirates, who were currently being ravaged by Sakazuki and the others...

In that moment, Charlotte Linlin's emotions became tense.

"No, I must speed things up and arrange a marriage alliance quickly!"

"I must obtain the world's most powerful force! That would be the support of the warriors from Elbaf, the giant nation known as the world's number one power!"

"With the help of the giants, I won't care about Rocks, Roger, Golden Lion, Edward Newgate, or even the World Government and the Marines!"

At this moment, Charlotte Linlin's eyes burned with a desire for dominion and power.

"Ring ring ring..."

Just as Charlotte Linlin made her decision, the Den Den Mushi on her table suddenly rang.

"Hmm? This Den Den Mushi is..."

Charlotte Linlin looked at the Den Den Mushi on the table, her expression momentarily stunned, before picking it up and answering.

"My apologies, Linlin! I've been feeling unwell lately and can't travel!"

"It seems we won't be able to meet today for your annual tea party~"

"I can only send you my blessings, wishing you a happy and joyful tea party."

As Charlotte Linlin answered the Den Den Mushi, Stussy's voice, as clear and melodious as a warbler's, came from the other end.

"MAMA! MAMA..."

"You still remember my tea party and can send your blessings..."

"I'm already very happy!"

"My dear Stussy."

Charlotte Linlin seemed to trust Stussy greatly, chatting with her as if she were her best friend, very familiarly.

"Speaking of which, I haven't even sent you a gift yet!"

"Linlin, do you know?!"

"I've prepared a big gift for you this year."

Before Charlotte Linlin could say more, Stussy's voice continued to sound through the Den Den Mushi.

"A gift?"

Charlotte Linlin blinked, a hint of shrewdness flashing in her clear eyes.

"Why do we need gifts between us?"

Charlotte Linlin then said politely to Stussy.

"No, no, no, it's precisely because we're so close that I must send this gift~" Stussy, seeing Charlotte Linlin being polite, also responded politely before getting straight to the point, continuing, "Speaking of which, you'll love this gift, and it will solve your urgent problem!"

"Oh? If that's the case, then I won't be polite and will accept it..."

"I'm just curious, what exactly is this gift you speak of?"

Charlotte Linlin inquired of Stussy.

"An opportunity for a marriage alliance."

Stussy spoke concisely, getting straight to the point.

"Oh?"

"An opportunity to marry whom?"

Charlotte Linlin narrowed her eyes and asked upon hearing this.

At this moment, Linlin's mind was not yet completely overwhelmed by her eating disorder, as it would be in later years...

Coupled with her age, her brain had begun to become increasingly unclear year by year.

The current Linlin was unusually sharp. She pondered continuously. No matter how she looked at it, the marriage alliance opportunity that Stussy mentioned seemed too coincidental.

She, Charlotte Linlin, had just been intimidated by the Marines' power and needed a new force to help her stabilize her maritime hegemony...

Stussy's offer was like someone sending a pillow just as she was about to fall asleep, giving her exactly what she needed?! How could such a coincidence exist in this world?

Regarding this, Charlotte Linlin was determined to get all the answers.

"Heh heh..." Stussy chuckled lightly at this and then said word by word, "The World Government, the Celestial Dragons!"

"Celestial Dragons?"

Charlotte Linlin was stunned on the spot upon hearing this.

"Which family?"

Charlotte Linlin continued to ask.

"The renowned Figarland family!"

Stussy replied truthfully.

"Oh? So it's that bastard Garling's family..."

"Years ago, at God Valley..."

"I was taken care of by him and his Divine Knights!"

Charlotte Linlin narrowed her eyes. The Figarland family was not to be trifled with.

"Which of my daughters has the Figarland family taken a liking to?"

Charlotte Linlin asked Stussy, seemingly casually.

"Your fourteenth daughter, Charlotte Smoothie!"

Stussy said softly, following Shaya's instructions.

"Smoothie? Smoothie is my most outstanding daughter."

Linlin's brow furrowed immediately upon hearing it was Smoothie.

"Is that not acceptable? If not, then so be it..."

"Then I'll go tell the Figarland family that you, Linlin, are not interested in their family."

Stussy replied nonchalantly.

"Wait..."

Charlotte Linlin immediately stopped Stussy when she spoke.

"MAMA! MAMA!"

"How could I not be interested in the renowned Figarland family?"

"What I mean is, even for me, it's not easy to give birth to an outstanding daughter like Smoothie! If they want to marry Smoothie, it will depend on the sincerity of the Figarlands and the World Government..."

Charlotte Linlin first let out a hearty laugh, then lowered her voice and said.

Meanwhile, in the Holy Land.

"BIGMOM, what did they say?"

Shaya leaned behind Stussy and asked.

"It's done!"

"But, it'll cost extra!"

Stussy first covered the ear of the Den Den Mushi, then turned around and said softly to Shaya.
