Big Mom's Otherworld Journey!
[Swish----]
"Welcome, Ms. Charlotte Linlin, to the Kabane World. I am Addison, the base commander, Senior Director, and recipient of the Vist Third-Class Medal!"
The Senior Director of Addison, dressed in a suit and tie, wore a gentle smile as he looked at the tall, mature woman who walked out of the Biochemical Safety Station.
Behind him stood several Army officers and men in black from CIPHER POL.
It's worth mentioning that because the Star Gate is three meters high, Charlotte Linlin's height is now 'only' three meters, which makes her look somewhat 'normal'.
"Mamamama, so we've arrived in another world?"
Charlotte Linlin felt that something was missing from the exciting process she had imagined, but she still looked around the base environment with great curiosity.
"This is inside the base," Senior Director Addison explained.
Since the entire base was transformed into a fortress, visitors can no longer see the original dirt roads and bare sky at first glance, but instead a cold, impersonal landscape of stone buildings with floors and metal ceilings.
"Okay, I want to see the sea first. Hurry up and lead the way for me, Mom!" Charlotte Linlin was a little disappointed, but immediately urged.
"No problem."
Senior Director Addison nodded, then gestured for the two men in black behind him to come forward.
"They are members of CIPHER POL-7. They will be responsible for guiding you and resolving any minor issues. You can also contact the base through them if you need anything."
"My name is Plan. Please take care of me."
"I am Belloc, nice to meet you."
Two men dressed in formal attire, carrying unusual backpacks, introduced themselves very politely.
However, the latter clearly had no interest in them.
What's even more novel is this 'small perspective' experience, as if everyone looks much bigger no matter what.
Senior Director Addison and others accompanied Charlotte Linlin to the fortress gate.
They dispersed only after the latter had completely left the fortress, each going about their own business.
Although this woman is an Emperor of the Sea with the highest combat power.
But now that we've accepted the offer of amnesty, there's no need for excessive fear or apprehension.
The main issue is that not many people know she is about to be awarded the rank of Admiral.
"Zeus!"
Charlotte Linlin had no intention of traveling on foot. She summoned the Thundercloud from within her body, jumped up, and leaped onto it. The sensation under her feet was like that of solid cotton.
Wow, so light!
Zeus felt a sudden lightness as the weight lifted from its body, which delighted it greatly. It thought to itself, "Not only has Mom shrunk, but she's also become lighter!"
"How are you two going to keep up with me?"
Charlotte Linlin, unaware of the thoughts Thundercloud beneath her feet, teased the two CP7 members.
"Of course I won't trouble you."
Plan said something, then exchanged a glance with Belloc. The next moment, their bodies began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye.
One pair of eyes transformed into compound eyes composed of countless tiny eyes, transparent wings sprouted from its back, one pair of arms transformed into black feathers, and its feet resembled bird claws. Then, one by one, they took to the air.
Plan said, "I am Zoan Bug-Bug Fruit user with the Dragonfly Form!"
Belloc declared, "I am Zoan Bird-Bird Fruit user in Swallow Form!"
Charlotte Linlin was speechless for a moment, but she also realized that they had been prepared for this. She then followed the insect and the bird toward the coast of the Ashika Peninsula.
Upon arriving at the destination, looking at the sea that was far more docile than the 'New World' seas, she asked doubtfully, "How can I be sure that this seawater won't have any effect on ability users?"
Although Kaido and the others said there was no problem, having been a landlubber for so many years, he was still hesitant to trust what others said, let alone jump in directly.
She's not that stupid!
"To provide bathing services for swimmers after they come ashore, a large public bathhouse has been specially built over there. You can try taking a bath there first."
"Plan said softly."
The bathhouse was originally built because of Crane, who, before leaving, told Senior Director Addison that she might come here to swim often, but would need a convenient place to shower.
"Really? That's great! Quickly, take Mom over there!" Charlotte Linlin was naturally overjoyed.
Soon, a stunningly beautiful woman in a swimsuit appeared in the rather simple bathhouse, and then stepped into the steaming pool.
"Wow----"
As she submerged herself completely in the water, she let out a blissful moan. Surely no one in this world dislikes a hot bath?
"Mama~ I really don't feel anything at all!"
Once she regained consciousness, Charlotte Linlin took in her body and was soon surprised to find that she felt perfectly fine.
It's important to know that in the Sea Star World, due to the widespread presence of 'Pyrobroin', even in so-called freshwater, such as rivers and hot springs, if the user's body is mostly submerged, they will still feel a noticeable sense of weakness.
This discovery made her stand up from the pool, run straight out of the public bathhouse, and, under the astonished gazes of two grown men, step by step walk into the seawater.
To be honest.
Her full, slender, and alluringly curvaceous body was truly captivating; Charlotte Linlin, before she had fully gained weight, was a mature and beautiful woman.
"It's true, it's really true, you can swim in the sea here!!"
Charlotte Linlin, now in the ocean, was thrilled. She was now completely convinced that this was another world, and not that she had been transported to some small island on Sea Star by that 'Star Gate'.
"They say there's more than one Star Gate, and a second one will open soon, so there really is such a thing as countless worlds!"
At that moment, the first thing that came to her mind was naturally desserts and delicacies from other worlds, which caused her emotions to soar.
"Candy! Candy! Candy!"
"I want candy!!"
"Give me candy------"
Unbeknownst to her, her pupils had turned into ripples, and her eyes glowed with a bloody red light—a red light that could actually be seen with the naked eye.
"Not good!"
Plan and Belloc's expressions changed drastically. They both entered their Beastman Form, flapping their wings and flying over. At the same time, one of them quickly took the backpack from behind him to the front and then zipped it up.
"BIG MOM! Open your mouth!!"
Hearing the shout, Charlotte Linlin, consumed by her craving for Hunger Pangs, looked up with a furious rage and roared, "Give me candy!"
To her now, even a person can become food in her eyes.
Just then, Belloc emptied his backpack, and instantly, colorful candies appeared in mid-air.
"Candy!!!"
Charlotte Linlin burst through the seawater beneath her with one foot, propelling herself upwards like a rocket. Ignoring the candy wrappers, she devoured all the rapidly falling candies like Garou.
"Well"
As the candy in her stomach was rapidly digested by the sulfuric acid-like stomach acid, she gradually regained her senses and her pupils returned to normal.
"Call----"
Plan and Belloc breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this; thankfully, they had been prepared for Charlotte Linlin's Hunger Pangs.
Each of those candies was extremely sweet, a top-tier product from a major sugar-producing country.
Actually Hunger Pangs are far more complex than that. This time, she just happened to want to eat candy, but if she wanted to eat cake, then it wouldn't work.
So you could say you're quite lucky.
In any case, the final result was a close call. After experiencing swimming in the sea, Charlotte Linlin wanted to see the scenery and local specialties of this Otherworld.
What are local specialties?
Kabane.
However, wild Kabane are practically nonexistent in Hinomoto now, and it's inconvenient to take her to the factory, so the only option is to go overseas.
After reporting to the base, Plan and his companion decided to take Charlotte Linlin to the Asia Continent across the sea. At their flying speed, the round trip wouldn't take long.
However, it was their first time going there, but luckily they could just follow the map, and there were also Den Den Mushi) to contact them.
Kongokaku.
The capital of the Shogunate was still decorated with blue Ruri, just like before, and had a very oriental architectural aesthetic, but it had become much more lively than before.
The biggest change is that outside Gaocheng, a large amount of farmland has been cultivated, and many men and women with bare legs are working hard there, but everyone has a satisfied smile on their face.
For these impoverished people, they didn't care how much mineral resources were taken away or whether the general had become a puppet.
All they knew was that they no longer had to fear the sudden appearance of the Kabane, nor worry about food shortages that money couldn't buy.
Such a safe life, with plenty of food and clothing, is simply paradise.
The streets of the city were bustling with men, women, and children of all ages. Groups of children ran by laughing and carrying snacks bought by adults.
"What! What is that?!"
Suddenly, a scream rang out in the street, attracting the attention of the people around. Everyone looked in the direction the person was pointing.
Really.
Then they saw three flying figures appear in the sky.
There was a black birdman and a green dragonfly man, but the most amazing thing was the tall and sexy woman in the middle, who was standing on a Bai Yun with a small sun floating beside her.
"God!"
"The great god from the Divine Realm has descended once more!"
It's unclear who started it, but all the people who witnessed this scene knelt down in a rush, chanting "Gamisama!"
"Mama~~ What are they doing?"
Charlotte Linlin also noticed the spectacular scene of the entire city kneeling in worship below, which aroused her curiosity.
"The people of this world have never seen Devil Fruit User, but they have very deep-rooted myths and legends about them, so they regard us as gods from the Divine Realm, and at the same time regard Devil Fruit User as gods. I suppose they have identified you as one of those gods."
Belloc, disguised as a black swallow, gave an explanation, followed by a light laugh from the listener Plan.
"Interestingly, in their mythology, the gods reside in a divine Sacred Land called Takamagahara, an island floating in the sea and clouds, which is very similar to our Sky Island!"
Charlotte Linlin immediately lost interest after hearing this. She really had no interest in these ignorant people from Otherworld. The key was that each of them had such a weak aura, not even as strong as a slightly older child.
This reminded her of a word.
Insect!
"Let's hurry, let's go! Hopefully, those Kabane will be more interesting~~"
