Charlotte's Political Marriage

The Germa Kingdom's submission to the Night Pirates was thus completed. It wasn't until the Germa Kingdom arrived in the Dark Night Sea Domain and occupied one of its islands that other forces realized what had happened and discovered this shocking news.

And it quickly caused a storm that swept through various forces. It was all too sudden. Such a technologically advanced country submitted to the Night Pirates, which also meant that the Night Pirates' territory was further expanding.

This also puts greater pressure on other forces.

The Beasts Pirates do their best to train the next generation and frantically collect Devil Fruit, especially Zoan. Even those that are not Zoan have considerable abilities, and they are not limited to just one type of power.

Besides, if it's useless, it can be used to trade with other forces for the Zoan Devil Fruit they want.

In addition, with sufficient funding and technical personnel, the Beasts Pirates, under Queen's leadership, are also researching artificial Zoan Devil Fruit using Lineage Factor.

After all, this is Kaido's dream, but collecting five hundred Zoan Devil Fruit simply unrealistic, so it must be achieved through technological means.

Queen, who also discovered the Lineage Factor, could naturally research Artificial Devil Fruit given the current conditions of the Beasts Pirates, making the most of Queen talent.

Kaido are currently unknown, but according to his Vivre Card, the Beasts Pirates know that Kaido is struggling and slowly moving in the deep sea.

This kind of training method can be said to be Kaido can do, constantly pushing himself to the limit, and Kaido's strength has begun to increase.

On the other side, Whole Cake Island Totto Land.

In just a short period of time, Big Mom's aura changed considerably, and she seemed to have become even more terrifying.

Although she can't expand her territory now, she has her own ways of expanding her power: marrying her children into other forces and having other powerful individuals join the Big Mom Pirates. This method is actually faster than the usual expansion and is the most suitable way for Big Mom in the current situation.

As the current Sea Emperor in the New World, not many pirates want to join the Big Mom Pirates, putting them at a disadvantage compared to other forces in terms of recruitment.

However, many forces want to establish a relationship with Big Mom, especially through marriage, which would greatly help their development and also grant them the protection of the Big Mom Pirates.

However, for most powerful families, the Charlotte Family generally only accepts sons-in-law.

Bigmom's daily post-meal exercise has helped her maintain her figure, and she has even become a little thinner.

Similarly, her children who fought against her also made considerable progress in strength, especially Katakuri, who faced the greatest pressure when confronting Big Mom.

In front of Big Mom was a map marked with the names of various factions. She was thinking about which faction she should form a marriage alliance with next.

Inside the main hall, all the other adult children were present, but they dared not speak. The moment that followed could be said to determine their fate, and they knew they had no right to refuse.

Of course, there's one thing we don't need to worry about: Smoker, who has already demonstrated her potential and has immense value. Big Mom doesn't want her to get married. Of course, if there really is someone worthy of Smoker, she will only accept marrying into the family.

After all, Smoker is an important fighting force in the Big Mom Pirates. Now she has grown up, and Smoker strength has increased several times compared to the chaotic battle a few years ago.

If you want to arrange a marriage, you must have a suitable candidate. Does the other party have a daughter of marriageable age, or someone who is a good match for your daughter?

Although Big Mom sees her children as mere tools, even tools have their own value, and that value should be maximized.

A marriage alliance must yield sufficient benefits.

The Night Pirates expanded too quickly. Even though their territory didn't expand, the number of strong members continued to increase. Since the Dark Emperor became emperor, the Night Pirates, not to mention their affiliated forces, already had thirty-four affiliated pirate crews.

Each pirate captain can become famous in a certain sea, with the lowest bounty being 190 million Beli. However, if they are recognized by the Night Pirates, their bounty can be increased by a significant amount.

Such power alone is terrifying and makes the Big Mom Pirates tremble. Even though her children have inherited some of her qualities, they all have combat power with bounties of over 100 million, and becoming executives with bounties of 400 to 500 million is not a problem at all.

However, the gap between them and the Night Pirates is still too obvious, especially in terms of the number of strong members.

Compared to other forces, the Big Mom Pirates have far too few affiliated forces, especially the number of affiliated pirate crews, which is less than a handful.

"Tell me, what are some suitable powers for marriage alliances?" Charlotte Linlin couldn't help but say. Looking at her children, there were just too many powers in the New World, giving her a bit of a headache.

Therefore, we want to draw on the wisdom of the masses.

Now, many of Big Mom's children have grown up and are helping to manage the affairs of the Big Mom Pirates.

The giant video screen displayed a vast map of the Big Mom Pirates, projected into the air. Most of the ships were well-known in the New World, especially those located near the Big Mom Pirates' domain.

In terms of marriage alliances, those from the surrounding areas are naturally the most suitable, and those from further away are easier to control.

Of course, there are other interests involved. Further afield, there are various races and kingdoms in the New World, including those with long legs, long arms and legs, and Snake-Head Tribe, all of which are considered powerful kingdoms in the New World.

To fulfill Big Mom's dream and enrich the Totto Land race population.

Blood-related marriages foster closer bonds, and this is a unique path that allows the Big Mom Pirates to expand.

"Mom, how's the Night Pirates?" Mont-d'Or, the strategist of the Big Mom Pirates, spoke up. He was Big Mom's nineteenth son and Devil Fruit User. He wasn't known for his strength but preferred to use his intellect to lead the crew in battle. Thanks to his abilities, he was highly regarded within the Big Mom Pirates.

Now that his mother has made her decision, he needs to consider the interests of the Big Mom Pirates. Besides, the marriage involves his family members, brothers and sisters, so he also needs to think about their happiness. The Night Pirates are undoubtedly a good target.

Mont-d'Or's words made Big Mom's eyes light up. She had once considered a marriage alliance with the Night Pirates, but the Night Pirates had risen too quickly and were now on par with her. In addition, their main focus was on the waters near Big Mom's territory, which made her forget about the existence of the Night Pirates for a while.

On closer inspection, the Night Pirates are a very good marriage partner.

Seeing his mother's expression, Mont-d'Or knew she was interested in his suggestion, so he continued, "The Night Pirates have established their dominance. In the New World today, the only Night Pirates that can rival them in overall power is the Flying Pirates."

No one dares to deny this statement, and it is now a consensus in the New World. As for the Whitebeard Pirates, they have been surpassed by the Night Pirates. Whitebeard alone could not narrow the gap between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Night Pirates.

"Furthermore, our two pirate crews don't have any obvious conflict of interest. If we can join forces, we can also gain huge benefits. The Night Pirates' weapons, equipment, special technologies, and even their non-saleable energy and recovery potions can all be made available to us."

That's true, and the other members nodded in agreement; the Night Pirates had too many good things.

In terms of technological prowess, they are the strongest among the pirate crews of the New World.

"Maybe we could even place a mirror on Pagila Island, so we could send the desserts from the food court inside the Combat Pyramid to Totto Land for Mom to try."

"Mama, Mom! I heard that the food court inside the Combat Pyramid has developed many new desserts." Hearing this, Big Mom's mouth watered, which perfectly matched her thoughts.

After all, she could never forget the time she spent enjoying so many new and delicious foods.

As a Sea Emperor, it would be too outrageous for him to appear in the territory of another power; it would cause a war. After the kendo tournament ended, Big Mom sent a chef to learn some dessert-making techniques, and the mirror was taken back with him.

Even if transported by other means, desserts have a shelf life; only fresh ones taste the best.

If what Mont-d'Or said is true, then Big Mom's desire for a marriage alliance is uncontrollable, and she is extremely eager for it.

After all, the only things that Big Mom cares about are Giant race and desserts.

Of course, what he didn't mention was that this could slow down the frequency of the mother's Hunger Pangs. Although the mother's Hunger Pangs were less frequent during this period, the Hunger Pangs were not eliminated.

BigMom's exercise effectively reduced the onset of Hunger Pangs; as long as Mom is provided with the food she wants, the Hunger Pangs won't occur.

However, if the food they crave is ruined, Hunger Pangs can easily flare up due to excessive anticipation, causing significant damage.

This has happened once before.

Therefore, the Big Mom Pirates strictly control the production of desserts, and they always make double portions of whatever their mother wants to eat, so they can quickly replenish the food if anything goes wrong.

There haven't been Hunger Pangs lately, but we still need to be vigilant, since the situation when Mom Hunger Pangs is terrifying.

The other members also understood the hidden meaning in Mont-d'Or's words and couldn't help but admire Mont-d'Or wisdom.

Of course, there's no need to worry too much; with Katakuri's power, he can easily hold his mother back.

"Finally, there's the Flying Pirates' big move." Mont-d'Or's expression turned serious as he said this. He had intelligence on the Big Mom Pirates, so he naturally knew about the Flying Pirates. The Homie were also skilled at stealing information, and as long as the Homie didn't expose themselves, they could be completely disguised as ordinary objects.

The others listened attentively. Almost everyone in the powerful circles knew about the Flying Pirates' implied major moves, especially since Golden Lion Shiki might have actually obtained Pure Gold.

This is a deduction that a large number of World Government agents infiltrated the Sky Kingdom of the Flying Pirates.

Among them were many CP0 powerhouses who clashed significantly with the Flying Pirates. These elite members, each possessing formidable strength, inflicted considerable losses on the Flying Pirates.

Unexpectedly, the World Government harbored such a powerful force, half of which was sent by the Celestial Dragons who possessed Pure Gold. During this period Sky Kingdom was in turmoil, and the Flying Pirates were constantly on guard against the World Government.

Occasionally, the exposure of World Government agents can trigger major battles, as the Flying Pirates' intelligence capabilities are not weak.

As time went by, the conflict between the World Government and the Flying Pirates intensified, gradually moving from the shadows to the open and becoming clearly visible.

Especially after it was confirmed that Pure Gold was indeed with the Flying Pirates.

Because of a previous battle, CP0 Vice-Commander Alastair, who was searching for Weil Island, and two other CP0 members encountered "Thunder Tyrant" Chronos, the third-in- Flying Pirates, and went through a great battle.

The massive commotion of the battle was noticed by some forces. During the battle, Chronos was injured, but his injuries did not heal for a long time, which confirmed that Chronos had obtained the Pure Gold.

Thanks to the incredible regenerative abilities of Chronos' Mythical Zoan, Human-Human Fruit, Titan form, such minor injuries can be easily healed.

Only Pure Gold can achieve this effect. While prolonging life, it also infinitely reduces the recovery time from injuries. This is the side effect of Pure Gold, making it unsuitable for wearing during combat.

The Flying Pirates were unaware of this, which is why they were exposed during the battle.

The veracity of the original news was still pending confirmation, but now it is sufficient to confirm that the Pure Gold is in the hands of the Flying Pirates, and that the three main core members of the Flying Pirates — Shiki, Chronos, and Rein—have already donned the Pure Gold.

This also invigorated all the forces except the World Government, which already knew the truth. They could disregard the Flying Pirates' hidden plans, but how could they not care about Pure Gold, which symbolized immortality?

Besides the various factions, there are also many lone wolves, pirates, bounty hunters, and underground forces—there are just too many to list.

"I don't know if the Flying Pirates' operation will succeed. Of course, the possibility of failure is greater. After all, the Navy's strength alone is no weaker than the Flying Pirates', not to mention the World Government, which is even more deeply hidden. Unless they unite the forces of the New World pirates." With that, Mont-d'Or shook his head, indicating his pessimism.

After realizing that his own abilities were insufficient to become a captain, he took a different approach and decided to develop into a strategist and advisor for the pirate crew. He studied and improved himself, and in fact, he succeeded, becoming a captain of the Big Mom Pirates through his own abilities.

"Regardless of the final outcome, the Flying Pirates will suffer heavy losses and their strength will be greatly reduced. The strongest pirate crew will be completely replaced by the Night Pirates." At this point, Mont-d'Or clenched his fist excitedly. "A marriage alliance with the Night Pirates is definitely more beneficial than harmful."

He doesn't possess the same strength as some of his older brothers, and the Book-Book Fruit's power doesn't significantly boost his strength. However, this is a rare moment when he's the center of everyone's attention, not only by his mother but also by his other siblings. He cherishes this moment.

"If it's a marriage alliance, the Night Pirates shouldn't refuse, and the Homie that Mom created are also a huge bargaining chip." At this point, Mont-d'Or glanced cautiously at his mother. To be honest, compared to the Night Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates didn't seem to have many bargaining chips besides the sister who was going to marry into the family.

The most valuable thing is the Homie, created by the mother's abilities, who possesses independent thought.

"Mama, Mom! If the Night Pirates can really offer enough incentives, then it's not impossible." Charlotte Linlin smiled, her eyes narrowed. Mont- Mont-d'Or's words had completely swayed her, solidifying her resolve to form a marriage alliance with the Night Pirates. Similarly, her other children didn't object, as it would indeed benefit the Big Mom Pirates.

Of course, if the Night Pirates can't offer something of sufficient value, getting her to create the Homie won't be so easy.

A marriage alliance should be mutually beneficial, and she didn't want to give too much and end up aiding the enemy. Her gaze swept over the daughters below, after all, the daughters who married into the family would definitely be strong and important combatants for the Big Mom Pirates, otherwise the Night Pirates wouldn't even bother with them.

But who should marry into the family?

Big Mom was momentarily at a loss for what to do, but then a smile appeared on her face. "Send the news of the marriage alliance over and let the Night Pirates choose for themselves."

As for her daughters' wishes, she never paid any attention to them.
