"Shut up! Woman, it seems the only way you'll obey is to put a collar on you!"
Sig was menacingly "threatening" a very short "girl" with antlers on her head in the alley.
However, just as the other person was feeling nervous and scared, and blushing with excitement, Sig wrapped his arms around her neck and put a cute necklace on her.
"Don't cause any more trouble!" Sig said in a gentler voice, flicking the "girl's" forehead.
She's called a "girl," but she's actually just "short" —Charlotte Melize, Big Mom's seventeenth daughter, Garett's older sister, and two years older than Garett.
They are rare singletons in the Charlotte Family...
Sig guessed that the Big Mom Pirates might have encountered a powerful enemy that year, and Big Mom's condition wasn't very good either, as she only conceived one child.
The antlers on her head were not decorations, but real antlers, symbolizing her Mink Tribe heritage...
In addition, she wore a very gorgeous dress, the hem of which was completely shaped like layers of green leaves, and she herself was a green Leaf-Leaf Fruit person.
Perhaps because he's a singleton and doesn't have any naturally close siblings, he's a bit awkward around people. For some reason, he just came to find the "Vampire who's drinking with his brothers" and is expressing his dissatisfaction in a spoiled way...
However, Sig, who had long since discovered her true nature, decisively subdued her using a combination of "whip and candy."
At this moment, Oven, who was drunk, came looking for "Vladimir". He happened to be at the entrance of the alley and saw Melize "escaping" with her head down. He called out to her, but she did not stop.
Smacking his lips, Oven then noticed Sig wiping his mouth in a very gentlemanly manner...
"Hey, Fla, you're not bullying my sister, are you?" Oven said drunkenly.
Oven is an important member of the Big Mom Pirates. Although not Sweet Commander, he is definitely one of the main forces. He is the youngest of the triplets; his second brother is Daifuku, a Devil Fruit ability and also a formidable fighter; and his eldest brother is Katakuri. These three brothers are arguably Big Mom's most successful set of triplets...
Oven is Devil Fruit ability, with flame-like hair and a very muscular physique. He is shirtless and wears a cape.
Although he said that, he came over and put his arm around Vladimir's shoulder with a mischievous grin on his face. He looked more like a bad friend than a brother standing up for his sister.
"No, no, your sister is my sister, isn't she?" Sig casually changed the subject, and then returned to the drinking party with Oven.
Another night of drinking with my buddies until we were completely drunk...
Heat-Heat Fruit resolution +1, Puff Puff Fruit resolution +1...
On my way back to the Cake Castle that evening, I accidentally went to the wrong room. Swirl-Swirl Fruit's resolution increased by 1...
"Huh? How did I get here?" Sig woke up to find himself in a familiar yet unfamiliar room, but he wasn't nervous. Instead, he asked Brulee, who was putting on makeup.
"Hehe, it's not like I went the wrong way." Brulee pursed her lipstick and finally put the Princess crown on herself.
"Good morning. Is there anything going on today?" Sig checked the time.
It was almost noon, but Brulee, who has a vibrant nightlife, usually doesn't start putting on makeup until the afternoon.
"My sister is coming back today, do you want to go greet her together?" Brulee asked, already preparing to leave without waiting for the Vampire's reply.
"No, Gungnir isn't here, I'm not going out," Sig said casually, offering an excuse.
Brulee hadn't expected him to go; they'd bumped into each other at the circus before, Amande had almost gotten into a fight!
Brulee also harbored resentment about this—we're all adult pirates, why are you doing this?
However, Sig secretly took these words to heart. Brulee said "older sister" instead of "sister XX," which meant she was referring to her twin sister, that is... Brulee!
Brulee is probably with "that Fish-Man," and it's been over half a month, yet she's only just arrived at Whole Cake Island. It's obvious that Big Mom is deliberately keeping Sea King waiting.
Meanwhile, although Sig had just woken up, "the other half of Sig" hadn't actually rested at all; he was currently with Big Mom, reporting on "Vladimir's " actions from the previous day.
Big Mom was very pleased to hear that Vladimir had a good relationship with his brothers.
At this point, Gungnir could even subtly suggest that Big Mom bring back her daughter from elsewhere for Vladimir to choose from.
In BigMom's words, Vladimir is different from ordinary sons-in-law; he can choose for himself, which gives Sig great convenience—referring to the "analysis of the fruit."
Of course, judging from Prometheus's reaction, Big Mom is not confused at all. Her so-called "choose whatever you want" is not without its limitations; for example, Brulee and Smoker are definitely out of the question.
Especially Brulee, who represents control of the "Mirror World" and is part of the Whole Cake Island defense system, serving as an important support in team battles, while Smoker is an important combat force, and Big Mom has even set her sights on making her Sweet Commander.
Actually...
A few days ago, Amande was also considered "absolutely unacceptable," after all, Amande was a key combatant who could rank in the top ten. However, as "Vladimir's" "BigMom favorability" has increased, the standards have gradually been relaxed.
After careful consideration, Sig concluded that Brulee was "absolutely not" the only option, at least not without special methods; no amount of effort to increase her favorability would work!
After all, the Mirror-Mirror Fruit's assistance is far more important than "combat power," and it represents the controllability of Whole Cake Island.
Well, Sig could only sigh for Enel —he wondered how things were going with Brulee?
The reason why Brulee brought "Sea King" to Whole Cake Island after more than half a month was partly to put pressure on her, and partly to wait for Big Mom's postpartum recovery. Big Mom still values "Sea King" very much and does not want her poor condition to affect things.
Furthermore, BigMom has now fully recovered, and there's even a "mini-wedding" in a couple of days—BigMom's wedding to her forty-second husband.
Compared to her children's weddings, BigMom's weddings are generally not grand; they're just a small excuse for a lavish feast.
After all, children get married to form alliances, while Big Mom gets married just to be paired up; the husband can be discarded in a few days.
Moreover, it is held annually, and the invited guests treat it as an annual routine, just like attending a meeting on Whole Cake Island every year.
Sig himself did not leave the room, silently simulating the analyzed Devil Fruit ability, slowly mutating and editing the analyzed Lineage Factor into his own Lineage Factor.
However, at the same time, after reporting to Big Mom, Gungnir Sig went out to "play" and happened to arrive at the port, where he met Brulee and the "Fish-Man"...
