Just when Enel thought he was about to capsize, the real Big Mom appeared with "Vladimir".
"Alright, Streusen, Katakuri, are you still worried that I've already been killed by them? Hahaha..." Amidst Big Mom's maniacal laughter, all the Homies woke up.
Previously, Big Mom wasn't a true Soul- Devil Fruit ability; rather, she was using the Soul-Soul Fruit's power by incorporating Carmel's soul within her own, without even realizing it herself.
However, Carmel's demise did affect these soul creations, but Big Mom, now a true Soul-Soul Devil Fruit ability, is able to reactivate them.
"Mom, Mom?"
"Linlin?"
BigMom's unique character instantly evoked a sense of familiarity with the Streusen and the Katakuri.
Because of Carmel's demise, Big Mom's temperament has indeed changed, but this change is still within the realm that they feel familiar with, or even "more familiar with."
"It was Vladimir and Enel who did me a small favor before, you don't need to be so nervous." Big Mom said, glancing at Enel who had transformed into her.
"W-What are you saying?" Enel, completely lacking in emotional intelligence, failed to grasp the subtext and still wanted to continue confronting Big Mom.
He only changed back to his original form after being glared at by Sig.
Big Mom neither revealed nor deliberately helped cover up Vladimir's identity—so the disappearance of Siegfried and the appearance of Enel still attracted the attention of some observant people.
At the same time, Brulee and the others quickly became guilty...
Especially Brulee, who had just tried to "turn the tide" and blamed Katakuri for making his Mom's Soul-Soul Devil Fruit ability malfunction, was now trying to hide as much as possible.
At the same time, she gave Sig a resentful glance—did this rascal really plan this with Mom? Why didn't he tell me? No, it must have been that he reached some kind of agreement with Mom later...
An awkward atmosphere was building up on the scene.
Previously, there were quite a few filial sons and daughters who pretended to be ignorant, or were genuinely ignorant, who sided with a certain Vampire.
Especially since many of them are important figures in Whole Cake Island!
If we really want to investigate, even if BigMom is fine, Whole Cake Island will definitely be thrown into chaos.
Even Katakuri began to worry again—he had now discovered that Brulee was also on the "opposite side."
Fortunately, Big Mom outwardly acknowledged that the Vampire had come to help...
Sig, on the other hand, did not have this worry.
Because he knew that after Carmel's death, Big Mom's personality, while still consistently domineering, had also developed some normal emotions.
With a little empathy, one can see that her children's current reactions, and their past betrayals after marriage, are all ultimately the result of their own actions...
Under Carmel's subtle influence, Charlotte Linlin had previously also viewed "children" as a resource.
Although Carmel's demise won't suddenly turn Big Mom into a loving mother, and her personality will hardly change, at the core, she's more inclined to be "Charlotte Linlin" rather than Monster created by "Charlotte Linlin + Carmel".
Big Mom left Enel behind, partly for Brulee's sake— the Mirror-Mirror Fruit was still very important to her.
However, if it were the old Big Mom, she would have chosen to "recycle the fruit" as much as possible, rather than taking in another son-in-law for the sake of Brulee, who might be disobedient.
"Perospero, Katakuri, Amande, Brulee, Brulee ..." Big Mom rattled off a string of names, then said, "Get in here! I have something to say."
Sig followed closely behind, as if he were truly Big Mom's confidant, but after being glared at by Big Mom, he was "kicked out."
Enel immediately went to Sig and asked him what had happened.
At the same time, Thundercloud Zeus, who looked naive, floated over at this time. "Mom asked me to play with you."
Well, to translate it, it means "You two aren't getting away."
Thundercloud Zeus and Napoleon have been significantly enhanced at this time. The only Homies that "disappeared" was "Prometheus"—because he represented the power of Carmel!
As for the other Homies, their connection with BigMom is now even stronger.
Therefore, Sig didn't dare to hypnotize them easily—it was fine to fool them with words or use Psychological Suggestion, but if he directly hypnotized a Homies, Big Mom, who was already a true Soul-Soul Devil Fruit ability, would likely sense it.
"Ahem, Ai, I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?" Sig asked awkwardly.
Enel:...
A bad feeling has already set in!
"Bad news," Enel asked with a long face.
"Aren't you sure you don't want to hear some good news? Cough cough... Okay, the bad news is that Captain Charlotte is planning to keep you here, handcuffed and kept as a pet." Sig said solemnly.
"Is there any good news to speak of?!" A tic-tac-toe sign popped up above Enel's head.
"The good news is you can marry Brulee."
"This... what kind of good news is this? So when... um?" Enel, seeing Zeus standing to the side, didn't explicitly say—when are we going to run away!
"I plan to say goodbye to Captain Charlotte tomorrow, and I'll inform your sister afterwards. You can rest assured and get married and have children on Whole Cake Island!" Sig also hinted to Enel —I don't need to run away.
Enel grew even angrier—So you've sold me out?
"We need to look on the bright side. Look... Whole Cake Island is at least safe, isn't it? Brulee ... cough cough, she's pretty good too." Sig sincerely tried to reassure Enel.
It wasn't just a matter of coping; Whole Cake Island was indeed very safe. For Enel, being here was a mixed bag, and it was hard to say whether it was advantageous or disadvantageous for him personally.
As for Sig...
Angel knows he'll be very touched that he's helped his brother-in-law settle down... right?
After all, this would prevent Sieg from constantly studying Enel's body, and Sig's sacrifice would be enormous!
Sig also comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, don't worry. If you really want to go to sea, then put in some effort. After two years and having a child, maybe Brulee won't have time for you anymore, and Captain Charlotte will let you go out and become a deputy Captain!"
Enel had initially wanted to ignore Sig, but upon hearing Sig mention children, he couldn't help but stare at Sig and mutter, "I wish things went that smoothly for me..."
"Huh?" Sig suddenly paused, sensing the emotion hidden in Enel's words.
"What... what did you say?" Sig grabbed Enel's ear.
"Let go! Do you think just anyone can grab me?" Enel, realizing he couldn't escape, became ruthless towards his brother-in-law—after all, I'm Big Mom's son-in-law, this is my territory, isn't it?
"What do you mean 'also'? You... your sister..."
"Huh? Didn't that guy named Jack mention you?"
"I haven't met Jack yet!"
Back on Giant Island, when Sig and Katakuri left, Jack was still in another port. Otherwise, as Sig's top Little Brother, he would definitely have rushed over and clashed with Katakuri...
