Chosen the wrong side?
The vast battlefield fell into a brief, dead silence.
Everyone's eyes turned in unison toward Charlotte Linlin.
Especially Perospero and her other biological children, whose faces showed a trace of disbelief.
In their eyes, Big Mom Charlotte Linlin had nothing but muscles and all kinds of sweets in her head.
Since when had she ever thought to use her brain to persuade someone?
"Hmph, Linlin, your words really are surprising. I thought you would do as you always did and come charging at me, screaming for my blood," Shiki snorted.
"However, Linlin, you are wrong this time. We walk different paths and cannot make common cause. I have no interest whatsoever in that petty ambition of yours and Kaido's."
As former members of the Rocks Pirates, the only person Shiki had ever truly respected, aside from Whitebeard, was no one—not even Rocks himself.
Otherwise, after escaping Impel Down, Shiki would have sought out only Whitebeard, not Charlotte Linlin and Kaido of the Beasts.
Otherwise, if Shiki had invited them to conquer the world in his own name, Charlotte Linlin and Kaido of the Beasts would never have had Gol D. Roger's courage to refuse working with him.
"Hmph, Shiki, you're still the same—completely full of yourself!" Charlotte Linlin suppressed her displeasure and snorted in reply.
"However, if I told you that Kaido and King are currently hunting down Thunder Dragon Laxus, the one who killed you, then you should be interested in forming an alliance with us."
"Don't forget, the Blood Flag Pirates suddenly appeared here, and Thunder Dragon Laxus just happened to appear here as well. If you claim the two have nothing to do with each other, I'm afraid no one would believe you."
At this point, Charlotte Linlin's mocking smile grew wider.
