Although they were used to their mother's unpredictable behavior, Charlotte Linlin's words still left Katakuri and his companion somewhat bewildered.
The two looked at each other, then turned to their mother.
"You mean, you're inviting Dunn to your tea party?"
Perospero said somewhat uncertainly.
Wasn't I clear enough?
Charlotte Linlin looked down at her eldest son upon hearing this, her tone unfriendly.
"I understand, Mom!"
Seeing Charlotte Linlin's expression, Perospero immediately nodded.
"Now that you know, get on with it immediately and avoid any unnecessary conflicts."
Charlotte Linlin immediately told them to leave, then grabbed a large piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth, chewing it heartily.
The two brothers left in silence.
After they came out, Perospero frowned and looked at Katakuri.
Because of Katakuri's strength and prestige within the clan, Perospero, as the eldest member, had always been very unhappy with him.
But Perospero knew very well that after the family line, Katakuri was the true second-in-command.
" Katakuri!"
"No need to say anything more, what Mom said is the best solution right now."
Katakuri knew exactly what his older brother was going to say and interrupted him.
"No one can stop him. In that case, there's no point in doing anything else. If war really comes, gathering all our forces here is just right. If no war breaks out, that's the best outcome."
Katakuri then left.
Perospero stared blankly as Katakuri left.
My younger brother seems to have changed a lot lately.
What on earth is this guy thinking?
Perospero could never, or rather, dared not, imagine what Katakuri was thinking.
Because Katakuri was thinking of rebelling, rebelling against their capricious mother.
The rest of the Charlotte Family wouldn't even dare to entertain such a thought.
For Katakuri, this situation presents a great opportunity.
Katakuri knew all too well how powerful his mother was.
Even though he's now at the peak of his career, he still feels an uncontrollable tremor when he's facing his mother.
So, he wondered if he could take advantage of this opportunity?
But he wouldn't do it if it would put his younger siblings in danger.
This is something that's troubling him.
" Katakuri- san!"
Charlotte Brulee saw Katakuri walk past her, and after seemingly lost in thought, she called out to him.
Upon hearing Brulee's voice, Katakuri stopped in his tracks and turned to look at his younger sister.
This is my younger sister who was disfigured as a child because of me.
" Brulee, there's something I need you to do."
Katakuri turned and walked up to Brulee, speaking in a serious tone.
"Yes, Katakuri- san!"
Charlotte Brulee nodded immediately upon hearing this, without asking Katakuri what he wanted her to do.
" Dunn is coming to Whole Cake Island; he might have a war with Mom."
Katakuri spoke up.
" Dunn? The one who attacked Mary Geoise?"
Brulee's eyes widened, her voice trembling.
"Yes, it's that man. If war really breaks out..."
Katakuri's tone was low, as if he were in a heavy mood.
"Are you suggesting we gather everyone and use my abilities to hide, then strike at him later?"
"I can't believe it," Brulee asked curiously.
"No, use your abilities to evacuate your younger siblings if war really breaks out. This is not a battle you can interfere in."
Katakuri head and said.
"Not even Mom?"
Brulee's eyes widened, clearly shocked by her brother's words.
"Perhaps. If a battle really breaks out, you'd better stay away, because even being caught in the crossfire could be dangerous."
"I see."
Seeing Katakuri's look, Brulee nodded to indicate that she understood.
Please!
Katakuri patted Brulee on the shoulder and turned to leave.
Brulee watched Katakuri's retreating figure with a worried expression.
Even in the unique environment of the Charlotte Family, kinship still exists.
Brulee, who possesses the Paramecia Mirror-Mirror Fruit power, was Katakuri's idea to protect his younger siblings.
Brulee can create Mirror World and also use mirrors to achieve rapid movement.
If you are in the Mirror World, whatever happens in the world outside the mirror will not affect the Mirror World; they are two completely different spaces.
The Rose Hunter continues its voyage.
There's no need to search for the pointer on other islands.
Pinecone Island also needs to frequently transport pine cones to Whole Cake Island. After all, pine cones are a specialty of this island, and the pine cones offered as tribute are considered as taxes or protection fees to the Totto Land.
If you visit frequently, you'll naturally find Eternal Pose pointing to Whole Cake Island.
After all, the sea area of Totto Land is not small. Without a compass, there is a high chance of getting lost and possibly entering some dangerous waters within the Totto Land's territory.
On the ship, Robin looked at Dunn.
"To recruit those members of the Charlotte Family?"
As he spoke, Robin frowned slightly.
"These people have a bad reputation. If possible, it would be better to recruit Whitebeard's men than Charlotte Family."
"It seems you know them quite well?"
Dunn looked at Robin with some surprise.
"Of course, since I'm not strong enough, I have to help you in other ways."
Robin tilted his head back and said, looking quite proud.
But then his face fell, and his cheeks puffed out slightly.
"It's just that my strength is growing too slowly, and the gap between us is widening."
Robin's tone was full of helplessness.
"That's enough, considering how quickly we entered the New World, with almost no downtime."
Dunn waved his hand.
On this vast ocean, the best way to quickly become stronger is through numerous battles.
The fact that someone survived so many battles indicates that their strength has increased remarkably quickly.
However, with Dunn by his side, Robin didn't have many opportunities to make a move.
Even if they encountered enemies, Dunn and Ichisho could easily defeat them, leaving Robin with no chance at all.
Dunn didn't have a good solution to this situation either.
After all, he wouldn't send Robin into dangerous battles just to make Robin stronger quickly.
If that's the case, it would be better to keep one by your side and train her as a secretary, specifically to handle clerical work.
Robin could easily handle the role of secretary.
However, judging from Robin's current situation, she seems to care a lot about her own strength.
In that case, we need to think about how to help Robin improve.
While Issho's method of using gravity to help Robin become stronger could also make her stronger, it would obviously take a very long time.
