Ripening Sugar

But the question is, is there any evidence?

Do you?

Absolutely not.

Should we attack the Moke Pirates' territory without any evidence?

Stop joking.

That guy is one of the Four Emperors, his strength is unfathomable. He has already occupied Wano Country, and King, Queen, Jack have all joined the Moke Pirates.

These three guys are as strong Koby the Three Sweet Commanders.

Adding to the original strong members of the Moke Pirates — Enel, Issho, Shiryu, Weevil, Jinbe, and Gizas Jesus Burgess —there are a total of nine...

Perhaps in terms of overall numbers, they have an advantage due to their large number of brothers and sisters.

However, their high-level strength has been completely outmatched... Now, to deal with the Moke Pirates, the two Emperor Level pirate crews would have to join forces.

Because at this time, the Moke Pirates had replaced Whitebeard and become the leader of the Four Emperors.

Seeing that the two remained silent, Cracker immediately pressed, "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you genuinely surprised, or are you scared?"

Charlotte Perospero and Charlotte Katakuri fell into a brief silence upon hearing this. Finally, they exchanged a glance.

Both of them felt somewhat helpless. As one of the Three Sweet Commanders, Cracker was undoubtedly a powerful figure in the entire Charlotte Family and held a pivotal position!

However... his brainpower is relatively lacking.

Finally, Charlotte Perospero looked at him and asked seriously, "Putting aside the fact that this is just your deduction without any evidence, even if there were evidence, do you intend to lead the entire Charlotte Family to storm Moke's Gold City or Wano Country?"

Charlotte Katakuri added, "Now I guess Onigashima and Hachinosu are already in his hands! With a city, a country, and two islands in his grasp, Moke has completely established himself in the New World."

Moreover, they will rapidly expand their influence. Soon, there will be ten islands, twenty islands... until they occupy a quarter of the New World.

Most importantly, no one can stop his expansion.

Cracker, though not as intelligent as Charlotte Perospero or Charlotte Katakuri, wasn't stupid either. Even though Charlotte Perospero and Charlotte Katakuri didn't understand, he grasped the meaning behind their words.

Cracker fell silent.

Yes!

He was only thinking about avenging his dead brothers and sisters, but he forgot that Moke was not some Bishkek cat or dog. He was not someone they could easily manipulate.

Even though she had thought it through, she was still very unwilling. "What about Mont-d'Or and Brûlée? Aren't we just going to leave them alone?"

Upon hearing this, Charlotte Perospero and Charlotte Katakuri both froze, their eyes flickering.

Because they both felt the same resentment.

What can you do even if you're unwilling to accept it?

Of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard was on good terms with Moke's crew. While Red-Hair's relationship with Moke was only so-so, their relationship with Red-Hair was far from even that.

There are even quite a few unresolved issues.

Therefore, the chances of these two joining forces with them to deal with Moke are slim, or even impossible.

From another perspective, they should be lying low right now.

They want to keep a low profile because they can't possibly team up with Whitebeard or Red-Hair. However, Moke is highly likely to team up with the Whitebeard Pirates.

Even if we take a step back and assume that Moke and his gang alone could handle them, they would be a match for them.

At this moment, they were searching in their hearts for a way to deal with Moke... but for the time being, they really couldn't find any way.

I could only worry anxiously inside.

In Wano Country, Moke has already integrated all the forces of Wano Country.

Denjiro, Kikunojo, Raizo, Ashura Doji, Kawamatsu, Izo, Shinobu, Shimotsuki Yasuie, Toko, O-Tsuru, Hyogoro... and many other people from Wano Country were all recruited by Moke.

However, he wasn't one to leave any openings. So, aside from those who already possessed the ability, he fed these guys Artificial Devil Fruit one by one.

Then let O-Tama feed them some more meatballs.

Only in this way can he make these guys completely obey his orders.

But right now, the most important thing is... Moke's gaze fell on Shinobu. This guy's abilities are also quite unique.

It also belongs to the time attribute.

Shinobu is a "mature person" who ate the Ripe-Ripe Fruit, which allows her to instantly mature and age any object she touches; she can also accelerate the maturation of people, but only their physical age will be increased, not their psychological age. Things affected by the Devil Fruit Ability cannot be reversed or restored to their original state!

It could be said that his ability is the exact opposite of Ain's Return-Return Fruit.

The combination of these two people's Devil Fruit Ability is Jewelry Bonney's Devil Fruit.

"You may all leave!"

Moke dismissed everyone except for Shinobu.

Shinobu looked puzzled, his eyes filled with confusion, not understanding why Moke had left him behind alone.

At this moment, Moke turned to the other side and said to a corner, "Come out!"

Then, to Shinobu's surprise, Monet and Sugar emerged. Both looked excited, especially Sugar, because the captain had told her that this person could help her body grow.

To become an "adult".

This was something she had always dreamed of.

Only she herself knows how painful it was to be a child for decades; only those who have experienced it can truly understand.

Seeing her like this, Moke couldn't help but laugh, "Tell me! Which age group do you want to be?"

Sugar glanced at Monet beside her. "I want to be like my sister."

Moke looked at Shinobu, Shinobu immediately understood. The captain had left her behind alone to "force-grow" this child!

This wasn't difficult for her; she just needed to activate her ability.

So, he nodded and placed his hand on Sugar's body. The Devil Fruit Ability activated, and to Monet's astonishment, Sugar's body grew rapidly at a visible speed.

Originally 1.34 meters tall, she quickly grew to 1.5 meters, 1.6 meters, 1.7 meters... two meters... until she finally stopped growing at 2.3 meters.

Her body stopped growing, but her appearance continued to change. From a somewhat naive seventeen or eighteen-year-old, she grew into a mature woman, much like Monet.

It has to be said that these two are truly worthy of being called sisters; their resemblance is as high as 90%, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are twins.

Moke looked at Shinobu and suddenly reached out his hand.

Before Shinobu could react, Moke grabbed her head. Then, the Absorb-Absorb Fruit activated, absorbing all of Shinobu's memories of meeting Monet and Sugar, and of helping Sugar mature.

Moke turned to Monet and said, "Take her out. I've erased her memories of Sugar. That way, besides you and me, who wouldn't recognize Sugar?"
