Whitebeard Began to Consider Retreating

Charlotte Perospero gave Charlotte Smoothie a grateful look.

At the same time, he also had to admit it.

Charlotte Smoothie's idea is good. It can quickly recruit strong people while maintaining the pirate crew's consistent style, which will satisfy Mom.

Sure enough, the next second...

The Big Mom nodded and smiled, "Smoothie, you're right."

Then the Big Mom added, "Perospero, which of my daughters haven't been married off yet?"

Charlotte Compote, Charlotte Mont-d'Or, Amande, Hachée, Charlotte Effilée, Angelle, Charlotte Bavarois, Charlotte Mash Charlotte Custard.

Charlotte Mozart, Charlotte Marnier, Snamon, Charlotte Melise, Charlotte Poire, Charlotte Prim, Charlotte Chiffon, Mable, Myukuru... Charlotte Joscarpone, Charlotte Nutmeg, Charlotte Nougat, Charlotte Harumeg, Charlotte Fuyumeg, Pudding, Flampe.

Including Smoothie, there are a total of thirty people.

"Ah?"

The Big Mom looked completely bewildered.

"So many?"

"Aren't Charlotte Compote, Charlotte Mont-d'Or, and Amande quite old?"

Finally, she turned to look at him and asked, "Smoothie, you're not married yet either?"

Charlotte Perospero: "..." Mom, you finally noticed?

Charlotte Katakuri: "..." I don't even have a wife yet!

Charlotte Cracker: "..." What are you saying, Mom? If you don't give the word, who among us would dare to get married?

Charlotte Smoothie: "..." If I remember correctly, Mom, you had rules before! Would I dare break your rules? Wouldn't that be suicide?

The four of them were utterly speechless.

Finally, they exchanged glances, and then Charlotte Katakuri, Charlotte Cracker, and Charlotte Smoothie all looked at Charlotte Perospero.

Who told you to be the eldest son!

The eldest son should act like the eldest son!

Charlotte Perospero's lips twitched slightly, then she nodded. "Yes, Mother."

Mom smiled happily, "So, that means we can form marriage alliances with thirty pirate crews, right?"

"Cough cough..."

Charlotte Cracker couldn't hold back any longer. "Mom... actually! If it's about a marriage alliance, it doesn't necessarily have to be a daughter. We can marry... after all, there are quite a few female pirates and powerful women in the New World. And many races and kingdoms have princesses too."

"Pfft..."

Charlotte Smoothie, seeing Charlotte Cracker's impatient look, simply couldn't hold back any longer.

Too.

For the Charlotte Family as a whole, daughters could still be married off. But none of the sons have gotten married!

They must have been going crazy from being cooped up for so long!

Even Charlotte Perospero and Charlotte Katakuri couldn't help but twitch their lips. However, they exchanged a glance.

They nodded in perfect unison. "Mom Cracker... arranged marriages don't necessarily mean marrying, you can marry someone else too."

"Ah?!!!"

These words seemed to open up New World for the mother, who then said with some joy, "That's right, how come I never thought of that before? Mom... Mom, then wouldn't we have even more marriage opportunities?"

Charlotte Perospero immediately nodded. "Besides those who were killed or captured, there are thirty-two others who can be married into the family. So, in total, there are sixty-two who can be married into the family."

"Sixty-two?"

The Big Mom's eyes flickered.

Then, he made a decision. "Alright! Charlotte Perospero, you take care of this. Within six months, I need the pirate crew to have sixty-two more powerful members, along with the forces behind them."

After saying that, as if remembering something, he immediately added, "This time, we must win over the Giant Tribe."

Charlotte Perospero: "It's Mom!"

Actually, even without the Big Mom saying it, Charlotte Perospero was already planning to do the same.

Among all races, the Giant Tribe are undoubtedly among the strongest. Successfully winning over the Giant Tribe would immediately elevate the overall strength of the entire pirate crew.

Most importantly, the Giant Tribe have always been a source of worry for Mom. If this worry is resolved, then his status within the entire pirate crew will improve.

She will definitely become the number one person after her mother.

Even the Three Sweet Commanders —Charlotte Katakuri, Charlotte Cracker, and Charlotte Smoothie —are ranked after him.

Instead of the current situation where the four of them are on equal footing.

The Whitebeard Pirates also received the news at this time.

Whitebeard stared at the intelligence report in his hand, completely dumbfounded. He muttered to himself, "This kid is truly astonishing!"

"Gurala la la..."

The Whitebeard, regaining his senses, burst into laughter.

He had never seen such a bold junior before. The key point was that this junior also possessed terrifying strength.

He thought of one person: Closs.

He was also someone who challenged the entire World Government, yet even Closs couldn't touch a hair on the Five Elders' head.

But this junior had trampled one of the Five Elders underfoot.

And it took his life.

"Phoenix" Marco, "Fire Fist" Portgas D. Ace, "Diamond" Jozu, "Flower Sword" Vista... At this moment, they all stood there, stunned.

Looking at the intelligence in their hands, they wondered if they were mistaken or if their judgment was flawed.

Because they simply couldn't believe it.

They could accept that Moke killed Celestial Dragons. After all, in their eyes, Moke was an incredibly audacious individual, and possessed the strength to match that audacity.

But those are the Five Elders!

The most outstanding among the Celestial Dragons, and the highest authority in the World Government.

This is no longer a question of whether or not one dares to.

Even if you dared to kill, you couldn't do it!

Those are the Five Elders, who are stationed in the Holy Land year-round. Unless you conquer the Holy Land, it's unlikely you'll be able to confront them.

Their appearance at Summit War was because the Navy had been nearly overwhelmed by them and Moke's group.

They were forced to appear.

But what about this time?

It's likely they were set up... but are the Five Elders so easily manipulated?

Even in the most serious situations, it's not certain they'll be allowed to leave the Holy Land.

Whitebeard stopped laughing, gazed into the distance, and said with a touch of melancholy, "It seems this world has already surpassed that of the young. It's time for us old folks to retire."

Upon hearing this, Marco Phoenix, Portgas D. Ace the Fire Fist, Jozu the Diamond, and Vista the Flower Sword exchanged glances.

I was utterly horrified.

Because Whitebeard's words contained a lot of information.

Ace was the most impatient of the four. "Pops, how could you back out? What will happen to the Whitebeard Pirates if you quit?"

Whitebeard looked at Ace, then his gaze swept over Marco Phoenix, Jozu the Diamond, Vista the Flower Sword Vista, and all the other captains.
