Each with Their Own Calculations
"Family? Hey, Linlin, we're pirates! Where are you going to find family that's strong enough and trustworthy enough?"
Huge rocks were transformed into exquisite food by the Knight's Sword. Charlotte Linlin picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, her eyes shifting uncertainly.
After an unknown amount of time, a flash of inspiration struck Charlotte Linlin, who recalled scenes from her childhood and made a decision that would later shake the sea.
"Since you have no relatives, you might as well give birth to it yourself. Only your own child will never betray its mother..."
"Moreover, Mother Carmel's dream was that all races could become family and eat together equally around a table."
"So... so, I'm going to fulfill my and the nun's dream and create a nation where all races can be equal, Mamamama!"
Streusen lowered its eyelids and gave a perfunctory reply, but a strange flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in its mind.
"Is that so? What a remarkable dream. Let me lend you a hand. Speaking of which, I have a good suggestion regarding your husband. What do you think of Uchiha Huayue?"
The Streusen straightened its back, its eyes sparkling with excitement, and quickly continued.
"That guy killed Rocks, destroyed the God Valley, and turned the whole world upside down. Not only can he use all sorts of strange abilities, but he's also so powerful. He might be some kind of special race!"
"Most importantly, a child born to a strong person will definitely grow up to be a strong person. As your first child, you absolutely cannot be too weak."
As Streusen got more and more excited, Charlotte Linlin couldn't help but recall the cold expression on Uchiha Huayue's face as he looked down at everything after they took off from God Valley.
To be fair, that guy was indeed very strong, and he hadn't even taken Devil Fruit. Could it be that Uchiha Huayue's abilities were innate?
Seeing her hesitation, Streusen chuckled and offered some words of advice.
"No problem, you're so stunningly beautiful and alluring, no man could resist your temptation..."
"By borrowing the seed, you can gain a future powerhouse who may be no less than Kaido or even Newgate, and he can definitely become your ally."
Charlotte Linlin smiled smugly, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly, her alluring pink lips captivatingly beautiful.
"Of course, that guy's power is quite unique. Not only can he incapacitate someone with a single glance, but he also has that strange prison..."
"If I could make him my husband, my dream of becoming the queen of this sea would be within reach, Mamamama!"
Streusen's eyes lit up; he and Charlotte Linlin were bound together by fate, for he and Charlotte shared both glory and ruin.
If Linlin becomes the King of the World, he will also enjoy endless wealth and glory, and a status second only to the king.
"But where is Uchiha Huayue? He hasn't been seen since Rocks died, and while other executives have shown up, he's the only one..."
"Probably in the God Valley. That guy cherishes the God Tree he talks about, so he must still be there taking care of it. Let's change course and head to the West Blue!"
At this moment, a unique spark shone in Charlotte Linlin's eyes; she seemed to already see the moment when her dream would come true.
On the other hand, on an unknown island in the New World.
"Seriously, Newgate has vanished without a trace, and that bastard John ran off with all the money. Where am I supposed to go now? This is so frustrating..."
Buckin Stussy muttered a complaint: with the Rocks Pirates disbanded, she really had nowhere to make a living.
"My God, please grant me a place where I can earn a living! I beg you!"
Just then, a futuristic-looking ship sailed in from afar. The leader on the deck turned his gaze, and countless ideas began to collide and emerge.
"So busy, so busy! I'm even trying to borrow a cat's paw. Speaking of which, the Lineage Factor experiment has reached a critical stage, and it's time to find some excellent experimental subjects."
A strange figure, resembling Giant Race with most of its body on its head, shouted loudly.
"An excellent experimental subject, that woman might be able to meet your requirements. She's a former executive of the Rocks Pirates, Buckin Stussy. After all, she was an executive of the Rocks Pirates. How about trying to invite her?"
With his curly eyebrows twitching slightly, his blond hair flowing freely, and dressed in a lab coat, Vinsmoke Judge casually offered his suggestion.
"Tch, what Lineage Factor? As a scientist, you should be researching how to massacre enemies—that's art! Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
"No, only the reform and development of biological and chemical weapons is true science. Scientific progress stems from the progress of warfare. What are you doing?"
The next second, the two exchanged a glance, snorted, and shifted their attention to their own research results.
"This nagging is so annoying, be quiet, Caesar, Queen, invite that woman over."
"You want to fight, buddy? Vinsmoke Judge!"
"Seriously, I'm so busy, so busy! You guys, hurry up and bring everyone up here. I'm so busy I even want to borrow a cat's paw..."
"Enough with the nonsense! I'll kill you one day, Vegapunk!"
Shortly afterward, as Stussy approached in astonishment, Vegapunk went to the bow and shouted at her.
"Buckin Stussy, are you interested in joining MADS and becoming one of us?"
"A place to freeload has appeared!"
"Rocks is dead. Where are you planning to go next? Still searching for those mysterious family members? How about we team up, Newgate...?"
"If the two of us join forces, we will definitely dominate the entire ocean!"
"No, this is my dream. I just want to find a real family."
He took a sip of the strong liquor, and the burning sensation rushed into his mind. Upon hearing this, the Golden Lion felt utterly bored.
"Forget it, this time without that guy Rocks getting in my way, I'm going to build the world's largest fleet and rule the entire ocean, hahahaha!"
"I hope you find your family, Newgate..."
With its head full of fluffy golden hair, the Golden Lion flew into the sky, heading straight for the distant sea, carrying a large amount of treasure obtained from the God Valley, and took its first step onto the naval fleet.
Whitebeard finished his last sip of strong liquor, picked up his Bisento, turned and left, sailing alone towards the distant sea in search of the family he longed for.
A few days later, in the West Blue, at the ruins of the God Valley.
When the naval and CP0 ships arrived, the scene before them left them speechless.
"Moshi, Moshi, Lord Five Elders, something terrible has happened! Outside the God Valley... outside the God Valley, there's absolutely nothing there! Giant trees? There's no trace of any trees at all..."
