26 CH26: Big Mom's Ambition

[The Failure of Justice, The Tragedy in the Calm Belt]

[Trembling Prince, a natural monster of the Charlotte family]

[Shock! The Marines' Vice Admiral Ghost Spider was defeated, and the culprit turned out to be... The Marine Admiral held a press conference, announcing that Naval Headquarters' Vice Admiral Ghost Spider died in the line of duty while fighting pirates, a heroic sacrifice.]

[Big news! Naval Headquarters Vice Admiral Ghost Spider led the fleet to a fierce conflict with the BIG-MOM Pirates and the entire fleet was wiped out.]

[Marines announce a reward of 200 million Berries for Charlotte Wilhelm, "Trembling Prince," dead or alive]

On this day, the sea is destined not to be too calm.

As the news birds flew around the world, in towns and villages of all sizes, brand-new newspapers that still exuded the fragrance of ink were scattered, and the sea shook.

In recent years, the world's best-selling newspaper has been published.

A full page of news headlines marked in black and bold fonts is extremely eye-catching.

Next to it is a photo of Charlotte Wilhelm.

It's a little different from the arrest warrant; he looks like a handsome young man with gorgeous clothes and incomparable extravagance.

The background is beautiful; it should be at a tea party at Cake Island, the headquarters of the BIG-MOM Pirates.

"What?"

"How is it possible? Are you kidding me?"

"The iron-blooded Vice Admiral Ghost Spider, who was described as more terrifying than evil spirits and frightened pirates, died in battle?"

"Trembling Prince? Isn't he too young?"

"When did such a pirate appear in the BIG-MOM pirates?"

"This handsome silver-haired boy is a member of the Charlotte family, the son of the 'world's most vicious female pirate' Charlotte Linlin."

"Gulu! You're only fifteen years old, and you have a bounty of 200 million Berries?"

It is unbearable for the large and small marine bases and fortresses in the four seas and even the Grand Line. A Vice Admiral, especially one from Naval Headquarters, is a crucial pillar of the Marines, with significant status and influence. The sacrifice of Ghost Spider was by no means a trivial matter for the Marines.

Especially in the first half of the Grand Line, where the Naval Headquarters is located, a senior officer representing the backbone of the Naval Headquarters was killed, and the small fleet with thousands of Marine elites was wiped out.

Undoubtedly, it had a very bad impact.

When the news spread, it immediately caused an uproar.

All over the sea and even inside the Marines, there was an uproar.

"Wow! What a handsome man!"

"I'm sure I've found my prince charming!"

"He's so perfect, so cool and handsome~~~ It's over; I realise I'm about to fall."

"Trembling Prince, what a perfect little handsome guy; he is simply the most ideal dream lover~~~"

"Who has other photos of Charlotte Wilhelm? The Marchioness bought them at a high price."

"I've decided that from now on, Lord Wilhelm will be everyone's idol!"

"Ah~~~, I want such a handsome and cold husband!"

"No, I'm in love~~~"

But at the same time, people were shocked to find out.

After seeing the photo of Charlotte Wilhelm published in the newspaper, countless women are insane. They didn't pay any attention to the cruel crimes committed by this fifteen-year-old pirate, and Naval Headquarters directly offered a reward of 200 million Berries for his arrest.

Instead, each of them was directly attracted by the other party's unbelievably handsome face, as well as his incomparably ruthless and indescribably precious aura.

They were madly infatuated with that "Trembling Prince," holding his wanted poster, staring at the photo above, showing a nympho expression...

On the streets and alleys, those wanted warrants have just been posted. In an instant, they were looted by those women who had lost their minds. The ages of these women range from girls a few years old, girls in their teens, young women in their twenties, ladies in their thirties and forties...

Big and small, all became Charlotte Wilhelm fans. It's outrageously exaggerated. Similar things happen not only in one or two towns but all over the world.

The jaws of countless people were shocked. Charlotte Wilhelm, the Trembling Prince. All of a sudden, he became the most popular pirate among the women in this sea. This was unexpected for the Marines.

...

New World, Totto Land Sea Area, the headquarters of BIG-MOM Pirates, Cake Island.

Dreamy fairytale, colourful, huge cake castle.

"Master Katakuri..."

Katakuri, the second son of the Charlotte family and the strongest commander of the BIG-MOM Pirates, walked into the hall. He is strong and tall, with short amaranth-red hair, and the lower half of his face is covered by a white scarf, so one cannot see his whole face.

Black gloves, black vest, black leather pants, black Martin boots... It looks a bit cold, with a strong aura.

"Mother..."

Above the main hall, on the huge throne.

A woman with a figure like a small titan, a full eight or nine metres high, and a slightly bloated figure was lying there lazily. From time to time, she grabbed the sweet pastry and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Eat me~~~", "I'm going to be eaten~~~", "I'm going to be swallowed~~~"

Strangely, those pastries had anthropomorphic faces and made strange noises.

A series of weird shouts, extremely noisy. It makes people shudder inexplicably.

Charlotte Linlin caught a glimpse of Katakuri, enjoying the dessert. The face that had begun to get fat had some of the beauty of her youth.

Satisfied with the sweet taste, she asked nonchalantly, "Katakuri, what's the matter with you?"

"Mom, Wilhelm, and the others made a lot of noise in the first half of the Grand Line!"

Katakuri took out several brand new reward orders and reported to Charlotte Linlin with some helplessness: "They attacked Marine's fleet, killed the Naval Headquarters Vice Admiral Ghost-Spider, and were offered a reward of 200 million Berries by Marines now, even Smoothie, Cinnamon, and the others are wanted by rewards."

In Wilhelm's true strength.

It stands to reason that, of course, it is more than just a reward of 200 million Berries but Marine's bounty doesn't just refer to strength but also includes a personal assessment of the danger to the world and other aspects.

The more vicious and vicious pirates are, the more destructive they are to the people, and the pirates have a bad influence, so the rewards are often slightly higher compared to their personal strength.

Marine has always had a tradition, but the first time a pirate is issued a bounty, it is generally not too high.

Otherwise, if any fledgling pirate, as long as his strength is a little strong Marines will not hesitate to offer a huge bounty to him with great fanfare. The world will inevitably laugh at the Marines' incompetence; even a newcomer made them afraid to such an extent.

In this way, wouldn't Marines lose face?

It was the first time that Wilhelm was issued a bounty by the Naval Headquarters, and they did not hesitate to put it at 200 million Berries.

This response from the Marines, offering a bounty of 200 million Berries, clearly demonstrates the gravity of the situation. After all, one Naval Headquarters Vice Admiral and thousands of Marine personnel died.

It is by no means a trivial matter. This made Katakuri a little worried. The Marines are bound to do something next. It is impossible to let Wilhelm and his party run around in the first half of the Grand Line, where Naval Headquarters sits, and sit idly by.

"Is it news about Wilhelm? Ma ma ma ma..."

Charlotte Linlin's eyes widened in surprise, and she sat up abruptly, her massive form towering over the hall. Looking at the arrest warrants of Wilhelm that Katakuri displayed there, she laughed loudly: "Well done, you are worthy of being my son!"

She was 100% satisfied with Wilhelm, a son who had perfectly inherited her monster-like talent, was born with copper skin and iron bones, was invulnerable to weapons, and had mink tribe blood.

Handsome appearance, perfect talent, strong strength... The only thing she regrets is that Wilhelm is not as big as herself.

Charlotte Linlin has always had an unrealistic wish, or "dream," hoping that one day people of all races can gather together and truly be "equal."

Everyone is the same size as yourself; you don't have to look up at yourself, and you don't have to work hard to look down at them. At a grand banquet, everyone can be happy; there is no racial barrier, and everyone is the same size and height, sitting around a huge round table and enjoying delicious food.

That must be a very happy thing. Charlotte Linlin thinks so.

"Mom, Wilhelm's talent, as a big brother, I know very well. With his strength, Marine Vice Admirals, of course, cannot be his opponent."

Katakuri looked at the complacent Charlotte Linlin and raised his concerns: "But the first half of the Grand Line is after all the Marines headquarters. A Vice Admiral died unexpectedly, prompting the Marines to take action to uphold justice and maintain order in the seas."

"I'm worried that Marine Admirals may target him next!"

"Ma ma Ma ma, don't worry, Katakuri..."

Charlotte Linlin was not worried at all and said confidently, "You and Wilhelm are both my dear children, my most valued right-hand man, and Wilhelm is my perfect work so far. He can easily defeat that kid Cracker; with his ability, even an Admiral from Naval Headquarters would be unable to keep him!"

"Mamamama~, last time I wanted him to be the Fourth Sweet Commander of the Charlotte family, but it's a pity that the kid himself refused!"

She glanced at Katakuri and said without doubt: "You don't have to worry about this matter; let him make trouble outside; even a real sword needs to be sharpened to shine, Ma Ma Ma Ma."

Paramecia: Transfer Fruit, she has seen it with her own eyes. If Wilhelm wants to leave with all his heart, who can keep him in the sea?

It's not a bad thing to let him hone a little outside. Maybe he will grow up sooner.

What? Smoothie and the other sisters? Do they matter when there is such a perfect masterpiece as Wilhelm?

Although relatively speaking, the talent of the fourteenth daughter Smoothie is not bad, much better than the tenth son Cracker, who has been appointed as a " Sweet Commander" by her.

But if he died so easily in the first half of the Grand Line, it would only prove that he was too weak. In the eyes of Charlotte Linlin even all the members of the Charlotte family, including Katakuri, may not be as good as Wilhelm.

That innate, as powerful as herself, monster-like talent, sooner or later, he will surpass Katakuri, the "Strongest Commander," and become the strongest "spear" in her hand.

At that time, even that bastard "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate, "World's Strongest Man"... is also destined not to stop her ambition to possess the "One Piece.".

"Yes, Mom..."

Katakuri hesitated to speak.

But he dared not go against Charlotte Linlin's will. Normally speaking, with Wilhelm's ability, it's naturally impossible for anything to happen. But the three of them, Smoothie, Citron, and Cinnamon, were by his side.

If Naval Headquarters is ruthless, order an Admiral of Headquarters to attack in person, or let "Akainu," "Aokiji," and "Kizaru," who have monster-like strength and are fully qualified to be Admiral candidates go out.
