I'm a big pirate, and you said I just went out to sea?

Chapter 191 Charlotte Linlin's Growth!

In the new world, an unassuming little boat is sailing on the high seas.

Although it's going out to sea.

However, as is customary, only a few people know that Mongo has set sail. To the vast majority, Mongo is still at the Sphinx, preparing to fight against the World Government.

Everyone believes that the current peace is merely the calm before the storm.

Just like the ocean today.

"Hahaha, I caught a big fish! This fish is sure to taste delicious!!!"

A girl's voice rang out, and a pink-haired girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old suddenly emerged from the sea, riding on a strange fish that was dozens of times larger than herself, causing the fish to struggle.

"Hey, behave yourself!"

The girl sat on the strange fish's fin and, annoyed by the fish's actions, casually slapped it.

then.

The strange fish rolled its eyes, made a gurgling sound, and began to sink.

"Damn it, is it that easy to beat?"

Fourteen-year-old Lingling is no longer the naive little girl she once was. She knows that her strength is extraordinary, and even a casual pat as a greeting could potentially lead to someone's death.

Once, while playing with a giant child, she accidentally broke the giant child's leg. From then on, she stopped being as playful as before and began to seriously learn to control her strength.

As a result, Lingling's abilities underwent a dramatic transformation in just two years.

Even without fighting any strong opponents.

Even just sparring with Monger, he was rated by Monger as being no less than a general-level powerhouse. If he could fully master the ability to foresee the future with Observation Haki and to destroy internal structures with Armament Haki, he probably wouldn't lose to Harald. If he learned Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, he would probably be able to fight Monger in his current state.

Of course, this is on the premise that Munger doesn't enter the life-threatening state.

In his life-or-death state, Monger's strength far surpasses his current level. Let alone ordinary general-level powerhouses, even he in his normal state wouldn't last long.

Overall, Lingling has, if not fully realized, unearthed most of her terrifying talent.

The future self is completely different from the person I originally envisioned.

Soul-Soul Fruit?

Even dogs won’t eat it!

Monger once considered giving the Azure Dragon Fruit to Lingling, but considering Lingling's situation, she hadn't even fully explored her own talent, and eating the Azure Dragon Fruit would only distract her.

So Monger gave up the idea of ​​letting Lingling eat the fruit.

Although the fish was stunned.

But Lingling, who was in the water, stomped hard while holding the big fish.

Moon step!

The entire sea seemed to tremble, causing Munger to rush out of the room.

"Hey, Lingling, don't make such a commotion."

Before Mengge could finish speaking, he saw Lingling descend from the sky carrying a huge fish. With the size of that fish, it could easily sink the entire Millennium Falcon.

However, neither Monger nor Stusi, who was sunbathing on the deck, had any worries, because just as Lingling and the big fish were about to collide with the Millennium Falcon, the big fish began to shrink almost visibly.

Finally, after landing on the deck, there was only a soft thud.

A large fish nearly 100 meters long.

It turned into a small fish several meters long.

The ability to do all this is naturally due to Liprit's Devil Fruit power.

"Cook! Cook!"

Lingling landed on the deck as well, raising her hand and cheering.

Although she was happy staying at the Sphinx, Lingling was happiest when she was on the Millennium Falcon with Munger.

Because Munger is strong enough.

No matter what she does, she won't make any irreparable mistakes. All she needs to do is have fun and drink her fill.

"Hmph, if you make such a fuss again next time, I won't help you clean up the mess."

"Hehe, I'll definitely do it next time."

Both Mengge and Lingling saw the school of fish approaching the Millennium Falcon. Lingling's step just now had attracted the attention of many giant sea kings.

"I'm sorry, my child is being unreasonable. Please forgive him."

Having the ability to hear the voices of all things, and after learning to communicate with people using his domineering aura, Monger can more easily talk to these giant creatures living in the sea.

With just a few words, Monger dispelled the anger of those giant sea monsters.

It's no use not to eliminate it.

A domineering communication style is not only more convenient, but it also lets the animals feel the weight of that domineering presence, letting them know who they can mess with and who they can't.

So, a group of giant sea kings got angry, and that was it.

"Old man, I want to learn this move!"

"I reject."

"Hey, why?"

"Because I've noticed that you're increasingly disregarding me as the captain lately. You used to call me Grandpa Monger, but now you call me old man."

Monger looked heartbroken. Where had the obedient and well-behaved Lingling gone?

Of course.

She may be well-behaved, but that doesn't necessarily mean she's obedient.

Lingling used to seem well-behaved, but in reality, she couldn't understand human speech most of the time, and many words were easily misunderstood by her.

Now, although Lingling is no longer obedient, she is much smarter than before. She can understand what others are saying and knows what she should and shouldn't do, but whether she is willing to do it or not is another matter.

As the possessor of Conqueror's Haki, Lingling naturally has her own ideas.

Just like Rona.

Although she had a relationship with him and they often met and sparred together, she was neither Monge's subordinate nor his vassal.

Lingling is the same.

However, their long-standing close relationship prevented her from easily disobeying Monger, but Monger made her do things she didn't want to do.

That would ruin Lingling's feelings for him.

So Monger would sometimes scold Lingling, but as Lingling grew up, he would give her enough respect, rather than thinking that she had to obey his orders just because he had raised her from a young age.

"Oh well, if you don't want to teach me, then don't. You wouldn't be able to teach me anyway."

Lingling stuck her tongue out at Mengge. She wasn't some clueless idiot. To communicate with animals, one must first have the talent to hear the voices of all things. Just like her special constitution, this kind of thing is innate. You either have it or you don't. It's not something Mengge can teach her.

"Hehe, although I can't teach you to talk to animals, I do have fruits that allow you to talk to animals."

Monger said with a smile.

"Is there really such a thing?"

Lingling was taken aback when she heard what Mengge said.

"of course."

With the growth of the White Wolf Pirates and the accumulation of sufficient financial resources, Monger naturally had the confidence to acquire Devil Fruits.

Although many Devil Fruits cannot be identified and their effects are unknown, even if they are acquired, people dare not easily feed them to their own people.

However, some fruits can be identified directly, such as the Whisper Fruit that Monger is talking about now.

However, this fruit only allows one to communicate with animals, making it a generally considered useless fruit. Therefore, the White Wolf Pirates' purchasing agent bought the fruit for less than five million Berries.

"How about it, do you want to eat?"

"I do not want it!"

Lingling refused without hesitation. In order to communicate with animals, she would eat a useless fruit, but the price would be losing her ability to swim.

She wouldn't want that!

Besides, Devil Fruits are notoriously unpalatable, and as a gourmet, Lingling says she would never try one in her life.

Monger had anticipated this.

The Whisper Fruit was bought to feed the lanternfish's keeper. After all, the Sphinx's inner island is currently inside the lanternfish's stomach. Although the lanternfish understands simple communication, others might not be aware of its needs. Just as Monger has always done, he prefers to bind people to his work through favors and benefits, rather than pure oppression.

Although lanternfish are fish, they possess the wisdom of children.

Unrelenting oppression will inevitably lead to trouble in the end.

After the brief interlude, Lingling carried the unconscious fish to the kitchen, while the others remained indifferent.

That's right, Lingling's biggest improvement over the past two years has not been in her skills.

It's not about cooking skills!

One day, when Lingling wanted to eat cake, the cake shop was closed because it was too late, so Lingling kept messing with Mengge.

Finally, Monger couldn't take it anymore and simply spoke up.

"Since you want to eat cake so much, why don't you just make it yourself?"

So Lingling embarked on a path that was completely different from her original future.

That's why her skills have improved to this extent.

Half the reason is that she is so strong that even the simplest mischief will cause egg yolk to splatter everywhere.

So, in order to cause trouble and to knead dough, she gradually learned to control her strength.

When Lingling came out wearing a chef's hat and apron, even Munger was momentarily stunned.

This was an entirely unexpected turn of events. He had originally planned to hire a chef for his ship, but now he didn't need to at all.

"Come on, try my grilled fish!"

Lingling handed the sliced ​​fish to Mengge, looking at him expectantly. Mengge took a bite, and the crispy fish skin and tender fish meat entered his mouth. With Lingling's superb skills, every fish bone was removed, and the fish meat tasted incredibly refreshing.

"It was delicious!"

Mengge couldn't help but sigh, in less than two years, Lingling's cooking skills had completely surpassed hers.

After all, he usually cooks just to survive, and as long as it satisfies his own taste, he won't put too much effort into learning.

Lingling, on the other hand, had pure passion.

People who love to eat also have excellent cooking skills.

No matter what happens.

Lingling's future will surely be even more wonderful.

but.

"Wait, Lingling, if I remember correctly, this fish was originally dozens of times larger than it is now, right? So what happens after we eat it?"

Although Lipley's ability can shrink fish, the energy produced by the fish meat after it is eaten is still the original energy.

So, even though Munger only took a small bite, it was actually equivalent to him eating a whole cow.

Monger didn't care.

Upon hearing Monger's words, the others on the ship eagerly began to enjoy the delicious food, and by the time Monger realized what was happening, it was too late.

Lipriy is alright.

She was a giant, and the amount of food she needed to eat each day was dozens of times that of an ordinary person.

But Stussy and Tengetsu suffered.

At a glance, Monger noticed that their bellies were protruding, just like when they were three or four months pregnant, which made him quite tempted.

"Sigh~"

Seeing Monger's aggressive gaze, Stussy stomped on Monger's foot hard, and even Tenzuki couldn't help but roll his eyes at Monger.

Pregnancy and childbirth are not easy things.

As for Tenzuki Toki, she was born with the personality of a Yamato Nadeshiko, and after acknowledging Munger, she had already made preparations for having children for him.

But what was Stussy's initial dream?
Outlive Munger and inherit his legacy!

Although Stussy gradually changed her mind over time, it doesn't mean she was willing to have a child at this age.

After all, she's a doctor, and she knows that childbirth can affect a woman's appearance to some extent.

As a woman who values ​​her appearance.

She didn't want to become a haggard old woman at such a young age and then lose Monger's favor.

When she looked at it...

Of all the women associated with Monger, all of them except for Rona and herself became pregnant.

If she remains indifferent, wouldn't she fall behind?
After all, she wasn't Rona. Even without Monger, she was still a powerful general. As long as she didn't cause trouble in Mary Geoise, she could practically do whatever she wanted on this sea.

She was just an ordinary doctor and crew member.

So Stussy gritted her teeth. After all, she was a Devil Fruit user, and no one knew her body better than her. One or two wouldn't make much of a difference.

The result was unexpected.

Despite being the youngest, she was pregnant with twins.

Thinking of the pain she experienced during childbirth, Stussy felt an urge to bite Monger. If Monger dared to abandon her, she would never let him go for the rest of her life.

It was precisely Stussy's stubborn little eyes that made Munger unable to resist touching him.

"Cough cough."

Lily coughed lightly.

There are children here.

He glanced at Lingling, then at He, who was fidgeting somewhat.

Monger immediately resumed his serious and focused demeanor.

Like everyone else, Crane ate a piece of fish, which made her stomach feel bloated and uncomfortable. When she saw Monge's slightly aggressive gaze, she tensed up even more.

Then he sighed inwardly.

Why is she nervous? Didn't she already prepare?
Two years ago, after receiving the message from the Navy, she was prepared. Although she was saddened when she received the message, she knew that she couldn't just be an ordinary crew member if she wanted to obtain Monger's secrets.

To gain Munger's trust, you must exchange something equally important.

However, for a girl like Tsuru, who comes from a naval background, seducing men is the least effective form of combat.

So much so that after two years, she and Meng Ge had made no progress whatsoever.

It seems that Monger only regarded her as an ordinary crew member.

This made He feel both relieved and somewhat disappointed.

She has been with the White Wolf Pirates for five years, a quarter of her life, a long time that she has almost forgotten her experiences in the Navy.

After all, the time between her enlistment in the Navy and her training to become an undercover agent for the White Wolf Pirates did not exceed one year.

She has spent far more time with the White Wolf Pirates than she has with the Navy.

Time can change a person.

Crane once thought he was steadfast enough in his commitment to justice.

But as she traveled with the White Wolf Pirates, visiting places like the Steel Eleven Kingdoms where the World Government oppressed and plundered the Celestial Gold, she saw a much wider world.

The crane became suspicious.

Is the Navy's justice truly justice? Or is it merely a justice that belongs only to a minority?
So the crane waits.

We need to wait until she truly understands her own thoughts before she can make a decision.

Until then.

She will decide her own identity!
Navy, or pirates!

Because Monger's goal was to find Roger's pirate crew, the ship's voyages, except when the destination was near the starting point of the New World, were mostly aimless drifting.

Until this day.

They spotted a merchant ship being looted.

And the flags on the merchant ships.

The White Wolf Alliance, created by the White Wolf Pirates!
