Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

"By then, neither the World Government nor the Navy will be a match for us. After we've dealt with the World Government and the Navy, we'll fight each other to the death," Charlotte Linlin said.

Kaido scoffed at these words, saying, "With my current strength, I don't need to join forces with you."

Kaido smiled, intending to refuse Charlotte Linlin's offer, but Rod, standing to the side, shook his head and nodded to Kaido.

This is a fantastic opportunity! This is an old lady who practically delivered herself to our doorstep.

If we can control you, and then find another opportunity to control Golden Lion, then the Rocks Pirates will truly be reunited.

“I know! Old woman, when is your Camellia Festival? I’ll bring my son to attend.” Kaido said.

"Well, well, well! You little brat, you're smart enough to come over in five days. Bring the brat with you then!"

"If possible, bring Whitebeard along too. After all, he's an old friend, and I'd like to see him as well," Charlotte Linlin said.

"Hmph!" Kaido snorted coldly and hung up the Den Den Mushi!

"Jin! Go and inform that X Drake that I'm not sending anyone to pick him up. Let him sail to Wano Country himself. I'll be waiting for him there," Kaido said.

King the Wildfire nodded! He activated his Devil Fruit ability and flew away.

"Rhodes! Why did you agree? That old woman was clearly after you," Kaido said.

“Didn’t you want to drag her down with you a while ago? Why don’t we put that plan into action now?” Rod said with a smile.

"Sign that kind of contract? You can't do it now, can you?" Kaido asked.

“I can’t do it, but we don’t need to subdue her by signing a contract. Can’t we just beat her into submission?” Rhodes said.

Charlotte Linlin is a user of the Soul-Soul Fruit, which allows her to extract the souls of others and imbue other objects with life. She can turn an inanimate object into a living one with its own consciousness. For example, the Prometheus Zeus she created is an elemental force from nature.

To put it bluntly, Charlotte Linlin's abilities are incredibly overpowered, no matter which world she's in.

Whether a soul contract or a demon enslavement contract would work on her, Rhodes really couldn't guarantee.

Therefore, to subdue this old woman, we need to use some special methods, such as the methods of pirates.

"The world of pirates is a dog-eat-dog world. Since she was able to join the Rocks Pirates, there's no reason why she couldn't join your Beasts Pirates."

"You and Whitebeard together, surely you can subdue that old woman? Just beat her into submission," Rhodes said.

The world of pirates is a world where big fish eat little fish, and he has fully grasped this point. In that case, now the two bigger fish, Kaido and Whitebeard, can eat Charlotte Linlin.

“That makes sense. That old woman is no match for me now, hehehe! Let’s do as you say and go subdue this old woman and beat her into submission.” Kaido said excitedly.

Big Mom's power is also crucial. Rhode wants to conduct an experiment to see if Charlotte Linlin's Soul-Soul Fruit can replenish his soul energy.

“I remember Lingling has a daughter whose Devil Fruit power is the Memory Fruit, which is very useful,” Rod said with a smile.

Being able to view memories and arbitrarily alter their fruits is extremely useful.

If used properly, it might have unexpected effects. After all, you wouldn't want anything to happen to your mother or siblings, would you? - Brin

"You little rascal, you've really got your eye on her daughter." Kaido said.

"I did have my eye on her daughter, but not in the way you're thinking."

"Once X Drake arrives in Wano Country, the Memory-Memory Fruit will be able to check if he's a Marine spy. Then you'll know whether I've been lying to you or not," Rhodes said.

"It will take at least ten days to drive from the entrance to the New World to Wano Country, after the tea party ends."

"We can get back just in time to deal with that X Drake. If he really is a World Government spy, then we'll extract his Devil Fruit power," Kaido said.

"Mom, should we stick to our original plan and force that kid to stay?" Charlotte Perospero asked.

“Kaido is coming this time too, but if our plan works, we should be able to control Whitebeard through that kid,” Charlotte Linlin said.

"Whether this will succeed depends on whether that girl, Pudding, can alter that kid's memories," Charlotte Katakuri said.

“Oh my god! Pudding, you can definitely control that kid and change his memories to make him a member of our family. Your husband, you won’t let your mother down, right?” Charlotte Linlin said to her daughter.

"Ai! Don't worry, Mom, I'll definitely be able to change that kid's memory, hehe." A girl with three eyes, who looked about fourteen years old, said with a sinister smile.

Chapter 94 The Plan to Replenish Soul Energy, Heading to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand

What is the Big Mom Pirates plotting? Rhodes had no idea, nor did he care.

Before absolute power, any schemes and tricks are futile. With Kaido and Whitebeard, two of the top combatants, Rhodey is not afraid of Charlotte Linlin at all.

Before the arrival of Whitebeard, the Death Knight, and Sylvanas, the Banshee Queen, Rhodes indeed did not want to provoke this user of the Soul-Soul Fruit.

After all, the other party's abilities were too strange, and a soul contract might not be able to bind her.

But now that we have Sylvanas, who has eaten the Revive-Revive Fruit, she has a spiritual advantage over Big Mom. After all, the Queen is not that useless Brook.

With Whitebeard's power skyrocketing as a Death Knight, Charlotte Linlin would have absolutely no chance of winning against him.

Kaido alone could easily overwhelm the entire Big Mom Pirates, including all of Big Mom's children.

Katakuri is the only one with real strength. The other two Sweet Commanders are, to be honest, not strong enough to compete with the Beasts Pirates. They can't compare to the three top commanders.

The entire Big Mom Pirates are supported by Big Mom alone, accounting for 90% of their fighting power. Moreover, Rhodes doesn't intend to ask Big Mom to help him replenish his soul energy.

Instead, it would directly plunder the souls of his creations, which would require Her Majesty's help; she alone could not do it.

That evening, in Rod's bedroom.

“Rhodes, you seem to have a lot of expectations for this person named Charlotte Lingling. Is there anything special about her?” Sylvanas asked, lying on Rhodes’ left side.

She could tell that her little man seemed to care a lot about this woman named Charlotte Lingling, and even had a slight sense of apprehension.

"Charlotte Linlin is a top-tier pirate, one of the strongest on this sea, on par with my father. She's a monster among monsters, and in terms of defensive capabilities, she's even stronger than my father," Yamato, who was sleeping to Rhodes' right, said.

She wasn't joking. Although her father, Kaido, was known as the strongest creature in the sea, land, and air, and the strongest in one-on-one combat in the world.

However, Charlotte Linlin's defensive capabilities are indeed superior to Kaido's; the latter is known as the "Iron Balloon."

Even without using Armament Haki, his defense is stronger than that of his father, Kaido. After using Armament Haki, even his monstrous father, who is as strong as him, cannot break through his defense.

Furthermore, Charlotte Linlin's Devil Fruit ability is also very powerful, allowing her to manipulate various forces in nature, just like her father's Devil Fruit, which allows her to manipulate elemental forces such as lightning, fire, and storms.

She even brought her weapon to life, and Yamato told Sylvanas all the basic common sense about Charlotte Linlin.

"No wonder you were so wary of her, Rhodes; her ability is to manipulate souls."

To even imbue inanimate objects with life using a soul! This is indeed quite unbelievable, especially in the world of Azeroth.

"This is a power that only the Titans, or the Old Gods, possess," Sylvanas said.

To give life to an inanimate object is a miracle, something only a god could do, a true god.

"That's not the case, Sylvanas. She cannot create soul power out of thin air. Her Devil Fruit power is to steal a portion of the souls of other humans."

Then, these souls are used to create entirely new life. Theoretically, it's just a transfer ability, not a soul creation ability out of thin air.

"Compared to the Titans or the Old Gods, she's far from being a match! Charlotte Linlin is at best comparable to some weak Titan Guardians, or even a top-tier mortal," Rhodes said.

Creating life out of thin air is something only the Titans, or perhaps the legendary First Ones, could do.

"That's still amazing. And Charlotte Linlin is a natural destroyer. When she was five years old, she was already over three meters tall."

He was born with an incredibly strong physique. When he was five years old, even a veteran adult giant warrior couldn't break through his defenses and was killed by him. Even without any training, he was a monster among monsters. Are you confident you can deal with him?" Yamato asked.

"Don't worry! Yamato, don't underestimate your old man, and don't underestimate Whitebeard either. Either of them could take care of Charlotte Linlin." Rhodes patted Yamato on the back and said.

“Your soul energy is insufficient right now, and even if you had enough, you might not be able to subdue her, since she has the power to manipulate souls. What do you plan to do about her, Rhodes?” Sylvanas asked.

The key is how to subdue her. Such a terrifying monster is not difficult for Rhode to defeat now, after all, he has two top-level combatants.

But the key point is this: even if Rhodes' soul energy recovers, he may not be able to subdue her.

“I might not have been so sure before, but things are different now, Sylvanas. The Resurrection Fruit you ate allows your soul to leave your body, which can, to some extent, counter Charlotte Linlin’s abilities.”

She created many soul constructs called Homies, which are found all over the world. I intend to try to absorb the soul energy of these Homies.

After restoring our soul energy and defeating Charlotte Linlin, we can use something to tempt her into joining us.

"If she's unwilling, then we'll temporarily detain her. When my strength is sufficient, I'll naturally find a way to deal with her," Rhodes said.

Furthermore, if possible, he could even utilize her daughter Pudding's Memory-Memory Fruit ability to directly alter Charlotte Linlin's memories.

The key is to win this woman's heart and soul. Speaking of which, this girl is still a cute fourteen-year-old little girl, isn't she? Just thinking about it makes my heart flutter!

Ahem! I was so wicked!

However, imprisoning the old woman could indeed be used to blackmail her and her children into working for them.

Once the Queen's Yomi Yomi no Mi (Feast of the Dead) is fully developed, she will be able to counter Big Mom's power, and then she can sign a demon slave contract with her.

To be honest, forceful control is ultimately a poor approach. If you want to truly recruit capable subordinates, you have to win their hearts and minds.

Improving one's own abilities is the key! The road ahead is long and arduous.

“I understand. I will make good use of the power of this world. The three types of Haki and the power of the Yomi Yomi no Mi will further enhance my strength,” Sylvanas said.

Now, I am completely on Rhodes's chariot.

“Once the situation calms down a bit, I plan to develop a new world, and I’ll take both of you with me,” Rhodes said.

“Yes!” Yamato and Sylvanas said together.

"By the way, do you have a suitable candidate to consume Gecko Moria's Shadow-Shadow Fruit?" Rhodes asked.

"Of course I do. I have a few suitable Dark Rangers, all of whom were once Windrunners, some of whom have followed me for hundreds of years."

"The most suitable candidate is the Dark Ranger Verona. Her strength ranks among the top of all Dark Rangers, second only to me," Sylvanas said, turning over.

Veronara, Rhodes suddenly remembered her; this Dark Ranger was quite famous.

She has appeared in the Hunter's Class Hall and will be one of the future leaders of the Forsaken.

Together with a princess of Lordaeron who had become an undead, and several other high-ranking Forsaken, they formed a council to rule the Forsaken race.

This person's strength is indeed up to par, and most importantly, as a Dark Ranger, he is also one of Sylvanas's elite troops.

These female dark rangers are Sylvanas's most loyal followers.

"Then let's go with her! Before we set off, let's extract the Shadow-Shadow Fruit from Moria's body?" Rhodes asked.

“Let’s wait until we retrieve that Ancient Allosaurus Fruit! This fruit is extremely important to us Forsaken, and I must ensure that everything goes smoothly,” Sylvanas said.

"Okay! Let's rest!" Rhodes yawned and said.

Would you say I'm enjoying the best of both worlds right now, having two women on my left and right?

"Wait! Hand in today's homework first!" Sylvanas said.
