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

Then a large bucket of demon blood was poured out, the blood of the Abyss Lords, and it was a mixture of the blood of two Abyss Lords, filling a whole bowl.

Rhodes doesn't trust verbal agreements at all, nor does he intend to. Therefore, the safest approach is to sign a formal contract.

Charlotte Linlin has lost the power of her Devil Fruit, so now you can sign a Devil Contract with her.

"This stuff smells awful! What is it? If you're going to drink 'adopted son's sake,' bring some normal wine!" Charlotte Linlin frowned and said.

"Haven't you always been curious about why Kaido became so powerful?"

You'll know once you drink it. It's a new power that you can use after losing your Devil Fruit.

"In another world, you can also learn about rage energy," Rhodes said.

Actually, if this older woman had continued with physical training all the way to the end, her physical fitness might have been even better than it is now.

Therefore, the power of evil, combined with rage, is actually a better match for the old lady.

"This power is called fel energy, a power that can be controlled, just like the life energy I used to revive you." Kaido said, gathering a ball of green fel energy in his palm.

Life energy is emerald green, while evil energy is dark green.

"Mom! I know! No wonder Kaido has become so strong."

"So such a wonderful thing exists! With this new power, I'll catch up quickly too." Charlotte Linlin said, picking up a large bucket of fel blood.

I downed it in one gulp.

After drinking the blood of evil energy, Charlotte Linlin's body reacted immediately. A pair of huge demon wings appeared behind her, demon horns grew on her head, green diagonal patterns appeared on her body, her hands turned into claws, and her feet turned into demon hooves.

It has to be said that this woman had a really good figure when she was young; she was practically a giant version of a female succubus!

However, Rhodes did not hesitate to take out a demon scroll and inscribe the demon contract on Big Mom's body, drawing a demon enslavement circle.

“Don’t resist. I’m signing a soul contract with you. Only after signing this soul contract will I completely trust you. Otherwise, I won’t trust you,” Rhodes said.

"I understand, Captain. Since I promised you, I will not betray you." Charlotte Linlin nodded, accepted the demon enslavement circle drawn by Rhodes, and then signed a soul contract with Rhodes, officially becoming Rhodes' subordinate.

Now, with just a thought, Charlotte Linlin must obey him unconditionally; her life and death are in his hands.

"Captain, where are my children? You didn't hurt them, did you?" Charlotte Linlin stood up, swayed, and asked.

“All your sons are in Wano Country. I have moved all the islands of Tales of Whole Cake Island to Wano Country,” Rhodes said.

"So, Captain, is there any task you have assigned to me?"

If I don't have any assignments, I'd like to visit my children.

"And have some dessert, I haven't had any for over a month," Charlotte Linlin said.

Her food cravings are about to flare up.

"Alright, go ahead! I'll give you three days to rest and spend time with your children."

While you're at it, have some sweets and snacks. Three days later, you'll cross the Dark Portal and come to the world of Azeroth on your own.

"I'll have Kaido teach you how to use rage, and you also need to learn how to control fel energy properly," Rhodes said.

"I understand. This demon transformation is equivalent to a Zoan-type Devil Fruit ability. I will train this power diligently." Charlotte Linlin finished speaking and deactivated her demon transformation, returning to her original form.

Rhodes nodded.

That's the good thing about the world of One Piece: the changes caused by evil energy can transform into a form similar to a Devil Fruit.

I wonder if Charlotte Linlin would be turned into a Mythical Zoan if she were given a Zoan-type Devil Fruit due to her evil powers?

However, the old lady's physical condition was already very strong, and now that she has taken the evil energy to stop the bleeding and gained the power of a demon transformation, the Zoan-type Devil Fruit ability seems to be just icing on the cake.

After explaining a few more things to Charlotte Linlin, Rhodes simply let her leave on her own.

“My dear father-in-law! If you’d like, I wouldn’t mind if you found me another mother-in-law.” Rhodes approached Kaido, raised an eyebrow, and said.

Charlotte Linlin did become incredibly ugly when she got old, but when she was young, her appearance was absolutely stunning! Her figure was simply perfect.

"I have no interest in that old woman. I was just repaying a favor. If I were looking for a woman, I'd go for Black Maria." Kaido snorted and left.

Wow, my father-in-law is quite proud, but Black Maria's words are also very impressive!

Now, three of the Four Emperors are under his command, and their strength is even greater than before.

If we let one of them sit in charge of the pirate world, the World Government basically won't dare to do anything.

Once he becomes a high-ranking member of the Burning Legion, he will lead the legion's demon army to completely conquer the pirate world.

Chapter 128 The Power of the Soul-Soul Fruit, the Power of Soul Manipulation

The return of the younger version of Charlotte Linlin certainly excited her children. The now more powerful Charlotte Linlin quickly won over her group of children.

Although she lost the Soul-Soul Fruit, the Homies that Charlotte Linlin created earlier are still alive.

Zeus, Prometheus, and Napoleon, the three strongest Homies, still followed her.

Upon returning to the Kingdom of Treasures, Charlotte Lingling indulged in a feast and then inquired about the condition of her women.

He then learned that his youngest daughter, Brin, had been taken away by Rod.

"Well, well, well! I never expected that little girl to go to that man's side in this way. Well, that's good too. I'll have more say in the future," Charlotte Linlin said.

"Mom, are we really going to surrender to that man?" Charlotte asked.

"There's nothing I can do about it. Your mother, I died once, and I owe it all to Kaido. That kid owes me a huge favor."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't have seen me this time. I'm already on that kid's ship now, so it'll be the same as when I was with the Rocks Pirates!" Charlotte Linlin said.

Charlotte Linlin didn't tell her children about the demon contract she signed, since it meant her soul was enslaved and her life and death were completely in the other party's hands.

Her eldest and second sons did a good job this time, preserving the strength of their family. After all, even their mother had been captured, so what could her sons do?

"Mom! You mean, as long as he's strong enough, we'll follow him forever, but if he's not strong enough?" Katakuri asked.

To be honest, during the month or so that his mother was away, Rod and Kaido treated them quite well, and he wouldn't object to following this captain. Therefore, he didn't want his mother to rebel, and if she showed any intention of rebelling, he might even inform on her.

“No! Don’t get any other ideas. Just follow this new captain. We’ll gain more from him. He’s different from Rocks. He’s more ambitious and more powerful than Rocks,” Charlotte Linlin said.

As long as the demon contract exists, one must submit unconditionally, let alone one's own children. They should stay obediently on the other side's ship!

Moreover, there are benefits to be had; at the very least, you'll become younger and gain even greater power.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. Hurry up and get me some pastries and cakes. I have to leave in three days. This time, Katakuri and Cracker, you two will come with me. Perospero, you and Smoothie will look after your younger siblings," the old woman said.

Kaido's crew members have all gained new power, so they have to bring their sons along to get a share of the spoils.

Three days passed quickly. During these three days, Charlotte Linlin did nothing but eat and try to control her demonic transformation and familiarize herself with this new power of fel energy.

Three days later, after calming down the people of the Kingdom of Twice, Charlotte Linlin led her two sons through the Dark Gate to meet Rhodes.

After seeing Charlotte Linlin off that day, Rod immediately ate the Soul-Soul Fruit, gaining the power to manipulate souls, and then practiced the fruit's abilities for three days.

After consuming the Soul-Soul Fruit, Rhode quickly mastered its power. His soul, having been modified by Azeroth, had reached the level of a demigod, far surpassing mortals, making it relatively easy for him to control the Soul-Soul Fruit.

The Soul-Soul Fruit can create life, but it requires the consumption of souls. These souls can be consumed by the user or stolen from others.

The strength of a creature's transformation is closely related to the amount of soul used; it can imbue any object, even some elements of nature, with life.

To seize another's soul power and lifespan, but you must make the other person feel fear and dread.

However, if the other party is willing to voluntarily hand over their soul, then Rhodes can also extract the soul energy. But if the target dies, there is no way to seize the soul energy.

However, he possesses the warlock skill, which allows him to collect soul fragments after an enemy dies, making this drawback negligible for Rhodes.

When creating things using one's own soul, the soul power consumed can be recovered by one's own soul power.

It can also create a soul avatar, consuming its own lifespan and soul, to temporarily enhance its strength in all aspects.

In addition, the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit also granted Rhodes the power to control souls, giving him a stronger binding force on things like demon contracts, or soul contracts.

I have gained a deeper understanding of the subtle workings of the soul.

Even now, the Burning Legion's high command, unless they are at Sargeras's level, has absolutely no way to break the demon enslavement contract established by Rhodes.

After gaining a basic understanding of the Soul-Soul Fruit's power, Rhodes conducted an experiment using the soul of a certain dreadlord.

In the world of One Piece, there is no way to capture a complete soul, but in the world of Azeroth, there was the soul of a certain dreadlord, which was captured by himself and Retson.

For an ordinary life form to be extracted by Rhodes, the other party must either be afraid or willing. However, if it is a pure soul, then there is no such problem at all.

However, Rhodes first used fel magic to torment the other party's soul before starting the soul extraction, and the effect was surprisingly good.

The souls of the Dreadlords are incredibly powerful, and these creatures have no lifespan limit. As long as they aren't killed outright, they can be recycled once they recover.

"Ah! Ah! Stop, stop!" Varimathras's soul cried out in agony.

His soul power is being slowly taken away by Rhodes. Why does this guy have abilities that target the soul?

There shouldn't be anyone in this world who controls this power that originally came from the Shadow Realm!

Even the Lich King they created using the Warden's abilities could only manipulate souls, not seize their power!

"Hahaha! Looks like I need to capture more Dreadlords! The soul energy of your race is the most perfect," Rhodes said with a smile.

The Dark Portal has been opened, and soon a large number of dreadlords, or other demons, will appear. These are all high-quality souls!

Although he has the Soul-Soul Fruit, which allows him to replenish his soul energy anytime, anywhere, Rhode still doesn't plan to sign soul contracts indiscriminately. Only the strong are qualified to be enslaved by him.

"You, what exactly are you?" Varimathras asked Rhodes in utter terror.

In the world of Azeroth, someone has actually mastered this power; it's unknown whether it will affect the master's plans.

Rhodes smiled, did not answer the Dreadlord's question, and extracted one-third of the Dreadlord's soul.

Rhodes stopped, locked the listless Dreadlord up again, and then walked out of the cell with satisfaction.

We need to follow a path of sustainable development, and in the future, we should capture more Fear Demons and extract their souls from time to time.

"Lord Rhodes! My mother is here! She says she's here to be at your beck and call as agreed." Pudding skipped over to Rhodes and said with a grin.

Lord Rhodes had taken advantage of her that night, and the next day, while she was fast asleep, her mother was released.

And since she joined the adults' ranks, it must have been her own doing that saved her mother's life.

"Hmm! You've met her?" Rod asked.

“Yes! Mom has become younger. Although she lost her Devil Fruit powers, she gained demonic power and can transform into a demon. My two older brothers have also come,” Pudding said.

“Tell her to go and learn rage from Kaido or the Beast Pirates, and your two brothers too! She won’t be able to help me if she doesn’t learn these things,” Rhodes said.

To be honest, Charlotte Linlin's training potential is even greater than Kaido's. Rhode is also quite looking forward to seeing how far Big Mom will grow in the future.
