That's right, Big Mom's way of finding reliable allies is through marriage, turning them into her "family".

Just as she single-handedly created the vast Charlotte Family, Big Mom believed that if she wanted the pirate crew to continue to grow, it would be a good way to arrange marriages between her sons and daughters and powerful figures.

Navy traitor Wood is now middle-aged, but still has no marriage partner. Big Mom's tea party is a good opportunity for him.

"Do you have any good ideas? If you were the Navy traitor Wood, would you prefer your sister?"

Big Mom devoured a palm-sized cake, and after searching through photos without success, she finally turned to her most cherished sons beside her and asked.

Upon hearing Big Mom's question, Perospero thought for a moment and then said, "Mom has a total of 39 daughters. Apart from those who are already married, there are actually quite a few who are unmarried."

But considering the age of the naval traitor Wood, Mond (the second daughter) and Armand (the third daughter) Castard are definitely not suitable.

"Then, considering that the other party is an ordinary human race, and according to the aesthetic standards of that race..."

I think Smoothie (14th female, one of the three Sweet Commanders, Minister of Juice), Garrett (18th female, Minister of Butter), Brin (35th female), and Flampe (36th female, Minister of Honey) would be quite suitable.

As Big Mom's eldest son and someone who frequently helped manage the affairs of Whole Cake Island, Perospero quickly offered some very pertinent advice.

After hearing Perospero's suggestion, Big Mom turned to her two other sons, Katakuri and Cracker, and asked, "Which of you two thinks is more suitable for the Navy traitor Wood, among the sisters Perospero mentioned?"

Katakuri is Big Mom's second son, while Cracker is Big Mom's tenth son. Together with Smoker, they are known as the "Sweet Commanders," and are the strongest fighters in the Big Mom Pirates besides Big Mom herself.

Cracker wasn't particularly interested in the marriage alliance, thinking that since his brother Perospero, who was acting as his strategist, had said so, he just needed to nod in agreement.

"To me, each of my sisters is an excellent being, so I cannot pick out any one of them as superior or inferior." This is Katakuri's statement.

As for Katakuri's words, no one present felt that he was being perfunctory; rather, they reflected the true thoughts of this doting brother and sister-obsessed maniac.

If we were to ask who the Charlotte family fears most within the entire Big Mom Pirates, it would undoubtedly be Big Mom herself.

But if we're talking about Big Mom's children, the most popular and most admired is undoubtedly Katakuri.

Katakuri, the leader of the three Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates, has a bounty of 1,057,000,000 Berries. He is a core member of the family.

He was extremely powerful and never lost a battle in his life. He was hailed as the greatest masterpiece of the Charlotte family and consistently ranked first on the list of the most popular older brothers in the Charlotte family.

He even has his own fan club. He's also known as the man whose back never touches the ground.

Katakuri tries his best to maintain a perfect image because it is the wish of his younger siblings, and his wish is to protect every member of the Charlotte family.

"Then let's choose from Smoothie, Galette, Brin, and Flampe."

"Perospero, of your sisters, which one do you think is the best fit for Arms King Wood?"

Big Mom knew that Katakuri and Cracker were unreliable, so she looked at her eldest son again and asked.

"Mom, if we look at it from an age perspective, I think Brin and Franpe are a better match."

After all, men generally prefer younger partners.

However, considering that the naval traitor Wood is a powerful figure on the high seas, he might have certain requirements regarding the strength of his partner. Therefore, Smoker and Galette have a better chance in this regard.

"The traitor Wood has his own territory and influence on the high seas. Even if he were to marry into our Charlotte family, he probably wouldn't stay in the Big Mom Pirates."

Smoothie is one of the strongest among our many brothers and sisters, and a high-ranking officer in our Big Mom Pirates. If she leaves with Wood, it will have some impact on the strength of our pirate crew.

Therefore, I think Garrett, Brin, and Flampe are more suitable.

The reason Perospero said that, besides the fact that Smoothie is indeed a major fighting force of the Big Mom Pirates, is that he said that.

It was also a veiled concern that if Smoker and Wood became husband and wife in the future, and Big Mom failed to win Wood over, Smoker might instead betray the Big Mom Pirates because of Wood.

Although Perospero trusted his sisters, such a thing was not entirely impossible.

Just like Lola, who was betrothed to Loki, the giant prince, she eventually ran away from the Big Mom Pirates because she disobeyed her mother's orders.

To be honest, Big Mom has shown too little concern for her children, and many of her siblings feel more fear than anything else towards her.

Therefore, it's not entirely impossible for them to betray someone once they find someone they cherish more.

Of course, Perospero couldn't possibly reveal his concerns right now, because if he did, his mother and Katakuri would definitely get angry.

Big Mom gets angry because she hates traitors, while Katakuri gets angry because he suspects his younger brother and sister's behavior.

"In that case, let's do as you wish and have Garrett, Brin, and Franpe also attend this tea party."

Meanwhile, Wood, unaware that he had been chosen as Big Mom's future son-in-law, was already in the New World with Robin in a small boat.

Because the distance from Alabasta in the first half of the Grand Line to the Totto Land in the New World is not exactly short, Wood even had to hire Sea Kings to pull the ship.

Furthermore, when entering the New World, they used the official naval route, which greatly shortened their journey.

Wood is probably the first pirate to be able to openly use the official passage and pass in front of the Marine Headquarters.

Although the navy headquarters was furious to see the small boats flying the Wood Arms Company flags passing by, they were also helpless.

Because Wood and the Golden Emperor Tesoro are the biggest tycoons of many Celestial Dragons, even Admiral Akainu of the Marine Headquarters, under the World Government's forced orders, could only watch helplessly as evil passed by.

After entering the Totto Land waters of the New World, Wood also encountered Baron Tamago and Pekoms, combatants of the Big Mom Pirates, who came to greet him.

"Welcome to the Kingdom of Totto Land, the kingdom of the Big Mom Pirates."

Mother knew Mr. Wood was coming to the tea party, so she had the two of us greet them again and act as their guides.

Baron Egg, a member of the "Long-Legged Clan," first gave Wood a very gentlemanly bow before speaking.

Chapter 325 Stuart, who wanted to win over Wood

"The Big Mom Pirates are indeed quite powerful. Just by acting as guides, they've arranged for Baron Tamago, with a bounty of 429 million Berries, and Pekoms, with a bounty of 330 million Berries?"

That's right, don't be fooled by the fact that the two people in front of you are not good-looking, and even a little funny.

However, Baron Tamago and Pekoms are both Big Mom's combatants, holding higher status than some of Big Mom's children, and their bounties are as high as 300 million and 400 million respectively, enough to easily kill most pirates in the New World.

"Others naturally don't have this weight, but Mr. Wood is visiting our Kingdom for the first time."

Furthermore, our mother greatly admires Mr. Wood, which is why he received this honor.

Currently, the strongest pirate crews on the high seas are the so-called "Four Emperors," and the strongest among them is the "Whitebeard Pirates," while the weakest is the "Red-Haired Pirates."

After all, Shanks is inferior to the other three captains of the "Four Emperors" pirate crews in terms of both age and seniority.

But how did the Red-Haired Pirates become one of the Four Emperors and quickly establish themselves?

Besides Shanks' own exceptional abilities, another reason is that Wood Arms Company has been consistently providing aid to the Red-Haired Pirates.

There are rumors on the high seas that Shanks once did a favor for the Navy traitor Wood, so whenever the Red-Haired Pirates encounter difficulties, Wood's Weapons Company will lend a helping hand.

If the Red-Haired Pirates were able to secure their position as one of the Four Emperors with the support of Wood Arms Company, wouldn't the other Four Emperors be able to completely dominate the seas if they received the same support?

This is why the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates have been vying for Wood.

The Kingdom of Worlds consists of 34 islands, most of which are named after delicacies. So when Wood and his companions entered the Kingdom of Worlds, they were quickly surrounded by the aroma of various sweets in the air.

For foodies, this place is definitely paradise, especially for those with a sweet tooth.

When Wood and his companions were brought to Whole Cake Island, they did not meet Big Mom immediately. Instead, Baron Egg and his men arranged accommodations for them and informed them of the time of the tea party before the two took their leave.

To keep Wood and Robin from getting too bored while they waited, Baron Egg suggested they take a stroll around the various islands of Whole Cake Island.

As the two were leaving, they handed Wood a briefcase, saying it was a token of their sincerity from the Big Mom Pirates.

After the two left, Wood opened the briefcase they had given him without any hesitation, only to find it filled with large denomination Baileys.

"If I had known that attending BIG MOM's tea party would come with this kind of treatment, I would have definitely come here every year to report on it."

The suitcase contained a considerable amount of Berries, though not a huge sum. A rough estimate puts it at least around 200 million Berries. Clearly, the Big Mom Pirates had provided it to them because they were worried that the crew wouldn't have enough cash to enjoy their time on the island.

Two hundred million Berries is indeed a small sum for the Big Mom Pirates and Wood's weapons company, but for some pirate crews, it might not even equal their entire fortune.

Just like the Straw Hat crew who just left Alabasta, now only Straw Hat Luffy and Pirate Hunter Zoro have bounties on their ship.

Luffy has a bounty of 120 million Berries, and Zoro has a bounty of 60 million Berries, which together amount to only 180 million Berries.

In other words, the Big Mom Pirates giving out this little bit of pocket money is equivalent to giving away more than one Luffy and one Zoro...

"Rumor has it that Big Mom's Treasure Kingdom is home to almost every race in the world, and now it seems to be true."

Walking along the main street of Whole Cake Island, Wood and Robin marveled at the various other races passing by.

People like the Mink Tribe and the Fish-Men were one thing, but the Long-Armed Tribe and even the Long-Necked Tribe were truly eye-opening for Wood.

The people living on Dark Isle are mainly fish-men, mermaids, and ordinary humans, and even so, Wood felt that he was quite remarkable.

After all, it is quite difficult for two races that are originally irreconcilable to live peacefully on an island in this vast ocean.

However, Big Mom's Kingdom truly opened Wood's eyes. Along the way, he discovered no fewer than ten different races, and they were all able to live there happily, even marrying and reproducing.

It has to be said that, in this respect alone, Big Mom is indeed quite impressive, even though she subdued these people on the island by force, she still managed to do it.

"As expected of the kingdom founded by Big Mom, almost half of the shops on the island sell all kinds of delicious food."

Robin, how about we split up? You're probably more interested in bookstores and similar shops, while I have a mission and want to gather some information.

After hesitating for a while, Robin finally agreed to Wood's suggestion. She had indeed found an interesting bookstore while she was browsing, but she did not go in because of Wood.

"Then we'll meet in this square this evening. Here's your pocket money."

Now that he had come to Whole Cake Island with Wood, it was clearly impossible for Wood to get rid of him.

So after agreeing to Wood's suggestion to split up, Robin pulled out a wad of Berries to serve as Wood's operating funds.

"No way, if I remember correctly, the box of Berries that Big Mom gave us before had at least 200 million Berries."

"Even if we don't split it 50/50, you should at least give me tens of millions of Berries. Giving me only 100,000 Berries is just too much!"
