After retiring from the Navy, I became a doting husband.

"Dad, I see it! The Queen Mother Anthem of the Big Mom Pirates!" Marco flew down and said to Whitebeard, who was sitting in his seat.

"Have we finally arrived?"

Whitebeard put down his wine glass and stood up.

Queen Mother Hymn

"Mommy, Mommy, stop, stop! This is the Queen Mother Hymn! If you don't stop, the ship will be destroyed!"

Katakuri yelled at the crazed Charlotte Linlin.

"Strawberry cake, strawberry cake, I want strawberry cake!" Charlotte Linlin shouted as she walked.

"Oh!"

Charlotte Linlin broke off a piece of the ship's plank and started eating it in big bites.

"It's not strawberry cake, it's not strawberry cake, I want strawberry cake."

"Did Gala answer the phone? Why haven't the strawberries arrived yet?" Katakuri could only ask again.

The soldier shook his head and said, "Galadarao's phone has been unanswered; we can't get in touch with him anymore."

"Lord Katakuri, Lord Katakuri, something terrible has happened! I've spotted the Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick! The Whitebeard Pirates are here!"

At that moment, a soldier on the watchtower called out to Katakuri below.

"What? The Whitebeard Pirates are here? What are we going to do?"

Katakuri screamed in surprise upon hearing Whitebeard's voice. His mother's food cravings had just flared up and hadn't subsided yet; what was he going to do now that Whitebeard was here again?

"Mom, Mom, something terrible has happened! The Whitebeard Pirates are here!" Katakuri cried out helplessly to Charlotte Linlin.

"Whitebeard, Whitebeard, did Whitebeard steal my strawberry cake? Whitebeard, give me back my strawberry cake!"

Charlotte Linlin heard Katakuri's cry and shouted loudly at the sky.

"Strawberry cake, huh! Only women eat cake, men should drink good wine, hahaha." Whitebeard said to the Queen Mother's Hymn.

"Whitebeard, Whitebeard, give me back my cake!" Charlotte Linlin shouted and jumped up.

"Dad, this is bad! That crazy woman Charlotte Linlin is coming!" Marco shouted.

"Alright, Marco, what's there to worry about? Dad's here, guralara!"

Whitebeard clenched his fist and threw a punch at Charlotte Linlin, who was flying towards him.

"Oh!"

The air vibrated as if it were cracking open, and a visible stream of air rushed toward Charlotte Linlin.

"Cake, cake!"

Charlotte Linlin shouted as she took her hat off her head. The hat turned into a sword, which Charlotte Linlin then slashed down.

"Oh!"

Charlotte Linlin's sword seemed to have struck something, producing a loud bang, and then it seemed as if something had been cleaved open.

Although Charlotte Linlin suffered from food cravings, she still retained her combat experience, and many of her fighting methods had become instinctive.

"Whitebeard, give me back my strawberry cake!"

Charlotte Linlin emitted a strange sound, so loud it almost shook Marco and the others' eardrums. Some of the weaker crew members even lost their ability to move. Some of the Moby Dick's templates emitted intermittent noises.

"You crazy woman, what do you want to do to my sons?" Whitebeard shouted at Charlotte Linlin.

The two screams met in the air, producing a violent collision sound. Then a hurricane shot out from the middle and rushed into the distance, leaving a long trail on the sea.

The sea surface thus became turbulent, with waves rolling.

"boom!"

Charlotte Linlin, with her obese body, finally jumped onto the Moby Dick. The enormous impact nearly capsized Whitebeard's flagship. Fortunately, Whitebeard himself was very tall, so the Moby Dick was built to be extremely large. If it were a smaller ship, it would probably have been destroyed in that instant.

Katakuri breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Charlotte Linlin jump onto Whitebeard's Moby Dick. He was worried that his mother would be knocked into the water by Whitebeard, which would be troublesome, since his mother was a Devil Fruit user.

"Whitebeard, give me back my strawberry cake!" Charlotte Linlin shouted as she charged toward Whitebeard.

Chapter 210 Whitebeard: Linlin's Gone Mad

"Get out of here, you crazy woman."

Whitebeard casually swung his weapon at Charlotte Linlin.

However, to Whitebeard's surprise, his casual attack did not repel Charlotte Linlin; instead, he was grabbed and held in a hug.

Charlotte Linlin hugged Whitebeard and took a bite out of him, treating him like a giant cake.

"Shaking Fist!"

Whitebeard punched Charlotte Linlin in the stomach. Charlotte Linlin, who was in a state of food craving, had no chance to resist and was sent flying by Whitebeard's punch.

Charlotte Linlin flew towards the Queen Mother Anthem faster than she could have rushed towards the Moby Dick.

The power of this shockwave was extraordinary, shattering the entire sea surface.

"boom!"

Charlotte Linlin fell into the sea just before reaching the Queen Mother Anthem. Once in the sea, Charlotte Linlin instantly regained consciousness and recovered from her food cravings.

"Praline, hurry and save Mom!" Katakuri needed to be prepared and send his sister, who had fish-man blood, to rescue her.

"It's Katakuri!" Praline jumped into the water and rescued Charlotte Linlin.

"White beard."

Charlotte Linlin screamed that she was going to take revenge.

"Mom, let's go back to Whole Cake Island first. Smoothie called a while ago and said that Whole Cake Island was attacked by an unknown enemy."

Katakuri stood in front of Charlotte Linlin.

Charlotte Linlin thought for a moment, then shouted, "Back to Whole Cake Island!"

"Captain, everything is packed!" several sailors reported.

Martin glanced around and, sure enough, the entire warehouse had been emptied, with nothing left behind.

“Hey, how can you take everything away? You have to leave some for Charlotte Linlin.”

Upon hearing Martin's words, everyone understood and selected a sword from his mother's collection, throwing it down. The sword stuck straight into the middle of the warehouse.

“Let’s go, we have other things to do,” Martin said, and walked outside.

As Martin reached the door, he suddenly remembered something, quickly walked back to the middle of the warehouse, and drew his sword.

Smoothie watched Martin's actions. Had he changed his mind? He wasn't going to leave his mother anything. How infuriating!

Martin started scribbling on the ground. Smoothie went closer and saw that it was writing: "Martin was here!"

"clang!

Martin planted the sword back in the middle of the warehouse. Whether Charlotte Linlin would use the sword to commit suicide was no longer his concern.

“My lady, you’ve come out. What are we going to do with these people?” As soon as Smoothie came out, her men surrounded Martin, trapping him in the center.

"You actually dare to make things difficult for my husband? You can all just die!"

Smoothie drew her longsword and swept it at her men, sending a thick sword aura rushing towards the group.

"No, no, Lord Smoothie, spare me!"

Smoothie's men, not knowing why their commander had suddenly gone berserk, scattered and fled in all directions, shouting.

"Puff puff!"

Although Smoothie's men fled quickly, they were not as fast as the sword energy and were struck by it.

Martin looked at the cold and ruthless Smoothie and thought to himself that women really cannot be understood by common sense. They can turn on you in an instant. Fortunately, the sword energy was not aimed at him.

"Hey, have you found the library yet?"

Martin took out a Den Den Mushi and made the call.

"We don't have a captain yet. This castle is too big. I'm looking for one," the sailor opposite said helplessly.

"Okay, you contact the others and we'll all meet at the entrance. I'll go to the library."

Upon hearing Martin's words, everyone began to assemble.

“This way,” Smoothie had completely become a guide, leading Martin to the library.

Having someone to lead the way makes all the difference. Smoothie led Martin through many twists and turns before finally arriving at the library.

The library doors were locked, and most of the Big Mom Pirates had gone out. No one had come to the library to read books during this time. In fact, there weren't many real books in the library; most of them were gadgets that Mont-d'Or had created using his Devil Fruit powers.

"Oh!"

Martin kicked open the library door, and the sight of the densely packed books made his scalp tingle. How long would it take him to find all those books?

Just as Martin was worrying about finding the people from Insect Island, a group of pirates had already begun their operation.

Martin slapped his forehead and said, "I'm so stupid, why did I think so much? Wouldn't it be better to have everything?"

Smoothie was used to this scene, and she had no interest in the books.

Just then, Smoothie heard her Den Den Mushi ring. She frowned, unsure whether she should answer the call.

"Smoothie, this is Katakuri. How is the situation on Whole Cake Island? We are already on our way back to Whole Cake Island."

"Katakuri-nii, you're back so soon! Is Mom's food craving better?"

Smoothie was startled; she hadn't expected her mother and the others to be back.

"Yes, we owe it all to Whitebeard this time. Otherwise, Mom's food cravings wouldn't have gotten better so quickly, and we wouldn't know what to do," Katakuri nodded.

"Whitebeard, what does Katakuri have to do with Whitebeard?"

Smoothie was somewhat confused.

"I don't have much left for Smoothie. I'll talk to you when we get back. You must hold on until we get back. Whole Cake Island is our base."

"Okay, Katakuri-nii-san, when are you coming back?"

"Smoothie, we'll be there in three days. You have to hold on. If things get really bad, protect the treasure vault," Katakuri said after a moment's thought.
