Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Arne stroked his chin, recalling Charlotte Linlin as he had observed her through Corazon's eyes.

Charlotte Linlin seemed to sense a different kind of spiritual energy from Corazon and appeared quite infatuated with him, so Perospero wouldn't easily break ties with Corazon without Charlotte Linlin's instructions.

However, this inevitably made Yann think of Charlotte Linlin's "Soul-Soul Fruit".

In addition, this also makes it difficult for Yann to show himself in front of Charlotte Linlin.

After all, even Corazon's soul had captivated Charlotte Linlin to a considerable degree; if it were her, what would she do?

As Yann briefly imagined the crazy scenarios that might occur, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

Indeed... Corazon was right, we couldn't hold on any longer...

……

In a room decorated in a very girly, pink color scheme on an island called "Chocolate Island" in the World Ocean, a full-length mirror ripples like the surface of water where a pebble has been dropped.

The next moment, Charlotte Brûlée and Yern walked out from there.

"You are... Sister Brulee?"

A crisp sound rang out in the room. Yann turned his head and saw a little girl with brown hair who looked to be less than ten years old and whose height only reached his thigh. The girl was holding a black pistol and vaguely aiming it at him.

"Ah, Pudding, you're here."

As Charlotte Brûlée spoke, she moved closer to Charlotte Brûlée, when Charlotte Brûlée pointed her pistol at Charlotte Brûlée and asked warily on her young face.

"Sister Brulee, if I may ask, who is that man beside you? And why did he suddenly come here?"

"he……"

Charlotte Brûlée paused, clearly hesitant to reveal Arn's real name, and instead introduced him to the young Charlotte Brûlée.

"This gentleman needs to see you, so I'll show you the way."

[Chapter 609 To a Wider Sea]

"This gentleman needs to see you, so I'll show you the way."

???

Yone, Charlotte Brin.

Both Yone and Charlotte Brin were taken aback by these words, especially Yone, who inexplicably sensed something strange about them.

However, such a pseudonym is indeed necessary to avoid revealing one's identity.

Immediately, wearing a white mask, Yann put his left hand behind his back and made a gesture of courtesy across his chest with his right hand, and took the initiative to speak.

"Indeed, it was I who asked Miss Bryn to do this. It is an honor to meet you for the first time."

Charlotte Brin looked at Yone warily, then slowly uttered a single word.

"Pervert~"

"Huh?" Yann.

"what?!"

Unlike Arn's confusion, Charlotte Brûlée's voice was filled with terror.

The man beside her was a monster she absolutely could not afford to provoke.

If Charlotte Pudding is provoked, it's hard to imagine what terrible things might happen next.

Charlotte Brin, completely unaware of the situation, revealed a hint of mockery on her youthful face.

"Anyone who claims to be a gentleman but wears a mask to hide their face is definitely a pervert, and may even be an ugly and lewd pervert."

……

Yone, Charlotte Brûlée.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became completely tense.

The next moment, Charlotte Brûlée realized what was happening and quickly bowed to Yern, apologizing and explaining.

"Sir, please forgive Pudding's rudeness. Pudding's seemingly rude personality is due to her difficult childhood environment. In reality, she is a very kind and good child and had no intention of insulting you."

Yone's lips twitched slightly beneath the mask, then he waved to Charlotte Brûlée to indicate that he was alright, before his gaze toward Charlotte Brûlée became somewhat strange.

This kid... has such a sharp tongue...

Charlotte Brin, observing Charlotte Brûlée's attitude towards Yone, felt a growing sense of unease. Her hand, holding the Den Den Mushi behind her back, slowly reached for the button.

However, Charlotte Pudding only felt a blur before her eyes, and her wrist, which was holding the Den Den Mushi, landed in the palm of that gentleman.

"Being a little sharp-tongued is fine, but trying to do something malicious behind your back is not allowed."

As Yann spoke casually, he reached out and took the Den Den Mushi from Charlotte Brin's hand and tossed it onto the bed.

"You bastard, you pervert, let me go..."

As Charlotte Brin struggled, she secretly pulled the trigger of the pistol she had been aiming at Yann's head.

"boom!"

"Since they're disobedient, then we'll have to give them a small punishment..."

Yone tilted his head slightly, easily dodging the bullet, then simply hoisted young Charlotte Pudding onto his shoulder, letting her struggle and resist, before speaking to Charlotte Pudding.

"Let's go."

"Uh~"

Charlotte Brûlée glanced apologetically at Charlotte Brûlée, then opened the passage to the Mirror World again at the full-length mirror, leading Arn into the Mirror World.

……

"Pervert, put me down right now..."

"Ah! Ah! Ah!!! Help me!"

"It hurts, it really hurts! You're pressing against my stomach, please put me down..."

In the Mirror World, Charlotte Brin, who was being carried on his shoulder, continued to struggle and shout. Arne, whose ears were ringing from the noise, simply put her down.

In any case, within the Mirror World, Arn was not worried at all that Charlotte Pudding's resistance would attract the attention of others.

Charlotte Brin, who landed awkwardly, stumbled backward, her hands gripping the pistol tightly, trembling as she pointed it at Yern and said...

"What exactly do you want? If you hurt me, Mom will never let you get away with it."

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you..."

As Yann squatted down in front of Charlotte Pudding, he took out a cute and exquisitely shaped pudding from Little Gold's castle and handed it to Charlotte Pudding, saying...

"Here, have some pudding to calm your nerves."

Despite this, the youthful-looking Charlotte Brin stared warily at Yarne, and instinctively wanted to tighten her grip on the pistol.

however……

Suddenly, Charlotte Brin felt her hand go empty; the pistol had instantly fallen into Yone's hand.

"You're so young, don't play with such dangerous things..."

As he spoke, Yann shoved the pudding into Charlotte Pudding's hands.

After losing her last resort, Charlotte Pudding's expression froze for a moment, then her demeanor suddenly changed, her eyes filled with tears, on the verge of sobbing, making her look somewhat aggrieved and pitiful.

"Please...don't hurt me, you can make me do whatever you want..."

Charlotte Brin choked out, her large, glistening eyes fixed on Yern, tears streaming down her face as she held the pudding in her hands, looking like a frightened little rabbit.

Seeing this, Charlotte Brûlée sighed and spoke up.

“Breen, stop playing along with those unnecessary thoughts. This gentleman can’t be fooled by such petty tricks. Just cooperate with him.”

Hearing Charlotte Brûlée's words, Yern, who had been reflecting on whether he had been too rough with a girl of about ten years old, was taken aback. He turned his gaze and noticed that Charlotte Brûlée's eyes were still filled with tears, but her expression was ugly and gloomy, as if her true colors had been exposed.

'I almost got tricked by a little girl...'

Ya'en couldn't help but mutter a complaint to himself, completely surprised that a girl of only ten years old could have such shrewdness and acting skills.

"Sister Brin, are you colluding with outsiders and betraying Mother?" Charlotte Brin questioned.

"I……"

As Charlotte Brûlée was about to speak, she recalled the horror of Charlotte Linlin and instinctively dared not admit it.

After all, the consequences of betraying Charlotte Linlin are often not just death; one's soul may be manipulated at will and then turned into a special Homie.

That would be... a lifetime of torment.

Yann placed his hand on Charlotte Pudding's head, looked into her eyes, and asked.

"Breen, so do you want to betray Charlotte Linlin?"

After a pause, Yann met Charlotte Brin's stiff expression and continued.

"If you'd like, I can take you away from the Ocean of Nations. I'll take you to a wider sea, to a world where Charlotte Linlin doesn't exist, so you can see new things you've never heard of before and make different friends..."

[Chapter 610. The Perverted Gentleman]

"To the wider sea?!"

Charlotte Brin's eyes widened, almost instinctively revealing a look of interest.

At this moment, Charlotte Pudding subconsciously thought of her older sister, Charlotte Lola, who had recently secretly escaped the World of Warcraft, freeing herself from the fate of being used by Charlotte Linlin as a tool for a marriage alliance with the giants, and heading to the outer sea to pursue her own happiness.

She was the only sister who didn't despise Charlotte Pudding during her humiliating childhood and protected her.

It was only after Charlotte Lola, who was serving as the "Minister of Chocolate," fled the World of Warcraft that Charlotte Pudding, who was not yet ten years old, moved to Chocolate Island and became a candidate for "Minister of Chocolate."

The reason is that Charlotte Pudding admires and reveres Charlotte Lola's belief in bravely pursuing her own happiness.

"You...you're serious? You can take me away from the Sea of ​​Ten Thousand Nations?"

Charlotte Brin asked, her voice trembling slightly, her tone containing a hint of timid anticipation and excitement that she dared not reveal.

Unlike Charlotte Katakuri, who steadfastly protects her siblings, Charlotte Pudding doesn't feel much of a sense of belonging to the Charlotte family.

Because of her unique and rare physical characteristics, Charlotte Pudding suffered immense bullying and ridicule from her siblings during her childhood. The shadows from her childhood even led Charlotte Pudding to gradually develop a tendency towards personality splitting...

"Sure!"

"If you're willing, I'll take you away from the Ocean of Ten Thousand Kingdoms right away," Yaen replied in a tone that sounded like he was coaxing a child.
