Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

"Then let's use 'the beginning of the collapse of the fairy tale' as the code. At that time, it will also be the beginning of my plan to completely eliminate this sea emperor who is entrenched in the New World Seas."

[Chapter 612. The Three-Eyed Clan]

A moment later, in a special house made of mochi in the Mirror World, Charlotte Katakuri, who was lying inside, suddenly opened her eyes, looked around warily, and then began to recall.

After Charlotte Linlin's "food craving" episode ended and she went berserk, while her other siblings were busy dealing with the ruins of Cake Island, she secretly ran off to Brûlée's Mirror World for her regular afternoon tea time.

"Honestly, I actually fell asleep during my afternoon tea break..."

Charlotte Katakuri, who always appeared cold, wore a relaxed smile that she only showed during afternoon tea. However, upon closer reflection, she felt that some memories seemed... rather vague.

Just as Charlotte Katakuri's brows furrowed unconsciously, her gaze shifted to the furnishings and layout of the surrounding mochi house, and she finally relaxed completely.

No problem...

This glutinous rice ball house was made from my own special "glutinous rice fruit", and the layout of the house is all according to my own unique habits.

"Are you too busy? Or is it a lingering effect of your battle with your mother...?"

Charlotte Katakuri patted her head, checked the time, and continued to enjoy her leisurely afternoon tea alone.

……

Meanwhile, above the clouds at the edge of the World Kingdoms, Arne and Charlotte Brin were looking back at the World Kingdoms from afar.

"What's wrong? Are you a little reluctant to part with her, Brin?" Yann asked gently.

"No, I don't want to stay in a place like this at all..."

Charlotte Brin shook her head, speaking with absolute certainty.

"It looks like a fairy tale on the surface, but it's actually a cruel and heartless place. How could I possibly stay? It's just... if Sister Lola can't find me when she returns to the World of Warcraft, she might be very sad."

"Charlotte Laura, right?"

As he asked the question, Yann took a document that Little Gold had spat out of the castle and handed it to Charlotte Brin.

"This is?"

Charlotte Pudding instinctively took the document and began to look through it, her eyes gradually filled with unusual surprise. Among the documents was information about Charlotte Lola's whereabouts.

For a moment, young Charlotte Brin screamed with joy.

"Ahhh~~~ You're amazing at finding Lola's whereabouts, you perverted gentleman, I love you to death..."

……

Ya'en.

Upon hearing this, Yann subconsciously turned his head to look left and right, afraid that his words, which could easily cause misunderstandings, would be overheard by others.

Immediately, Yann gave Xiao Jin a warning look.

Meanwhile, Little Gold seemed completely oblivious to the conversation between Yone and Charlotte Brin, perched on Yone's shoulder, turning his head from side to side, and simply whistling his unique tune.

Even after a short while, Charlotte Pudding, who had been feeling somewhat hesitant and apprehensive after leaving the World of Warcraft with Arn, was still overjoyed. She tightly gripped the intelligence in her hand and looked at Arn with bright eyes.

"Thank you, you perverted gentleman."

A hint of helplessness appeared on Yann's face as he removed the mask from his face and said.

"Purein, you already knew my name when you were altering Katakuri and Brulee's memories, couldn't you have changed how you addressed me?"

A cold wind blew across the sky, lifting Charlotte Brin's bangs to reveal the peculiar eye on her forehead.

Charlotte Brin's three eyes, however, curved into crescent shapes as she sweetly replied.

"Yes, perverted gentleman."

"Tsk..."

Yaen shook his head helplessly, too lazy to argue with Pudding over such a trivial matter, and then said...

“I learned from Brûlée that you are close to Charlotte Lola, who secretly ran away from her arranged marriage and left the Whole Cake Island. So I had someone look for Lola’s whereabouts. After you leave the Whole Cake Island, I will arrange for you to meet Lola in the first half of the Grand Line.”

"Thank you, you perverted gentleman..."

After calming the somewhat uneasy and hesitant Charlotte Brin, Yann's gaze fell on the distant, visible waters of the World Kingdoms, and he thought to himself.

"'Big Mom Pirates,' the next time I arrive here, Charlotte Linlin's dark and ridiculous fairy tales will have come to a complete end..."

The next moment, Arn and Charlotte Pudding vanished completely from the sky above the edge of the Ocean of Nations.

……

At this moment, thick, dark clouds shrouded the still dilapidated Whole Cake Island, and all the humans and Homies on the island looked trembling with fear.

"Rumble..."

A deafening thunderclap echoed over Whole Cake Island, causing everyone facing Charlotte Linlin to flinch and instinctively lower their heads, unable to look directly at the "Empress of the Sea," Charlotte Linlin.

"Perospero, where is my husband, Rosinandi? Where are the treasures in my treasure room? And where is that piece of red historical inscription?!"

Charlotte Linlin, her eyes bloodshot, was bursting with an almost visible, boundless rage as she questioned her eldest son. Her terrifying appearance seemed as if she could devour Perospero at any moment.

Perospero's heart skipped a beat. Even though he had experienced Charlotte Linlin's anger countless times in his life, this time... it was the most terrifying!

If you're not careful, your mother's anger might just kill you.

"Mom, this is a summary of information regarding this whole mess..."

As he spoke, Perospero carefully handed a document to Charlotte Linlin.

Charlotte Linlin snatched the document from Perospero's hand and began flipping through it page by page. Finally, she slammed her hand on the ground in anger, causing the entire hall to shake violently.

"Pureen has disappeared too?"

“Yes, Mom, this is what the mayor of Chocolate Town just reported. It should be related to the loss of the red historical texts to some extent,” Perospero replied.

Heavy breaths emanated from Charlotte Linlin's nostrils, her eyes filled with an almost uncontrollable rage.

Charlotte Linlin naturally wouldn't care too much about having just one daughter.

However, Charlotte Pudding is different. She is a three-eyed hybrid born after Charlotte Linlin went through a lot of trouble. Once Charlotte Pudding, as a three-eyed person, truly opens her eyes, she will have the ability to read the ancient texts on the Poneglyphs.

Now, with the Red Poneglyphs stolen and even Charlotte Pudding, who possesses the ability to read them, missing, Charlotte Linlin's hopes of finding the "Final Island," Laugh Tale, have been completely dashed.

[Chapter 613. The Most Perfect Spy Chief]

An aura of terror and dread emanated from Charlotte Linlin, causing everyone to instinctively avoid looking directly in her direction, as if they were lambs facing a queen of souls.

"Katakuri! Brulee!"

Suddenly, Charlotte Linlin shouted out those two names, causing Charlotte Brûlée in the hall to tremble involuntarily, and even Charlotte Katakuri's eyes trembled violently.

For the members of the Charlotte family, Charlotte Linlin's fear, accumulated over decades, had become almost ingrained in their very bones.

"What you're saying—is it a lie?! Or is it the truth?!"

At that moment, Charlotte Linlin's voice, which seemed to be a soul-searching interrogation, rang in the ears of Charlotte Katakuri and Charlotte Brûlée. Especially in Brûlée's eyes, Charlotte Linlin's terrifying image seemed to transform into a shadow of fear that enveloped all her vision.

"Snapped……"

Charlotte Brûlée instinctively knelt down, her eyes blank as she murmured, "Mother... I... I really didn't lie, I've been watching Don Quixote Rosinante..."

Charlotte Katakuri, managing to maintain a composed expression, then answered.

"I'm sorry, Mom. I tried my best to stop the enemies from invading the treasure room, but those guys were too strong, and I also needed to stay on Whole Cake Island to prevent it from collapsing."

Charlotte Linlin's large eyes darted around, then she stared intently at Charlotte Katakuri, asking each word slowly and deliberately, "What are those guys' abilities?"

Charlotte Katakuri briefly recalled the events and then answered without hesitation...

Of course, even Charlotte Katakuri herself didn't know that this part of her ability originated from information about the abilities of some CP0 members in Yann's memories.

"World Government!!!"

At this point, Charlotte Linlin's last remaining shred of reason and doubt was completely consumed by anger, and her sharp commands echoed throughout Whole Cake Island.

"Immediately conduct a thorough search of the area surrounding the World Government's waters, eliminate all hidden outposts linked to the World Government and its navy, and from now on, sink and destroy any ships found connected to the World Government!!!"

"Pureen is missing, and everyone on Chocolate Island has had fifty years of their lifespan taken away!"

"And also, contact Corazon right now and tell that bastard to come back and marry me immediately!!!"

……

"Go back? There's no way I'll ever go back in this lifetime..."

In the captain's cabin of a pirate ship bearing the insignia of the "Don Quixote Pirates," Corazon looked at the Charlotte family's communication documents with a disdainful smile on his face.

"I really don't believe you'll chase me all the way to Wano Country. Even if you do, do you think I'd be afraid of you?"

After a pause, Corazon recalled Charlotte Linlin's rampage and his hand trembled inexplicably before speaking to Yann, who was sitting on the sofa in the captain's cabin.

"Right, Yann?"

As Yann sipped his tea, he made a joking remark.

"Corazon, maybe Charlotte Linlin is truly in love with you. She didn't rush to find the lost Red History Text, but instead wants to marry you. Why don't you just go along with it?"

Corazon rolled his eyes at Yann and retorted, "Why didn't you just give in to Charlotte Pudding? Instead, you hurriedly handed her over to the organization and sent her to the first half of the Grand Line."

Upon hearing this, Ya'en's lips twitched slightly before he replied, "I was afraid Ying would make a scene if she found out, so..."

"You really think I don't know you're worried that Charlotte Pudding secretly found a chance to alter your memories? To make you believe that you and Charlotte Pudding already have..."

"Cough cough cough..."

Before Corazon could finish speaking, Yann couldn't help but cough repeatedly, glaring at Corazon fiercely and warning him.

"Do you believe I can get Pudding to create a perfect memory of your married life with Charlotte Linlin?"

Immediately, Corazon fell silent and quietly lowered his head to sip his tea.

It must be said that Charlotte Pudding's "Memory Fruit" ability is even more terrifying than "Zanpakuto: Mirror Flower Water Moon".

"Zanpakuto: Mirror Flower Water Moon" merely manipulates the enemy's five senses to create illusions, but it cannot change existing memories and beliefs. This is one of the limitations of using "Zanpakuto: Mirror Flower Water Moon", which forces Aon to use the release process of "Zanpakuto: Mirror Flower Water Moon" in a roundabout way.

Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives discovers the power of "Soul-Slaying Blade: Mirror Flower Water Moon," they will easily understand the hypnotic conditions of "Soul-Slaying Blade: Mirror Flower Water Moon," leading to Aon's exposure.

The conditions for the "Memory Fruit" ability to take effect are even more stringent; one must personally touch another person's head to extract and modify their memories.

"It's a pity that Pudding is too young; her worldview, values, and so on are not yet fully formed. Otherwise, she would be the most perfect spy chief in the world, directly modifying her subordinates' memories before sending them to infiltrate..."

After a moment of thought, Yann said with a touch of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of deep emotion or reflection).

"However, we can start training Brin now. She may be the most suitable candidate for the organization's future head of intelligence."
