The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

Apart from the two lads that Vice Admiral Garp brought back, there are basically no good prospects to be seen.

Even Professor Zephyr's right arm was severed by the opponent.

Such deep-seated hatred, instead of being investigated and punished, they even invited the other party to become a Shichibukai?!

At this moment, Aokiji also realized that his decision to leave the Navy was absolutely the right one.

Otherwise, even if he hadn't quit last time, he definitely wouldn't have been able to tolerate this situation.

"Navy, World Government..."

Aokiji shook his head again.

He folded the newspaper in his hand, intending to put it away and ignore it.

He is no longer a figure of any organization or power.

Naturally, he no longer needed to care about such matters.

All Aokiji wants to do now is to take a good rest for a while.

Take this spontaneous trip and see the world from a different perspective once again.

The thought that popped into his mind always made him think of a certain group of people.

And when he opened his backpack to put the newspaper away...

But in the corner of his backpack, he found the previous issue of the Dressrosa newspaper, still intact, lying there.

"The Straw Hat Pirates...?"

Aokiji stared at the photo in the newspaper and fell into deep thought.

~~~~~~~~~

The journey from Zou Island to Totto Land takes several days by the Sunny.

However, the Singing Queen has a familiarity with the route, and Pokoms can guide the way.

Link and his group arrived at the sea area near Charlotte's family in less than three days.

The group heard from Pokoms that Totto Land was an extremely powerful nation.

As Queen Charlotte Linlin wields supreme power in Tottoland.

This sea area is centered around Cake Island, with thirty-four islands scattered around it, each governed by one of the thirty-four ministers.

However, these ministers either abandoned their families like Lola and fled this sea area.

Or they're like Cracker and Smoothie, who, even though they have their own outlying Cookie Island and Juice Island, still reside on the main island, Cake Island.

In addition, this sea area belongs to one of the Four Emperors, the most powerful family in the world of the sea.

Basically, apart from stubborn pirates, there won't be any foolish pirates coming to attack, so the external guard is not as tight as one might imagine.

"So there are basically no guards?"

Zoro gazed into the distance; the sea was calm and still, without any movement.

"No, that's not it, gaoo~"

Pokoms explained, "In all the deep seas, there are mother slug homies."

"These are the first layer of security forces of the world. They will report any other ships entering this sea area to the personnel on duty."

"Does that mean we're already exposed?"

Usopp was slightly surprised.

"No, the Singing Queen is Mom's vehicle, so the sea slug would avoid it immediately. After all, monitoring Mom's vehicle is a serious taboo..."

Pokhomus, with his tongue lolling out, continued:

"Besides the sea slugs, the next most important vessels are the scout ships [Tartes], which are stationed on or near the coast of the Kingdom of Tottoland and are on high alert at all times."

They are warships shaped like candy pies, hence their name, and they make up the majority of the nation's fleet.

Any unauthorized ships will be shot down. When summoned, scout ships can leave their designated posts and participate in battle under the command of the BIG MOM Pirates.

"These two lines of defense constitute the outer defense of Whole Cake Island, capable of stopping most pirates, Gaaah."

"But~"

Luo then raised a question at the opportune moment, "What if there were enemies like us, who infiltrated by hijacking the Singing Queen?"

"Gawoo, every ship of the Singing Queen carries either powerful combat team members or famous ministers of the family, and the strength of each person has been proven."

"If they hijacked the Singing Queen, it means the enemy is extremely fierce, and even the outer defenses are simply unable to withstand them, so they won't be of much use."

Pokemus answered truthfully.

After he finished speaking, the outlines of many islands faintly appeared in the sea in front of them.

They have arrived in Totto Land, the land of countless nations.

Chapter 483 Arrival at Whole Cake Island! First Encounter with Charlotte Linlin!! Facing the Most Powerful Family on the High Seas!!

The original story follows Luffy and his crew's route from their arrival in Whole Cake Island to their arrival at Whole Cake Island, where Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors, resides.

The first stop is Cocoa Island, a chocolate-themed island that was supposed to be managed by the Chocolate Minister, Laura.

However, because of her escape, this place is currently under the care of Brin, the manager of the coffee shop "Kalamel" and a candidate for Chocolate Minister.

She is also Sanji's political marriage partner this time. In the original story, Luffy, Nami, Chopper, and Brook all met her on this island.

Pudding is skilled at acting and imitation. Through her performances, she makes Luffy, Sanji, and others believe that she is a kind and benevolent girl, and successfully attracts Sanji's attention.

In fact, Brin's evil side enjoys mocking and insulting her enemies, but only in secret.

She is not evil by nature, but her experience of being bullied since childhood has forced Pudding to pretend to be "strong" and avoid getting hurt by bullying others.

In reality, Pudding was also very insecure. The third eye on her forehead, representing the three-eyed race, made her believe that she was nothing more than an ugly monster.

She would feel anxious because she was worried about not gaining her mother's trust, and she would try her best to be a capable daughter in front of Charlotte Linlin.

Therefore, after learning their true purpose from Luffy and the others, they deceived Luffy and made a promise with them:

The following afternoon, on the southwest coast of Whole Cake Island, they brought Sanji to meet with them.

So, having believed her, Luffy and his crew set off from Cocoa Island.

They passed through Jam Island, Cheese Island, Cookie Island, Nut Island, and Candy Island, finally arriving at the southwest coast of Cake Island, in the Temptation Forest where traps had already been set.

Thanks to Pudding's tip-off and the sea slug's reaction, Luffy and his crew passed through these islands without any hindrance.

In the Temptation Forest, a place teeming with traps, many skilled individuals lie in ambush.

For example, among the Homies, besides Zeus, Prometheus, and Napoleon, who are the strongest under Charlotte Linlin's command, the most powerful are Randolph the Crane Knight, Crocodile the Noble, and King Bam the Temptation Forest Lord, etc.

In addition, there's Charlotte Brûlée, the user of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, who possesses the ability to create spatial illusions and can generate mirror-reversed worlds and clones.

And Charlotte Cracker, one of the Sweet Commanders, the Cookie Minister with a bounty of 860 million Berries, who can create cookie soldiers, one person for an entire army.

It can be said that in the original version, Charlotte Linlin may have been strategically dismissive of her opponents, but tactically she took them very seriously.

Having assembled such a formidable lineup to confront Luffy, and having even set a trap beforehand, is more than enough.

But what can you do when Luffy is the protagonist?

Not only did Nami obtain Charlotte Linlin's Vivre Card from Lola, but it also deterred King Bam and the other Homies from making any rash moves.

The careless Brulee was also defeated by Chopper and Carrot in the Mirror World.

Cracker was a biscuit soldier he created, but Nami softened the biscuit soldier by releasing rainwater, which gave Luffy the opportunity to take advantage of him.

It can only be said that man proposes, God disposes.

However, unlike the original story where Luffy was looking for Sanji, Link and the others had a very clear purpose: they only had two objectives here.

The first thing to do is to find the Germa family and have a proper talk with them.

Let's see if we can persuade the other party to understand some principles.

If that's not possible, then they can only eliminate the danger and threat at the source.

The second is to have a good spar with Charlotte Linlin and, incidentally, obtain the Road Poneglyph from her.

This time, with Link and his companions making advance preparations, and their forces being even stronger than in the original version, they were able to overcome the odds.

With a clear goal and ample preparation, it was only natural to head straight for Whole Cake Island.

It has the Singing Queen, and Pokemus is covering it up.

The group quickly traversed the islands and arrived at Cake Island.

To be precise, it's the pier at Whole Cake Island.

Before arriving at the port of Whole Cake Island, in order to avoid being exposed for the time being, Link and his group knocked out all the chess pawns' Homies.

Then they removed the chess-shaped armor from their bodies and put it on themselves.

Zoro, who always seems to get lost, and Brook, who is too conspicuous and attracts too much attention, are left on the ship to guard Baron Tamago.

The others followed Pokomos, and amidst the greetings from people along the way, they walked straight into the giant cake castle without looking to the side.

It was a huge cake shaped like multiple layers, and the decorations on it were exactly the same as the pink dress Charlotte Linlin was wearing.

Inside the Cake Castle, there are singing Homies.

·· ·····Requesting flowers· ······

Carpets, pillars, walls, pictures...

Everything here seems to be full of vibrant life and a fairytale atmosphere.

But in reality, this is nothing more than superficial prosperity based on harsh realities.

According to the law, all citizens of Totland must pay one month's life every six months as a fee for Charlotte Linlin's protection, or they must leave.

However, Brynne and Praline claimed that Charlotte Linlin would never allow anyone to leave Tottoland, and anyone who tried to leave would be sentenced to death.

In other words, once you live here, it's equivalent to living here for the rest of your life, and paying the price with your life!

The citizens' one month of life became the foundation for Charlotte Linlin's creation of this massive number of Homies.

........ ........ 0

Each Homie represents the lifespan of a citizen here.

Pokomos kept explaining to Link and the others in a low voice as they walked to the entrance of the Cake Palace.

dong dong dong.

The dull knocking echoed within the room.

Then, with a creaking sound, the door slowly opened, revealing the scene inside.

The first sound to emerge was his signature, infectious laughter:

"Oh my gosh! Let me see, which of my good children or capable assistants has returned this time?"

The first thing that caught everyone's eye was the bloated woman sitting on the queen's chair, who was eight meters and eighty centimeters tall and could be described as the most outstanding figure among known humans.

She had long, wavy pink hair, wore heavy lipstick and light purple eyeshadow, a pirate hat, and a large, pink dress.

The gaping maw opened wide, a wide smile welcoming Pokemus as he walked in.

The world's strongest woman, one of the Four Emperors, head of the Charlotte Family, Queen of Totto Land, with a bounty of 4.388 billion Berries, is none other than [BIG MOM] Charlotte Linlin!

Besides her, there were several other figures in the room.

Link and his crew have finally arrived here, to face the strongest family on the sea, the true power of a Yonko-level pirate crew!

[Today's fourth update is here! Thank you again and again to the generous donor 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch' for the incredible generosity!! Thank you 'Bingbing' for the 1000-point donation!! Thank you 'Chaos灬City Lord' for the 1000-point donation!! Thank you everyone!!!]

484. Becky, enduring humiliation and hardship! Caesar, fawning and flattering! This looks so much like a prop!

The Charlotte Family, with Charlotte Linlin as its patriarch, has built the strongest family on the seas.

The main reason for Charlotte Linlin's great reputation is herself.

At this moment, inside this cake palace, Charlotte Linlin sat regally in the main seat.

Just sitting there, he exuded immense power, making people involuntarily feel intimidated.

"Is this... the power of a Yonko?!"
