Charlotte Linlin still attaches great importance to Katakuri's opinion
After all, in this family, Charlotte Linlin know Katakuri is the strongest of her children
"Mom!! Actually, if the Straw Hat Pirates just want to copy the content of the three Poneglyphs, it's okay to give them! Besides, Straw Hat Luffy also mentioned that he is not only willing to pay 100 million Belly, but also He will share the content of these three Poneglyphs with us, which can be said to be full of sincerity!!"
Seeing that Charlotte Linlin was still hesitating, Katakuri continued to explain.
He is the smartest of the entire Charlotte family, and a hero in the eyes of all younger brothers and sisters!!!
His status in the eyes of his family brothers and sisters is even higher than that of his elder brother Perospero
To be able to have such a lofty popularity in the family is not only due to Katakuri's strength, but more importantly, he can think calmly.
Taking the matter in front of him as an example, Katakuri would not think that agreeing to the conditions of the Straw Hat Pirates is to give in to the Straw Hat Pirates, on the contrary, he thinks that the Straw Hat Pirates also gave enough face to Charlotte Linlin already...
If they don't appreciate it, then the consequences may be wars!!
When the time comes...., brothers and sisters, he don't know how many people will die
Charlotte Brulee also immediately echoed: "Yes, Mom!! the straw hat Luffy is very sensible, and he speaks nicely, and the conditions he offered are really sincere"
After thinking for a while, Charlotte Linlin dialed the den den mushi again, and said: "Straw hat boy, I agree to your conditions!! Your style of doing things really It's different from the Four Emperor! Since you're so sincere, I can't let others say I'm stingy"
"We will hold a banquet at Cake Island tonight, and I will entertain you with the highest standard tea session!!"
After all, it is Four Emperors, Charlotte Linlin still cares fame
Especially with a force like the Straw Hat Pirates, if she can make friends, it's better than turning against each other...!!
Monkey D. Luffy: "Hey? The treatment they receive over there is completely different from that of us here..."
Kid·Eustass: "Haha!! This world will always bow to strength!!"
Capone Bege: "When your strength is strong enough to make the Four Emperors afraid, even the unreasonable Four Emperors will be reasonable in front of you"
Gion: "It's a very real scene.....!! I don't doubt the rationality of the situation in the red border video at all...!!"
"Ahaha!! Big Mom, it's great to hear you say that!!"
Received a reply from Charlotte Linlin, Luffy is in a good mood
This result is good for both parties
"Miste Luffy, I will let my ship lead the way. Your ship can reach Whole Cake Island as long as you follow my ship"
"As for me, I will explain to you the scenery along the way, as well as the characteristics of our various islands"
Charlotte Mont-d'Or respectfully bowed to Luffy
"Then I'll trouble you" Luffy nodded with a smile.
Thousand Sunny, along with Mont-d'Or ship, headed towards Whole Cake Island in the special current in the sea area of Totto Land.
Charlotte Mont-d'Or can be said to be very good at doing things, and he also stopped at two islands along the way, so that the Straw Hat Pirates and the group can experience the island.
Luffy notices that there are many chess soldiers on every island
"Could this be created by the ability of a devil fruit?" Nami pointed at a chess soldier standing guard, and frowned in confusion
Following Nami's gaze, Mont-d'Or immediately introduced: "Dear Your Excellency Nami, that is a chess soldier. It is mother who endowed chess with a soul through the ability of the soul fruit, so that they can have life. Theirs Life is given by mother, so these chess soldiers are very loyal to mother!!"
"So this is ah....."
Red lips pursed slightly, Nami nodded suddenly, "Soul soul fruit is really practical"
"So Big Mom maintain the entire island safety, this is really very convenient, Do the people living here have to pay protection fees or something?" Luffy asked curiously while looking around
The island where they are now is Nut Island. Luffy found that apart from the unique shape and unique building materials, the life of the people on the island is no different from that of other islands in the sea
To put it bluntly, there are so many islands here, each island is equivalent to a city, and the cities are governed by the cadres of the Charlotte family, but at the same time they have to accept the order of Charlotte Linlin...
"Protection fees?"
Hearing this, Mont-d'Or was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "No!! In our Island, people who live here don't need to pay any money, but every six months all residents on the island have to hand in a month of lifespan to mother"
Sengoku: "See?? This is the situation under the pirate rule!! Every one month's life is handed over!!!"
Seeing this scene on the screen suddenly, Sengoku was overjoyed, and quickly took the opportunity slam the pirate.
Charlotte Linlin: "Sengoku old dog! Don't you know how to count??? It must be no problem for a normal person give a little of their life!!"
Kong: "Hehe!!! So you are a blood-sucking woman sucking the lifespan of all the civilians in the Totto Land sea area, right!!?"
Charlotte Linlin: "So what, I am pirate, I can do what I want to do, at least I don't pretend like you!!"
Kong: "Hehe...!! she just admit it!!"
Sengoku: "People all over the world are watching!!! I don't know what those people who advocate Four Emperors are thinking, open your eyes now and see how terrible life is for civilians under the pirate rule!!"
Edward Newgate: "Gurarara la!! IfHow do you World Government and Marine have the face to say such a thing?"
Gol·D·Roger: "Hahaha!!! They don't have any shame!!!"
Shiki: "Jie ha ha ha ha...!!"
"life!!!?"
Hearing that the civilians here need to turn in their lifespans, Nami's eyes widened suddenly, and there was a coldness in her eyes
Several other people also had bad expressions on their faces...
As for the emotional changes of everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates, Mont-d'Or of course noticed it immediately, and he quickly explained with a smile: "Dear guests, don't be surprised, because my mother is a soul fruit user, and she wants to create a chess piece with the soul. Soldiers, city cleaners, and city liaisons all consume the power of the soul, which is the so-called lifespan."
"Actually, the lifespan paid by the people living in Kingdoms is equivalent to the protection fees paid by the territories of other forces!!" Mont-d'Or explained.
Usopp began to calculate in his mouth: "If it is once every six months, one year is equivalent to two months of life. If a person lives to 60 years old, it is equivalent to living only to 50 years old!"
"My God! It's like losing ten years of life...!!" Chopper's face showed a shocked look
Mont-d'Or continued to explain: "Actually, it's okay. With my mother, at least they don't have to worry any danger, and everyone can live to old age in peace. "
Buggy nodded: "That makes sense. Although Big Mom collects souls, she does indeed provide shelter. We walked all the way before, and some countries hand over huge amounts of heavenly gold to the world's government every year. Not only the common people can't live happily anymore , and the protection provided by the World Government is only lip service."
Charlotte Mont-d'Or: "The Buggy over there is so right! Although my mother takes the lifespan of ordinary people, she can guarantee the safety of the people of Totto Land!! Are the civilians in the affiliated nation living a peaceful and stable life???"
Charlotte Perospero: "What do you think? From the white-framed and red border videos, there are not many countries whose civilians are protected, and it depends on their own countries."
Marco: "Yeah! If the king of those countries is an asshole himself, like Wapol, then the common people in that country will suffer!!!"
Yasopp: "Even a good king like Cobra can't stop powerful pirates from doing bad things in their country!!"
Sengoku: "You pirates, don't open your mouth and talk nonsense!!! Didn't the World government send Marines to maintain the security of these countries?"
Nami: "Marine is indeed fulfilling the duty of protecting these countries. But basically, they will send warships after something happens!! But what's the use of that delayed justice??"
Benn Beckman: "Delayed Justice...well said!! When Marine sent warships to the country where the accident occurred, the local civilians had already been killed!! And even if Marine sent warships to solve the problem Local problems, but after Marine leaves, the local civilians will still be harmed by other pirates and bandits sooner or later"
Tsuru: "What's the situation??? You pirates have the face to say this?? If you weren't harming civilians, why would our Marine need to be like this!!!"
Gol·D·Roger: "Haha! Don't confuse the public! Pirate groups like the Big Mom Pirates, although they bear the name of pirates, are actually considered a country!!! What they do is the same as what the world's government is doing, It's not even as ruthless as your world's government!!"
Kozuki Oden: "Captain Roger is right!! Those pirates who do evil things are indeed evil, but like Brother Whitebeard's Whitebeard Pirates, they maintain the peace of their territories and only charge a certain amount of protection fees to civilians within their jurisdiction. It has been a lifesaver for many people!"
Charlotte Linlin: "Marine! Don't talk those useless things!! The fact is that there are more than 20 islands in my jurisdiction. No one has been attacked by pirates for many years! And those affiliated nation under the command of your world government are still often harmed by pirates, even by local nobles!!"
Luffy has been listening, he has no opinion on this...
In his opinion, this way of charging the lifespan of Big Mom is definitely wrong!
But as Mont-d'Or said, this is no different from other forces collecting protection fees
At least...the civilians living in the territory of Big Mom don't have to worry whether they will be harassed by pirates tomorrow
Don't worry being shot down by Tenryuubitos
The lifespan they pay can be truly rewarded!!
Whether this is right or wrong, Luffy can't immediately draw a conclusion
At this time, Nami suddenly grabbed Luffy's hand and pulled him to the back, then put her lips next to Luffy's ear and whispered: "This Big Mom, isn't it the same as sucking thousands of Berry?the blood of the people of the country?"
Luffy nodded: "Yes."
For Nami's point of view, Luffy is very sure.
He knows that Nami has lived in the shadow of the Arlong Pirates since she was a child, so she is very sensitive to freedom!
After seeing the civilians in Cake Island being given a layer of "shackles" by Big Mom1, the blood of justice surged in Nami's heart...
Seeing that Luffy agrees with her point of view, Nami clenched her small fist, her face full of justice: "Luffy, I think we should help these civilians!!"
Luffy pursed his lips and asked in a low voice: "Defeat Big Mom Pirates and liberate the nations?"
Nami nodded vigorously: "Yeah!! Give the civilians here a freedom!!"
Luffy thought for a while, then leaned close to Nami's ear and asked in a low voice: "Then, shall our Straw Hat Pirates replace the Big Mom Pirates and rule the nations?"
Nami suddenly frowned: "Ah? Of course not!! We still have our journey, and if we replace the Big Mom Pirates, then what's the difference between us and the Big Mom Pirates?"
Luffy bought two ice creams from the side of the road, and whispered while eating: "Have you ever thought it,if we drove the Big Mom Pirates away, and then we left, will the civilians here really be free?"
"them..."
Nami was to say that they will be free, but suddenly realized what Luffy meant
"Looks like you understand..." Luffy smiled, "This is New World!! Once the sea area of Totto Land is no longer occupied by Big Mom Pirates, then Countless pirates will flood into the island, and the life and death of civilians on these islands will depend entirely on the mood of the pirates they meet..."
"Think it, if that's the case, are we really saving them??"
Speaking, Luffy stuffed another ice cream into Nami's mouth
He now has one more dream!
He wants to try to change the world!!
But this matter, after Luffy has experienced so much, he understands one thing very well!
Only by fundamentally changing can the world be truly changed....
Luffy's words echoed deeply in Nami's mind
If the Straw Hat Pirates beat the Big Mom Pirates away, they can't stay here...
This consequence, Nami will understand immediately after thinking it for a while!
That's not helping the civilians here, but harming them!
Boom!
Nami took a sip of the ice cream, then looked at Luffy: "I'm sorry, I thought too one-sidedly"
"There's nothing to apologize for, it's just your kindness overshadowing your reason" Luffy smiled, then reached out to wipe off the ice cream overflowing from the corner of Nami's mouth.
Afterwards, Luffy was to wipe off the ice cream on his right thumb with a tissue, but Nami suddenly grabbed his hand.
"Don't waste it!"
Speaking, Nami ate it in one gulp. .
