Year 1470 of the Sea Circle Calendar.
This is an era where everything has yet to begin.
The Rocks Pirates have not yet claimed dominance over the new world.
The future Pirate King has only just set sail.
The future Marine Hero has just joined the Navy.
This is an era about to be filled with storms and legends.
"Madam!"
"Madam!"
"Please slow down; the young master has only just been born!"
Two young maids chased after a tall woman, almost as large as a Giant.
"Joey~~~"
"Joey!"
"Mommy's precious little Joey!"
"La la la~~~"
The beautiful young woman with pink hair held a baby in her arms, her face filled with tenderness and joy.
Charlotte Linlin.
At only 16 years old, she has already made a name for herself on the sea as one of the most powerful pirates of this era.
She set sail at age five and, by the age of 16, has amassed a bounty of 500 million Berries.
In a time before bounty inflation when hundred millions became normal, especially in new world.
A 500 million Berry bounty at just 16 years old, Would be equal to over 2 billion Berry bounty in the future.
Swoosh!
Standing by the window, Linlin leaped from her luxurious castle and called out, "Zeus."
"Mommy!"
A fluffy white cloud expanded into a thundercloud beneath her feet.
Linlin sat cross-legged on it, looking tenderly at the baby in her arms.
A pirate, infamous for burning, pillaging, and plundering, rarely shows such gentleness. But this was normal for the young and kind Linlin.
"Joey!"
"my son, Joey!"
"Tell me, do you think Mommy can make her dream of a united world come true? Mommy wants all races, all people, to live together peacefully and happily!"
Holding the baby, Linlin kept talking as if a floodgate had opened.
In truth, This is Linlin's true nature. She is a kind girl with extremely pure heart.
Sadly, She was abandoned by her parents at a young age, Lost her companions, Guided onto the path of piracy by Streusen, And eventually joined the Rocks Pirates.
Honestly, With this kind of life, if a normal person could still stay gentle and kind, They'd be nothing short of a saint or just stupid.
No one was born evil.
"…"
Joey, looking with dead-fish eyes, stayed silent.
As a transmigrator and a reborn soul, He ended up as a wisp of a soul.
And what happened then?
Linlin somehow captured him, capturing his soul.
He doesn't know what technique Linlin used ten months ago, But she somehow used his soul and her own bloodline, And managed to get pregnant. And now, Ten months later, he's been born.
As for who his father is?
Joey thinks, His case should probably be labeled as a "test-tube baby." It's close enough.
Linlin kept rambling on, while Joey couldn't help but grumble, "Mom, give it up! It's hopeless. With someone like Streusen guiding you, can you really be a good person?"
"…"
Joey was stunned.
Linlin was stunned.
The two of them stared at each other, wide-eyed, in silence.
"Ah!"
Before Joey could speak again, Linlin screamed in excitement and hugged him tightly, bouncing on Zeus.
"That's my boy! Just born and already talking!"
"Hehehe~~~"
Laughing, Linlin suddenly froze, standing on Zeus in shock then continued Laughing.
Joey lifted his dead-fish eyes, saying, "Prometheus, Napoleon, how long has Mom been like this?"
"Young Master Joey! Mom has always been this way."
Prometheus and Napoleon answered.
"Sigh!"
With a helpless sigh, Joey didn't know what to say.
Having such a strange mom seems it will be his pain in this life.
Of course, There's no denying it. Linlin carried him for ten months and gave birth to him, so denying her would be despicable. And he didn't have that choice anyway.
"Right!"
At that moment, Linlin asked, "Joey, what did you mean by what you said earlier?"
Feeling Linlin's hug getting tighter, Joey felt his little face starting to twist.
Fortunately, As Linlin's son by blood, Well… Like mother, like son.
A dragon gives birth to a dragon.
A phoenix gives birth to a phoenix.
The son of a rat will dig holes.
Being Linlin's biological child, he's truly inherited her physical traits.
Other kids, like Kozuki Oden, might throw their nannies at a few months old, catch rabbits at two, and smash bears at four...
Joey feels he's probably as strong, if not stronger.
"Mom, you're hurting me!"
Unable to bear it, Joey cried out.
While his body is sturdy, even he can't handle a hug from someone as monstrous as his mom.
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
Linlin started fumbling around, kneeling and carefully placing Joey on her lap.
Joey then sighed, "Mom, think about it. Under Streusen's influence, you've become a pirate. You're a pirate! How could you possibly build a united world? Even if you rule, it would just be forced rule."
Joey was well aware of his mother's past.
Abandoned by her parents, her companions lost, taught by Streusen, joined the Rocks Pirates.
Come on!
With that kind of tragic experience, the only thing missing is being abandoned by a lover. Although she'll establish Totto Land in the future, it will only be under violent rule.
If Linlin ever faces trouble, Totto Land would crumble instantly.
"Wahhh~~"
Linlin let out a cute whimper. "Joey, are you saying Streusen isn't trustworthy?"
"Mom, someone like Streusen! How could he be trustworthy? He is a pirate."
Joey then began explaining about Streusen to Linlin.
Luckily, Joey is Linlin's firstborn, and holds a special place in her heart.
Otherwise, Anyone else daring to speak like this would be instantly slapped by Linlin. After all, Streusen's teachings were what made her strong and are deeply meaningful to her.
"Then~~~"
"Hmmm....then~"
Linlin tilted her head adorably, listening to Joey, completely confused and unsure what to do. Finally, she suddenly declared proudly as she felt she found the solution, "Joey, Mommy has decided! The head of the Charlotte family will be you; from now on, you'll manage everything."
"…"
Joey was stunned. Mom? I just got born, and you're making me the family head?
From firstborn son who is only few hours old, straight to family head?
[Ding! Charlotte Joey has been detected as bound to the Charlotte family. Multiverse Family System activated!]
