"Heh heh, n."
Charlotte Linlin imdiately caught the disdain in Shirogai's eyes.
She looked at him mockingly, her booming voice reverberating through the entire room.
"I have given birth to so many children. Do you think I do not understand what n like you, who let your small heads control your big heads, truly desire? In the Charlotte Family alone, there are thirty nine won. Choose whichever one you like. I refuse to believe that among my beautiful and outstanding daughters, not a single one can move you."
As she imagined her daughters, tall and short, slender and voluptuous, each with their own charm, her confidence swelled. In her mind, even the so called strongest man in the world would fall under their spell.
"More high quality bloodline warriors. More powerful descendants."
Her already exaggerated smile widened with naked greed.
If her daughters bore children with Shirogai Yamikuro, would that not create an unparalleled lineage? A bloodline that surpassed even the Giant Race?
She could already see it.
The Charlotte God King Clan.
"The Pirate King will be mine. The throne of the world will be mine as well. I will beco the absolute queen of this era."
Ti had long stolen the youthful beauty she once possessed, yet her ambition remained boundless. In a fleeting mont, she imagined her grandchildren crushing the seas, helping her dominate the world and turn it into her perfect dreamland.
"Linlin, I believe you misunderstand."
Shirogai sighed softly, watching her indulge in fantasies of political marriage.
"Is it possible that I simply have no interest?"
Linlin gasped sharply and stared at him in sudden realization.
"Oh? Then what about my forty six sons? Although they cannot bear children…"
She fell into thought, her brows knitting together.
Perhaps she should summon Caesar Clown and demand research into artificial human technology.
"Enough."
Shirogai raised a hand calmly, cutting off her spiraling thoughts.
"I have no intention of forming a blood alliance with anyone. Your bloodline is not worthy of becoming the lineage of my descendants."
The temperature in the room dropped instantly.
"What did you just say?"
Linlin's massive face lood forward, Napoleon resting atop her head. Her eyes darkened with fury as she spoke in a low, chilling tone.
"Shirogai. Do not mistake temporary recognition as the strongest for absolute authority. You stand before one of the Four Emperors. Do not push
into doing sothing you will regret."
"Very well."
Shirogai smiled faintly.
"I will give you a chance. Do sothing that makes
regret it. And I will erase the Charlotte Family from this world, leaving not a single trace of your blood behind."
His tone remained refined and relaxed.
The aning behind it was not.
Pudding trembled where she stood, her legs giving out as she collapsed to the ground. The killing intent radiating from both figures crushed her spirit. She did not dare raise her head.
As the user of the mo mo Fruit, her perception of emotion was far sharper than ordinary people. She could distinguish empty threats from genuine intent.
What she felt from Shirogai was not a bluff.
It was certainty.
"Who do you think you are!"
Black flas surged around Big Mom as Protheus and Zeus hovered nacingly beside her.
Her Conqueror's Haki erupted violently, shaking the air itself.
"I am one of the Four Emperors. I am Big Mom!"
Any ordinary pirate would have been overwheld by such pressure.
Shirogai rely chuckled.
"Linlin, you truly are a spoiled giant child. Where I co from, there is a saying. If your hands can solve the problem, there is no need to argue."
He stood unmoved before her overwhelming presence.
"Do you believe that being an Emperor ans others must kneel? Then tell …"
His expression darkened.
Silver white lightning crackled within his eyes.
"Who do you think I am?"
Thunderclouds gathered instantly above Totto Land. Lightning coiled within the sky like serpents preparing to strike.
Boom. Boom. Boom.
A colossal bolt of lightning tore through the heavens.
The once bright sky plunged into darkness.
Across Totto Land, citizens looked upward in alarm. Monts ago the weather had been calm. Now violent thunder roared without warning.
Perospero, licking his candy cane, frowned.
"This weather changed too suddenly. That is not natural."
Smoothie tightened her grip on her blade, staring at the gathering lightning.
"This is no ordinary storm."
Katakuri nodded slowly, his sharp gaze fixed on the sky.
"Remain alert. Monitor the surrounding seas. This resembles the ability once displayed by Admiral Cero during certain operations, though the nature of this lightning feels different. Prepare for the worst."
Back inside the chamber, the air distorted as Conqueror's Haki clashed.
Linlin glared at him.
"You do not actually want to fight. If you did, you would have already attacked."
Shirogai's cold expression suddenly faded. He waved a hand casually.
"You only wish to increase your leverage. Very well. I can present you with an offer you cannot refuse."
Linlin's fury receded just as quickly, replaced by calculating caution.
"What are you planning? Dragging
into your madness?"
Shirogai laughed softly, the sound light yet unsettling.
"Madness? No. I simply intend to make this world burn faster."
