Chapter 431: Big Mom Pirates and Roger Pirates
"Older Brother, how should we deal with this? Should we go to war?"
Oven, who was standing nearby, raised his fist, full of fire.
Typhon merely glanced at him without saying anything, causing Oven to involuntarily shrink back.
The deterrence brought by Typhon, who was only twenty years old, was too terrifying.
Within the Family, Typhon didn't play the role of a good Older Brother; he inspired more reverence, similar to Mama.
"Going to war is unnecessary," Katakuri said thoughtfully and seriously.
"Because we are not the Opponent of the Roger Pirates. Let's see what the Roger Pirates are actually here to do. If it can be resolved peacefully, then we will resolve it peacefully."
The Roger Pirates are a gathering place for Strongman.
Mama and Older Brother's Strength alone cannot stop the Roger Pirates.
In recent years, Katakuri and some of the older Child have begun external campaigns, expanding the Big Mom Pirates' Sphere of Influence.
Or dealing with troublesome Pirate and Faction within their Territory.
As well as expanding into the East Sea and Southern Sea Area.
The Monster Legion led by Typhon, to be precise, doesn't have a large Territory.
They only have one massive Monster Paradise, including at most a few surrounding Island.
This is because the Island of Monster Paradise is very large.
Just one Island is enough to satisfy the needs of the Monster Legion.
It's like Dragon Island; it's actually enough for the Tyrant Dragon Pirates.
Although they have made quite a name for themselves on The Great Sea, Katakuri is very clear that there is still a significant Gap between himself and those true Strongman.
The Big Mom Pirates are not afraid of the Roger Pirates; after all, Mama possesses a massive Homies Army.
But if War truly breaks out, it might harm their Family members, and this is something Katakuri doesn't want to see.
The Charlotte Family currently has quite a few young Child, and Charlotte Linlin is still pregnant with a Child, only one or two months away from giving birth.
"Perospero, go inform Mama."
"Katakuri, you come with me. We will intercept the Roger Pirates on The Sea. We absolutely cannot let them land on the Island."
Once the Roger Pirates land on the Island, it will be impossible to stop them.
What the Big Mom Pirates currently lack is Mid-to-High Tier Combatants.
Charlotte Linlin quickly received the news.
Under her purple eyeshadow, she was a little curious.
"What is that guy Roger doing here?"
She wasn't very familiar with Roger.
They had met once during the Rocks Era but hadn't fought, and they had barely interacted during the Sword Tournament.
To be precise, they weren't close.
No matter how Linlin thought about it, she didn't know what the Roger Pirates wanted.
However, since they had come, she couldn't easily let them land on the Island.
Everything had to be resolved on The Sea.
Standing on Zeus, with a large Fireball following above her head, Linlin quickly headed towards the direction the Roger Pirates were approaching from.
On The Great Sea, a massive Great Sea Homie blocked the path of the Oro Jackson like a small mountain.
It seemed capable of raising a Tsunami to swallow the Oro Jackson at any moment.
The surroundings were guarded by numerous Sea Water Homies, protecting Cake Island and the surrounding Sea Area.
Even the Marine Creatures in The Sea were given Souls by Charlotte Linlin, turning them into Special Homies.
Linlin's creation of Homies was never limited to inanimate objects.
In this vast Territory, Linlin used her Influence and unique geographical environment to create a Paradise.
Living in Totto Land, one only needed to regularly submit a small amount of Lifespan to live safely and without worry.
In recent years, besides giving birth, Linlin has continuously created Homies using the vast amount of Lifespan she collected.
In the Future, the Big Mom Pirates will also have a Rabbit Knight named Randolph, a humanoid Rabbit riding a Tsuru.
This is also a Special Homie created by Big Mom by giving it a Soul.
Numerous dangerous Marine Creatures, and a large number of Homie creatures also circled in the Sky, including some Gales and Elemental Homies.
The Roger Pirates felt as if they had entered a dragon's den or a tiger's lair.
They had never imagined that the Big Mom Pirates, who had been quite Calm in the New World, were actually this terrifying.
Two massive figures, Typhon and Linlin, stood side by side, with Katakuri, Oven, and a few others standing behind them.
"How terrifying! Is this what it means to be an army of one?"
This kind of formation undoubtedly startled the Roger Pirates greatly.
Some members of the Roger Pirates couldn't help but swallow.
They didn't know much about the Big Mom Pirates, whether it was the War between the Rocks Pirates, the Marines, and the World Government, or the Battle of God Valley.
They had never witnessed the times when Charlotte Linlin shone brightly.
That Era didn't have Live Streaming for them to watch, and the Information described in Newspapers was even scarcer.
The reason the Big Mom Pirates were able to stay out of the Wars in recent years was because of Linlin's terrifying Ability.
The Territory of the John Pirates bordered a part of the Big Mom Pirates' Territory.
Homies are just Consumables.
Who would want to fight a group of Consumables?
"Mom! Mom! Roger, it seems we haven't really interacted much, have we? Speak up, what are you here for, on my Territory!"
Charlotte Linlin asked with a laugh, looking down at the Roger Pirates.
Unless it was unavoidable, she also didn't want to have a Conflict with the Roger Pirates.
"Hahaha! Linlin, I heard you have a Road Poneglyph there. That's my Target. Let me make a copy of it, and I'll leave immediately after I'm done."
Facing Charlotte Linlin's question, Roger didn't hide his Target.
By this point, there was no need to hide.
Originally, he had wanted to sneak into the Big Mom Pirates' Treasury and make a copy of the item.
From the moment he was discovered, he knew it was impossible.
"Oh? That item? Of course, that's no problem."
Linlin readily agreed, her gaze sweeping over the Roger Pirates.
She laughed and licked her lips, finally settling on Rayleigh.
Rayleigh's Body stiffened, feeling that something bad was about to happen.
"Let Rayleigh stay with me for a while and be my new Husband. Once I have a Child, I'll return him to you. How about it? My request isn't too much, is it?"
Linlin had always greatly desired the Bloodline of Strongman.
Unfortunately, opportunities were few; the only time was with Titan.
Charlotte Linlin's words shocked the members of the Roger Pirates quite a bit.
Numerous gazes fell upon Rayleigh's Body.
Rayleigh felt goosebumps all over.
"Hey, Rayleigh, just sacrifice yourself and stay with Linlin for a while. We can easily get what we want, and you just make a small sacrifice." Gaban said with a laugh, looking at Rayleigh while carrying his axe.
The other members also laughed and started persuading Rayleigh.
The entire Ship was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
"What kind of joke is this?"
How could Rayleigh possibly agree to this request?
Seeing Rayleigh's attitude.
Roger, who was standing nearby, took two steps forward.
"Sorry, Linlin, my Vice-Captain doesn't want to agree to your request. Can you ask for something else?"
"Otherwise, we'll just have to go to war."
It would be best if it could be resolved peacefully.
If not, he wouldn't mind using some violent means.
These Homies looked numerous and terrifying, but under Conqueror's Haki, most of them would be swept away instantly.
As he spoke, the entire Roger Pirates erupted with a Terrifying Aura, as if shaking the entire Great Sea.
"Mama, just give it to them. Having a Conflict with the Roger Pirates isn't worth it for us."
"As for what to exchange it for? We can't let them off too cheaply. How about Treasure worth five billion Beli? I believe that much Treasure isn't too difficult for the Roger Pirates."
Typhon, who was nearby, suggested.
At this moment, he also didn't want any unnecessary trouble.
"Alright then." Linlin was persuaded.
Five billion Beli was also a huge sum for her.
Although she wasn't lacking, the more of this kind of thing, the better.
"Then let's make it Treasure worth ten billion Beli." As soon as she spoke, Linlin doubled the Base Number Typhon suggested.
Below, some members of the Roger Pirates' faces darkened.
Did they think they hadn't heard Typhon and Linlin's conversation?
"Alright, I agree."
Roger didn't care about these ten billion Beli.
After sailing on The Great Sea for so many years, he could still produce ten billion.
To a certain Degree, compared to his Dream, it was just a pile of numbers.
An invisible Conflict was thus resolved peacefully.
