For Charlotte Linlin, eating was, at certain tis, even more important than the title of Pirate King.
So after Sanji ow spoke up, Big Mom imdiately cast aside the thought of taking her anger out on her children.
The gloomy look on her face instantly turned into joy and anticipation. She then called over the Big Mom Pirate head chef,
ordering him to take Sanji ow to the kitchen and make the almond cookies she was craving right now.
Off to the side, Katakuri let out a huge sigh of relief.
Although he had already foreseen all of this beforehand through Observation Haki, knowing his mother temperant as well as he did, he would still worry about his younger brothers and sisters until everything was truly settled.
And while Big Mom attention was diverted to food, he quickly instructed the nearby Homies to secretly carry away the few Charlotte family mbers who had passed out, so that BIG MOM wouldn’t notice them again later because of so other matter.
Setting aside their respective positions, Katakuri was indeed an exceptionally good older brother.
However, Sherwin wasn’t paying much attention to Katakuri side at the mont.
Instead, he was rather curiously looking at the short old man in front of him, whose height was even lower than that of so Felynes...
As Charlotte Linlin guide, and one of the only two people in the original story who had personally witnessed the truth behind Mother Carl disappearance back then, Streusen had not "used" the still-immature Charlotte Linlin. Instead, he chose to nurture and assist her.
In this regard, he was very similar to Trebol, who had handed the String-String Fruit to the Heavenly Yaksha.
Was it because he knew his own abilities were insufficient to control this sea, so he chose to invest in the future instead?
After thinking it over, that was the only possibility Sherwin could co up with...
Although the people they invested in were all rather hard to describe, and at the ti Big Mom and the Heavenly Yaksha were both under ten years old—sothing that sounded completely absurd—once placed in the world of pirates, it sohow felt exceptionally reasonable.
"Mr. Sherwin has been staring at this whole ti. Is there sothing you need?"
Perhaps because he had been stared at by Sherwin for a bit too long, Streusen couldn’t help but take the initiative to ask.
"No, it nothing," Sherwin shook his head and casually made up a reason. "I just heard that your Devil Fruit ability can turn anything into food—the Cook-Cook Fruit—so I was a little curious."
Streusen didn’t think much of it and smiled modestly. "Kukuku... compared to Logia-type fruits, my ability really isn’t anything special."
After exchanging a few simple words with Sherwin, he turned his head toward Sanji ow.
"Please follow . Our kitchen will definitely be able to et all of your needs."
Sanji ow first glanced at Sherwin, and only after seeing him nod in agreent did he follow Streusen toward the kitchen.
Given Big Mom personality, it was almost impossible for her to cause trouble while Sanji ow was cooking, so Sherwin was fairly at ease about his safety.
However, the cautious Hunter, just in case, still had Link ow accompany Sanji ow to the kitchen in the capacity of the second chef of the Felyne Mobile Restaurant.
"Then let talk about the other matter."
After Sanji ow and the others left, Big Mom expression once again turned serious. She looked toward Nico Robin at the side and said, "You really don’t plan on handing Nico Robin over?"
"Like I said before, if I really wanted to do that, I wouldn’t have fought Kaido a while ago."
Sherwin spread his hands and once again refused Charlotte Linlin.
But before her expression could darken in anger, Sherwin continued, "Besides, the reason you want to take Robin is just to have her translate the Poneglyphs, right? Then we can help you translate them."
"Oh?" Big Mom was taken aback for a mont, looking at Sherwin with so suspicion. "You’re willing to let her translate the Poneglyphs for ?"
"Why not?" Sherwin explained.
"I don’t even want to be a pirate, let alone have any interest in becoming Pirate King.
Protecting Robin is only because she our companion. And Robin herself is very interested in the history recorded on them—being able to see more Poneglyphs would be sothing she couldn’t ask for more.
Even if you obtain new Poneglyphs in the future, you can co to Robin again to have them translated."
This was also one of the solutions Sherwin had discussed with Robin and Huai ow before coming here, as well as one of the ways to gain access to the Poneglyphs collected by BIG MOM.
He had never even considered having Robin fabricate a fake translation like she did to deceive Crocodile, because he genuinely did not care who would reach Laugh Tale first.
Sherwin actually knew as well that, given the nature of these pirates, it was unlikely they would easily let go of Nico Robin, who knew the contents of the Road Poneglyphs in their possession and could potentially translate them for others.
But even if they did not propose such a thod, would Big Mom and the other pirates vying for Laugh Tale really let them off so easily?
In any case, with their current strength, Sherwin and his group had more than enough confidence to deal with most contingencies, so they might as well take this opportunity to openly read through the few Road Poneglyphs in Big Mom hands.
As for how the World Governnt might react once this matter beca known...
First of all, as long as Big Mom was not foolish, she would not spread this kind of thing everywhere.
Secondly, even if the omnipresent CP agents found out, it would rely an facing future circumstances a bit earlier—the World Governnt had never truly intended to spare Robin anyway.
Regarding Sherwin proposal, Charlotte Linlin did not imdiately agree.
After all, she still had a daughter with Three-Eye Tribe blood, so she was not particularly pressed about translating the Poneglyphs.
"Mother, I think we can give it a try, lick—"
At this mont, Charlotte Perospero suddenly leaned over to Big Mom ear. While licking his tongue, he whispered to her, seemingly suggesting that she agree to Sherwin proposal.
As the eldest son of the Charlotte Family and the strategist of the Big Mom Pirates, Perospero words carried considerable weight with her.
After listening to his murmured advice, the Big Mom who had been hesitating imdiately burst into laughter.
"Ma ma ma ma! Fine, I agree! I’ll have soone bring the rubbings of the Poneglyphs over in a mont. But before that..."
Big Mom licked her lips, her expression once again filling with anticipation. "Aren’t the almond macarons ready yet? I can’t wait to taste them!"
In stark contrast, the mont those words left her mouth, all of her children nearby looked as if they were facing a mortal enemy, terrified that Big Mom hunger pangs would flare up in the next second.
"Please wait just a little longer, Mother. Streusen and the others only left not long ago, and baking the macarons also takes ti."
Perospero, the closest to her, hurriedly tried to placate her, to the point that he even forgot his habitual tongue-licking.
"How about having soone bring up so other sweets first?"
In his panic, Perospero offered a suggestion that was not particularly wise.
"No! Right now I only want to eat almond macarons!"
Instead of helping, those words had the opposite effect, making Big Mom emotions grow even more irritable.
Imdiately after, Katakuri expression changed drastically as he shouted, "This is bad! Brother Perospero! Get out of the way!"
At the sa ti, Big Mom increasingly crazed roar rang out.
"Hurry and give ... almond macarons—!!!"
