Arceus in One Piece - Chapter 85

The green dragon soared over Cake Island, startling the residents and Homies of the island with its sudden appearance. Charlotte Linlin, stepping out of the gate, looked at Kaido in the sky, a unique smile appearing on her lips.

“Well, well~ Well, well~, the little brother from back then has grown up and is no longer cute at all.”

The fruits that Kaido possessed were all given by her, so, of course, she could recognize the Kaido in his transformed state.

And the reason Kaido appeared here was that he didn’t want his territory to be affected.

Charlotte Linlin was sometimes a madwoman, and Kaido was well aware of that.

But those were the Queen’s things. He knew that Queen had been busy with these things for quite sometime before and after planting them. Since Queen didn’t want to take them out, no one could take them away.

To prevent Charlotte Linlin from causing trouble in his territory, he came directly to Cake Island, intending to clarify things here. Even if they fought and caused damage, it would be Charlotte Linlin’s territory, and his territory would be safe.

“It’s been seven, no, almost eight years. Kaido last saw you almost eight years ago. I didn’t expect you to come to me for such a thing. John’s territory has been taken over by you, and I guess you’ve got that treasure too?”

“What are you talking about? I didn’t find John at all. I just took over his territory.”

Anyone who considered Kaido as a simpleton was the true simpleton. This guy was cunning. Captain John’s matter, no matter who asked him, he wouldn’t be able to say it. That was the current financial code of the Beasts Pirates.

Many of the policies formulated by Asie cost a lot of money in the early stages, but they were maintained by those treasures. Even if they were short of money now, they could still go there to get it.

“Well, well~ Well, well~, is that so? John’s luck is terrible. He actually died in an internal conflict. But since you’re here, let’s have a good chat.”

After seven or eight years, two significant pirates met again for some bananas.

Kaido came here obviously to talk, and if he could speak, it meant that it wasn’t unattainable but required a specific price.

“Since it’s your territory, then I’ll pay for it. Send bananas here every year.”

“That’s impossible, Linlin. At most, after the production expands, I’ll give you a portion. And money, that kind of thing, I’m not interested at all.”

To be precise, it was selling bananas to make a few coins. He had no interest in such things. He came here to be a middleman.

If Charlotte Linlin wanted to seize it forcibly, he would never agree. His attitude towards the little brothers he valued was always good, and he wouldn’t compromise just because the other party was Charlotte Linlin.

But it would have been different if it had been a trade. Even if the Queen could eat a lot, there was a limit. However, the area for banana planting had no limits. With the expansion of the region, he naturally had surplus bananas to sell to Charlotte Linlin.

But only he had these bananas. Being in a monopoly position, he would naturally prefer something other than those berries. What he wanted was Charlotte Linlin’s intelligence network.

All major pirates had their own intelligence networks. If they relied solely on newspapers, they would sooner or later be fooled by that guy Morgan. He dared to report anything, but he had also fabricated news for the sake of attracting attention.

Among the many pirates in the New World, Charlotte Linlin had the closest dealings with the Gray World. She needed various high-quality ingredients to collect people or other creatures from multiple races to Totto Land, which required the underground world’s intelligence network.

He also wanted to use Charlotte Linlin’s intelligence network to collect information about those stone slabs. He used the stone slabs in exchange for powerful abilities with Al Zhoze.

And settling the bill with fruits here at Charlotte Linlin’s, this middleman could be said to be making a killing.

For Charlotte Linlin, borrowing the intelligence network was a small deal. Kaido bet that she wouldn’t refuse.

“Intelligence network? What are you looking for those things for?”

“It’s none of your concern. You get what you want. I get what I want. Why bother making it so clear?”

“But I need those bananas now. What you are looking for is something I’ve heard of. Indestructible peculiar stone slabs.”

“If your information is true, it’s not impossible to negotiate.”

He wouldn’t go and fight with Queen for such things, but if the information were accurate, Queen would choose to compromise because Shauna would definitely go and have a friendly exchange with him after knowing it.

“If that’s the case, I’ll go find the things, and after I find them, we’ll trade again. Kaido, I’ll give you a face. I only want half of the bananas on that island.”

“Okay.”

Although Queen would suffer losses, as long as there were stone slabs, Al Zhoze would definitely not mind helping him make up for this loss. Compared with these second-generation bananas, the original bananas would obviously taste better.

However, after Kaido and Charlotte Linlin reached a deal, a troublemaker appeared.

“Linlin! Who is that? What are you doing? How dare you drink!”

Charlotte Linlin was a pirate, and Kaido was also a pirate. They were old acquaintances, and after reaching a certain deal, the two of them were drinking arm in arm, which was quite normal.

At this time, Charlotte Linlin was not yet forty years old, and when she was over sixty, she was completely different from her youth. After forty-eight years old, her face began to become “stern,” but before that, her appearance was stunning.

And it’s also the type favored by Mr. Cao.

It’s well known that Charlotte Linlin, besides having many children, also had many husbands. The person who questioned Charlotte Linlin was her new husband.

At this time, Charlotte Linlin still had a child in her belly, but being pregnant did not affect her fighting. Her monstrous physique was already different from ordinary people’s. In a sense, the first husband of the big aunt was powerful.

When her current husband saw Charlotte Linlin and another young man, arm in arm and drinking, he felt that his nerves were jumping.

Moreover, Charlotte Linlin’s husband often made a mistake. That is, he overestimated his position in Charlotte Linlin’s heart.

She valued capable children, but for her, her husband was just a tool. Usually, the children would be abandoned after they were born. Her current husband didn’t know that his term was only a few months left.

Initially, he could still have these few months, but at this time, he came out to disturb Charlotte Linlin, which made the already pregnant Charlotte Linlin think that he was a troublemaker.

So when he approached the big aunt and talked about some things, what he got was only a ruthless slap, and he became the shortest-serving husband of Charlotte Linlin.
