Zhu Tian started by deceiving his father-in-law from the perspective of pirates.

The woman let out a shrill scream, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and flew backward like a deflated kite.

It smashed through countless castles and walls before finally lying on the ground.

At this moment, Charlotte Linlin's eyes were swollen, she lay on the ground, barely breathing, her body covered in huge wounds, especially from the attack Kaido had just inflicted with his fel energy, a green energy that had begun to corrode her body.

Lingling, your steel balloon is indeed very strong, but it's still no match for the evil power that is the nemesis of life.

The battle between the two was a complete rout by Kaido. He didn't even need to use his fel energy or rage; with his current Demon Dragonman form, Kaido could easily overwhelm Big Mom.

Looking at Charlotte in the distance, Linlin did not get up again. Kaido also knew that the battle had been decided, so he came to Charlotte standing in front of him.

"Linlin! Is this all you've got? Or am I just too strong? Damn it! You got beaten up like this, waaaaah!" Kaido burst into tears after saying that.

Kaido has very complicated feelings for Charlotte Linlin, especially back when they were on Rocks' pirate ship. Charlotte Linlin was the one who took the best care of him, treating him like an older sister.

After crying for a while, Kaido wiped away his tears and then let out a maniacal laugh. At this time, Big Mom, who had been lying on the ground for a while, had also regained consciousness and was panting heavily as she looked at Kaido sitting next to her.

"Hehehe! Linlin, let's do this together! How about you join me? You've already lost anyway. In the world of pirates, there are only two paths when you lose: death or submission to the other side. You should understand that," Kaido said.

"Damn it! You mean you want me to be your subordinate?" Charlotte Lingling said through gritted teeth.

Although I hate to admit it, reality is really harsh; I am no match for Kaido at all.

In the world of pirates, defeat means death or submission; there is no third option.

"Linlin, I can also teach you those two powers I just used! You can learn them, and your power will reach a higher level. How about coming to work with me? Your children have already failed." Kaido said.

“Kaido! We can cooperate, but I won’t become your subordinate. Let’s form an alliance,” Charlotte Linlin said.

"You have no choice, Lingling. This is not a pirate playhouse."

If you don't agree to surrender, I'll imprison you and then threaten your children with your life.

"You may not care about your children, but they care about you very much," Kaido said.

Chapter 99 Capturing the Old Lady Alive, the Charlotte Family's Submission

You stupid old woman, even at a time like this, you still want to make demands?

No way! You only have one path now: submit or be imprisoned by me.

"Damn it! You bastard Kaido! Have you forgotten how I took care of you and helped you before?"

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been able to stay in the Rocks Pirates at all," Charlotte Linlin said.

"Give up! Lingling, you have no chance anymore! Your Observation Haki isn't very good."

But they should be able to sense something, right? The battle on Whitebeard's side has already ended.

Your sons and daughters have already failed; you have no hope of turning things around.

With Kaido's powerful Observation Haki, he could clearly sense that Whitebeard and Rod had already dealt with all of Big Mom's children.

All of the old women's children were already bound, facing the Death Knight Whitebeard.

Even Kaido wouldn't dare guarantee he could defeat him 100%, let alone Big Mom's children.

Besides, he also has his silly girl, that kid Rhodes, and that woman there. The battle over there is even easier than the one on his side.

Upon hearing Kaido's words, Charlotte Linlin turned her head with difficulty and used her Observation Haki to focus her senses. Sure enough, her children had been defeated, and Whitebeard and his crew were walking towards them.

"So, what's your decision, Lingling? If you don't join, you'll only die," Kaido said.

This old woman didn't really care about her children, but they were very concerned about their mother's safety. Of course, maybe only a small portion of them didn't care!

After all, Kaido knew what kind of person Charlotte Linlin usually was; she treated her children even worse than he treated Yamato.

Why not just kill all his children? They're not that strong anyway.

On the other side, Rhodes, accompanied by Whitebeard and a group of Big Mom's children and captives, also arrived.

"Mom! Damn Kaido, what have you done?"

"Mom, are you okay?"

"You despicable bastards, let go of our mother right now!" the woman's children immediately roared.

At this moment, all of Charlotte Linlin's children were taken care of by Whitebeard alone.

Or they were knocked down by Rod, Yamato, and others, and then tied up one by one with sea stone chains. As for those who were not ability users...

Rhodes trapped them directly with fel magic.

"Shut up! You bunch of useless trash, you can't do anything right. I can't even do the things I teach you properly," Charlotte Linlin yelled.

He couldn't defeat Kaido on his own, and now his plans for his children had also failed. His actions were a complete joke. He had originally wanted to control this kid.

Then they tried to control Whitebeard, but the plan ultimately failed!

So at this moment, Charlotte Linlin was already furious and embarrassed.

“Mom! This, this isn’t our fault! Whitebeard, Whitebeard is completely unaffected by Seastone, we, we really couldn’t do anything about it,” Charlotte Perospero said.

“What a bunch of useless things. How could I have given birth to such trash?” Charlotte Linlin said.

Upon hearing this, all the members of Charlotte's Pirates and all of Big Mom's children lowered their heads in sorrow.

In the eyes of their mother, her children were merely tools for her to rule, to be used for marriage alliances, or for other purposes.

There were even older siblings who had died tragically at the hands of the old woman. These children both feared and dreaded Charlotte Linlin, their mother.

"You just said your children are all useless, but aren't you yourself useless?"

"Look who's been beaten into this pathetic state! How embarrassing! Now all they can do is lie on the ground and whine! They can't even get up!" Rhodes said with an extremely mocking expression.

Big Mom's personality is, to be honest, even worse than Kaido's. Sometimes she can be very kind to young children, but at other times she can be extremely cruel and terrifying, just like the legendary old witch.

And what gives you the right to call your own children useless?

They were facing one of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard, along with themselves, a sorcerer, Sylvanas Windrunner, and Yamato. Even without Whitebeard's intervention, the three of them working together could easily handle Big Mom's children.

The only one who is relatively difficult to deal with is probably Katakuri. Among Big Mom's children, he is the only one who is truly strong.

But against this kind of guy, Rhodes's fel magic can easily kill him, as long as there is a front-line tank in front to block him.

For spellcasters like mages and warlocks, every spell is deadly as long as they maintain distance, especially the warlock's fel magic.

"You damn brat, who do you think you are? How dare you mock me!" Charlotte Linlin's eyes widened as she roared at Rhodes.

It's one thing for Kaido to mock me, but this newcomer in Kaido's pirate crew actually dares to point fingers at me.

"Linlin, this is your last chance. If you don't agree, we'll really have no choice but to imprison you," Kaido said.

“You two bastards! I will never surrender, so forget about it!” Charlotte Linlin said.

"Looks like you're not planning to surrender! Kaido, let's proceed with the original plan. Capture her and take her back to Wano Country, then imprison her. Once we get back, we'll take some time to extract her Devil Fruit power and then seal up her body," Rhodes said.

Upon hearing this, Charlotte Linlin's eyes widened, and she glared fiercely at Rhodes.

Big Mom's Devil Fruit ability is indeed very precious. If it were extracted and given to a trustworthy person to eat, it would be of great benefit to Rhodes.

After conducting a few more experiments to steal the Devil Fruit, and once he can be sure of success, Rod plans to kill Big Mom and extract her Devil Fruit power.

Then the body was sealed away, and after returning to the world of Azeroth, a set of materials for the transformation of a Death Knight was prepared.

Charlotte Linlin's Soul-Soul Fruit ability is very special, and Rhodey can't guarantee what kind of trouble this ability might cause.

If her Devil Fruit power interferes when the demon slave contract is signed, that would be terrible.

Therefore, killing the old woman directly and then reclaiming her ability is the safest and most secure approach.

After returning to Azeroth in the future, her corpse can be transformed into a Death Knight. Although she will lose her Devil Fruit powers, Charlotte Linlin's greatest strength is not her Devil Fruit powers, but her abnormal physical attributes.

In a single instant, Rod decided the old lady's fate.

"In that case, her children are useless, so let's just kill them all." Kaido turned to Charlotte Linlin's children and said fiercely.

This time, Rhodes didn't stop Kaido because there was actually a better way to subdue Big Mom's children.

At this moment, Charlotte Linlin's children all began to show expressions of fear.

Their proud, invincible mother has fallen, and now even they are going to die at the hands of the other side?

"Wait a moment, I can lead my younger brothers and sisters to submit to you, Lord Kaido, and Lord Rod," Katakuri said at this moment.

His Observation Haki had just clearly sensed that if he did nothing, his younger brothers and sisters would be slaughtered one by one by Kaido.

He also guessed what the other side meant: if he didn't lead his younger siblings to surrender, then all of them would only have one fate: death.

Or rather, even in death they will not find peace; their corpses will be used by this man.

And he seemed to have discovered something. This man named Rod didn't seem to be Kaido's subordinate.

Their conversation didn't seem like a breakdown at all; it looked more like an alliance.

"Brother Katakuri, how could you do this?" Charlotte Galette, the 18th daughter of the old woman, asked in disbelief.

“That’s right. Katakuri and I will lead our younger siblings to submit to Lord Kaido and Lord Rod.” Charlotte Perospero, Big Mom’s eldest son, said.

Like his brother, he realized the situation: if they didn't surrender, they would die. They had no choice in this situation; that's the world of pirates.

“Brother Peros! Even you are like this?” Charlotte Smoothie asked, puzzled.

“Idiots, if you still consider me your brother, all of you will listen to me and Katakuri,” Charlotte Perospero said.

Working under your mother's supervision, or living under her supervision, is a kind of torture!

Only her older sons and daughters could understand this hardship; the old woman didn't treat them, her children, like human beings at all.

She can even go insane. Once her food cravings take hold, she's capable of killing even her own son.

In their mother's eyes, they were not even as important as a delicious meal.

"Is that so? Kid, you're willing to bring your younger siblings to submit to me? You and the others are alright, but the rest are just trash," Kaido said.

It wasn't that he looked down on the old lady's children; it was just that they were too weak. The only one who was truly like a man was this kid named Katakuri.

"Then it's decided. After we return to Wano Country, we'll kill Charlotte Linlin and extract her Devil Fruit power."

"Then we'll preserve the body, and once we get to Azeroth, we'll turn her into a death knight for our use," Rhodes said.

Without the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit, Big Mom wouldn't be able to cause any trouble when transforming the Death Knight. At that time, the Queen's Revive-Revive Fruit can help her suppress Charlotte Linlin's soul and complete her transformation.

"Wait! Kaido! I'm willing to surrender to you," Charlotte Linlin, who had been lying on the ground, said.

Even if she doesn't surrender, the other party can still gain her abilities and use her to fight. So why is she still persisting?
