As for Hasawi, he ran towards the CP0's base in the Holy Land!

After all, Hathaway's mother, Stussy, was the commander-in-chief of the CP agents, and usually issued mission orders to agents around the world from the base.

the other side……

Because Rouge's residence wasn't far from the site of Char and Hancock's wedding, Ace and Amuro soon arrived at their mother Rouge's house! At that moment, Rouge was standing in the villa's garden, watering the flowers and plants she had planted herself.

"Mom! Something terrible has happened..."

After Ace and Amuro entered the garden, they immediately rushed to Rouge's side, calling out to Rouge who was intently tending to the flowers and plants.

"Huh? Aren't these Ace and Amuro?"

"Didn't you go to your father's wedding with Hancock?"

"Why did you rush back in such a hurry?"

Rouge looked at Ace and Amuro, who looked anxious and had beads of sweat on their foreheads. They had clearly rushed back from Char's wedding. A kind smile appeared on her face. She then took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped the sweat from her two precious sons' foreheads.

"Mother! Father is about to marry another woman! Why aren't you worried at all?!" Ace looked at his mother, whose expression was calm and showed no anxiety, and asked helplessly, "Aren't you afraid that Father will abandon us after he marries a new wife?!"

"Hehehe..."

After hearing Ace's words, Rouge was stunned for a moment, then she couldn't help but chuckle. At that moment, Rouge's laughter was like silver bells, and she laughed heartily for a long time, holding her lower abdomen, before finally stopping.

"You rushed back so urgently, it couldn't be just because of this, could it?!"

Rouge, cradling her aching belly from laughing, softly asked Ace and Amuro, "..."

"Of course!"

Ace and Amuro exchanged a glance, fearing that Char might become cold towards their mother after marrying Hancock. Yes, this was precisely what worried Ace and Amuro; they hoped their mother and father could be loving and devoted to each other forever.

"You don't need to worry about that at all..."

“Char would never neglect you or me for Hancock’s sake.”

"To be precise, among Char's many wives, the one you two little devils need to worry about the least is Hancock! Hancock doesn't have any ulterior motives; she's just a simple girl whose eyes are only for her lover..."

Rouge first gently rubbed the two little ones' heads with affection, then looked at Ace and Amuro and spoke with a smile.

"But that's Hancock!"

“Father abandoned us for Hancock!”

"If Hancock were to actually marry Father today and officially become his new wife, wouldn't she do even more outrageous things?!"

Ace looked at Rouge and asked, puzzled.

"Will not……"

Upon hearing this, Rouge smiled gently.

Then Rouge's expression suddenly turned cold. She looked at her sons with a calm demeanor and a glint of shrewdness in her eyes, and said softly, "Because your Hancock sister has nothing but her beauty! She doesn't have a powerful enough force backing her up."

"Um?!"

Ace and Amuro were taken aback, somewhat puzzled.

As Rouge spoke, she pulled Ace and Amuro into her arms, her gaze fixed on the distance as she murmured softly, "Speaking of which, Smoothie is quite a threat to us, but the others are nothing to worry about."

"Mom! Of all of Father's wives, who has the most powerful backing?!"

Amuro then seemed to remember something, and looked at his mother Rouge, asking her a question.

"Silly boy……"

Upon hearing Amuro's question, Rouge couldn't help but chuckle. She leaned down and gently kissed Amuro and Ace on the forehead before whispering, "Of course it's your mother! I'm the one with the strongest backing among all of Char's women! Otherwise, your Aunt Stussy wouldn't have needed to team up with Smoothie to try and rival me."

"Mom, where is your influence? We can't see it."

At this moment, Ace asked Rouge with a puzzled look.

"Hehe! Where exactly does a mother's power lie? You'll understand when you grow up! I hope you stay young forever and never have to use them! But when you need them, believe me, they are the strongest and most reliable people in the world..."

Rouge replied with a smile.

When Ace and Amuro grow up, they will discover that in their future, there is a pirate crew that once conquered the entire sea and is considered the strongest in the world, waiting for them to inherit it!

Rayleigh, Jabba, Bullet, and even Shanks and Buggy! These former members of Roger's pirate crew all had to give her some respect...

As for why Rouge explained these things to Ace and Amuro beforehand...

Even though Char is immortal, a crown prince is still necessary...

Rouge foresaw that the greatest war in the world's future would not be Char's rebellion against the World Government, nor the pirates' struggle for ONE PIECE! Rather, it would be the power struggle for the throne among Char's sons, the King of the World, in the not-too-distant future…

Rouge didn't know if this war would come, but she had to prepare in advance! To fight for everything she could for her sons…

"Oh!"

At this moment, Ace and Amuro, still quite young, were deeply moved even though they couldn't understand Rouge's words. Ace, looking at his younger brother Amuro, secretly vowed in his heart that as the older brother, he would take good care of his younger brother and would never let Amuro fall into any danger.

Meanwhile, in the CP agents' command center.

Stussy also explained to Hassavi that Hancock posed no threat to them.

At this moment, Stussy held Hathaway in her arms, gently placing a list of names in his hands: "Hathaway, listen to this. The tens of thousands of agents on this list, from CP1 to CP9, will all be your allies in the future! Even those CP0 agents who swore allegiance to your father, except for that bastard Barrett, will all be yours in the future! Furthermore, Vegapunk will also serve you. I've already asked Vegapunk to develop Pacifistas who will only obey your orders! Hathaway, you are the one among all of Char's children most likely to reach the top!"

"Mother……"

Hassawi nodded slightly, but he didn't tell Stussy that he had absolutely no interest in vying for the throne. If someone had to be chosen as the crown prince, then Amuro should be the one; he wasn't cut out to be the crown prince or the head of the Figarand family.

the other side.

Erza and Lara's mother, Olbia, is also contacting scholars and doctors in Ohara for her two daughters! Intellectuals from all over the world will become her daughters' support.

In addition, Olbia and Figaland Shi became very close...

This was all because Madam Shi assured Olbia that her son Camus had no interest in the Figarand family's next heir and would not fight for such a trivial matter!

Lady Toki had a clear vision for Camus, also known as Amezuki Akira: to inherit Wano Country and help it open its borders, thus becoming the strongest and greatest shogun of Wano...

Lady Toki allied with Olvia because she valued the vast knowledge of the Ohara scholars behind him—knowledge that could make Wano Country stronger! Olvia, on the other hand, valued Wano Country's fertile land and advantageous geographical location, which he believed would help his two daughters remain undefeated in their struggle against Char's other children…

Meanwhile, at Smoothie's villa.

"That girl Hancock really acts fast!"

Smoothie sat in her garden, admiring the flowers and plants around her, sipping her favorite fruit smoothie, looking completely content.

"Hey! Smoothie!"

"Char's wives have all started forming alliances with each other!"

"Don't you need to be on their good side?!"

Cracker leaned against the gate of Smoothie Garden, his arms crossed in front of him, tilting his head to look at Smoothie in the garden, and asked.

“Crecker, what are you talking about? Do I really need to form an alliance with them?! I have my invincible mother behind me, and the powerful Katakuri brother, and Cracker brother too! Plus my other brothers, and Haman who perfectly inherited Mom's talent! They really should form an alliance with me…”

Upon hearing this, Smoothie spoke dismissively to Cracker.

"Haha, you're right!"

Cracker threw his head back and laughed loudly.

Cracker seemed quite pleased with Smoothie's praise...

Even Cracker himself didn't know that he was still no match for Smoothie.

After all, Smoothie, like Char's other wives, underwent a genetic modification surgery to enhance Char's bloodline, gaining a lifespan as long as that of giants and astonishing defensive capabilities comparable to those of the Lunaria race...

However, one thing is clear to Cracker: their mother, Charlotte Linlin, the queen of Whole Cake Island and known as the Pirate Queen, is absolutely the most powerful.

Yes, behind every one of Char's children stands a tremendous power!

Meanwhile, Char's wives were explaining the current internal situation of the Figarand family to their children...

Char and Hancock's wedding has come to an end.

Hancock looked at the empty seats and knew perfectly well that none of Char's wives were present...

"I was really underestimated!"

Hancock responded with a soft, cold laugh, clearly annoyed.

"Heh, you don't actually think that only you have powerful backers, while I, Hancock, only have my two sisters who depend on me for survival, do you?! If that's really what you think, then I can only say that you are far too naive..."

"You must understand, I come from the Amazon Lily Kingdom. My future child, my soon-to-be daughter, will have a mother who is the Amazon Lily Empress! Just you wait and see! My child, Hancock's child, will never be inferior to anyone else..."

Hancock made up her mind: she would never let her child lose in terms of power and status to Char's children born to other women.

"..."

Char was well aware of what his women were thinking.

He was actually quite pleased with this outcome...

After all, the fact that the power behind Char's women and children has become stronger is also equivalent to the fact that the power behind him has become stronger!

As for whether his children will fight for the crown prince position in the future!

Char didn't care! After all, his goal was immortality, and he would inevitably achieve eternal life! So, if his children wanted to be crown princes for life, let them fight for it! He couldn't be bothered to stop them...

As for what Char is going to do now?!

"Hancock, it's time for us to go to our bridal chamber."
