Chapter 18 Future Plans
Chapter 18 Future Plans
Charlotte Linlin was stunned when she saw the new Kaido emerge from the woods.
"Kai...Kaido?"
She asked softly, somewhat incredulously.
Kaido nodded slightly. "It's me."
"You...how did you become a gigolo?!"
Charlotte Linlin's voice was full of surprise, and she didn't care about the temperature of the grilled meat anymore, so she quickly came to Kaido's side.
They thoroughly examined Kaido from top to bottom, left to right, and every inch of his body.
It's sizzling!
Kaido's shirt and suit, which he had just put on, were torn open by the woman.
Charlotte Linlin gently stroked Kaido's flawless white chest and abdominal muscles with her slender, jade-like fingers.
"All the scars are gone..."
"Slurp~~"
Charlotte Linlin slowly leaned forward, sucking back the saliva that had inappropriately trickled down her chin, and gently sniffed with her pert nose.
"There's a smell of moisture; you just took a shower..."
A glint of light flashed in her amber eyes.
Without saying a word, Charlotte Linlin grabbed Kaido and ran towards the cave.
"Prometheus! The grilling is entirely yours!!"
While they were talking, the woman had already pulled Kaido away and run far away, leaving only Prometheus and Zeus staring at each other in bewilderment.
Two hours later.
With a loud cry of an eagle echoing in the sky, a great battle came to an end.
Charlotte Linlin rolled her eyes, stuck out her tongue, and her delicate face was covered in sweat.
"You...you little brat...you've actually...become stronger again..."
Kaido threw off his ripped shirt and looked into the depths of the cave.
His height gradually shrank from 7.1 meters to 2 meters. He stepped on the fiery clouds and walked straight in.
"I wasn't quite done yet..."
Another hour later.
The sun hangs high in the sky, directly overhead.
The roasted sea monster, originally intended for breakfast, has now become Kaido and his two companions' lunch.
Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, now dressed neatly again, emerged from the cave together.
Behind Kaido, Selene, who was currently unable to move easily, was carried by flames and they arrived at the barbecue location together.
The outcome here was almost exactly as Kaido had predicted.
The roasted sea monster, which was originally about 70% cooked, was completely turned into a pile of charcoal after being processed by Prometheus in the final stage.
Knowing he had done something wrong, Little Sun, with a droopy expression, silently flew to Charlotte Linlin and sincerely apologized.
"I'm sorry, Mom..."
"Mommy, it's no big deal! We can grill more meat if we run out! It won't take much time!"
Charlotte Linlin was in a good mood. Seeing that Little Sun didn't try to argue maliciously and obediently admitted its mistake, she waved her hand and forgave it directly.
Kaido glanced at the pile of charred remains, but said nothing. He simply took out a roasted sea monster and three large barrels of wine from his system inventory.
'We only have 98 roasted sea mammals left as reserve ready-to-eat rations, and only 9990 tons of wine left. We're almost done...'
Kaido silently calculated his food reserves.
The system's monthly trial missions, once completed, only offer 500 tons of resources per mission if you choose to use them.
This 10000 tons of wine was the result of 20 months of hard work accumulating his inventory!
The fact that 10 tons were consumed so quickly was incredibly painful for him.
Although the system backpack still contains 5000 tons each of rice, potatoes, beef, chicken, tomatoes, oranges, and eggs, and 10000 tons of purified water, how long will this amount of supplies last?
Even based on the average person's food intake in his previous life, it would only be enough to feed 100,000 people for a year and a few months.
After a hearty meal and drinks, Charlotte Linlin began to seriously discuss the future with Kaido.
"The Rocks Pirates are now practically defunct. No, given the personalities of those bastards, they've most likely disbanded completely. Kaido, what are you planning to do next?"
"Of course, it's about building a pirate crew from scratch that is completely under my control, obeys my orders completely, and is willing to die for me!"
Kaido took out 200 oranges from his system backpack as a snack after his meal.
"The specific approach is to first recruit some talented young talents in the West Blue, and then take them on a complete journey through the Grand Line."
"While taking them on adventures to broaden their horizons, we can also cultivate their abilities and loyalty, and incidentally continue to search for more young talents on the various islands along the way."
"We have plenty of time now, there's no need to rush to compete for the top spot within a year or two."
"Personally, I plan to build a complete and healthy force over the next ten or twenty years."
"Just like the world government and the navy."
"Even if an accident occurs in a war, resulting in heavy casualties."
"But as long as one of us survives, we can instantly raise a second army to launch a counterattack and seek revenge."
After listening to Kaido's story, Charlotte Linlin looked thoughtful.
"So, you're planning to establish a real pirate kingdom?"
"Hmm, that's not wrong. When the time comes, I will be the king, and you will be the queen!"
"Mommy, why can't I be the queen and you be the king?"
"You defeated opponent, do you really have any room for negotiation?"
Kaido sneered; the battle just now was a complete victory for him!
Charlotte Linlin's pretty face blushed instinctively, but she still stubbornly retorted, "At least for now, in terms of actual combat strength, you are no match for me!"
"You said it yourself, now! I'm capable of growing up!"
Kaido looked at her with a mocking expression.
"And you, with extraordinary talent that even I envy, have never been willing to work hard and have been wasting your time."
"If you want me to be the king's consort, you must be the queen."
"You need to be able to defeat me in at least one of the two aspects of strength!"
Upon hearing this, Charlotte Linlin couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Kaido had said similar things countless times, and she had heard them countless times.
Unfortunately, she never paid attention to it.
Now that Kaido has truly defeated her head-on in one of the battlefields, she is starting to regret her actions.
'I should have listened to my brat back then...'
'But it's not too late to start working hard now. I'm only 30 years old, I still have at least another ten years or so to grow...'
'Starting today, I really can't be lazy anymore.'
'If I really can't defeat Kaido in a direct battle in the future, my dream will be completely over!'
'My dream has always been to be the Queen of the Sea!'
'She was never the woman of some sea king!'
Of course, despite her inner regret, Charlotte Linlin would never show her true feelings on the surface.
"Okay, okay, I'll try my best to become stronger in the days to come."
Hearing the woman's usual perfunctory tone, Kaido remained noncommittal.
But deep down, he had also made a decision—
Even if it means using force, we must get this woman to unlock her full potential!
'To be able to defeat a giant elder at the age of 5, her theoretical potential is comparable to the legendary Joy Boy. The original Linlin was truly wasting her talent!'
Just as Kaido was pondering how to arrange special training for Charlotte Linlin, a sudden inspiration flashed through Charlotte Linlin's mind.
"By the way, Kaido, what do you think about us each starting our own pirate crew?"
"That way we can establish two pirate kingdoms!"
"At that time, we will help each other, and the World Government and the Navy will absolutely not dare to act rashly!"
"I don't think it's very good!!"
Kaido handed the peeled oranges to Charlotte Linlin and the flattered Selene.
"Only when you clench your five fingers into a fist will it hurt when you hit someone."
"With all five fingers spread out, the World Government could easily break one of them!"
"Don't underestimate the World Government and the Navy!"
"They have been able to rule this world for over 700 years; they must possess some kind of power that we don't know about!"
Upon hearing this, Charlotte Linlin instinctively looked at Selene.
This woman is now completely in Kaido's shape.
So Charlotte Linlin didn't hesitate to ask her directly.
"Aren't you a Celestial Dragon? You should know the secret to how you've ruled this world for so long, right?"
Selene pursed her red lips and ultimately shook her head.
"I do know some things, but I can't tell you."
"What did you say?!"
Charlotte Linlin's beautiful eyes widened.
"Do you even understand your own position now?!"
"I know very well!"
Selene stiffened her neck and stared at Charlotte Linlin.
"Kaido is my man now! I didn't say it out loud for Kaido's sake!!"
"You've only kidnapped me for now; the charges against you could be serious or minor."
"If I cooperate, the World Government will eventually just let this matter drop, just like countless other covered-up stories. I will become Kaido's woman under a completely new identity!"
"but!"
"If I tell you the secret, the World Government will never let this go!"
"Not only will the Navy Admirals hunt us down day and night!"
"You are indeed strong, able to withstand one or even two attacks, but can you withstand 10 or 20?!"
After a well-reasoned and logical rebuttal, Charlotte Linlin was left speechless.
Moreover, deep down, she still harbors a certain fear of the Celestial Dragons.
Otherwise, she should be angrily grabbing Selene by the neck right now, casting a soul spell, and asking her whether she wants to choose LIFE or TREAT.
Seeing that the first clash between the two women ended with Charlotte Linlin's poor speaking skills and her fear of Selene's Celestial Dragon status, Kaido shook his head inwardly.
This first wife still needs to be trained.
He has fighting prowess but lacks intelligence and courage.
What's there to be afraid of if we kill a mere captured Celestial Dragon?
However, Kaido also knew that the fear of the Celestial Dragons was deeply ingrained in this world. Back in God Valley, Charlotte Linlin was only thinking about grabbing the treasure and running away as soon as possible.
Moreover, even during the chaotic battles in the western theater, she never truly harmed a Celestial Dragon.
So let's take it slow, there's no rush, we have plenty of time.
"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. It's meaningless for us right now anyway."
Kaido threw an unpeeled orange directly into his mouth.
"Compared to this, don't you think we should go back to Beehive Island now?"
"Even if I have to start building a pirate crew from scratch, I still don't want to give up on Longbread, the head chef."
"And Lingling, that Longbread guy is your adoptive father! You haven't completely forgotten about him, have you?"
Charlotte Linlin's pretty face stiffened, revealing a hint of unease.
"Well... how could I possibly forget..."
Kaido couldn't help but roll his eyes.
'This woman...sigh...she has a long and arduous road ahead...'
A few minutes later.
A blue dragon soared into the sky from the deserted island, carrying two beautiful women, and flew swiftly towards the windless zone.
