Starting as a Roger Pirates Apprentice

Chapter 527: Wedding Preparations, Orin’s Adopted Son and Big Mom’s Daughter

Take over the "world"???

Hearing Linlin’s wildly ambitious words, Orin didn’t show much reaction, just took another sip of black tea.

Not bad—pretty sweet.

But Big Mom is the type who says whatever comes to mind. She clasped her two short little hands in front of her chest and leaned her head toward the quietly seated Orin.

"Hey, hey, what do you think? This proposal is great, right?!"

"That’s Rocks!!!"

"Anyone who’s ever stayed with that guy would end up having ambitions like this, wouldn’t they?!"

Seemingly completely unaware that her big face being so close might make Orin think something, Linlin said with a smile,

"And Orin, you definitely aren’t the same as Captain Rocks. You must have a way to deal with that ’monster,’ right?"

"That World Government’s..."

"Hey, Linlin."

Before Big Mom could finish, Orin put down his teacup and cut her off calmly.

"You’re already at this age. Why can’t you just settle down a bit?"

"Like Newgate, you’re already a remnant of the old era, aren’t you?"

Looking at the woman in front of him—the "world’s strongest woman" who was already over sixty and close to seventy—Orin could only sigh that people grow old but their hearts don’t.

Still thinking about ruling the world at this age?

"Mamamamama~ But the World Government doesn’t think very highly of you either right now, does it, Orin?"

Big Mom spoke as if she were holding all the cards, pointing out that Orin’s relationship with the World Government wasn’t great.

"And that ’Sadgeo’—you don’t think I know nothing about it, do you?"

"Don’t underestimate me. I was in the Rocks Pirates too, and I know what Rocks said—the Devil Fruit that can change the world’s balance..."

Big Mom stared hard at Orin’s calm, tea-drinking profile and spoke in a sinister tone.

"I’m right, aren’t I? You actually have that intention—to deal with the existence that even dominated Rocks."

Even if Big Mom didn’t really understand what the inheritances of Joy Boy and Davy Jones specifically meant, she vaguely knew they were two key figures to deal with Imu.

Sadgeo, as the being synthesized by Orin and inheriting the traits of both, was born with the mission of opposing Imu.

That made Linlin think that Orin actually intended to inherit Rocks’s will and become the king of the world.

And as for Linlin’s own dream, she wanted to become the woman who is king of the world.

So...

"I don’t have that intention at all."

Orin decisively cut off her line of thought.

Have you ever seen the screenwriter personally go on stage to act?

Even if there is, it’s just for entertainment.

He could be a boss, but he wouldn’t personally go fight the boss.

"Let’s talk about something more practical in front of us. This wedding is really making a big splash~"

As far as Orin knew, the face this wedding was showing was no small thing—many big shots from the underworld were coming to attend.

Although they weren’t coming for Big Mom’s sake but because Sanji was Orin’s adopted son, it was still weighty enough.

"Yeah~ And the Vinsmoke family’s technology is also a rare and invaluable boost for Totto Land~"

Linlin said happily, stuffing a cream puff tower like a small mountain into her mouth in one bite.

"What’s wrong? As the father, are you unwilling?"

Orin shook his head.

"No... Sanji will probably be very willing, but he’s a member of the Straw Hat Pirates. Maybe Straw Hat Luffy will come looking for trouble, you know~"

"That Straw Hat kid... Luffy?"

Big Mom thought for a moment and remembered that rookie pirate.

"So it’s him—Garp’s grandson."

The grandson of that iron-fisted bastard who chased her around in the Valley of the Gods like some kind of demon.

"I know him. He’s Sadgeo’s defeated opponent, right?"

Big Mom had once met Sadgeo.

It was not long ago. Driving Noah and commanding an ultra-giant Sea King and many races, Sadgeo had arrived in Totto Land waters in a grand procession.

Big Mom had a brief clash with him, barely counting as evenly matched.

After all, both of them were among the Yonko and relatively ordinary existences.

Although Linlin’s talent was outstanding, she didn’t seem to devote herself to growing stronger. Instead, she let her body grow wildly.

Take physique as an example—true masters of hand-to-hand combat wouldn’t turn themselves into a big fat person.

Linlin’s Haki and combat ability were simply a matter of good natural talent plus lots of combat experience.

Against someone like Garp, she could only throw around flames and lightning. She didn’t really have any effective way to break through defenses, and you could even say she wasn’t very good at Conqueror’s Haki Infusion.

She was the kind whose strength ranked quite far back among the Yonko.

And Sadgeo, without mastering Conqueror’s Haki Infusion or Devil Fruit awakening, with his current dual Devil Fruits plus Haki foundation, was also just an ordinary Yonko.

As for a rookie like Straw Hat Luffy,

Even if he was Garp’s grandson, in Big Mom’s eyes he was nothing special.

"Is that so? As long as you’re confident~"

Orin finished the dessert, feeling very satisfied, and then suggested going to take a look at the wedding arrangements.

Linlin, as the bride’s side’s parent, naturally wouldn’t refuse such a request. She laughed happily and had her subordinates take Orin to tour Cake Island.

...

On the other side,

The Germa 66 Kingdom’s warship—at this moment, the Vinsmoke family’s convoy had arrived at Cake Island.

Sanji, wearing a red cape and a white shirt, appeared here as a member of royalty.

He covered his forehead with his hand, his face clouded.

He didn’t want to be here either, but the title of Yonko made him feel suffocated, especially since Zeff was being used as a means to threaten him.

If he tried to run away, the explosive cuffs on his hands would blow his hands apart, and he’d never be able to cook again.

But now that things had come to this, there was nothing he could do.

Sanji silently lit a cigarette for himself, looked up at the sky, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

With the Straw Hat Pirates’ current strength, it was absolutely impossible to defeat a Yonko. The Germa family was also threatening Zeff’s life, and not to mention his mother Sora’s safety.

So be it—marriage is marriage...

But if he had to say what possible turning point still existed now, it would be his father.

The father Sanji meant wasn’t Judge, but his adoptive father.

And right at this moment, a stretched rubber arm directly grabbed the door frame of the carriage and came right in front of them.

"Sanji, I found you!!!"

"You know, I was going to come alone, but Nami insisted on coming with me..."

Luffy went on chattering about the journey with a big grin, but Sanji clenched his teeth.

Bang—

Following Orin’s tradition of kicking people in the face first, Luffy was sent flying.

Sanji said with a dark face,

"Get lost, lowly pirates."

"I am... the adopted son of ’Black Gun’!!!"
