One Piece : Prince of Charlotte Family

"hiss--" 

"Is this the legendary Golden City?" 

"Unbelievable..." 

Two days later. 

Deep in the forest, 

In a Red line submerged by a sea of clouds with no visible edge. 

As Wilhelm directly ordered the God's Guard to clear the large sea of clouds, the former ruins of the Island of Gods slowly revealed their true form. 

Many couldn't believe their eyes as they gazed upon the dazzling "Golden City"—covered with moss, aged by countless years of precipitation, and seemingly saturated with gold. 

Smoothie, Strong, and Simon couldn't help but gape, 

their faces etched with profound shock. 

"No wonder Wilhelm wants to rule directly over Sky Island..." 

Grabbing a golden scepter, Strong examined it with awe, twirling it between her fingers. 

"If these treasures are brought back to Cake Island, Mom will definitely be overjoyed..." Simon said with excitement. "At that point, look at Big Brother Perospero and Katakuri, those arrogant fools—see if they dare to underestimate us again!" 

"No, these things—" 

Smoothie interrupted with a calm tone, 

taking a deep breath. 

"Wilhelm may have other plans," she said thoughtfully. "Listen to his arrangement!" 

Unlike others, Smoothie could sense the subtle difference. While Wilhelm may outwardly show respect to their mother, Charlotte Linlin, he harbored no genuine reverence—not even close. 

She believed Wilhelm's actions had a deeper purpose, especially after subduing Gan Fall and the other Sky Island gods. 

Regardless of his intentions, Smoothie was unwavering in her trust and support for her younger brother. 

Even if it meant defying their mother's orders. 

"Too…" 

Simon nodded thoughtfully, 

her expression shifting as she looked around. 

"By the way, where is Wilhelm…" 

Suddenly— 

A massive bell tower appeared before them. 

The golden pendulum swung, striking the massive golden clock. 

"Golden Bell?" 

"That's... the main text of history!" 

"Unbelievable... the legend is indeed true!" 

The sound of the bell, resonating through the sky with a purity that seems to cleanse the soul, filled the air. 

The three sisters stood stunned, 

their eyes wide with shock and awe. 

They all turned to the unbelievably handsome silver-white figure standing atop the clock tower. 

"Don't worry too much," Wilhelm said calmly. "They don't have long legs; they can't run." 

He spoke with a sense of detachment, unaware of Smoothie's growing suspicion of his intentions. 

In fact, Wilhelm didn't reject the Charlotte family. 

On the contrary, he intended to steer the BIG-MOM Pirates into a more structured path, ensuring rapid growth and development of their power. 

Using the Red line treasures they discovered to fuel the BIG-MOM Pirates was part of his plan—building his own strength and influence within the crew. 

Why would he hesitate? 

However, along the way, cleaning out any disobedient members might be necessary. 

As for Charlotte Linlin… 

In Wilhelm's mind, she was merely a tool, perfect but disposable. 

Once he had amassed enough strength, he would carefully craft an image for himself—one that would establish him as a figure to unite the Charlotte family, offering a future far brighter than what their current "mother" could provide. 

A cruel, violent, ruthless, and unstable woman, obsessed with desserts, who destroys without thought and treats her children like tools to be controlled, would eventually be replaced by someone with vision, intelligence, and unity—someone who could lead the family to greatness. 

The affection the Charlotte children felt for their "mother" was evident in their fear, not respect. 

But it was still early days. 

Before he had the means to challenge Charlotte Linlin directly, 

Wilhelm wasn't in a hurry. 

There was no need for immediate confrontation.

Anyway, in the end, it's just about dominance on Cake Island. If you don't interfere with yourself, you can say whatever you like.

Of course, if you want to fight against the World Government and achieve your great ambitions, it's not enough to rely solely on those members of the Charlotte family.

He still needs to make another plan to gather and train more combatants loyal to him.

"Master Wilhelm!" 

Gan Fall approached quickly.

Looking at these ruins, he felt overwhelmed with shock.

It was hard not to feel a mix of emotions—bitter and complicated.

They had occupied this place for hundreds of years but never discovered its true treasures.

Yet, people from the Blue Sea, who had only been here for less than a day, found this place.

"Do you know where Birka is?" Wilhelm asked directly.

He wasn't sure if the future Thor Enel had obtained the Logia Thunder Fruit at this time.

But that didn't matter.

As long as Birka's location is found, the chance of finding the Logia Thunder Fruit will be greater.

He sincerely hoped that the other party had already gained the fruit's power.

That way, with the ability to transfer the fruit, it would be easier to take away its power.

He didn't want to wait another ten or twenty years.

The top Logia abilities are undoubtedly the best fit for Smoothie.

From the very beginning, Wilhelm had seen Smoothie, an exceptionally talented sister far superior to the rest of the Charlotte family, as his future right-hand to train.

If they could truly obtain the Logia Thunder Fruit, with her strength, she might one day stand among the world's top powerhouses.

"Birka?" Hearing this, Gan Fall couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The three sisters, Smoothie, Strong, and Simon, turned their heads, surprised and curious.
