Chapter 142 Pay Off The Debt
Among the ruins of the island.
The Charlotte family has all finished treating and bandaging each other at this moment, and everyone is more or less wrapped in bandages.
Charlotte. Linlin looked at the children in front of her who were trying their best to treat her. She was touched in her heart and said with rare gentleness: "No need to worry about it anymore. I know my situation best. Time is running out!"
But the daughters who helped bandage her still refused to stop, wiping away tears and continuing to work.
"It won't be like this, Mom!" Many children burst into tears.
Even the older children, Katakuri, Perospero, and Compert, had tears in their eyes and were filled with sadness.
Upon seeing this, Charlotte. Linlin immediately scolded with a straight face: "Don't cry! You all have the noble blood of the Charlotte family, and you must not cry like weaklings!"
Everyone immediately tried their best to control their emotions, but they still couldn't stop sobbing and choking. There was no other reason. In front of them was the biological mother of all of them and the only head of the entire family.
Charlotte. Linlin said sternly: "I am issuing the last order now! You all must abide by it!"
Everyone's expressions immediately became serious.
Charlotte. Linlin said slowly: "As the patriarch of the Charlotte family, I announce the appointment of the second son, Charlotte Katakuri, as the successor patriarch. All family members, regardless of age, must obey absolutely!"
"Follow your mother's orders!" Everyone, including the eldest son Perospero, responded in unison.
Katakuri also had no objection at the moment.
Charlotte. Linlin looked at her most outstanding son and said: "Katakuri, I entrust your brothers and sisters to your hands! I believe you will never let me and them down!"
Katakuri suppressed his emotions and said: "No need to say more, mother!"
Charlotte. Linlin then showed a happy smile.
At this time, a daughter of the Charlotte family stepped forward and couldn't help but cry: "Mom, we will obey everything you say! I just ask you not to leave us, we can't live without you!"
The other young children could no longer restrain themselves and started crying.

The other side of the island.
Kaido had already turned into a human body and landed on the ground, and Jhin was walking towards him at this time. Neither of them suffered serious injuries in this battle.
Jhin said respectfully: "Mr. Kaido, the BIG.MOM pirates are now with BIG.MOM. It seems that she is dying!"
Kaido frowned slightly at this moment and sighed: "Linlin is getting old after all. Originally, Laozi hoped to join forces with her to take over the world. What a pity for her strength!"
Jhin continued to ask: "Then do we need to change the plan for coming?"
Kaido was silent for a moment and said: "Let's send that old woman off first! She has a close relationship with me and deserves Laozi's respect!"
——————
When they saw the two Kaidos approaching, for some reason, the BIG.MOM pirates who fought side by side not long ago became wary.
Kaido ignored the others at all, but looked at Charlotte. Linlin's miserable state and asked calmly: "Is it finally time for you to leave? Time is really not forgiving, Linlin!"
When Charlotte. Linlin looked at him, she regained her stern face again and said with a smile: "Well, well, who says it's not the case! Whitebeard and Shiki have also left the show, and the old guys from Rocks Pirate are now gone. You’re the only one left!”
"It seems that from now on, it will be your time! Kaido!"
Kaido also sincerely sighed: "If we can join forces, we can rule the world in the blink of an eye! Unfortunately, it is no longer possible!"
Charlotte. Linlin sneered: "You also know this is impossible! What we couldn't do in the same boat back then will be even more impossible after we break up!"
Kaido retorted: "Who says it's impossible? Didn't our two families successfully form a pirate alliance? Although the results are not satisfactory now, as soon as I received your message for help, Laozi came without a moment's delay! "
At this time, Charlotte. Linlin's expression turned gloomy, and she sneered: "I'm already about to die, so you don't need to tell me such lies!"
"Do you think I don't know? Are you really here in such a hurry just for me as an ally? You are actually here for the text of history!"
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became subtle.
The members of the Charlotte family all looked at each other with frightened and alert expressions.
But Kaido and Jhin looked indifferent and noncommittal.
Kaido was silent for a moment and said: "But I also came here sincerely to help you fight off the enemy. It's too ugly to say this! Old woman!"
Charlotte. Linlin didn't care, and continued to say coldly: "Of course you don't want Marine to destroy me. In this case, the historical text of the road sign you are thinking about will fall into the hands of the World government. By that time, if you want to become One Piece, it’s even more difficult!”
What she didn't know was that Kaido already had a rubbing version of her historical text, but he still wanted to recover the original stone, so as to ensure that the road sign information was unique to him.
Charlotte. Linlin saw that the other party no longer bothered to deny it, his expression changed, and he changed his words and said: "I can give you the historical text, as long as you agree to one condition!"
"Let's talk and listen!" Kaido completely shed his disguise at this moment and his attitude became indifferent.
Charlotte. Linlin said calmly: "The condition is that you must let go of these children of mine!"
"Mom!" Everyone else was also shocked.
Kaido smiled and said: "Oh, what kind of conditions are these! Although you are no longer here, your pirate group is still my ally, and of course I will take good care of them for you!"
"I will not let my child become a stepping stone or victim of your ambition!" The other party refused to give in.
"You know I can actually grab it, don't make it too difficult for me, Linlin!" Kaido looked cold.
Charlotte. Linlin sneered: "Of course you can, you have done this kind of thing before! But if you add the favor you owe me, it will be enough!"
Kaido frowned and said, "How many times are you going to tell this old story?"
"It's not that easy to repay a debt of gratitude, Kaido! What's more, this is a huge favor to you! Without the Devil Fruit I gave you, would you be able to achieve what you are today? At least it would be difficult. Quite a few!”
Kaido gritted his teeth and stared at her, looking at the other party's determined eyes, and finally said: "Then let's make the deal! Don't tell me that Laozi doesn't miss the old relationship at all, now we are settled!"
