Chapter 284 Charlotte's Plan

boom! ~

Bang! ~

boom! ——

Three dull and loud crashing sounds were heard in succession, echoing over the sky thousands of miles above the maple and locust trees, startling the birds in the locust tree forest.

Looking around, Barrett was lying on the broken mountains with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth and his whole body was in a mess. He was weak and his face was full of grievance and confusion.

He could not understand from beginning to end why he suffered three huge blows inexplicably just because he went to the lakeside villa to show off his mastery of the power.

The blood-red one is the Red Count's, the dark blue one is Mr. Lex's, and the dreamy one is Captain Roy's.

With mixed feelings, Barrett went to the lakeside villa again, but this time he was very low-key, so low-key that no one paid attention to him after he entered the door.

Barrett huddled in a corner of the living room, watching Lex and Roy discussing the world situation. Stussy occasionally added some important information, and the Red Earl listened quietly. No one looked at Barrett.

For a moment, it seemed as if the whole world had isolated Barrett.

An hour later, Lex and Roy finished their conversation.

Lex then turned to look at Barrett with a smile in his eyes, and Roy did the same. Stussy was observing Barrett curiously, but the two of them were not familiar with each other.

Lex spoke first:

"Oh~ You've mastered the art of dominance. Not bad. You must be 18 this year."

Lex smiled.

Barrett thought Lex was praising him, so he nodded quickly.

But the next moment——

Barrett heard Lex say:

"Second brother."

Roy immediately responded:

"Ah."

"I heard that there has been some local conflict in the New World recently?"

The tacit understanding between the brothers made Roy understand instantly, and he immediately replied:

"Yes, it's from Wanguo Totland. Big Mom wants to make her own cross-sea trade chain independent from our unified control. According to the intelligence from her informants, she has secretly formed an alliance with Paradise and some forces in the North Sea, and wants to expand her power outside the New World."

Lex nodded slightly and continued to ask:

"However, Big Mom's power alone shouldn't be enough to be so presumptuous, right?"

"Indeed, so she also contacted Kaido, but Kaido seems to be trying to conquer Wano Country recently, so he only agreed to provide combat support to BIG MOM at a critical moment."

Speaking of this, Roy couldn't help but sigh:

"It is indeed as Admiral Golden Lion told me in private, Big Mom is not someone who is willing to be subservient to others. The New World has only been at peace for five years, and during these five years, Big Mom has earned a huge amount of wealth and resources. However, even so, she still wants to break away from us, but she doesn't dare to confront us head-on, so she can only use the trade chain to transfer power in secret."

The great pirates who experienced the Rocks era all emerged from blood and rain, and no one is willing to submit to anyone else. Even if they may be temporarily inferior to others due to overwhelming strength, once the time is ripe, they will immediately reveal their true colors and begin to show their fangs and claws.

The Red Earl did not comment throughout the entire process, but when he heard this, he suddenly spoke in a cold voice:

"Then kill Lingling. The sea of ​​Lex doesn't need a crazy woman."

As for Kaido, he is not even worthy of the Red Earl mentioning his name.

Stussy, who was standing by, was shocked when he heard the sound.

She has a very good personal relationship with BIG MOM and can even be said to be an important partner of BIG MOM in New World. She often attends BIG MOM's wedding ceremonies and tea parties.

But because of this, Stussy is more aware than ordinary people of the strength of Charlotte's family and the power of BIG MOM.

Although for Lex, Charlotte Linlin might be easily killed.

But when these words came out of the Red Earl's mouth, it sounded as if killing Charlotte Lingling was easier than killing a chicken.

Is this the value of the legendary pirate, Rex's mentor? Stussy sighed secretly.

After hearing his master's advice, Lex thought about it carefully and then thought of something:

"There is no need to do it now. Big Mom and Kaido still have value in existence. The Bankoku Factory and the Hundred Beasts Factory will produce a large amount of arms for us every year. Moreover, if we kill Big Mom and Kaido now, it will cause chaos that is not beneficial to us. I have arrangements for these two people."

Lex was right.

As for Charlotte Lingling, he had made plans five years ago.

As Lex's think tank and second brother, Roy certainly knew about this plan, so he said:

"Arrangements? Moriah, right? He has been doing very well in the Charlotte Family recently. He gave Big Mom two children with demon blood. Moriah is also quite powerful. His status in the Charlotte Family is second only to Katakuri."

At the Pentles Wan Expo five years ago, Moria was auctioned as a rare slave. In the free lottery, she was "coincidentally" drawn by Big Mom and became Big Mom's slave. After returning to the Wan Kingdom, she immediately got married on the spot and became Charlotte Linlin, the twelfth husband of Big Mom.

Later, he brought two offspring of the demon clan to BIG MOM, completing the puzzle of Totland of the World. At the same time, he is very powerful, and his Shadow-Shadow Fruit is close to awakening, which makes him deeply trusted by BIG MOM.

However, what the world does not know is that long before Moriah was auctioned at the World Expo, Lex had already tampered with Moriah. He used Figni's memory fruit to tamper with Moriah's memory, allowing him to take root deeply in the Charlotte family as Lex's undercover!

As long as the time is right and BIG MOM is killed, by joining forces with Katakuri, who is loved by everyone in the Charlotte family, and Moria, who has been rooted in the Charlotte family for many years, they will be able to take over the entire Charlotte family without bloodshed!

Roy knew the whole story.

Lex put down the teacup in his hand and continued:

"Although we have already made plans, we can't let Big Mom indulge herself too much. How about this, Barrett? You go to Totland and challenge Big Mom to a fight."

“Ah?!~”

Barrett didn't react for a moment.

Roy smiled and explained for Barrett:

"Barrett, as the most talented young generation in our huge force, you have now mastered the King's Haki Entanglement, and all three colors of Haki have reached a good level of accomplishment, which is considered to be an emperor-level combat power. I ask you to teach Charlotte Linling a lesson. Although it is impossible to completely suppress her, you only need to stand there and show your strength, which is enough to make Charlotte Linling afraid. Because you are a new generation, if a few of us go, we can certainly defeat Charlotte Linling, but the effect will not be as good as you, a powerful new generation. At the same time, this is also your battle to become famous."

Barrett is certainly not afraid of Charlotte Lingling. In his eyes, except Lex, there is no one he cannot defeat.

However, Barrett also knew that he was probably no match for that crazy woman now, after all, he was too young.

So, he asked weakly:

"Um, can I find someone else to teach Kaido a lesson?"

Compared to the crazy woman BIG MOM, Barrett still thinks Kaido is easier to beat. With his current combat power, beating a not-so-powerful young version of Kaido is as easy as taking candy from a sack.

Lex smiled slightly:

"No."

Barrett's face suddenly turned awkward, but he still agreed.
