Pirate: Role-Playing System

Chapter 168: The Surrender of the BIGMOM Pirates! (Second Update Requested)

Gilgamesh raised his sword, about to strike.

Everyone widened their eyes—could it be that the Four Emperors were about to meet their demise?

But in the next second, Gilgamesh's arm froze.

In front of him stood a little girl.

With open arms, in a protective posture, she shielded the true Lot Linlin.

It was Pudding!

She also participated in this battle, but somehow, she had gotten so close to the front lines.

"Little girl, what are you planning to do?" Gilgamesh calmly looked at her.

Pudding couldn't help but swallow her saliva, take a deep breath, and said, "We surrender."

"Hmm?" Gilgamesh was stunned, as were the others.

"We surrender. I am the 35th daughter of Mama! I want to represent the BIGMOM Pirates and surrender to you, the '777'!" Pudding spoke in a deep voice, under the astonished gazes of everyone.

"My Charlotte family admits defeat. If we continue fighting, we will all die, but your subordinates will also suffer some losses. Why bother?"

"Although Mama has lost an arm, she can still wear a prosthetic and still has some fighting power."

"The BIGMOM Pirates are also one of the Four Emperors' pirate crews, with considerable strength. We are willing to surrender to you, just like Kaido!"

Pudding's voice wasn't loud, but in the suddenly quiet battlefield, it was clearly audible.

Listening to the crisp voice of the eight-year-old girl, the members of the BIGMOM Pirates couldn't help but fall into silence.

If they continued fighting like this, they would die!

They would all die. That man could easily defeat Mama and then kill everyone else!

If they wanted to live, they had to surrender!

Surrender was the only option left!

"Interesting." Gilgamesh squinted his eyes, looking at Pudding, who had a touch of stubbornness, pretended calmness, and a hint of uncontrollable panic in her eyes.

Although Pudding's words were few, they were logical.

First, she stated her identity, then she mentioned the losses that would occur if they continued fighting on Gilgamesh's side, and finally, she clearly explained the benefits of accepting their surrender.

At the same time, she also extended a lifeline to their own people—If Kaido can surrender, why can't we?

Why die when we can live?

Gilgamesh clearly saw that the members of the BIGMOM Pirates and the Charlotte family were somewhat moved.

The BIGMOM Pirates were a pirate crew centered around family bloodlines. Charlotte Linlin gave birth to a total of 39 daughters and 46 sons.

Of course, that was a matter for the future; there weren't that many yet.

But it was still centered around bloodlines, centered around family bonds.

Even though Charlotte Linlin was cruel, family bonds were always difficult to give up.

This made it difficult for them to shout things like, "I won't surrender, you bunch of useless people, why can't we fight to the death?"

Most of the other powerful subordinates were also somewhat related to the Charlotte family, with some blood ties, just like the future Fire Tank Pirates and Sun Pirates.

Although not every pair was so loving, it still made it difficult for them to have the will to fight to the death.

Of course, although many people could understand this, there were very few who could think it through and take action in the moment of Big Mom's defeat.

As for Pudding... she's quite interesting indeed!

Gilgamesh's mouth curled up, asking knowingly.

"Little girl, what's your name?"

Pudding was taken aback, then whispered, "My name is Charlotte Pudding."

"Very well, then can you tell me if you can represent her?" Gilgamesh pointed his sword down, pointing towards Charlotte Linlin.

Pudding's face stiffened. How could she have the ability to make Charlotte Linlin listen to her?

But...

"Of course, my mother listens to me the most, after all, I am her favorite daughter," Pudding said in a deep voice, full of confidence.

She was confident that outsiders would not know her true relationship with Charlotte Linlin.

Pudding is a mixed-blood child born to Charlotte Linlin and the Three-Eyed Tribe, with a main eye.

When she was a child, she was often bullied by other children because of her third eye, and even her mother, Charlotte Linlin, found her disgusting and ordered her to cover her third eye with bangs.

Favorite daughter?

More like the most hated!

And even if she is the favorite daughter, so what?

When Charlotte Linlin gets angry, she kills even her own son!

...

How many people know about this?

She deliberately showed a confident look. If it weren't for Zhao Xu knowing her true situation, she might really be deceived...

But...

Gilgamesh pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Very well, I accept your submission."

"Our king?" Doflamingo and others exclaimed.

He actually made the Four Emperors submit?

Isn't he afraid of Charlotte Linlin rebelling?

"It doesn't matter," Gilgamesh waved his hand. "If they dare to rebel, they will be completely eliminated."

"After all..."

"Those who don't appreciate even my kindness have no right to live in this world!"

His words were unreserved, but they left Doflamingo and others speechless.

He casually severed Charlotte Linlin's arm, causing her to faint.

But Gilgamesh himself didn't even lose a single hair!

How many people dare to resist such a power gap?

"Drop your weapons," Gilgamesh ordered directly to the crew of the Big Mom Pirates. "I command you to drop your weapons and accept the custody of my subordinates."

"Although I spared your lives because of my kindness, it doesn't mean that your current wealth will also receive my protection."

Shiryu and others have been fighting for so long, they also need rewards!

And these rewards, obviously, will come from the Big Mom Pirates!

Of course, there are also the Devil Fruits that Gilgamesh needs.

After a moment of silence, someone dropped their weapon first, followed by a series of weapons falling to the ground.

The bond of blood ties made even some strong individuals who could have escaped ultimately drop their weapons and wait to be imprisoned.

Pudding let out a long sigh of relief. She didn't actually have much affection for Charlotte Linlin, but that didn't mean she didn't cherish her own life!

Surrender... at least she could save her own life!

But before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, she heard Gilgamesh say, "Little girl, you should temporarily follow me!"

"Huh?" Pudding was instantly stunned.
