Chapter 199: Focus, Obtain the Sun Fruit!
---
After a moment of silence, Charlotte Linlin returned to her chambers without another word.
She no longer had the patience to deal with Perospero or Pekoms. The looming threat of the Dragon Hunter Pirates gnawed at her instincts, and something about it felt... off.
Of course, Baron Tamago was completely ignored—as if he never existed.
Perospero wisely chose not to mention his missing men, or the dessert that never made it back from Fishman Island. One word too many, and Big Mom might have acted on impulse.
So, for now, he kept his mouth shut.
Back in her lavish bedroom, Charlotte Linlin sank onto her bed, the air unusually quiet.
A small chest, no larger than a suitcase, stepped forward on its tiny legs—an oddity, even by Whole Cake Island’s standards. It stopped by the bedside and popped open, revealing a Den Den Mushi inside.
She stared at it for a long moment.
"...It’s been a while," she murmured. "I wonder if he’ll even answer..."
The madness that usually clouded her gaze faded for a second—replaced by an unexpected flicker of nostalgia.
