The sea was eerily quiet as the remnants of the Big Mom Pirates adjusted their course, heading back towards Whole Cake Island. The weight of their recent loss hung heavily in the air, casting a somber shadow over the crew. Their once indomitable leader, Big Mom, was no more, leaving a gaping void in both their hearts and hierarchy.

"Smoothie, any sign of trouble ahead?" Daifuku's gruff voice broke the silence, his eyes scanning the horizon with suspicion.

"Nothing yet," Smoothie responded, her tone calm but cautious. "But we should stay alert. The seas are more dangerous than ever."

Their journey back was one of uncertainty, with Wano's borders now sealed and their future unclear. However, as they sailed further from Wano, the crew's senses sharpened, instinctively aware of a lurking threat.

Suddenly, on the edge of the horizon, shadows emerged—ships with the unmistakable markings of the World Government Navy. At the forefront stood Joseph of CP0, his cold, calculating gaze fixed on the Big Mom Pirates' vessel. His mission was clear: to invade wano and capture Nico Robin at all costs.

Joseph raised his hand, signaling the fleet to halt just out of cannon range. His voice, amplified by a Den Den Mushi, cut through the tense atmosphere.

"Charlotte Smoothie and remaining members of the Big Mom Pirates," Joseph's voice was as sharp as a blade, "you are now fugitives under the jurisdiction of the World Government. Surrender, or face the consequences."

Joseph's hand , prepared for either diplomacy or combat, depending on their next move.

A tense silence fell over the deck of the Big Mom Pirates' ship as Joseph's ultimatum echoed across the sea. The crew exchanged uneasy glances, their grip tightening on weapons and railings, the reality of their predicament sinking in.

Smoothie clenched her jaw, her eyes narrowing as she stepped forward, her towering frame casting a long shadow. She knew the gravity of their situation. Without Big Mom, their strength was diminished, but surrender was not an option.

"Daifuku, Galette," she spoke firmly, her voice cutting through the growing tension, "prepare for battle. We can’t let the World Government take us without a fight."

Daifuku summoned his genie, the massive figure materializing beside him with a menacing grin. "Let them come," he growled. "They’ll regret ever crossing paths with us."

Galette, standing nearby, nodded, her hands already slick with butter, ready to immobilize their enemies. "We might be down, but we’re not out. We fight for our family."

Mont-d'Or adjusted his glasses, his mind racing with strategies. "We need to be smart about this. They outnumber us and have the upper hand with CP0 here. We should consider retreating while we still can."

Before anyone could respond, Flampe's voice, tinged with fear but laced with determination, rang out. "Are we just going to run? Mama wouldn't want that! We should make them pay for what they’ve done!"

Smoothie turned, her gaze softening just slightly as she looked at Flampe. "We’ll make them pay, but we can’t do it if we’re captured. Right now, our priority is survival."

The crew nodded in grim agreement, their loyalty to their fallen leader unwavering. Effilée, Basskarte, Tablet, and Mobile all moved into positions, ready to defend their ship and their family.

As the World Government Navy ships closed in, Smoothie took a deep breath, her resolve hardening. She knew this fight could be their last, but if they were going down, they would go down as Big Mom Pirates.

"Raise the sails! Prepare for evasive maneuvers!" she ordered. "We’ll hit them fast and hard, then make our escape. No one gets left behind!"

With that, the Big Mom Pirates braced themselves for the coming clash, their hearts burning with the fire of revenge and survival.

The cool sea breeze brushed against your face as you slowly stirred awake, the sounds of the ocean and distant murmurs filtering into your consciousness. The wooden planks of the back dock beneath you creaked softly as the ship rocked with the waves. As your eyes fluttered open, the harsh storm momentarily blinded you before your vision adjusted, revealing the bustling activity on the deck above.

You groggily awaken, your body aching from the rough conditions of the back dock. The sounds of battle rage around you—clashing weapons, shouts of defiance, and the boom of cannons. As your senses come into focus, you see the chaotic dance of the Big Mom Pirates fending off the World Government Navy.

In the midst of the fray, Flampe catches sight of you stirring. Despite her small stature, she is fiercely engaged in the fight, her blowgun poised to strike at any approaching threat. Her eyes widen in surprise as she sees you rise, relief flickering across her face.

"You're awake!" Flampe calls out, her voice strained but determined. She darts over to your side, using the momentary lull to check on you. "We need every hand we can get! Can you fight?"

She looks at you with an urgency born of desperation, sweat trickling down her brow as the battle rages on behind her."The CP0 and the Navy are relentless. We can't hold them off for long without help."

Flampe’s eyes search yours, seeking reassurance and strength, hoping that your presence will turn the tide in their favor.

WHAT WILL YOU DO?

At Mary Geoise

Saint Jaygarcia Saturn: So Nika...

...finally emerged.

the other 4 were in disbelief

Saint Jaygarcia Saturn: I can't believe two Emperors of the Sea fell at the same time...

But from this point this news will already spread like wildfire.

Saint Jaygarcia Saturn: We can't cover this up.

The news will spread around the world in no time.

The timing couldn't be any worse!

he then looks at the other 4 for guidance on their next move.

Saint Jaygarcia Saturn: What should we do?

Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro thinks for a moment but remembers zou at this moment.

Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro: Zou...

on the other hand, World Government ships were sailing forward, preparing to invade and attack wano. While Joseph, was listening through the Gorosei's orders through his transponder snail.

Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro: spoken through Joseph's transponder snail Is it true that Zou disappeared? He asked Joseph.

Joseph (CP0): Yes. Slowly into fog.

What does that suggest?

Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro: He knows that the borders to wano have already closed. Then they won't open the borders! The Land of Wano will stay as an iron-tight fortress!

Saint Topman Warcury: I guess they changed the plan accordingly. Seems like someone smart is in charge.

Saint Marcus Mars: So it's impossible to take control of them by sending a big army!

But Saint Shepherd Ju Peter stood forward to give Joseph an order in a calm manner.

Saint Shepherd Ju Peter: Can you at least...

then the scene transitions back to Joseph

Saint Shepherd Ju Peter: spoken through Joseph's transponder snail ...bring back Nico Robin?

Joseph (CP0): I will!

then Joseph's transponder snail was was getting hijacked

Joseph (CPO): CP-0! CP-0!

upon the hijacked signal, he took a closer look at the transponder snail that was being hijacked.

Joseph (CPO): A jamming signal?

The Hijacking subsided as it was revealed to be Admiral Aramaki

Admiral Aramaki: spoken through Joseph's hijacked transponder snail You guys...

Joseph (CP0): Who are you?!

the hijacked stopped for a moment before glitching again as he spoke

Admiral Aramaki: spoken through Joseph's hijacked transponder snail Wait there! I'm heading your way!

The World Government ships were sailing to wano

On the other hand, on the big mom pirates ship

After the Big Mom Pirates' attempted raid on Wano which had failed, and after Trafalgar Law and Eustass Kid have killed Big Mom, the only remaining survivors are: Charlotte Smoothie, Charlotte Daifuku, Charlotte Galette, Charlotte Basskarte, Charlotte Tablet, Charlotte Mobile, Charlotte Effilée, Charlotte Mont-d'Or, and of course, Charlotte Flampe. Though they do know the bad news, that being the fact that Big Mom is dead. But with no one to lead the the next pathway to the island, they still don't know yet what to do. But with no option left, they have decided to head back to whole cake island.

The sea was eerily quiet as the remnants of the Big Mom Pirates adjusted their course, heading back towards Whole Cake Island. The weight of their recent loss hung heavily in the air, casting a somber shadow over the crew. Their once indomitable leader, Big Mom, was no more, leaving a gaping void in both their hearts and hierarchy.

You start to toss and turn around on a hammock of a cabin.

Inside the dimly lit, spacious cabin of the Big Mom Pirates' ship, you lay restless on a plush, velvet-covered bed. The gentle rocking of the ship as it sailed across the vast ocean did little to soothe your troubled sleep. Vivid dreams and fragmented memories of the recent battles on Wano flickered through your mind's eye - the titanic clash between Luffy and Kaido, the devastating raid on the Beasts Pirates' castle, and the shocking revelation of Luffy's awakening.

As you tossed and turned, your subconscious mind seemed to pick up on the somber atmosphere permeating the ship, the whispers of the crew members outside the cabin carrying a heavy weight of grief and uncertainty. The once boisterous laughter and carefree chatter that usually filled the vessel was replaced by a palpable silence, broken only by the occasional muffled sob or hushed conversation.

On the deck of the Big Mom Pirates' ship, the remaining high-ranking officers of the Charlotte family patrolled in a somber and tense atmosphere. The once vibrant and boisterous group was now subdued, the weight of their recent losses and the uncertainty of their future hanging heavily over them.

Charlotte Smoothie, the eldest of the siblings present, walked with a stoic and focused expression, her eyes scanning the horizon as if searching for answers. She had taken it upon herself to keep the remnants of their crew together, but the task proved to be a daunting challenge.

Beside her, Charlotte Daifuku and Charlotte Galette engaged in a hushed conversation, their voices barely above a whisper as they discussed the possibility of crowning a new leader. However, the mere mention of the topic seemed to fill them with a sense of unease and trepidation.

Further along the deck, Charlotte Basskarte and Charlotte Tablet stood apart from the group, their arms crossed and their gazes fixed on the turbulent waters below. The sisters seemed lost in their own thoughts, grappling with the reality of their mother's death and the void it left behind.

Meanwhile, Charlotte Mobile, Charlotte Effilée, and Charlotte Mont-d'Or huddled together near the ship's wheel, their faces etched with a mix of sadness and confusion.

Charlotte Flampe, the youngest and usually the most energetic, now moved with a slow, heavy gait, her eyes downcast and her shoulders slumped.

As the ship sailed on, the atmosphere remained heavy and somber, the weight of their recent losses, the members of the Charlotte family each lost themselves in their own thoughts and memories. For so long, their mother had been the driving force behind their lives and ambitions. Now, without her guidance and leadership, they found themselves adrift and uncertain. Yet the uncertainty of their future looming over the remnants of the Charlotte family like a dark cloud. The once feared and respected pirates now seemed to be adrift at sea, searching for a new purpose and a way to honor their mother's legacy.
