"Bastard, a mere loser dares to challenge Link's authority. I shall go and finish him off."
The news of Doflamingo's defeat instantly spread throughout the world.
Because he was a former Celestial Dragon and the World Government still had use for him, Doflamingo became the first to be defeated whose news was not covered up, and he was not stripped of his status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
But when this news reached the ears of Carina and the other women, Hancock and the Gorgon Sisters immediately flew into a rage, wanting to leave Amazon Lily to finish off the three sworn brothers.
"I'm going too."
Nami immediately raised her hand in agreement, her face also filled with anger.
Doflamingo's defeat was not just a loss of face for him; it was an indirect slap in the face to Link.
Everyone in the world knew that Doflamingo was under Link's protection, the public face of the Impaler Pirates.
Even the Pirate Emperors dared not casually offend Doflamingo, and the World Government and the Marines had to give him face.
Now, a mere super rookie and a loser who had been beaten into obscurity by Teach actually dared to challenge the flag of the Impaler Pirates. They simply didn't know the meaning of death.
At this moment, Carina and the other women had all added the three sworn brothers to their death list.
Just as Carina and the women were preparing to depart to take the heads of the three sworn brothers and make an example of them for the world to see, Link's figure suddenly appeared out of thin air.
Link, in his Six Paths Sage Mode, said with a light laugh, "There's no need to go looking for them. Those guys will come to us. We can deal with them slowly then."
"Link, have you stabilized your power!?"
Seeing Link emerge from his seclusion, Carina and Nami扑扑扑 into his arms with joyful surprise.
"Yes, I've familiarized myself with my new abilities."
Link held one in each arm and smiled meaningfully, "And just in time, some test subjects have delivered themselves to my door. When the time comes, I'll let you see my new powers."
"Alright, alright..."
Carina and Nami immediately cheered.
Having followed Link for two and a half years, Carina and Nami's worldviews had long been influenced by him.
They still held kindness for civilians in their hearts, but any benevolence towards their enemies had long since vanished.
If it weren't for Aphelandra's ability to steal people's hearts, Carina and the others would have already caused countless deaths.
After all, as the highest-ranking officers of the world's strongest pirate crew, they would not show mercy to their enemies.
Even if Link didn't act, they would go and kill the three sworn brothers themselves.
As for Link treating them as test subjects, they couldn't be more in favor, raising both hands and feet in agreement.
Thus, Carina ordered Violet to use the power of the Paramecia-type Glare-Glare Fruit to find and monitor the three sworn brothers, keeping their movements in hand.
Soon, Violet found the three sworn brothers with her clairvoyance and reported their every move to Carina and the others in real-time.
After defeating Doflamingo, Sabo and Ace had temporarily joined Luffy's crew to prevent the Impaler Pirates from clearing a path for Luffy.
At the same time, they were escorting Momonosuke and his two companions to Zou to find their last separated comrade, Raizo.
Along the way, Izo, the former 16th Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, somehow learned of Momonosuke's situation, found Ace using a Vivre Card, and joined their group.
Marco also followed Izo, and Momonosuke's team of bodyguards instantly grew stronger.
Since Reiju and Pudding had both become Link's women, the marriage alliance between Germa 66 and the Charlotte Family from the original story never happened, so Sanji did not leave the crew.
And because the Beasts Pirates had been eliminated by Link, Zou was not attacked by Jack.
Momonosuke very smoothly found Raizo and at the same time gained the support of Zou, preparing to reclaim the sovereignty of Wano Country.
"Kozuki Momonosuke, Kozuki?"
"With that surname, what is the relationship between this brat and Kozuki Hiyori?"
Hearing this name, Carina and the others couldn't help but turn their gazes to Link, who was currently teaching Reiju the specific way to write characters while enjoying the taste of her fiery lips, and asked without any shame.
Such things were already a daily occurrence.
Link didn't hide anything either, saying, "Kozuki Momonosuke is Hiyori's older brother."
"Older brother?"
Carina and Nami were stunned for a moment, then looked at the equally surprised Violet and said, "No, isn't Kozuki Momonosuke just a child of a few years old? How could he be Kozuki Hiyori's older brother?"
"He is a child, I didn't see it wrong," Violet said with certainty.
Link explained with a smile, "Violet didn't see it wrong. Kozuki Momonosuke is indeed Hiyori's older brother. The reason he's a child now is because not long ago, he was sent here from twenty years in the past by the user of the Paramecia-type Time-Time Fruit."
"Twenty years ago?!"
"Paramecia-type Time-Time Fruit?!"
Carina and the others all said in shock, "There's actually a Devil Fruit in this world that can travel through time?"
"It's normal. After all, even mythical beasts from legends exist, and there are space-based abilities too, so time is nothing special," Link said nonchalantly. "Besides, in the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, there are many Devil Fruits related to time, like the Paramecia-type Return-Return Fruit and the Paramecia-type Age-Age Fruit. There must be superior versions of them."
"That's true."
Carina and the others had a slight realization.
Immediately after, Carina couldn't help but ask, "Now that those three sworn brothers have become his guards, should we kill this Kozuki Momonosuke?"
Carina and the others were all aware of Kozuki Hiyori's existence.
They didn't mind Link taking this "toy."
In the past two years, many of the beautiful guards on Amazon Lily had also been pulled in by Link to liven things up.
These "toys" all had the tacit approval of Carina and the other women.
But Kozuki Hiyori was a special case. After all, Link had entrusted the entire country of Wano to her management and had even given her the Zoan-type Horse-Horse Fruit, Mythical Model: Pegasus.
Now that her older brother was bringing people to reclaim the sovereignty of Wano, would Link be considerate of this relationship?
At this, Link looked down at the hard-working Reiju, couldn't help but reach out and stroke her pink hair, and said with a meaningful smile, "I have a good way to handle it!"
