To build a nation where all races can live in peace is Charlotte Linlin's dream, but it's not her only dream.
To be precise, this was Sister Carmel's dream as seen through Charlotte Linlin's eyes.
This human trafficker, known as Yamaba, was very good at disguising herself, and Charlotte Linlin never knew her true purpose until her death.
In Charlotte Linlin's eyes, Carmelo was a great man from beginning to end, and after his death, she simply inherited his dream.
For Charlotte Linlin herself, this process was more like stamp collecting; she needed children of this race, but that didn't mean she had to love those children.
Pudding didn't have bangs at first; she covered her forehead with her hair because of Charlotte Linlin.
"A third eye looks disgusting, cover it with your hair."
These are Charlotte Linlin's original words. Charlotte Linlin believed in meritocracy when it came to her children; only those with outstanding abilities would receive her favor.
However, children under 10 years old have special privileges, which occasionally trigger Charlotte Linlin's special maternal instincts.
In the large family, Pudding was the one who was not favored, but was needed by Charlotte Linlin.
After all, Charlotte Linlin needs someone to decipher the Poneglyphs, and the Three-Eyed Tribe's third eye can do that once it's opened.
However, Charlotte Linlin doesn't consider her children's feelings. She herself is the absolute power in the Charlotte family, and no one can go against her will, including her children.
In terms of upbringing, Charlotte Linlin was almost raised in a semi-free-range manner. Although she wasn't personally raised like Kaido, or thrown into the deep mountains like Garp, she was allowed to "fight and romp" freely.
Whole Cake Island is ultimately a pirate island. Although Charlotte Linlin is the queen here, the environment is much better for the children of the Charlotte family than it was on Beehive Island.
Back on Beehive Island, the other kids there really dared to do dirty things; Brûlée's face bears the scars from that time.
Charlotte Linlin's approach also resulted in her children having different personalities; for example, Pudding has the potential for a dual personality.
In order to avoid being bullied, one must pretend to be strong and use the method of bullying others to protect oneself from such harm.
Sanji didn't notice that Pudding was holding a small knife. It wasn't the first time she had been bullied. Having made up her mind, she originally intended to let others know how powerful she was.
However, Sanji's appearance disrupted her plans.
"Beautiful eyes. Nobody's ever said that before."
Hearing this, Brin cried even harder. Since she became conscious, she had never heard anyone praise her eyes.
Her most vulnerable spot was touched, and now she's crying even harder than before.
Meanwhile, the other children had also been driven away by Sanji, who also kicked each of them a few times.
Although Sanji is currently training in the dual-wielding style, this is not the same as him not using his legs. Swordsmen still have high requirements for their lower body.
Those famous swordsmen are just not good at kicking techniques. They can still kick a few times without any problem. Just like Sanji in the original timeline secretly hid a dual-wielding technique, his green-haired brother also hid a kicking technique.
The two of them often used this when they were bickering and arguing.
"Don't cry, I've already chased those guys away. Want some candy?"
Sanji took a lollipop out of his pocket and handed it to Pudding. Protecting the weak was something Brand taught him, and Brand also taught him to respect the opposite sex.
However, regarding his attitude towards the opposite sex, aside from the Vinsmoke family's inherited genes, Sanji was more influenced by Absalom.
