Charlotte Linling's children basically had no opportunity to choose their own love. In Charlotte Linling's mind, her children's marriages were also part of a tool, one of the ways she won people's hearts.
Of the other pirates who joined the Big Mom Pirates, those whom Charlotte Linlin valued most eventually became her sons-in-law or daughters-in-law.
Marrying into a powerful family was Charlotte Linlin's favorite thing.
The title of the world's strongest nation currently belongs to Elbaf, given the formidable fighting prowess of its giant race.
The long years and enormous size of the Titans have made each adult Titan a weapon of war; a single Titan squad is enough to destroy a nation without advanced combat capabilities.
Charlotte Linlin's dream is to repair her relationship with the giants, but unfortunately, she is considered an evil god by the giants, so they can't find a way to get to her.
Since its inception, Piltover has been rising in power. The appearance of Steel Oars meant that Piltover possessed the power to destroy a nation, and the battle between Lyliana and Whitebeard further solidified the country's reputation in the pirate world.
Without a doubt, that was a remarkably rare and powerful nation.
If it were some blond guy who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, Charlotte Linlin would probably strangle him.
Even though she didn't particularly like Pudding's appearance, the Three-Eyed Clan held immense value in Charlotte Linlin's eyes, and she couldn't let anyone kidnap them so easily.
However, a blond guy from Piltover who has a certain status might be worth considering.
These sea emperors only lose their minds when they're in a rage, and they're usually too lazy to use their brains. In reality, they're quite shrewd, with Kaido and Charlotte Linlin being prime examples.
Charlotte Linlin is quite adept at maintaining a balance of power.
The best candidates for a marriage alliance would naturally be Oran's daughters, but that's simply impossible. They're either too old, not powerful enough, or even too different in terms of generation.
Moreover, the marriage between a princess of a member state and a pirate is something that can never be recognized.
Charlotte Linlin herself was reluctant to let her outstanding children get married, and she believed Oran felt the same way.
The marriage is merely a bond; having someone of similar standing to maintain the relationship is sufficient.
If Sanji is just a future minister, at most an executive cultivated by Oran, then it wouldn't be a problem for my daughter to be matched with such an executive.
Most importantly, Oran is not a pirate.
Charlotte Linlin needs Pudding to translate the Poneglyphs after she grows up, but Oran doesn't need her. The kings of the allied nations shouldn't be interested in the One Piece or the position of Pirate King.
Charlotte Linling would accept either a son-in-law who would marry into the family or a marriage where the couple would separate.
As long as Pudding translates the historical text of the Road Poneglyphs for her when needed, Pudding is of little value to Charlotte Linlin.
It's rare for a daughter to marry out of the country; Charlotte Linlin has never said she wouldn't allow her daughter to marry out, but it depends on the other party's strength.
In the original timeline, Charlotte Linlin was eager to marry Lola off after hearing that the giant prince had taken a liking to her. After all, it was impossible for the giant prince to marry into the Big Mom Pirates, as he was the heir to the giant kingdom.
