It must be said that within the Big Mom Pirates, Baron Tamago was one of the few individuals whose actions were primarily guided by logic.
In the original timeline, when Luffy ate the sweets intended for Big Mom, it was Tamago who successfully persuaded her to accept the substitute treasure as compensation.
Unfortunately, for the volatile, menopausal old woman that was Big Mom, Tamago's rationality didn't earn him her favor!
Oven immediately regained his senses upon hearing it was Mama calling. He respectfully took the Den Den Mushi.
"Mama, do you have any orders?"
Big Mom spoke coldly, "Oven, don't act rashly. Pass the Den Den Mushi to Auguro."
Hearing that Mama intended to negotiate directly with Auguro, Oven felt an inexplicable sense of relief. The impulse to fight immediately vanished.
He offered the Transponder Snail to Auguro. Auguro was also curious about what Big Mom would say to him. Would it be a compromise? Or an outright declaration of war?
"Charlotte Linlin, what do you want to talk about?"
Unexpectedly, Big Mom did not burst into an angry interrogation. Instead, she laughed happily.
"Mamamama… No need to be so defensive! Sith Auguro! Looking across the entire Grand Line, you are truly one of the most outstanding individuals!"
"Compared to you, my sons are nothing more than overgrown brats!"
Auguro frowned slightly. Did Big Mom specifically call him just to lavish him with praise?
In the next moment, Big Mom provided the answer.
"Sith Auguro, join us! You can freely choose one of my daughters to marry!"
"Oh, what about Custard? She's right there beside Oven! In terms of looks and figure, she's one of the best among my daughters!"
"Her strength is also exceptional; you absolutely won't lose out by marrying her! If our two families join forces, we can definitely dominate the Grand Line!"
Custard, who had been silently observing, was stunned. How did she get dragged into this?
Her mother just decided to find her a husband like this? However, Custard did not object. Within the Big Mom Pirates, political marriage was a tactic used to exhaustion!
Big Mom herself had married dozens of times! If she decided who was to be married off, absolutely no one could refuse!
From Custard's perspective, Auguro was actually a very good potential husband!
His personal strength was formidable, his faction was no weaker than a Yonko's crew, he was handsome, and he was young!
Thinking about this, Custard's face suddenly flushed. If this happened, wouldn't she be the older woman dating a younger man (lit. an old cow eating tender grass)? The thought was utterly embarrassing!
On Auguro's side, he couldn't help but twitch at Big Mom's invitation. She really is trying to conquer the Grand Line one marriage at a time! And now she's setting her sights on me!
Soi Fon and the others next to him glared with murderous intent at the Den Den Mushi, causing the innocent creature to shiver with fright!
It's not my fault! Direct your anger at the person on the other end of the line!
Soi Fon and the other women were furious. Even they, who spent day and night by Auguro's side, wouldn't dare covet the position of the Queen.
And yet, Big Mom dared to suggest that the Spirit King marry her daughter? Just because you hold the title of Yonko, do you really think you are an Emperor?
Auguro spoke coldly, "Enough, Big Mom! Stop with this boring topic!"
Did she think he would submit to her? She needs to consider if she's worthy!
"Mamamama… Don't be so quick to refuse! If you don't fancy Custard, I have a younger daughter named Pudding! She's a very gentle girl; would you consider her?"
Pudding? Auguro suddenly remembered: wasn't that the girl who was supposed to marry Sanji?
A half-blood of the Three-Eye Tribe and a Paramecia-type Memory-Memory Fruit user! She was an incredible actress, skilled at concealing her true self!
After recalling Pudding's profile, Auguro's eyes turned icy. This wasn't a marriage proposal at all!
She was clearly trying to use the Memory-Memory Fruit to extract his secrets and gain mastery over the power of the Shinigami!
It was the exact same tactic as the supposed marriage alliance with the Vinsmoke Family, which was intended to swallow them whole!
Auguro's voice was laced with killing intent.
"Big Mom, if you try any more tricks! I won't hesitate to use the heads of this entire crew as a warning!"
Big Mom's laughter instantly ceased, replaced by a sinister and chilling voice.
"Brat, are you choosing to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit?"
Auguro actually laughed at this.
That's more like it!
That was the Big Mom he knew!
The temperamental, cruel Yonko!
"Big Mom, you don't need to threaten me! We will never be friends!"
"Furthermore! Fish-Man Island is now my territory! If you don't want to lose a few more sons and daughters today, then make your people leave immediately!"
"Hehehe…" Big Mom let out a deep, ominous laugh.
"Very good, very good! How many years has it been since someone dared to speak to me like that!"
"It seems causing chaos at Marineford gave you a good deal of courage!"
"Sith Auguro! You had better not enter the New World! Otherwise, everything that happened here today, I will collect from you a hundredfold!"
However, Auguro simply scoffed. "Who gave you the confidence to think I would lose to you if I enter the New World?"
"Big Mom, it's entirely possible that the day I enter the New World will be the day your Totto Land falls!"
At these words, a terrifying wave of murderous intent surged from Big Mom. Totto Land was the dream and effort of her entire life. Anyone who dared to threaten to destroy Totto Land was her mortal enemy!
"Sith Auguro! If you dare to set foot in the New World, I will kill you!" Big Mom's massive voice boomed from the Den Den Mushi, resonating all the way to Whole Cake Island in the New World.
Auguro sneered coldly, abruptly hung up the Den Den Mushi, and tossed it to a stunned Oven.
"Are you leaving or not?"
Auguro roared the question, and a mix of Conqueror's Haki (Haoshoku Haki) and Reiatsu surged out like a massive wave, relentlessly assaulting the minds of Oven and his crew.
Oven did not dare to hesitate for a second. He immediately turned and ordered everyone to return to the New World. He had no doubt that if he lingered any longer, Auguro would not hesitate to slice off his head!
Watching Oven and his crew flee in shame, Neptune felt like he was dreaming. This was an executive of a Yonko crew!
Yet, he was completely forced to retreat by Auguro!
Even more terrifying, Auguro had directly threatened Big Mom herself!
In that moment, Neptune realized that he might have found a truly powerful ally!
Auguro also let out a sigh of relief. The predicted future had been changed!
In other words, he would not be constrained by any ridiculous thing called Fate!
