Before the words had even finished, she grabbed Kuri, who was still trying to beg for mercy with her eyes, skillfully rolled her into a ball, and like throwing a cannonball, slammed her towards that row of ice bottles!
"You jerk otousan—!!! I hate you!!!" Kuri's scream pierced the sky.
Bang! Crash—!!!
The small figure, like a cannonball leaving the chamber, hit the formation of ice bottles with pinpoint accuracy! A crisp shattering sound resounded all around; the twelve ice bottles were smashed to pieces, and the ice crystals reflected brilliant light under the sun.
Charlotte Linlin clapped her hands in satisfaction and whistled: "Ma ma ma ma~ Good shot! A strike! Worthy of being my daughter!"
Not far away, Gerd and Ripley, who were sparring, stopped their movements, watched this scene of "fatherly kindness and filial daughter," and smiled at each other.
Gerd wiped her sweat and laughed: "The father and daughter are playing again~"
Ripley nodded, her tone carrying a hint of nostalgia: "Yeah, it's been a long time since I've seen Linlin laugh so... happily (and maliciously)."
Meanwhile, Kuri, who had been smashed until she was dizzy and was lying in the ice shavings, only felt stars spinning before her eyes, and her bones felt as if they had fallen apart.
She looked at the azure sky and shed tears of regret—she swore that she would never dare to skip school again!
Compared to being used as a human bowling ball by her jerk of a dad, sitting in a classroom listening to those brats read was simply heaven!
Charlotte Linlin looked at her daughter, who was questioning her own existence, and thought to herself:
Kid, do you think strength is just about fighting and killing? In this world, an illiterate person can't even figure out how to develop a Devil Fruit!
Look at those two clowns under Kaido in the future, Queen and King; they were able to create those bizarre technologies and abilities with Zoan types. Although their methods were twisted, it also shows how important knowledge is for ability development!
This lady is doing this for your future! Of course, playing a little on the side is also excellent...
Time flew, and half a year passed in a flash.
Inside the reconstructed, even more magnificent Tenshukaku on Thunder God Island, Mia was holding a thick report and reporting to Charlotte Linlin, who was sitting in the main seat.
"Captain, after more than five years of development, our Totto Land... no, it should now be officially called 'Inazuma'... has initially achieved self-sufficiency in life necessities such as food, Fabric, and basic medicine.
The characteristic industries of each island, such as Citrus, fisheries, shipbuilding, and some mineral resources, already have stable output and internal circulation, and have begun to show a surplus."
Mia turned a page and continued: "More importantly, the 'Totto Land Academy' established according to your instructions has seen the first batch of students receiving systematic education basically complete their studies. They have mastered basic reading, writing, arithmetic, management knowledge, and some professional skills.
I believe we can start selecting talent from this group to begin forming a more standardized and effective administrative management system, gradually taking over the daily governance of each island."
Charlotte Linlin listened carefully to the report, her fingers tapping lightly on the armrest of the throne. It was truly not easy for Inazuma to have developed to this point on this chaotic sea.
As the discussion neared its end, a former member of the Kuja Pirates, now a member of the Heavenly Calamity Pirates, hurried in and reported with an anxious expression:
"Lady Linlin, news has come from Hachinosu Island that Captain Shakky has gone missing!"
