Clutching her head, Charlotte Linlin, who didn't know what protective amnesia was, felt as if she had blacked out from drinking and had forgotten something very important.
Doflamingo didn't know that Charlotte Linlin was currently in a stage of protective amnesia. While pretending to be concerned, he also asked with some curiosity:
"Captain Charlotte, what exactly happened? Was it because you were fighting someone that you fell from the sky?"
"Fighting!?"
The word "fighting" seemed to trigger some mysterious switch. Charlotte Linlin's brain felt a sharp pain, and chaotic memories surged in her mind.
The huge waterfall, the flying ship, the beautiful yet domineering woman...
The pale blue fist, the scene of flying backward like a fleeting shadow, her children scattering like stars in the sky...
"Ahhhh!!!"
As the memories surged, a crazy, strange sound instantly roared out from Charlotte Linlin's mouth. Doflamingo, standing beside her, was caught off guard and was instantly shaken by the terrifying roar until his vision went black, and he bled from his seven orifices.
The violent, strange sound finally subsided. At the same time, Doflamingo swayed twice and collapsed to his knees.
He was already considered lucky. Under Charlotte Linlin's ear-piercing magic sound, no one knew how many people in this area had been shaken to death. In any case, ordinary guards and small fries were basically wiped out.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Where did that little monster come from!? How can such a monster exist!?"
"That blue fist... is it some kind of Devil Fruit ability!? What kind of fruit user is she!?"
While roaring, Charlotte Linlin hammered around like a grumpy gorilla. The terrifying power made the entire King's Plateau feel as if it were having an earthquake.
The teetering, nearly unconscious Doflamingo looked at Charlotte Linlin, who was going berserk again, and only felt it was incredibly ironic—he had been careful, managed meticulously, practiced hard, and considered himself to have achieved perfection in every aspect.
Yet, because he saved a crazy woman who could do nothing but eat and give birth, he ended up in this current state...
Watching the huge fist smashing towards his head, Doflamingo couldn't help but reveal a self-deprecating smile, and then his head hurt, and his vision went black.
"Found it, Charlotte Linlin's location!"
On the Dream Star, Vegapunk placed the Vivre Card sent up by the Charlotte Family into the machine, and very quickly determined Charlotte Linlin's location.
This world possessed special items called Vivre Cards. Through research and development of Vivre Card technology, Vegapunk had long ago developed a method for precise positioning using them.
Compared to the original Vivre Cards that would trigger aggregation reactions, Vegapunk could precisely locate the subject using the Vivre Card and the source paper. Even if the person possessing the main Vivre Card discarded it, he could still locate the original owner.
Theoretically, as long as there was even a bit of cellular material, one could completely and precisely locate a person's whereabouts... Of course, this mainly relied on special materials, and Vegapunk's technology could only be considered a catalyst.
"Let me see, this location is... Dressrosa?"
"Hmm, judging from the state of the Vivre Card, Charlotte Linlin has escaped life-threatening danger and is in a state of rapid recovery... Did the Donquixote Family save her?"
With Charlotte Linlin's terrifying vitality, basically, as long as it was confirmed she wasn't dead, she could slowly recover. But if no one was taking care of her, the speed of recovery certainly wouldn't be fast.
Judging from the state of the Vivre Card, since she was recovering so quickly now, she must have been saved and was currently being treated.
Regarding this, Vegapunk wasn't particularly anxious. So what if Charlotte Linlin recovered? It would just mean having Hancock punch her again, at most having Hancock use thirty percent of her strength this time instead of sixty, to avoid killing her outright.
Since it was confirmed she wasn't dead, there was no need to rush. Vegapunk leisurely began to distribute and appease the numerous Charlottes, and most importantly, to hold Totto Land in his hands.
As the base of the Charlotte Family, Totto Land was far superior to Wano Country in terms of resources alone. Wano Country's characteristics were rare minerals, samurai, and swordsmiths—military industrial features. Totto Land was simply rich in means of production, a prosperous country in the simple sense.
The Beasts Pirates were all war fanatics, and the Charlotte Pirates were all foodies; this choice fit their requirements well.
Vegapunk didn't have high requirements for minerals; after all, he could directly go and crush asteroids for mining. But for organic resources, only the current Pirate Planet could provide them.
After all, even if the Pirate universe was slightly more lively compared to the normal universe, and even had thin air in space, there couldn't be too many life-bearing planets. Vegapunk had only just unlocked space technology and didn't have time to conduct a grand exploration of life-bearing planets.
Why did Vegapunk choose machines as the foundation of his army instead of choosing Clones, which seemed easier to research in this world?
A large part of the reason stemmed from the difficulty of food supply. The more powerful the physical body, the more high-thermal energy food it required. Compared to robots that could run for hundreds of years just by installing an energy furnace—and didn't even need maintenance later on after using memory metal—Clones were undoubtedly much more troublesome.
But if he had a prosperous territory, Vegapunk could completely create Clones and then hand them over to the Charlotte Family to raise. The Charlotte Family might not have other skills, but in terms of collecting food, they were definitely first-class.
Most of these people's own Devil Fruit abilities were related to food, and the various territories they managed mostly produced high-quality food. Even the protection fees collected outside of Totto Land were all desserts and food...
It could be said that in Totto Land, food was completely overflowing; otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to create a country like Cake Island, which was filled with all kinds of food.
This point was exactly the opposite of the heavily polluted Wano Country. Even at the very beginning, Wano Country was not famous for fertile land and abundant food.
