Chapter 175 - Chapter 174: Resolving Linlin's Issues

After Charlotte Linlin accepted the fact that Sister Carmelo was a human trafficker and a villain.

Fang Huo then revealed the secret of Carmelo being the human trafficker 'Mountain Witch' to Elder Yaruru and Harald.

He also exposed the plan where Carmelo conspired with the World Government to rescue the Giant Pirates, deceive the Giant Race's friendship, and successfully establish the House of Lambs in Elbaf.

Carmelo's goal was to gain the friendship of the Giants and then become an intermediary for the World Government, helping to recruit Giants into the Marine to earn high commissions.

Hearing Fang Huo's words, Harald and Yaruru were a bit dazed.

It was true that after Carmelo saved the Giant Pirates, Giant warriors who leaned towards justice began to set out to sea to become Marines one after another.

The most famous among them was John Giant.

He was the first Giant Marine from Elbaf in hundreds of years.

Now, John Giant had already become a Giant Vice Admiral, serving as a benchmark and role model for the Giants who joined the Marine later.

Later, Giant warriors like Lacroix and Ronse also went to sea to become Marines and became Marine generals.

As these Giant generals gained a place in the Marine, combined with the peace policy advocated by King Harald.

So even though the House of Lambs was later expelled and Carmelo died, and despite the lack of Carmelo's propaganda, Giant warriors continued to set out to sea to become Marines.

"Regarding the incident where Charlotte Linlin lost control and seriously injured Elder Yoruru, I hope you won't blame Linlin, who was only 5 years old at the time."

"She has always felt very guilty."

Fang Huo sincerely apologized to the Giant Race on behalf of Charlotte Linlin.

In fact, the Giant Race had done some reflection on expelling the House of Lambs due to Elder Yoruru's serious injury and death, knowing that they couldn't entirely blame Charlotte Linlin.

Elder Yoruru's old age and physical frailty were also important factors.

Additionally, at that time, Elbaf was experiencing various natural disasters, and rumors of Loki's curse and the demon Linlin's curse were spreading everywhere.

This led the Giant Race to expel outsiders like Carmelo and Charlotte Linlin.

Later, after Harald returned with grain from the outer seas to help Elbaf through the natural disasters, and various rumors of curses were suppressed.

They even specifically sent Giants to monitor the safety of the House of Lambs.

As a result, a Giant warrior later witnessed Charlotte Linlin's 'cannibalistic' atrocity, where she killed Sister Carmelo.

This caused the Giant Race to completely loathe Charlotte Linlin, the demon.

---Fang Huo continued to expose the secret that Sister Carmelo sold orphans to the World Government's CP organization, and that Carmelo wanted to use the Soul-Soul Fruit Ability to seize Charlotte Linlin's body.

"Actually, back then, that old woman Carmelo wanted to possess Charlotte Linlin and actively merge with her."

"Those orphans died because of Carmelo's plans and ambition."

"A while ago, I helped Charlotte Linlin suppress Carmelo's soul."

"If that demonic human trafficker Carmelo had completely taken control of Linlin's iron balloon body, she would have become a true cancer to the world."

Fang Huo did his best to explain the conspiracy of 'cannibalism' for Charlotte Linlin, shifting all the blame onto that old woman Carmelo.

In the original timeline, Charlotte Linlin's daughter Lola was supposed to marry Loki, which was originally an opportunity to repair relations.

This showed that the grudge between the Giant Race and Charlotte Linlin was not entirely irreconcilable.

It was just a pity that Lola fled the wedding, causing the relationship between the two sides to deteriorate once again.

Now, with Fang Huo, Loki's benefactor, acting as a guarantor, Yaruru reluctantly accepted the explanation for Charlotte Linlin's 'cannibalism.'

He had actually gradually let go of Yoruru's serious injury and death.

After all, having an old friend die at the hands of a 5-year-old child was somewhat embarrassing.

He and Yoruru were, after all, the former Captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates.

The Giant Race was actually more wary of Charlotte Linlin's 'cannibalism' incident than the accidental killing of Elder Yoruru.

Under Fang Huo's explanation and assurance, Yaruru still chose to believe Fang Huo's words.

After some discussion with Harald, Yaruru decided to announce the secrets that Sister Carmelo was the human trafficker Mountain Witch and that she had cooperated with the World Government to save people to deceive the Giant Race's friendship.

Harald was a bit worried that this would affect the safety of those Giant Marines.

But in the end, he chose not to hide it from the citizens.

After the news that Sister Carmelo was a human trafficker and a conspirator had spread in Elbaf for some time.

Fang Huo then spread the secret of Carmelo's attempt to seize Charlotte Linlin's body and the cannibalism incident.

He personally put on a great show in front of the Giants, exorcising Carmelo's evil soul and curse for Charlotte Linlin.

The current Charlotte Linlin, like Loki, was now a 'good child.'

Most Giants, out of trust for Fang Huo, finally stopped being so repulsed and loathing toward Charlotte Linlin.

Although some Giants still felt uneasy and wary of Charlotte Linlin and didn't dare to get close to her.

At least they weren't calling for her death anymore.

Many Giants only now realized that the pink-haired woman in the Rocks Pirates was Charlotte Linlin.

After several months of fermentation and settling, the Giant Race slowly accepted this fact.

Fang Huo really put a lot of effort into helping Charlotte Linlin eliminate the sanctions and hatred from the Giant Race.

From playing the mystic to exorcise curses and evil souls, to controlling public opinion and whitewashing, and giving his personal guarantee... the current result was already quite good for Charlotte Linlin.

Charlotte Linlin was extremely grateful for Fang Huo's help, wishing she could immediately give birth to eight or ten children for him in one go.

Fang Huo felt that Charlotte Linlin would be his for the rest of her life, obediently listening to his words.

---While Fang Huo and the Rocks Pirates were busy in Elbaf.

Various events were also happening in the outer seas.

The Rumbar Pirates were completely wiped out in the Thriller Bark, and even Brook had died.

Under the power of the Revive-Revive Fruit, Brook's soul escaped from the Underworld and was searching everywhere for his body.

But their pirate ship was drifting within the shadows of the Thriller Bark.

The bodies of Brook and his companions were gradually rotting and turning into white bones, while Brook's soul continued to wander and search for his body... The Roger Pirates had already fought their way from the East Blue into the Grand Line, making a bit of a name for themselves and becoming slightly famous in the early part of Paradise.

The World Government rebuilt Enies Lobby on an island between the Red Line and Marineford.

On an island in the North Blue, a somewhat wretched-looking 6-year-old boy was working hard to learn various navigation skills, his desk covered in books.

His name was Borsalino.

Also in the North Blue, a Navy Colonel was happily reuniting with his wife and son; his 3-year-old son, wearing a justice hat, was named Sakazuki.

However, what this Navy Colonel didn't know was that some remnants of pirate groups he had defeated were looking for an opportunity to take revenge on his family.

Meanwhile, Silver Axe was still bitterly searching for the Logia type Glint-Glint Fruit and Magma-Magma Fruit in the North Blue.

Various scraps of intelligence turned out to be false news and rumors, making Silver Axe feel incredibly irritable and disappointed.

He looked at the Paramecia Type Chop-Chop Fruit in his hand, really wanting to just settle for it.

He didn't want to search anymore.

In Foosha Village in the East Blue, 3-year-old Monkey D. Dragon was growing up strong under the care of his mother and grandparents, though he didn't see his father more than a few times all year round.

In a warring kingdom on the Grand Line, Kaido, who was over 7 years old and nearly 8, received the bad news that his parents had died in battle.

In order to survive and have enough to eat, he would also join the war... ---
