Chapter 86: Using Tsuru
"Brother Roy, why don't you take Whole Cake Island instead? I don't want the future of Whole Cake Island anymore…" Linlin looked at him in distress.
Being forced to learn so much…
Linlin couldn't do it!
She suddenly realized she was still too stupid for this.
"Whether you can or not, you must learn. It's the only way mother's dream can be fulfilled," Roy said.
Knowledge changes how a person thinks.
New ideas open a person's eyes.
Linlin was born a queen—but Roy refused to let her become a king through piracy.
If he was going to change her, he would do it his way.
"I understand… Linlin won't give up becoming mother's ideal…" Linlin murmured, staring painfully at the books.
She didn't want to read. She didn't want to learn any of this nonsense.
But she had to…
If she didn't listen, she would disappoint her brother.
If she didn't learn, she would betray Mother again.
So she would force herself.
Roy had essentially grabbed Charlotte Linlin by the scruff of the neck.
In the world of anime?
Use anime logic to handle it.
Linlin, you don't want to betray mother, right?
LOL…
"Don't give up, Linlin. I'll stay here for this last year and teach you everything I can. Use the time wisely. Ask me anything, so you can continue learning once I leave."
Linlin, look at these books. Even if I've left…
Just pretend the books are me.
Roy spoke with an exaggeratedly childish tone, slamming the book down dramatically.
"I… this, waaaah…" Linlin burst into tears again.
Her brother was really making things difficult for her!
She felt her limited brain cells collapsing under the pressure.
"To be honest…" Toki frowned, flipping through a book. "Roy, what exactly did you write…"
She couldn't understand any of it.
"Can't read…"
Roy: "..."
Alright, maybe he overestimated them.
"We'll start from the basics this afternoon," Roy said, tapping the cover of the book.
Linlin hadn't even finished basic literacy. If he didn't fix her now, how could he confidently go to the future and flirt with girls back there?
Oh no—
That thought was cruel!
Afternoon came quickly.
Linlin stared at the book while Roy lectured in front of her like a teacher.
What was he even talking about?
She barely understood a thing.
"Brother Roy, were you a teacher in your past life?" Linlin teased.
"Smack!"
"Ow~"
Roy tapped her hand lightly with his sword. Linlin dramatically pretended to be hurt.
Two people with iron defenses… nothing hurt anyway.
Toki covered her mouth, laughing softly on the side.
"I'll explain again. It's simple. Listen carefully, or I'll get angry," Roy said, glancing at Toki.
Toki glared back.
"Are you addicted to pretending you're a teacher? Even your wife gets lectured?"
Roy coughed and continued.
His books contained his own thoughts.
But Linlin didn't know that Roy was enjoying shaping her future.
He wasn't naive enough to apply all the ideas from his past life into this world—
This was a world where personal strength could overturn nations.
Kindness?
Impossible.
If you wanted to survive, you crushed enemies.
"Do you understand?"
"I think… I understand," Linlin said weakly, then muttered, "Linlin… even she is softhearted."
Roy frowned sharply, and Linlin jumped.
"I understand!"
Linglin thought: Brother Roy is addicted to playing teacher…
So she would become the student.
Weirdly… it wasn't bad.
Kind of fun.
A week later.
Inside a giant bird's nest, Roy and Toki sat at the edge, watching white clouds drift across the sky while teasing a chubby baby bird.
And Linlin…
She was still buried in Roy's hand-written book about governing the world.
It included Roy's opinions and the words of many great figures. Roy thought proudly, Hmm, I'm honored.
But for Linlin… it was torture.
She had to learn how to treat ordinary people, how to restrain her power, how not to fear any enemy, how to make decisions…
She stared at the towering tree, despair creeping in.
Roy's teachings were turning her into someone even stricter than the Navy.
This wasn't piracy.
This was nation building.
It was like he wanted her to be a pirate only on special occasions, while managing a kingdom like a ruler.
"Does Brother Roy really have no ambition?" Linlin asked, watching Roy and Toki chatting and laughing atop the tree.
Something felt off.
Roy acted carefree, a flirt who liked pretty girls…
But Linlin always felt he was acting.
Otherwise, why appoint his silly little sister to rule a kingdom?
Why write so many detailed books?
Why plan policies and foundations for her?
In every way, Linlin felt that at best she was suited to be a general.
The king should be her brother.
Roy's real thoughts?
I just want to be a player!
...
South Blue.
Inside a Marine branch.
Sengoku and Tsuru stood at the door while two vice admirals and Kong sat inside discussing.
"Since Charlotte Linlin and Harold Roy are confirmed to be in the Kingdom of Torino, why don't I just capture her? Why bother with all this?" Kong said, confused.
The two vice admirals didn't reply. Instead, they looked at the Den Den Mushi on the table.
"Ahem, Admiral Kong, please mind your position."
"Sorry."
Kong stiffened, glancing at the Den Den Mushi, still clearly upset.
Mary Geoise.
The young Five Elders sat around a table, glaring at the Den Den Mushi.
"Kong, both Linlin and Roy have thundercloud homies that can fly."
"You'll never catch them. They're children; they'll escape easily."
"Let the girl Tsuru go. If Roy possibly likes her, let the youth handle it."
Then they hung up without giving anyone a chance to respond.
South Blue branch.
Outside the office.
Tsuru glanced at Sengoku, completely unaware that she had already been sold out by her future colleague.
