One Piece : Prince of Charlotte Family

"Life or Death?"

Half a day later.

On a massive pirate ship.

A huge, bloated figure stood there, radiating an overwhelming presence.

Looking down at a group of pale-faced pirates who were trapped with no escape.

A strange, terrifying glow surrounded the figure, exuding an aura of pure intimidation.

"Ahhh...!"

"It's Big Mom!"

"Gulp! Why is she here all of a sudden?"

"This monster..."

As Wilhelm used some pirates to test an unknown Devil Fruit, the faces of the surviving pirates twisted in horror. They wanted to run, but their legs wouldn't move.

Cold sweat dripped down their faces as they trembled in fear.

Right before their eyes, an eerie, purple-black substance oozed out of one pirate's body...

In an instant, the towering figure's presence alone tore their souls from their bodies.

One by one, the pirates collapsed, lifeless.

Tap, tap—

Out at sea.

A massive ark hovered in the air, generating powerful winds.

"It actually worked..."

From the ship's side, the three sisters—Smoothie, Strongest, and Simon—stared in disbelief.

They watched as the figure on the island effortlessly took the lives of those pirates.

It was exactly like their mother, Charlotte Linlin.

Shiryu of the Rain, who had been observing everything, couldn't help but be impressed.

"The Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Raccoon... What a terrifying ability."

"Hey, hey, hey, this is unreal..."

Dr. Hawkins rubbed his chin and smirked.

"Not only can the user bring anything written on the transformation leaf into reality, but even copied Devil Fruit powers retain their original abilities."

"The key isn't just the power of the Mythical Zoan Raccoon Form—Pato himself is made of 'Hawkins Alloy.' His body is not only indestructible but also has the unique properties of liquid metal, allowing him to change into any shape!"

"Yahahaha~ I wonder how strong these transformed beings can actually be."

"In this sea, no power is truly unlimited, and a copy can never surpass the original."

On the pirate ship below.

A silver-white figure stood confidently on the shoulder of "Charlotte Linlin."

And on that figure's shoulder—

A small civet cat bounced around excitedly.

Like a child showing off to their parents, it grinned and eagerly sought praise.

"Rihihi~, Boss, am I amazing?"

Wilhelm chuckled and patted the tanuki's head.

"Of course, Pato, you did an amazing job!"

"Beaverihihi~..."

The civet scratched its head, eyes curving into crescent moons with joy.

It jumped off Wilhelm's shoulder and transformed into a human form—

Now a black-haired boy with unique eyebrows, looking around eleven years old—almost identical to a young Rob Lucci.

Then, its body rippled like liquid metal and reshaped into Gild Tesoro.

In another blink, it shifted again—this time into Shiryu of the Rain.

The tanuki Pato was having the time of his life.

Pato.

A special lifeform created from Hawkins Alloy—a nearly indestructible, fire-resistant shape-memory metal.

Having "eaten" the Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Raccoon, Pato gained intelligence and free will like any normal person.

Unlike ordinary shape-memory alloys, Pato's liquid metal body could harden to withstand swords and bullets, heat up to temperatures hotter than normal flames, and shift between human and animal forms at will.

A "liquid metal" being with a mind of its own.

Capable of taking any form, mimicking anyone's appearance.

And when necessary, it could even transform into armor, a wristband, or any tool—attaching itself to Wilhelm's body for battle.

Just like Venom from Marvel, its form is constantly shifting.

However, it's not as grotesque or terrifying as Venom.

With the abilities of a Mythical Zoan and the Raccoon Form, Pato can use its tail like a pen to write on a transformation leaf—bringing whatever is written to life.

Right now, its power is still in its early stages, not very strong yet.

But its potential is limitless.

"The Big Mom created from Pato's Transformation Leaf can only display about 10 to 20% of my mother's true strength, and she only lasts for a day at most..."

"If she takes a fatal hit, she disappears instantly!"

Wilhelm looked at Pato, who had just copied his appearance perfectly, making it almost impossible to tell them apart.

Then, shifting his gaze downward, he observed the transformed "Charlotte Linlin" and nodded slightly.

"But at least, she can perfectly replicate the powers of the Soul-Soul Fruit—forcing soul extractions and stealing the lifespan of anyone who fears her. She can even use that stolen soul energy to create new Homies."

The transformed copies might not be as powerful as the originals…

But they still retain the Devil Fruit abilities of the person they mimic.

That alone makes the Raccoon Form of the Mythical Zoan quite useful in crucial moments.

Wilhelm then gave an order to "Charlotte Linlin."

"Leave a few of them alive. I need them for an experiment."

"Yes."

The transformed Big Mom immediately stopped.

Clang!

With a dazzling gleam, Cong Yunya was unsheathed.

Ignoring the lifeless bodies of the pirates whose souls had been taken, Wilhelm calmly walked toward the few remaining survivors, bound and unable to move.

"Give me that soul energy."

Wilhelm reached out his right hand.

The soul essence, freshly stolen by "Charlotte Linlin," floated toward him.

Using the Transfer-Transfer Fruit's power, Wilhelm took the soul energy and infused it into Cong Yunya.

However, instead of turning it into a Homie, he let the souls temporarily cling to the blade.

Like an eerie mist, wisps of cloud-like energy swirled around the sword.

"Wilhelm, what are you trying to do?"

At that moment—

Smoothie, Shiryu of the Rain, and the others leaped down from the hovering Ark Maxim, watching Wilhelm with curiosity.

"An experiment."

With a firm grip, Wilhelm activated the Transfer-Transfer Fruit.

From Ark Maxim, he pulled out two Zoan-type Devil Fruits and 490 ordinary fruits.

Under the watchful eyes of Smoothie and Shiryu of the Rain, Wilhelm forced one of the pirates to eat a Sheep-Sheep Fruit, Model: Alpaca.

"No, please, don't—!"

The pirate pleaded desperately, but Wilhelm's expression remained cold.

Without hesitation, he thrust his blade into the pirate's heart.

A shrill scream echoed.

"Frozen Underworld, Soul Freeze!" Wilhelm's eyes turned sharp.

The gem embedded in Cong Yunya suddenly gleamed with a mysterious golden light.

In an instant, the temperature plummeted.

A terrifying wave of icy underworld energy burst forth, completely freezing the pirate solid.

His body turned into an ice sculpture.

At the same time, all signs of life vanished.

"Ability transfer!"

Wilhelm wasted no time. He activated the Transfer-Transfer Fruit again.

Cong Yunya hummed softly, glowing with a faint blue radiance.

Then—

One of the ordinary fruits in his hand changed before their very eyes.

Under the stunned gazes of Shiryu of the Rain, Feathered Serpent Kur, and Dr. Hawkins, the power of the Sheep-Sheep Fruit, Model: Alpaca was extracted from the frozen pirate and transferred into the new fruit.

Immediately afterward—

Wilhelm pulled out Cong Yunya.

He activated the Paramecia-type Healing Fruit, causing a pure, holy glow to radiate from the blade.

The lingering soul energy surrounding the sword quickly shrank, fading away.

The ice that covered the pirate's body melted, and his fatal wound began to heal at a visible speed.

His heart started beating again.

The pirate, who had been dead just moments ago, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Huh? I… I'm not dead?"
