Whole Cake Island, Wedding Hall
"Do you, Charlotte Linlin, take Thanatos as your husband?" A priest asked.
""I, Charlotte Linlin, take thee, , to be my wedded husband/wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part…" Big Mom started her oath. But anyone with even slight knowledge about her would know that this is shallow oath which is another stepping stone for Big Mom. This Yonkou has been marrying many people with diverse background to get children with special traits.
"It's good to see our family expanding," Oven grinned.
"The groom has special ability that mama wants. She is aiming to obtain to enhance our family, Perorin," Perospero explains goal behind this marriage.
"Special transformation, was it? I heard it's not Zoan type… I wonder how many siblings we will get this time. I can't see that far into the future," Katakuri told others. "At least, I see mama devouring the wedding cake that our head chef prepared."
Big Mom intensely stared at the wedding cake that has lots of angelic figures. The head chef, Streusen poured his passion into this cake with all he got. The cake was mainly consisted of mocha with chocolate statues and towers of Croquembouche on four sides.
"Ha… ha… I can't take it anymore!" Big Mom kept drooling, forgetting that she even just had marriage. She ignored her new husband and jumped right at the cake. "Fantastic! Delicious! *gulpgulp* You made another masterpiece, Streusen! *Chump*"
"Thank you for your compliment, your highness!" Streusen bowed down and blushed bit.
"Hey, Linlin! At least, leave some for me!" Her new husband, Thanatos was worried that he won't be able to taste the famous chef's masterpiece.
"Rest assured. I see her leaving few parts of the cake for rest of us," Katakuri saw distant future once again.
"Oh dear… At least, there won't be food disorder from her for a while, soir," Baron Tamago sighed in bit embarrassment and relief.
Rest of family enjoyed other snacks and meals while watching Big Mom devouring the cake. With cream all over her face, she relentlessly dug and shoved cake pieces. Her enjoyment was further proven by her eyes turning to heart shape. Still, she showed certain degree of attitude and dignity.
"Napoleon!" Big Mom stopped digging further and called her pirate hat, Napoleon.
"Yes, mama!" Big Mom's trusted got off from top of her head and formed cutlass.
"It would be waste if only I get to taste this masterpiece, right?" She readied her sword and started swinging. The cake was sliced in perfect proportion. Each piece was flown up by force of the swing.
Streusen threw plates at bottom of each cake. Then, he winked at Perospero.
"Candy conveyor belt!" As Perospero swung his candy stick, several candy lines stretched out from him and caught each plate. Next, he smoothly and gently delivered each cake to every participant of the wedding. "Of course, you shouldn't miss the most delicious part, our new father."
One of the candy belts brought piece with a Croquembouche tower to Thanatos. He stared at the piece with a dumbfounded face while drooling bit. Look and smell of the cake were already charming and powerful enough to bring even someone like him to his knee…. Almost… He couldn't resist seductive nature of the cake, so he took a bite.
"Marvelous! There is a reason why Linlin went nut. Nothing short of wonder. As expected from Big Mom pirate's top chef."
"I spent few days coming up with design and flavor. I am glad you like my work."
"Wedding cake should be accompanied by fitting drink. Now choose please. An energetic man who slept with 100 women? A tri-horned bear that filled its belly with volcano bee's honey? Or a rhino whale that ate sparkling blue plankton?" Smoothie approached Thanatos with ingredients to choose for squeezing drink out.
"I will take the second option since that sounds sweet."
"Right away." She quickly grabbed the bear and squeezed out its energy juice into a clean wineglass.
Graaaargh!
The tri-horned bear roared in agony as it watches its life energy dripping into the glass.
"Here is your drink."
"Thank, Smoothie." Thanatos picked up the glass and slowly sipped the juice. "I guess this is the right choice for the cake. It perfectly fits the cake's flavor!"
While he enjoyed the bear juice, Smoothie went around and offered the three drink options. When she was about to wrap it up,
"Long live the queen! Long live Big Mom pirate!" Thanatos raised his hand with the glass and shouts.
"Long live the king! Long live my family!" Big Mom came close to him and follows.
"Long live Big Mom pirate!" Everyone in the wedding repeated the chant.
Another among numerous wedding ceremonies Big Mom had passed. Little did new husband what tragic fate waited ahead…
In one of the Whole Cake rooms
It didn't take long for Big Mom conceive daughters of quadruplets after their honeymoon ended. Thanatos watched his wife giving birth to their four daughters. As expected from someone named Big Mom, Charlotte Linlin didn't show much of struggling against giving birth to four daughters. His face was filled joy…. But that was only for a moment.
"It's all done. I don't need you anymore."
"W-what do you mean!? You are joking right, Linlin?" Thanatos felt dumbstruck and shivered.
"I'm not joking. I am dead serious. You no longer serve any purpose. Be gone."
In middle of their quarrel, their babies kept crying.
Uwa! Uwa
"Oh~ boobie x 3~ don't cry," she tried to calm her babies.
"Hey, Linlin! If that's so, let me see and touch our daughters at least! They are our children!" He kept protesting as he was dragged by homies. "Let me go! Linlin! Don't you remember time with me? How can you do this to me?"
"All I wanted from you was your special trait for my children to inherit. Nothing more."
"…Well, if this is your way, so be it… Transform!"
Pillar of light surrounded Thanatos, and he was in GPU form. Then, he shook off Homies and dashed toward Big Mom with his GPU weapon, silver gauntlets equipped.
"Then, I will take them by force!" He gathered strength on his fist while rushing toward her.
"Slayer Overdrive!"
A powerful silver flame rotating punch went to her head… only to be blocked by Nepoleon in its cutlass form. Then, he saw her using her other hand to reach Zeus. Her hand was surrounded by Zeus and its electricity. He realized imminent danger, but it was too late.
"Thunderbolt!"
Big Mom smashed Thanatos from above his head with lightning strike. He was instantly knocked out as ground beneath him cracked.
"I won't kill you since you helped me obtain these precious children, but you will never be allowed to set foot on this land for your action. Guards. Take him away. Set him on a boat to send him far away."
"Yes, mama!"
She watched her ex-husband being helplessly carried away… just for a moment. She quickly paid attention to her babies again. With smile back on her face, she giggled and cuddled her babies.
"You girls bring smile to my face. I can't wait to see how you will contribute to our family. Mamamama~"
Her devilish laugh echoed through the castle.
In middle of ocean
"Here is your belonging and ration to survive although you can't hear me right now," with arm crossed, Perospero looked at unconscious Thanatos tied to the ship's foremast by his candy. Then, he made candy escalator to get back to his ship. "Farewell ex-father. Never see you again."
Everyone on Perospero's ship watched the small lonely ship drifting away in silence. They probably went this step several times to feel numb. Still, even for infamous Big Mom Pirate, this scene wasn't all that pleasant to watch.
After few minutes, the candy shackle was melted, and Thanatos collapsed on the floor. His face got wet with blood and tear of sorrow. He didn't have a chance to see or touch his daughters, let alone chance to name them. He wished he could at least name one of them. Still, his burning passion and dedication to reunion with his daughters didn't vanish, but only magnified several times.
"I will come for you, my daughters… one day…"
