Really, if nothing else, the Yonko loved her sweets. Whitebeard could keep his rambunctious family; Kaido could keep his wild beasts; Blackbeard could suck up all the power he craved; and Shanks could do whatever the hell he wanted with his Nakama. Just give Charlotte Linlin her goddamn candy, and she'd be happy. She was not, however, a simple woman when it came to these sorts of things. Mindlessly chowing down on sugary goodness was just not the way to go. She'd always said, 'quality over quantity'. The best ingredients made the best bonbons. But when she became a Yonko, she finally considered the question 'Why not both?'. Quality ingredients producing quality candy in the masses seemed like an excellent idea. It was completely doable by exploi—Managing her territories properly. Hell, the islands under her protection were getting a pretty good deal out of this whole thing! Why, for the low, low price of 10 tonnes of candy per month, they'd gain her patronage and supervision! And it'd worked! It'd worked for a long, long time until that idiot Straw Hat had taken over Fishman Island, wreaking havoc amongst the factory workers. He'd not only stolen one of her favorite candy producers, but he'd mocked her and publicly challenged her!
"Well I'll have you know that Charlotte Linlin does not back down from ANY challenges!" she bursted out, knocking over her glass of cider, "Not even stupid ones from brainless idiots!"
Linlin smiled, remembering a time when she was once a rookie herself. Naïve, dauntless, impressionable. And then she'd gotten her wake up call. Well, more like a wake up slap. In an instant, little Charlotte realized she was just a tiny fish in a big old ocean. Linlin decided that she was going to be that slap in the face to Straw Hat. The brat needed a reality check, and boy was she was going to give it to him!
A.N.: I kinda like toying with Big Mam's personality design, since Oda's still shrouding her in mystery. Reviews, Favourites, Subscriptions, and Requests are welcomed and much appreciated! See you on Feb 20th for Kumadori!
