Over the years…
Because of Charlotte Linlin's dominance.
She acted without ever considering the feelings or interests of others.
As long as she could obtain her favorite sweets…
She would frequently dispatch large armies to plunder and loot.
Over time, the surrounding forces didn't just grow to despise the Charlotte family—they began to wish for their destruction.
If the Charlotte family were still strong, Katakuri wouldn't be worried about the situation on September 13.
But things are different now. After everything that's happened, those who already hated the Charlotte family may see this as their chance to take revenge.
If those forces really thought that way, it would cause huge trouble for the Charlotte family—and shake the very foundations of their position as one of the Four Emperors.
One or two ants might not matter, but if those ants unite…
They could become a serious threat to Whole Cake Island.
But the worst part of it all… is the Beasts Pirates.
How could Katakuri not know? The Beasts Pirates are a bunch of lunatics.
Born to fight—chaotic and extreme in everything they do.
Especially their captain—Kaido, the so-called "Strongest Creature in the World."
Once you offend Kaido…
Who knows what might happen next?
Katakuri had no illusions. If the backbone of the Charlotte family were really captured like this, Kaido wouldn't sit down and calmly discuss an alliance.
Even putting aside whether peace could be maintained on the surface, it's more likely that Kaido would mobilize his army and destroy them the very next day.
Suddenly, Albedo stepped forward and slapped Katakuri across the face, snapping:
"Do you still not understand your situation? How dare you speak to our captain like that? You're just asking to die!"
Albedo had always regarded Kronos as a supreme existence.
In her eyes, no one was allowed to insult Kronos—especially not a prisoner like Katakuri.
Kronos looked seriously at Katakuri and said calmly:
"You can relax. I'm a man of my word. If Charlotte Linlin really goes to capture the Tobi Roppo, then I guarantee your safety. You'll be free to go."
Katakuri cursed Kronos to death in his heart but didn't dare to say a single harsh word aloud…
And it wasn't just Katakuri—every other pirate present felt the same. They all hated Kronos to the core.
But no one dared to insult him again.
Because if they did… that terrifying woman, Albedo, might kill them on the spot!
Even if Kronos kept his promises, that didn't mean his subordinates would.
Everyone knew that all of Kronos' crew were complete weirdos!
Kronos thought for a moment.
Then spoke:
"Gojo Satoru, you're responsible for guarding them. Any objections?"
As soon as those words came out, Gojo's expression stiffened slightly. He pointed to himself and said, stunned:
"Eh? Did I hear that right? You actually want me to stay and babysit them?"
Kronos replied matter-of-factly, "Is there anyone better than you for the job? No, there isn't."
"Besides, weren't you the one who took them down? So why shouldn't you be the one to guard them?"
What Kronos said was airtight—leaving Gojo speechless. He opened his mouth but couldn't find a single argument to refute it.
