"Thank you. This is... really something."
"I'm glad you like it!"
You smile.
"Erm. I'd like to hang more but I probably should tell your mom I'm here now. And I don't want to get between you and your siblings. But I'll catch you later!"
As you leave Newichi starts laughing.
"Man. This guy is still as weird as he was!"
"Y-Yeah..."
Leaving Nutmeg and the others behind you look for Big Mom who is even easier to spot in a crowd due to her humongous size. She was in the middle of her snack time when you waltzed up to her which prompted her to stop.
"Aaaaah Silver! I'm so glad you came!"
"Wouldn't miss it for the world Big Mom!"
"That's so nice to hear. Now come, come! We got business to discuss don't we?"
"Yeah!"
You wait for a while as Mama orders her homies to bring your crew here but once they arrive you begin the negotiations.
"It's so nice to finally make your acquaintance everyone. I don't think I need to introduce myself so I'll let you do the honor!"
One by one your crew members give their name and their role in your crew to Linlin.
"Mamamama. It looks like you got fewer men than I anticipated. Well no matter. It's quality not quantity that matters. And I'm sure they'll prove themselves in time. But now let us discuss the details. What are your terms my dear Silver?"
"Hmmmmm. I don't really have any. I just want my stuff to remain free and that's it. I don't want anything that's yours either. I guess we'll fight for you if you'll fight for us but that's natural. Oh! I'll give you candy from Fish-man Island and Paradise we got a lot of that!"
"Yes I heard your little island is quite a trade hub... and what would you ask for in turn for such a gift?"
"Hmmmmm. Free entry to your territories would be nice. I could explore a lot without having to worry about it like that! And... Capone "Gang" Bege."

"My navigator Marcella has a grudge against him. He hurt her. And I won't rest until she gets her revenge. I'm sure you get why that's important."
"Silver..."
Mamas usually very cheerful attitude disappears. She gives you a kind of death stare that could probably kill any ordinary man on its own.
"I'm not sure you get this. But that request of yours is unacceptable! Like it or not Bege is not only part of my crew but he's part of my family as well! Not only will I not let you kill him, as that would reflect poorly on me but I won't allow you to feud with him like that! If you want to work with me you just got to deal with it!"
"Hmph."
You glare back at her.
"But. I'm willing to compromise! I'll let you have your way with him on several conditions. One, your navigator fights him fair and square. Two, neither of them can kill each other or cripple the other in any way. And last but not least... You got to become part of my family!"
"What?"
"Mamamama!"
