"Erm... Mama?"
"Hmmm? Something wrong?"
"I'm just wondering why go through all this? Why not just kill them outright when they arrive? Why lie to them about making them f-family? I'm sure you alone could do it. Not to mention Katakuri and the others. So why?"
She glares at you for the first time in a way that could be interpreted as anything less than entirely positive. Annoyance, or more like mild frustration perhaps. Linlin then takes a deep breath and in a condescending tone tries to enlighten you a bit.
"Silver, Silver, Silver. Come here. It's all very simple you see. The thing that we want from the Germa Kingdom is their technology. Which is all located in their fancy castles. Which might get damaged if we fight near them. We don't want that. And yes, I could crush those bugs. But don't underestimate them. Their infinite army and the Vinsmokes especially, with their modifications would be annoying to deal with. If by any chance we can't kill them in a timely manner they'd just run back home and sail away on their mobile kingdom. In short, we need to eliminate the Vinsmokes far away away from their castles and do it quickly. And the best way to do that is by stripping them of their gadgets and hitting them with weapons that make a mockery of their modifications! And what better place to do that then at a wedding? We'll just strip them of all their weapons for "safety reasons"! Then we trap them with Perosperos ability and execute them! Simple!"
"Ah. I see now. Sorry for not getting it be-"
"And then I'm gonna eat all that delicious cake over their cold dead bodies! Mama-Mama!"
Of course. In a way the whole wedding is for the sake of Big Mom. Because she wants to have a party. And this is as good an excuse as any.
