"M-MAMA?! You can't be serious!"
One of the older brothers shouts in disbelief. He looks quite lanky. Come to think of it his mug looks familiar.
"First there is this nonsense about some alliance with this hoodrat and now he's going to become a member of our family?! What the hell is going on Mama!"
The others are just as confused as he is, including both Nutmeg and the girl with the fat ass that's been bullying her. But none of them dare to raise their voice, opting instead to let their big brother do the talking. Sadly his words may have just fallen on deaf ears as Mama is none too pleased by this backtalk.
"Huuuuuh?"
Mama leans close enough to Perospero that he could see his own reflection in her eyes.
"Is that disobedience I'm hearing?"
"GULP! N-No mama!"
"Good! Now... What is this about? You raised a hand against my daughter?"
"Y-YES MAMA!"
Flampe cried.
"The big, stupid, stinky monkey hurt me!"
"A-Actually mama he was just trying to help me. Flampe took my birthday gift and he gave it back to me."
"Huh? Is that right?"
Mama looks at you as you nod.
"MAMAMAMA! Good! Stealing is quite bad! Especially stealing someones birthday gift! But I must warn you Silver. Do try to avoid things like that in the future. We wouldn't want to have an incident now, would we?"
"Yes Mama!"
"Just try to stay out of trouble!"
She pats you on the head.
Meanwhile everyone around is astonished by this display of affection from her. You even overhear some people whispering to themselves in disbelief.
"Mama took his word over Flampe?! But he's just an outsider!"
"Now... listen up children! I didn't want to do this now because this is the big day of the twins. But I have an announcement to make. Silver here is not only going to be my son-in-law soon but from this day onward we are in an alliance with his crew! I expect you all to treat him with the respect that he deserves! I hope I made myself perfectly clear! Now... GET BACK TO PARTYING!"
The blood freezes in the Charlotte children and they disperse as if someone fired the starting pistol at a race, leaving only you with Nutmeg as even Big Mom returned to her seat to continue the feasting. You take one look around and see from the corner of your eye that all of her children are now glaring at you but move their heads when you look at them. Looks like you managed to become the center of attention again.
"So uuuuh... thanks for getting back the picture. Flampe is such a spoiled little bitch..."
"No problem!"
"What's all this about you marrying into the family? Is Mama serious?"
"Yeap!"
"Why didn't you tell us?"
"I only heard about it now. I wanted to ally with Mama. And she agreed. But now she said I gotta marry into the family. Whatever that means."
"Ah. The classic bait and switch. But I can't believe she's willing to ALLY with anyone! Let alone you."
"HEY! I'll have you know I'm the best pirate in the world!"
