"HNNNNNG! Fine. You're lucky that I'm this tired or I'd be on fire now."
"Silver..."
"Yes Nutmeg?"
"IF YOU BURN MY CLOTHES I'LL SKIN YOU ALIVE!"
Nutmeg shrieks as she gives you a noogie.
"OWOWOWOW! WATCH THE HEA-"
Thankfully Nutmeg stops bullying you once blood squirts out of your dome like champagne after you shake the bottle. Stitches quickly patches you up as much as she can but you specifically tell her not to use too many bandages so that it wouldn't be visible that you're gravely injured. After that you have everyone get ready and Murray steers the Dauntless towards Wholecake Island where the Charlotte family have gathered. You'd think that they'd be splitting up and searching for you wherever they can. But you guess they must've found her. Or rather they realized the moment all the homies in Totland were rendered lifeless.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NFQ9iJFg70You count the voices of 82 of Big Moms children. That's the ten Decuplets on your side minus three, one of which is Beges wife Chiffon, the other is her twin Lola and the last is Pudding. All the others are right there, huddled together in the center of the island. Right around the area where you left her. You can clearly make out their sorrow from the sound of their voices. Especially those of the youngest children whom the older ones are trying to console to the best of their abilities, despite their own sadness. Whether they feared or loathed her, Linlin was still their mother in the end.
But their mourning is simply not allowed to proceed as they slowly, one by one become aware of your presence which sullies the site of their grief. Sorrow is replaced by unrelenting hatred as the footsteps of your crew moving in unison becomes audible. Those who were holding the little ones up until now quickly move them behind the crowd to safety while the most senior and most powerful members all take point. It becomes clear that the one and only reason they haven't yet opened fire on you is because Katakuri has the presence of mind to hold them back. They listen to him, for now. But who knows how long until the tension makes their emotions snap.
"Cavalier!"
Katakuri shouts. The coldness in his voice is not something you expected but it makes sense. Now more than ever he must be that ideal big brother their siblings see in him, their very last bastion of hope in this world.
"You must have a death wish coming back here!"
"BROTHER! LOOK!"
One of the other children start shouting.
"It's them! Nutmeg and those other bastards! MAMA DIED BECAUSE OF THEM!"
You can see Katakuris frustration as he glances back. The last thing he needs right now is people getting emotional and riling up others.
