"Please continue to train us!"
The other Damselettes seemed to be infected, shouting in unison, the fear in their eyes gradually replaced by determination.
"Good! Now that's more like it!" A trace of satisfaction finally appeared on Lilith's face... On the other side, as soon as Charlotte Linlin returned to her room, she deactivated her 'divine equipment'.
The light purple bodysuit dissipated into dots of purple light. She took a long breath and fell backward, throwing herself into the embrace of the soft bed.
Paralyzed on the bed, Charlotte Linlin recalled her missing top and spoke lazily:
"Gölz, where exactly did my original clothes go?"
It wasn't until Charlotte Linlin deactivated her divine equipment, revealing her smooth shoulders and undergarments, that Gölz realized the problem belatedly—they clearly hadn't found Linlin's other clothes, so where did this divine equipment come from?
She had been staring at Charlotte Linlin, watching that strange outfit completely dissipate, only then realizing how disrespectful her previous gaze had been. Fortunately, the exhausted Charlotte Linlin seemed completely unaware.
"Lord Thunder God..."
Gölz sat down on her knees with a thud, her huge body trembling slightly due to unease. Her head was bowed, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito's buzz.
"Your... your clothes, I... I accidentally tore them last night... Please punish me."
"Ah? You broke them~"
Charlotte Linlin responded lazily, not angry. She propped herself up and looked at the giant child in front of her, who looked like she had done something wrong and was waiting for a parent's criticism.
Even without using Observation Haki, she could clearly feel the strong unease and fear radiating from Gölz, very much like how she looked in her previous life when she accidentally broke a dish as a child.
Charlotte Linlin understood that in this situation, a light 'it's okay' would not soothe a sensitive and fragile heart.
She got up, walked to the kneeling Gölz, reached out to gently stroke her long golden hair, and then pressed her forehead against Gölz's lowered forehead. Her voice was gentle, like the warm spring sun:
"Then do you know what you did wrong? How do you plan to make up for this mistake?"
Feeling the warmth and tolerance close at hand, Gölz looked up and gazed into Charlotte Linlin's smiling eyes. The panic in her heart was instantly washed away by a warm current, and she said hurriedly:
"I-I know I was wrong! I plan to make a new, better, and more beautiful outfit for Lord Thunder God!"
"Well, a good child corrects their mistakes." Charlotte Linlin smiled and gently pinched the tip of Gölz's nose with her finger.
"Then I'll be looking forward to your new clothes."
After saying that, she lay back on the bed; now she really didn't want to move even a single finger.
As for whether she had other spare clothes? The answer was truly no.
Firstly, with her height of nearly nine meters, every piece of clothing required special customization with high-quality materials, as ordinary fabric simply couldn't handle the strain. The latest sets she had ordered hadn't been picked up before she became a pirate.
Secondly, her body seemed to still be developing during this period, and her old clothes truly didn't fit anymore.
"No problem! Leave it to me!" Gölz was instantly full of energy, patting her chest in guarantee.
"I will definitely finish it before the banquet tonight!"
"By the way, Lord Thunder God!" She seemed to think of something, her eyes sparkling.
"Can I be in charge of making all your clothes in the future? I will definitely make the most well-fitting and beautiful ones!"
"Sure, I'll leave them all to you then," Charlotte Linlin responded languidly with her eyes closed, then added with a hint of teasing,
"But, don't take my old clothes and do anything strange with them~"
"Absolutely not!" Gölz's face suddenly turned bright red, and she waved her hands repeatedly... Night fell, and below the giant stone statue in the center of Hachinosu Island, it was now brightly lit.
The sounds of clamor, laughter, and clinking glasses intertwined. A huge bonfire crackled, and the aroma of roasted meat mixed with the scent of alcohol filled the air.
Tens of thousands of pirates gathered here from all over the island. They were of various forms and had fierce temperaments, but at this moment, they were all immersed in the carnival atmosphere of the banquet. Waiters carried huge trays and wine barrels through the crowd, so busy their feet barely touched the ground.
This was the grand welcome feast held by the Rocks Pirates for their new great executive.
