Multiverse Family System: Rise of the Charlotte Family

---

The year was 1484 of the Sea Calendar.

It had been exactly ten years since Joey successfully enhanced both Big Mom and Katakuri's potential. Over this decade, much had changed—and now, an event of great historical significance loomed: the God Valley Incident.

During these years, the Rocks Pirates had grown to their peak. Their captain, Rocks D. Xebec, had grown restless. No longer content with being a mere pirate, he now sought to become the King of the World, planning to annihilate both the Celestial Dragons and their dogs at God Valley.

Yet for the Charlotte Family, this decade marked an incredible transformation.

"Ah! So good!"

Katakuri devoured a sweet donut with visible joy, his demeanor radiating confidence and cheerfulness.

Katakuri, a naturally open and carefree boy, Katakuri's self-assured nature remained strong. However, under Joey's teachings, he had also embraced the weight of responsibility as the family's pillar.

"Katakuri," said Perospero, lounging on the sofa with a sigh, "Don't you think you should cover your mouth? Maybe then, you could make some normal friends."

Despite being just teenagers, even they sought companionship outside the family.

"I don't need friends!" Katakuri declared, swallowing the donut. A grin stretched across his face, revealing his intimidating, split-mouth scar—a reminder of an incident at age three, when his love for donuts had led to tearing both sides of his mouth wide open.

Though he looked monstrous to many, Katakuri didn't care. "Big bro told me something important: don't mind what others think. People stare because they lack the strength to understand. I don't need anyone's approval. My job is to protect my family—that's enough."

With a firm fist, he demonstrated his resolve.

At just 10 years old, Katakuri was a Bronze Level 6 fighter—a monstrous power comparable to a normal Marine Vice Admiral.

Even Perospero, two years his senior, though bolstered by a Silver Level 5 talent, could only achieve Bronze Level 4 strength, barely nearing Vice Admiral level.

"Katakuri!"

The door burst open as Daifuku and Oven strode in.

"What's up?" Katakuri greeted them, his confidence unwavering.

Both Daifuku and Oven, aged 10 like Katakuri, shared Perospero's Bronze Level 4 power—a testament to Joey's meticulous cultivation.

The Charlotte Family's first five children were undoubtedly prodigies:

Katakuri, the strongest, stood at Bronze Level 6 power at the age of 10.

Compote, the eldest daughter, was a close second with Bronze Level 5 power at age 11.

Perospero, Daifuku, and Oven followed at Bronze Level 4.

But beyond these exceptional pioneers, the family's subsequent generations showed mixed talent.

The Charlotte family's second daughter, Mondée, along with her younger triplet sisters Amande, Hachée, and Effilée, were snakeneck hybrid.. Among them, only Amande possessed Silver Level 5 talent, while the others reached just Silver Level 1. At 9 years old, their abilities ranged from Bronze Level 3 for Amande to Bronze Level 1 for her sisters.

Next came the five sons: Opera, Counter, Cadenza, Cabaletta, and Gala, all born as quintuplets from ghostly ancestry. Opera inherited Silver Level 5 talent, while his brothers were Silver Level 1. Joey planed to entrust these boys with the legendary Yamata no Orochi Devil Fruit, while continuing his search for other Mythical Zoan Fruits to further enhance their power. These five were destined to become the family's elite enforcers.

Following them, Cracker (the 11th son), along with his triplet sisters Custard and Angel, displayed yet another standout. Cracker was gifted with Silver Level 8 talent, which Joey further elevated to Gold Level 1, preparing him for unparalleled greatness. His sisters, though less gifted, still reached Silver Level 3 talent.

From twins Zuccotto and Brûlée, to further sets of siblings born with unique origins—such as three brothers birthed from dwarf souls acquired via trade—the Charlotte family had expanded to a staggering 19 sons and 11 daughters in just 14 years.

"Katakuri, want a donut?" Daifuku teased, breaking the tension.

But before Katakuri could respond, Daifuku added, "Wait, don't. Big bro's calling everyone. He says it's urgent."

At the mention of their eldest brother, both Katakuri and Perospero immediately stood up, their expressions turning serious.

For the Charlotte siblings, Joey wasn't just their elder brother—he was their idol. Over the years, his teachings, leadership, and guidance had elevated the family to its current might. To them, he wasn't merely their leader but a figure of unwavering reverence.

Under Joey's direction, the Charlotte Family had risen to new heights. Each sibling carried immense pride in their name, their family, and most importantly, in Joey himself.

Their faith in him wasn't blind—it was absolute. A conviction rooted in the remarkable truth of what Joey had accomplished for them all.

"Let's go!" Katakuri declared, his voice firm as he led his brothers and sisters toward Joey's call.

The family's future was bright, and under Joey's guidance, they knew there were no limits to what they could achieve.
