"Papa did it again, Mosca-chan. He killed that nice guy I talked with a week ago." Madeleine grumbled as she slump on the chair.

Sitting on the couch near her was her uncle, Moscato who was busy looking over the bounty posters of some rookies.

Moscato was her uncle but since they're on the same age, she doesn't really call him uncle. He was actually more like a brother to her than an uncle.

"Nii-san is just worried about you. He don't trust those guys." Moscato said, his eyes not leaving the posters on his hand.

"He keeps doing that and I'll never get married!" she huffed, crossing her arms across her chest. "Why don't just send me to the convent to become a nun?"

Moscato let a snort. "As if they'll accept you there, you filthy pirate."

Madeleine grabbed the throw pillow near her and threw it to Moscato, hitting the man on the face.

"Hey!"

"Compare to you, I'm a saint." Madeleine pointed. "What are you doing anyway? You look busy." she stood up and made her way to his side, peeking over the posters.

"Nothing. Just looking at these troublemakers poster. Ever since these guys entered the New World, they've been causing us a lot of headache. Just the other day, this guy, Eustass 'Captain' Kid attacked our ships. Luckily, Macaroon was there. I heard he cut off the bastard's arm."

"Really? I didn't know that. Brother sure is awesome," Madeleine mused.

Moscato smiled. "Yeah. Peros-nii once mentioned that he's as strong as Katakuri nii-san when he was on Macaroon's age."

"If only he wasn't a freaking jerk." Madeleine spat in annoyance.

Moscato laughed at that.

Just then, the door opened. Macaroon stepped in. "Hey sis," he called with a grin.

"What do you want?" Madeleine glared at her brother.

"Papa wants us to accompany him tomorrow," he told her.

"Accompany?" she looked at him with a questioning look. "Where?"

"To meet the Vinsmoke's."

"Katakuri-sama, I thought you want donuts?" [y/n] questioned.

"Hmm... Yeah. I do," Katakuri lazily replied.

"Then how am I suppose to make it when you refuse to let me go?" [y/n] chuckled.

She and her husband we're on their room. She was sitting on Katakuri's lap as he held her close to his chest.

He was complaining about being hungry. [y/n] offered to make some donuts since it was almost time for his merienda but he won't let her go.

"At least let me go so that I could ask the chefs to make donuts." she said.

"Nope." he breath out, pressing his face on her neck. "I need to get my fill of you since I will be away for a week."

[y/n] chuckled, reaching to his head, patting it. "You're being a big baby."

Katakuri grinned. "But I'm your baby. Always have been. I just let Madeleine and Macaroon borrow you a bit. But now that they're grown up, I'll be taking you back."

[y/n] let a teasing grin. "Oh? Didn't you just sulked when Perospero-sama pointed out that Macaroon and Madeleine we're finally grown up at their eighteenth birthday?"

Katakuri leaned down and bit her shoulder, making her yelp.

"Wah!"

"You're teasing me, huh? Should I punish you?" he said, voice deep and husky. Hand, stroking her leg.

"No! I won't be able to walk for days again!" she pouted.

Katakuri's 'punishment' consists of taking her roughly and making love with her for hours.

Katakuri was a huge man. The last twenty years, his height grew drastically. His body too. Thats why it wasn't easy for her to take Katakuri in, now. If she was having a hard time back then, it was a lot more harder now that he was triple her height. He was already 48, close to being called an old man, yet he was still as insatiable as back then.

Katakuri chuckled. "I'll let you off today since I'll be leaving tomorrow," he said and pressed a kiss on the side of her lips. "But..." he smirked. "Once I returned, you'll be locked with me inside this room until I'm done loving you."

[y/n] sighed although there was a small hint of smile on her lips. "You're a terrible man, Katakuri-sama."

Katakuri, Macaroon and Madeleine left the next day. It took them two days before they reached Germa Kingdom.

"Welcome to Germa." a pink haired woman greeted the three of them when they docked to the kingdom's port.

Katakuri recognized her as the eldest daughter of Vinsmoke Judge, Vinsmoke Reiju.

Along with her, was a green haired man. It was the fourth son, Vinsmoke Yonji.

Katakuri narrowed his eyes at the man as he noticed something. Yonji was looking at his daughter and he didn't like the way he was looking at her.

Probably sensing Katakuri's mood, dampening, Reiju pulled her brother and pushed him away.

"Hey!"

"Go tell father that our visitors has arrived," Reiju ordered.

"Eh?! Why me?!" Yonji complained.

"Go!"

Grumbling, the fourth son left.

Reiju turned to the three and gave them apologetic smiles. "Sorry about him," she said as she turned her eyes to Madeleine and Macaroon. "Are they your children?"

Katakuri nodded. "Yeah. Charlotte Macaroon and Charlotte Madeleine."

The two bowed their head. They (Macaroon that is) we're warned to behave since they can't afford to mess up the mission.

Reiju smiled and bowed back. "My name is Reiju and I was tasked to guide you to the palace," she motioned towards the castle's direction. "Please follow me."

"So this is Charlotte Pudding, huh?" Vinsmoke Judge mused after Katakuri presented him a picture of Pudding. "She is a beautiful young lady."

Katakuri simply nodded. "I apologize for not having her here with us. She had to deal with some of her duty and we're unable to go with us," Katakuri lied.

Pudding has nothing really important to do. Their mama just didn't want to send Pudding. To their mother, Pudding was very important because of her third eye. Pudding was a hybrid from Three Eye tribe and it was said that the tribe could hear 'the voice of all things'. That makes her their mother's only hope in figuring out what was written on the poneglyph they had.

Judge nodded. "It's fine. I understand. It's actually our fault for suddenly requesting a meeting. The one who will be marrying her isn't here anyway so it's fine," he said.

"You'll surely meet her once you visit Totto Land." Katakuri said. His eyes then turned to the other man with them.

He stared at the second son who was sitting beside Judge, the blue haired, Vinsmoke Niji. The bastard was staring at his daughter!

He mentally sighed. He was kinda regret bringing Madeleine now. He shouldn't have brought her. It was just supposed to be just him and Macaroon but he felt sorry for his daughter who rarely leaves Totto Land.

Madeleine who was oblivious of Niji's lewd stares was happily looking through the window. In a distance, they could see the city. It seems that the young lady wanted to check that place.

"Madeleine?" Katakuri called her.

Madeleine turned to him with a questioning look. "Yes, papa?"

"Why don't you walk around the palace for a bit. I'll accompany you to the city later," he turned to Judge. "Is that okay?"

Judge nodded. "Of course its fine. Go ahead, young lady. Do you want a guide?"

The bastard Niji seems to lighten and was about to offer to accompany Madeleine but Katakuri interrupted.

"That's not necessary. Madeleine could find her way alone," Katakuri grinned under his scarf. "Instead of Madeleine, why don't spar with my son here, Macaroon. I heard Vinsmoke Judge's children were excellent fighters."

"Ooh... That sounds fun," Macaroon smirked.

Judge nodded, looking proud from what Katakuri said. He turned to his son.

Sighing, Niji nodded in response.

Katakuri turned his eyes to his son. "Beat him up," he mentally ordered.

Macaroon's grin widened. Even without saying, he knew what his father wanted him to do. "Leave it to me, papa."

Madeleine walked around the palace. It totally looked different than her grandmama's palace. The colors in there we're muted, unlike the colorful castle of grandmama.

She like Totto Land way better but it was still nice visiting a different place. Unlike Macaroon who was always being sent away to missions, she mostly stayed at Totto Land.

Sure, her papa brings her to some place from time to time but most of the time, she was on Totto Land.

"Wah!" a voice gasped.

Curiously, she turned to the sound and found a red haired guy, looking at her.

"Is he a Vinsmoke too?" she wondered.

"Are you Pudding?" the man asked as he approached her.

"Huh? Oh. I'm not," she replied. "My name is Charlotte Madeleine. Pudding is my aunt."

"I see. I'm Vinsmoke Ichiji by the way." he offered his hand while his eyes travelled down eyeing Madeleine's chest.

Madeleine who was still oblivious of the way the man was looking at her, reached to shake his hand. But out of nowhere, a bigger hand reached to shake Ichiji's hand before she could.

Surprised, Madeleine looked up. "Brother?!"

Macaroon grinned, shaking Ichiji's hand. "Charlotte Macaroon, nice to meet you," he said.

The eldest of the Vinsmoke's frowned for a moment before forcing a smile. "Yeah. Nice to meet you."

"Macaroon? I thought you're sparring with Niji-san."

Macaroon smirked. "Yeah. We're done."

"Already?!" Madeleine stared at him in surprise.

"Yeah. Anyway. Papa asked me to accompany you to the city. He was still busy talking to Judge-san," he said before turning to Ichiji. "And I think your father was asking for you."

Ichiji nodded although he looked displeased. He smiled to Madeleine. "I'll see you some other time, Madeleine-san."

"Okay," little miss oblivious, Madeleine, nodded with a smile.

As the eldest of the Vinsmoke boys turn his back and walk away, Macaroon gave him a dirty finger (he was already far from the Charlotte twins though), making Madeleine slap his hand.

"What the hell are you doing?!" she shout-whispered.

"You're so defenseless, sis. Didn't you see he was looking down to your chest?" Macaroon said.

"What?! Don't be absurd. Why are you and papa always assumes that all the men who talk to me are perverts?!"

Macaroon shrugged. "Because that's what they are. You're just like mama, oblivious and gullible."

"I'm not!"

"You are."

"I said I'm not!"

"Yes, you are."

The siblings argued even as they left the palace and head towards the town, below the castle.

At the Germa's sparring room...

The blue haired Vinsmoke cursed. "Damn you, shitty Charlotte." he groaned out as he lied to the ground, bloody from Macaroon's beating.
