Summary:
Enraged by Linlin’s actions, Jorul tried to knock Linlin down, but was mortally wounded by the raging child. Linlin’s rampage finally stopped when the giants gave her a semla. Jarul was about to take revenge on Jorul, but Carmel begged him to spare Linlin, saying that she would leave Elbaf with her.
Jorul died and this incident earned Linlin his hatred for giants. Carmel and the children from the Sheep House moved to another island. Carmel had a secret meeting with Cipher Pol, negotiating to sell Linlin to the World Government. The children of The Sheep’s House later celebrated Linlin’s sixth birthday. After enjoying some sweets, Linlin found that Carmel and the other orphans had disappeared.
63 years ago on Elbaf, Jorul brought his sword down on Linlin, only for her to break his arm and topple the giant over, seriously injuring him. When other giants tried to subdue Linlin, Carmel told them to retrieve the semla they had stored and went up to the flames consuming the village of Elbaf. Using her devil fruit powers, Carmel gave life to the flames and condensed them into a small sun that she named Pandora. The giants stared in awe at Carmel’s seeming miracle, and Linlin went to sleep after fulfilling her semolina wish. Jorul urged the giants to take revenge on Linlin, telling them not to think of her as a child, and Jarul prepared to plunge her sword into Linlin. Carmel stood in his way and begged for forgiveness, and Jarul refused, saying that Jorul would die from his injuries due to his advanced age. Carmel offered to leave Elbaf with Linlin, and Jarul reluctantly accepted her offer, despite Hajrudin wanting Linlin dead. The next morning, Linlin went to Jorul’s grave with the rest of the Sheep House children, and to the giants’ surprise, she had no memory at all of how he died.
Carmel took her wards to another island where the giants built a new Sheep House for them. Life went back to normal for Linlin and the other children, and one day Carmel said she would be away for a while to buy groceries. Instead, however, she went to a government ship to speak with Cipher Pol agents. Carmel was believed to have placed the children of the Sheep House in foster homes, but in reality she was an Underworld child trafficker who sold children to become soldiers in the Marines or Cipher Pol. Her rescue of the Giant Warrior Pirates was also an act that resulted in giants like John Giant joining the marines. Carmel put Linlin up for sale at a high price, promising that she would be a powerful tool for the Marines or Cipher Pol. After completing this transaction, she decided to retire and returned to the Sheep House, planning to celebrate Linlin’s birthday the next day before handing over the children to Cipher Polo.
The next day, the children of Carmel and the Sheep’s House presented Linlin with a semolina croquembouche for her sixth birthday. Linlin was excited as she devoured the semla, and the friends she made cheered her on. She was so happy that her eyes filled with tears and she noticed that she took a few bites off the table in the process, but when she finished eating, she opened her eyes to see Carmel, the other children, and the table. , with only various scraps and parts of Carmelo’s clothing remaining. She looked around for them but could not find them, and when night fell she cried desperately. In the present, Big Mom is crying out in despair over Carmela’s disappearance and is desperate to know where she went all those years ago.
