The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 149 One Exception

Facing the sea breeze and sunshine, singing songs, the Heberfeller successfully returned to Lati Island, which it had been away from for a long time.

After entering the port, it was guided by the control tower.

The Hibernette soon arrived at the new port and headed towards the center of Lati Island along the newly developed waterway.

Both sides are lined with towering iron walls, and the man-made waterway is extremely wide. The boats that come and go here all bear the unique insignia of the Heberfeller family.

They all look like family members.

Soon a steel gate came into view, which had already been pulled up.

After passing through the gate, you soon arrive at a circular port area.

Charlotte was slightly surprised. This hadn't happened before. It seemed that Ivan had gone into deep development again!

After coming to a safe stop, Ivan was already waiting there.

"Ivan, did you do this?" Charlotte asked Ivan.

Ivan nodded, a smug look on his face.

"Boss, I felt the outer port was unsafe, so I built this inner port that leads directly to the fortress. Also, only ships and members of the Heberfeller family can enter here, which not only ensures secrecy but also enhances security."

rigorous!

Charlotte couldn't help but give Ivan a thumbs up; this guy was even more cautious than her.

When it comes to security and confidentiality, you can't argue with his intelligence.

This makes it more confidential, especially considering his extensive gains along the way and the fact that some of the people involved are shady characters.

If you were to pass through the town via the outer port and then walk onto Heberfeller Century Avenue, it would be too easy to give away the secret.

If the World Government or the Navy were to fully confirm the whereabouts of the missing target, he would certainly be in considerable trouble.

After all, suspicion is just suspicion. What do pirates know about science and technology? How many pirate crews even care about such things?

The common perception of pirates is that investing heavily and taking a long time is not as efficient as plundering.

Ultimately, this is exactly what most pirate crews do right now; indiscriminate killing and plundering are the main themes.

They are just a group of people who rely on strong military force but lack shrewdness, so their threat level is naturally greatly reduced.

"Great!"

Charlotte praised Ivan without reservation, saying that his vision and decision-making were beyond what most people could imagine, and that this would undoubtedly make things much easier for him.

With his bounty soaring, spies from the navy and other forces have likely already spread their spies all over the outskirts of Lati Island.

After all, news of his battle with Zephyr had already spread. Although he was defeated and fled, he had left a hideous scar on Zephyr's abdomen that could not heal.

Thinking about this gave him a headache. After a series of bounties, his bounty had been raised to 730 million Berries.

That's right, 730 million!

He, Heberfeller Charlotte, truly became a renowned pirate on the high seas.

Like Beta, Barrett's bounty has increased the most, one is $480 million and the other is $460 million.

The bounties for other people have also increased to varying degrees, resulting in a comprehensive and significant improvement.

There is only one exception here.

Pand!

That's right, it's this guy. His bounty points haven't increased, which is really enviable!

……

……

This trip was Charlotte's most rewarding one.

They brought back a wealth of scientific and technological knowledge, as well as two scientists and dozens of senior professional researchers.

This has provided tremendous support for the technological development of the entire Heberfeller family, and it is believed that more scientific research achievements will emerge in the near future.

It is foreseeable that the Heberfeller family's heritage will be greatly enhanced.

The most important and precious thing is pure gold, which can grant people near-immortality.

This is an immense fortune enough to buy the entire world, and it is naturally one of the Heberfeller family's most closely guarded secrets.

To this end, a secret vault with the highest level of security measures was built on the eighth floor, the core of the fortress, for safekeeping.

Equipped with the most stringent security system, it not only has 360° surveillance of Den Den Mushi (snail phones) without blind spots, but also has family members stationed there year-round to guard it.

To get there, one must pass through the seventh floor, where the lower-ranking members of the Heberfeller family are concentrated.

It can be described as an ultra-luxurious configuration.

With the help of a wisdom-enhancing potion, Pendor was able to effectively communicate with the artificial dragons created by Vegapunk, who obeyed the family's orders and formed a secret animal army.

Whether it flies in the sky, swims in the sea, or runs on the ground, it has all kinds of creatures; it's the most complete military force.

Especially the three giant dragons and the two kung fu bulls are the main force of the entire animal army.

This harvest could increase the strength of the Heberfeller family several times over.

Especially those incredible scientific and technological breakthroughs, once achieved, yield results that far exceed people's imagination.

Of course, this trip also yielded several Devil Fruits, which can provide the Hibernian family with several Devil Fruit users in a very short time.

This is a treasure from the ocean that can directly enhance the strength of family members.

Although the bounty had increased outrageously this time, Charlotte felt like she had won big.

Charlotte looked at the cabinet there, which contained the Devil Fruits he had collected.

There are four in total, plus one artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruit.

However, in his opinion, this one is the most valuable, after all, it is a mythical beast!

Despite its certain flaws, he considered it to be of considerable value.

The rarity of Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits is beyond question.

We can keep this artificial Devil Fruit for now. We need to find some people to use the remaining three Devil Fruits to increase the number of Devil Fruit users in the family.

Charlotte highly values ​​the two Devil Fruits that grant flight capabilities, as they are crucial for the Heberfeller family's air superiority.

Among them, the Zoan-type Insect Fruit, in its wasp form, is considered quite good, as he believes it can be used to control swarms of bees for reconnaissance and other purposes.

They need to be properly nurtured.

Once he had an idea, his mind raced with thoughts of suitable candidates, and he seemed to have found the right person.

Soon after, two figures appeared in his luxurious office, a man and a woman. The man was a bit overweight, and the woman was tall and slender.

These are the brother and sister, longtime members who have always followed him.

Brother Bob, sister Bao Mei.

"Boss."

The two spoke in unison.

"You've arrived. Each of you can have one of these two Devil Fruits."

The brother and sister couldn't help but get excited and expressed their gratitude repeatedly. They couldn't have imagined such a thing happening before.

They were just orphans who had lost their loved ones in the war, and here their bleak lives took a dramatic turn for the better.

Charlotte could clearly feel the intense emotional surge of gratitude and unwavering loyalty from the two.

Without saying anything more, he left it to Ivan to arrange, and gave the remaining Zoan-type Fox-Fox Fruit to Lina's maids.

Animal girls! Thinking about it is actually pretty exciting.

The entire harvest has now come to a complete end.

After seeing everyone off, Charlotte leaned back on the sofa, her mind racing.

This reminded him of two powerful, unclaimed Devil Fruits, and he should find an opportunity to bring them back.

After all, he's already a great pirate and has long been noticed, so he might as well take this opportunity to unleash his full potential and vigorously develop his family's strength.

With the Battle of Admiralty only a few years away, he needs to have the strength to dominate a region after the fall of Shiki the Golden Lion.

Only in this way can I continue to lie down safely and enjoy slacking off!

Farewell to Mu Er'er, fireworks year after year

Life is vibrant, and humanity is lovely.

Happy Year of the Dragon, may wealth flow in!

Good health and all the best

May all your wishes come true and may you be blessed with good fortune.

Wishing everyone peace and happiness in 2024, and a Happy Lunar New Year's Eve!
