The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 164: More Money Required!!!

Not long after the Heberfeller set sail, a giant goldfish appeared on the sea.

"Thai ku la, such a big goldfish."

Beta's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he couldn't help but cheer, making it hard to look directly at him.

Not steady at all.

"Is this still a goldfish?"

Panda Man Pande stared with his panda eyes, dropping the snacks in his hands, muttering to himself that this was completely different from the goldfish he remembered.

"Idiot! This is a sea monster that eats islands."

"I can't stand it anymore!" Mitis shouted. "I've had enough!"

Pande is one thing, but why does Beta, as a senior member of the Hibernian family, act so naive and unsophisticated?

The giant goldfish opened its mouth as wide as an abyss, and seawater began to surge back into its dark mouth, as if trying to swallow the entire ship.

Charlotte remained calm. With a soft "click," a section of the Sky Cry was revealed, flashing with a cold light.

"One-Sword Style: Overlord's Slash!"

The moment Tianku was fully drawn, terrifying blade energy ripped through the sea surface, piercing through the entire body of the giant goldfish and creating a waterway stretching for thousands of meters.

Charlotte calmly sheathed her sword, and everyone's eyes trembled in shock; the attack was far too powerful.

Lina quickly directed the Hibernette to smoothly pass through the body pierced by the goldfish.

Charlotte was very satisfied; the power of this move, which incorporated some of the Titans' combined attack techniques, was surprisingly astonishing!

The combined attack technique is far more powerful than outsiders can imagine.

Without the guidance of a log pointer, the Hibernian lost its bearings for a time and was unable to navigate to the next island.

So everything depends on luck.

Fortunately, shortly after they got lost, they saw a pirate ship slowly appearing on the sea.

As expected, the pirate crew became even more excited upon seeing them and began firing cannons from a distance.

"Boom boom boom!"

The misaligned shells wobbled and fell into the sea near the Hibernian.

The waves surged high, causing the Heberfeller to rock violently.

Charlotte's eyes lit up, and she revealed an innocent smile.

"Get closer and take them down!"

The Hibernette quickly changed course and charged toward the audacious pirate ship.

Before long, Charlotte looked completely satisfied.

The Hippefeller, which was about to lose its way, was snatched by this unknown pirate crew and obtained the Log Pose for the next island.

So it seems... pirates do have some redeeming qualities; at the very least, they can be a source of wealth.

……

three days later.

The sea was calm and the sky was clear and cloudless. Seagulls soared with outstretched wings, emitting long cries, and drifted into the distance.

Everything looked absolutely perfect.

Suddenly, snowflakes began to fall silently from the sky, indicating that they had undoubtedly entered the waters surrounding Winter Island.

The towering, chimney-like mountains, with their snow-white peaks, look quite peculiar from a distance.

"What kind of island is that? It looks so strange!"

Beta's curious nature kicked in again, and she couldn't help scratching her ears and cheeks, looking exactly like a monkey... no, a restless ape.

"Drum Island!"

Charlotte gazed into the distance and answered softly.

Cigu Island is a winter island, with winter all year round and heavy snowfall. You'll need to wear some thick winter clothes before you go to the island.

This place possesses the Paramecia-type Gluttony Fruit and is a renowned medical superpower; these are important targets for them this time.

Speaking of medicine, we must mention the "Rumble Ball" that Chopper developed under the tutelage of Dr. Dolly.

This is a drug that can change the transformation form of Zoan-type Devil Fruits, achieving seven transformation stages.

Normally, Zoan-type Devil Fruits only have three transformations: human, human-beast, and beast.

Furthermore, the Rumble Ball can enhance its transformation form, which demonstrates its extraordinary nature.

It is quite obvious that this country has likely also studied the workings of Devil Fruits to a certain extent.

This is very important for the Heberfeller family, if they can develop a drug as stable as "Rumble Ball".

Ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruit users will also have more combat methods and abilities.

This is an invaluable technology! Since he's here, we absolutely can't miss it.

"Boss, look! There's a fire on the shore!"

Beta shouted and pointed towards the shore, interrupting Charlotte's thoughts.

Clusters of flames burned wildly in the winter snow, accompanied by billowing black smoke.

Charlotte looked closely at the chaotic scene and quickly made a judgment.

This is pirates plundering and killing; such scenes are commonplace in the New World.

The next moment, Charlotte's figure appeared in the town.

In the chaotic street, a solitary figure strolled leisurely, looking incredibly strange.

It seemed somewhat out of place with its surroundings.

The pirates nearby, who were already bloodthirsty, rushed towards him without saying a word.

Charlotte remained calm, showing neither joy nor sorrow, as if she were in a deserted place, seemingly oblivious to the existence of that group of crazy and ferocious pirates.

However, in the next instant!

With a flash of light, only death awaited them; hordes of pirate henchmen became victims of Tianku's blade.

"Charge! Take down the pirates!"

The Hibernian family members who had already rushed into the town shouted.

Moments later, they charged in all directions, slaughtering the pirates who were looting and killing everywhere.

"Hey, who's the captain of your pirate crew?!"

Beta grabbed a trembling pirate henchman and questioned him menacingly.

"I...we are from the Nore Pirates, our ship...Captain Nore is a user of the Light-Weight Fruit..."

Upon receiving the information, Beta immediately released his grip.

With a loud "bang!", the other person's body went limp and fell face-first to the ground.

After a long time, the town returned to its original tranquility, and all the pirates were wiped out.

"Hooray! We're saved!"

"Hooray! We're saved!"

"..."

Countless townspeople embraced each other and wept, their joy at surviving the ordeal almost uncontrollable.

A thick, fluffy snowflake drifted down from the sky, extinguishing the flames that had just been burning.

A large contingent of the kingdom's soldiers stormed into the town.

Facing a group of outsiders in black suits, they were treating the wounded, building shelters, and cleaning up the battlefield...

They looked like naval personnel, but their attire didn't match, leaving everyone momentarily confused about what was going on.

"Captain Dork, this..."

The kingdom's soldiers were dumbfounded. Upon hearing of the pirate attack, the king ordered reinforcements and they rushed over without stopping.

Encountering a heavy snowstorm on the way, the relief efforts were naturally much slower.

But at this moment, it seems the battle is over and they have been wiped out by a group of forces that appeared out of nowhere.

The captain of the Kingdom of Dork quickly fixed his gaze on a person with a sword at his waist and whose clothing was clearly of higher quality.

"Thank you for your help. May I ask where you all come from?"

Charlotte turned around upon hearing this and saw a group of royal soldiers with weapons approaching.

"Who are you?"

"I am Dold, the captain of the Drum Kingdom's guard."

Charlotte looked at the person in front of her and felt that he looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him before, but she couldn't quite place him. She then said indifferently.

"Oh! We just happened to pass by and wiped out a group of pirates."

The young man who looked quite like Dorke immediately spoke up.

"No, I'm asking where you're from?"

Charlotte was a little surprised, tilting her head and asking, completely puzzled, "Is this important?"

Just as the young man was about to speak again, Dorke shouted sternly, "Step back, Dalton, don't be rude."

Dolton? That name sounds familiar, and he even looks a lot like this Dolk.

"Please forgive me, but there have been instances of pirates disguising themselves as merchants, gaining trust, and attacking villages before, so Dalton is being extra cautious."

Upon hearing this, Charlotte smiled awkwardly. To be honest, they really were pirates.

However, he didn't say much about this matter, but instead continued.

"By the way, isn't the captain of the Norei Pirates here?"

"What? The Nore Pirates! That pirate with a bounty of 85 million Berries..."

The soldiers from the other kingdoms were all terrified.

Charlotte was a little confused. Was this pirate crew famous? He had never heard of it.

But thinking about it, he's a Devil Fruit user! That's a real headache, and ordinary people would naturally have a huge reaction to that.

Moreover, the bounty, even rounded up, is over 100 million Berries. This strength is still among the top in the first half of the Grand Line, which is quite extraordinary!

At the very least, there is absolutely no pressure in plundering countries like Drum Country.

"Oh no! The king is in danger!"

Dolk roared and turned to leave.

"Hey! Do you guys think you can beat that guy? He's a Devil Fruit user, after all!"

Dolk paused, realizing that the opponent was indeed beyond their capabilities, and then looked at Charlotte.

"You need to pay more!!!"

ha? ? ?

Everyone's mouths were agape, completely bewildered. What the hell was this?

It's impossible to work for free, and I won't do this for nothing. Doing this gives me a good excuse to carry out my follow-up plans.

It's still necessary to go through the procedures.

Just as the World Government blamed all the mistakes of scholars on other islands who were researching the "Void Century" on Ohara.

Not only were they executed, but they also attempted to frame O'Hara.

In fact, they had always been preparing for the complete annihilation of the Ohara race.

This seemingly foolish process can not only silence public opinion in the name of the law, but also truly serve as a warning to others.

World governments employ countless such tactics.

He had his own reasons for doing this.

He was still quite envious of the doctors here. The residents would definitely remember the doctors who helped people solve problems in the name of justice. What if that bastard king came to power in the future and did something as foolish as expelling the doctors?

Is it possible that the doctors here might choose to settle on Lati Island?

Since there's no harm in trying, I might as well give it a shot.

"how?"

After only a moment's hesitation, Dorke agreed, "Okay, no problem."

"happy!"

Charlotte admired the guy's decisiveness.

I hope you will all support me. Thank you all.
