The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 170 Using Money? This Has Great Potential!

Everyone looked toward the Boeing Islands. At that moment, a huge sea monster, like a manatee, rushed onto the island, twisting its body wildly and devouring all the delicious food.

The enticing aroma of food kept drawing the sea creatures toward the central part of the island's depths.

In an instant, the gaping maw of the Boon Islands, specifically the central island of Stomakbaron, opened wide, and the petal-like islands quickly closed, forming an oval bud that shot into the sky, swallowing the sea monster whole.

The spectacular scene was breathtaking, until a moment later the petals fell back to their original position and became an island again, without the slightest flaw.

"Thailand is bitter and spicy!"

Beta on the ship is now shouting excitedly; such a scene is rarely seen in the world.

Charlotte also gave a faint smile, thankfully their collection work was already complete.

The harvest of thousands of plant seeds and seedlings was plentiful.

"Boss, look what's that?"

Beta shouted at Charlotte and pointed to the sky.

Charlotte looked up and saw bubbles several meters in size floating in the sky, which seemed to contain seeds.

"That is?"

Charlotte didn't react for a moment.

"Mr. Charlotte, those should be the seeds of the Stormmark Baron. They spit out seeds into the sky at irregular intervals every year, but the vast majority are eaten by sea monsters and sea kings. Only a small portion fall into the sea, and not many survive."

Charlotte's eyes lit up, and he immediately used Moon Step to leap into the air, bringing back more than a dozen huge seeds.

He liked the idea of ​​being prepared, and then said.

"Mitis, put it away!"

"Alright, Mr. Charlotte."

Mitis moved extremely fast, and his use of his Devil Fruit ability became increasingly sophisticated.

We were lucky this time! We might not have such an opportunity again next time.

Let's go!

The Hibernette sailed toward the distant horizon, quickly moving away from the location of the Boeing Islands.

One day later.

"Sir, are you sure you want to stop here?"

Charlotte was a little unsure. There was only a vast sea around them, with no islands in front and no boats behind. How could they get there?

"Just stay here, someone will come to pick me up soon."

Kinricks stroked his long beard with great certainty.

Charlotte didn't say anything more. The other party couldn't possibly lie to her about returning to the island, so she patiently waited for the result to come naturally.

Beta shook his head. The observation post looked out over the vast ocean but couldn't see any ships in the distance. What was going on?

"You're here?"

Kinricks suddenly spoke.

"where?"

Beta looked around, even taking out his binoculars, but found nothing.

"No! Are you kidding me, old man?" Beta put down his binoculars and couldn't help but question.

However, Barrett suddenly slapped him across the neck. Just as Beta was about to get angry, Barrett pointed to the sky.

Beta, still somewhat skeptical, glanced around at the people around him, only to see that everyone else was looking up at the sky.

Beta looked up and saw a small boat with balloons hanging from it floating towards them. Beta stared blankly, speechless.

Charlotte suddenly realized where the other person came from.

Visalia!

Visalia, the little sky island!

It was a country with an environment similar to a floating island, where the entire nation was filled with meteorological scientists, making it a meteorological academic paradise that navigators dreamed of.

Unlike the Sky Island, the Visalia Island is a small island that is always in flight, and its speed and direction are entirely controlled by the wind.

The main idea is to go with the flow.

This also makes the island of Visalia elusive and difficult to find, requiring special abilities or means to reach it directly.

Just like Bartholomew Kuma's Paw-Paw Fruit ability.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Charlotte thought, her heart pounding, and she couldn't help but speak up.

"Dr. Kinricks, I wonder if we could be guests on Visalia Island?"

Charlotte looked at Kinricos, and in an instant everyone looked at him expectantly. A place where even the mode of transportation was so special was really intriguing!

"This, this, this..."

Kinricos was momentarily speechless; as a kind-hearted Vesalian meteorologist, he really didn't know how to refuse to answer.

Visalia has always been very private and cautious in communicating with the outside world.

Seeing Kinricos caught in a dilemma, Charlotte's eyes suddenly lit up.

He recalled that Visalia seemed to have traveled to some hot and arid countries to raise funds to help solve rainfall problems due to a shortage of research funding.

Money? That's a very worthwhile business opportunity!

"Dr. Kinricks, how about I provide your meteorological research with a one-time grant of one billion Berries?"

Kinricks' eyes lit up instantly, and he grabbed Charlotte's hand tightly, as if afraid that Charlotte would change her mind and run away.

"Little Charlotte, is this true?"

Seeing that things were going well, Charlotte gave a harmless smile.

"Of course, Dr. Kinricks, I have absolute admiration for meteorologists!"

He has plenty of funds; the treasure from Sleeping Town was exchanged for a full 3.5 billion Berries on Sigana Island.

It's only a billion Berries, they can afford it, and the weather technology on Visalia Island is quite advanced!

Kinricks felt something was off, but faced with the temptation of huge sums of money, he put everything else aside.

"Okay, it's a deal."

His face was full of excitement. Usually, when they came down from the island to Qinghai, it was mostly to purchase supplies, gather intelligence, or deal with funding issues.

His purpose in going down to the island this time was actually to solve the funding problem. He originally thought he would gain nothing, but unexpectedly he ran into a big tycoon!

Seeing Dr. Kinricks readily agree, Charlotte chuckled to herself; research was quite expensive.

With this kind of relationship, many things become much easier!

Anything that can be solved with Pele isn't a problem!

Moments later, the weather balloon spaceship landed steadily on the deck of the Hibernator.

An old man wearing a blue wizard's hat came down.

"Harrell!"

"Kimrikos!"

The two old men embraced each other excitedly, weeping with joy. But soon they huddled together, whispering to each other.

Charlotte calmly awaited a reply.

He wasn't eavesdropping; judging from Dr. Kinricks's attitude, it was highly likely, so he waited patiently.

"Charlotte!" Lina moved closer to him, about to ask something.

"Don't worry," Charlotte whispered to Lina.

"Mmm." Lina nodded obediently.

At this moment, the two old men walked towards Charlotte.

"Yay yay yay yay... Hello, my name is Hareda, a meteorologist from Visalia." Hareda, wearing a blue hat, spoke with a friendly expression.

"Hello Dr. Harrell! My name is Charlotte."

Charlotte answered humbly in return, and her kind appearance inexplicably made people feel good towards her.

"Yay! Yay! Hello Charlotte, I've granted your request. When will the funds arrive?"

Harreda, the man in the blue hat, is very direct, without any hesitation or ambiguity. He is purely direct, without any other emotions mixed in.

This can be described as an elderly man who dedicated himself to meteorological research.

"Rest assured, Bailey will be taken to the Meteorological Research Center once we arrive at Visalia Road."

Harreda, stroking his white beard, nodded, laughed heartily, and then boarded the weather ship to begin contacting the people on Visalia Island.

I hope you will continue to support me. Thank you for your support.
