The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 186 Making things up won't do; it'll be too disadvantageous.

Tom Shipyard!

Inside the dock, the Heberfeller was moored in a spacious berth.

Tom's eyes gleamed; the ship looked very well-made.

Charlotte was puzzled. The dock was empty and looked very desolate, which shouldn't be the case!

"Mr. Tom, as a top-notch ship repairman, your business here is terrible!"

"I am Tom the fishman," Tom paused, his voice heavy.

"As a renowned shipbuilding island in the world, the shipbuilding industry here is highly competitive, and the annual massive tsunamis that hit Water Seven have hindered trade with other islands."

Charlotte was startled.

No wonder he found it strange that there were so few ships here. Moreover, the sea train that Tom had worked so hard to develop had indeed greatly enhanced Water Seven's trade with the outside world and promoted Water Seven's prosperity.

This may be the other party's true intention in developing and building a sea train.

If that's true, he really is a remarkable man!

"Mr. Tom, please."

Charlotte spoke very solemnly.

Tom the fishman was somewhat taken aback by the sudden sincerity.

"Hahaha! Don't worry, Mr. Charlotte, I will definitely transform your ship into a magnificent pirate ship!"

Charlotte was taken aback for a moment, but quickly calmed down. His identity as a great pirate was impossible to hide if you looked at the newspapers.

"good!"

I wonder if Tom will leave with him?

The thought crossed Charlotte's mind, but judging from the current situation, it probably didn't work out.

Charlotte then looked at the many members of the Heberfeller family.

"Barrett, you stay here and protect the ship. The rest of you will follow Mr. Tom's orders."

"Yes, boss!"

The members of the Heberfeller family shouted in unison, creating a powerful atmosphere, and quickly got into work mode.

Charlotte left with peace of mind. Barrett would be fine as long as he was there, especially since he needed to exchange gold for some peles.

Before long, Charlotte brought Mitis and Jin to a CASHING company, which was a money exchange company.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

The staff member at window number 2 in the work hall spoke casually.

"How much should I exchange!"

Charlotte opened a large bag of gold, and the astonished staff stammered as they informed the boss.

The three were successfully invited into the Gold VIP room.

The appraiser carefully examined the gold artifacts and said, "Sir, this batch of gold you have is of excellent quality in terms of both age and purity."

"5 billion Berry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he handed over the contract with a fawning expression, "Please sign if you're willing!"

Charlotte was secretly pleased. Such a small amount of gold was worth so much; this whole bag was nothing compared to the Iceberg family!

Mitis looked displeased. "Hey, appraiser, are you sure it's only 500 million? We're ruthless pirates, think carefully about the consequences of lying to us."

"Ah...this...this!"

The appraiser froze, cold sweat pouring down his face, and exclaimed repeatedly, "Ten billion, ten billion Berries!"

Charlotte was genuinely surprised; such a huge kickback was outrageous!

He was really unfamiliar with these complicated currency exchanges, but fortunately, Mitis was very clear about them.

Otherwise, he'd been scammed! He'd suffered a huge loss.

In the future, we need professionals to do professional things, otherwise we won't even know what happened if we get scammed.

You can't just mess around like that, you'll suffer too much.

Stepping out of the trading company, Charlotte felt refreshed. "Great, not bad, Mitis. Thank goodness you were here!"

Charlotte exclaimed in admiration, "Look at the Hippefeller family, they really are full of talented people!"

"It's all a small matter, it's all a small matter, Mr. Charlotte."

Mitis chuckled awkwardly, his tendency to become increasingly uncontrollable when praised was becoming more and more pronounced.

Jhin was wearing a mask so his expression was completely hidden, but his eyes still looked somewhat unbearable to look at.

"Alright, let's go!"

Charlotte and her two companions carried the money box and walked away into the distance!

Not long after!

In front of the gate of the Thales Shipbuilding Company.

"Uh? Mr. Charlotte, aren't we going back to Tom's Studio? What are we doing here?" Mitis turned to look at Charlotte with some confusion.

Charlotte smiled slightly and said cheerfully.

"Acquire the company!"

ha? ? ?

The two were dumbfounded, never expecting that Xia Luo would do something like this—exchanging money to buy a company.

Of course, after learning about the current situation in Water Seven from Tom, Charlotte had a change of heart.

With the Heberfeller family expanding in all directions, how could they not have their own shipbuilding company?

This was a huge blunder!

In the world of One Piece, ships are an indispensable means of transportation, and their role and status are irreplaceable.

Therefore, it was an urgent matter for the Heberfeller family to develop and expand their shipbuilding industry.

He initially invested in the Heberfeller family's shipbuilding business, technology, and personnel, but unfortunately the results were not significant, and he lacked accumulation in many aspects.

Acquiring the shipbuilding company of Water Seven would be a very good solution.

Not only can we acquire a large amount of shipbuilding technology in a short period of time, but we can also acquire a large number of excellent shipwrights.

It directly and effectively boosted the development of the Heberfeller family's shipbuilding business.

Once it develops, it can not only solve the Heberfeller family's own needs but also accept shipbuilding orders and make money, a win-win situation.

The lobby of the Thales Shipbuilding Company.

He had a bare upper body with bronze skin and strong muscles, a rounded beard, and the words "Shipbuilder" tattooed on his left chest.

"How is Mr. Tellstone?"

Charlotte crossed her legs, put down her hot tea, and slowly began to speak.

Thaleston looked at Charlotte and the other two, and hesitated for a moment.

Two hundred million peles?

That's quite a lot!

These days, none of the shipbuilding companies in Seven Waters are doing well, and it's common for bloody conflicts to erupt over orders.

"Okay... I do!"

After some hesitation, Thaleston finally agreed. After all, he wasn't good at business, and without orders, his shipbuilding company would probably go bankrupt.

He couldn't refuse the conditions offered by the other party.

"Mr. Charlotte, please come with me."

Charlotte's expression remained unchanged. The conditions he offered were substantial, and the temptation was considerable!

As they spoke, he led Charlotte and the other two straight to the Thaleston Company's private shipyard, where there were many excellent shipwrights.

Charlotte naturally wanted to go and make her own selections, since there were quite a few spies in that area.

The secrecy surrounding the Heberfeller family is of utmost importance.

After a series of selections, Charlotte chose six boatmen plus one Thales, making a total of seven.

"Alright, from now on you will come back to Lati Island with me to set up a new shipbuilding company."

Charlotte's calm words stirred something within the group, filling them with anticipation for a better future.

As for the Thaleston Company's properties here, Charlotte let Mitis handle them.

He doesn't have the energy to continue running the shipbuilding company in Water City right now.

Upon returning to Tom's shipyard, Thaleston was placed directly under Tom's command.

It's a good thing to learn from others.
