The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 197 Who... really are you?

Coral Hill!

Fishman Island is a bustling port town where fishmen and mermaids are everywhere, but humans are rarely seen.

It's not very prosperous here yet, since there's no powerful figure to protect it, and many vicious pirates often come to Fishman Island to wreak havoc.

"It's human!"

"Have humans come?"

The surrounding merfolk and mermaids were all whispering and discussing Charlotte, Lina, and Gillian.

Even though they entered here according to the rules of Fishman Island, it still caused unease among the Fishman race.

"Charlotte, they seem very scared!" Lina said, somewhat puzzled.

Charlotte knew the reason very well: it was caused by many illegal immigrants, slave ships, and even powerful pirates who forced their way into the area to hunt them.

It's all due to greed; it's the fault of the world's nobility.

This situation only completely improved after Whitebeard appeared, protecting Fishman Island without asking for anything in return. Whitebeard's benevolence is truly admirable.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion in the distance caused a great commotion.

"Run! They're stowaways!"

"Quickly, go find the Neptune Army!"

……

Charlotte and her two companions headed straight to the scene of the riot.

A large group of pirates who illegally crossed the border are wreaking havoc.

"Gah gah! A female mermaid, a valuable treasure."

A guy with a full head of braids, big black lips, and green eyes like snakes was shouting wildly.

His body was like a lump of mud, clearly indicating he was a Devil Fruit user.

As the mud raged on, many beautiful female mermaids trapped inside screamed in terror, tears welling in their eyes.

"Help me!"

The next moment, the pale yellow soil transformed into tentacles that bound the mermaid's mouth, rendering her unable to utter a sound.

"Hehehe! Don't even think about escaping from my Swamp Fruit."

Anything that came into contact with his mud-like body, whether inanimate or alive, was sucked into his body as if sinking into a bottomless swamp.

Amidst his bizarre and arrogant laughter, little did he know that Charlotte had already set her sights on this guy.

Before leaving the Sabaody Archipelago, Charlotte bought a lot of information about Devil Fruit users from Shirley, one of whom was a frequent visitor to Fishman Island.

Donny Walker is a notorious human trafficker and pirate, whose name is legendary.

Unexpectedly, he actually ran into it.

This Logia-type Devil Fruit has enormous potential, especially its ability to temporarily limit the amount of stuff the body can be trapped in.

It's definitely a strategic-level storage box and a humanoid transport vehicle. This is far more powerful than the transport capabilities of the Book-Book Fruit of Metis.

He certainly wouldn't let it go.

"Whoosh!"

Charlotte appeared above the opponent's head and unleashed a punch imbued with Armament Haki.

Donnie Walker was somewhat shocked, but seeing Charlotte's physical attacks, he couldn't help but let out a series of strange laughs.

With a "thud!", the strange laughter came to an abrupt halt.

Donny Walker's face contorted, and he was sent flying backward, crashing into a house. His Devil Fruit powers stopped working and became ineffective, freeing a large number of the controlled mermaids.

Amidst the collapsed ruins, Donnie Walker struggled to his feet, blood streaming from his head.

He was filled with immense fear. As a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, he couldn't understand why he had been hit by a physical attack.

Its body looked wet and muddy, like a pile of mud with only its head sticking out.

"Who...are you?"

Without wasting words, Charlotte flashed over once again, her Armament Haki-infused hand locking her throat and firmly controlling her opponent.

Logia-type abilities are useless against Armament Haki.

Lina, understanding her instincts, quickly began preparations after Charlotte's operation.

The notorious slave trader and pirate Donny Walker was brought under control, and many of the rescued merfolk showed their gratitude.

Moments later, everything was ready, and Charlotte killed Donnie Walker.

With Donny Walker's death, more fishmen captured by his abilities were revealed, along with a considerable amount of treasure, Berries, food, weapons... you name it, they had it all.

It's clear that this guy has made a lot of money using this ability.

Moreover, this ability is indeed quite unique.

A short while later, a Devil Fruit appeared among the many fruits.

Charlotte happily picked it up; another Devil Fruit with powerful support abilities was now in her hands.

Fishman Island has had a fantastic start!

"Thank you for your hard work, Lina!"

Charlotte spoke softly, explaining that her ability to hunt down Devil Fruit users and steal their fruits was entirely due to the special power of Rena's Lucky Fruit.

He can be described as a person who has made great contributions!

The surging merfolk gathered around, expressing their gratitude to Charlotte, especially overjoyed by the death of Donnywalker, which brought tears of joy to many of them.

Many merfolk were captured and sold, and this infamous fellow was largely responsible for that.

As for the remaining pirates, they were all suppressed on the spot by the arriving Kingdom army, and the riot at Coral Hill was completely quelled.

Charlotte naturally became the most popular human on Fishman Island.

Neptune, the king of the Ryugu Kingdom on Fishman Island, known as the "Great Knight of the Sea," came in person.

"Thanks to the Heberfeller family for their help."

His attitude was incredibly sincere, expressing his gratitude for Charlotte's actions. Donny Walker, that troublesome fellow, was finally dead, saving many more fishmen from harm.

"King Neptune is too kind; there's no need for that."

King Neptune shook his head and said, "Please allow me to fulfill my duty as host."

He immediately arranged for people to prepare the Dragon Palace banquet.

Dragon Palace!

Located on the top floor of Fishman Island, where it can see the sun, is a large and luxurious palace built from large coral reefs, seashells, and other building materials, with a giant dragon coiled around it.

It looks very impressive and is extremely unique; it can be said to be a type of royal palace that is unique in the world.

Dragon Palace Banquet Hall!

The spacious and luxurious Merman Hall features a seashell-shaped stage in the center, where mermaid singers and musicians are performing.

Charlotte and the others sat on the seat of the giant flounder on Fishman Island, enjoying fine wine and delicacies.

Groups of beautiful mermaids danced gracefully, their fish tails swaying.

Mitis couldn't help but widen her eyes in amazement, exclaiming, "The mermaids here are all so beautiful! No wonder so many criminals traffic them!"

Beta was very interested in the flounder that served as a seat at the banquet, and would occasionally touch it with his hand.

The expressions on everyone's faces varied, but most showed admiration and curiosity for Fishman Island.

Neptune announced the start of the banquet, and a pleasant atmosphere quickly filled the entire banquet hall.

Charlotte and Neptune raised their glasses in a toast from afar, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

A moment later, Neptune approached Charlotte and spoke.

"Tiger wrote me a letter mentioning Lati Island and also the Heberfeller family."

Charlotte smiled slightly. "Oh, Tiger! What did he say?"

Neptune twitched his long red nose and said cheerfully, "It's a window for peaceful exchange between the two races."

"Tiger, this guy really gave it a very high rating!"

Charlotte smiled and shook her head.

Neptune looked at the person in front of him, and Tiger described to him what the "ideal land" he mentioned in his letter was like. He was filled with admiration for Charlotte.

"And I've heard that Mr. Charlotte has a deep hatred for slave traders."

Charlotte did not deny this point.

"Many members of the Heberfeller family were born slaves. It wasn't just me; almost everyone in the family deeply abhorred slave traders."

Therefore, the Heberfeller family always exterminated slave traders without exception.

At this moment, Neptune seemed to have made up his mind.

"Mr. Charlotte, I have a request."

Charlotte was taken aback, not understanding what the other party was planning. "Tell me."

I hope those who like it will give it their support. Thank you everyone.
