The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 202 The Money-Grubber's Obsession with Money

Lati Island!

The Heberfeller Family Temple of Life!

Ivan comes here every day to check on Charlotte and the others' safety.

After all, this place contains the Vivre Cards, or magical items called Life Papers, of all the members of the Heberfeller family.

The wealthy Heberfeller family naturally had no shortage of funds, so they simply got to work on developing the biopaper manufacturing technology.

Life paper is made by mixing the owner's fingernails into materials. It represents the owner's life force and can be used to observe whether the owner is in danger from a distance.

This special life paper, which is neither afraid of fire nor water, is easy to preserve and has great uses.

When its owner is seriously injured, the Life Paper will burn and shrink to alert loved ones so that they can react quickly.

If the owner of the Life Paper dies, the entire Life Paper will be completely lost.

Moreover, as long as one possesses a portion of the injured owner's life paper, one can determine the direction and scope within a short period of time by following the guidance of the life paper.

This greatly increases the chances of survival for members of the Heberfeller family.

Therefore, Ivan called this place the temple of his family's life.

Whenever I feel uneasy, I always come here to check on everyone's well-being.

A quiet temple of life! Ivan stood there for a long time, lost in thought.

stomping on...

A series of hurried footsteps sounded outside the main hall.

A henchman rushed over and said, "Brother Ivan, Boss Charlotte and the others are back."

Ivan, who was initially somewhat annoyed by his younger brother's impetuousness, suddenly froze on the spot, said nothing, and quickly moved towards the door.

A moment later, Charlotte turned her head and saw Ivan rushing over, looking extremely anxious.

Charlotte smiled. "Thank you for your hard work, Ivan."

Ivan was both excited and saddened; without Charlotte in charge on Lati Island, he felt extremely anxious.

After all, this is the foundation of the entire Heberfeller family, the result of the hard work of countless people.

If he were to lose anything in his hands, he would have no face to face Boss Charlotte.

This is the result of Charlotte leading the Heberfeller family members in accumulating knowledge and experience bit by bit, leading to what we have today.

I was always worried about something going wrong, but now that everything is completely fine, with Boss Xia Luo back, everything is finally settled.

Our pillar of support is back!

"Boss, I'm not tired."

Charlotte patted Ivan on the shoulder, everything understood without a word.

While Ivan's combat strength may not be among the top in the family, his importance to the Heberfeller family is undeniable.

Without his quiet contributions behind the scenes, the Heberfeller family would not have been able to maintain such a stable and healthy development.

Charlotte understood Ivan's hardships; this guy would be all smiles as long as he brought back enough treasures.

Charlotte immediately gave Mitis a wink.

Mitis received the signal, understood perfectly, and secretly made an OK gesture.

"Brother Ivan, we've found so many treasures this time, enough to keep you up at night for days on end!"

Mitis crept up to Ivan and nudged his arm, saying something.

Upon hearing this, Ivan's eyes lit up as expected. "Quick, tell me!"

The excited glow made it seem like everything that had just happened was an illusion.

Charlotte shook her head as she looked at Ivan and Mitis. What a money-grubber!

Soon, a large group of people, led by Ivan, headed to a brand-new office hall.

A huge wall is embedded in the entire aquarium, where various fish, some tens of meters long, move freely, and they are quite enormous.

"Wow! That's so cool, Brother Ivan!"

This enormous fish tank is much, much larger than the one on the Hippefeller, which had limited space.

It must be admitted that Ivan, an aesthetic genius, definitely has a unique aesthetic sense.

Charlotte and her companions had been sailing for nearly a year and had been away for a long time. All the executives of the Heberfeller family appeared with smiles on their faces.

Ivan, meanwhile, was busy arranging for people to take stock of Charlotte and the others' spoils from the trip.

But the smile on his face showed that he was thoroughly enjoying himself, especially the enormous amount of gold, which made Ivan grin from ear to ear.

Oli was also interested in gold, but her interest stemmed from a sense of wonder and delight in the ancient Shandora culture.

The enormous golden bell, in particular, astonished everyone.

"Boss... how come I didn't know this thing existed?!" Beta was dumbfounded and could barely speak.

Charlotte shook her head, and Mitis quickly said, "Brother Beta, you were on a mission at the time, it was just me and Mr. Charlotte, so it's normal that you didn't know."

"Oh!" Beta replied, staring blankly at Shandora's Golden Bell.

Oli couldn't help but stroke the golden historical text above her head, as if she had found a priceless treasure.

This caused a gasp of amazement from everyone!

This is truly an unparalleled treasure!

Ivan had made up his mind.

He decided that he must build a special collection room to house Shandora's golden bell.

This will undoubtedly become one of the testaments to the Heberfeller family's legend, adding a touch of legend to the family.

What should we call him?

Ivan fell into deep thought, while Charlotte looked completely bewildered; Ivan's expression was as if it were magic.

From joy to shock, and then to contemplation... the changes were so dramatic that even Charlotte was stunned.

Charlotte didn't ask anything. She sat on the huge sofa, smoking a cigarette and sighing.

Home is the best!

Lina walked over. "Charlotte, what's the plan for all those Devil Fruits you've collected?"

Upon hearing this, Charlotte fell into deep thought, and he began to make a plan.

The Gluttony Fruit should be given to Dr. Ashie, since he is a scientist who studies metals. The Gluttony Fruit can use Devil Fruit abilities to synthesize special alloys, which would be of great benefit to his research.

He intended to give the Ghost Fruit to Ori, as this ability would help Ori consult complex historical documents.

He intended to give the Snow-Snow Fruit to Saga Yar, after all, he had made great contributions.

She researched and developed dozens of medicines and pharmaceuticals produced by the family, which not only provided strong support for cultivating the family's future talent but also served as a powerful pillar for the family's wealth.

The Giant Vegeta uses the Melt-Melt Fruit, which allows him to consume refined metals, making him incredibly powerful and potentially boosting his strength.

Charlotte's mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts.

As for the remaining Scythe-Scythe Fruit, Mirror-Mirror Fruit, Bat-Bat Fruit, Swamp-Slow Fruit, and Slow-Slow Fruit, Charlotte hasn't really decided yet.

"Uh! Some have been selected, while others haven't been suitable yet."

Charlotte shook her head. Too many Devil Fruits are a headache!

Lina covered her mouth and chuckled. Charlotte's flustered look was just too cute!

"Lina! What are you laughing at?"

Charlotte looked at Lina with some surprise.

"No! I just think someone is cute when they're thinking."

Huh? Isn't it attractive for men to think? What the heck is "cute"?!

"Lina, your analogy is completely inappropriate!"

Charlotte spoke up to correct him.

"I think it's very apt."

Lina looked very serious, as if she was completely convinced that what she said was absolutely correct.

Charlotte glanced at it and could only shake her head with a wry smile. Women really are unreasonable!

This time, the harvest was indeed enormous!

It not only replenished the Heberfeller family with a huge amount of funds, but also provided them with all sorts of strange and unusual special technologies.

He believed that with Ivan's arrangement, the benefits of these things could definitely be maximized.

Never underestimate a money lover's obsession with money.
