The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 219 What a madman!

After meeting Shiki the Golden Lion on the day she arrived, Charlotte returned to the Heberfeller Thousand Miles to rest.

Having learned of the whereabouts and identity of all foreign visitors without ever seeing them, no one dared to set their sights on the Heberfeller Thousand Mile Dragon again.

After all, the port still has a huge chasm.

With such a blatant threat in front of them, no one dares to be so stubborn as to invite trouble.

Charlotte waited patiently.

We just need to wait for the pirate army to assemble, and then we can set off on the agreed departure day.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

One dull thud after another echoed from the highest platform in the town of Arlingreber.

Charlotte and the others followed the sound to the deck of the Heberfeller Thousand Mile Dragon.

Looking up, I saw more than a dozen pirate captains with bounties of 500 million.

There was also a group of loyal officers, including Chichia, Dasok, and the ship's doctor Indigo (Dr. Indigo), who wore a white coat and had a clown-like face.

They automatically split into two rows, flanking the golden throne in the center, looking quite pleased with themselves.

After all, showing off in front of tens of thousands of fellow pirates is definitely a great honor!

"Tch, a bunch of little karaomi, what are they so smug about?"

Beta looked on with disdain, thinking that most of the guys in the stands were actually not very strong.

The fact that he has a bounty of 500 million is probably due to his numerous evil deeds, which have accumulated over time, and his bullying of the weak and insignificant.

If the Heberfeller family hadn't been so low-key, whether it was him, Barrett, or King, they would all be big pirates with bounties exceeding 5 million. There would be no way for a bunch of trash in the stands to show off.

With the emergence of the core forces, hundreds of elite pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million followed closely behind the many great pirates, guarding the throne.

It looked very impressive, a grand occasion.

Of course, Shiki the Golden Lion wanted him to come on stage as well, but Charlotte wasn't very interested and politely declined.

Interestingly, Shiki the Golden Lion did not immediately fly into a rage; instead, he asked Shiki to restrain Rayleigh.

Charlotte readily agreed to the other party's terms.

He also needs to demonstrate the strength of the Heberfeller family to the world; simply remaining low-key is not advisable.

Perhaps it's because of the change in mindset after constantly becoming stronger!

And the throne in the center naturally belongs to Shiki the Golden Lion.

Captain of the Flying Pirates, Admiral of the Golden Lion Pirate Fleet, the King of the Sea with a bounty of 35 billion, and one of the strongest fighters on the sea.

Shiki the Golden Lion arrived, sat firmly on his throne, and as always, appeared from the sky with a large cigar in his mouth.

Countless hidden cameras flashed wildly, snapping away.

"What a powerful kingly aura!"

"It's Captain Skeeter!"

"We are certain to win this battle!"

"Oh ho~"

Below the towering stands, the pirate rabble roared and shouted, raising their swords, guns, and cannons, creating a deafening roar.

Lina was startled by the overwhelming force and took a step back. "This is truly astonishing!"

Beta and the others were also dumbfounded. This massive pirate army, numbering nearly 20,000 people, was astounding.

This is the first time I've ever seen this before!

"Will Roger and his men be able to escape successfully?"

Gillian spoke with some unease. To be honest, those people seemed to be having a really good time together, and she was a little worried.

"Don't underestimate that man; he's Roger!"

Although Charlotte was somewhat shocked by the Golden Lion's massive military strength, to put it bluntly, the number of ordinary people was of little use to the strong.

They're all just serving food.

Charlotte glanced at the enthusiastic pirates and shook her head slightly. How many of them could possibly survive?

It is estimated that most of them will perish in this massive battle. How many of those seemingly mighty pirates will survive?

As the saying goes, when a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. In another ten years or so, who will remember these spirited and valiant pirates who are here today?

And aren't those so-called legends and great pirates of the future remembered only because they were alive?

With a few exceptions, such as Roger and Rocks.

This makes it all the more understandable why there are so few reviews of major pirates during this period.

If you don't even know where you'll be buried after you die, who will remember those who aren't particularly outstanding?

The truth often lies hidden behind what has been forgotten.

The golden lion, seated on its throne, grinned maliciously. "Conquering Roger and ruling the world would be quite interesting!"

Splat, splat, splat, splat...

A series of footsteps, sounding like farts, rang out. Yes, it was the man with his own entrance background music, the clown-like ship's doctor Indigo.

"Captain Skeeter, it's your turn to speak to the camera."

Golden Lion Shiki laughed heartily, slammed his hands on the armrests on both sides, stood up domineeringly, and said in a deep voice.

"Brothers!!!"

The powerful voice echoed in all directions, and the jubilant pirates stopped their revelry.

Shiki the Golden Lion, full of pride and boundless satisfaction, spoke with great enthusiasm.

"Let us sound the war horns, ignite the battles on the seas, and conquer all enemies!!!"

Upon hearing this, the pirates, who had just been silent, instantly became excited and roared wildly to the sky.

"To conquer all enemies?"

Beta was somewhat shocked, "What a domineering declaration..."

"What a terrifying guy!" Barrett muttered to himself, looking up at the platform.

Jin remained silent, his hands in his pockets, his gaze fixed on the golden lion on the high platform, its arms outstretched and its golden hair flying wildly.

Lina crossed her arms, looking a little nervous. She was genuinely afraid of Shiki the Golden Lion's madness!

At this moment, everyone was shocked by this domineering statement.

Charlotte, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, remained silent. If he had even a couple of peanuts, he wouldn't be in this state of drunkenness, spouting nonsense.

Because only he knew the true fate of Shiki the Golden Lion: it was all just a pipe dream, a dream that ultimately came to nothing.

For those unaware of the truth, Shiki the Golden Lion's current remarks are bound to cause a global uproar.

Blood and fire spiraled out of control, making war inevitable.

Especially when they're attacking the enemy so openly in front of the whole world, doesn't the navy have any pride?

It is foreseeable that the navy will relentlessly pursue and attack when the Golden Lion Fleet suffers heavy losses.

That scene was truly... terrifying.

Charlotte's expression turned serious; this would cause enormous losses to the other members of his family.

This arrogant and conceited fellow is as unrestrained as ever!

On the island of Arlingreber, reporters from all walks of life, hidden in various locations, put down their cameras and dialed Den Den Mushi (snail phone calls).

This is the latest major news event from the front lines: Shiki the Golden Lion has finally personally admitted to declaring war on the world.

What a madman!
