The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 229 has potential, a lot of potential!

Three days later!

The Kendo tournament was held as scheduled!

A unique kind of carnival has broken out here!

Inside the grand and solemn Heberfeller Duel Arena!

The stands were packed with people, and the roar of cheers was like thunder, creating a lively and exciting atmosphere as the audience's emotions soared.

As a business genius, Ivan naturally thought of charging admission fees and striving to generate revenue for the family in every way possible.

Even though it was completely unnecessary, Ivan insisted on doing it.

He's serious about making money.

In the circular dueling arenas, swordsmen from all over the sea displayed their vigorous spirit and extraordinary swordsmanship to the world.

There were all sorts of gorgeous and cool sword skills, which drew thunderous cheers from the audience!

Some members of the Heberfeller family even recorded these swordsmen's exciting duels to be included in the Sword Garden as learning and reference materials.

When it comes to taking advantage of deals, they never lag behind.

A giant live-streaming Den Den Mushi was placed at an even higher position, broadcasting the match live!

This rare Kendo event was being broadcast live from places around the world where the conditions allowed, giving countless people a direct experience of the power and charm of swordsmen!

This has led to countless people admiring swordsmen, causing many kendo dojos to become extremely popular.

It was an unintentional act, I suppose!

This measure has greatly boosted the popularity of Lati Island and led to a significant economic increase.

This is reflected in many aspects, including catering, accommodation, tourism, and shopping.

During the week-long competition, many young swordsmen emerged who were truly amazing.

The strongest among them is Gom, who is known as the Snow Swordsman!

His handsome appearance and powerful swordsmanship are admirable, especially considering that he has challenged and defeated many world-renowned swordsmen over the years.

This also forged his formidable reputation.

Undeniably, the first champion of the Kendo Tournament was Gem.

The entire event thus came to a successful conclusion, without many unexpected incidents occurring during the process.

Some fanatical swordsmen even applied to join the Heberfeller family, which of course involved a rigorous vetting process.

The Hibernator family is not what it used to be; the Navy, the World Government, and other forces have all sent spies to try to infiltrate them.

Intending to uncover the deeper secrets of the Heberfeller family.

During this period, the Heberfeller family's crackdown on spies was extremely severe.

It must be admitted that spies are emerging one after another, and it is impossible to guard against them all.

Of course, even if spies were to infiltrate, they would have nowhere to hide from Charlotte. No outsider could set foot in the core area of ​​the family.

Charlotte kept a tight rein on this, because the Heberfeller family had just too many secrets.

Exposing it would be a huge disaster, so we must be careful.

The Garden of Swords!

Charlotte was somewhat surprised when she received the report from her subordinates!

Gem?

Charlotte couldn't help but laugh; that brat had been away from the Heberfeller family for many years.

Not knowing how much the changes were or how much his appearance had changed, as his thoughts wandered, a voice brought Xia Luo back to reality.

"Mr. Charlotte! I'm back."

When Grumby left, he had matured a lot, but he still couldn't hide his excitement and respectfully performed the swordsman's salute to Charlotte.

Hearing this, Charlotte turned around.

He looked at Gem with a smile in his eyes. Over the years, he had heard news of Gem challenging swordsmen everywhere. He was worried but also gratified.

The fledgling eagle will eventually grow up.

That boy who pursued his dreams with the aspirations of a young girl!

Now he has become more mature and stable.

Charlotte spoke calmly.

"Not bad, you've grown strong. Will you leave again after coming back?"

Gom shook his head. This trip had fulfilled his wish, and now he wanted to stay here even more.

"Mr. Charlotte, I'm prepared to spend my whole life studying swordsmanship here."

In response to Gem's answer.

Charlotte nodded. "Okay!"

Whether it's the master-disciple bond between the two, the status of a swordsman, or the stubborn boy he once saw, Xia Luo would not refuse.

The Sword Court needs more sword masters to guard it, mentor the younger generation, and deter external enemies.

"Gem, this is Senzo's current guardian of the Sword Court."

Charlotte began her introduction in a calm tone.

Chizō was excited. With another swordsman joining them, they could better exchange and practice skills, which was a great thing.

Especially since you can tell from their relationship that it's definitely not ordinary!

"Hello, Mr. Gom."

"Hello, Mr. Chizo."

The two greeted each other in a very peaceful manner, though they seemed somewhat reserved.

"Alright, alright, you two, you'll get used to each other. Chizuru, you can arrange things and show this place to Gem!"

"Don't worry, Lord Charlotte."

Senzo stood tall, knowing every corner of the Sword Garden inside and out; not even a speck of dust could escape his eyes.

This was the most comfortable place he had ever lived in his life.

Charlotte nodded. Senzo was serious and meticulous in his work, and especially since he often gave guidance to the family's swordsmen, he was well-liked by everyone. Charlotte felt at ease and did not linger there for long.

I just left the Court of Swords!

"Charlotte, I think it's time to form a squad!" Lina said slowly from the side. This was something she had been seriously considering for a long time.

Each of those great pirate crews has its own divisions, which helps them expand their strength.

Upon hearing this, Xia Luo was taken aback, and for a moment a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

Squad?

We really need to study this carefully.

The Heberfeller family certainly needs more power now to form a complete combat system.

Using squads is a pretty good approach.

"Lina, go and tell Ivan to come to my office. We need to discuss this."

Lina nodded and quickly left Charlotte's side to find Ivan.

It would be best to ask Ivan about this. On the one hand, he has been dealing with all sorts of complicated and trivial matters within the family, so his observations are probably more comprehensive.

On the other hand, this guy always manages to bring unexpected surprises.

Who knows what kind of ghosts might be involved... cough cough... good idea?

More than ten minutes later!

Inside the office!

Charlotte leaned back on the sofa, looking at Ivan.

"What are your thoughts on forming the squad?"

Upon hearing Charlotte's question, Ivan snapped out of his reverie and nodded firmly, saying:

"Boss, I think this is a great thing, absolutely no problem. The Hibernator family is no longer what it used to be. In addition to the headquarters' super combat power, forming multiple squads to provide support is essential."

"The squad can supplement and assist the main force of the Hibernian family in many ways, such as..."

Charlotte nodded. What she said was quite reasonable. Both the Whitebeard Pirates and the Golden Lion Fleet had their own headquarters and regular squads.

In other words, it involves gathering other powerful pirate crews to form a division, which is a well-worn structure.

Having a well-organized, regular squadron, modeled after the Navy's vice admiral-class fleet, was Ivan's vision.

"Any other ideas?"

Charlotte asked the question directly.

Without hesitation, Ivan voiced his thoughts.

Charlotte agreed, saying that Ivan's idea was excellent. She was right to ask Ivan to do things that required thinking; he was truly outstanding.

However, at this moment Ivan once again fell into thought, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Boss, we can also create special subordinate squads based on different types!"

Charlotte: ? ? ?

What kind of talk is this? I understand each word individually, but I don't quite understand the combination.

Ivan didn't keep them in suspense and patiently explained, "Boss, look how many swordsmen we've recruited this time who are willing to join the Heberfeller family. We can create a special squad composed entirely of swordsmen, give them a special code name, and make them stand out from the crowd."

"Furthermore, I suggest that this special squad should be directly under your control."

Oh... I see. Charlotte suddenly realized that it actually had some potential.

Besides him, the Hibernian family also has two other swordsmen, Senzo and Gom, making them quite formidable.

It's easy enough to assemble a special squad mainly composed of swordsmen!

A special squad composed entirely of swordsmen must possess formidable fighting power.

However, Ivan's brainstorming did not stop, and he continued to speak.

"Boss, I think we can also form special squads such as a maid squad, a beast squad, a science squad, etc., as a hidden force for the family."

This? ? ?

Charlotte was stunned. Goodness, this is truly a special squad; it's so easy to understand.

"Because these special squads are completely subordinate to the boss and can appoint key members as commanders, they are essentially the Imperial Guard."

Charlotte was completely shocked by Ivan's words.

He did not object to this, and Charlotte pondered this line of thought in secret.

Hippefeller is now a large and powerful family, so forming unique squads is no problem, and it seems like maybe they could even create a... beast girl squad!!!

Charlotte couldn't help but slurp unconsciously; the thought was incredibly exciting!

It's promising, very promising!

Of course, the specific arrangements were left to Ivan; he was confident that the other party could handle it perfectly.

However, regarding the beast girl squad... well, I can give you a hint.

"Okay, no problem at all. Ivan, you're in charge of starting it up."

Faced with Charlotte's earnest entrustment, Ivan's body instantly stiffened. "Boss, don't worry, it'll be fine."

Thank you all for your support. I hope those who like it will continue to support me. Thank you everyone.

Thank you, bosses.
