The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 247 Strike First

Lati Island!

After the transformation of Outpost Island was completed, Charlotte kept a close eye on the every move of Shiki the Golden Lion in the New World.

The raging fellow waged war everywhere, gathering most of the pirates.

Moreover, this guy became increasingly reckless, even attacking several member states of the world in succession. However, unexpectedly, the world government remained indifferent to this.

Charlotte also realized that simply waiting was not a good approach and that this was also an opportunity.

The World Government is having a headache because of the Roger Pirates.

Therefore, the only option is to strike first.

"Charlotte, are you alright? What are you thinking about?"

Lina looked at Charlotte and asked her kindly.

"I'm thinking that waiting isn't a solution?"

As the old saying goes, the best defense is a good offense!

His eyes seemed to hold a firm resolve.

Lina was somewhat surprised, wondering what Charlotte was going to do.

"So what should we do?"

A cold glint flashed in Charlotte's eyes.

"Spread the word that we will challenge Shiki the Golden Lion to a duel on Outpost Island and launch a full-scale war."

Lina was startled, but seeing Charlotte's determined gaze, she nodded.

"Okay, I understand. I'll get on it right away!"

After saying this, Lina turned and left to begin her next move.

Charlotte's eyes flickered, and her deep, husky voice echoed in the empty room.

"Golden Lion Shiki, it's time for our final battle! This battle will decide both victory and defeat, and life and death!"

"It's time to settle our score."

This time, only one side can survive and welcome the arrival of the new world.

Not long after, a piece of news from the high seas shocked the world.

[Total War!!! The Hibernian Family has officially declared war on the Flying Pirates!!!]

In the Gist Sea of ​​the New World, pirate ships blot out the sky, and are quite enormous.

They are the new Grand Fleet reorganized by Shiki the Golden Lion.

The once-mighty Golden Lion Shiki has returned in triumph, suppressing numerous pirate crews in a short period of time with his ruthless methods.

While it cannot compare to the strength of the Admiralty naval battles, its sheer number is still quite terrifying.

On the massive flagship of Shiki the Golden Lion, with a ship's hull atop his head and a cigar dangling from his lips, Shiki the Golden Lion revealed a cruel smile.

"Hehehe!"

Amidst the eerie laughter, a chilling murderous glint flashed in his eyes as he spoke in a menacing tone.

"Hibernette Charlotte, it's time for things to come to an end between us."

Looking at the newspaper, Shiki the Golden Lion showed no anger, only a terrifying, burning fighting spirit.

He, Shiki the Golden Lion, roamed the seas throughout his life.

From the Rocks era onwards, he participated in the God Valley Incident, formed the Flying Pirates, and became famous on the seas alongside Whitebeard and Roger. The Battle of Edward... he has never backed down.

Since war has been declared, we should respond.

He casually tossed the newspaper into the sea.

Shiki the Golden Lion stood up abruptly, his body hovering high in the air, and issued his first command amidst the wild swinging of his golden hair.

"Golden Lion Fleet, all members, proceed at full speed to the Lati Sea and annihilate the Hibernatore family!"

"Roar~"

The pirate crew members let out a deafening roar, their eyes filled with greed and madness.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

The sea was surging, and countless pirate ships, like a dark cloud, set sail in one direction, braving the wind and waves.

Any nation would tremble in fear when faced with such a terrifying pirate fleet; the sheer number of pirates was astonishing.

It makes it impossible for anyone to have the slightest thought of resistance.

Shiki the Golden Lion's newly formed fleet made no attempt to conceal its intentions, heading straight for the Lati Sea, where the Hibernian family was located.

They were menacing, imposing, and their presence was astonishing.

Lati Island!

A series of piercing alarms blared across the entire island, and squads of fully equipped members of the Heberfeller family swiftly sprang into action.

The war horns are sounding!

The first full-scale war of the Heberfeller family is about to begin.

Unlike previous operations, this was a large-scale military operation, the largest troop mobilization ever undertaken by the Heberfeller family.

Thirty newly built Hibernian family conventional warships, flying their flags, departed the port and headed toward the nearby outpost.

With the full support of the Heberfeller family, the Heberfeller Shipbuilding Company developed rapidly, and the Heberfeller family owned as many as thirty warships, not counting other ships for various purposes, all of which were steamships similar to naval warships.

These warships, specifically designed for combat, are characterized by their enormous size, powerful guns, and abundant power.

The war potential of the Heberfeller family began to slowly emerge before the world.

Such a massive troop movement naturally attracted attention, and various factions reported the unusual actions of the Heberfeller family.

Outpost Island!

This is an island primarily used for warfare, completely closed to the public, and a defensive island belonging to the Heberfeller family; it is also a satellite island of Lati Island.

The newly built, formidable war fortress stands in the center of the island, hundreds of meters high, its grandeur and size astonishing.

Directly in front of the fortress!

The constructed fan-shaped plaza directly connects to the massive arc-shaped port, a terrifying terrain entirely prepared for war.

Each fortress and defensive line was equipped with heavy cannons, enough to cover the entire battlefield.

Below the platform in the square were countless members of the Heberfeller family, their heads surging and their faces hurried, busily preparing for the great battle.

Large quantities of war supplies were transported to various locations on the outpost islands.

On the high observation platform in the square stood important members of the Heberfeller family. From this position, one could overlook the entire square and the port, with a very wide view.

"Charlotte, will Shiki the Golden Lion come here for the final battle?"

Looking down at the crowds coming and going, Lina spoke with some uncertainty.

"He definitely will! He needs to crush the Heberfeller family head-on and reclaim his throne on the seas in an invincible manner!"

This is Shiki the Golden Lion's only option; he needs to return to the sea to establish absolute prestige, so he will definitely choose this method.

He confronts the world head-on, declaring his triumphant return as Shiki the Golden Lion with an overbearing attitude.

Moreover, his reports on total war were aimed at seizing the initiative, and the battleground was set on the outpost island!

Given Shiki's arrogant personality, he would definitely choose to face the battlefield head-on, rather than be a coward who runs away in the face of battle.

That's the real Shiki the Golden Lion.

It must be admitted that this kind of courage is the true essence of Shiki the Golden Lion.

As for why Shiki the Golden Lion failed so easily, it was probably because he completely lost the spirit of the legendary pirate he once was.

Perhaps the blow was too great, or perhaps fear arose in his heart, or perhaps there was no place for him in the new world anymore.

"oh!"

Lina nodded slightly. After all, she didn't understand anything about fighting and could only follow Charlotte's judgment.

Charlotte looked towards the horizon, her heart at peace.

It can be said that he is not worried at all about the new Golden Lion Shiki's fleet.

They were nothing but a rabble, a bunch of worthless scoundrels.

Almost all of the original Golden Lion's direct descendants perished in that naval battle, so the pirates who were recruited were absolutely no match for the elite forces of the Heberfeller family.

It's important to know that every member of the Heberfeller family has undergone rigorous selection.

Starting as an orphan, he received advanced training at the Heberfeller Military Academy... step by step, he has been nurtured to this day.

The only one he cared about was Shiki the Golden Lion.

That was the only enemy the Heberfeller family worthy of serious consideration, and their only adversary in this battle.

Barrett's eyes flickered as he looked into the distance, remaining silent. He had already made all the necessary preparations.

"Come quickly! Golden Lion Shiki!" Beta looked up at the sky, his heart filled with anticipation.

Jin's gaze was calm, and it was unclear what he was thinking, but his straight and upright posture exuded a firm attitude.

The various family executives displayed different expressions, but each possessed boundless confidence in defeating Shiki the Golden Lion and utterly banishing him from the mortal realm.

This battle marked the first major war in which the Heberfeller family rose to power.

The Hibernator family executives have been eagerly anticipating this; it's time for the seas to gain a new understanding of the Hibernator family.

The powerful Heberfeller family should demonstrate its formidable and extraordinary war potential to the world.

To give the world a shock from the Heberfeller family.

Everyone is conserving their energy, waiting patiently for the arrival of the Golden Lion's new fleet.

The tense atmosphere of war was unprecedented, with a sense of urgency as if dark clouds were gathering over the city and it was about to collapse.

Each combat squadron is also ready.

This is a clash between two powerful forces, a rare occurrence even on the high seas, with nearly 20,000 troops on both sides participating.

The Navy is currently on orders from the World Government to relentlessly pursue Charlotte of the Roger Pirates.

After all, in the eyes of the World Government, "Pirate King Roger" is the most troublesome problem and the most powerful threat at present.

They learned everything about this world—what is the "Void Century"?! What is the "Secret of the D Clan"?! And what are the "Ancient Weapons"?! ...

Those secrets that cannot be known to the world must never be made public.

Therefore, the current war between the Heberfeller family and the New Flying Pirates is not taken too seriously, or rather, not urgent.

If these long-buried secrets were to be made public, it would inevitably cause a huge shock to the world government, which is something that must never be allowed to happen.

Even if pirate forces become stronger, they are still not as strong as the Navy. The Navy only needs to exert a little effort to push other pirate crews to their limits.

With control of the four seas, military strength is never a major problem. The vast power that has been navigating the oceans for hundreds of years is not something that mere pirates can match.

The new world is nothing but a cage.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Heberfeller family and the Flying Pirates can fight each other without hesitation.

Of course, the conflict between the Heberfeller family and the New Flying Pirates naturally attracted the attention of other powerful pirate forces.

This is about the emergence of a new hegemon.

Is the rising star of the Heberfeller family more formidable, or is the Flying Pirates, poised for their triumphant return, even more terrifying?

This is a major issue that has attracted much attention from the outside world.

This battle could very well lead to a radical change in the global landscape.
