The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 269 They really did lose hundreds of billions!

office!

Charlotte sat on the luxurious sofa, picked up her coffee, gently blew on it, and then slowly took a sip.

"It tastes good!"

After a moment of reflection, Charlotte spoke calmly, without looking to the side.

"Quinn, I don't recall having any connection with your Beasts Pirates. What are you doing here at my Heberfeller family's residence?"

Charlotte's calm voice slowly rang out. He had only fought Kaido once, and he really didn't know anything about the other members of the Beasts Pirates.

He didn't know what the other party's purpose was in coming this time.

Bald, wearing sunglasses, with purple lips and a long golden braid, Quinn, whose figure was gradually becoming fuller, offered his hand with a fawning expression.

"Lord Charlotte, we're here to do business, of course!"

Charlotte became interested in Quinn's words; this business probably involved seastone.

Is it a specialty of Wano Country? I can't think of anything else besides that.

This piqued his interest; the sea stone had quite a few uses! It could be embedded in the hull of a ship to avoid attacks from Sea Kings, or used to make bullets, shackles, and more... to suppress Devil Fruit users.

However, the development requires the "stonemasons" of Wano Country to process it, which is somewhat troublesome.

Queen is one of the top members of the Beasts Pirates, a user of the Ancient Zoan type of Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Brachiosaurus form, and a trusted subordinate of Kaido.

Moreover, this guy used to belong to the research institution MADS. He was a scientist who manufactured dangerous weapons and germs and was very familiar with people like Judge. He also carried out a series of terrible modifications to his body.

It's a pity that Kaido beat him to it. Charlotte still admires Queen very much. He has both fighting power and scientific research ability, making him a rare talent.

Moreover, in his view, given Queen's terrifying modification technology, Kaido's focus on artificial Devil Fruits with their various side effects is truly like picking up a sesame seed and losing a watermelon.

Tell me about it!

Quinn quickly spoke up.

"Lord Charlotte, we possess a special mineral—Seastone—that can suppress the ability of those with superpowers."

Queen was full of confidence; this treasure was the only way to counter Devil Fruit users, an absolutely important strategic resource.

Any major power would be tempted by this.

The reason they approached the Heberfeller family was twofold: the family's immense wealth and its reputation.

Although they are not afraid of anyone defaulting on their debts, that would be too much trouble.

There is no doubt that the Hibernian family currently meets their requirements perfectly, and can provide the Beasts Pirates with a huge amount of financial resources in a short period of time.

"No problem, I'll take as many as you have."

Charlotte spoke up, saying that the more of this stuff the better, as it was extremely useful; the Heberfeller family had nothing but money.

Problems that can be solved with money are not problems.

Especially now that the Heberfeller family is building a large prison, he wants to build a terrifying prison like the City of the Fallen.

The demand for sea stone would then be enormous.

It must be admitted that the Beasts Pirates, by possessing the Seastone mines of Wano Country, are essentially sitting on a massive gold mine.

Later, they even reached a cooperation agreement with the World Government, and the amount of Seastone used by the Navy was truly enormous and unimaginable.

Therefore, the Beasts Pirates will definitely become an extremely wealthy pirate crew in the future.

They really lost hundreds of billions!

"Lord Charlotte is indeed magnanimous and extremely straightforward."

Quinn smiled, a smile that looked somewhat sly, after all, his research required a lot of funding.

The Heberfeller family was the first power they came into contact with, and he believed that as long as they made a name for themselves, Seastone would sell itself without any trouble.

"Hey, Quinn, we also have some artificial Devil Fruits here. Interested?"

Queen's eyes lit up as he listened to Charlotte's words. A whole crew of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users was Kaido's dream!

Quinn's breathing became rapid for a moment.

Charlotte chuckled to himself. It just so happened that Kaido liked beasts, so he would have Caesar Clown reuse the flawed artificial Devil Fruits he created and sell them to Kaido.

Anyway, Kaido is open to all comers. He can not only make use of waste, but also allow Caesar Clown to quickly accumulate experience and provide reliable experimental data for the Heberfeller family to produce diverse and flawless artificial Devil Fruits.

What a wonderful thing.

Furthermore, the artificial Devil Fruits that Caesar Clown has created are far superior to those in the original manga.

"Lord Charlotte, really?"

When Quinn asked, Charlotte replied kindly, "Of course."

"Ivan, go and show Queen our artificial Devil Fruits and the deal regarding Seastone."

Ivan, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't contain his excitement, which showed that his financial acumen was working at full speed.

"Don't worry, boss."

Seeing Ivan's expression, Charlotte knew that the guy had a plan; everything was understood without being said.

At Ivan's enthusiastic invitation, Quinn eagerly followed him.

"Charlotte, can they be trusted? Especially that Seastone thing, is it real?"

Watching Quinn leave, Lina finally asked her question.

Charlotte didn't know whether he could be trusted or not, but as long as there was strength and mutual benefit, a stable relationship could be formed.

Equal exchange based on strength is a guarantee, and mutual benefit is a necessary condition for everyone to get what they need.

Whether it's worth it or not is not important; as for the sea stone, it must be genuine.

Charlotte replied casually that the only difference between seastone is that the different purity levels will lead to different suppression effects.

Charlotte quickly fell into deep thought.

He wasn't quite sure what level of seastone purification technology Kaido's Wano Country had achieved.

To achieve a high level of purification and processing of sea stone, the special stonemasonry techniques of Wano Country are indeed required.

This is really a troublesome matter!

Perhaps he could buy some stonemasons from Wano Country from Kaido; that would be a good idea.

After all, not everyone is necessarily willing to accept the rule of Kurozumi Orochi, that puppet.

"Charlotte, what are you thinking about?"

Lina couldn't help but ask Charlotte, who was deep in thought.

"Let's assess the situation in Wano Country and see if there's anything we can gain from it!"

Lina chuckled softly at Charlotte's witty tone.

"Lina, what are you laughing at! Is it that funny?"

Charlotte was speechless. How could women have such a low threshold for laughter? What was so funny about it?

He doesn't understand at all.

Seeing Charlotte's expression, Lina explained casually, "No! It's just that I rarely see you like this, so I find it quite amusing!"

"Yeah?"

Charlotte looked suspicious; he seemed to be like this all the time!

This woman just wants an excuse to laugh!

Without further hesitation, Charlotte leaned comfortably against the soft sofa.
