The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 290 The Show Begins

Inside a mountain on Terslet Island.

With short silver hair, a black top hat, and a mask with a minimalist, eerie smile, he looked neat and capable in a fitted burgundy swallowtail suit. With his legs crossed, he exuded an indescribable, eerie charm.

Through his exposed golden pupils, he stared coldly and ruthlessly at the image on the surveillance Den Den Mushi.

A short while later, an elegant yet cold voice rang out.

"Hehehe~~ The show is about to begin!"

……

……

Tes Brewing Town!

Everywhere there were distinctive signs resembling large wine barrels, and the streets were bustling with people, with merchants from overseas frequently passing by.

Charlotte and her companions, wearing half-masks and plain-colored cloaks to conceal the distinctive insignia of the Heberfeller family, entered the town.

Fortunately, there were always people from overseas coming here to buy locally produced wines, so Charlotte and the others' attire did not attract much attention.

"Have everyone search secretly."

Charlotte spoke in a low voice.

"Understood, Charlotte."

Lina nodded and immediately dialed the Den Den Mushi to begin issuing Charlotte's orders.

Inside a coffee shop.

Charlotte sat quietly in the corner, a cup of warm coffee steaming on the table.

For some reason, he had been feeling uneasy ever since he arrived here, but he didn't know why.

I have a really bad feeling!

It inexplicably made him feel a little irritable.

Just then, Lina walked in from outside, interrupting Charlotte's thoughts.

"Still haven't found it?"

Charlotte, wearing a half-mask that revealed her delicate chin, picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip, and asked in a low voice.

"Not yet, there haven't been any discoveries in the town." Lina shook her head slightly.

Charlotte paused. "Not in town? That means the other party isn't in town."

That makes things easier.

The next second, his Observation Haki instantly enveloped the island, spreading outwards.

After a moment, Charlotte's eyes darkened slightly.

His Observation Haki detection of other areas outside the town yielded no results.

Were we scammed?

"Brubrubru, brubrubru."

A Den Den Mushi (snail phone) rang, interrupting Charlotte's thoughts.

"Crunch!"

Lina answered the call immediately.

"Report: The life papers of the family's intelligence personnel stored in the Temple of Life have just been burned to ashes..."

Listening to the voice coming from the Den Den Mushi.

"Okay, got it."

Lina responded and then hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Charlotte paused slightly, the meaning of which was self-evident: the Life Paper had burned out completely, proving that its owner was utterly dead.

They should have been met by Heberfeller family intelligence personnel upon arrival, but they have not been seen and have disappeared.

Now I never imagined that not only had the person gone missing, but that they were now dead.

Things seem to be getting increasingly bizarre.

"Charlotte, it looks like we're in trouble."

Lina said softly, "Everything was fine when we set off, but shortly after we arrived here, the family's intelligence agent was killed."

This can't be described as just a coincidence; it's as if they were deliberately waiting for them to arrive.

Charlotte's expression darkened slightly upon hearing this; he understood Lina's meaning, of course.

It's truly full of eeriness.

A sudden red light flashed in his eyes, and terrifying Observation Haki enveloped the island once more.

However, they still gained nothing. But in the next instant, Xia Luo's expression changed slightly.

His Observation Haki allows him to sense the life force of the ferocious beasts scattered across the island.

However, there was one place where no life force of any wild beasts could be sensed, like a stagnant pool.

That's weird, so weird!

"Is there a problem?"

Charlotte's thoughts stirred slightly, and she got up and walked outside.

"Charlotte, what's wrong?"

Seeing Charlotte's actions, Lina couldn't help but make a sound. She didn't know what was wrong with Charlotte.

However, she received no response from Charlotte and could only hurriedly follow behind him.

Standing on the street, Charlotte looked up and saw the distant mountains, which seemed quite conspicuous.

The anomaly is right there!

The next moment, Charlotte stopped and headed towards the distant mountains, with Lina following closely behind.

Furthermore, Lina used a Den Den Mushi to direct her family members who were away to quickly converge on the mountain.

Along the way, numerous ferocious beasts appeared one after another.

"Roar~"

In the dense jungle, a terrifying brown bear, seven or eight meters long, opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Charlotte.

The next second, Charlotte waved her long, slender hand and slapped the brown bear in the face.

The seemingly effortless attack, in the blink of an eye, caused the brown bear's face to contort, unleashing a terrifying force that sent its ferocious body flying backward like a ball with lightning speed.

"Boom!"

A series of heavy impacts rang out, but Charlotte's movements remained unaffected as she continued straight forward.

After a long while...

Deep in the mountains, within the canyon basin, Charlotte's expression finally changed.

A large circle of special trees emitting fluorescent light surrounds this place, forming a tranquil basin.

It's really strange that his Observation Haki failed here; I haven't encountered such a situation in a long time.

This is probably the place.

He originally thought the other party would hide in a crowded place where it would be easier to conceal their identity, but he never expected it to be there.

After all, although his Observation Haki can sense life, it is impossible to distinguish the aura of someone he has never met.

Therefore, he subconsciously believed that the town was the safest place.

Charlotte slowly stepped inside, and for some reason or another, not a single wild animal lingered.

This is completely different from when he came.

"Charlotte, something's not right here," Lina said, looking around warily.

"Indeed, it is very likely the lair of the mysterious person who obtained the Float-Float Fruit."

Charlotte's answer surprised Lina slightly, and at that moment, members of the Heberfeller family also arrived.

"There's such a place?" Mitis asked, somewhat surprised.

"It's quite surprising, the silence is unsettling!" Jin's voice echoed.

Beta rested his hands behind his head, watching everything with an indifferent expression, seemingly unconcerned.

"Alright, everyone, be on high alert!"

After giving his instructions, Charlotte walked inside. The area here was quite large, much larger than that small town.

And then Charlotte and a group of uninvited guests appeared here!

The mysterious figure inside the mountain looked at the monitor screen with a playful tone.

"I didn't expect the world's greatest swordsman to react so quickly!"

Then came bursts of strange laughter, and even the stern mask seemed to carry a perverse connotation.

"Hehehe~~ That's more fun!"
