The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 339 This... is truly fate!

The City of Flowers!

General's Mansion!

Kozuki Toki said to Charlotte, "Thank you for your help, Lord Charlotte."

She knew very well that if it weren't for Charlotte, Wano Country wouldn't be in such a good situation right now.

She had already witnessed that terrible battle; such a powerful being simply no longer exists in Wano Country.

"Take what you need! I'll collect a few more things and then leave. The rest is up to you."

Charlotte spoke calmly. Although he was also acting for profit, he hadn't wronged anyone in what he did.

Without his intervention, it's no exaggeration to say that countless people in Wano Country would have starved to death under Orochi's cruel rule.

The current outcome is the best it can be right now.

Kozuki didn't say anything more. Even though Charlotte said so, she knew very well how great what the other party had done was.

"By the way, Lord Charlotte, as you requested, we have collected quite a few fine swords in Wano Country, and some stonemasons and orphans are willing to follow you."

Charlotte nodded. "Thank you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kin'emon walked in, carrying a katana. "Madam, there is a Devil Fruit here."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Kin'emon."

Kozuki Toki spoke gently, and Kin'emon's eyes were filled with tears. Although his lord had passed away, his wife was still so kind and did her best to maintain the stability of Wano Country.

This filled him with immense emotion, and of course, he was equally grateful for Charlotte's intervention, at least because of Charlotte, Wano Country had not completely fallen into the hands of Kaido of the Beasts.

"Leave it to Lord Charlotte!"

Kozuki spoke calmly.

Kin'emon respectfully handed over the box, saying in a respectful tone, "Lord Charlotte."

"Hard."

Charlotte took it, opened it, and glanced at it. She already knew in her mind that it was the Paramecia-type Dumpling Fruit.

After all, he had carefully looked at the Devil Fruits that were currently unclaimed in Wano Country, so he naturally recognized them.

Unfortunately, he still hadn't found the two Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits that he cared about most.

"Lord Charlotte, I would like to present you with Oden's famous sword, Ame no Habakiri, as a token of my gratitude for your kindness."

Charlotte was slightly taken aback. To be honest, he was indeed envious of the other party's knife, but it was just a hobby of collecting.

Now she's actually given it to him directly. Even though it's only one, he's quite satisfied. At least this woman isn't an ungrateful person.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."

As for Enma, shouldn't she leave something for others to remember her by?

The white-sheathed Ame no Habakiri looks quite cool, and it's simply tucked into my waistband.

Just as Charlotte got up to leave, Kin'emon respectfully continued to speak.

"Lord Charlotte, a warrior has requested to follow you and become your retainer."

Charlotte tilted his head. Ever since he became famous in Wano Country, many samurai wanted to follow him.

However, Charlotte did not accept the money. Many of those people had ulterior motives, and he did not want to waste his energy distinguishing them one by one, so he naturally refused them all.

He will only take on someone if they are a truly outstanding person with good character.

"No, I don't need it."

Charlotte shook her head and refused.

"This Lord Charlotte, that person has been kneeling outside the General's Mansion for three days without eating or drinking."

Kin'emon explained with a troubled expression.

This? ? ?

Charlotte looked helpless. This samurai was really stubborn. "Fine, just let him have some food."

Upon hearing Charlotte's request, Kin'emon immediately went outside.

Actually, he thought it wouldn't be bad to take in such a stubborn person. At least he was a person of strong character. He could then use his Observation Haki—mind-reading ability—to see into the other person's mind.

If there are no problems, then accept it.

Kozuki Momonosuke naturally didn't learn from the other retainers here; his training was also instructed by Kozuki Toki.

As for Hiyori, she was here with her mother, secretly glancing at Charlotte, after all, he was the hero of Wano Country!

His heroic and powerful demeanor during that earth-shattering battle has long made him the object of admiration and marriage desire for countless young women in Wano Country.

Charlotte naturally noticed it, but he didn't think much of it.

Shortly after, Kin'emon entered with a samurai.

The other party immediately knelt down on the ground, "Toraji greets Lord Charlotte, and hopes to follow you and become your retainer."

Charlotte looked at the young samurai named Toratsumi and asked calmly, "Why?"

When Charlotte asked him, the young Toratsumi did not hide anything.

"Lord Charlotte annihilated the Kurozumi clan. My family was destroyed by the Kurozumi Orochi, so I swear that I will follow whoever avenges me for the rest of my life."

Charlotte nodded slightly as she listened to the young Tiger's words. His emotions were genuine; at the very least, he wasn't lying.

Young Toratsumi looked at Charlotte without speaking and said anxiously, "Lord Charlotte, I can transform into a great demon."

In an instant, it transformed into a strange beast with the face of an ape, the body of a golden tiger, wings enveloped in fantastical fire and smoke rising from its back, and a snake-like tail, looking extremely mystical.

Charlotte was stunned for a long time. Wasn't this the bird-type Mythical Zoan-type Nue fruit he was looking for?

This... is truly fate!

The other party quickly returned to normal.

"How did you get it?"

The young Toratsumi said, "I was so hungry when I was running away that I fainted on the beach. Later, I found some strange fruit on the sand, ate it, and that's how I became like this."

Charlotte nodded.

Just in case, Charlotte stood up and held the other person's shoulder, finding nothing amiss.

Charlotte said, "Toraji, welcome to the Heberfeller family. From now on, you'll be a member of our family."

Young Toraku was moved to tears upon hearing Charlotte's words. "Thank you, Lord Charlotte. Toraku will repay you with utmost loyalty."

Charlotte patted the other person on the shoulder. "Go and rest!"

He naturally saw it through his mind-reading ability: the other person had come to see him without even eating.

This made him feel somewhat emotional.

As Kin'emon took Torajiro to rest, Charlotte also left.

There are other things here in Wano Country.

For example, Wano Country has always kept a red Poneglyph and the Second Generation Kitetsu.

The key figure was Kozuki Sukiyaki.

In the original story, Kozuki Sukiyaki was imprisoned under Orochi Castle. Later, he escaped and changed his name to "Tenguyama Hitetsu" and lived as a swordsmith in Amigasa Village.

Charlotte, knowing that one of the guys who hadn't died was aware of the news, naturally sent people to capture him.

"Charlotte, here?"

A mirror lit up, and Qiqiya's voice came through.

Before long, Charlotte arrived at the ruins of an abandoned city beneath Wano Country through the mirror.

"This is it. If it weren't for this guy, we would never have known that such a place existed."

Qiqiya spoke calmly.

Charlotte nodded slightly. He knew such a place existed, but he didn't really know exactly where it was.

It's truly unbelievable that there's such a huge ruin of an old castle in Wano Country here.

A moment later, in a secluded space, a huge red historical stone tablet came into view.

Its bright red color is truly astonishing.
