The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 361 Why can't I persuade him?

A new world, an unknown desert island!

"Jingle bells!"

The shipwrights of the Heberfeller family are repairing the damaged Heberfeller Thousand Mile Dragon.

Fortunately, the Heberfeller Thousand Miles was built based on the precious tree Adam.

Otherwise, the other ships would likely have been torn to pieces.

As expected! The ocean floor is still too dangerous.

Charlotte strolled leisurely along the beach; it would take quite some time before the boat could be repaired.

It was incredibly lucky that we were able to escape unscathed this time.

Lina was also still shaken; as a navigator, she knew all too well how dangerous the underwater whirlpools were.

She knew very well that if the Heberfeller Thousand Mile Dragon hadn't been incredibly sturdy and deep in the ocean, the Heberfeller family might have been the first force to be completely wiped out by the sea.

The thought of this outcome filled her with deep regret for not discovering and avoiding the danger sooner.

Charlotte looked at Lina, who was in low spirits, and said calmly, "Don't take it to heart. These things are unavoidable."

His tone was gentle.

Lina is not to blame for this. The sea is unpredictable, and anything can happen.

"But...we were almost all wiped out!"

Lina's tone was heavy.

Seeing this, Charlotte rubbed Lina's head, and Lina's delicate hair became messy.

"You'll learn your lesson next time, and besides, nothing's happened, right?"

Faced with Charlotte's nonchalant attitude, Lina, who had followed Charlotte for many years, knew all too well Charlotte's sensitivity to danger.

Moreover, Charlotte's grand ideals have not yet been realized, and if something unexpected happens, the entire Heberfeller family will suffer the most terrible blow.

Charlotte's words only made her feel more guilty.

If we had noticed it sooner, if we had been more vigilant...

Charlotte looked at Lina's serious little face and didn't know what to say for a moment.

How come I still can't persuade them?!

Not only did they fail to offer effective advice, but they made things worse with each attempt. This is truly appalling.

Just as he was thinking about how to comfort Lina, a figure was lying on the beach not far away.

"Lina, look over there, there's someone there!"

Without saying another word, he grabbed Lina's hand and headed straight for the figure.

Lina, whose hand was being grabbed by Charlotte for the first time, was completely blank and had no idea what was going on.

"Hey, Lina, are you alright?"

It wasn't until Charlotte's words brought Lina back to her senses.

"Oh...no, it's nothing."

Lina quickly spoke up to hide the embarrassment in her eyes, and then she noticed the little boy who was lying unconscious on the beach.

"Is he alright?"

Charlotte shook her head and kept patting the boy to expel the water from his stomach.

"Cough cough..."

A series of coughs rang out, and the other person finally opened their eyes, seemingly somewhat confused.

"How are you?"

Lina asked about the other person's condition.

A dozen seconds later, the boy, realizing what had happened, quickly said, "Thank you for saving me."

Charlotte was also a little confused; why did this boy look so familiar to her?

"What's your name? Why are you here?"

Lina asked with concern.

"My name is Bruno. I was bought from the slave market by a merchant. Later, I seemed to have encountered some unknown whirlpool at sea, and then I woke up here."

Hearing Bruno's answer, Lina also marveled at his luck.

But Charlotte was clearly taken aback. With that familiar face and name, he finally remembered who it was.

He is a future member of CP9 in the original work, and a Paramecia-type Door-Door Fruit user.

That's quite unexpected!

"Do you still have family?"

Lina looked at Bruno, who looked rather pitiful, and asked in a low voice.

Little Bruno shook his head; he was an orphan.

It seems that all members of the World Government's CP organization were trained and joined from childhood as orphans.

Lina looked at Charlotte. Although she felt sorry for him, it was Charlotte's decision whether or not to take him in.

"Then come with us!"

Charlotte said calmly, "A minor character with a name and a background can be quite good if he's trained properly."

The two then led Bruno along the beach, where they might encounter other people.

Soon the three of them spotted a wrecked ship stranded on the beach, which looked like it had almost no chance of survival.

Charlotte used her Observation Haki to sense two life-giving auras on the beach on the other side of the ship's obstruction.

After going around, I saw a boy and a girl.

Kaku?

That long nose is almost unheard of, except perhaps by Usopp.

Another girl, Charlotte, recognized her; it seemed to be Kalifa.

This might not be a ship disguised by the CCP organization!

Fortunately, the life force was very stable, so it was probably just that the huge impact made him faint, and there was no internal injury or anything like that.

However, for safety reasons...

"Lina, take the three of them back to the camp and let the family doctor take a good look at them."

Lina nodded, picked up the two unconscious children with one hand, and led the awakened Bruno away.

Charlotte's gaze fell on the ship, a CP ship that concealed its identity; who knows, there might be other secrets behind it.

Moreover, it seems like he hasn't experienced that exhilarating feeling of searching for treasure on wrecked ships in a long time.

This unexpected event has also presented an opportunity.

Suddenly intrigued, Charlotte walked straight through the huge hole in the ship's hull.

I'm inexplicably a little excited.

Some unrealistic expectations ignited in his heart, fantasizing about unexpected surprises.

The ship was badly damaged, and the bodies of some unfortunate souls, dressed in black uniforms, could still be seen.

Needless to say, this should be a low-ranking member of CP9.

Before long, he arrived at a room that was clearly luxuriously decorated. Although it was in a mess due to the shipwreck, it was not hard to tell that the room's owner was of extraordinary status and position.

Charlotte wandered among them, searching through them.

His gaze quickly fell upon the sturdy and intact large desk in the room.

Charlotte approached his desk and rummaged through it for a moment before pausing in his work.

He noticed a locked drawer, and a slight smile crept onto his lips.

Even if it's locked up, there should still be some treasure inside!

Charlotte tightened her grip slightly.

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and a delicate little treasure chest came into view.

Could it be a Devil Fruit?

Charlotte was secretly surprised; this shape and size could very well be a Devil Fruit.

He quickly shook his head.

It shouldn't be such a coincidence, after all, he once opened a treasure map in such an exquisite treasure chest.

Looking at the lock on the treasure chest, it was as useless as a decoration for the powerful Charlotte.

However, he soon noticed something was wrong.

The treasure chest contained seastone, especially the entire lock, which was made of seastone. This meticulousness piqued his interest even more.

However, this small sea stone lock has no effect on Charlotte at present.

It was easily pulled apart with a gentle force.
