The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 385 The Four Seas are the Real Money Bag

North Sea, the Don Quixote family!

Inside the brightly lit conference hall.

Doflamingo's face was grim, and the other senior family executives all looked somber.

With snot running down his face, wearing a blue spiral patterned dress, holding a scepter with a plum blossom symbol, and wearing small black sunglasses, Torrepol spoke.

"Young Master, our trading post has been discovered by the Navy again."

Doflamingo crossed his arms and rested them on his legs, speaking in a cold voice.

"Have you figured out where the problem is?"

Torrepol shook his head. "I don't know yet."

Doflamingo's expression darkened further. He knew that the Heberfeller family's goods were highly sought-after items, bringing huge profits to the Donquixote Family.

The current problem is severely impacting the family's original wealth, and what worries him most is that it will cause dissatisfaction among the Heberfeller family.

If that were to happen, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just then, a noisy Den Den Mushi (snail phone) rang out in the oppressive meeting room.

"Brubrubru, brubrubru!"

Doflamingo looked at the Den Den Mushi on the table and answered it without hesitation, while the other family executives all focused their attention.

They knew it was a call from the Heberfeller family, and compared to such a behemoth, the Don Quixote family was utterly insignificant.

"Crunch!"

The moment the call connected, a slightly deep voice came from the Den Den Mushi.

"Doflamingo, your family's strength has greatly disappointed us!"

Doflamingo knew things were going badly when faced with questions from the Heberfeller family.

"Please tell Lord Charlotte that this problem will never happen again, Mr. Ivan."

Doflamingo adopted a very humble attitude, although this did not represent Charlotte's own wishes, but everyone knew that Ivan was the head butler of the Heberfeller family.

Ivan handled many things himself, and Charlotte's trust in him was beyond question.

Corazon, who seemed to be doing nothing, secretly pricked up his ears. As a naval spy, he knew all too well how terrifying and dangerous the Heberfeller family was.

There was absolutely no information about its internal affairs, making it virtually impregnable.

"Rest assured, I will carefully plan the next transaction."

After Doflamingo finished speaking, he hung up the Den Den Mushi.

He then had to consider the internal issues of the family. Generally speaking, transactions with the Heberfeller family were confidential, and no one except the family's executives knew about them.

Especially this shipment, worth a full eight billion Berries, he needs to be vigilant and absolutely cannot afford any problems.

He began to wonder if there had truly been a traitor among the family's officials.

It seems that he needs to personally take charge in order for things to go smoothly.

Corazon listened to the plans for the next deal and, judging from Doflamingo's demeanor, realized the transaction volume was definitely substantial. He began to consider his options; this was an opportunity.

Lati Island!

Ivan put down the Den Den Mushi with a solemn expression. Recently, both the World Government and the Navy have been making quite a few moves against the Hibernator family.

There are countless active espionage activities.

The importance of North Sea as a huge market for the Heberfeller family's products is self-evident.

Giving up such a huge piece of the pie would be a painful decision for the Heberfeller family.

The New World is too small compared to the other four seas; the other four seas are the real money bags.

Therefore, he intends to give the Don Quixote family another chance, since the two sides have always had a pleasant working relationship.

Doflamingo's hidden identity also played a significant role; if all else fails, they will have to abandon the other party and find a new sales outlet.

The Vinsmoke family in the North Sea is quite impressive; they even call themselves commanders of Germa 66, so their military strength is naturally considerable.

The question is whether their true strength is really unknown.

Shaking his head, Ivan dismissed the thought in his mind; the most important thing right now was the deal.

This transaction involved a considerable sum, and after careful consideration, Ivan decided to dispatch a knightly order.

However, this matter needs to be discussed with Boss Charlotte first.

Ivan hurriedly got up and went to Charlotte's office.

Inside the office!

Charlotte smiled as she looked at the report in her hand. "Have they found new crew members?"

The world is rapidly heading towards the future!

The Red-Haired Pirates are starting to make their mark on the seas. Shanks, will you become an emperor this time?

However, upon looking at Shanks' headshot, his gaze quickly became profound.

Charlotte has always been curious about Shanks' identity.

It seems to have an unseen but significant connection with the Celestial Dragons, specifically the Figarand family.

The leader of the Knights of God, Figarand Garin, bears a striking resemblance to Shanks in his youth.

It is not difficult to see from this that there are powerful, low-profile families among the Celestial Dragons.

As for how many other Celestial Dragons are hiding in the shadows, it is unknown. After all, only the Five Elders came out during the last invasion of Mary Geoise.

It's shrouded in mystery; the more you delve into it, the more terrifying the world government becomes.

"Knock knock knock!"

Charlotte's thoughts were interrupted by the knocking. "Come in!"

"Boss!"

Ivan entered respectfully and spoke.

"Ivan, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"

Charlotte was a little puzzled. Usually, when Ivan came to see him, it meant that something had happened, and it wasn't something trivial.

"Boss, I would like to request the transfer of a knightly order."

Charlotte was a little stunned by Ivan's words. Normally, the leader of a knightly order would have the right to act independently.

There's actually no need to specifically seek him out to give orders.

"Are you busy?"

Charlotte spoke calmly.

Ivan nodded, and then told Charlotte about the changes in the North Sea.

"You mean there's a traitor in the other family?"

After hearing Ivan's words, Charlotte immediately voiced Ivan's guess.

Ivan nodded silently; as expected, nothing could be hidden from the boss's discerning eyes.

Having received Ivan's affirmation, Charlotte pondered silently, realizing that only the family's top officials were qualified to understand such an important transaction involving development.

Just like the deal between the Heberfeller family and the Beasts Pirates of Wano Country.

Important matters are handled by elite cadres, and only the cadres in charge of these tasks know the specific details of the transactions.

If you asked him if there was a spy in the Don Quixote family, one figure would instantly come to mind.

Don Quixote Rosinandi could also be referred to by his Hearts code name, "Corazon".

A child who was rescued by Sengoku in danger was successfully redeemed and joined the navy.

Finally, under Sengoku's instruction, he infiltrated the Donquixote Family as an undercover agent to capture his brother Doflamingo.

Charlotte was somewhat lost in thought; the two paths taken by the brothers had created two very different people.

Doflamingo's evil stems from the injustices, oppression, and darkness he suffered in his childhood, which distorted his personality, making him believe that only by being ruthless and vicious could he survive.

Conversely, Rosinante, having received redemption in his childhood, was filled with anticipation and tenderness towards the world.

Childhood experiences can indeed influence a person's entire life, and there are countless examples of this in the world of One Piece.

Charlotte's eyes flashed; this was indeed an opportunity.

The Navy and the World Government have been active recently, launching a series of overt and covert attacks against the Hibernator family.

It would be a real waste not to make good use of such an opportunity!

He had an idea in mind.

"Ivan, come here."

As they were talking, Ivan leaned closer, and Charlotte whispered something in his ear.

It wasn't hard to notice that Ivan's gaze had become more interesting.

After a moment, Ivan spoke with great conviction.

"Don't worry, boss, I'll definitely get this done perfectly this time."

Oda hasn't given a definitive answer as to whether Shanks is a Celestial Dragon, but there are hints in the movie (the hints likely refer to him being a member of the Figarand family). Interested readers can check it out.
