The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 401 This is still an extremely rare occurrence.

The deal between the Heberfeller family and the Beasts Pirates went smoothly.

Kaido successfully took away ten failed attempts at creating ancient giants, and seemed quite satisfied.

Sometimes even Charlotte had some doubts.

Why does Kaido admire the ancient giants so much, even those who are failed experiments, and have such a great interest in them?

In his opinion, although these defeated ancient giants were very powerful, they were nothing special to Kaido!

In fact, the other party could have easily targeted the samurai of Wano Country; why bother going to such lengths when the opportunity was so close at hand?

I can't figure it out, I just can't understand it.

Charlotte shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Anyway, he was quite satisfied with the outcome, at least he had recouped some of his investment.

However, Charlotte had no interest in the mindless ancient giants; their usefulness was too limited, serving no purpose other than mindless destruction.

Further development is needed.

He still hoped to build a normal giant force, which was essential for the growth of the Heberfeller family.

Charlotte looked at it for a moment, then turned and left.

Not long after!

Heberfeller Amusement Park!

This is one of the places where members of the Heberfeller family relax and have fun, and it is not open to the public.

It is one of the benefits of the Heberfeller family.

Many members of the Heberfeller family come here to relax, have fun, dine, and drink tea...

Of course, all members of the Heberfeller family get to do this for free.

This is called the beautiful construction of the spiritual world.

"Boss!"

Voices rang out nearby as members of the Heberfeller family greeted him with their signature salute, to which Charlotte smiled and nodded.

He came here just to take a look around and check on everyone's morale.

The members of the Heberfeller family have fought countless battles, and the immense pressure of years of life-or-death combat can cause great mental and physical exhaustion.

Fortunately, everyone here seemed to be in good spirits, and Charlotte realized that her worries were somewhat unnecessary.

This is somewhat of an unnecessary worry.

"Lord Charlotte!"

A call interrupted Charlotte's thoughts. Turning her head, she saw the three Hancock sisters rushing towards her.

"Hey, aren't you three supposed to be in class today? Hancock, did you skip class?"

Charlotte spoke up, somewhat surprised, noting that the management of the Heberfeller family's military academy was very strict.

Approaching Charlotte, Hancock pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved, and said, "Lord Charlotte, aren't you taking a day off today?"

"I see!"

Charlotte nodded, having completely forgotten about it, and spoke gently as she looked at the other person.

"It's my fault, I forgot about it."

Little Hancock was suddenly charmed by Charlotte's gentle demeanor. "So kind!"

In an instant, her face flushed red.

Charlotte was startled. Could this little girl have caught a cold?

"Hancock, do you have a fever? Should we see a doctor?"

Hancock's heart pounded wildly at Charlotte's sudden concern.

"Lord Charlotte is concerned about her health... Ah... I have no regrets in my life!"

Hancock instantly covered her face with her hands, her mind racing with wild thoughts.

Charlotte, however, was completely oblivious to Hancock's awkward movements; it seemed that Hancock was feeling quite unwell!

Without saying a word, he picked up Hancock and headed towards the hospital.

Hancock nestled shyly against Charlotte's chest, "Charlotte-sama's chest... smells so good, so warm!!!"

He was unaware of the other party's thoughts because Charlotte's Observation Haki was ineffective against Hancock.

This is still an extremely rare occurrence.

Charlotte estimated that this situation was most likely caused by the opponent's Devil Fruit ability.

Hancock's Devil Fruit is quite unique; it's a cherry-fruit composed of two different colored forms.

It is very likely that there are two forms.

However, he wasn't sure about this idea, as Hancock had only just begun to develop and use her powerful Devil Fruit abilities.

Most importantly, the description of this Devil Fruit in the Devil Fruit encyclopedia is very vague.

Inside the hospital!

After carefully examining the items repeatedly, Gillian calmly spoke to Charlotte.

"There are no physical problems, it's just that my heart rate is fast and my emotions are fluctuating quite a bit."

Charlotte frowned slightly and asked, "What's going on?" After a moment of silence, she said...

"Does the damage Hancock's past experiences inflicted on her still linger in her heart? Is there any way to heal it?"

When Charlotte asked her, Gillian shook her head; she didn't know either.

Hancock looked somewhat weak in her hospital bed.

However, her eyes had already turned into hearts, and she was staring at the tall and handsome Charlotte with a look of infatuation.

"I'm so happy! Lord Charlotte cares about her! It's a blessing from heaven, even the heavens want me to marry Lord Charlotte!"

Unaware of the situation, Charlotte could only give Gillian instructions.

"Then Gillian, you should pay more attention to Hancock!"

It's important to know that Hancock is one of the family's most powerful future fighters and a key talent that the entire family is focusing on developing.

This naturally includes Yamato, Robin and Terfalgar Law, Hancock's two sisters.

They will be a strong support for the Heberfeller family, and he cannot afford to be careless.

Charlotte did indeed hope to resolve Hancock's past issues so as not to have any negative impact on her.

Just then, Lina walked in, her graceful figure making one's heart flutter.

Hancock, who had just been completely infatuated, immediately went on high alert.

Lina—Charlotte's personal secretary from the Heberfeller family—is also her biggest rival in love.

Lina, who had just entered, naturally noticed the hostile gazes directed at her.

She looked at Hancock with some surprise; a woman's intuition is terrifyingly powerful.

Lina then puffed out her chest without any hesitation, the astonishing curve of which made people's eyes widen in shock.

Seeing the other person's enormous breasts, Hancock looked down at her own, which was quite flat, much to her disappointment.

Without noticing anything, Charlotte smiled and spoke.

"Lina, what's wrong? What happened?"

Lina then smiled and moved closer to Charlotte in a friendly manner.

This infuriated little Hancock, who also longed to be close to Charlotte.

"Charlotte, people from the Western Sea have arrived."

"Forehead?"

Charlotte was somewhat surprised. People from the West Sea had come?

"Gillian, I'm leaving Hancock in your care. I'm going to take care of some work."

After saying that, she looked at Hancock and gently patted her head, "Be a good girl."

They then left quickly.

Hancock blushed and secretly vowed that she would grow up quickly and be older than that woman.

She's still young and can still develop; she refuses to believe her breasts won't grow bigger.

"Who is it?"

As soon as they left the hospital, Xia Luo asked a question.

"West Sea, leader of the Eight Treasures Navy, Green Pepper of the Cone!"

Green pepper? Charlotte was a little surprised; it really was an ancient name.

Since the other party has come, he might as well meet them.

I wonder how Mr. Zhang Hu is doing these days?

Soon Charlotte met Green Pepper, who was balding; his once-proud cone-shaped head was now quite round.

Charlotte thought this was much more pleasing to the eye than the other person's previous soaring cone-shaped head.

They used to have that big, round head of their head all the time, didn't it stick to the headboard when they slept? Now it's so much better.

However, judging from the appearance of the green pepper, this was no ordinary blow.

Charlotte felt a pang of regret for this person she had met once before; time is a cruel mistress.

Charlotte let go of all her thoughts and spoke calmly.

"Green peppers, it's been a long time."

Green Pepper looked at Charlotte in front of him with mixed feelings. He had become a loser, while the person in front of him had become a powerful figure who shocked the world.

"Lord Charlotte, it's been a long time."

Charlotte was actually a little curious about the other person's purpose in coming here. "So, what brings you here?"

Charlotte got straight to the point.

Without any hesitation, Green Pepper immediately replied, "Let's cooperate!"

Cooperation?

Green Pepper continued, "Our Eight Treasures Navy is willing to become the dumping ground for the Heberfeller family's exports in the Western Sea."

Oh!

His words piqued his interest greatly, since the Heberfeller family had once sought to cooperate with Zhang Hu, but Zhang Hu had long since retired and, on the other hand, was unwilling to engage in business in order to maintain tradition.

Therefore, Charlotte did not insist.

It was Qingjiao, the leader of the Babao Navy, who was the first to make a change, which surprised him somewhat.

He naturally welcomed this, as the Heberfeller family actually had connections outside of the North Sea.

There are no suitable candidates for the East China Sea, South China Sea, and West China Sea, but now there is one.

"No problem, I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration."

Charlotte readily agreed; it was a huge amount of time, a great thing for the Heberfeller family.

It's a win-win situation: making money on one hand and enhancing the family's influence on the other.

As for the follow-up matters, they will naturally need to be handled by Ivan, who will then formulate the corresponding cooperation agreement.

The green pepper didn't linger; it looked rather impatient.

Charlotte didn't care; as long as it brought benefits to their family, that was enough.

The Heberfeller family's land reclamation project has now begun, which will also require a large amount of funding.

This requires them to open up more trade routes, since building them will require a massive amount of capital investment.

In addition, there's the Heberfeller family's most expensive scientific and technological research.

Having multiple markets would be the best option.

"Lina, send people to the South China Sea and the East China Sea to find suitable agents."

Charlotte spoke after careful consideration.

In fact, he was quite fond of King Da Xiong of the South Sea Sorbe Kingdom, or more accurately, he was an acquaintance of Da Xiong, but the overall strength of the Sorbe Kingdom itself was too weak.

In terms of influence, channels, and other aspects, it does not actually meet the requirements of the Heberfeller family. Moreover, now that Bartholomew Kuma has joined the Revolutionary Army, he has even less time to manage the Sorbet Kingdom.

Overall, it's not a good fit. But if there's really no other option, we could give it a try.

The Heberfeller family needs to speed things up.

He already sensed that the real war was not far off.

The various arrangements the Heberfeller family is making now are all preparations.
