The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 44 Tragic Scene

Lati Island, port.

"Boss!"

Charlotte, with the famous sword Shigure hanging from his waist, walked to the port, just as Ivan approached.

"The boss is all ready!"

Charlotte nodded. "Ivan, keep an eye on that woman. Don't let her wander around Lati Island."

Ivan smiled. "Don't worry, boss, I'll handle it."

Charlotte felt at ease with Ivan's confidence and composure.

He didn't want to reveal what was on Lati Island. Anyway, history would prove that the Flying Pirates were a thing of the past, and there was no need to have too much entanglement with them or waste his emotions.

Charlotte looked at the Heberfeller in front of her with a sense of melancholy. After being docked for so long, it was finally time to set sail.

He then waved his hand and began boarding the ship, with Beta and Barrett following closely behind.

As soon as he boarded the ship, his underlings immediately ran over to him.

Charlotte casually took the sea chart that Kiki had given him.

"Ready to depart."

Charlotte said calmly.

The underling who received the nautical chart studied it for a moment, then loudly replied, "Yes, sir!"

He then rushed to the wheelhouse!

"Brothers! Destination: Kingdom of Iren, depart!"

Charlotte stood at the bow of the ship, looking out at the distant sea. Pirates just don't follow the rules.

Others with ill intentions were all taken aback when they saw the hundred-meter-long ship, which had remained stationary until now, finally set sail.

That distinctive flag fluttered in the wind.

The Hibernette slowly sailed out of the harbor and headed into the distance, soon disappearing from sight.

After a leisurely two-day journey, the Heberfeller finally arrived at the waters of the Kingdom of Iren.

On a ship in the distance, a lookout holding a monocular telescope shouted excitedly.

"There are boats!"

"There are boats!"

A middle-aged general with a receding hairline, a mustache, wearing silver-white armor and wielding a large iron spear stepped forward and laughed wildly.

"Soldiers, move closer. Be careful not to sink the ship. Once on board, kill everyone and loot the treasure."

"Yes, General!"

Moments later, the three ships formed a triangular formation and surrounded the Heberfeller.

Charlotte had noticed the three ships early on, but they were imperceptible to him thanks to his Observation Haki.

There's a strange, distorted feeling.

It seems like the other person is very excited.

Hmm... this must be a pirate.

Charlotte frowned!

unlucky!

He suddenly drew Shigure from his hand, and three terrifying flying slashes ripped through the sea.

"Snap!"

With a soft thud, the three ships were sliced ​​in half, easily and pleasantly dealt with.

"Damn it!"

An angry roar rang out, and a silver figure stood on the massive, unsinkable wreckage opposite.

The enraged general, his eyes bloodshot, gripped his silver steel lance and charged directly at the Hibernian.

"Wow, you've got some skills!"

Beta's eyes lit up, and he leaped up and landed on it as well.

Charlotte's face darkened. If Beta, a Devil Fruit user, were to fall into the sea, the consequences would be unimaginable.

That was too careless.

In this situation, we should just shell it and sink it into the sea; it would be safer and less troublesome.

However, seeing Beta's eagerness to fight, Charlotte didn't stop him; at worst, she could just go into the sea to rescue him.

Therefore, it's best not to eat Devil Fruits or anything like that, as it's far too dangerous at sea.

"Go to hell, you brat."

"Steel gun charge".

The enraged general, wielding a silver steel spear, launched a devastating attack.

"Tch, old man, you can't just talk big."

Beta was scathing in his words and disdainful in his expression.

"razor".

In an instant, an air burst appeared beneath his feet, propelling him at high speed and creating a sharp trajectory in mid-air. Just as Beta disappeared, the general rushed over, his silver steel spear slamming into the spot where Beta had just been standing.

The terrifying destructive force instantly destroyed the floating wreckage of the ship.

"Not bad, but not enough."

Beta said easily using Moonwalk.

As soon as he finished speaking, a circular air burst appeared beneath his feet and he shot downwards.

"Iron Fist Blast"

In an instant, Armament Haki covered his fist, and terrifying power slammed down.

The general's pupils contracted, and he thrust his steel spear forward with a sudden burst.

With a loud "boom," the general's iron spear was instantly shattered into pieces by a single punch, and unsurprisingly, it pierced through the opponent's body.

He was then thrown into the sea by Beta.

Upon seeing this, the crew of the Heberfeller roared with excitement.

Charlotte nodded slightly. Under his guidance, Beta finally mastered the use of Armament Haki.

It looks like it's working well now.

"Let's continue."

The Hibernette arrived at the port without any further obstacles along the way.

Charlotte was somewhat surprised.

Upon arriving at the port, Charlotte was taken aback. It was so desolate; was there no one here?

Leave some ships behind to protect them.

Charlotte and the others disembarked.

Once outside the port, there was a small town that looked barren and dilapidated.

The road leading to the town was barren on both sides, with not even a blade of grass in sight.

Upon reaching the entrance to the town, everyone's pupils constricted sharply.

On both sides of the town's streets, corpses that had long since died hung high up.

There were men, elderly people, women, and even children. Judging from their clothes, they must have been residents of the town.

It was like a ghost town.

Large swaths of dilapidated buildings, faint traces of artillery bombardment, and blackened bloodstains clearly indicate that a fierce war once took place here.

Charlotte and the others all looked grave and couldn't believe it.

Because this is completely different from the town on Lati Island.

This place is like hell.

No one knows what caused this outcome.

At the intersection, several ragged, emaciated children were struggling to rummage through the ruins for food hidden beneath.

Even when he saw Charlotte and her group, he didn't react much.

Mitis's eyes were dry and his heart ached. He had experienced similar scenes before, except one was in ruins and the other in a garbage dump.

If it weren't for Charlotte, he and his sister would probably have ended up like these people.

"Mr. Charlotte..."

Charlotte nodded; he understood what Mitis was trying to say.

"Lina arranged for someone to distribute some food to this group of people."

"Gillian, check everyone's injuries."

The two received their orders and acted swiftly.

"Mitis, go and ask what happened here."

"Yes, Mr. Charlotte." He said this and hurriedly left, with two crew members following behind him to protect his safety.

As for Beta or Barut, their rugged appearances are really not suitable for the current intelligence gathering work.

Soon, Mitis learned from some of the children about the mastermind behind all of this.
