The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 456 can also be called the Choice of Fate.

The trip to Fas Island went unnoticed by the outside world; this was a naval operation that suppressed news of the battle.

Charlotte didn't care about this, after all, he had already obtained the [Dynamite Rock], which had effectively strengthened the family's foundation.

Currently, scientists from the Hibernian family are continuously researching and experimenting with the use of [dynamite rock].

Looking at the intelligence in his hand, Charlotte narrowed his eyes. Now, the Donquixote Family has completely replaced the Riku Royal Family and become the true controller of Dressrosa.

The world is undergoing tremendous changes.

In many countries, pirates have even caused significant conflicts, with destruction and death occurring at any time.

And it is precisely because of the powerful strength of the Heberfeller family that he can sit back and watch whatever happens in the world.

This is the culmination of countless years of accumulation and refinement; the Heberfeller family has truly become a unique legend on the high seas.

Charlotte gazed at the ceiling, stroking Komainu's soft fur with one hand, her thoughts drifting.

……

……

"This is the renowned continent of Hibernatore in the new world!"

Yasopp stared in disbelief as he spoke.

The Red-Haired Pirates obtained permission from the border islands and successfully arrived at their current headquarters in Heberfeller.

The continent of Hibernian.

"Yes! This place has changed a lot."

With his left arm empty, Shanks looked at the continent of Hippefele and couldn't help but marvel.

Memories from the past flooded my mind.

Today, Lati Island has become the core of the entire continent, with a huge inland waterway running through the continent and directly reaching Lati Island!

Above the river is a huge triumphal arch with the words "Glory and Legend of the River Heberfeller" written on it!

Ben Beckman, cigarette dangling from his lips, said without batting an eye, "Shanks, how do we get across?"

Nowadays, the river that leads directly to Lati Island is not open to outsiders.

That was the exclusive passage for the Heberfeller family's grand fleet.

"Go to Outer Harbour City! Land there."

Shanks spoke quietly, explaining that he had been told the route to the Heberfeller headquarters back on the border island.

Outer Harbour City!

This is the town and port of the continent of Hibernian, where both merchants and pirates now need to land.

Before long, the Red-Haired Pirates appeared in the outer port city, with its towering and magnificent iron walls and dense, dark cannons displaying immense firepower.

The newly erected flag flutters in the wind.

Countless merchant ships came and went.

Shanks and his crew entered the port without incident.

Soon the group arrived at Eastster Station.

"Isn't this a sea train?"

Yasopp was quite surprised; they had seen this thing in Water Seven, and it was both amazing and interesting.

Even Shanks was somewhat surprised, not expecting the Hibernian family to bring the sea train directly to the mainland.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a land-based train!"

The ticket inspector patiently explained to the group.

Many outsiders who choose to go to Lati City are awestruck; such a magical thing is rare in the world.

That's right, the island of Lati has now been completely renamed Lati City, a huge and magnificent metropolis.

It can be said that it is not only the core of the Heberfeller continent, but also the headquarters of the Heberfeller family, in the eyes of all the people of the Heberfeller continent.

That was the only royal city.

Moreover, the once renowned island of Lati, with its numerous titles, remains so even now that it has become the royal city of Lati.

The royal city of Lati has inherited the island's precious political wealth, which is irreplaceable.

Thank you.

Despite the well-intentioned warning, Shanks spoke dangerously.

The group then successfully boarded the land train – the Tom!

"Ding ding ding—"

As the clear, pleasant starting lights illuminated, their color turned green.

"Woo~"

The land train, the Tom, rumbled with a deep rumble, its powerful engine belching white smoke as it slowly departed from Eastster Station and headed towards the Royal City of Lati.

Shanks and his companions sat in the private room, gazing at the scenery rushing past outside, feeling a mix of emotions.

The legend of the Heberfeller family is far more astonishing than what outsiders tell us.

Such a magnificent feat is astonishing; it is the only force that has truly moved the world.

In the distance, you can see a new town still under construction.

Shanks was deeply shaken; the Heberfeller family had truly changed a great deal over the years.

Such a massive project could only be accomplished by a handful of forces in the world; it's estimated that only the World Government could accomplish it.

Time passed, and when we arrived at the final destination...

The group got off the car and saw the brand-new Lati City, which was magnificent and breathtaking.

Those massive steel walls, hundreds of meters high, looked like ants when you looked up at them; they were even larger than before.

Especially since the entire island of Lati was transformed into Lati City, you can imagine how enormous it became.

It's no exaggeration to say that the sheer size of Lati City is enough to secure it a place on the world stage.

"Shanks has arrived!"

Gom appeared, and his voice rang out near the group.

"Brother Gem, it's been a long time."

Shanks smiled and said that he had received a lot of help during his training at the Sword Court back then, and he remembered it well.

"Let's go, kid."

Gomwin led Shanks and his group to the Heberfeller family's headquarters.

Along the way, the others looked around with curiosity, the prosperity of this place was rarely seen in the world.

A moment later, the group passed through layers of guards and arrived at Charlotte's office.

"Knock knock knock!"

"Enter!"

A deep voice came from inside the room, and Gem gestured for everyone to enter.

Upon opening the door, I saw a person who looked gentle and calm, lounging lazily on the sofa.

That was the legendary pirate, Heberfeller Charlotte.

"It's been so many years since I've seen Shanks."

Charlotte's voice slowly rang out. Seeing the once impetuous boy now grown into a more mature and composed young man, she truly felt a sense of the relentless passage of time.

"Mr. Charlotte."

Shanks' voice was slightly agitated, as he kept in mind Charlotte's teachings and guidance.

Charlotte smiled slightly.

Looking at Shanks' empty right arm and his missing straw hat, a sense of fatalism from the pirate world still lingered in my mind.

Then Shanks said something that sounded like surprise or a sigh.

"Mr. Charlotte! I'm truly astonished!"

Oh? ? ?

Charlotte was puzzled, unable to understand what was so surprising.

Although Charlotte didn't ask a question, Shanks clearly saw the curiosity on Charlotte's face and continued to speak.

"In the East Blue! There's a brat who said the exact same thing as Captain Roger!"

Charlotte didn't feel much when she heard Shanks' words; it's normal for the protagonist to be destined to be a hero in the One Piece world.

From a more metaphysical perspective, you could call it a choice of fate!

"So... you left the straw hat to him, thinking it could carry on Roger's will!"

Charlotte looked at Shanks and spoke calmly, only to see Shanks nod firmly.

"I've blocked this new era with my right arm!"

Shanks looked at his empty right arm and calmly spoke.

It was a scene that seemed familiar. Xia Luo remained calm and silent, then looked at the other person and asked the key question.

"Then why did you come here?"

Shanks answered Charlotte's question without hesitation.

"I need to give it my all for the journey ahead, so I hope Uta can stay with the Heberfeller family."

For him, the Heberfeller family was a trustworthy family, and their upcoming journey was not suitable for the little girl Uta to follow.

Moreover, this place is perfect for Uta, who has a natural love for music.

As one of only two world music capitals on the open sea, Uta is definitely the ideal place for music lovers.

Uta?

Charlotte turned her head and looked at the little girl who was tightly clutching Shanks' clothes, looking uneasy and nervous.

A little girl with the same fate as Shanks is discovered in the treasure chest after defeating the pirates.

Interesting.

Uta has good talent and is worth developing.

"Okay, I agree."

His voice was calm.

In the future, Uta can learn from Ali and the others, and it won't be a problem to cultivate a world-class singer.

Uta's singing talent is indeed exceptionally amazing.

Shanks breathed a sigh of relief; with Uta settled, he could now go all out.

Then, as if remembering something, he continued speaking.

"Mr. Charlotte, warn Whitebeard to be careful of Teach! That guy is cunning and has ulterior motives."

Charlotte understood Shanks's warning, but the stubborn Whitebeard was unyielding.

Charlotte's gaze turned dangerous as she looked at the three clear scars around Shanks' right eye.

Shanks is no weakling now. Although he hasn't reached his peak yet, he is still a formidable figure on the high seas.

Even so, Blackbeard Teach managed to injure Red Hair during the fight, which shows that the deeply hidden guy is quite powerful.

He was particularly interested in the other person's unique physique.

"Okay, I'll remind you."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Shanks took out a treasure chest.

"Mr. Charlotte, I have prepared a gift, and I hope you will accept it."

Shanks spoke calmly, after all, the Hibernian family didn't owe him anything; on the contrary, he had troubled them more.

So he prepared a gift, which, although not expensive, represented his gratitude.

Charlotte tilted his head; he never expected Shanks to have such thoughts.

However, Shanks's kind offer was something he had no reason to refuse.

"Alright, thank you very much. The Heberfeller family appreciates your kind gesture."

He was actually a little curious about what gift Shanks had prepared.

Shanks made no attempt to hide anything and took a treasure chest directly from one of his men, opening it immediately.

Devil Fruit!

Charlotte recognized it immediately as a Devil Fruit, and it was indeed a very good thank-you gift.

"This is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit—the Weapon Fruit!"

Shanks slowly began to explain, knowing full well that Charlotte liked Devil Fruits because it was a good thing for the vast Hippefeller family.

Weapon Fruit!

Charlotte was genuinely surprised; this thing was indeed quite impressive!

"very good."

Hearing Charlotte's satisfied tone, Shanks also smiled.

The rest was much simpler.
