The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 457 Devil Fruit Awakening

The Red-Haired Pirates left behind a Devil Fruit, and a little girl continued her journey.

This time, there is no doubt that the opponent has begun to prepare to challenge for the position of one of the Four Emperors of the New World.

Charlotte watched the other person leave; the fifth emperor of the high seas was about to rise.

Uta looked around nervously and uneasily, even though she really wanted to leave with the redhead.

But the clever girl knew very well that with her strength, she would become a burden to the Red-Haired Pirates on the journey ahead.

Moreover, this is the Heberfeller Pirate Family, a terrifying force unlike any other on the high seas.

Having lived with the Red-Haired Pirates for many years, she had naturally heard the legends about the Heberfeller Pirate Family.

The crew members also frequently discussed various unbelievable events concerning the Heberfeller pirate family.

She naturally dared not act rashly, for if she truly angered the Heberfeller Pirate Family, the Red-Haired Pirates would surely be plunged into an abyss of no return.

Furthermore, Shanks clearly knows and is very familiar with the owner of this place, and she doesn't want to cause trouble for the Red-Haired Pirates.

Charlotte snapped out of her daze and saw Uta's nervous and uneasy expression, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Is he really that scary?

Has he reached the point where he can stop a child from crying, as depicted in the story?

He was such a sunny and kind person! The World Government's actions were truly despicable. He shook his head slightly and spoke softly.

"Lina, show Uta around the family, and then arrange for Uta to live with Ali and the others!"

"Okay, Charlotte."

Lina spoke gently, and lightly took Uta's little hand.

"Come on! Uta, let me introduce you to your new friends."

Uta's tension was greatly relieved by Lina's gentle demeanor.

"Th...thank you!"

Charlotte was speechless. Sure enough, beautiful women are more approachable than handsome men.

Watching the two figures leave, Charlotte stopped thinking about it, picked up the Paramecia-type Weapon Fruit, turned around, and headed outside.

Devil Fruits!

Use it as soon as possible; this thing won't reproduce anyway.

Keeping it is not only a waste of time, but also a waste of feelings.

Not long after.

Inside the Great Garden of Heberfeller!

The area was vast and incomparably large; even ancient giants could live here comfortably without any impact.

This place is planted with exotic flowers and plants from all over the world, at a huge cost.

It is the romance and luxury that belongs exclusively to the Heberfeller family.

The tall blue-striped sycamore trees planted on both sides are from the Land of Flowers, and there are also cherry blossom trees from the Land of Harmony...

In the distance, a huge flowerbed is planted with a large field of glowing sunflowers from Dressrosa.

It's very beautiful at night.

There are also many more rare plants from all over the world; you can find everything you could want here.

Charlotte soon arrived at a low garden hill, on which stood a huge cloud house made using cloud technology.

A large, pale green figure sat to one side, hugging its knees and gazing into the distance.

The figure was none other than Oz the Younger, the only ancient giant in the Hippefeller family.

"Little Oz, spacing out again?"

Charlotte's voice rang out, and Little Oz's enormous body blotted out the sky like a small mountain, his voice booming like thunder.

"Boss Charlotte! I wasn't just enjoying the breeze."

Little Oz scratched the back of his head shyly. Who would have thought that such a huge little Oz would look so silly?

"If you're bored, you can go find Dahl and chat with everyone."

Charlotte was concerned about Little Oz's condition, but Little Oz just grinned.

"Boss, I'm fine. I just feel very peaceful here."

His tone was very sincere, and everyone was very friendly to him. They were simply here because they felt the environment was peaceful, beautiful, and suitable for staying.

Charlotte realized she had been overthinking things after hearing Oz's answer.

"Okay, here you go."

As he spoke, Charlotte tossed the Devil Fruit directly to Little Oars.

The nimble Little Oars caught it, but compared to his large hand, the Devil Fruit was like a grain of rice in his grasp.

The tiny, rice-grain-sized fruit in his eyes startled Little Oars. As a member of the Hibernian family, he was very familiar with Devil Fruits.

This thing is very precious.

"Boss... what?"

"Little Oars, this is a Paramecia-type Weapon Fruit. If you eat it, you will have special powers."

Charlotte began to introduce the topic in a calm manner.

In his opinion, the Weapon-Weapon Fruit was as powerful in the hands of anyone else as it was in the hands of Little Oars Jr.

To put it in perspective, Oars Jr.'s size combined with the ability to turn any part of his body into a weapon must be incredibly terrifying.

The limit for an ordinary person is to transform their arm into a cannon.

If Oars Jr.'s arm were to transform into a cannon, it wouldn't just be a cannon; it would be a doubled "Gustav Cannon."

One shot is enough to destroy a small island.

That power and concept are not even on the same level.

Therefore, Charlotte believes that Oars Jr. is the most suitable candidate for this Devil Fruit.

Of course, it also depends on whether Little Oz himself is willing.

Little Oz hesitated not for any other reason than because there were many more people in his family who needed him.

"Am I not suitable to be the boss?"

Hearing what Little Oz said, Charlotte's face darkened.

"In the Heberfeller family, there is no such thing as suitable or unsuitable. Eat what you want without overthinking. I am your support."

Charlotte's voice was strong and clear, and Little Oz could feel the encouragement in Charlotte's tone and eyes.

At that moment, he no longer hesitated and threw the rice-grain-sized Devil Fruit directly into his mouth.

Charlotte looked at it.

To be honest, Little Oars couldn't taste the flavor of the Devil Fruit at all.

There's nothing I can do, my mouth is just too big.

However, it's truly gratifying that the family has gained another powerful Devil Fruit user!

"Little Oars, familiarize yourself with the power of the Devil Fruit."

After giving her a word of advice, Charlotte left with peace of mind, leaving the rest of the development and training to her own devices.

However, he believed that Little Oars would definitely make the name of the Paramecia-type Weapon Fruit resound throughout the world.

No giant has ever eaten such a fruit, let alone the much larger Ancient Giant.

Little Oz remained silent, but he understood that his family needed his strength.

He also wants to become a pillar of the family, a strong support for Boss Charlotte, and help the family face all future crises.

Charlotte was walking on the smooth marble road as she left.

The air in front of him suddenly distorted, and then a circular air door was opened directly.

Hariri stepped out. "Boss."

"What's the matter?"

Charlotte asked with some doubt, since this guy rarely appeared in front of him, as he was always busy.

It seems that no one in the entire family is more relaxed than him.

"Boss, Brother Barrett is about to awaken. Sister Yar sent me to pick you up and take you to see him."

Charlotte was startled as her Paramecia-type Devil Fruit power awakened, making her the first member of the Hibernian family to do so.

He was very confident in Barrett, whose physical skills and mental fortitude were top-notch, so awakening him wouldn't be too difficult.

In particular, Barrett's awakening does improve his strength to some extent, although the improvement doesn't seem very significant.

This is also Charlotte's biggest regret: what if Barrett could have eaten the Magnet-Magnet Fruit?

That strength was truly astonishing; nowadays, the drawbacks of the Fusion Fruit are too great.

Unless the Heberfeller family can obtain Pluto, the god of the underworld, or Uranus, or even an extraordinary weapon like an artificial sun.

If one possessed such an extraordinary weapon and combined it with the awakened power of Barrett's Fusion Fruit, its power would be earth-shattering.

How terrifying its combat power will be is unknown.

However, the Heberfeller family is currently unable to obtain it due to their limited capabilities.

Charlotte's mind raced, and she could only temporarily put aside her various thoughts.

Let's go!

The next moment, Charlotte stepped through the air door and disappeared from the spot with Hariri, appearing in the family's special testing ground.

"Charlotte, you've come."

As Yar greeted them, his research staff recorded various experimental data on the Barrett in the laboratory.

"Is there...something wrong?"

Charlotte, upon arriving here, was inexplicably flustered by the serious scene before her, after all, what if something really happened to Barrett?

This was a devastating blow to the Heberfeller family.

This level of combat power is a "nuclear peace" treasure that any faction would keep as a trump card!

Yar knew that Charlotte was just worried and confused, so she spoke calmly.

"No problem. Barrett is top-notch in both physical skills and willpower. Awakening will be easy for him. We are being so rigorous in order to ensure the accuracy of the data and provide valuable advice to future family members."

Charlotte nodded, feeling relieved.

Through continuous research, the Heberfeller family discovered that the cultivation of "body" and "mind" is the key foundation for the awakening of the three types of Devil Fruits.

Subsequently, due to the different types of Devil Fruits, the abilities, effects, influences, and side effects produced when they awaken vary.

Let's begin!

Upon receiving Saga Yar's notification, Barrett quickly entered an awakened state.

Charlotte's gaze was fixed on Barrett. The strange power he was releasing during his awakening was intriguing; it could always affect everything around him unintentionally.

This is a manifestation of being out of control during the initial awakening stage, which can cause a lot of damage to the surroundings unintentionally.

Only when one is completely controlled by the will of the awakened one, and can freely control and use it for one's own purposes, can one be considered to have successfully awakened.

As time passed, Barrett's awakened power sometimes expanded and sometimes contracted, and he tried his best to control it.

Fortunately, these were minor issues for the battle-hardened Barrett, who was adapting to the subtle control over this power.

Charlotte could clearly sense that the violent, rampant, and out-of-control state was gradually subsiding, and the control over the fruit's power was becoming more and more stable.

He was initially worried but now he breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, awakening a Devil Fruit was no challenge for Barrett at all.

The researchers around them calmly recorded the various data.

Thirty minutes later, Barrett opened his eyes, and the uncontrollable awakened power around him returned to calm in his mind.

Barrett came out, seemingly unchanged.

"Boss."

Charlotte patted the other person on the shoulder with a sense of relief.

"Good, Barrett."

A smile appeared on Barrett's cold face; increased strength was certainly something to be happy about.

Not only will the family's strength increase as a result, but Barrett's awakening experience will also become a role model for more members of the family in the future.

One day, the power of the Hibernian family will make the World Government and the Navy tremble.
