The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 482: Horror is not even an adequate description

Seven days later!

With its stunning scenery and a massive, striking volcanic crater rising into the sky, this is the Kazanonsen Hot Spring Island of the New World!

"Have we arrived yet?"

Charlotte gazed at the volcano on the island, which resembled a giant chimney, and the large English letters KAZANONSEN, which were incredibly conspicuous from afar.

Kazanonsen Hot Spring Island is indeed a familiar place.

This time, in order to avoid being detected by the Navy and the World Government, he did not travel on his Hippefeller Thousand Dragon.

As one of the Four Emperors of the New World, making a grand entrance would be too conspicuous and could easily disrupt his plans.

Before long, he and Hariri landed in the town, naturally wearing masks that covered half of their faces.

He is too famous, but only in a bad way.

Nowadays, unless one is a savage living in complete isolation, it is unlikely that anyone in the world would not know him.

"Boss, former Admiral Zephyr is at the Harunohana Hot Spring Inn, and he also has two students here. They probably defected with Zephyr."

Hariri followed behind Charlotte and spoke slowly.

"Okay, let's go take a look and have a chat with them."

Charlotte spoke calmly, having already heard of the famous seawater hot springs here, and thought he could take this opportunity to enjoy them.

Um... I need to work on my physical fitness.

It's worth noting that Charlotte built a huge seawater swimming pool specifically to help her family's ability users overcome the problem of seawater resistance.

The purpose is to simulate how a person with superpowers can maintain abundant physical strength after falling into the sea.

This is how to greatly increase the chances of survival. He made many preparations, and this is just one aspect of them.

Upon hearing this, Hariri was thrilled, and he was eager to experience the unique hot springs here.

Furthermore, it allows you to get up close and personal with your idol, which is incredibly exciting.

"yes!"

Hariri's sudden shout not only drew surprised glances from those around him but also startled Charlotte.

"Huh??? There's no need to get so excited."

Faced with Charlotte's words, Harry, realizing he was being a bit odd, scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Boss, I'm just so happy."

Charlotte looked at Hariri with a suspicious expression. What's so exciting about two grown men soaking in a hot spring?

Does this guy have some kind of weird fetish?

His mind couldn't help but wander off course.

"Boss, that's the biggest hot spring up ahead, and it's our destination."

Hariri's words interrupted his thoughts, and he immediately stopped hesitating.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Before the two had even left, a beautiful woman with long, flowing, sea-blue wavy hair appeared not far away; she looked quite young.

Her pupils contracted.

Having once been a member of the Navy, she knew all too well who that person was: one of the saints of the Heberfeller family.

Hariri, the Saint of Death, was a former naval spy and traitor.

When Professor Zephyr taught them, he focused on introducing the Four Emperors of the New World, especially the Heberfeller Pirate Family, which was of paramount importance.

Needless to say, Heberfil Charlotte, who is currently the most famous person in the world, is undoubtedly the pinnacle of the royal level.

The formidable Hibernian family and the legendary pirate "Lone Red" Redfield are undoubtedly top-tier Emperor-level powerhouses as well.

There is also the Demon King, Barrett, who is a weaker Emperor-level powerhouse, and the Thunder King, Jhin, who is a weak Emperor-level powerhouse.

At the level of the Royal Vice-President are naturally the King of Beasts—Beta and the King of Asura—Pander.

The powerful and renowned executives of the Heberfeller family are formidable figures comparable to veteran vice admirals of the Navy Headquarters.

The disciple of saints, Mitis; the disciple of death, Hariri; the disciple of tigers, Sammy; the disciple of spears, Wink; the disciple of dragons, Gureya; and the disciple of swords, Senzo.

And there's also the Lady of Fortune—Lina, the Snow Swordsman Gogum, the Iron-Faced Swordsman Dasok, the Nue-type Koji, the Floating Man Bruno, the Bee Woman Bomei, the Rhinoceros Beetle Bob, the Ancient Species Sicaberi…

Then came characters like the fish-man Tiger, the scythe-wielding Eric, the cyborg Adre, the giant Dahl, the ancient giant Oars Jr., and the naginata-wielding monk...

Their strength is between that of elite rear admirals and ordinary vice admirals in the Navy Headquarters.

Even this alone is enough to show how terrifying the entire Heberfeller family is.

Keep in mind that these are some well-known and fearsome figures who frequently engage in battles or activities outside the world.

It also includes non-combat support personnel such as the Snow Queen Saga Yar, the Life Queen Gillian, the Chef Mok, the Finance Minister Ivan, the Intelligence Queen Kikia, and the Fishman Tom from the scientific research unit.

There are other powerful family members hidden among them, a fact that is universally acknowledged by the outside world.

Any member of the Heberfeller family with a bounty between 100 million and 500 million is at least a Marine Headquarters Captain, and at most a Rear Admiral.

How many unknown powerful members of the Heberfeller family still exist is a matter of curiosity and vigilance for the entire ocean.

Back then, after being taught by Zephyr, Ain was shocked for a long time.

Hibernatore truly deserves to be called the legendary first royal band; that was her truest feeling back then.

Horror is an understatement.

She still vividly remembers the incredibly somber expression and tone of Professor Zephyr at that time.

It could be said that even when introducing the other three royal groups, the tone wasn't this serious.

Now, with the former Shichibukai Empress Boa Hancock joining the Heberfeller family, she is another weak emperor-level existence.

The power of the Heberfeller family is enough to send chills down your spine.

This mysterious, legendary, and unique family possesses a wealth of terrifying deeds and legends, seemingly with immeasurable potential.

Encountering members of the legendary Heberfeller family here naturally left Ain deeply shocked.

How did Hariri, the leader of the Knights of Death, end up here, and who is that masked man?

This made Ain feel inexplicably uneasy. Without saying a word, she turned and left, quickly returning to prepare to inform Teacher Zephyr.

"Boss, that woman!"

Hariri, who was following Charlotte, naturally noticed the woman's unusual behavior.

"Don't worry about it!"

Charlotte spoke calmly, feeling as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place it. However, the other party did not show any killing intent.

Charlotte didn't care much about such weaklings.

His only target from beginning to end was former Admiral Zephyr.

Now, only such a strong person can catch his eye.

After all, he was a former general, even though the opponent's strength had weakened considerably.

However, it cannot be denied that Zephyr played a significant role in the Heberfeller family.

Perhaps they could make him the new principal of the Heberfeller War College.

Given their years of experience and capabilities, they are the most suitable candidate.

Charlotte is now extremely looking forward to meeting him.

Soon, the two of them set off in the same direction.

Spring Flower Bathhouse!

Ain paced back and forth anxiously; it was really inconvenient for her to go into that place.

The waiter's movements were rather slow, which made her a little anxious.

The person who could command a high-ranking knight, the Deathbringer Hariri, like a servant must be one of the very few.

He is definitely a super strong member of the Heberfeller family. Given Zephyr's current condition, he could easily lose his life if they were to fight.

Ain idolizes Teacher Zephyr, so naturally, Zephyr doesn't have any problems.

Although she despises pirates from the bottom of her heart, there are different situations to consider!

Who is that?

That's the Hibernator family, a terrifying family that even the World Government has to be wary of, and that has caused the Navy heavy losses.

As she waited anxiously, a gentle voice suddenly rang out.

"Well, what a coincidence!"

Hearing the playful tone in the voice, Ain couldn't help but tremble. She slowly looked up and saw the masked man who had just been on the street.

At this moment, she couldn't help but tremble. Only by getting really close to the person in front of her could she feel the terrifying pressure that naturally emanated from him.

This is an unintentional pressure, an invisible yet terrifying force cultivated from years of being in a high position.

"you……!"

Ain's voice trembled slightly.

Charlotte tilted her head. Was he really that scary? She had just been a little surprised to run into him and was simply giving him a friendly greeting.

Because he finally remembered who the girl was—one of Zephyr's only two remaining disciples.

He didn't react just now entirely because this guy was young.

"Boss, it's done!"

At that moment, Hariri, having bought his tickets, walked over somewhat unsteadily.

Charlotte nodded upon hearing this, and he also felt helpless, as it seemed that no one in the family could be considered composed when they were around him.

This makes him seem somewhat toxic, which is quite strange.

At this moment, Ain's heart was pounding wildly. Everyone on the sea knew that in the entire Heberfeller family, there was only one person who could be called the boss.

The true uncrowned king—Hippefeller Charlotte.

The person in front of her was indeed Heberfil Charlotte.

Ain couldn't help but subconsciously take two steps back.

With a "Duang" sound!

Ain felt as if she had bumped into something. Looking up, she was horrified. "T-Teacher!"

Zefa looked at the person in front of him without saying a word, and shielded Ain behind him.

Such a dangerous person is definitely not someone a naive student should face.

As a former adversary, he knew all too well who this person in front of him was.

"It's been a long time, Zephyr!"

Charlotte remained unchanged throughout, and he had naturally noticed Zephyr's appearance long ago.

With his current strength, Zephyr is indeed no match for him.

"What exactly are you going to do, Hibernian Charlotte?"

Zephyr glared at the other man warily and fiercely, partly because of Charlotte's identity as a pirate, and partly because, as a former enemy, he knew all too well how terrifying Charlotte was.

At present, he has no chance of winning in a fight; death is his only destiny.

"Don't be nervous. If I were really going to make a move, I wouldn't be here so calmly."

Charlotte's attitude was gentle, showing no trace of the arrogance and ruthlessness one would expect from a pirate.

The sunlight was as gentle as the boy next door.

Zefa felt inexplicably relieved upon hearing Charlotte's words. He wasn't afraid of death, but these two disciples shouldn't have died needlessly alongside this old codger.

Charlotte naturally sensed the other party's concerns, especially the intense hatred towards pirates.

"Let's chat while we're at it!"

As they were talking, Charlotte walked inside, and Zephyr, with a serious expression, followed.

He also wanted to see what this world-famous pirate was up to.

Hariri happily followed him inside.

Inside a huge hot spring!

The two leaned against the edge of a hot spring pool.

Charlotte squinted, feeling the warmth and a surge of adrenaline.

Although this is a seawater hot spring, it doesn't have much effect on his self-control unless he soaks in it for ten days and ten nights, in which case he might soften up.

And let me tell you, the targeted training we did back then was incredibly effective!

Zefa looked at Charlotte, completely baffled as to what she was trying to do.

"Speak! What exactly do you want?"

A muffled sound slowly rose.

"You are invited to join the Kingdom of Heberfeller!"

Charlotte didn't hesitate at all; he didn't need to deceive the veteran in front of him.

He stated the purpose of his trip so openly and honestly, leaving Hariri speechless.

Sigh! Inviting a former Marine Admiral... no, he should be called a traitor, a pirate now.

But it's still hard to believe!

Hariri shook his head, feeling that he had been a bit narrow-minded. After all, he had once been a naval spy!

However, faced with Charlotte's direct and frank words, Zephyr's eyes turned red!

He can no longer forgive the betrayal from the Navy, and he would never become a pirate.

"Hippefeller Charlotte, are you insulting this old man?"

Zefa's voice was filled with rage.

Seeing this, Charlotte knew very well that old Zephyr was now completely consumed by boundless hatred.

"Zeffa..."

Charlotte's voice suddenly became solemn, carrying an invisible aura.

"The truly powerful pirate crews on the high seas also uphold a code of honor."

His words were forceful and powerful. His angry words seemed incredibly domineering to the powerful Four Emperors pirate crews of the New World, but as long as you follow the rules, you will never make things difficult for them.

Only pirate crews that lack territory, stable income, and are stuck in a limbo of mediocrity disregard any sense of morality.

Because they live in a life-or-death struggle every day.

Living for the moment, indulging in reckless behavior, robbing and killing without restraint—who knows, one day you might just perish at sea.

The saying goes, "Those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who wear shoes." They have nothing to lose anyway, so what is there to be afraid of?

It's laughable to expect a pirate crew that's barely surviving to have any conscience or morality.

Zefa was slightly stunned by Charlotte's words; such an answer was truly unexpected.

If you think about it, aside from the inherent antagonism between the two sides, the New World Royals really do live in their own territories.

Even the so-called massacres were pitifully few compared to those of wandering pirate crews.

As a former high-ranking naval officer, he knew a lot of inside information and was aware of more of the truth.

Calmly reflecting on the situation from my current perspective, I can actually gain a clearer understanding of the issue.

That is, the areas within the territories of the Four Emperors of the New World are actually the least chaotic.
