The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 488 The Hidden Secret Base

One month later!

Hiberfeller Class Training Ground.

This is a training facility that incorporates many of the cutting-edge technologies currently used by the Hibernian family.

These include an improved gravity training room, speed training room, willpower training room, ice training room, and flame training room...

The gravity training room is a professional facility that uses gravity to target the physical body, allowing it to undergo overload training while resisting gravity.

The speed training room is a closed space where reaction training is conducted to dodge high-speed sea stone bullets, lasers, and other projectiles.

The Willpower Training Room is a training program developed using the Devil Fruit power of Mitis, resembling a terrifying dream. It simulates the deepest fears within a person's heart.

……

And various high-strength training equipment made of pure sea stone, soft treadmills made with cloud technology...

It can be said that it exceeded everyone's imagination; there is nothing that cannot be done, only things that cannot be imagined.

"Pfft~"

The moment the door to the willpower training room opened, a puff of white smoke billowed out, and Charlotte slowly walked out.

He was focusing all his efforts on improving, naturally in preparation for the awakening of his Devil Fruit abilities later on.

To put it bluntly, awakening a Zoan-type Devil Fruit carries a great risk, especially since his Devil Fruit is an extremely rare Mythical Zoan type.

Charlotte naturally dared not be careless about this, and making thorough preparations would prevent any mistakes.

Charlotte.

Hearing the sound, Charlotte turned her head and saw Lina walking over.

"What's wrong, Lina?"

Lina looked at Charlotte with a helpless expression and realized that Charlotte had really forgotten what it was about, so she reminded her.

"You promised to inspect the secret underwater base today!"

After Lina reminded him, Charlotte finally realized what was happening.

He had been thinking about awakening and training all this time, and he had really forgotten about it; he had no recollection of it at all.

This underwater base project was a major, closely guarded secret within the Heberfeller family.

Therefore, this matter is of great importance!

"Alright, let's go!"

Before long, a huge transportation hub within the Heberfeller family compound came into view.

The cloud-shaped vehicles, made of fluffy white clouds, are neatly parked in this dedicated parking space.

That's right, this is the new type of vehicle that the Heberfeller family has created using cloud technology – the Somersault Cloud Vehicle.

Charlotte and Lina chose a cloud car and got on it.

Staff immediately adjusted the huge connecting passageway using the control system.

"Attention, target location: underwater port island. Channel 5 is open. Somersault Cloud Vehicle No. 6 is ready to depart."

"Received, in progress."

The player repeated the words.

Accompanied by the clicking sound of machinery turning, the lights on the closed No. 6 pipeline channel flickered as the steel gate slowly opened.

"Set off!"

The sound faded.

With skillful operation, the somersault cloud vehicle quickly started and entered the fifth connecting channel.

Charlotte was slightly amazed; the technology of the Hibernian family was truly becoming more and more astonishing.

"Charlotte, your family is truly becoming more and more powerful and prosperous."

Lina spoke with a sense of empathy, after all, the Heberfeller family had truly been penniless for a very long time.

Getting to where it is today requires a lot of time, energy, money, and planning... It hasn't been an easy journey.

"Indeed! But it was all worth it."

Charlotte spoke softly, saying that all her past efforts and accumulation were now beginning to yield explosive returns.

Without the accumulation of knowledge and experience, there would be no technological explosion we see today!

"Build high walls, plan extensively, and delay declaring yourself king"—these are all wise sayings!

Of course, this was also thanks to Kuma constantly transmitting some technology back to Vegapunk.

This massive pipeline technology originated from Vegapunk's "Aerial Cloud Pipeline Technology".

Before long, the cloud chariot slowly decelerated and successfully arrived at the deeper underground level below, where it parked smoothly in its designated spot.

Charlotte and her companion got off the vehicle.

"Boss, you've finally arrived."

Adli spoke excitedly.

Now that he has been appointed by Charlotte as the commander in charge of the underwater base, he is naturally eager to show Charlotte some achievements.

Charlotte smiled. Adli, as the family's first cyborg, is now incredibly strong, especially in terms of his command abilities.

"Come on, show me how this place has developed!"

Adli quickly led the way, passing through a huge super tunnel.

A gentle light shone forth.

This is the command center of the entire underwater base, built right next to the underwater cliff.

The huge fan-shaped glass windows offer a clear view of the entire site.

At first glance, it looks like you've stepped into the old Fishman Island!

Charlotte was also quite shocked. To be honest, this underwater underground base was much larger and more beautiful than he had imagined.

"Boss, this place was built using Fishman Island's double-layer membrane technology combined with the barrier technology of the Azure Cloud Top. To get in or out, you have to go through a special underwater port passage..."

Charlotte smiled as she listened to Adli's eloquent introduction; it seemed the kid had really done his homework.

"How was the lighting problem solved here?"

Charlotte spoke calmly, after all, this was dozens of meters underwater, right below the Heberfeller River, where sunlight couldn't penetrate.

For a moment, Adli was speechless, stammering for a while. Lina smiled and began to explain for Charlotte.

"That's a lighting device made using weather balloon technology."

Charlotte nodded, but he didn't blame Adli; it wasn't his fault.

His main purpose in coming here was not these technological applications, but another type of weapon.

The main functions of this underwater base are, firstly, to serve as the headquarters for mechanical sea monsters, and secondly, to act as the secret port for the Hibernian submarine.

It's important to know that over the years, the Hibernian family's mechanical sea monsters have seen a tremendous improvement in both quantity and quality.

He naturally wanted to take a look.

"Where are those mechanical sea monsters?"

Adli perked up immediately, "Where's the boss?"

Following the direction of the finger, Charlotte looked over and could clearly see rows of huge steel mechanical warehouses marked with numbers.

"Boss, each mechanical warehouse is home to a sleeping mechanical sea beast. There are a hundred of them here, and they were all carefully selected. They are the most powerful creatures currently being modified by the family."

Charlotte nodded. This thing is very effective for underwater attacks, but more importantly, it makes it easier to protect enemies from invading from the seabed, which is the key.

In particular, the mechanical sea monsters stored here are constantly being updated and upgraded.

Whether it's defense, attack, or speed, everything is constantly improving.

"Start one and see."

"Alright!" Upon receiving the order, Adli did not hesitate and immediately activated the No. 1 mechanical bay.

As the lights flashed, a giant steel sea serpent slowly appeared.

Its body is like a snake made of steel, and its head is a huge laser blast nozzle.

"Boss, this is a MetalSeadramon. Its body is made of Olga alloy and it is equipped with the latest lightning laser beam."

To be honest, he was quite surprised at first glance; these were the most powerful mechanical sea beasts in the Hibernian family today.

Where is the submarine port?

Charlotte spoke again.

The Hibern family has possessed submarines for a long time, but their capabilities have remained at the most basic level: underwater reconnaissance, escape, intelligence transmission, and carrying out covert missions.

For the powerful Hibernian family, submarines were practically dispensable.

Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Adli quickly walked to the left and pointed, "That's it."

Charlotte glanced over and noticed that the submarines appeared to be new models.

Charlotte pondered whether the plan to add research and attack submarines was necessary, considering that mechanical sea monsters were quite cost-effective.

After hesitating for a moment, Charlotte temporarily rejected the plan in her mind. Modification itself was not difficult; the difficulty lay in matching it with suitable attack methods.

So, is it possible to develop a missile?

Charlotte fell into thought, but whether it could be achieved still required the efforts of the research team.

Overall, however, Charlotte is very satisfied with the current underwater base.

At least his efforts weren't wasted, especially since there was a specially formed group of merfolk warriors guarding the area.

This is the benefit of having a wealth of talent.

As long as he gives the order, many things can be mass-produced and assembled in a short period of time.
