The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 493 The Strongest Survivors After the Great Waves of Change

The campfire at night was a bright, red glow, with scattered sparks crackling and flying high into the sky.

Charlotte sat beside him, her outstretched hands feeling the heat of the flames, unusually calm.

Reflecting on my long stay in the capital, always training... this sudden quiet made me feel incredibly relaxed.

"That's great!"

Mitis tilted his head and listened intently to Charlotte's words.

"Your Majesty, was something troubling you earlier?"

Charlotte looked at Mitis. To be honest, this sudden formal address sometimes made him feel a little uncomfortable.

As one of the world's top experts, these titles and appellations are of little significance to him now.

He doesn't care what you call him; strength is the foundation of everything.

There's a strange sense of distance when someone addresses you like that to someone you're close to!

"There are no outsiders here, so we don't need to be so formal with each other. It's too awkward."

After hearing this, Mitis didn't say much, but just murmured something.

"Understood, Mr. Charlotte."

"Then, Mr. Charlotte, what are you troubled by?" Mitis asked, voicing his doubts, as if he had returned to his former energetic self.

Just like when we first met, that little kid who followed me around is now a powerful pirate who can stand on his own.

trouble?

Charlotte smiled and said meaningfully, "That's really too much!"

The safety of my family, the country I worked so hard to build, the war that engulfed the entire world, and the devastating tsunami that threatened to destroy the world…

He didn't know if there was enough time left to make the best arrangements.

Time is somewhat tight, but soon everything will be settled.

Faced with Charlotte's answer, Mitis's eyes flickered. In fact, many of the family's cadres who had followed Charlotte in battles for more than ten years had more or less noticed something unusual.

The implementation of various large-scale defense plans by the Kingdom of Heberfeller is enough to illustrate many points.

Because that's not just one or two plans.

However, everyone firmly believes that the Heberfeller family will continue to shine under Mr. Charlotte's leadership.

He was so certain, so certain, and so resolute; the fervent belief deep within him never wavered.

What the future holds? No one knows, but they will surely be the victors.

……

……

A month and a half later!

After passing through the Reverse Mountain in the North Sea, Charlotte and her crew successfully entered the first half of the Grand Line and headed towards Alabasta.

This was a truly awe-inspiring and magical experience for Hawkins, who was visiting the Grand Line for the first time.

Alabasta!

Even a country with an astonishing land area, or a population of tens of millions, is still sparsely populated compared to its vast size.

The same problem exists on the continent of Hibernium.

Along that vast border, the two Heberfeller family dragon-class knight ships could easily find uninhabited landing sites.

It's safe to say that it's not safe at all. Six hundred thousand troops are far from enough, and at the very least, the border cannot be guaranteed.

This highlights just how necessary the defense plan for the continent of Charlottesbury was.

Whether it's the massive wall of Hibernian or the plan to artificially create severe weather in the waters surrounding Hibernian.

These are all powerful means of protecting the continent of Hibernian from foreign invasion.

Only a powerful force like the Kingdom of Heberfeller would dare to attempt it.

Because such a project is truly one of the largest projects in the world.

The World Government's "Bridge Country" project is a mega-project, far larger than the Heberfeller family's plan.

Charlotte was well aware that even with two layers of outer defense on the continent of Hibernian, it was still impossible to defend against certain special Devil Fruit users.

The entire plan includes a third layer, the "Azure Cloud Top," creating an astonishing three-layered defense.

Once fully implemented, it won't completely prevent enemy intrusion, but it will be enough to block over 90% of intrusions.

Add to that the powerful family members stationed in various regions, and even the most dangerous places are beyond description.

Charlotte thought of many things in an instant.

He finally managed to get out this time, and he can't easily turn back without gaining enough.

This may be his last rare voyage at sea.

He then said, "Hariri, go and invite Crocodile to come and meet me."

Hariri's body stiffened abruptly. "Yes, Your Majesty."

In the next instant, with a single sweep of his hand, a transparent door appeared and vanished in an instant.

Hawkins was always shocked every time he saw them; the strong members of the Heberfeller family were second to none in the outside world.

This is generally accepted.

As for Kikiya, she has more important matters to attend to, so she is not in Alabasta.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the criminal organization, Baroque Works!

Crocodile, with a large cigar dangling from his lips, sat on the sofa with a slight bow, looking at the intelligence report that had been delivered to him, his expression grim.

He hadn't expected the Heart Pirates to be as slippery as eels.

He had been unable to win over Robin, which was making him somewhat frustrated.

Without the help of archaeologist Robin, it would have been impossible to decipher the Poneglyphs and find the whereabouts of the ancient weapon "Pluto".

This shows him how he conquered the world.

His subordinates were too useless; they even dragged him down when it came to gathering intelligence.

Mr. 1, dressed in an outfit similar to that of a Shaolin monk, is a senior agent of Baroque Works and a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user named Slash-Slash Fruit. He has seen through Crocodile's intentions.

"Boss, let me track down the Heart Pirates!"

"Mr. 1," Daz Bonis began in a deep voice, his face expressionless and serious.

"Need not!"

Crocodile refused without hesitation; he didn't want his most loyal subordinate to act rashly.

Based on the intelligence, he clearly understood that even if Mr. 1, Daz Bones, went to track him, it would be of no use.

The Heart Pirates are very powerful; they're not someone these guys can easily mess with.

Only he himself could do it, and that has always been the case. Unfortunately, his opponent was too cunning, and he always left empty-handed.

Suddenly, Crocodile's gaze narrowed slightly.

On the empty floor, a strange door slowly rose.

Mr. 1, Daz Bones, immediately assumed an attack stance, standing guard beside Crocodile.

Crocodile sat calmly on the sofa as usual, his eyes slightly narrowed as he stared at the door.

next moment……

The moment the door opened, a figure stepped out.

Crocodile's eyes flickered. How could he not recognize that figure? He had seen the bounty poster countless times.

Hariri, a member of the Hibernian family and a member of the Deathly Disciple family, is a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit user with the Door-Door Fruit ability.

"What a rare guest!"

Crocodile gave a slightly displeased cold laugh in response to Hariri's uninvited arrival.

Although the other party is a member of one of the Four Emperors of the New World, the two sides keep to themselves and do not interfere with each other.

Furthermore, he was once a great pirate who survived a challenge against Whitebeard.

Hariri didn't care about the guy's attitude; he was there to deliver the king's orders.

"Crocodile, I, the King, invite you to an audience. Come with me!"

Hariri is simple and direct.

"Oh...you say you want to see me, and you just say you want to see me? The ruler of the new world is truly domineering!"

The unruly Crocodile would not easily submit; as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he also had his own pride.

Being bossed around by one of the other party's subordinates made him lose face.

"Are you going to refuse?"

Harry spoke with a forced smile, a chilling murderous intent beginning to emanate from him.

Mr.1, Daz Bonis, felt a chill run down his spine. As a former notorious assassin in the West Blue, he knew this feeling all too well.

The murderous intent was astonishing, absolutely astonishing!

This terrifying killing intent comes from the countless lives he has taken. This is the legendary leader of the Skeleton Knights, the Dead Man's Men, a renowned pirate in the New World...

Crocodile immediately became alert; the opponent's murderous aura also startled him.

Over the years, he has wasted too much time on that vague legend of Hades, and the intensity of his battles has also declined sharply.

In particular, placing his hopes on "Pluto" almost caused him to lose his former ambition and drive.

His strength had actually decreased instead of increased, and he was feeling considerable pressure.

You should know that he was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and was once a renowned pirate.

Hariri didn't urge him and remained very calm.

In his eyes, the vast majority of the Seven Warlords of the Sea were nothing more than losers who had lost their ambition and become depressed.

You should know that they will experience all kinds of battles and duels every day in the new world.

Having endured countless years of trials and tribulations, they are the strong ones who survived the test of time.

The Navy's general strength assessment is actually inaccurate.

Take, for example, the six saints of the Heberfeller family.

They are all true great pirates with astonishing strength. For them, becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea would be a piece of cake.

Of course, naval ranks cannot accurately reflect a person's strength, as there are individual differences and they are not absolute.

Vice Admiral Garp is a terrifyingly powerful Marine... Of course, there are also Marine Vice Admirals who rose through the ranks based on years of military achievements, and whose strength is relatively weak...

It can only be said that the existing various combat power comparison systems have only one reference value and are not absolutely accurate.

Hancock, for example, is extremely powerful now because she has received the full support and training of the Heberfeller family.

Many strong individuals experience inevitable fluctuations due to factors such as age, willpower, and illness.

Perhaps one day, when the once-defeated Seven Warlords of the Sea rekindle their hope and find their way back to the right path, their strength will increase dramatically.

The two sides are locked in a stalemate, and an invisible ripple is spreading.

"What? You want to fight!"

Although Hariri's gaze was cold, his heart was burning with passion, after all, the other party had become famous much earlier than him.

If we could emulate Boss Charlotte and end the era of powerful figures, that would be a truly satisfying thing!

Crocodile gave a cold, menacing laugh.

"I was really underestimated!"

Hariri became visibly agitated, his bloodshot eyes and ferocious smile making him look like a demon.

Mr. 1, Daz Bones, was chilled to the bone; the bloodthirstiness of the New World's powerful figures far exceeded the imagination of outsiders.

Every battle he fought was a life-or-death struggle, and he has come this far step by step. Charlotte even described Hariri as a "daredevil".

Although I don't understand why it's Saburo, that's not important; the point is that he's the most fearless when it comes to life.
