The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 512 The Fifth Emperor of the Great Seas...

Another year has passed, and the year 1516 of the Haiyuan Calendar has arrived!

The sea was turbulent and many things happened, but the Heberfeller family was frantically accumulating power at its own pace.

Under Charlotte's planning, all of the Heberfeller Kingdom's plans are progressing steadily.

The CP9 team, which had been turned against the government, was also quietly providing the World Government with a mix of true and false intelligence about the Kingdom of Hibernian.

Everything was proceeding smoothly and methodically, all within his ingenious plan.

The World Government's temporary hesitation due to false intelligence provides a favorable premise for the stability of the Kingdom of Heberfeller.

Charlotte felt gratified; with his strength constantly increasing, his chances of winning in the future would be even greater.

Given that the final battle was inevitable, it goes without saying that it would be extremely brutal.

It was a life-or-death situation, allowing no room for complacency; he had to give it his all.

On a real battlefield, brutal warfare is undoubtedly inevitable and constitutes the dominant theme.

It's important to understand that while the strong will handle the main battlefields, other battlefields will also require significant sacrifices.

All the effort he put in, sparing no expense, was for the sake of achieving final victory.

The World Government and the Celestial Dragons are the greatest threats to the Hibernate Kingdom.

This is a battle for survival!

This is a battle of ideologies.

As Charlotte pondered, she kept calculating how to continuously improve her strength, which was the most crucial core principle.

He already had a very strong and clear premonition about this core issue.

That is, he still yearns for a challenging battle, a final tempering to ignite his passion and complete the path to ultimate awakening.

If his Zoan-type Devil Fruit ability can be fully awakened, then he will have a better chance of winning the battle against "King of the Old World" Im.

All five elders are awakened beings, so it's a foregone conclusion that Im will awaken as well.

Otherwise, how could they suppress the Five Elders and make them bow down to them like servants?

What he was most concerned about was the extent of Im's awakening and what kind of Devil Fruit he had eaten.

These are all huge problems.

A misjudgment could lead to death.

Therefore, Charlotte is even more looking forward to a thrilling battle to achieve a great leap forward in strength.

Once a Devil Fruit user fully awakens their abilities, the resulting effects are far too astonishing.

Especially for Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, the awakening of Mythical Zoan-type abilities is absolutely heaven-defying.

Because in addition to the characteristics of the Zoan type, it also possesses almost all the terrifying abilities of some Paramecia and Logia types.

It can be said to cover all three systems.

The power of Zoan-type Mythical Zoan species is thus evident.

"Squeak~ Crack~"

His door was pushed open, and Ivan walked in with steady steps.

"Boss."

Charlotte wasn't too surprised by Ivan's arrival; instead, she immediately asked him a question.

"How is it?"

Ivan naturally understood what Charlotte wanted to know and answered without any ambiguity.

"As per your instructions, we have successfully established a three-service system including the Navy, Army, and Air Force, which is now fully operational..."

"The navy has the largest number of personnel, followed by the army, and then the air force has the smallest number..."

Charlotte listened quietly to Ivan's detailed report, nodding slightly from time to time.

They expressed full approval of Ivan's report.

This is the most important thing; the formation of a regular army is imperative.

The construction of a regular army is one of the foundations, serving as an important force to protect the kingdom and deter foreign lands.

"Good. The entire army of the Kingdom of Hibernator should also be quickly prepared to be re-equipped, Ivan."

Charlotte spoke calmly, saying that the weapons and equipment of the Kingdom of Hibernian are currently undergoing a comprehensive upgrade, which is crucial for improving the army's combat power.

"clear."

Ivan spoke respectfully, then immediately withdrew; he needed to urge the matter to be implemented as soon as possible.

There was an urgent sense of impending doom; Ivan had been following Charlotte for far too long.

He knew very well that for Boss Charlotte to be so serious and relentlessly expand his army, it must be a war that could change history and the world.

As one of Charlotte's most trusted and capable lieutenants, he must fully support his boss's actions.

Will the Heberfeller family remain glorious and great, and will they stand eternally at the top of the world?

It all depends on Charlotte. All he can do is fully cooperate with Charlotte's arrangements and plans and carry them out firmly.

Filled with excitement and trepidation, Ivan secretly vowed to go all out and increase his efforts after leaving.

Of course, Charlotte's arrangements were exactly the same as those made by the Navy.

The only difference is the addition of the army and air force, with the three services working together.

Just as the navy's greatest strength lies in the number of warships, their cannons, and so on, the main purpose of which is to deal with threats from the sea.

It can be said that it brought together the largest number of troops in the entire Kingdom of Heberfeller.

As for the army, it focuses on missile weapons, modified mechanical beasts, and a large number of land armored vehicles.

For the Hibernian family, who possess advanced technology, armored vehicles, tanks, and machine guns are easy to manufacture.

Cars have always existed in this world, but due to geographical reasons and limitations in land area, they are not common.

When the army is on a vast land, its strength will surely surprise people.

Of course, the army's true main force consists of those modified mechanical beasts, which are the most terrifying killing weapons.

The modified mechanical beast is equipped with the best modification technology of the Hibernian family. It is not only highly defensive and agile, but also possesses powerful firepower.

It can be described as a weaker version of the "Dawnists," but its main characteristic compared to the Dawnists is that it is more flexible.

This is the most suitable force for large-scale land operations.

The final air force consists of modified mechanical flying creatures and other similar units, responsible for security from the sky.

Mechanical flying birds are the most flexible and practical, which is why Charlotte did not order the full-scale development of flying machines.

Once things stabilize, research can proceed, but there's not much need for it right now.

These measures were all designed to compensate for the significant shortfall in the number of elite knights of the Heberfeller family.

The characteristics of elite troops are that they are expensive and few in number. Their insufficient numbers can easily lead to the knights' strength being depleted by a large number of ordinary naval elite troops.

His elite knights bore the most important mission in the war, and it would be a waste to expend them on ordinary naval soldiers.

True strength cannot be easily replaced.

Charlotte narrowed his eyes slightly; of course, he already planned to further expand the number of knights.

On the one hand, it increases the diversity of the Knights Order, and on the other hand, it makes up for some of its shortcomings.

The Merman Knights are a pretty good choice.

It's important to understand that the ocean is the main battlefield for fish-men, giving them a significant environmental advantage.

Take Jinbe, the knight of the sea, for example. He can even take on a powerful figure like one of the Four Emperors in the ocean.

Although it's only a temporary halt, there's no doubt that this alone is astonishing.

The Four Emperors aren't some easy targets; their strength isn't something you can just find anywhere.

Such unique advantages are hard not to be tempted.

Jinbe could easily be appointed as the leader of the Knights.

Using his current status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea as cover, he can secretly train the Fishman Knights—what a wonderful thing!

It could also give the world government a big surprise.

When talking about fish-men, we can't forget the giants of the One Piece world!

The power of giants has never been ignored, so the Giant Knights are an inevitable force.

A group of enormous beings born with extreme physical strength, they are among the few combat forces in the world compared to most other groups.

If combined with the latest alloy armor and weapons developed by the Hibernian family...

Its destructive power would absolutely shock the world.

Furthermore, the Heberfeller family has taken a significant and decisive step in the cultivation of the ancient giants.

At least it won't get out of control like before, and its mental capacity has also improved considerably.

All of these are necessary factors.

Besides these two famous races, the Mink Tribe is also a very good choice.

The Heberfeller family's power is being accumulated rapidly and continuously.

Hancock walked in with the latest newspaper and immediately noticed Charlotte deep in thought, her face filled with heartache.

It's obvious that Charlotte is once again considering the development of the Kingdom of Heberfeller.

Charlotte lives like this every day now; even the powerful Kingdom of Heberfeller still prevents her from enjoying life in peace.

"Charlotte...the newspaper's here!"

Hancock quietly approached Charlotte and spoke slowly and calmly.

Hearing the gentle voice, Charlotte turned her head, smiled, and said with concern.

"Thank you for your hard work lately, Hancock."

Hancock truly did her utmost to assist him in governing the kingdom, especially in the development plans of various cities, the defense of the city guards, and so on, constantly learning from everyone.

Even Hancock, who never wanted to get involved in these things, is constantly changing for him.

Charlotte understood Hancock's intention: to share the burden with him.

Hancock shook her head. "I'm not the one who's been working hard; it's you who have been pushing yourself too hard these past few years."

Her face showed tenderness, and her eyes were filled with deep concern and love.

"It's alright, sit down and stay with me for a while!"

He dared not be careless in the slightest; he was no longer alone!

For the sake of his wife, children, and numerous brothers and family members, he could not afford to lose.

Once a person develops an obsession, it becomes impossible to let go of it.

Hancock put down her newspaper and sat down next to Charlotte, gently massaging his shoulders to try and relieve his recent fatigue.

Charlotte was overjoyed and gently patted Hancock's little hand. "No need, take a rest!"

Upon hearing this, Hancock released her grip, tilted her head, and leaned tightly against Charlotte's shoulder.

Only in this way could she feel at ease.

Lina is now even busier, and delivering newspapers to him has become one of Hancock's jobs.

As he smelled the faint fragrance emanating from his surroundings, Charlotte smiled.

With his other free hand, he flipped through the latest newspaper, wanting to see if anything major had happened recently.

Then his eyes lit up.

[Shocking! The Fifth Emperor of the Sea is about to appear... The Red-Haired Pirates have officially launched their challenge against the Fifth Emperor's crew.]

A stunning smile spread across his face. Shanks has arrived!

Is the fifth emperor of the sea about to make a powerful debut?

To become the fifth emperor of the sea, one needs to gain the recognition of the other emperors and have the world see that one's strength is comparable to that of the other four emperors.

Hancock noticed Charlotte's smile and her gaze also fell on the red-haired man with a scar on his face.

She had naturally heard of this person.

They've gained considerable fame in recent years, though only within the Hibernian family, a royal family that dominates the New World.

But that's still not enough!

"Charlotte, you seem to care a lot about this person!"

In response to Hancock's question, Charlotte gently stroked Hancock's delicate, high nose bridge.

"Indeed, this is a person of extraordinary talent. His strength is no weaker than that of the king of the sea. He can be called a person who has reached the pinnacle."

Hancock was taken aback. She didn't know much about Shanks, and she hadn't expected Charlotte to speak so highly of him.

A world-renowned emperor, a legendary pirate with the title of the end of the old era... actually gave this evaluation to the other party.

"To gain Charlotte's approval is truly remarkable," Hancock thought absentmindedly for a moment.

"What are you thinking about?"

Charlotte was somewhat curious about Hancock, who was slightly lost in thought.

"I think it's really amazing to receive such a high evaluation from you."

Hancock said with a proud look on her face.

In her opinion, Charlotte was the strongest, and the other party should feel honored to receive such praise from Charlotte.

Charlotte knew from Hancock's expression that Hancock's arrogant and narcissistic personality had kicked in again.

However, he didn't mind at all. His wife was proud of his height, which was perfectly normal!

He was even more curious about what Shanks would do next.

Gaining the recognition of the Four Emperors and being acknowledged by the world as the Fifth Emperor of the Great Sea is no easy feat!

If he were to successfully become the new fifth emperor, he would naturally need territory, which would be sufficient for the vast expanse of the new world.

Don't underestimate the new world; it's only small in comparison to the rest of the world.

The only difference is the level of their strategic value.

Furthermore, now that the other four emperors have their own fixed territories, they don't pay as much attention to external affairs as before.

Their base camp is their foundation.

The current Four Emperors' crews are different from those of the past, due to the influence of the Hibernate family's insane infighting.

The Beasts Pirates, Big Mom Pirates, and Whitebeard Pirates were all forced to join in.

They also spared no effort in the management and development of their headquarters...

After all, no one wants to be pitifully weak when they are among the Four Emperors; that would be a huge embarrassment.

The overall strength of the current Four Emperors has become even more unfathomable.

In fact, as long as their base remains intact, they can make a comeback in a short time, even if they suffer heavy losses elsewhere.
