The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 513 You've become part of the old era too.

Five months later...

The New World, Nesk Island.

A group of powerful pirates with different expressions defeated the crazed pirates who were plundering the area.

The flag flying high is a skull with three scars, and this group of people is none other than the Red-Haired Pirates, who have been making great strides in recent years.

In recent years, the Red-Haired Pirates have been active in this world.

As time goes by and through continuous adventures and battles, the bounty increases dramatically.

People have begun to call them the Fifth Royal Company of the High Seas.

With his striking red hair and a sword at his waist, Shanks, the red-haired man, enjoys a delicious post-war feast with a broad smile.

Holding banquets anytime, anywhere is a common form of entertainment for all pirate crews.

Sitting next to Shanks is the now-famous Ben Beckman, known as one of the strongest Yonko's first mates. He has black hair tied in a ponytail and a strand of black hair hanging down his left temple.

"Shanks, are you really sure?"

With a lit cigarette dangling from his lips, Ben Beckman slowly exhaled a wisp of smoke and asked in a deep, deliberate voice.

"Okay, I've decided."

Shanks sat cross-legged, picked up his wine bowl, and took a big gulp, his eyes flashing with excitement.

However, his expression did look much more mature and composed, and the scars on his face added to his domineering aura.

"I can't wait to witness this epic battle."

The fat man, biting into the roasted meat in his hand, grinned with his snow-white teeth as he spoke.

Lucky Roux, one of the key combatants of the Red-Haired Pirates, is a cook by profession, but his pirate nature of loving to watch the excitement is by no means lacking.

"Latchey Trudeau, have something to eat!"

Carrying a sniper rifle, with curly hair and a medium build, Yasopp smiled as he spoke.

Shanks shook his shoulders and burst into laughter.

Ben Beckman didn't say much; on the contrary, he was also incredibly looking forward to the battle between Shanks and that emperor.

Just how terrifying would the emperor, the "Terminator of the Old Era," be when he unleashed his full power?

A pleasant atmosphere filled the entire banquet at this moment.

……

……

Heberfeller Palace!

The magnificent palace was adorned with an expensive red carpet that ran the entire length of it, exuding an aura of wealth.

Its decoration standards are quite high.

At the very center of the palace stands a high golden throne, overlooking and dominating the world.

A person was sitting on it, glancing slightly to the side at the figure below. That position was naturally Charlotte's exclusive throne.

He looked down at the man with a deep expression, quite surprised.

Ben Beckman, a rising star and one of the strongest Yonko commanders, is a master of physical combat, Haki, and marksmanship.

"Lord Charlotte, it's been many years."

Ben Beckman's voice echoed through the empty hall. In truth, the redhead had a pretty good relationship with the Heberfeller family, with quite a few interactions.

The two sides naturally knew each other, but of course, Shanks and the others knew each other as juniors.

"Yes, I can't believe so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. You've grown into a powerful figure who commands respect across the seas."

In response to Charlotte's words, Ben Beckman abandoned his usual somber demeanor and responded with humility and a smile.

"That's all just the world's favor and others' flattery; it's nothing compared to Lord Charlotte."

Ben Beckman's candor and composure impressed Charlotte even more.

The once impetuous young men have become increasingly mature.

The difference is that this was indeed Beckman's true feeling, after all, the Heberfeller family had indeed done them a great favor.

Just like Shanks, who received sword training and instruction from the Heberfeller family.

Several years ago, a group of members of the Red-Haired Pirates also studied here, learning cooking, marksmanship, and more...

Naturally, there is a great debt of gratitude owed to them.

"Well... things have really changed a lot."

He had no dissatisfaction whatsoever with Charlotte's attitude.

Ben Beckman could naturally sense Charlotte's wistful tone and her nostalgic expression.

Anyone who faces this legendary emperor cannot help but feel admiration.

This man single-handedly created the powerful Kingdom of Heberfeller, which is now renowned throughout the world and protects countless people.

Anyone familiar with him knows very well how amazing Hibernian Charlotte's legendary achievements were.

Many believe this is the limit of the number of strong individuals, not the limit of Hibernian Charlotte.

It's not hard to imagine how legendary Charlotte herself is.

"Tell me, what exactly brought you here?"

Charlotte asked about the other person's purpose, as he didn't believe the other person had come to reminisce.

In particular, he already had a vague suspicion in his mind.

He has been paying close attention to the Red-Haired Pirates, and the calls from the world for them to become the Emperor's crew are growing louder and louder.

If they want to truly secure their position, they will undoubtedly have to withstand the test of veteran rulers.

The most direct way is naturally to challenge one of the emperors directly.

"I believe that with your wisdom, you have already made your judgment."

Ben Beckman was sincere and respectful.

"Oh...is that so!"

Charlotte tilted her head, smiling, but didn't continue the conversation.

Seeing this, Ben Beckman did not hesitate and continued speaking firmly and calmly.

"My captain wants to fight you."

Charlotte showed no surprise upon hearing this; just as he had guessed.

"What, do you think I'm the weakest of the Four Emperors, or are you just going easy on me because I know you?"

Charlotte looked at Ben Beckman and spoke calmly, her subtle aura slowly surging.

"Of course not, because you are the strongest. My captain wants to fight the strongest on the sea today."

Ben Beckman answered truthfully.

Hibernian Charlotte is now widely recognized by the older generation of powerful figures as the strongest of the Four Emperors.

The aging white-bearded man, the defeated Big Mom, and Kaido, who had been defeated by Charlotte in a sparring match.

These facts have already proven the strength of the person in front of you. There's no need to say more; their achievements speak for themselves and are beyond question.

"That's really bold!"

Charlotte remained calm as he spoke, showing no concern for those titles; strength was the only thing that mattered.

The legendary battles, over time, naturally evolved into a kind of halo surrounding him in the mouths of the world.

Instead of dwelling on the matter, Charlotte was also eager for a big battle.

Years of passion boiled over at this moment, and he wanted to see just how strong Shanks really was after years of honing his skills.

His gaze suddenly turned sharp and serious.

"Beckman, go back and tell that kid I agree. Let's have a fight!"

Charlotte readily accepted Shanks' challenge and laughed heartily.

This style of challenging is generally the most common tactic used by the Heberfeller family.

Simple, direct, easy to use, and fast-acting.

"clear!"

Hearing Charlotte's words, Ben Beckman readily replied that his purpose in coming here was to challenge her to a duel.

Conduct fair one-on-one battles.

As for group battles and such, forget about it.

The Hibernian family has such a large group of powerful individuals that anyone who sees them will feel their scalp tingle; there's no way to fight them, absolutely no way.

Only the behemoths of the Navy and the World Government can rival the Hibernian family.

"Lord Charlotte, how about ten days from now?" Beckman said, looking at Charlotte.

Charlotte nodded. "No problem."

As Beckman respectfully departed, the entire palace fell silent.

"Boss, isn't Shanks going a bit too far?"

Ivan was somewhat dissatisfied with the other party's direct challenge to the "King".

To put it bluntly, they were somewhat arrogant and ignorant.

For the Heberfeller family, who had dominated the seas for decades, this was undoubtedly a provocation against their authority.

That would make them seem very ignorant of the rules.

"It's alright, I need to hone my skills too! Let the world see!"

Charlotte spoke calmly, his heart filled with anticipation for this battle.

Only through struggle can one continuously improve.

Only with immense strength can one face the final battle ahead, and Shanks' strength is definitely not weak.

How many people in the world possess such strength? It's a rare and precious thing.

Upon hearing Charlotte's reply, Ivan didn't know what else to say, but he was more excited than anything else.

Indeed, being able to let the world see Charlotte's extraordinary bravery once again is an unimaginable satisfaction.

"Go and make the arrangements!"

Charlotte spoke softly, and Ivan bowed and retreated.

A clash between two powerful individuals is earth-shattering, so the location of their battle must be chosen with utmost care.

Ivan's figure quickly disappeared from the hall.

The news of their agreed-upon battle suddenly spread across the sea.

Charlotte remained calm as always, not paying much attention to the exaggerated and chaotic news circulating in the world.

With extensive coverage by the World Economic Herald, the news naturally spread around the world.

This immediately sparked heated discussions around the world.

"What? Is a battle between the new emperor and the old emperor about to break out on the high seas?"

"Who is truly stronger? To whom does the glory of the emperor belong? To the old era or the new?"

"No, I want to go to sea. I want to witness the birth of a king."

"Who is stronger, the terminator of the old era, the great swordsman, the former world's greatest swordsman Charlotte, or Shanks?"

"A clash between the emperors of the new era and the emperors of the old era!!!"

The first half of the Grand Line, Sabaody Archipelago, Shakky & the Bamboo Knocking Bar!

Rayleigh, with his long silver hair and glasses, looked at the newspaper and couldn't help but sigh at how quickly time flies!

Her once jet-black hair has now turned snow-white.

The boy who looked so young back then is now full of vigor and has grown to such an extent; the times have truly been magnificent.

Shanks

"Rayleigh, what are you doing?"

Shakky leaned on the bar counter with one hand, holding a cigarette in the other, and tilted her head, smiling as she looked at the quiet Rayleigh.

"I feel a bit emotional!"

Rayleigh held a newspaper in his hand, spoke softly, his tone light and cheerful.

He looked intently at the large characters on the page that read "Battle of the Old and New Emperors," and his smile deepened.

"I never expected this! Charlotte, you've become part of the old era too!"

Thinking of this, Rayleigh burst into laughter, leaving Shirley looking on in astonishment.

What's gotten into Rayleigh this time?!

Shirley took a couple of puffs of her cigarette and stopped looking at the somewhat crazed Rayleigh.

A New World, Dressrosa!

Inside the royal palace!

Doflamingo looked at the newspaper, a wicked smile spreading across his face.

"Foohoo... This is truly terrifyingly insane, actually wanting to fight that person!"

He always believed that Hibernian Charlotte was the most terrifying person.

Shanks's boldness was truly admirable; his courage was commendable.

The New World, Klaigana Island.

The man with eagle-like pupils is now Mihawk Hawkeye, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, he was filled with emotion.

The duel between two sword masters seemed to brighten up his years of peaceful and uneventful life.

This is a rare showdown that cannot be missed. He also wants to see just how strong the two have become.

These two people, in particular, hold a very special significance for him.

One was his mentor in swordsmanship, and the other was his close friend of many years.

This was no ordinary battle, no ordinary person; he absolutely could not miss it.

East Sea, Frostmoon Village!

Inside the Isshin Dojo!

Wearing round glasses and dressed in Wano Country attire, Shimotsuki Koshiro was deeply moved as he looked at the newspaper.

Such a grand event was truly something that made him, a master swordsman, extremely eager to participate.

He couldn't help but look up at the azure sky, hoping that day would come so he could witness this terrifying contest.

Unfortunately, he couldn't leave and could only watch it using the projection Den Den Mushi.

Roronoa Zoro, with his green hair, looked at his master gazing at the sky with a strange expression.

Confused, he also looked up curiously, but there was nothing in the sky.

"Master, what are you doing? Can you even tell which way is east, west, south, or north by looking at the sky? Doesn't your neck hurt?"

Young Zoro, with his cool demeanor, said something that left Shimotsuki Koshiro speechless, both amused and exasperated.

When the grand finale arrives, let this tough disciple experience it for himself.

This guy is a bit too arrogant now.

Of course, he was more worried that Zoro would grow up and become completely lost, because his disciple was somewhat directionally challenged!

His master ignored his attitude, leaving Zoro completely baffled.

……

This showdown between the new and the old emperor has the whole world buzzing with excitement.

Will the new emperor Shanks soar to new heights, or will the old emperor Charlotte lose her former legendary aura?

This is undoubtedly the most heart-wrenching one.

Countless people began to travel to the new world, the kingdom of Heberfeller.

They wanted to witness this rare showdown firsthand.

This has sparked speculation from various parties.

"Terminator of the Old Era", "Great Swordsman of Gods and Demons", "Lord of Heberfeller"...

Hibernian Charlotte, who possesses numerous legendary titles, is naturally the most popular among the older generation of powerful figures.

However, Shanks is also very popular among young people, and his achievements over the years are undeniable.

The impact on the younger generation is quite strong.

Shanks was also a former member of the Pirate King Roger's crew.

This legendary aura is undeniable; Roger's influence was far greater than imagined.

That's the only Pirate King to date, universally acknowledged, who ushered in the Great Pirate Era.

As Shanks' successor and a member of his crew, his strength must be extraordinary.

Judging from their performance over the years, this is indeed the case.

This is an undeniable fact.

Most importantly, Charlotte has rarely made a move in recent years.

Coupled with the World Government's overt and covert suppression, its influence has naturally faded considerably in the minds of the younger generation.

Comparatively speaking, those who truly understand him know very well that Charlotte is an incredibly terrifying and outrageous person.

The Kingdom of Heberfeller also welcomed crowds from all over the world, and suddenly the entire kingdom became lively.
