The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 522 It really has been a long time.

The year 1518 of the Haiyuan calendar!

On the high seas, a significant event occurred: the rising star "Fire Fist Ace" officially joined the Whitebeard Pirates, becoming part of the Whitebeard family.

This young man, who unleashed formidable combat power in just over a year at sea...

The sudden addition of the Whitebeard Pirates to the crew of a promising individual who was rapidly rising to fame and gaining renown across the seas in the new era has shocked and surprised many.

"Well... Fire Fist Ace, that's a name that brings back fond memories."

Charlotte gently put down the newspaper in her hand, slightly moved.

This young man is naturally the son of the Pirate King Roger, and his powerful bloodline also carries the indelible "name of sin".

Thinking of this, Charlotte's thoughts seemed to return to the scene of their first battle when they first met.

It's been a long time, Roger.

Charlotte sighed. Strictly speaking, he was now an old man from the old era, only relatively younger.

Furthermore, with the Heberfeller ring set in pure gold, his life seemed frozen in its prime.

It's both a blessing and a curse.

Luck is the possibility of near-immortality, misfortune is the passing of those former friends.

Without special means, all beings are equal before the passage of time.

However, he quickly adjusted his mindset, after all, he had many family members who had always been by his side.

That's enough.

Charlotte stared thoughtfully at the time displayed on the newspaper.

The time is drawing ever closer, and the trendsetters of the era will emerge one by one, stirring up the sea and turning the world upside down.

Meanwhile, the Hibernian family's "Roots" organization has already noticed the World Government stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

Everyone's itching to get started!

Whether the new era will bring triumphant progress or a crushing defeat remains to be seen.

The future is in complete chaos.

"Charlotte, what are you thinking about so intently?"

Hancock looked on with curiosity and instinctively pressed her body closer.

This woman!

He's been like this ever since his last Devil Fruit power awakened.

He knew very well that Hancock was worried, as if he might suddenly disappear one day.

That concern has led to this action.

Charlotte patiently pointed out to Hancock the photo of the young Ace with the healing smile in the newspaper.

"It brought back some memories."

Hancock looked in the direction Charlotte was pointing and saw the boy's freckled face; his smile was indeed sunny and cheerful.

Hancock felt inexplicably jealous that it reminded Charlotte of some distant memories.

Seeing Hancock's expression, Charlotte stroked her dark hair and said, "Don't overthink it."

Faced with Charlotte's gentle touch, Hancock blushed and lightly kissed Charlotte's cheek.

There was always a sense of unease in her heart, an unease she couldn't quite put her finger on.

"Mom and Dad, what are you doing?!"

A childish voice suddenly rang out, startling Hancock so much that she jumped to her feet as if pricked by a needle, even taking the time to tidy herself up gracefully.

"Cough cough cough..."

Charlotte coughed lightly several times, feeling a little embarrassed by such intimate behavior in front of the child.

"Why is Hannah being naughty again?"

"I wasn't being naughty! I was just really bored."

Hannah spoke softly, sounding somewhat aggrieved, in her defense.

Charlotte had absolutely no way to deal with her precious daughter; she was a total mischievous little devil.

"Really not?"

Hancock looked at little Hannah; as a mother, she knew her daughter's mischievous nature all too well.

"No, I was just passing through and came to see my parents."

Hancock glared at Hannah, feeling that her quirky daughter was saying it on purpose.

Charlotte touched her nose, then got up and picked up Hannah.

"Come, let your father see my little princess Hannah."

Charlotte, decisively changing the subject, immediately started teasing Hannah.

Amidst laughter and playful banter, a scene of harmonious joy unfolded.

To be honest, he was a little worried about his eldest son, Sherlock, because Lina was being a bit too strict with him.

Even though he was the only eldest son in the family, it still worried his father a bit, and for this reason, Lina lost her temper with him for the first time.

Charlotte understood Lina's thoughts; perhaps the desire for one's son to succeed is a common trait among parents!

Warm moments are fleeting.

Soon, Hariri walked in, one hand on his chest. "Your Majesty, the Meteorological Minister, Mr. Harreda, has arrived."

The various knightly orders, serving as his personal guards, now take turns staying in the royal city to perform guard duties, except for important missions.

In his opinion, this was completely unnecessary. He could sweep away an entire area with a single move, and even he couldn't withstand it.

Whether or not one joins the Knights of Fame is irrelevant.

However, many people felt it was necessary, mainly to save face and eliminate petty scoundrels.

Charlotte can't handle everything.

Charlotte perked up at Hariri's words and put Hannah down.

Hancock, who was standing nearby, immediately understood and left with Hannah.

"Let Harreda in!"

"yes!"

Hariri bowed and withdrew, and a moment later Harida, wearing a blue hat, walked in.

"His Majesty!"

Charlotte smiled and nodded. Harreda had made outstanding contributions to the family in meteorology, reducing the economic losses caused by natural disasters to the Kingdom of Heberfeller.

"Mr. Harreda, what did you gain this time?"

Charlotte looked at Harreda with some anticipation.

"Yay! Your Majesty, as you wished, the weather defense barrier has been successfully developed."

Charlotte was stunned by Harreda's words. What she thought would be a pleasant surprise turned out to be such a big one.

The Weather Defense Barrier is a weather-related weapon specifically developed to protect the entire continent of Hibernian.

It envelops the entire Kingdom of Heberfeller, creating an artificially generated extreme weather environment in the surrounding sea area of ​​the city of Heberfeller.

To stop the enemy's plan to attack from all sides and launch a surprise attack on the Kingdom of Heberfeller.

I didn't expect it to actually be completed today, but Charlotte doesn't know the specific arrangements.

Charlotte naturally asked, "What are the specific arrangements?"

Harreda was equally excited, as this was the most widely applied research experiment in meteorology to date.

This is truly an incredible mega-project!

When Charlotte asked him questions, Harreda couldn't wait to explain his plan in detail.

"Your Majesty, we intend to use the four former outpost islands as a window to the outside world."

Charlotte nodded slightly; this was not hard to understand.

The four outpost islands, forming a semi-circular defensive line between each other, can also serve as accurate coordinates and signposts for the safe navigation routes of the Kingdom of Heberfil.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"Continue~"

Intrigued, Charlotte wanted to hear what other fascinating aspects there were.

After all, this is the first weather weapon in the entire Hibernian family to involve a large-scale environment.

Harreda spoke at length.

"There will be a main weather transmission station on the continent of Hiberfeller, and branch weather receiving stations will be built at equidistant locations in the area between the four outpost islands, thoroughly amplifying the chaotic magnetic field around the continent of Hiberfeller throughout the surrounding sea area."

A chaotic magnetic field is a prerequisite for extreme weather in the new world, and now it is being amplified through meteorological technology, making its terrifying potential all the more apparent.

"Moreover, under our control, huge ocean currents and whirlpools will form in the sea area near the continent of Hiberfeller, and the sky will be filled with lightning storms. Only by taking the correct route through the four outpost islands can one reach the continent of Hiberfeller."

At this moment, Charlotte couldn't help but burst into hearty laughter, "Alright, alright! Dr. Harreda."

What's even more perfect is that the Heberfeller family not only possesses the merfolk race, who are skilled in battle at sea, but also has a secret weapon that has never been made public.

Mechanical Sea Beast Weapons

It can be perfectly integrated with this extreme weather barrier, hidden within it, to further enhance safety.

This is absolutely like adding wings to a tiger!

In the future, as long as the four outpost islands are transformed into true war fortresses, they can achieve the same effect as the Justice Gate in Impel Down.

For the Kingdom of Heberfil, this truly represents a significant increase in security, directly eliminating 90% of the risks.

"Let's call it the Hibernian Weather Shield! Execute the plan immediately."

Charlotte spoke calmly and gave the order.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Dr. Harreda quickly spoke up, expressing his immense satisfaction with the weather weapon he had developed that could protect this ideal country.

This wonderful country should not suffer from external destruction.

After the completion of the Heberfeller Wall.

Hareda understood that the entire Kingdom of Heberfeller was constantly facing unknown risks.

Therefore, many meteorologists work day and night to study this place and dedicate their efforts to protecting it.

With the dual defenses of the Heberfeller Wall and the Heberfeller Shield, it must be said that even without considering the numerous powerful experts in the Heberfeller family, it is formidable.

Its defensive capabilities alone are among the best in the world.

The future seems to be getting brighter and brighter.

Charlotte sat alone in her office, lost in thought.

His initial approach of sparing no effort and investing heavily in acquiring various technologies was absolutely correct.

The benefits it brings are immense!

He was increasingly looking forward to Vegapunk creating the Fusion Reactor as soon as possible.

Once we obtain that item, it will undoubtedly provide stronger security for the Kingdom of Heberfeller.

Most importantly, the Fusion Reactor must never fall into the hands of the World Government.

Because that thing could produce the energy that powers Uranus, the King of the Sea, it posed a great threat to the Heberfeller family.

In addition, there are various advanced technologies that Vegapunk researched on the "future island" Egerhead that can improve the standard of living.

This made Charlotte value Vegapunk, the world's number one scientist with boundless imagination, even more.

If we were to seize control of the other party, how much would that boost the technology of the entire Kingdom of Hibernian?

I can't even imagine!

At that time, the first truly future city may appear on the continent of Hibernian.
