The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 524 The Promise! The Seed! History!

The year 1519 of the Haiyuan calendar!

Since the war between the old and new emperors, the Red-Haired Pirates have been constantly on adventures, and during this time they have naturally established their own territory.

The New World, Elbaf Sea.

A group of powerful and unruly pirates gazed at the colossal tree, a sight rarely seen in the world.

The vast, boundless canopy of the tree plunges into the clouds high in the sky, casting large shadows that completely block out the sun.

The leader was none other than Shanks, the Red-Haired.

He stood at the bow of the boat, gazing at the towering tree, and couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.

The Divine Tree Adam is truly a rare and precious tree in this world!

The Red-Haired Pirates came here, of course, for the sake of their appointment.

He was unfortunately defeated in his battle with Charlotte, and Charlotte made a request.

That means they need to find him a seed from the divine tree, Adam.

As for the location of the seed, it is naturally Elbaf, the legendary homeland of giants.

They also expended a great deal of effort to find the eternal pointer of Elbaf before arriving here.

The flag bearing three scarred skulls flying high signifies the arrival of the Fifth Emperor, the Red-Haired Pirates, on this continent.

During this period, the Red-Haired Pirates continued their adventures and battles, not only causing their bounties to rise dramatically but also significantly enhancing their strength.

Can't be compared.

With striking red hair and a sword at his waist, Shanks, the red-haired man, is all smiles.

Ben Beckman, with his black hair tied in a ponytail and holding a revolver, poked his scalp with the gun.

"Shanks, are we really going to enter Elbaf?"

Elbaf is extremely averse to the outside world, and such a swaggering entry could easily provoke a fight.

It's really hard to say what will happen if we recklessly rush into an unknown force.

Red-haired Shanks, with one hand on the hilt of Griffin at his waist, spoke calmly.

"Okay, I've decided."

Upon hearing this, Ben Beckman did not offer any advice. Since the captain had made his decision, they would simply go along with him.

The reminder I just gave was entirely out of a sense of duty and trust as a partner and the First Mate.

A strange look flickered in Shanks' eyes; it was the taste of adventure!

Even if it weren't for that promise, he still wanted to see this mysterious Elbaf.

In particular, there is a path directly leading to Sky Island above the Divine Tree Adam.

It is known as the "Road to the West".

However, he didn't actually go to the Sky Island via that route.

"I can't wait to embark on this adventure."

The fat man, Lucky Rue, was biting into the roasted meat in his hand, grinning with his snow-white teeth, his expression excited.

Adventure and delicious food are his favorite things!

"Lachi Roux, nothing can shut you up!"

Yasopp, a sniper with curly hair, leaned on his sniper rifle and spoke without any mercy.

"Tch, doesn't Yasopp want that too?"

Lachi Rue spoke casually as he took a bite of meat.

They were all guys with a passion for adventure at heart, and Yasopp couldn't fool him no matter what he thought.

Even after Yasopp was ruthlessly exposed by Lucky Roux, he didn't get angry.

Shanks shook his shoulders and then burst into hearty laughter.

"Brothers, let's head to Elbaf!"

"Roar~"

The Red-Haired Pirates cheered in response, and their ship quickly set sail towards the Elbaf continent.

That must have been a fantastic adventure!

……

……

Two months later!

Lati Island Office!

Charlotte chuckled as she looked at the newspaper article.

[The Fifth Emperor of the Sea, Red-Haired Shanks, sparred with the giant prince Loki in Elbaf, forming an alliance, and Elbaf became Shanks' territory...]

To be honest, Charlotte had to admit that Morgans' intelligence speed was top-notch regarding this report.

Loki, the giant prince, can spar with Shanks; Charlotte has already obtained relevant information from Kiki.

Moreover, from an intelligence perspective...

It is very likely that the two sides ended in a draw.

This inevitably leads one to speculate, and the power of the giant race is truly extraordinary.

He didn't know whether Shanks went all out, but none of that mattered to him.

It is enough that Elbaf and Hiberfyl, the two most powerful kingdoms in the world, have no conflict of interest.

Charlotte didn't care about anything else; whether the fight between the two was fair or not was of little concern to him.

Now, what he cares about most is whether the other party can bring back the seed of the sacred tree, Adam, which he has been longing for.

The significance of the seed of the divine tree, Adam, to the continent of Heberfellow is beyond doubt.

However, the answer to everything should be known soon, because he received news that Shanks had already left Elbaf.

They are heading towards the Kingdom of Heberfeller.

at the same time!

On the vast, boundless ocean, the Red-Haired Pirates' ship, the Red Fury, sailed swiftly through the waves.

"Shanks, we're almost at the Kingdom of Heberfeller."

Ben Beckman, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, exhaled a wisp of smoke and began to speak in a slightly deep voice.

After sailing continuously from Elbaf, they finally appeared in the waters near Hibern.

"It's really tiring! After this is over, we'll go back to the East China Sea and get a good rest."

Shanks seemed to have thought of something, and a broad smile appeared on his face.

"We can see that little guy again."

Ben Beckman's usually composed expression softened considerably.

Soon the Red Furs arrived safely in the Hibernian Sea.

"What is that?"

The Red-Haired Pirates were taken aback; it wasn't like this when they first arrived!

Dark clouds loomed over the surrounding seas, thunder roared violently, whirlpools appeared irregularly, and towering waves surged continuously.

The scene was unusually astonishing.

It was clear that any ship that dared to trespass would be destroyed by that extreme force of nature.

Is this also one of the tactics employed by the Heberfeller family?

Just as they were stunned and confused.

A giant dragon appeared high in the sky, circling continuously and letting out a deafening roar that attracted everyone's attention.

The next second, a figure landed steadily on the deck of the Red Furs.

The newcomer was none other than Admiral Pande, the Asura King of the Heberfeller family.

"Shanks, it's been a long time."

Pande greeted him.

The other party is one of the Five Emperors of the Great Sea and an old acquaintance, so it's normal for him to come and pick him up in person.

Shanks also greeted him cheerfully, "Long time no see, Pendor."

"Let's go! I'll take you inside."

Guided by Pande, the group quickly proceeded along the safe route.

"Pander, is this recurring extreme weather pattern also your family's doing?"

Shanks asked with some curiosity.

"Yes, this is the Shield of Hibern. Its purpose is to use extreme weather to stop hostile enemies. Only by taking the correct route can one successfully reach the continent of Hibern."

As expected, everyone was shocked upon hearing Pan De's introduction.

The mysterious and unpredictable Heberfeller family always possesses astonishing methods that surprise the world.

Everyone looked towards the raging extreme zone beyond the safe flight path; this was truly a massive undertaking!

Nobody knows how the Heberfeller family managed to do it.

This is utterly unbelievable!

Soon, the Red Furs arrived at the first checkpoint, the border outpost!

The defensive fortress built around what was once an entire border island is impressive and enormous.

Magnificent, extremely magnificent!

Standing before us, even the Red Furs appears tiny.

"Only by passing through the Gate of Justice in Heberfeller can we continue our journey to the continent of Heberfeller."

Pande spoke softly, while the others remained silent.

The power of the Kingdom of Heberfeller is truly awe-inspiring.

With Pande leading the way, there was naturally no inspection of the ship.

The gates of justice, symbolizing Heberfeller, slowly opened.

The Red Furs passed the first stage and continued its journey.

Not long after leaving the border outpost, a hazy and enormous shadow could be seen in the distance, like an ancient behemoth lurking in the shadows.

Needless to say, everyone knows that it must be the world-famous Heberfeller Wall.

Everyone couldn't help but think of the strongest defense.

With so many Heberfeller families, their strength and resources truly make other forces pale in comparison.

Fortunately, they simply preferred adventure and didn't envy the methods used by the Heberfeller family, not even a little bit...

The power of the Kingdom of Heberfeller was on full display at this moment, demonstrating just how powerful it must be to constantly redefine the world's understanding of power.

It creates all sorts of incomprehensible miracles!

Finally, the Red Furs arrived at the last checkpoint on the continent of Hibernatore.

A row of magnificent and splendid triumphal arches forms a straight passage.

The Arc de Triomphe is also engraved with numerous symbols of the Heberfeller family.

And here lies its own independent family technology—Azure Cloud Peak!

If you force your way through, you will be subject to an automatic counterattack from the Sky Dome.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the Arc de Triomphe unleashed a powerful beam of lightning, striking down a giant bird.

The Red-Haired Pirates were completely baffled; they couldn't understand a thing about it.

"Don't be surprised. As long as you pass through normally, you won't be subject to automatic attacks from the defense system here."

Such an exaggerated and tight defense is astonishing.

Even the composed and deep-thinking Ben Beckman couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Isn't this a bit too much?"

Lachi Rue stared wide-eyed, mouth agape, unable to resist speaking up.

The others nodded in agreement; it was more than just exaggerated!

It's absolutely outrageous that his mother opened the door for his outrageous father! It's outrageous to the extreme!

There must never have been such a monstrous defense in the entire history of the One Piece world!

Impel Down, Enies Lobby, Mary Geoise... in terms of defensive strength and level alone, they are simply not up to par!

The Heberfeller family, who did something like this, are all perverts, a bunch of perverts!

If some kind soul came up with such a defensive system, even the strongest warriors on the high seas would have to knock some teeth out!

They leave the enemy no chance of survival, and behind the scenes, they have countless other tricks up their sleeves, leaving no one able to figure them out.

Most importantly, the Heberfeller family possessed an extraordinary and abundant martial prowess.

There's no way for any other forces to survive here!

It felt like we were from different worlds; all we could feel was shock.

Fortunately, despite the shock, the journey was very smooth and unimpeded.

Inside the office!

Charlotte and Shanks sat facing each other, while the others were told to go and rest.

"Teacher Charlotte, it's been a long time."

The voice of Shanks, the red-haired man, rang out in the quiet office.

With a husky and magnetic voice, Shanks began to showcase his unique charm.

"Indeed, time flies, and you've grown so much; it's truly amazing."

Charlotte tilted her head slightly and spoke calmly, indicating that there was no need for formalities between them.

Just say what you think.

However, when facing Charlotte, Shanks abandoned his usual unruly demeanor and appeared very humble.

"Teacher Charlotte, you flatter me. I am far inferior to you."

Shanks genuinely acknowledged Charlotte's strength, especially after this meeting, he could sense that Charlotte had become even stronger.

Its vigorous vitality is most evident, just like a blazing flame in the night.

Dazzling, magnificent...

The one in front of him is the real monster!

"You're too modest, Shanks."

Charlotte had a warm expression on her face. Shanks' talent was amazing, and the advantage of his extraordinary bloodline was also an undeniable factor.

In the world of One Piece, the advantages brought by a powerful bloodline are completely different.

The most obvious example is Monkey D. Garp and his three generations.

From naval hero Monkey D. Garp to Revolutionary Army leader Monkey D. Dragon and then to the future Pirate King Monkey D. Luffy.

This family occupies three of the top positions in the One Piece world, especially the chosen one—King Luffy, whose future is limitless.

He simply wouldn't believe it if you said there was no bloodline to protect him.

Look at the other descendants of powerful figures; they are all quite strong, such as Katakuri, Yamato, and Ace...

"Teacher, I brought the seeds you requested."

Shanks spoke, pulling Charlotte back to reality.

Charlotte wasn't surprised by his words, after all, he had already received the information, and Shanks was a man of his word.

Charlotte looked at the box containing the seeds of the Divine Tree Adam and laughed happily without making any attempt to hide it.

"You've really worked hard, Shanks."

Shanks shook his head.

"Teacher Charlotte, I will always remember your kindness, and this gift is a promise I made after losing, but it is still not enough to repay your kindness."

The profound gratitude for imparting knowledge and skills, which influences one's entire life, is difficult to explain in just a few words.

Just as he himself was deeply influenced by Captain Roger, he achieved the terrifying swordsmanship of "Divine Evasion".

However, he could no longer repay Roger's kindness, and could only carry Captain Roger's will to find someone with the same will.

Fortunately, he found it!

"Although you've changed a lot, you've maintained your original intentions as always, which is rare!"

Charlotte naturally noticed the turmoil in Shanks's mind, but that emotion was not some kind of evil thought.

He's probably thinking about something that's bothering him again.

Charlotte didn't ask any questions; instead, she examined the seed.

He finally obtained the seed he had longed for for so many years, and the continent of Hibernian was finally about to be completely unified.

The last hidden danger on the continent of Hibernian is finally about to be resolved.

Shanks looked at Charlotte, feeling an urge to speak his mind in the presence of this legend.

It's time to tell this person the secret about Captain Roger's "ONE PIECE".

He single-handedly created the powerful Kingdom of Heberfeller, the founder of the ideal land, and a world-renowned overlord.

Shanks knows Charlotte very well and is very clear about her character.

Hibernator Charlotte's legendary achievements throughout his life were truly astonishing, but more importantly, it was his behavior of showing the utmost respect for life despite being a powerful figure.

That's what makes it even more admirable.

"teacher!"

Shanks let out a soft call, attracting Charlotte's attention.

Seeing Shanks' sudden serious expression, Charlotte tilted her head. "What's wrong?"

Shanks breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I visited Mr. Rayleigh and we talked for a long time."

A visit to Rayleigh?

Charlotte was a little confused. Was there any necessary connection? And why bring it up separately?

Being as rational as he was, he immediately realized that Shanks's serious mention of Rayleigh was undoubtedly not unfounded.

The two not only reminisced about the past, but also likely revealed some remarkable secrets.

Rayleigh followed Roger to the final island, Laugh Tale, and learned all the secrets of the world.

He already had a vague guess in his mind that Shanks was going to talk about [ONE PIECE].

"Speak!"

Charlotte spoke calmly, saying that if it really was about "ONE PIECE," he had nothing to hide from her now.

The World Government and the Kingdom of Hibernate have long been enemies, and they're going to fight whether they know it or not, so it doesn't really matter.

"Teacher, what are your thoughts on ONE PIECE?"

When Shanks mentioned "ONE PIECE", Charlotte knew that his guess was correct.

As for his opinion? He shook his head, "I don't have any opinion!"

Shanks showed no surprise at Charlotte's answer, because as far as he knew, Charlotte had never been interested in the One Piece.

Considering what the other party has done, the "ONE PIECE" is actually of little use to this person.

However, the situation was very dangerous, so he had to say it to remind Charlotte to be careful.

Because the Heberfeller family's philosophy is consistent with Joy Boy's philosophy, and the things they do are largely the same.

Joy Boyle wanted to connect the entire world and create an ideal world.

These two ideas coincide, and the World Government will definitely take action against the Heberfeller family.

Shanks was quite certain.

"Mr. Rayleigh told me that the secret of the One Piece is actually about the history of the Void Century, and the D. clan..."

Charlotte didn't show much emotion, which wasn't a big secret to him.

"I believe that with your discerning eye and the preparations of the Heberfeller family, you already have a good understanding."

Shanks spoke sincerely.

Charlotte smiled and didn't say anything more. He only had a vague understanding, so there was no need for him to guess if someone could answer his questions.

Just listen to it.

Seeing this, Shanks did not hesitate and slowly began to speak for Charlotte.

After a long while, Charlotte looked thoughtful, her heart filled with shock.

Today he learned a lot of information from Shanks that he didn't know before.

First, Joy Boy possessed the blood of the giants, which is one of the reasons why the giants regarded him as the sun god.

Second, the vast kingdom established by Joy Boy was inherited from some more ancient civilization.

This civilization originated from a race on the moon, whose technological advancements enabled Joy Boy to establish a vast kingdom.

Third, the Lunaria, Shandians, and Sky Islanders are all remnants of the moon.

Fourth, Elbaf, Wano Country, Water Star Island, and Laugh Tale were originally a single continent, existing as one entity.

They were all part of the Great Kingdom, which was completely divided by war, and Laugh Tale was actually the capital of the Great Kingdom.

Fifth, the so-called "D" race consists of two wills that evolved from the Great Kingdom.

One kind of will, represented by Joy Boy, symbolizes the will for peace, freedom, and liberation, which is to be unleashed by the general public.

Another will is to conquer the world with powerful force to achieve peace, become the king of the world and control the world, and therefore be willing to make any sacrifice.

The two ideologies thus clashed.

This was also the direct cause of the disappearance of the great kingdom.

Those who inherited Joy Boy's will voluntarily added the "D" to their names to prevent this ideal from disappearing.

Sixth, Im is actually another form of the "D" will representing the concept of "King of the World". In order to achieve his goal, he launched a great war and destroyed most of the world.

To cover up his ruthless, butcher-like methods and his reputation as a traitor who colluded with external forces.

Im chose to erase history, suppress, and eliminate the "D" race.

Charlotte was naturally shocked; he hadn't expected it to be so complicated.

Joy Boy possesses giant blood, which is actually the origin of the Bakania race.

This is also why the World Government wanted to exterminate Bartholomew Kuma.

The "D" clan originated from the ideological conflict between Joy Boy and Im.

Just like Monkey D. Luffy represents Joy Boy's belief in liberation, peace, and freedom.

Conversely, Marshall D. Teach represents Im's belief in "D" as "King of the World".

It has to be said that the truth is indeed quite shocking.

Even Charlotte had to take a breath to process this explosive information.

In fact, from beginning to end, the Ideal Land project was constantly navigating the minefield of the World Government.

If the other party hadn't been so focused on the Nika Fruit, the Hibernian family would have already suffered a blow.

Thinking about it, I really have incredible luck.

However, I'm sorry to say, the roles have now reversed, so even if they discover it, it won't be of much use.

The Heberfeller family, having grown strong enough, had the resources to face any challenge.

Charlotte looked at Shanks.

"Shanks, you've really brought us a remarkable secret!"

As Shanks listened to Charlotte's words, he could tell that Charlotte only sighed, as if she had long been mentally prepared for the threat from the World Government.

This feeling is strange.

Although somewhat puzzled, Shanks did not pursue the reason, believing that it was more likely that the Heberfeller family had obtained some information while secretly studying the Poneglyphs.

This alerted Charlotte early on.

He was well aware that the Heberfeller family had historians, although they could not know all of the history of the blank century.

Knowing only a part of it is perfectly fine.

Judging from the extent of the other party's preparations, Shanks felt that his guess was pretty accurate.

The man before me truly deserves to be called a legend. Although he is not the Pirate King, he is worthy of the title.
