The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 529 Don't underestimate the old era!

The year 1520 of the Haiyuan calendar!

New stars are emerging on the seas one after another, and new pirates are appearing in this era in droves, so many that it's hard to keep up.

One of the most famous among them is naturally Wang Lufei.

There were a bunch of reports about the other party on the desktop.

Unbelievable! Rookie Straw Hat Luffy defeats Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea...

[Shocking! Yet another veteran powerhouse, Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, has been defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates, following in his footsteps...]

[Extremely vicious! The Straw Hat Pirates wreak havoc on Enies Lobby...]

【…】

Charlotte's expression was calm, though she seemed somewhat sentimental.

He didn't expect that Crocodile would still be defeated by Straw Hat Luffy.

The other party did not gain any inspiration from that meeting, nor did they learn the final location of Hades, and they did not take any action for a long time.

Charlotte was somewhat disappointed. Of course, this time it was probably the other side who would finally realize they had been defeated by a newcomer, which was rather tragic.

What surprised him most was that many things that should have changed seemed to continue to happen as before, such as the Enies Lobby incident!

There really is an extremely strong sense of destiny.

The world is becoming increasingly chaotic and exciting.

The old party, which once dominated the world, is now undergoing a baptism of the new era.

Charlotte was slightly surprised, but he didn't pay much attention to Luffy, the Straw Hat Boy.

They didn't have much interaction with each other, and each had their own ideals to pursue.

What he cares about now is what will become of the Whitebeard Pirates.

What is the current state of the conflict between Fire Fist Ace and Blackbeard Teach?

It's important to know that after Teach killed his own crew and defected, Fire Fist Ace relentlessly pursued him.

The two had been chasing each other for almost half a year, and Charlotte knew very well that Blackbeard Teach was not fully prepared.

It would be more accurate to say that the other party is waiting to fully adapt to the Logia-type Dark-Dark Fruit.

During this process, that guy assembled an initial team.

These include sniper Van Oka, "Champion" Gisas Burgess, and ship's doctor "Death" Doc Q.

It's not hard to see that Blackbeard is very purposeful; these guys are all quite good.

"Squeak!"

Just then, Lina pushed open his door and walked in.

"Charlotte, something's happened!"

Upon hearing this, Charlotte's eyes flickered slightly. "Speak!"

"Blackbeard, while chasing Straw Hat Puppy, unexpectedly encountered Fire Fist Ace on Banaro Island, leading to a conflict. Fire Fist Ace has now been defeated and captured alive by Blackbeard."

Lina spoke very quickly, judging from Charlotte's high regard for Blackbeard.

She took this very seriously, and as soon as she received the information from Qiqiya, she immediately came to report it to Charlotte.

After a moment of silence, Charlotte spoke.

"Prepare the boats to set sail!"

Lina looked at Charlotte with slight surprise; she hadn't expected Charlotte to go out to sea herself.

However, Lina quickly realized what was happening and replied, "Understood, I'll go prepare right away."

With Lina gone, the room was empty. Charlotte needed to go and see that old man with the white beard back then; it was time for a calm and proper talk.

However, Charlotte also knew very well that the chances were slim!

If the other party had actually listened, then joining forces with the Heberfeller family could have completely avoided the subsequent problems.

He will likely return empty-handed this time as well, and Charlotte is helpless about it.

Whitebeard Newgate, a true king of the seas, a legendary pirate, could not force his opponent.

Such strong individuals possess their own pride and decisions, which are not easily swayed.

Just as he had initially met Redfield, he realized that Redfield's involvement was a combination of luck and subtle psychological manipulation.

Former Navy Admiral Zephyr and Charlotte expended considerable effort, ultimately succeeding only through a purely psychological strategy.

He knew all too well how difficult it was for these legendary figures to change their beliefs.

True strength comes with pride and perseverance; without such awareness, one cannot become a legend of the ocean.

……

……

Ten days later!

Sphinx Island!

Today, the Whitebeard Pirates' base, also the island that is Whitebeard Newgate's hometown, is more beautiful and prosperous than ever before.

It is evident that the area has undergone tremendous changes compared to its former barrenness.

This is the enormous benefit of win-win cooperation.

At Sphinx Harbor, a ship flying the Heberfeller family flag appeared.

Its unique golden dragon head clearly indicates this person's identity...

The flagship of Hibernian Charlotte—the Hibernian Longteng.

The Hibernating Longtan, which has not appeared in public for many years.

Its departure naturally attracted great attention from the outside world, because this ship was none other than the legendary Heberfeller Charlotte!

However, Charlotte didn't care about this.

Before he even landed on the island, the Whitebeard Pirates, whose presence had already been alerted, were waiting in the port.

"Brother Charlotte!"

Marco, the Phoenix with the Pineapple Head, spoke respectfully.

"I didn't expect to see you again so soon after we met."

Charlotte spoke in a gentle and warm tone, casually glancing at the crowd opposite him.

Diamond Joz, foil Vista, and many other young people he had never met before.

"Time really flies," Charlotte sighed.

"Brother Xia Luo, please come with me, Dad is waiting for you!"

Marco spoke solemnly, his expression grave and worried from the very beginning.

It's clear that the Blackbeard and Ace incident is quite complicated.

As the white-bearded ship's doctor, Marco knew the other man's physical condition best.

Charlotte nodded without hesitation, "Let's go!"

Marco immediately led the way, and Charlotte followed him out of the port and headed towards the town.

And you know what? It's quite beautiful here now, Charlotte nodded to herself.

Although the other party received support and assistance from the Heberfeller family, it is undeniable that there are still quite a few capable leaders within the Whitebeard Pirates.

Just like Marco, who was leading the way for him.

A moment later...

Edward Newgate, with his white beard, leaned back in a huge seat, making him quite conspicuous at first glance.

Of course, the conspicuous IV drip hanging from that strong body was equally eye-catching.

It is evident that Whitebeard's current physical condition is not very optimistic.

"Gurarara! Charlotte, you little devil, it's been a long time!"

The hearty white-bearded man laughed heartily, even though the word "brat" was really unpleasant.

However, he already knew that was the other person's personality, so he didn't take it to heart.

The man in front of me possesses admirable qualities and is considered a rare good person among pirates.

"Whitebeard, you've aged a lot."

Charlotte's voice carried an indescribable emotion.

He was genuinely lamenting that the man who was once as strong as a Tyrannosaurus Rex was now like an old, frail dragon.

"Kid, birth, aging, sickness, and death are normal."

Whitebeard had experienced a lot and had long since become indifferent to his own life and death, accepting this kind of life with equanimity.

"Well... I'm sorry!"

As Charlotte finished speaking, the shrewd old man with the white beard could naturally sense the pity in Charlotte's tone...

This made him very dissatisfied.

"Hey kid, get to the point!"

Seeing the other person's reaction, Xia Luo shook his head and smiled bitterly. What was he doing?

For powerful people like them, sympathy or pity is truly ironic.

"The Hibernator family can offer assistance!"

Charlotte stated his suggestion directly, and it was obvious that many of the newcomers looked displeased.

They considered Blackbeard's betrayal an act of overestimating his own abilities, and believed that such a thing must come at a price in order to uphold the reputation of the Whitebeard Pirates.

He was very unhappy with what Xia Luo said, as it reflected his doubt about his father's strength.

Sensing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, the white-bearded man frowned slightly.

"Kid, this is our family matter, it's none of our business."

Charlotte frowned slightly and spoke calmly.

"Acting unilaterally is not a rational behavior!"

"Gurararara, kid... you're too arrogant."

As the white-bearded man's tone shifted, a surge of Conqueror's Haki erupted from him. Charlotte, in turn, unleashed her own Conqueror's Haki.

The collision of the two forces was fleeting, yet it seemed to have the power to tear the heavens and earth apart. The awe-inspiring divine might was like being on the edge of an abyss, and the surrounding area was utterly silent.

The strongest warriors at the peak of the ocean possess such an astonishing aura that can swallow mountains and rivers.

After a few dozen seconds of silence, Charlotte looked at the other person's weak body that was barely holding on.

"Whitebeard, you'll die!"

Upon hearing this, everyone glared at Xia Luo with hostility, but he didn't care what others thought.

"Gurara, kid, don't underestimate the old days!"

Whitebeard was as heroic as ever, and the eyes of the many members became fervent and excited.

The powerful white-bearded father, as imposing and domineering as ever.

Seeing the other person's resolute attitude, Charlotte said no more and turned to leave.

He knew he couldn't stop it, and the worst outcome still came eventually.
