The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 97 This is intolerable!

In the darkness!

"boom!"

A deafening roar erupted, and flames shot into the sky, illuminating the horizon and piercing the quiet of the night.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

The captain of the Night Kingdom patrol kept asking questions in a panic.

"Report! There's been a massive explosion at the port!"

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, the patrol captain's expression changed drastically. "Damn it, sound the alarm! Get backup!"

He then hurriedly headed towards the scene of the incident.

The piercing alarm blared through the night.

A large number of patrol members rushed to the port where the explosion occurred to provide support.

"Lina succeeded!"

Charlotte stared intently as several patrol teams rushed out of the castle and headed towards the port.

"Boss, I think this is unnecessary. We can just charge in and kill anyone who gets in our way. What's the point?"

Beta said casually.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! I think all you can think of is killing."

Seeing Charlotte's furious expression, Beta looked completely innocent. "Boss, I still like to eat!"

???

Charlotte felt offended and awkwardly uttered a retort.

"I'll eat you to death."

Charlotte remained expressionless, no longer looking at Beta; he was genuinely afraid of this guy.

Beta held his head high; eating to death was his lifelong dream! The boss really understands me.

Charlotte looked at Beta, who seemed rather happy, and was filled with questions. Was this a compliment?

What kind of brain circuit is this?

After looking at it, Charlotte sighed helplessly. What was he arguing about with a guy who seemed to have a problem with his brain capacity?

You can't judge it by common sense!

Charlotte looked toward the castle, trying to stop thinking about Beta.

He didn't want to start a formal war right now; his only goal was to confirm whether it was that family.

After all, it's highly likely that he was arrested because of him.

Conflict should be avoided if possible.

Not only is it unsafe, but if you accidentally take down this place, the bounty could easily increase!

The number of castle guards has been greatly reduced, and he can now move around.

Using Moonwalk to travel through the air, looking down at the ground from high above, he quickly located the factory.

As they drew closer, the faint red light in the night became quite glaring.

The sheer number of factories connected together speaks volumes about their astonishing output.

Those rows of chimneys were quite conspicuous; unless viewed from above, the towering city wall would completely block the view from the outside.

Thick black smoke billowed into the sky and disappeared into the darkness, making the place even darker.

No wonder they work at night; it makes it easier to hide.

Patrol teams frequently pass by the streets throughout the factory, keeping a close watch on the area.

In front of a row of scattered wooden houses, a group of ragged children squatted together.

One of the children was the little girl Charlotte had seen during the day.

Her clothes were relatively new, making her stand out starkly among the group of ragged children.

However, its curled-up body was trembling.

A fierce-looking patrolman brandished his whip and lashed it hard onto the ground.

The sound of the slapping noise frightened the little girl, making her tremble and sob softly.

The patrolling guard's expression hardened, his eyes flashing with cold light. "What are you crying for? I'll beat you to death if you cry again!"

The loud shouts terrified the little girl, causing her to burst into uncontrollable sobs, crying, "Daddy, Mommy..."

The patrolling guards became somewhat irritable, their eyes growing increasingly fierce. It wasn't that there weren't any crying children; they would eventually calm down after being whipped enough.

"You want to die!"

With a roar, the whip gleamed coldly and lashed mercilessly at the little girl's frail body.

The other children instinctively covered their heads, but the little girl didn't have time to react and hurriedly closed her eyes in fear.

"Who are you?"

The patrol guards looked in horror at the man who had appeared before them in the blink of an eye, gripping the whip tightly.

The visitor was Charlotte, who originally intended to secretly take the little girl and her family away.

But since it happened so suddenly, he couldn't just stand by and watch the little girl get a beating.

His chilling gaze fell upon the other, a fierce killing intent bursting forth mixed with a hint of domineering aura.

The guard was filled with terror. He rolled his eyes, his body went limp, and he fainted.

The little girl opened her eyes and saw Charlotte, then she saw the vicious guard lying on the ground.

"Big...brother!"

Charlotte smiled slightly, "Hello there, little girl."

The little girl quickly thanked him and pleaded, "Big brother, please save my mom and dad!"

"Yes, it's my fault, it's all Eliza's fault."

The little girl cried and pleaded, her words filled with self-reproach.

Charlotte comforted her, "It's not your fault, it's okay."

"Really...? But I broke the kingdom's rules and laughed out loud, which is why Mom and Dad were caught and brought here."

Charlotte was stunned for a moment. What ban? It was probably just something he had done because of him, and they gave a lame excuse.

Then he smiled, "See, I smiled too!"

"Laughing is not wrong, is it?"

The little girl's tears finally stopped, and she looked at Charlotte with a hesitant expression.

"Really?"

Charlotte nodded slightly, then bent down and patted the little girl's slightly dirty forehead.

"Of course!"

At this moment, he had no intention of escaping.

Because he knew things wouldn't end well tonight, the situation here was simultaneously captured by a surveillance Den Den Mushi.

The castle alarms must have sounded at the same time.

A large group of patrol guards rushed towards this place.

As soon as Charlotte stood up, a large group of people swarmed around her from all directions.

"Boss, someone's here."

Beta reminded him in time.

Charlotte remained silent. His Observation Haki had already detected it. The reason he didn't run away was because there was no need to.

This is their territory; he can't escape. He also believes that, given the enemy's methods, the entire island is under their surveillance.

"Um, Beta, protect the children, don't let them get hurt."

"Alright, don't worry, you can rest assured that I, Beta, will handle things with complete confidence!"

Charlotte had no doubts about Beta's assurances. He knew that even though Beta was unreliable in general, he always carried out his promises meticulously.

Eliza looked at the menacing guards with some fear. "Big brother, you'd better run, you'll die!"

Beta laughed heartily, "What a kind child! Don't worry, little girl, those guys are no match for you."

Eliza was somewhat timid in front of Beta, but since he came with his older brother, he didn't seem like a bad person.

"real!"

"Of course, it's real, even more real than gold!" Beta grinned, showing his white teeth, and said casually.

Eliza looked at Charlotte, a glimmer of hope rising in her eyes; perhaps it really could be true.

"The Flying Pirates are quite arrogant, daring to trespass into forbidden territory." The newcomer, dressed in a blue suit and holding a silver revolver, questioned him in an unfriendly tone.

Charlotte's expression changed slightly. He hated it when outsiders called him a pirate, especially the term "flying pirate crew".

Because the Flying Pirates' Golden Lion had disrupted his peaceful life, the other party was using this word to provoke him.

This is intolerable!
