One Piece: Establishing a Pirate Family

"Once Esdeath returns, she must be grounded! Don't side with her this time; you've spoiled her rotten!"

Charlotte glared at Jenny.

Jenny just lowered her head and sobbed.

This left Charlotte feeling helpless.

All we can do is offer kind words of comfort.

……

Meanwhile, on another battlefield.

Barrett hung up the phone.

There were severed limbs everywhere.

All the Rockefeller Pirates gathered together.

Not a single enemy soldier stood up in the vicinity.

"The young lady is already fighting them; we must go and provide support as soon as possible!"

Carter, who had been following Charlotte, stepped forward and spoke.

"Yes! We must provide support to the young lady as soon as possible, otherwise we cannot afford any consequences if anything happens to her!"

The people around them echoed their sentiments.

Barrett nodded in agreement.

"Assemble all warships to support the young lady!"

Barrett gave the order.

On the battlefield, Esdeath, panting heavily, stared intently at the general before her.

"Child! You have done very well! Such swordsmanship at such a young age. If you were a little older, I might not be your match. You truly deserve to be the daughter of the world's greatest swordsman!"

The general looked at the little girl in front of him, who didn't even reach his chest, and said.

"Damn it! I am who I am! What does this have to do with my dad!"

Esdeath roared once more, raising her rapier and thrusting it at the general.

The lightning-fast movement caught the general off guard.

Tick ​​tock!

Tick ​​tock!

Esdeath's sword tip was dripping blood, and her opponent had a cut on his arm.

But the general made no comment, only glancing at the wound and then looking around.

The surrounding circumstances were very unfavorable to them.

While they were entangled with Esdeath, the large-scale battle in front had ended, and the pirate ships were once again surrounding them.

Meanwhile, fighting raged all around, with people dying constantly—from the Eight-Nation Alliance to pirates.

The nobles, upon seeing the pirates arrive, all hid inside the ship's cabins, too afraid to come out.

The battle has been lost!

Bang!

The general threw down his greatsword.

"I surrender!"

There's absolutely no hope. Even if I kill this little girl, he'll still die! I might as well surrender!

"Bastard! You coward! Is this how you treat your sword? Pick up your sword, let's continue the fight, and defend your honor as a general!"

Esdeath was enraged to see that the general, with whom she had fought to a standstill, had lost his weapon.

"I can no longer see any hope in this battle! Your men have arrived!"

The general looked down at Esdeath and said.

Esdeath turned around and glanced behind her after hearing this.

At this moment, Rockefeller's pirate ships were closing in on them.

"How can it be repaired?"

Esdeath cursed under her breath, then stopped looking at the general.

"Everyone, lay down your weapons! Do not resist!"

The general gave his final orders and then stood motionless to the side.

Bang!

Upon hearing this, the soldiers who were fighting the pirates looked around and immediately lowered their weapons.

Just kidding! Who would actually die for the king!

They're just lowly soldiers who get paid.

Seeing that these people had laid down their weapons, the pirates who had charged with Esdeath all breathed a sigh of relief.

bump!

The ship is approaching!

Esdeath, covered in blood, stood at the bow of the ship, looking at the newcomers.

"Miss!"

The moment they saw Esdeath again, everyone shouted.

He then stared in disbelief at Esdeath and the battle that had ended behind her.

"This place is now under my control! Only these surrendered people remain. What are your plans for them?"

Esdeath straightened her back, trying her best not to appear tired.

Barrett, Carter, Paul, and Isaac glanced at the group of soldiers behind Esdeath.

It wasn't that no one surrendered before, but they were all killed and thrown into the sea to feed the fish in order to save trouble.

But how could I do such a thing in front of Lady Esdeath?

"Young Miss! Do you have any objections?"

Carter glanced at the soldiers around him and asked in return.

"Ask for my opinion? Then let's take them all back and use them to develop our Cammy Island! Uncle Wolf has been saying that the labor camps are short-handed, hasn't he? These are all there!"

Esdeath pointed to the sixty or seventy prisoners behind her and said.

"Young Miss is wise!"

After hearing Esdeath's words, everyone felt that they made a lot of sense and echoed her sentiments.

"Whee!"

Hearing so many people praising her, Esdeath smiled smugly.

"Young Miss! The captain already knows you snuck out and has ordered us to send you back. You are not allowed to participate in the upcoming battle!"

Barrett stepped forward and placed a hand on Esdeath's shoulder, restraining her.

"Huh? Dad already knows! Who leaked it?"

Esdeath became furious the moment she heard her father wanted her to go back, and looked at Carter, Wolf, Paul, Isaac and the others.

As a result, these people all turned their gaze away from Esdeath's eyes.

"No! I can't leave! The battle isn't over, we haven't conquered their kingdom yet, how can it end? I absolutely disagree!"

Esdeath began to rebel.

But all her resistance was in vain! With Barrett holding her firmly on her shoulder with one hand, Esdeath's every move was futile.

Even Esdeath's use of her Devil Fruit powers was useless.

"Take her back and hand her over to the captain!"

Barrett handed Esdeath over to Paul, he said.

"Yeah! Leave it to me!"

Paul smiled, took Esdeath from Barrett, and winked at her.

Everyone was laughing at Esdeath.

"Humph!"

Esdeath crossed her arms, pouted unhappily, and didn't look at Paul.

Paul didn't care. He had watched Esdeath grow up, and he had even taught her swordsmanship for a period of time.

“Let’s continue the attack! The leader of that alliance is the Kingdom of Rommel, so let’s start with them.”
