One Piece: Establishing a Pirate Family

After giving a brief instruction, Steelbone hung up the phone.

Wells put the Den Den Mushi into his clothes after hanging up.

"Spread out! Keep watch on the other pirates, and fire signal flares if you get any special intelligence!"

Wells looked at the thirty-odd sailors in civilian clothes in front of him and seemed to say something.

"Yes, Major General!"

After giving a salute, they dispersed and began searching for the pirates on Charlotte's ship.

Wells, on the other hand, rented a Blue from a merchant and followed Charlotte at a leisurely pace, always keeping Charlotte within his sight.

Charlotte, who was traveling around the world, naturally sensed it, but ignored it.

Killing him is easy, but even stronger ones will surely come afterward, so there's no need.

Charlotte continued to travel around Water Seven.

There was no intention to hide their identity.

Because he discovered that the people here didn't seem to recognize him, the great pirate with a bounty of nine hundred million.

Is this face blindness in the One Piece world?

However, this was for the best, as no one bothered him. Even the person monitoring him followed him from a distance and showed no intention of arresting him.

Are they waiting for reinforcements?

Charlotte didn't want to, after all, he had been following him for seven days. If there were reinforcements, they would have intercepted him in Water Seven long ago, instead of waiting until he entered Water Seven to arrest him.

Therefore, Charlotte guessed that it was simply surveillance.

That's why Charlotte let it go.

We sailed along the waterways of the City of Seven Waters.

If you see something interesting, stop and take a look; if you see something delicious, buy some.

Little did they know that their extravagant spending had already attracted attention.

A person sitting alone in Blue, spending money lavishly, is someone who has long been targeted by the bandits of Water Seven.

Charlotte could also sense the malice in the eyes of the group.

But Charlotte didn't care.

After finishing the watery meat in his hand, Charlotte went ashore.

He walked into a secluded alley, pretended to loosen his belt, and looked like he was about to urinate.

When the robbers saw this, their eyes lit up.

They greeted each other and walked into the alley.

The clanging and banging sounds continued incessantly.

Charlotte leaned against the corner of the wall, watching these people.

"Who are you! Who are you all?"

Charlotte looked at the seven or eight people with swords and knives in front of her with a panicked expression and stammered, "What do you mean?"

"Hehehehe! We are the Raphael family. If you want to live, hand over all the Baileys!"

The fat man in the lead weighed the back of his knife in his hand and looked at Xia Luo with a smile, as if he were looking at prey that had been waiting to be slaughtered.

"What! What Pele! I don't have Pele!"

Upon hearing that they were going to steal Bailey, Charlotte hurriedly clutched her purse and said in a panic.

When everyone saw Charlotte clutching her wallet, their eyes lit up.

"You won't listen to reason, so here you go! Give it to me!"

Chapter 57 Scum

A skinny man with a knife walked forward, intending to snatch Charlotte's wallet.

When Charlotte saw someone approaching, the panic she had just felt vanished instantly.

With a smirk, he snatched the long knife from the skinny man's wrist.

"Ouch!"

When Charlotte snatched the knife, she didn't hold back at all; the immense force snapped the skinny man's wrist.

"Hahahaha! You dare to rob me! You're just unlucky!"

Charlotte looked at the eight people with a smile. Oh! There were only seven people; the other one was under her feet.

"Boss, help me! Please save me!"

The skinny man named Vic yelled, but Charlotte's foot was on his chest, locking him in place like a vise, making him unable to move.

"You! Let Vic go right now!"

The fat man who was leading the group had initially seemed confident of victory, but his attitude changed suddenly.

Why did that weak boy suddenly change?

Although everything before him was somewhat beyond the fat man's imagination, it was still within his control.

Seven against one, the advantage is mine!

"Charge! Charge! Kill him!"

Seeing that Xia Luo was not listening to him, the fat man immediately began to order his men to charge at Xia Luo with their knives raised.

Seeing this, Charlotte did not dodge, but continued to smile as she looked at the group of people.

When the seven fat men rushed up to Xia Luo, they saw that he still didn't react at all, and each of them was grinning menacingly.

"Kid! You're so ungrateful!"

As he spoke, the fat man raised the long knife in his hand and stabbed it into Charlotte's stomach.

But instead of the expected sound of swords piercing flesh, it felt like swords were being stabbed into steel.

clang!

There was a sound of metal clashing.

The fat man in the lead stared in astonishment at the spot where his knife had pierced, where a layer of black substance had appeared.

This is Charlotte's Armament Haki covering her stomach.

Charlotte didn't say anything, just smiled and looked at the fat man.

"You! You! You're a Devil Fruit user!"

The fat man assumed Charlotte was a Devil Fruit user, because that was the only explanation for why he couldn't stab her.

Few people in the first half of the Grand Line know about Armament Haki, and it's clear that this person in front of him doesn't recognize it either.

Charlotte remained silent, instead smiling as she looked at the comical fat man.

When the fat man saw Xia Luo smiling at him, his initial panic was instantly replaced by anger.

"Damn it, even if you're a Devil Fruit user, it's nothing to be afraid of! Brothers, kill him!"

The fat man waved his hand, and the knife in his hand slashed down again.

The six henchmen behind him followed suit, raising their long swords and slashing at Xia Luo's body.

Charlotte smiled slightly, and the next moment...

Armament Haki covered his entire body, turning Charlotte's whole appearance into a purplish-black color.

clang!

Clang!

Dangdang Dangdang!

The sounds of chopping and hacking were incessant.

Charlotte just stood there quietly, letting them hack and slash at her.

"Huff! Huff! Huff!"

As expected of a fat man, after wielding his large knife a few times, he began to pant heavily and stopped.

The other henchmen also stopped fighting one after another after seeing their boss stop.

Everyone stared at Xia Luo in shock.

His eyes were filled with shock and panic, after all, they had attacked him!

Charlotte watched as the seven people stopped, stretched her neck slightly, and smiled at everyone.

"Now that you've all stopped, it's my turn!"

A cruel look appeared on Charlotte's smile.

Charlotte exerted a slight force on the skinny man beneath her feet.
