The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 103: Too Many Tears to Tell

On the boundless sea, the Heberfeller drifted aimlessly like a stray lamb.

Inside the cabin, Lina was reporting on the day's haul.

A whopping eight billion Berries, along with various weapons including a large number of guns and cannons, and an ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruit.

"So many?" Beta couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. This was truly a satisfying harvest.

Everyone present looked excited.

Unfortunately, a large number of weapons and equipment that could not be taken away were left behind.

What a pity! There's nothing we can do; things we can't take with us will just end up benefiting Shiki the Golden Lion.

Everyone was having a great time chatting.

However, despite such a terrifying harvest, Charlotte remained expressionless, not even touching her favorite red wine and cigarettes.

He seemed to have something on his mind.

This is very unusual.

"Hey, is Boss alright?" Pandaman Pande asked, munching on an apple and staring with his big, round eyes.

Pandaman Pander's words drew everyone's attention, and that's when they discovered Charlotte's condition.

"Boss, are you feeling unwell?" Barrett asked suspiciously. Such a happy occasion shouldn't be like this! He's probably not feeling well.

Coming to her senses, Charlotte said, "It's a bit stuffy. I'm going out for some fresh air. You guys chat." With that, she got up and walked towards the deck.

The group was left looking at each other, completely bewildered.

"Are you alright? Why does the boss seem a bit down?" Pandaman Pande put down his half-eaten apple and couldn't help but ask.

"Perhaps it's because of what happened in Marpossiri that Mr. Charlotte can't let go of it!" The young Mitis said earnestly, stroking his chin.

Based on the various intelligence gathered, the clown king was actually just a tragic and pitiful person.

The source of evil is actually the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles who possess supreme power and act with impunity.

The compassionate Mr. Charlotte must have been greatly shocked, Mitis thought, reaffirming his conviction.

Everyone nodded in agreement. They were all witnesses and understood what had happened, so they all agreed with what Mitis said.

At this moment, on the deck.

Charlotte gazed out at the sea, knowing he had acted impulsively ever since leaving Marpossili.

His bounty is going to go up!

The incident in Marpossiri couldn't be kept secret. With so many people around, a simple inquiry from his men would reveal what happened.

Even if he left behind the name of the Flying Pirates, it would only be a cover-up.

Suddenly, a messenger gull flew over the Heberfeller and immediately began to circle.

"Splash!"

A large sheet of paper fell from the sky like snowflakes.

Charlotte was a little stunned. Good grief, was this a mistake? Newspapers are free! Just start throwing them out.

Seeing this, the other crew members shouted loudly.

Hearing the commotion, the others came up to the deck.

Seeing the papers fluttering downwards, Beta and the others all used Moonwalk to leap into the air.

"Haha! It's a bounty poster, a bounty poster!"

Beta shouted loudly, waving the bounty poster he had just grabbed.

Huh! What's so exciting about this bounty? Charlotte looked at Beta's idiotic expression and couldn't understand it.

Is it necessary? And all that gesticulating and dancing around—is that a good thing?

"Boss, boss, I saw it! I saw it! I have a bounty on my head!"

Charlotte, who hadn't paid much attention before, suddenly looked up, a strong sense of unease erupting within her.

"Bring it here, let me see it."

Beta darted to Charlotte's side, and Charlotte snatched the bounty from his hand.

[Beta, a member of the Hippophele Family and the 6th Division of the Flying Pirates, has a bounty of 45 million...]

Charlotte's body jolted. How could this be? So fast!

"Boss, boss, here's your bounty poster!" Pandaman Pand said, taking out Charlotte's from a stack of bounty posters.

In an instant, Charlotte felt a surge of sadness.

With slightly trembling hands, he accepted the bounty poster handed to him by the pandaman Pander.

His gaze slowly fell on the bounty poster, and he couldn't help but tremble, his pupils dilating rapidly.

What's this?

It seems they want to confirm it again.

One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight! Nine!

Charlotte gritted her teeth, "Two hundred and thirty million Berries!"

The bloody numbers stung his eyes.

The bounty has increased, ridiculously by a whopping 50 million in one go.

His bounty has already reached over 200 million Berries.

At that moment, he seemed to see his great-grandmother, whom he had never remembered, waving to him.

"Haha, I have an 80 million bounty on Beta, you can't do that." Barrett looked at Beta with a provocative expression.

"Tch, that was a bounty you had a long time ago, what's so great about it?" Beta retorted without backing down; he absolutely could not afford to lose to Barrett.

"Tch, you're just jealous, you gorilla!"

"Bullethead, you're shameless!"

"You're jealous!"

"You're shameless!"

The two men bumped heads and argued until their faces turned red.

Even the usually quiet Mitis was somewhat surprised to see his bounty offered.

Somewhat surprisingly, "Wow, I actually have a bounty of sixteen million!"

His gaze was quickly drawn to another bounty poster, and he shouted, "Miss Lina, you also have a bounty of twenty-four million!"

Lina smiled slightly. "Oh, thanks, Mitis." She wasn't particularly interested in these things.

"Haha, I have a bounty too!" Pandaman Pand roared, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Beta darted over like a giant monkey. "Let me see."

Suddenly, a burst of unrestrained laughter rang out, making him laugh until tears streamed down his face.

"One...one thousand Berries!"

In an instant, countless people burst into laughter, except for Pandaman Pande, who looked aggrieved.

However, Charlotte was stunned, completely blocking out all external sounds; all he could feel was a buzzing in his ears.

Once he returned to normal, he looked at the group of people on the deck, laughing heartily, yet there was a hint of melancholy in their expressions.

Amidst the jubilation of the crowd, no one noticed his overwhelming sorrow.

Such immense sorrow, yet why such joyful laughter?

Sure enough, a bunch of brainless idiots.

That's a bounty, a pirate's bounty poster!

Such a dangerous thing, and you're still so heartless.

Their safety awareness is too low.

Charlotte instinctively crumpled up her bounty money and threw it into the sea.

He never wanted to see it again, and it was best if it never appeared in his sight again.

forever!

One of MMD's patrols sent him spiraling into the sky, making his heart ache.

Charlotte walked alone toward the captain's lounge, proving that human joys and sorrows are indeed not shared.

Those fools were still laughing wildly without restraint.

He lay heavily on the bed, staring at the wooden plank above his head, and sighed deeply.

From now on, I must never act impulsively or emotionally. This is a lesson learned the hard way, and it's a painful one to recount!

Despite some mental preparation, this efficiency is just too high. Is the navy doing intelligence work all the time?
