The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 286 Although you are not a good person

Amidst the ruins, on a blood-stained ground, Moria struggles tenaciously.

Charlotte was a little surprised; he had underestimated Moria. He was indeed a tenacious man.

The bleeding from this tenacious fellow's wounds had actually stopped, and he even managed to stand up slowly, albeit unsteadily.

A group of zombies appeared around us, yelling and shouting.

"Master is alright, that's great."

"Lord Moria will not lose."

"The tenacious Lord Moria will surely rise again."

Charlotte's lips twitched. What the hell were these guys?! They looked like Moria's loyal henchmen. Unbelievable.

Moria, his face stained with blood, intently scanned the group of zombies cheering him on. Suddenly, he raised his head with a burst of energy and shouted.

"This isn't some child's game. For real pirates, death isn't even a threat."

Charlotte looked at Moria, who was suddenly becoming somewhat excited, and was completely baffled. What was he doing, talking about all this in a nonsensical way?

Was it a fearless determination or a pre-existing resolve to die?

"Hehehe~ Although you have many powerful subordinates, you will lose everything if you fail in the new world."

Charlotte was clearly annoyed by Moria's words; wasn't he being cursed?

Charlotte spoke calmly, her face expressionless.

"Moria, as a loser, you have no right to lecture me."

Moria's eyes suddenly filled with bloodshot veins, and he spoke in a frantic tone.

"You'll lose everything, do you know why?"

Charlotte was slightly taken aback; he sensed a mixture of anger and pain emanating from Moria.

"I found the answer in my own experience. Why did I lose my companion? Because as long as you live, you will lose your companion."

The deafening sound, the crazed and ferocious expression—he looked utterly terrifying. At this moment, Moria was like a horrifying madman.

"If you're a zombie from the start, there's nothing to lose. Zombies are immortal, and even if you lose them, they're endless soldiers that can be used repeatedly..."

Charlotte quietly watched Moria, whose appearance was now incredibly ferocious, but his Observation Haki sensed the intense sorrow that Moria felt as he spoke those words.

He used his hoarse roar to mask his true sorrow.

His subordinates were almost all killed or wounded in the battle against Kaido, which may be the main reason why he completely lost his spirit later!

Charlotte seemed to truly understand the guy in front of her, and spoke calmly.

"Moria...you may not be a good person...but you are a good captain."

As soon as he finished speaking, Moria's ferocious expression froze, and he looked at Charlotte with surprise.

"You..."

"...I'm not, I'm not."

Moria suddenly went mad, muttering something incessantly. It sounded more like self-blame, and the futile blaming seemed like some kind of unspeakable sorrow.

Charlotte sighed inwardly, wondering what he would do if one day all his companions were killed or wounded. For a moment, he was at a loss for what to do.

Silently sheathing his longsword, Charlotte spoke calmly, "Moria has returned the remains of the Hippefeller family members, and this matter ends here."

"You should know very well what companions truly mean."

The two men, who had fought to the death, now stared at each other.

Moria looked at Charlotte, as if the other knew his deepest thoughts, a strange feeling.

For the first time, he felt this way. Since his subordinates were wiped out, he had been in immense torment and somewhat disheartened. How cruel it was that his comrades who had accompanied him in his battles had turned into cold corpses.

Today, the person in front of him suddenly sensed his inner thoughts, and he felt inexplicably flustered.

Charlotte changed her mind about killing this guy for two reasons. One reason might be that the two had some similarities. Another reason was that even if she killed him, she wouldn't gain anything, and she wouldn't get the Devil Fruit.

Let's keep this guy around and put more pressure on the Navy!

Charlotte is quite willing to do things that can give the Navy a headache, and there might even be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

The two sides are not mortal enemies, but this world is ultimately about interests.

Charlotte and the others left with the remains of all the Heberfeller family members and did not linger there.

"Boss, why? Why don't we take that guy out?"

Beta asked, completely baffled.

"Sometimes, staying alive is more beneficial to us than anything else."

Faced with Charlotte's answer, Beta scratched his head. This kind of thing was too profound and not suitable for him to think about at all.

However, what really annoyed Charlotte was the appearance of an outsider, who was quite annoying.

"Lord Charlotte, please return the national treasure of Wano Country."

Torakamaru looked at the black sword Shusui at Charlotte's waist with a serious expression and an extremely devout attitude.

Charlotte looked at this guy as if he were an idiot; there was no reason for him to return his spoils.

Absolutely impossible, don't even think about it.

"Kid, I don't care what your reasons are, my spoils are yours unless you defeat me."

Faced with Charlotte's firm stance, Torakamaru's expression changed.

"Lord Charlotte, you are the world's greatest swordsman!"

Charlotte was speechless. Was this guy so stubborn? Couldn't he understand that he wouldn't return it?

To be honest, he really regretted helping this guy get the shadow back from Moria.

Especially since he helped me after being persuaded by Beta.

"Hey kid, what's with all this ingrained gratitude, always eyeing other people's spoils?"

Charlotte looked displeased. He had fought and stolen it, not picked it up off the street.

An enraged Charlotte slapped Beta across the neck.

"Damn it, you caused this trouble, you're the one who has to clean it up."

After saying that, he turned and left. He was just causing trouble for him every day. Torakamaru could only watch Charlotte leave with a bitter expression.

It was impossible to snatch Qiu Shui from Xia Luo, especially since she was his benefactor.

Beta looked aggrieved, then glared angrily at Torakamaru, "You bastard, I'll beat you to death."

The sounds of fighting erupted on the deck, and moments later, Torakamaru was bruised and battered, wallowing in self-pity.

……

……

Lati Island!

The matter was resolved smoothly, and they even managed to collect a large number of swords that Moria had taken from Wano Country, which was quite a good haul.

At the very least, the forging techniques used in these weapons are quite good.

However, the samurai from Wano Country was so annoying that Charlotte drove him away.

He didn't want to listen to that rubbish about symbols of the Wano Country samurai spirit.

What does the samurai's spirit have to do with Charlotte?

You have no chance of getting his spoils. Get lost.
