The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 31 Cooperation?

Ivan walked into the office.

Charlotte looked at Yi with some confusion, "What's wrong?"

Ivan looked rather grim and said, "Boss, someone's here."

Forehead???

Someone's here?

What's going on? Does she have to look so upset?

"Who is it?"

Ivan looked at Charlotte solemnly and said, "The officers of the Wang Zhi Pirates have arrived."

Charlotte's expression changed slightly in an instant. Good heavens, really good heavens, the matter of the [QG] drug has finally been suspected by the other party.

But Charlotte quickly calmed down. Now he was under the command of Shiki the Golden Lion, so there was no need to provoke him.

And they have no evidence, do they?

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated, cleared his throat, and said, "Go, have them come over."

"Okay, boss."

Charlotte sighed softly, "A time of great turmoil, a time of great turmoil indeed!"

He never lets anyone have a moment's peace, that damned Golden Lion Shiki.

If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be in such a passive position now, forced to make my presence known and forcibly appear on the lists of other forces.

Fame is a poison that harms people, something he desperately wants to avoid, but fate always loves to play tricks on people.

Charlotte couldn't help but rub her throbbing temples.

Shortly after, a bald man followed Ivan into his office.

"Captain Charlotte, I am Yepi, a member of the Wang Zhi Pirates." The bald man said with a smile.

Yepi? That name doesn't sound very respectable.

"What brings you here? I don't recall us having any connection."

Charlotte cut to the chase.

The bald man, Yepi, smiled faintly. "Captain Charlotte, I'm here on behalf of my captain to discuss cooperation with you."

Charlotte asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Cooperation? You should talk to Captain Skeeter! I don't know what we could possibly cooperate on."

Jaeger shook his head and said softly.

"I've investigated Captain Charlotte; as far as we know, you joined the Flying Pirates out of necessity!"

Charlotte's expression changed slightly. Investigate him? What kind of rubbish is this?

Although this was inevitable from the moment he appeared under Shiki the Golden Lion's command.

But the way this guy said it so openly was a threat to him.

"Oh, are you threatening me?"

Charlotte straightened up, appearing somewhat nonchalant on the surface, but inwardly becoming increasingly wary, her tone turning unfriendly.

Yepi felt a chill run down his spine. He knew very well that someone who could gain the favor of Shiki the Golden Lion must be incredibly powerful.

"Captain Charlotte, please don't misunderstand. This is just to get to know you better so that we can achieve better cooperation."

Charlotte wasn't happy at all at Yepi's surrender; this guy must have been fully prepared!

It would be strange if they felt embarrassed to go through all this trouble. Charlotte really wanted to see what the other party was up to.

"Tell me! What kind of cooperation?"

Yepi smiled faintly, "Actually, we want to set up a transit point here."

Charlotte was clearly somewhat surprised; this collaboration was truly beyond his expectations.

Charlotte looked at the other person with a suspicious expression, trying to find some flaws, but he was disappointed and couldn't see through him at all.

Charlotte cut to the chase, "A transit point? Don't you guys have your own channels? Don't be ridiculous."

Charlotte became increasingly certain that this guy had ill intentions. She wondered what his plans were really, just for a small transit point?

It should be understood that any power with a fixed territory has its own special channels, so why go to such lengths for a small transit station?

"To be honest, our pirate crew has suffered a lot of suppression, which is a choice we had no other choice but to make."

Charlotte didn't believe a word Yepi said, even though Wang Zhi's strength couldn't compare to the top-tier experts.

But he was still a formidable pirate, and the difference in their status wouldn't be too great, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to occupy Beehive Island for so long.

It's all nonsense.

Yepi seemed to have seen through Charlotte's thoughts and continued, "It seems Captain Charlotte doesn't believe it."

"I really don't believe it; I'm afraid they have ulterior motives!"

Charlotte replied without hesitation.

Yepi said helplessly, "Captain Charlotte, whether you believe it or not, it's true that we're not in a good situation. I came here with sincerity."

Charlotte felt a chill run down her spine, and a disdainful sneer rose in her heart.

If it weren't for the fact that Wang Zhi was only defeated and driven out of Beehive Island by Blackbeard in his old age in the future...

He might have believed it.

So the other party didn't tell him the truth at all, let alone show any sincerity. What a joke!

Charlotte tapped her fingers lightly on the table, as if she were truly contemplating the gains and losses.

Yepi could only wait quietly.

"I cannot agree to your cooperation; the consequences for Captain Skeeter would be dire!"

Charlotte refused decisively.

This group of powerful pirates is not easy to get along with.

Moreover, he didn't want to get entangled with the great pirates any further, as such an eye-catching thing could easily attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

Especially the navy.

He didn't want to fall into a trap for no reason.

Even with a lot of money, there's no peace of mind!

Besides, since Shiki betrayed him, it's not unreasonable for him to use him as a shield!

Yepi's face stiffened, then he slowly said, "Does Captain Charlotte wish to live under someone else's roof? You must know that it is not easy to have such strength at such a young age! The sea cannot hide your brilliance."

Charlotte's face turned cold. Is this even human language?

Hoping to become famous is really something.

"I cannot agree to that unless Captain Skeeter agrees. You may leave!"

Charlotte immediately gave him the order to leave. No matter what the other person's intentions were, he didn't want to have any further contact with this guy.

Chun Chun is here to upset him.

Yepi opened his mouth, but said nothing more, and could only shake his head helplessly, "Captain Charlotte, then it's a pity."

"Please, Mr. Yepp."

Ivan stepped forward and politely gestured for him to leave.

Yepi didn't linger. Before leaving, he said loudly, "If Captain Charlotte changes her mind, she can contact us directly. Perhaps there will be other collaborations."

Then he left without looking back.

Charlotte narrowed her eyes slightly, certain that this guy had ulterior motives! He had been trying to incite her with words.

Moreover, the other collaborations are probably implied!

Ivan returned shortly afterward.

"Boss, the guy's gone."

Charlotte looked at Ivan, "What do you think their purpose is?"

Ivan shook his head and then said, "It's very likely a test to determine whether we've obtained the [QG] drug."

Charlotte nodded without saying anything more.

There is no doubt about this; Wang Zhi has already begun to have doubts.

Fortunately, the operation was conducted discreetly, with strict security measures in place, and the Heberfeller family was an unbreakable alliance, leaving the other side with no way to make a move.

As for whether the other party had other motives, Charlotte had no way of knowing; there were too few clues.

"call!"

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief; dealing with pirates was indeed exhausting.

"Ivan, be vigilant, especially regarding the protection of the laboratory; it must be kept secret."

"Don't worry, boss."

He never doubted Ivan's abilities, but deep down there was always a faint sense of unease.

For some reason, he felt that something was wrong, and an indescribable feeling lingered in his mind.

"Ivan, go and investigate the Wang Zhi Pirates."

"Understood, boss." Ivan immediately accepted the order.
