The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 32 Countermeasures

"Sir, the plan has failed!"

Yepi spoke calmly into the Den Den Mushi.

"In that case, let's proceed with the second plan!"

The voice on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was a little hoarse.

As soon as the words were spoken, there was no more sound on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, and the Den Den Mushi quickly became listless.

Yepi revealed a strange smile.

……

Charlotte leaned back on the soft sofa, holding a newspaper in one hand and a glass of red wine in the other.

This is his daily work now.

He needs to keep track of some major events happening in the world in order to avoid some risks, after all, he is now an unsafe pirate.

If something really goes wrong, he'll be in serious trouble.

Charlotte felt a sense of grief and indignation whenever she thought about this, especially the image of that guy who was always yelling "Hahaha" and deserved to be cut into pieces.

I really want to slap him...

With a loud "bang!", his door was violently smashed open.

Charlotte glared at the other person with uncontrollable rage.

"Beta..."

However, Beta, contrary to his usual self, looked anxious and quickly spoke up.

"Boss, something's happened!"

Charlotte's expression tightened.

problem occurs?

Can we please not use such a terrifying word with him?

But seeing Beta's anxious look, Charlotte felt a sudden jolt in her heart and her eyelids twitched.

He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that ever since he joined Shiki the Golden Lion's team, he had never left the house.

No trouble was caused!

Completely baffled, Charlotte quickly asked.

"Don't panic, what happened?"

Beta quickly pulled out a letter. "Boss, look."

Although Charlotte was puzzled, she immediately took the letter and began to read its contents.

【Hello, Mr. Charlotte, I'm sorry to invite you in this way. Your man is in our hands. If you want to bring him back safely, come here...】

A whole bunch of stuff, with a nearby nautical chart attached below.

Charlotte's face was extremely gloomy. The incident happened so suddenly. Who exactly was this person who was after him?

His gaze quickly turned icy cold, and he realized that the only person he had ever antagonized was the Wang Zhi Pirates.

"When did this happen?"

"This morning."

Charlotte was furious. "Fine! Fine! What a Wang Zhi! What a Wang Zhi Pirates!"

"Prepare a smaller boat and set sail."

Charlotte made a decision immediately: he had to leave discreetly; this was not a matter to be made public.

"Yes, boss."

Beta quickly ran out.

Soon a small boat with a crew of more than a dozen people was ready in the port.

"Set off!"

Charlotte wasted no time; the crew, having obtained the chart, vigorously pulled the sails and headed towards their destination.

On the high seas, the small boat cuts through the waves and moves swiftly forward, with Charlotte standing at the bow without saying a word.

This time, he underestimated the pirates' treacherous methods.

I never expected that pirates, who always seem like a rabble, would have such a plan.

Soon a desolate island came into view.

It is small in size and very close to Lati Island. Because it is so desolate and unsuitable for human habitation, no one cares about it.

There are countless islands like this in the world of One Piece.

Before the ship had even fully docked, Charlotte activated Moonwalk and headed towards the center of the deserted island.

The Observation Haki accurately locked onto the enemy's location.

Charlotte fell from the sky and landed on the ground.

"As expected of Captain Charlotte, you arrived incredibly quickly!"

The speaker was Yepi, the bald man I had met not long ago.

"Yeppi, what do you mean by this? Are you really trying to start a war?"

Yepi shook his head. "No, I was just doing my job, that's all."

Charlotte said calmly, "You need to complete your mission. I need to see my people."

If he hadn't missed Ivan, he would have gone over there long ago and beaten the bastard to a pulp.

"No problem, then we need to discuss the cooperation properly."

Yepi spoke casually with a smile on his face.

"Do you think I wouldn't have ways to make you talk once I catch you?"

Yepi nodded seriously. "I believe Captain Charlotte has the means to do so."

"But if I get caught, that guy will definitely be dead too. Don't even think about killing me."

Charlotte was hesitant to act rashly, especially given Yepi's nonchalant demeanor; he was genuinely worried that the other party might have some tricks up his sleeve.

Ultimately, the world of One Piece is full of amazing Devil Fruits, so doing something like this isn't difficult.

"What kind of cooperation is worth all this effort?"

In response to Charlotte's question, Yepi said calmly, "We need control of Lati Island, and your and your men's loyalty."

Huh? What do you mean?

Charlotte was taken aback; he hadn't expected the other person to have such a big appetite.

Charlotte quickly laughed, "I'm a pirate, aren't you afraid I won't keep my promise?"

Yepi said calmly, "Captain Charlotte, rest assured. Since this request has been made, we naturally have ways to control it."

Charlotte was somewhat surprised by what the other person was saying.

It looks like it might be the power of a very special Devil Fruit or some unknown method!

"So, what do you think, Captain Charlotte?"

How so? What a load of crap! As expected, that bald guy never has anything good to say; he's a filthy, rotten dog.

However, Charlotte was not in a hurry and said slowly.

"Cooperation should look like cooperation. I need to make sure my people are safe, otherwise there's no point in talking."

Yepi believed that Charlotte's request was perfectly reasonable.

Although he couldn't ascertain Charlotte's exact strength, based on the intelligence, he was certain that Charlotte was a young swordsman.

"What? Scared? Is that all the guts you have?"

Charlotte's words, though calm, made Yepi's expression turn somewhat unpleasant.

However, Jaeger remained silent, looking at Charlotte with genuine uncertainty.

The swordsman carries great weight.

Charlotte was not in a hurry and waited quietly, her heart filled with anxious anticipation.

Meanwhile, Beta and Barrett continued to search the surrounding sea area using lunar walk.

They had already discussed their strategy before arriving: Charlotte would stall the enemy while the two searched in secret.

Based on the letter he received, he initially judged that Ivan would not be taken far and that there was not much time available.

In the conversation just now, the other party was confident that he could control him. He believed that in order to avoid any unforeseen complications, the other party could control Lati Island for a short period of time.

Ivan, who was being used as a bargaining chip, was unlikely to be too far away, which solidified his judgment.

The two met soon after. "How's it going, Barrett?"

Barrett shook his head. "No, nothing was found."

Beta was in the same predicament, and for a moment the two of them were at a loss.

"Boss, could we have made a mistake?" Barrett asked Beta.

"No, I trust you, boss." Beta said firmly, never questioning Charlotte's judgment or decisions.

A sea breeze blew by, ruffling their cloaks and disrupting their thoughts.

"wind!"

Beta suddenly looked up at the sky, his eyes lighting up.

"We didn't look for it in the air, did we?"

Barrett's eyes also lit up.

Thank you to all my friends for your support. Remember to eat dumplings on the Winter Solstice!
