The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 34 The gossip has backfired on me.

In the garden square.

"ha!"

"ha!"

"ha!"

……

A series of powerful shouts rang out as a group of people carried out their training in an orderly manner with utmost seriousness and effort.

Sweat was dripping down their faces, and their fighting spirit was high; they were clearly the kind of people with abundant martial virtue.

In the open space on the outskirts, under a huge parasol, there are exquisite sofas and coffee tables.

The person sitting lazily under the umbrella was none other than Charlotte herself.

He was watching everyone's training with great interest, checking their progress, and also offering some pointers to his juniors who were slightly off track.

Today, because of Charlotte's presence, everyone is giving it their all, displaying a spirited and energetic demeanor.

They worked very hard.

Only the underlings knew that if Boss Charlotte thought they were slacking off, he would definitely give them intensive, one-on-one training.

That terrible outcome... I can't bear it, I simply can't bear it!

No one dared to let their guard down.

Under the parasol, Charlotte nodded from time to time, seemingly satisfied with everyone's recent training.

Sweating more in normal times will give you a better chance of self-defense in battle.

Especially now that they've embarked on the path of no return as pirates, strictness is not an option.

"Charlotte, today's newspaper."

As soon as he arrived, Lina handed him the newspaper she was holding.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Charlotte took the newspaper from the other person and began to read it carefully...

[Major Event!!! Marine hero Vice Admiral Garp and Gol D. Roger, captain of the Roger Pirates, engaged in a fierce battle on Lavo Island...]

[Breaking News!!! The Wang Zhi Great Pirates have defeated the White Hat Pirates...]

[Shocking! The image of a thousand-year-old dragon has been spotted on Qimei Island...]

[Outrageous! The Mongol Pirates have sunk a naval warship...]

……

Charlotte was speechless for a moment. This could be considered clickbait!

He also lamented that the world was far from peaceful; conflict had never ceased.

However, what comforted him most was that there was no news in the newspapers about the disappearance of the strange island.

This shows that his strategy was very successful!

Move quietly, don't fire a shot.

safe!

Charlotte put down the newspaper in her hand with a sense of relief, picked up the wine glass on the coffee table with a happy smile, and began to savor the wine.

Just then, Beta came running over excitedly.

"Boss, boss."

Beta's voice came from afar, leaving Charlotte utterly speechless.

This guy always has this bad habit of being impulsive and careless, he's not steady at all, there's no hope for him to change.

Following closely behind is Barrett; these two are often inseparable.

As soon as he got close to him, Beta started gesturing wildly.

It was unbearable to look at; it was completely unbearable to look at. It looked exactly like a giant monkey.

Charlotte rubbed her temples.

"Beta, can you please change this habit? There are so many people watching. Can't you be more mindful of your image?"

"Hehe, boss, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Besides, if they dare to laugh at me, my fists, as big as sandbags, won't let them get away with it."

Seeing Beta's nonchalant attitude, Charlotte couldn't help but twitch her lips.

What else did Charlotte want to say? Beta leaned in close, spitting as he spoke.

"Boss, I heard something funny?"

Charlotte shoved Beta's head away, looking disgusted, and said in an unfriendly tone, "It's very impolite to spit on people."

"If you have something to say, talk it out."

Beta scratched his head habitually, not caring, and then spoke in a deep voice.

"I heard that an island they passed by sank, supposedly hit by a meteorite falling from the sky."

Ok? ? ?

A meteorite struck and sank the building!

It gives me a strange sense of déjà vu!

While Charlotte was still in surprise, Barrett looked disdainful, as if he thought Beta's words were unreliable.

"No, no, I heard it's because a super-sized sea king passed by and swallowed the entire island."

Goodness, there's even a 2.0 version. Charlotte really feels like she's broadened her horizons.

Lina, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but chime in as well.

"But I heard that a powerful being sank the island!"

What? There's a 3.0 version too.

However, just a moment later, Charlotte felt something was off and her heart skipped a beat. Why did this sound so familiar?

Where did this happen?

Beta, as if presenting a treasure, eagerly said, "It's said to be that little bay island, not too far away."

Upon hearing that familiar name, Charlotte almost lost her composure.

That's the name of the island he secretly sank.

Damn, is this how information circulates among the people?

It's really bad when gossip gets back to you.

Click!

Without realizing it, Charlotte crushed the wine glass in her hand.

"Are you alright, Charlotte?"

Upon hearing the sound, Lina quickly took out a silk scarf and began to wipe Charlotte's face.

Charlotte realized she had lost her composure, so she coughed lightly to stop Lina's actions.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. It's just that what you said surprised me a bit."

No one noticed the subtle change in Charlotte's tone.

"Right, right! You think it's interesting too, right, boss? I thought it was interesting when I heard it."

Beta spoke casually, as if he couldn't wait to be there and see it for himself.

"However, all your versions are different. Who told you that?"

Charlotte asked indirectly, feigning indifference.

He needs to figure out the specifics so that he doesn't get caught up in the truth while he himself remains in the dark.

That's hilarious.

"I heard it from passing merchant ships," Beta replied without hesitation.

Barrett stood ramrod straight and shook his head.

"Yes, I heard about it from people in the small town."

Lina chimed in, "I've heard it from many people, and there are probably all sorts of names!"

Good heavens, really good heavens, after all this time, he was the last to find out about this.

He quickly calmed down, and fortunately, these messages were all just speculations, a mixture of truth and falsehood.

Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, as no one else suspected anything.

As long as things don't come to light and his bounty doesn't increase, then all will be well.

Of course, he could only turn a blind eye to this and pretend it never happened.

Over time, people will forget about it, and it will at most become a topic of conversation after dinner, serving as a place for bragging and idle chatter.

This made him think that Lati Island was slowly becoming prosperous.

More and more businessmen from all over the world will come here in the future.

The little misunderstanding gave him a wake-up call and sparked an idea.

That means his intelligence work is really terrible.

If something really bad happens, I'm afraid I'll regret it. And what happened to Ivan not long ago was a lesson to be learned.

It's not safe at all!

With this in mind, Charlotte became resolute.

"Lina, inform Ivan to set up an intelligence organization, mainly to collect all information on Lati Island."

Lina did not hesitate at all; she understood that this was a necessary measure.

With a large population on Lati Island, the number of spies hiding among them is certainly not small.

This is my new book. I humbly request that you, my dear readers, read it, add it to your favorites, vote for it, and leave comments. I'm just a nobody, but I'm very grateful to you all.
