The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 348 There's something fishy going on here.

Ten days later!

King returned to Latte Island with ten-year-old Nico Robin!

"Brother Jin, where are we going?"

Young Robin, somewhat nervously, asked the taciturn King in front of her.

Upon hearing this, Jin stopped and looked at Nico Robin.

"Don't worry, little Robin."

As a powerful individual, his Observation Haki was naturally quite strong, and he could sense the little girl's fear.

A short while later, in front of Charlotte's office door.

The embers struck softly.

"Come in!"

A deep voice rang out, and King pushed open the door without hesitation, followed closely by Nico Robin.

"You've worked hard, Jhin!"

Charlotte spoke gently, with a smile.

"It's alright, boss."

Jin's answer was as calm and steady as ever.

"Has there been any trouble?"

Charlotte was very concerned about this matter. If things escalated and the World Government took notice, it would be a troublesome situation.

"No, I avoided that navy officer."

Hearing Jin's answer, Charlotte nodded; that was a good idea.

Nicole Robin peeked out and looked warily at the gentle Charlotte on the sofa.

When she was eight years old, her hometown was destroyed, and her mother, whom she had finally managed to see, died before her eyes. What followed was more than two years of wandering.

In just two short years, she has endured far too much deception and betrayal. Everyone who knows her identity has ill intentions, and there are even threats from the World Government.

This filled her young heart with vigilance.

Especially since this one is one of the Four Emperors of the New World.

Charlotte naturally sensed that intense emotion.

"Nicole Robin has nothing to worry about. I know your mother, Nicole Olvia!"

Hearing this, Nicole Robin was shocked, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Charlotte looked at Nicole Robin and seemed to recall the Ohara of the past, and also seemed to see the hardships the child had endured over the past two years.

His tone was somewhat low.

"Now that you're here, you can live freely and without worry, Robin!"

"From now on, this is your home!"

Nico Robin's eyes seemed to involuntarily well up with tears, the moment of the tragedy that occurred in Ohara flashing before her eyes.

To protect her, her mother dared not acknowledge her. Only when destruction came and CP0 fled did a mother cry out in her final moments, desperately urging her to live.

Dr. Clover instructed her to conceal her identity and protect her at all costs.

The giant Sauro sacrificed himself to protect her, and the last words he shouted to her...

Listen carefully to Robin

Even if you are alone now

You will definitely meet your companions someday.

The sea is boundless.

Someday.

Your companions will surely appear to protect you.

You are never born alone in this world...

These scenes felt like they happened just yesterday, and her tears fell like large pearls.

Charlotte looked at Nicole Robin, who was crying in front of him, and he knew that she might be recalling those bad memories.

He was at a loss for what to do; he had no idea how to comfort the girl when she started crying.

"Brother Charlotte, I'm here."

Just then, Oli walked in.

Charlotte was overjoyed to see Oli.

"Oli, quick, this is Nico Robin. She's an Ohara survivor and an archaeologist. You have to protect her from now on."

As Charlotte finished speaking, Oli looked at Nicole Robin with disbelief.

Oli's gaze fell on Nico Robin, and her eyes involuntarily reddened.

She had been following the news in the newspapers and learned from Charlotte that Nicole Robin was the child of her Aunt Nicole Olvia.

"Nicole Robin, I'm also an Ohara survivor. You can call me 'older sister' from now on."

Oli walked towards Robin and began to speak.

Robin was stunned for a moment because she didn't recognize Oli at all.

"Robin, I'll explain it to you. I'll take you somewhere you'll love."

Oli spoke gently, then looked at Charlotte.

"Go quickly!"

Charlotte spoke calmly, and Olivia happily led Nicole Robin away from there.

Seeing all this, Xia Luo spoke calmly.

"That counts as accomplishing something!"

Then he thought of Kuzan, the guy who secretly let Nico Robin go. His confusion about the Navy's justice also made him start to pursue the justice in his heart.

I just don't know what the outcome will be.

Once she came to her senses, Charlotte spoke to Jin.

"Jin, go and get some rest!"

"Okay, boss."

After saying that, Jhin walked outside, and Lina walked in, brushing past him.

"Charlotte, something terrible has happened."

Hearing Lina's words, Charlotte tilted her head.

Something happened again?

Judging from Lina's expression, this matter seems to be quite serious.

"Tell me about Lina slowly!"

Listening to Charlotte's comforting words, Lina slowly spoke.

"A dozen days ago, a pirate carnival party was held on Giresent Island, which attracted dozens of pirate crews."

Forehead???

Charlotte was slightly taken aback. A pirate party?

It's unlikely that this pirate would have such leisure time!

What is a pirate crew?

Aside from a very few adventurous individuals, the vast majority of pirate crews are driven by profit.

There's something fishy going on here!

"What else?"

Charlotte became interested.

"The intelligence our people have sent back says that the so-called pirate party is just a cover; there seems to be a valuable treasure hidden there."

His eyes narrowed slightly. "How did they know that information?"

Lina paused for a moment, "According to the intelligence, it's recorded on the treasure map."

Treasure map?

Charlotte nodded slightly, then realized what she meant and said, "What does this have to do with us!"

Seeing Charlotte's confusion, Lina spoke up.

"Charlotte, we're a pirate family! Naturally, we'd send family members to search for the treasure upon receiving such news."

Oh! It really is!

Normally, he wouldn't need to pay attention to such trivial matters; Ivan, Lina, and others would handle them.

Lina said in a heavy tone.

"But an unexpected incident occurred during the process. One of the family members who were dispatched went missing, and even the intelligence personnel disappeared. The life blueprints in the Hall of Life have been burned to ashes."

Charlotte's gaze turned serious. Even ordinary members of the Hippefeller family were not easily wiped out by ordinary pirates.

This seems to be more than it appears.

"Who's going to handle this?"

Charlotte asked.

"Beta went with ten ships."

As Lina began to speak, Charlotte subconsciously raised an eyebrow. Beta was not a calm guy, which made him a little uneasy.

He's fine for fighting, but he's unreliable when it comes to handling complicated matters that require a little thought.

"Why didn't you send the composed Barrett?"

Charlotte looked at Lina with some confusion.

"You forgot, Charlotte? Barrett went to Wano Country to escort this transaction."

Upon hearing this, Xia Luo realized that the transaction amount between the two parties this time was quite large.

Just in case, he let Barrett handle it, and he had completely forgotten about this matter.

That's actually a bit awkward.

"Never mind, Beta and the others have been gone for a few days."

"It's been a week, it should be arriving soon."

Looking at Charlotte, Lina answered truthfully.

"Then prepare the dragons, I'll go take a look!"

Charlotte spoke up, still worried about Beta, mainly because he feared it might be a trap set by the Navy.

The sudden appearance of a treasure map attracted dozens of pirate crews over such a large area; it seems highly unlikely.

This tactic might just be part of a conspiracy by the strategist of the Warring States period.
