The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 36 is so straightforward it's almost cute.

Charlotte had barely stepped out of the lab when one of her underlings rushed over.

He was panting slightly.

"Reporting, boss, the captain of the fifth division of the Flying Pirates has arrived."

Huh? Charlotte looked surprised. Dual-wielding swordsman Dasok? They weren't familiar with each other, were they? What was he doing here?

The two did not communicate or exchange any words during the banquet.

I just can't understand it, I simply can't understand it.

"Go ahead and get busy!"

Charlotte then headed towards the port of Latte Island.

A moment later, they saw Dasok, who was holding two swords and standing motionless, looking exactly like a statue.

He even looks a bit like someone with facial paralysis.

Charlotte was certainly not keen on having much contact with anyone in the Flying Pirates.

But the other party's sudden arrival made him uneasy, wondering what kind of trouble they would cause this time.

"Hello!"

Charlotte maintained a gentle tone, intending to probe the other party's intentions further before speaking.

"good!"

Dasok responded with a single word, his face expressionless, and then... nothing more.

Charlotte was slightly taken aback by this concise attitude.

Hmm? This guy is pretty aloof! The really cold kind.

"What's the matter?"

Faced with such a cold and aloof person, Xia Luo didn't beat around the bush or waste his brainpower.

"Let's have a friendly spar!"

After uttering those two short words, Dasok fell silent again, though a certain fervent fighting spirit seemed to rise in his eyes.

"Are you prepared to have a swordsmanship match with me?"

Charlotte asked uncertainly. He really couldn't understand why someone would travel all this way just to spar with him in swordsmanship. It seemed a bit far-fetched no matter how you looked at it.

"yes!"

Another concise and clear answer. Charlotte looked at the other person's determined gaze and was somewhat speechless.

So economical!

However, after confirming the other party's true purpose, Charlotte herself breathed a sigh of relief.

He's now afraid of being unexpectedly dragged into some kind of conflict.

Then, for no apparent reason, his bounty was increased, and then he faced relentless pursuit from the Navy.

Fortunately, it was just a friendly exchange.

Dual-wielding!

He was actually quite interested, and it would be beneficial for him to learn more about other sword techniques.

Charlotte readily agreed.

Before long, the two arrived at the beach, one of Charlotte's usual training grounds.

This place is secluded, far from crowds and the port, and has a spacious area, making it a good place for friendly competition.

Its main advantage is its good privacy.

The two players on the field quickly got ready.

Charlotte's eyes narrowed slightly. Dasok's aura during the battle was completely different from before, as if he were a different person.

He might have been a little dazed and stunned just now, but now he exudes a sharp and shrewd aura.

Dasok slightly bent over, and the instant he drew his twin swords, his body transformed into a blur as he slashed at Charlotte.

Charlotte swung her sword with one hand, and in the blink of an eye, she steadily blocked Dassock's attack with her twin swords, then flicked it upwards, sending her opponent flying.

Dasok retreated rapidly, using the momentum to take off, and continued his attack after creating distance.

"Jingle bells."

The afterimages moved, and the sounds of swords clashing were crisp and pleasant, mixed with scattered sparks.

With flashing blades and a figure as elusive as a phantom, Charlotte remained composed. He did not unleash the full power of a swordsman, but instead compared pure swordsmanship skills with Dasok.

This feeling is quite wonderful; there are no complicated moves, only the most basic sword fighting.

After a long while, Dassock stopped, panting slightly, while Charlotte remained as calm and composed as before.

Charlotte looked at the other person with admiration in her eyes.

Dasok has not yet become a swordsman, but his strength is indeed quite good, especially his skillful swordsmanship, which is quite amazing.

In his view, given time, he would surely become a master swordsman.

Charlotte was very satisfied. This sparring session gave him a significant understanding of the dual-wielding style and also provided considerable inspiration for his swordsmanship.

Thank you!

Dasok's sharp edge subsided, and he completely returned to his previous aloof state.

The words were surprisingly short, not dense at all.

However, Charlotte's Observation Haki still allowed her to sense the intense emotions conveyed in those two words.

That was... gratitude.

Perhaps he has a rich emotional life, but his expressionless face makes it go unnoticed.

Charlotte shook her head. "No need. I also gained a lot. It's just a matter of each getting what they need."

Dasok looked up, appearing somewhat surprised.

"it is good."

Charlotte was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly. What a peculiar person who was so sparing with words.

Interesting, interesting.

Of course, he could clearly see that Dasok was a pure swordsman who was single-mindedly pursuing swordsmanship.

That's why he was even more certain that the other party would become a sword master.

"I look forward to you becoming a swordsman, and then we'll have another spar."

"it is good."

Charlotte looked helpless. Good heavens, he had said so much, and the other party had dismissed him with just a few words.

How strange!

The two returned to the port together, and Charlotte became increasingly interested in Dassock along the way.

However, when faced with his questions, the responses were simply, "Okay," "Um," "Yes," "That's right," and so on.

It's so simple it's infuriating.

To his surprise, this guy actually wanted to rest here for a while.

Charlotte didn't say anything about it; this guy was kind of to her liking.

A true swordsman would never bother with other schemes or tricks.

His straightforward personality was so simple, almost like he was a bit dim-witted. He couldn't understand how someone with such a personality could survive under Shiki the Golden Lion.

That guy isn't a kind person at heart.

The two had friendly sparring sessions from time to time over the two days.

Charlotte discovered that Dasok's concise expressions were so cleverly disguised that he could understand the meaning behind them without even using Observation Haki.

Sometimes even he himself finds it strange, which makes people marvel at the wonder of fate between people.

On the third day, Dasok found him and handed him a nautical chart.

"Senfrew Island, yes."

Charlotte was somewhat surprised, but then she suddenly understood the other party's intention.

"You mean Senfrevo Island, with its renowned doctors who are highly skilled in medicine?"

"right."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dasok turned and left without hesitation, his words concise, clear, and efficient.

Charlotte was somewhat surprised, as he had only briefly mentioned to the other party that he was looking for a renowned doctor.

Then a slight smile appeared on his face.

He's really not good at expressing himself! But his straightforwardness is kind of cute.

Charlotte's gaze quickly fell on the sea chart.

"Sempreville Island?"

He tapped his fingers on the table, lost in thought.

They stopped moving very quickly.

He immediately arranged a sea voyage, and Dasok was temporarily asked to look after Lati Island.

After all, he was leaving, and he was still a little uneasy relying solely on Ivan, who had only recently acquired a Devil Fruit, and the giant Dahl.

After all, there are still members of the Knights Guild lurking in the shadows.

This forced him to be extra careful.

He certainly didn't want news of his base being destroyed as soon as he set sail.

Hoping for Shiki the Golden Lion to come to the rescue? Haha... You might as well just wash up and go to bed.
