The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 396 What an amazing guy has arrived!

Lati Island!

Fishman Street!

Whether they were humans, merfolk, or mermaids, everyone who came and went talked and laughed peacefully and freely.

Such a friendly scene is almost unimaginable to outsiders.

A man with short black hair, a beard, an "X" scar on his forehead extending to his eyes, wearing a purple kimono, and carrying a cane-sword appeared.

Standing in the middle of the street, his eyes were closed, as if he were listening to everything around him.

Under his Observation Haki, the figures before him passed by like colorful canvases.

He felt no anger, sorrow, pain, or misery... any negative emotions.

Here, he only felt happiness, peace, and joy.

At this moment, he supported himself with his staff and sword, raised his head, and slowly opened his closed eyes, revealing white pupils that looked somewhat frightening.

"Uncle, what happened to your eyes?"

A little girl ran over and looked at the uncle in front of her with some concern.

The somewhat weathered-looking man paused for a moment, then slowly squatted down, closed his eyes, and patted the girl's head.

"I'm fine, everything's okay."

His hoarse voice, however, revealed an indescribable tenderness.

"Little girl, can you tell me about this place?"

The little girl smiled upon hearing this, as if she understood everything; those who asked such questions were people visiting for the first time.

"Uncle, is this your first time on Lati Island? Let me tell you a secret: don't listen to those bad guys outside, they're all lying."

His playful tone exuded the innocence, sincerity, and naivety that children naturally possess.

"Lord Charlotte is so kind..."

Seemingly afraid the other person wouldn't believe her, the little girl earnestly counted on her fingers and slowly spoke.

"Free hospitals, free schools, free parks, free libraries..."

"Furthermore, there are Heberfeller family members patrolling here. If you feel unfairly oppressed, you can file a complaint, right?"

The man nodded secretly after hearing this; he had never heard of such a place before.

Over the years, he has seen things he didn't want to see.

So he chose to close his eyes.

"This is the happiest place in the world."

The little girl was gesturing and talking, but she stopped quickly, releasing a faint sense of sadness.

"What's wrong with you?"

The man was somewhat surprised, wondering why the child, who had been perfectly fine just moments before, would suddenly act this way.

The little girl's voice was sad.

"I was just thinking about the past. If my younger brother could have come here safely, he wouldn't have died of illness."

For a moment, the man's weathered face froze. He didn't know how to speak; he had seen too many things like this before.

After sobbing for a while, the little girl wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Uncle, I'm leaving now. I need to go home for dinner. Goodbye."

Hearing the little girl's words, he gave her a somewhat awkward smile and said goodbye.

He thought to himself, “The world’s greatest swordsman, one of the Four Emperors of the New World, the head of the Hibernian family, a person who is completely different from the rumors outside.”

"What an overly righteous pirate!"

He felt a surge of emotion; this was the first time he had ever felt such intense curiosity about someone.

What kind of person is Hibernian Charlotte?

What color will the hair be?

What about the shape of the eyes?

What will they look like?

He suddenly regretted it; if only he had closed his eyes sooner, he could have seen the other person.

"I really want to see their face. They must be a gentle-looking person!"

They then headed towards the core area of ​​the Heberfeller family.

He really wants to meet the other party now, and even more so, he wants to challenge the world's greatest swordsman.

As fellow swordsmen, wouldn't it be a great pity if we couldn't spar with someone like him?

……

……

office!

Charlotte looked at today's World Economic News and felt slightly agitated.

Because the serialized manga "Legendary Utopia - Hero of the Sea - Lo," created by Mitis, Ollie, and Robin, continues its serialization today.

The comic's storyline is quite exciting, with a gripping and captivating plot.

It's just a pity that it's too short, so short it's outrageous, so short it's unbearable.

Charlotte sighed softly and reluctantly put down the newspaper in her hand.

Although the publisher was in the family, well... it was a bit difficult for him to talk about.

After all, he was the prototype for this comic story, so it would be too embarrassing for him to ask!

"Damn it! It's all the fault of Metis, Ollie, and Robin! Why did they have to draw such a wonderful picture?"

Charlotte snorted in frustration.

Just then, Lina walked in, saw Charlotte looking somewhat depressed, and smiled.

"Who has offended our wise and mighty Lord Charlotte again?"

Charlotte glared at Lina, annoyed. It was really awful to make fun of him.

Lina, seemingly unfazed, covered her alluring red lips with one hand and chuckled inwardly.

You can't find a Charlotte like this anywhere else in the outside world.

Seeing this, Charlotte looked completely helpless.

However, he quickly realized that Lina was usually busy with work at this time and wouldn't easily show up.

So something's wrong?

Charlotte immediately asked.

"Oh, by the way, Lina, what brings you here?"

Hearing Charlotte's question, Lina suppressed her smile and replied.

"Indeed, there is business. A great swordsman has come to visit."

A great swordsman? ???

Charlotte tilted her head. Great sword masters aren't like cabbages; they don't just appear out of nowhere.

"Is this a scam?"

He asked somewhat uncertainly, "Over the years, I've never seen any great swordsmen other than Redfield!"

Of course, Karin, the Knights of God, is also a great swordsman, but that guy would never come here.

Lina shook her head.

"No, Gem has confirmed it; the opponent is undoubtedly a great swordsman."

Charlotte was genuinely surprised by Lina's answer; there really was a great swordsman.

But why doesn't he have any recollection of it at all?

It couldn't be Hawkeye or Shanks. They're still growing and have a long way to go before becoming great swordsmen. If it were really them, Lina wouldn't have needed to come and inform them.

"What does it look like?"

Charlotte asked, somewhat puzzled.

"He's blind!"

blind?

A bolt from the blue flashed through Charlotte's mind, and he suddenly realized the truth.

Is this the future Admiral Fujitora?

These obvious characteristics confirm that it is the other party.

He actually came.

Moreover, the other party is one of the few naval admirals who genuinely care about the lives of civilians.

He even publicly knelt down and apologized to the civilians of Dressrosa in a live broadcast as a general.

Keep in mind that he was a naval admiral, the face of the navy, so it's quite astonishing that he did something like that.

In particular, he once said that the navy should count the number of civilians that need protection rather than the number of enemies.

This can be considered the most benevolent admiral in the history of naval admirals!

What an impressive guy has arrived.

Charlotte smiled slightly; he also wanted to meet this Fujitora... no, now it should be called a smile.

"Let's go! Let's take a look."
