The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 43 No one is more formidable than this.

"Brubrubru, brubrubru!"

Charlotte looked at the Den Den Mushi with a desire to smash it to pieces; this was the Den Den Mushi that Shiki the Golden Lion had given him.

Needless to say, the caller was none other than Shiki the Golden Lion.

Charlotte rubbed her head; it hurt a bit. No matter how hard she tried to avoid it, she couldn't escape!

After a moment, he gritted his teeth and answered the Den Den Mushi, since he really couldn't directly defy Shiki the Golden Lion.

"Hehehe, Charlotte, you really don't seem like a pirate!"

A hearty laugh rang out, and the Den Den Mushi vividly mimicked Shiki the Golden Lion's lewd nature.

Since joining the Golden Lion Pirates, Charlotte has rarely appeared in public unless absolutely necessary, and could be described as excessively low-key.

Even in his current state, he still can't escape the topic of Shiki the Golden Lion.

Charlotte cursed him in her heart before speaking.

"Oh, Captain!"

"Lati Island is undergoing major development and we're too busy to go to the sea. Besides, the sea is so dangerous that only a strong person like the captain can go there freely. I'm nowhere near as good as the captain."

In response to Charlotte's answer, Shiki laughed heartily.

"Excellent, excellent! Since that's the case, I'll give you a mission, lest you tarnish the reputation of my Flying Pirates!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Luo felt an urge to strangle the other person.

Still acting all high and mighty!

Does he really think he's invincible?

He had absolutely no desire to show off, because that would mean his bounty might increase.

Charlotte felt good about his low-key performance. The Navy had almost forgotten about him. After all, there were many rampant pirates every day. Who would spend a lot of energy paying attention to a pirate who didn't cause trouble?

He had no right to refuse, but he still wanted to put up a subtle protest.

"A simple task, Captain, are you sure? After all, I'm not used to long voyages at sea; I get coughed easily."

Shiki didn't believe Charlotte's nonsense at all; such a clumsy explanation couldn't fool him, so he continued.

"There is a kingdom called Ile, located near your seas. I need you to kill the king, retrieve his head, and take back my treasure."

Charlotte's expression changed.

His expression was serious. He naturally knew something about this kingdom, after all, Ivan had collected a lot of information about the surrounding area based on past merchant ships, so he had some understanding of it.

Even though the other party is not a member state of the World Government, killing the king of a kingdom is still a very serious matter.

Charlotte had a sudden inspiration. "Captain, I don't know exactly where this Kingdom of Iller is! After all, I've hardly ever been to sea."

"The ocean is so vast, even if it seems close, the distance to sail is very far. Not everyone has the Devil Fruit ability of a captain."

Charlotte's attempts to resist did not elicit Shiki the Golden Lion's impatience.

"Don't worry! You don't need to worry about that. Kikia has already gone, and she will provide you with the nautical chart."

"Okay, that's it!"

The Den Den Mushi stopped abruptly, catching everyone off guard.

Charlotte was as gloomy as water, and Shiki the Golden Lion was a real jerk.

But he also couldn't understand what had gotten into the King of Elon, why he had provoked this madman and put him in such a predicament.

Charlotte gritted her teeth. This time, that annoying woman named Qiqiya had also come.

At first, he was surprised that Shiki the Golden Lion would notice him, a nobody. Later, Charlotte learned from the banquet that it was she who provided Shiki the Golden Lion with information about him.

It was this culprit who shattered his peaceful life and turned him into the pirate he least wanted to be.

There is no greater enemy than this.

Charlotte had a strong urge to sink this woman to the bottom of the sea.

But this is too dangerous.

Kikia holds a high position in the Golden Lion Pirates. She is a capable assistant under Shiki. In particular, a woman who can thrive in the chaotic seas is no ordinary person.

If we kill her, the Golden Lion will surely be enraged and might even leave behind a backup plan, leaving us utterly defeated.

This risk is too high and does not conform to Charlotte's code of conduct.

Charlotte found it strange; he felt that the Flying Pirates, apart from Shiki the Golden Lion, were not strong enough.

Judging from the current situation, he even doubted that even without that great storm at sea, the Flying Pirates would not be able to defeat the Roger Pirates.

"Reporting to the boss, Chikia, an officer of the Flying Pirates, has come to visit."

When faced with his underling who had come to report, Xia Luo's expression was uncertain. He didn't want to see that woman's face at all. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke.

"Just say I'm sick and not here."

As soon as the words were spoken, a series of silvery voices rang out, "Waaah! Looks like Captain Charlotte isn't too happy to see me!"

Qiqiya walked in with an air of nonchalance, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

Charlotte glared fiercely at her underling.

The underling who came to report was sweating profusely and speechless for a moment. Needless to say, he knew he would be getting extra training.

Charlotte sighed. This wasn't her younger brother's fault, and she didn't dare stop him anyway. "Go on with your work!"

The underling, relieved, fled like the wind; he certainly didn't want to be given a stern lecture by the captain—that feeling was too unpleasant.

"Ms. Kikiya, you're wronging me. I'm really sick. I suffered severe internal injuries in my battle with the captain last time, and I'm still not fully recovered."

Charlotte said with a heavy expression, looking listless and dispirited.

Qiqiya smiled slightly, her bright eyes seemingly able to see through everything.

"Charlotte, I don't think so. With your strength, you wouldn't have been injured for that long. Besides, I think you've been too low-key!"

Charlotte's eyes widened in an instant. How could this beautiful woman be so vicious!

"I……"

Charlotte took a deep breath, grabbed the red wine on the table, and drank it all in one gulp.

I've already been so low-key, and you still want to analyze this? Are you even human?

"Looks like my analysis was spot on, Charlotte."

Analyze you...

Charlotte really wanted to swear, but she could only hold it in.

Kiki chuckled and said, "That's why I specially chose this mission for you from Captain Shiki. What do you think? Aren't I a good person? Aren't you happy?"

Happy NNT.

Charlotte nearly went berserk; he wanted nothing more than to tear the woman in front of him apart alive.

I never expected that this task was also her doing.

"By the way, this is the nautical chart for this mission."

After Kikia finished speaking, she took out a sea chart, on which a kingdom was marked.

This time, the target is the Kingdom of Iren.

"That foolish King Iron actually robbed the Flying Pirates' treasure-carrying ship! This is a serious provocation against the Flying Pirates' prestige, and Captain Shiki is furious."

Charlotte's face darkened. What kind of despicable thing was this?

The Flying Pirates' captain, Golden Lion, with such a prestigious title, actually dared to make a move. Just how greedy is he?

I don't know where this inexplicable confidence comes from.

That's completely out of line.

The most, most, most important thing is that this whole thing ended up falling on his head, completely ruining him.

Charlotte really wanted to crack open the other person's skull to see what was stuffed inside.

"By the way, Charlotte, when are you planning to leave?"

Charlotte glanced at the woman, knowing there was no room for negotiation, and said helplessly.

"Then I'll have someone prepare it."
