The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 49 Sinking into the Sea Without Burden

The Heberfeller drifted on the sea, not even flying its flag in an attempt to keep a low profile, and thus disappeared from the sight of those who were interested.

On the deck, Beta and Barrett, who were idly wrestling, were locked in a fierce battle of wits, neither willing to concede and both extremely eager to win.

Gillian, like a recluse, researched her treatment drugs in the medical room, occasionally letting out a nervous laugh that sent chills down one's spine.

Midia practiced her dance gracefully, while also developing her Devil Fruit ability, which drew cheers from her underlings.

Charlotte couldn't bear to look at them; why did they all look so carefree?

This is the ocean of the New World! Why so careless?

Thankfully, Lina remained as steady and methodical as ever, arranging the guard duties in an orderly manner.

On the spacious deck, under a huge parasol, Charlotte lay comfortably on a beach chair, sipping chilled fruit juice, and thought to herself.

The noisiest place was the arena where Beta and Barrett competed, with deafening cheers erupting from time to time.

They're such a worry!

Next to Charlotte sat Mitis, who was quietly reading a book.

Charlotte slid down her sunglasses with her left hand and looked at Mitis. It had to be Mitis; look at her reading, completely unaffected.

He just couldn't keep going.

Upon closer inspection, it was none other than the well-known children's book "Rolando the Liar" from Beihai Park.

Mitis looked up and found Charlotte staring at him, and for a moment he felt a little flustered.

He's a pirate now, how can he still read fairy tales?

"Captain Charlotte, I..."

Charlotte smiled slightly, not caring at all. Everyone has their own hobbies, which is normal.

He also loved smoking cigarettes. Moreover, the lie of the "Land of Gold" that Rolando Liar insisted on did exist, so his death was somewhat unjust.

"That's right, you can only improve if you love reading."

Charlotte said calmly, "This isn't just something I made up."

Many of the novels in One Piece are based on legends that have disappeared from history for various reasons, such as Liar Rolando, which is a true story.

You might just uncover a surprising discovery from the smallest clues.

Mitis was a little embarrassed, as he had only read fairy tales, but he still asked a question.

"Mr. Charlotte, do you believe the Land of Gold truly exists?"

Faced with Mitis's question, Charlotte nodded without hesitation; he truly knew that it did exist.

This surprised Mittis. It was somewhat unbelievable that Mr. Charlotte would believe such an absurd story, which had been circulating for four hundred years.

Looking at Mitis, Charlotte said something meaningful.

"The truth of history has long been buried beneath the ruins, and time has erased incredible legends. How can you prove it's false if you haven't verified it?"

As Mitis listened to Charlotte's words, he thought to himself that Charlotte was indeed a man of great character, and that his words, full of profound meaning and reason, deeply moved him.

Charlotte paused for a moment before continuing.

"In my faraway hometown, there is a saying..."

"The truth of history is written by the victors."

Mitis paused for a moment, "What a wise insight, Mr. Charlotte. Your hometown was truly magnificent."

Charlotte smiled without saying a word.

Mitis seemed to have suddenly mustered up his courage and said.

"Mr. Charlotte, what do you think a dream should be like?"

Charlotte glanced sideways. A dream? He just wanted to lie down safely! That was his ultimate dream.

So he began, "Dreams have no size. Some people want wealth, some want to live peacefully, some want to become the world's number one artist, some want to become the world's number one swordsman, and so on."

Therefore, dreams are not about size, but about the expectation and pursuit of a better future, and no dream should be ridiculed.

"Those who chase their dreams are true warriors!"

Mitis lowered his head, his mind churning with a long-held belief that seemed to grow stronger.

"What is your dream?" Charlotte asked Mitis with some curiosity.

"I think……"

Mitis paused for a moment, then remembered Charlotte's words and suddenly became firm.

"Write a 'Travels of Metis' to record the mysterious sea, secrets, islands, flora and fauna, autobiographies, cultural customs, and so on that I witnessed along the way, in the form of a story written from the perspective of a traveler."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mitis became a little embarrassed.

Hearing what Mitis said, Charlotte looked at the shy Mitis in surprise.

He never expected that Mitis would have such a dream, but he had to admit that such a work might continue to be passed down through generations.

Then the name of Tamytis will surely be remembered by the world.

Charlotte exclaimed, "What a magnificent dream!"

Mitis's eyes lit up, and he looked up at Charlotte.

"Mitis, your dream is truly magnificent; it will surely become a great work."

"Really...really?"

"Mitis asked excitedly, his eyes almost sparkling with stars," he said.

"Of course, you must have confidence."

After saying that, Xia Luo calmly drank his watermelon juice, genuinely believing it would be very entertaining.

Metis looked at Charlotte with deep admiration. In his heart, Charlotte was a great, wise, kind, rational, and philosophical being.

Without being disturbed, Mitis fell into a strange, frenzied state, getting incredibly high on his own!

Charlotte was filled with anticipation when she turned around and saw Mitis trembling uncontrollably.

Forehead!

Isn't this a bit too much of a fuss?

boom!

Suddenly, a heavy cannon shot rang out.

"Pirates are attacking! Pirates are attacking!" the crew members in the watchtower shouted.

Charlotte rolled her eyes in exasperation. With that kind of reaction speed, it'd be too late by then.

"Counterattack! Counterattack!"

Beta shouted and yelled, ordering his crew to retaliate with enemy artillery fire.

Lina rushed over. "Captain Charlotte, it's the Gentlemen Pirates."

Charlotte remained unmoved. She had never heard of such a pirate crew. In any case, they had sunk eight pirate crews at sea in the past half month and made a considerable amount of extra money.

No one sees it, it's not well-known, the other party isn't strong, and there's extra income—why not?

Of course, pirates who start firing cannons as soon as they meet can't be considered good people.

Those respectable pirate crews filled with justice and a spirit of adventure wouldn't fire their cannons without warning, so this is clearly a vicious pirate crew.

There's no burden in sinking into the sea.

There's no problem with handing it over to Beta for negotiations.

As Charlotte was thinking, a black sphere appeared overhead.

At first glance, oh! They're enemy shells!

"Storm-footed Flying Bird".

Charlotte paused with her right foot, transforming into a blur, stirring up a gust of wind and unleashing a sharp slash like a windbird, soaring into the sky.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the shell exploded completely, and the shockwave ruffled Charlotte's hair.
