The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 497 The Will Passed Down Through Generations

On the street!

A transvestite named Bon Clay, dressed in a comical clown swan costume, is fighting a guy wearing a white mask.

Her graceful spinning figure made the white-masked man's eyelids twitch.

"Damn transvestites!"

"Swan Lake!"

As the exaggerated body twisted and turned wildly, a whirlwind-like spin suddenly swept across the room, creating a strong gust of wind.

"Iron Block - Hardened!"

A deep roar resounded, and the white-masked man's body suddenly swelled, becoming as hard as iron.

"Bang bang bang!"

Bon Clay's high-speed spinning leg strikes were quite powerful, and in no time the white-masked man was covered in wounds.

It's obvious that most people can't handle iron blocks; it would likely be fatal.

High in the sky, Charlotte flapped her wings, while Metis sat on a book with its pages swaying beside her, watching silently.

"Mr. Charlotte, isn't that a CP (couple) organization?"

Mitis spoke with some uncertainty.

"It should be!"

Charlotte spoke slowly, "To be honest, there are almost no strong individuals in the entire Alabasta who can stand up to Bon Clay. Perhaps the vice-captain of the Kingdom Guard with the Zoan-type Bird-Bird Fruit could put up a fight."

Therefore, this person is definitely not from Alabasta, and that white mask is very characteristic of the CP organization.

"Mr. Charlotte, shall we make a move?"

Mitis looked at Charlotte and asked her a question.

Charlotte shook her head. "No need. Let's wait and see."

The presence of the World Government's intelligence organization here is truly unexpected; their purpose remains unknown.

Have you also received news about the Logia-type Earth-Earth Fruit?

It's better to operate in secret for now.

With the Baroque Works people leading the way, the Heberfeller family doesn't need to show their faces.

On this journey, he needs to maximize his gains and avoid unnecessary battles as much as possible.

Once his identity is exposed, he won't be able to make a fortune in silence anymore.

Before long, the unrest here attracted the kingdom's attention.

A large group of Alabasta Kingdom soldiers surrounded the street where the battle had broken out.

The fierce battle between the two sides quickly came to a halt, and the CP organization member immediately retreated, as his identity could not be exposed.

The Kingdom of Alabasta is quite different from other kingdoms, and revealing his identity would have negative consequences.

Von Klay gazed at the retreating enemy and, like him, did not choose to continue the pursuit.

His mission wasn't this mysterious man; Crocodile is known for his ruthless methods.

Even if he was terrified, it would be better to part ways than to waste time getting entangled with the enemy.

Furthermore, as a senior agent of Baroque Works, his identity also cannot be made public.

If a major problem arises that affects Crocodile's plans, he will surely suffer a terrible fate.

The thought sent a chill down Von Clay's spine. He quickly turned and left without the slightest desire to linger.

High in the sky, watching the two sides retreat from the battle in perfect unison, Charlotte did not hesitate to lock onto the CP organization member who had just retreated.

He had to figure out what these scoundrels were up to.

It would be quite imperfect if it affected his subsequent plans.

For the rapidly advancing Kingdom of Heberfil right now, accidents are anything but fun!

In the dimly lit streets, members of the CP organization dragged their injured bodies and hurried along.

He never expected to encounter a high-ranking agent of Baroque Works so soon in Alabasta; he was extremely unlucky.

Moreover, he was quite surprised, wondering how those guys who were after pirate bounties had appeared here.

This matter needs to be reported quickly, and there's also some unexpected big news that needs to be spread as soon as possible!

He suddenly stopped walking.

He sensed a strong sense of danger; two figures had appeared directly in front of him without him noticing.

Who are you?

A member of the CP organization spoke in a cold, hoarse voice.

The next moment, his pupils contracted, and the tall figure appeared in front of him in an instant.

Before he could even speak, a hand was already gripping his neck. No matter how much he struggled, it was to no avail, and fear continued to spread through him.

Charlotte's eyes, devoid of any emotion, activated her Observation Haki—Mind Reading.

A moment later, a crisp "crack!" rang out, and the World Government intelligence officer collapsed limply to the ground.

Charlotte remained expressionless. Just as he had expected, the other party had also come for the Devil Fruit after receiving the news.

However, the CP organization hasn't obtained any useful information yet, which makes Charlotte secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Most interestingly, he discovered something else interesting.

When this guy sneaked into the Alabasta King's Palace, he overheard King Cobra talking about a letter left behind by the first Alabasta Queen, Neferutari Lili.

A letter?

Charlotte smiled.

Her real name was Nefertari D. Lily, but historically, this queen did not reveal her D. name and instead traveled the world as Nefertari Lily, deliberately concealing it.

As for the letter that was left behind, he naturally knew about it, but he didn't know what it contained.

However, Charlotte decided to go and take a look; if she could learn something about Im, it would be helpful.

Knowing that the opponent is very strong, but the opponent doesn't reveal their strength at all, it is very difficult to deal with.

It's important to understand that when two individuals are at the pinnacle of world strength, the one who is familiar with the other undoubtedly has an advantage.

He didn't want to give up such an opportunity.

"Let's go, Mytis, let's go see the palace!"

Charlotte suddenly spoke, leaping up and heading towards the palace.

Not long after, inside the royal palace hall.

Two masked figures appeared, with a large group of unconscious Alabasta Kingdom Guard soldiers at their feet.

Who are you?

The current king of Alabasta, King Kobra, had a solemn expression; his terrifying strength speaks for itself.

"Never mind who we are. I'm here to ask just one question."

Hearing Charlotte's words, King Cobra was visibly taken aback, and asked uncertainly, "What is it?"

Charlotte didn't bother with pleasantries and got straight to the point.

"letter!"

It was obvious that King Cobra knew exactly what Charlotte meant by the letter. He felt a momentary tension, but quickly concealed it and calmly replied.

"I don't know what you're talking about?"

Charlotte frowned slightly. "King Cobra, don't make me do it myself. I'll only take a look at the letter left by Nefertari D. Lily."

At this moment, Cobra was clearly shocked, because the name D was known only to the royal family members who had inherited their lineage.

This is a huge secret that their family has kept hidden for 800 years, with the aim of protecting content that could shock the world.

But the person in front of him knew this from somewhere; he knew he couldn't stop it.

The other party even knew this, so it's obvious they came prepared.

Judging from their behavior, they are definitely not from the World Government, otherwise why would they be so polite?

The person before him was powerful but did not use force or commit mass murder. After hesitating for a moment, Kobra agreed.

"good!"

Charlotte was thrilled; she was finally about to uncover part of the truth about the mysterious and long-forgotten history.

This will play an immeasurable role in the upcoming big showdown.

King Cobra then pressed the handle on the throne.

"Click click click!"

A series of rotating friction sounds rang out, and a stone platform rose from the ground.

An old treasure chest was placed on top.

Charlotte stepped forward, while Mitis stared warily at King Cobra, lest the guy do something shady.

The moment the treasure chest was opened, the ancient paper quietly lay inside.

Charlotte reached out and took it out.

He needs to find out more about it.

Opening the old letters...

The will passed down through generations, the changes of the times, and people's dreams—as long as the pursuit of the answer to freedom continues, all of this will never cease…

Charlotte was slightly stunned. The extremely brief opening remarks spoke of an indelible will.

He knew very well that he had now truly begun to touch upon the world's most secret taboos.

Therefore, in the years to come, a war that will inevitably break out and affect the world order will be inevitable.

And at the pinnacle of that non-existent world, on the throne of the void hidden in the darkness, sat a high and mighty king from beginning to end.

That place should have been the site agreed upon by the original twenty kings, and no one else should have been allowed to sit there.

What astonishing secrets led to the cancellation of the agreement, leaving someone sitting alone on it?

Now we are about to tear away part of the enemy's disguise.

Cobra, standing to the side, looked tense, unsure of what the other party would decide in the face of such tremendous news.

Should they flee or silence them?

Charlotte paid no attention to her surroundings, leaving the vigilance to Metis; her mind was drawn to the rest of the letter.

He examined it carefully and continued reading.

That once-prosperous kingdom, whose ideas began to influence the world, made the rule of its kings increasingly unstable...

Charlotte nodded secretly.

Indeed, this was a clash of two ideas, seemingly a conflict between the advanced thinking of the great kingdom and the conservative thinking of the aristocracy.

After all, his ideas would overthrow the power held by the nobility, and such an outcome is indeed hard to accept.

Thus, a clash and conflict of ideas intensified, but the vast kingdom possessed three "weapons"—powers capable of overturning the world—making confrontation virtually impossible...

Charlotte frowned slightly. According to the plot, Joy Boy still lost, which was enough to show that Im was no ordinary guy.

We cannot afford to be careless when facing such a formidable opponent.

But suddenly, rumors spread throughout the world that the ancient weapons of a vast kingdom would bring unpredictable and terrible disasters upon the world...

Thinking about it, it really is true. The weapon that destroyed the Kingdom of Lulucia in the future not only destroyed the kingdom with one shot, but also caused the sea level of the entire world to rise by one meter.

This was just a local war, but that one shot still caused a strong reaction, and the waters near the Kingdom of Lucia were subsequently hit by a series of natural disasters.

So this is not an exaggeration.

The vast kingdom possessing such astonishing weapons is preparing to unleash the three great weapons, aiming to connect the world into one unified whole...

Charlotte was quite surprised; it was truly a crazy move, and the audacity was astonishing!

This also provided an opportunity for those with ulterior motives, giving rise to claims that the "giant kingdom" threatens the world...

This method is surprisingly similar to what we're doing now!

By leveraging the immense pressure of public opinion to create momentum, they positioned themselves on the moral high ground, waging an invisible confrontation against the vast kingdom.

When faced with a threat, most people will choose to protect themselves; this is simply human nature.

For Joy Boy, a thinker who truly wanted to liberate the entire world and create a vast kingdom, this was an unimaginable pressure.

They might even have to make huge compromises for this.

Charlotte became more and more interested as she watched, and continued reading.

[If such a weapon were actually used, how many people would die? Under pressure, Joy Boy sent the Mermaid Queen, the real Sea King, back to the sea in an attempt to quell the anger and gain the support of the world...]

Charlotte frowned slightly; this choice was undoubtedly a blunder.

This is just like how that superpower on Earth, misled by another superpower, ended up disintegrating.

Joey Boy also fell for the trap; it can only be said that the other party had too many concerns.

Once a conspiracy begins, it will not stop until its goal is achieved. The first Kingdom Alliance was successfully formed, and the confrontation began. I also made a wrong judgment that I will regret for the rest of my life...

Charlotte was unable to calm down for a long time. This was a war full of intrigue, and she suffered a crushing defeat due to Joy Boy's repeated concessions and betrayals.

The world thus fell into another brutal rule dominated by one power, seemingly fair and just but actually concealing countless filthy collusion.

The world government that was formed seemed to be leading the world toward peace, happiness and fulfillment, but upon closer examination, it turned out to be leading to another hypocritical and cruel world.

It's all just a facade of peace, a meticulously crafted dream.

When the bubble bursts and the dream is shattered, the ugly faces that caused it will naturally have nowhere to hide.

My destiny was already sealed!

[Please protect...the Poneglyphs...so that the banner of dawn may rise over the world—Nefertari D. Lily!]

Charlotte read to the end.

It is clear that Queen Lily, having come to her senses, atones for her past mistakes and also warns future generations to protect historical texts.

Liberating the historical texts of the past to all parts of the world, so that the truth from 800 years ago cannot be buried, is not an accident but a planned action after awakening.

Queen Lily even went so far as to add the letter "D" to her name, thus becoming a continuation of this will.

However, those who now bear the name "D" no longer know its true meaning.

The faint sound of "D" almost vanished in this world. If it weren't for the guidance of historical texts, Im and the others would have been the true victors.

Queen Lily has truly done something remarkable!

Through this letter, Charlotte also gained a lot of useful information.

At least he's not completely clueless about Im anymore.

It can be confirmed that the alliance of the twenty kings was facilitated by Im, especially since Uranus, the king of the gods, had fallen into their hands.

The mysterious weapon that destroyed the Kingdom of Lulucia was finally exposed to Charlotte's eyes at this moment.

Such a result is quite astonishing, and his preparations all along have not been superfluous.
