The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 75 has a narrow scope.

The weather in Xihai was lovely, with bright sunshine.

A warm breeze swept across the deck, and under the parasol, Charlotte, wearing brown sunglasses, lay comfortably on a beach chair.

Lina gently massaged Charlotte's shoulders.

Ah! This kind of life is so comfortable, so very comfortable.

How wonderful it would be if life continued like this, peaceful and uneventful, allowing me to cultivate myself, occasionally collect things when the mood strikes, and simply lie down in safety.

I really don't know what's so great about fighting and killing.

How utterly foolish!

"Boss, boss!"

A series of footsteps echoed on the deck, Beta's loud voice still spoiling the mood.

Beta quickly approached, newspaper in hand, his face beaming with undisguised joy. "Boss, this is great news! This is fantastic news!"

Ok?

good thing?

Is it a great thing?

Charlotte lowered her sunglasses slightly and looked at Beta with a suspicious expression. What good thing could there be that made her so happy?

Why do I have this uneasy feeling?

"What happened?"

Beta, oblivious to Charlotte's suspicious look, exclaimed excitedly, "Boss, your bounty has gone up!"

The bounty has gone up!

That's nothing...bullshit!

The dazed Charlotte suddenly woke up with a look of disbelief; her bounty had increased!

Did you make a mistake!

How could it have gone up?

Is it just a coincidence of names? He's a law-abiding pirate, with no bad habits and has never done anything wrong!

He's a perfectly law-abiding citizen!

"Let me see it!"

Charlotte completely lost her previous nonchalant demeanor, snatched the newspaper from Beta's hand, and began to read it seriously.

Then he frowned and his lips twitched slightly.

The sixth fleet of the Golden Lion Pirates, the Hipferer Pirates, wreaked havoc on pirates near Rati Island, unleashing a bloody massacre...

That shouldn't be happening!

impossible!

He didn't do that! Nor did he ask Ivan to do something so thankless and superfluous.

How did it end up like this?

Could it be that Ivan acted on his own initiative?

Charlotte thought it was quite possible.

But damn it, shouldn't Ivan be the one getting a raise?

What's the meaning of increasing his reward by 20 million?

Even if it's not much, do you understand the principle of accumulating knowledge over time?

This is called crisis awareness!

The navy doesn't follow military ethics and doesn't act according to the rules. There should be a clear reason for increasing the bounty.

This is a disgrace, an utter and complete disgrace!

Charlotte's eyes were red, and she grabbed her hair in frustration.

"Lina, go get the Den Den Mushi!"

Lina nodded, got up, and left.

He had to find out exactly what had happened. To be wronged like this without any explanation was outrageous!

"Brubrubru, brubrubru!"

In the blink of an eye, the phone call mimicked Ivan's appearance.

"Moshi moshi, Boss Charlotte!"

Charlotte calmed herself down and asked, "What's wrong, Ivan?"

"Boss, you know now!"

Charlotte nearly fainted; he'd been sitting on Charlotte's neck and hadn't even noticed.

Are we supposed to wait for the navy to invite him for tea?

If Charlotte doesn't give a clear answer today, she'll show Ivan what it means to be utterly ruined when he gets back.

Ivan thought for a moment and didn't tell the truth. After all, his boss would be worried if he knew that Ivan had gone to sea without regard for his own safety, which might affect his plans.

He then spoke up, "It was Golden Lion who said that your bounty was too low, and that the pirates in the area didn't know your reputation. He felt that your strength would tarnish Golden Lion's name, so he gave me the order to use your name to wipe out the pirates in the area."

Forehead???

Why would this old lunatic care about such a trivial matter? Has he taken the wrong medication?

However, if you say that his reputation is too small and that he has offended Shiki the Golden Lion, the other party might care about that.

Charlotte gritted her teeth, "You damned old man, Shiki the Golden Lion!"

I did nothing wrong to you, and you're so cruel.

This sounds like they want him to go to Impel Down and move bricks!

Charlotte's gaze instantly turned into a sharp sword. At this moment, he really wanted to tear that bastard Shiki the Golden Lion to pieces, but even that wouldn't be enough to quell the hatred in his heart.

The golden lion, high above the unknown waters of the new world, suddenly shivered and looked outside in confusion.

The weather's pretty nice! What's going on?

Could there be a flaw in his plan? Thinking this, Shiki the Golden Lion hurriedly left, seemingly to attend to something.

Charlotte then cursed all the women of Shiki the Golden Lion's clan, still indignant.

Even though he's run so far away, he still hasn't forgotten to mess with him.

"However, boss, I think this was absolutely necessary!"

What the hell?

Charlotte's eyes widened in disbelief. He couldn't believe that his little brother would say such a thing.

This is going to turn the Heavenly Gang upside down!

Young man, I advise you to be more honest and upright.

Ivan, on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, said with great enthusiasm.

"Boss, I believe that with your strength, you will surely make a name for yourself in the new world. Your reputation should not be limited to Lati Island; that would be a desecration of you."

Ivan spoke with great passion and fervor.

Charlotte's mood plummeted upon hearing this.

This is toxic, really toxic. What exactly did this young man go through?

It wasn't like this before!

What exactly did that bastard Shiki the Golden Lion do to Ivan?

Charlotte was heartbroken and speechless with grief.

"Ivan, you should know that reputation is of no use to me. Lati Island is the key. Don't lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains."

Ivan paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Boss, I understand. I'll be careful."

Hang up the Den Den Mushi.

Charlotte lost interest and became listless.

This kind of reality is really discouraging!

The thought of Shiki's antics bringing him back into the Navy's sights gave him a headache.

Aside from the World Government, the hidden big boss, there is no doubt that the Navy is the biggest power on this sea.

He didn't want to be targeted by that huge group of monsters from Marine Headquarters; the thought of such a battle was incredibly troublesome.

He can't even beat Shiki the Golden Lion right now, so if he were to encounter a Marine Admiral, Garp, or some other monster, he'd be asking for death.

They're especially vulnerable to being ganged up on!

There is absolutely no martial virtue to speak of.

He genuinely wanted absolutely nothing to do with the Navy.

This is troublesome, so troublesome.

Charlotte rubbed her temples.

We'll have to be even more careful from now on, especially when dealing with Shiki the Golden Lion; we'll have to be extra vigilant.

Otherwise, who knows how things might have turned out?

Beta stood next to Charlotte, feeling puzzled.

"Boss Charlotte doesn't seem happy! Well, it's only a measly 20 million bounty increase, nothing to be overjoyed about. I guess I've been too narrow-minded!"

The thought made Beta feel a surge of anger. This bounty was completely unworthy of his boss's status, and he had even been feeling smug about it.

No, absolutely not.

Charlotte suddenly felt a strange chill creep over her, but she couldn't figure it out.

Ivan should understand what he meant; was the Golden Lion up to some crazy scheme again?

Charlotte tilted her head in thought, dismissing her own guess.

How incredibly bored must he be to be so idle?

I'm afraid I'm just having a stress reaction and overthinking things.
