The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 88 This is the taste of languor!

The residence of the Heberfeller family.

Inside the office!

Charlotte sat in a leather chair, smoking a cigarette, with a bottle of century-old red wine on the table, looking completely relaxed. Home is the place; it's comfortable no matter how you lie down.

This has a lazy vibe!

Just as Charlotte was immersed in her wonderful world, Ivan and Saga Rido walked into his office together.

"Boss."

"Mr. Charlotte."

The two spoke one after the other.

Charlotte was a little confused; she didn't think she had called them!

Aren't these guys usually busy with their own work? Why are they all here?

Despite her doubts, Charlotte still spoke up, "Please sit down!"

Filled with excitement, Saga Rido didn't sit down at all. Instead, he walked straight to Charlotte, grabbed Charlotte's left hand with both of his, and showed Charlotte a set of big white teeth.

"Mr. Charlotte, I have a brilliant idea! I don't know if I should say it."

Well, look at him, can I not tell you? He doesn't really want to listen.

Charlotte tried to pull her left hand back, which was being held, but Saga Rido seemed to be too excited and wouldn't let her break free.

Finally, he gave up struggling and let a grown man grab his hand.

"Tell me! What exactly are you thinking?"

Saga Lido smiled repeatedly.

"Mr. Charlotte, I think we can take the main mountain in the center of Lati Island, Mount Kara, as the core, hollow it out, and build a magnificent fortress."

Charlotte looked at Saga Rido, who was spitting as he spoke, and to be honest, he was somewhat tempted by the suggestion for a moment.

Is it safe?

Saga Lido nodded quickly.

"Absolutely safe. I have thoroughly surveyed the area, and the rock walls there are surprisingly strong, easily withstanding saturation bombardment."

Charlotte became interested; he hadn't expected Mount Kara to be so sturdy, which was somewhat unexpected.

"What are you planning to do?"

"If the exterior were designed to resemble a castle, it would be one of the world's premier buildings."

After he finished speaking, Saga Lido's eyes lit up.

However, Charlotte immediately became alert.

The word "second to none" is too jarring.

Wouldn't that be equivalent to becoming extremely famous?

How can this be? Is he still okay?

No, absolutely not.

We must stop him. He must disappear from the world, especially from the Navy's sight.

"Ahem... Saga Lido, your suggestion is indeed very good. Hollowing out the mountain and building a fortress is fine, but modifying the exterior into a castle is unnecessary."

Saga Rido looked at Charlotte with great confusion in his eyes.

Charlotte explained patiently.

"The purpose of a fortress is solely to protect everyone's safety. Being too obvious makes it difficult to hide, especially a structure based on an entire mountain, which is a natural camouflage. It's best to keep it as it is."

Ivan, who was standing to the side, suddenly brightened up, as if he had some inexplicable idea in his mind.

Charlotte didn't notice that he was looking at Saga Rido, who was already deep in thought, so he pressed his advantage.

"So, do you understand?"

Coming to his senses, Saga Rido said with a serious expression, "Mr. Charlotte, I understand what you mean."

Charlotte was satisfied with the serious look in Saga Rido's eyes; this wasn't something he'd made up.

My little brother is very sensible!

It was worth all the effort I put in.

Saga Lido: "The budget may need to be increased, and I need to change the plan, you see."

He was really looking forward to a safe fortress, as long as it wasn't conspicuous! Charlotte's heroic spirit surged.

"No problem, funding is not an issue."

After saying that, he quickly sent Saga Rido away. The sooner the better, as the fortress is a safe place!

He was really looking forward to it.

Saga Lido was initially anxious, feeling a torrent of ingenious designs surging through his mind.

He had no intention of staying any longer; he needed to go back and redesign the plan to suit local conditions, so as not to disappoint Mr. Charlotte!

"Ivan, what's wrong?"

"This boss of his caliber seems to have brought back a lot of good stuff this time; they're all valuable treasures worth utilizing!"

Charlotte had no reason to object to this. "You can make the decision yourself. You don't need to ask me."

"Okay, boss."

"Um, boss, there's something else I need to do?"

"Um?"

Charlotte looked at Ivan with some curiosity, wondering what strange idea the oddball Ivan had come up with this time.

This made Charlotte somewhat suspicious.

Tell me about it!

Ivan straightened his collar and prepared his words with a serious expression.

"To demonstrate the prestige of the Heberfeller family."

"To showcase the uniqueness of the Heberfeller family!"

majesty?

Different?

Charlotte keenly sensed a slightly unfriendly feeling.

"To this end, I designed three styles of Heberfeller family medals: bronze, silver, and gold, representing the status of Heberfeller family members. The different materials of the medals also represent different statuses, in order to enhance the sense of honor among family members!"

???

Charlotte was completely baffled; what kind of bizarre actions were these?

Soon Ivan took out an exquisite wooden box from his pocket, and upon opening it, three medals of different materials came into view.

At first glance, it is a circular, openwork family crest in three different colors, which looks exquisite and highly individual.

Wearing it so flamboyantly on your chest, isn't that just blatantly revealing your identity to the enemy?

Is this... definitely not a suicide mission?

Charlotte looked at the smug Ivan and was speechless.

That's... so damn bad!

Moreover, the Heberfeller family crest itself is very distinctive and artistic, and this exquisite and beautiful brooch adds to that.

It would have been so easy to expose the Heberfeller family's identity! In the end, he was the one who had to take all the blame.

"Boss, what do you think? What's your opinion?"

How can you watch it standing up?

I really thank you, because of you, the four seasons are warm.

If things continue like this, Charlotte feels that she will have nowhere to seek justice after being ambushed that day.

That's so flashy.

When he looked at Ivan's expectant gaze, he thought of all the hard work he had put in over the past.

Charlotte opened his mouth, but really didn't know what to say. He really couldn't refuse Ivan, who was wholeheartedly devoted to his family.

"Fine... we'll do it your way!"

In an instant, Ivan was visibly invigorated, as if an endless stream of brilliant ideas were flowing through his mind.

Upon seeing this situation, Charlotte felt a sudden panic.

Although it's a small matter, the accumulated buffs can easily lead to terrible consequences.

Therefore, we must not let Ivan focus on these things every day, or we will regret it if he causes something serious.

"Ivan, I think it's a waste of your intelligence to waste it on such a trivial matter."

Ivan looked at Charlotte, his face full of excitement, "Really? Boss?"

"Cough... Of course it's real, more real than real gold!"

"Boss, you're so kind!" Ivan was so excited that tears were almost streaming down his face.

Charlotte's lips twitched. This was way too exaggerated!

"Boss, what are your orders?"

Charlotte suddenly had a plan.

"Look! We need to build a family fortress; it's extremely important!"

Charlotte earnestly suggested that in order to capture Ivan's attention and completely divert his intelligence,

"Ivan, I think you are fully capable of participating in the construction of the family fortress together with Saga Lido, contributing your boundless wisdom."

This is Charlotte's true thought: Ivan has too many strange ideas, so it's better to focus more on this.

Who knows, it might have an unexpected effect?

And this project takes a long time! Now Ivan doesn't have time to overthink things.

Charlotte gently patted Ivan on the shoulder. "Do you understand?" she said, giving him a look that said, "I have high hopes for you."

"I understand, boss."

Charlotte was extremely satisfied with Ivan's performance.

He wanted to nip all risks in the bud.

I hope you will all continue to support me. Thank you!
