One Piece: Legendary Family

Chapter 20: This is Incredible

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sounds of explosions were heard one after another, and Charlotte had already climbed onto the deck.

The Ochoku Pirate crew and other pirate fleets, with nearly two thousand pirates and dozens of ships of various sizes, had begun bombarding indiscriminately.

Both the port and the town couldn't escape the disaster. Occasionally, an unlucky pirate ship was destroyed.

Charlotte's face showed an extremely grim expression.

What is all this?

You have to understand that the Ochoku Pirate crew had gathered many strong ex-members and pawns from the old Rocks Pirate crew, controlling Hachinosu Island, forming a kind of alliance.

This was to deal with the attacks from Whitebeard's crew, Golden Lion Shiki, and others. Although Ochoku was also a great pirate famous worldwide, his strength did not compare to those true monsters.

And now, attacking with all their might, are they abandoning their base?

The sea was full of their pirate ships, and with the speed of Charlotte's ship and crew, once they set sail, it would be easy to be caught.

Sometimes, you have to admit that having many people has its advantages; the human wave tactic sometimes really works. Like in the current situation.

Several cannonballs fell towards them.

Beta jumped and, with a quick kick, a white crescent cut through the air.

A series of explosions resonated in the air.

At this moment, Charlotte really felt that she desperately needed her own ship. She couldn't escape; this was simply frustrating.

Leaving Beta to keep watch, Charlotte returned to the captain's cabin.

The safest option right now was to do nothing and wait for both sides to clash with each other.

Suddenly, she felt curious about what big interest made these guys attack without caring about the safety of their base.

Earlier, while escaping with Zaga Lido, she hadn't used mind reading to investigate his memories.

So, since they were in the eye of the storm, it didn't matter if it was a secret or not.

"Lina, bring Zaga Lido."

"Okay."

Lina got up and left, returning shortly after with Zaga Lido.

" Zaga Lido, tell me, what is your secret?"

Faced with Charlotte's question, Zaga Lido knew there was no point in hiding it anymore.

"Two years ago, Domi Sys sought me out to build a palace here, creating a city of gastronomy. For me, such a large construction project was something I gladly accepted."

Zaga Lido's face showed a mix of nostalgia and excitement. For someone like him, what could excite him more than becoming one of the greatest architects in the world?

"Then, I let my inspiration soar, designing and finally building this famous island city of gastronomy."

Charlotte nodded approvingly; the design of the whole island city of gastronomy was indeed ingenious, with many fantastic details that made one feel like in a dream.

It was no exaggeration.

His tone was full of pride, but soon his tone changed.

"But then, Domi Sys found a special plant on that island."

A special plant?

Charlotte became interested.

"He ordered me to build a cultivation laboratory to research this plant."

"They called this plant the 'Miracle Flower'."

Miracle Flower?

Charlotte had a reminiscent expression; what was that? She had never heard of it!

"This flower only blooms on full moon nights."

Was it really such a strange plant?

The world of pirates certainly produced strange things.

"It's very beautiful but also very dangerous; this flower releases a toxin that, when inhaled for a long time, causes a strange disease that covers the body with green spots and, upon death, resembles a plant."

Charlotte's expression changed slightly.

This world was really dangerous; what kind of plant was this? If one inhaled it unknowingly, the consequences would be unthinkable.

"But, this flower, when it blooms on full moon nights, also releases a special non-toxic liquid, and that's what Domi Sys needed."

Charlotte was completely confused; she had thought the other side wanted to use it as a weapon similar to poison. It was not at all as she thought.

"This liquid, once processed, turns into a medicine called 'QG Medicine'."

Wow, how complicated.

Charlotte was speechless.

Zaga Lido, seeing Charlotte's confused face, continued explaining.

"This 'QG Medicine' can strengthen the body."

Upon hearing this, Charlotte was truly surprised.

No need for further explanation; everyone knew how important this was.

"Combined with physical training, the 'QG Medicine' can greatly enhance the effects of training."

"This..."

Charlotte was dumbfounded; she knew very well how hard physical training was.

This meant that if normally a person's physical training might need a year or more to be effective, training with the 'QG Medicine' could show great progress in six months, a month, or even less time.

This was something that truly amazed her.

No wonder the Ochoku Pirate crew attacked here.

Because the value of this was incalculable.

Zaga Lido, seeing the bright eyes of Charlotte, couldn't help but remind her.

"Only, at this stage, the 'QG Medicine' only works on normal people."

"???"

Charlotte, realizing, was frustrated; this was no reason for joy.

This greatly reduced the importance of the 'QG Medicine'.

Difficult to develop, costly to invest, scarce materials, dangerous and not very effective, this thing was quite useless.

Charlotte completely lost interest.

Zaga Lido, seeing the look of disappointment in Charlotte's eyes, became nervous; he had a purpose in telling all this.

"Mr. Charlotte, don't underestimate its importance; basic strength can be formed more quickly, it's one of the best options to obtain elite troops."

"Ah..."

Charlotte responded indifferently; actually, she wasn't very interested in basic forces.

Facing the true great powers of the sea, even elite troops couldn't withstand a casual attack.

However, Charlotte suddenly looked at Zaga Lido.

This old man, a building designer, how did he know so much about a field that clearly wasn't his specialty? This was a big problem!

" Zaga Lido, this doesn't seem to be your field of expertise, does it?"

Zaga Lido nodded, "It was my daughter who told me in secret; she is a research scientist in medicine."

A scientist?

This is incredible!

Mentioning scientists, one naturally thinks of "the man with the biggest brain in the world," the brain-brain fruit user, Vegapunk.

His researches and inventions were prolific.

And most scientists in the pirate world were in the hands of the World Government; the others were in the hands of great powers or hidden extremely well.

Domi Sys was lucky!

Charlotte was really interested in scientists.

The development of Ratti Island depended on various talents.

Especially a medicine scientist; medicines are essential to save lives and treat diseases, which would increase her security.

After all, in the world of pirates, there are many strange diseases.

She admitted that at that moment she was tempted.

"She believes Domi Sys is too cruel, sacrificing lives for profit, so..."

Listening to Zaga Lido, Charlotte could guess what happened next.

"Please, sir, save her!"

Faced with Zaga Lido's request, Charlotte thought about it and finally agreed.
