One Piece: Legendary Family

Chapter 47: What Comforting Words!

Back on Ratti Island.

Charlotte was not in a good mood.

According to Lina's report, she discovered that the three ships were not loaded with treasures but with weapons: guns, cannons, and swords.

This surprised her greatly! Quixia had deceived her!

But that wasn't the most important thing.

What was Shiki planning to do with so many weapons?

Charlotte felt uneasy; surely they weren't just for display.

She wasn't joking around. Clearly, there were big plans in motion.

Charlotte's expression showed great concern. This meant that at any moment, she could receive a summons from Shiki to participate in a battle.

And then... her bounty would increase!

The Navy would intensify their surveillance on her!

Thinking about this, Charlotte couldn't help but shiver, as if an electric current ran through her body, making her hair stand on end.

Soon, at the port.

Charlotte immediately saw the culprit behind all this, with a look of disgust.

After disembarking from the ship, she threw the head of the King of Eleon at Quixia.

Quixia caught it without a flinch, didn't even look at it, and tossed it to one of her companions.

Then she boarded the three ships of the Flying Pirate Squad and inspected them.

Seeing her actions, Charlotte knew she had been deceived.

Quixia didn't care about the death of the King of Eleon; her main goal was the weapons.

Quixia soon returned with a broad smile.

"Not bad, Charlotte, you've done well! Do you have any small wish?"

Quixia asked Charlotte. She had the authority to make certain decisions on behalf of Shiki, of course, with his approval.

Although Charlotte had taken a bit of time, that didn't matter; the important thing was that she had completed the task. After all, she was a powerful individual and had privileges.

Charlotte, though furious inside, didn't show it.

And since Quixia was offering a reward, she couldn't pass it up.

"We suffered some losses on this mission; isn't there any compensation?"

Quixia paused for a moment. "It can't be, there's nothing!"

Seeing her attitude, Charlotte wished to give her a good punch to teach her how cruel the world could be.

Although she was upset, at least Quixia hadn't caused additional problems.

"Oh, by the way, I plan to go out to sea for a while."

Quixia, with a surprised expression, responded: "That's not like you, right?"

Charlotte cursed internally. If it weren't because they were planning something big, why would she make this decision? She didn't lack money, clothes, food, and had a house and a ship; wouldn't it be better to stay at home quietly?

"Yes, I want to take advantage before the Navy watches me to do some things."

Quixia nodded slightly. "Alright, I'll report it as is."

After saying goodbye to Quixia, Charlotte felt relieved.

The loading work no longer needed her supervision; Ivan was eager to start.

In her office.

Charlotte held an encyclopedia of devil fruits in one hand and a devil fruit she was examining in the other.

Soon, Charlotte lit up.

It was a devil fruit, of the Paramecia type, called the Vegetation Fruit or Growth Fruit, which allowed control over nearby plants and accelerated their growth.

It was a very powerful devil fruit!

Charlotte carefully stored it to observe who would be the most suitable to eat it.

At night, the Pirate Hiberfield held a big party to celebrate their victory.

The party not only strengthened the bonds between the members but also served to relax.

In the party hall.

Mountains of roasted meat and barrels of wine were brought in.

The giant Dahl, Beta, and Barrett competed voraciously to see who could eat the most meat.

Soon, the meat in front of them quickly disappeared.

Zaga Lido and Zaga Rin, father and daughter, discussed the progress of their projects while enjoying the food.

Ivan, Lina, Gillian, and Mitis sat together, laughing and enjoying the wine, although Mitis only drank juice.

Lina, somewhat curious, looked at Mitis and asked: "Mitis, where's your sister? Hasn't she recovered? Why isn't she here?"

Mitis smiled. "My sister is going to make a presentation, that's why she's not here."

Lina nodded with a smile.

The party was lively and grand, with the members enjoying the food and wine without worries.

Charlotte also relaxed; this was the peaceful life she desired.

How wonderful!

Suddenly, the lights flickered, and a beautiful melody began to play.

A figure slowly appeared.

Charlotte was surprised. Was it little Mitia? What was happening?

Everyone stopped moving, and little Mitia, although somewhat shy, said:

"This is a celebration dance from my land, I dedicate it to everyone to wish you blessings and hope that big brother Charlotte achieves everything he desires."

Charlotte smiled, what a good girl! This is what she wanted!

What comforting words!

When the music started, Mitia began to dance. Despite her young age, her dance showed her great talent.

The joyful music and Mitia's spectacular dance made everyone enthusiastic.

Cheers filled the place.

"Incredible, Mitia. You will undoubtedly be a famous dancer in the future," exclaimed Lina.

Mitia's face blushed, though the compliments were not for her, she felt very proud.

She was her sister, the future dance queen, Mitia.

With Mitia's dance, the party atmosphere reached its peak, and everyone danced and sang joyfully.

At that moment, everything was perfect, the world was wonderful.

Charlotte looked at Mitia with a smile full of love; this home composed of people from all corners of the world was so warm.

And at that moment, Charlotte had a revelation: the Vegetation Fruit should be for Mitia.

After all, the power of that fruit required dance movements, and Mitia with her dance could make the most of its abilities.

It would be impressive and delightful!

Besides, it was better than a big man using it clumsily.

At ten years old, Mitia was already old enough to eat a devil fruit.

At least with that power, Mitia could defend herself a little.

The days at sea were unstable.

The big party ended amidst laughter and joy.

The food contest between the giant Dahl, Beta, and Barrett also ended with Dahl's victory.
