One Piece: Legendary Family

Chapter 48: If You Can't Provoke, At Least Avoid

Hapone Navy, Don Chinjao has defeated Shiki the Golden Lion's fourth squadron captain, Moji.

Looking at the news in the newspaper, Charlotte was clearly surprised. This is indeed a very famous character.

In Charlotte's eyes, Don Chinjao has incredible potential.

It's a pity he encountered the marine hero Garp too soon. After all, he is one of the pillars of the marine combat force, suffered a huge blow, and his spirit crumbled.

The bounty was set at over 500 million berries.

In fact, from another point of view, Don Chinjao was also lucky in his misfortune, lived long enough, and became a legendary pirate.

Turns out, living until the end is being the true winner!

Staying calm and safe is undoubtedly the best option. With such an outstanding figure ahead, the future is bright.

Charlotte continued flipping through the newspaper attentively.

After a while, Charlotte put down the newspaper, satisfied not to find any news about herself; the Eleon Kingdom incident had passed smoothly.

"I knew it! I'm so smart!" She secretly praised her wise decision.

The smooth transition of the Eleon Kingdom incident was not in vain, "Perfect!"

Lina, seeing Charlotte's happiness, smiled slightly, "Charlotte, you are undoubtedly a hero who does not worry about personal glory; the Eleon Kingdom was lucky to find you."

Huh?

With those words, Charlotte felt a bit embarrassed.

That statement was a bit exaggerated.

"By the way, Lina, has the Golden Lion tried to contact us recently?"

Charlotte asked. Since the last Eleon Kingdom incident, she had left the den den mushi in Lina's hands.

She really didn't want to face Shiki the Golden Lion; if there was something urgent, Lina would inform her.

"No, there hasn't been anything since the Eleon Kingdom incident."

At Lina's response, Charlotte felt a bit puzzled.

Shiki the Golden Lion had treated the Eleon Kingdom incident with indifference.

Thinking about it, with Shiki the Golden Lion's arrogant and domineering character, he probably wouldn't give importance to such a small challenge.

Destroying it casually would be his style.

But Charlotte had a strange feeling, so she tried to remember.

But in the works of her previous life, the description of this period was very incomplete, very vague.

She only knew some major events but didn't have the full picture.

Moreover, Don Chinjao's attitude towards the defeat of the fourth squadron captain, Moji, was indifferent.

Very strange!

Even if he didn't care about the Eleon Kingdom incident, the defeat of his fourth squadron captain was a direct challenge.

He might not care about his crew's lives, but he would definitely act to maintain his authority.

So, why?

Charlotte's expression changed.

There was only one truth.

Shiki the Golden Lion must be secretly planning an important event.

Reflecting on Shiki the Golden Lion's extremely discreet behavior lately, there was probably a 90% chance he was planning a major event.

Thinking about this, Charlotte became a bit nervous.

After much thought, she decided she should go out to sea discreetly for a while, at least to buy time.

She didn't have the same luck as Shiki the Golden Lion.

Moreover, in the pirate world, it is very important to have connections.

Just taking advantage of the current chaos among pirates and the lack of attention from the navy, maybe it was an opportunity to hide in the first half of the Grand Line.

Of course, mainly because she wasn't very famous and wasn't as noticeable as other pirates.

As for the danger, the chances of the navy pursuing her were low.

That's the advantage of being discreet.

However, if she really went to the first half of the Grand Line, returning to the New World would also be a problem... no, rather, it would be very dangerous.

The Red Line divides the Grand Line into two parts; the first is called Paradise, and the second, New World.

The paths of the four seas converge through Reverse Mountain in the first half of the Grand Line, with seven possible routes that meet in the Sabaody Archipelago, from where one enters the second half of the Grand Line, the New World.

There are two ways to enter the second half of the Grand Line.

The first is to request permission from the World Government and cross directly the Holy Land of Mariejoa at the top of the Red Line, which involves abandoning the ship, spending a lot of money to buy a new one, and waiting a long time for approval, but it is safe.

The second is to find a coater in the Sabaody Archipelago, coat the ship with Yarukiman tree resin and submerge 10,000 meters underwater, crossing a large cave under the Red Line and following the underwater route to Fish-Man Island to reach the New World.

To be honest, Charlotte didn't want to choose either of these two routes.

With her pirate status, going to Mariejoa would be walking directly into a trap; that option was not viable.

The second option was equally dangerous; not only would she face attacks from sea kings but also other dangers.

At the bottom of the sea, if something goes wrong, no one can help you.

Therefore, Charlotte felt undecided about whether to go to the first half of the Grand Line.

These dangerous things are torture for her.

But after much reflection, Charlotte decided to go out to sea first.

She didn't necessarily have to go to the first half of the Grand Line, but leaving the island and avoiding Shiki the Golden Lion, buying time, wouldn't be a problem.

As for Ratti Island's safety, Charlotte wasn't too worried.

Although Shiki the Golden Lion had caused her many problems, his name was also an invisible protection for Ratti Island.

The name of Shiki the Golden Lion is not in vain, enough to intimidate many pirates with bad intentions.

Except for a few senseless ones, but these are extremely rare and irrational.

"Lina, go notify everyone and organize the departure to sea."

Lina nodded and quickly went to give everyone the good news.

Charlotte stayed with her head resting on one hand, looking resigned.

What kind of nonsense is this?

Everything was fine before, but since she met Shiki the Golden Lion, her life has become unstable.

Can't provoke him and can't avoid him either?

Under Charlotte's orders, the members of the Hiberfield pirate crew, with great enthusiasm, began to act quickly.

They filled the ship with food, water, weapons, medicines, and personnel. Everything had to be fully stocked on the Hiberfield!

After all, this departure to sea would probably be long, without a clear return, and in these circumstances, it's easy to encounter unforeseen problems.

The New World sea is not friendly!

On this departure, the giant Dahl had to stay on the island to prevent the invasion of careless small pirates, and Ivan also stayed to maintain the situation on Ratti Island.

As for Zaga Lido and Zaga Rin, one was completely occupied designing and building on Ratti Island, and the other only wanted to stay there to do research.

Neither of them was interested in other things.

They can be said to be very pure and worthy of being father and daughter.

If it weren't really necessary, Charlotte wouldn't want to go to sea even in dreams.

Shiki the Golden Lion is too troublesome, sooner or later, he would drag her into it too.

Of course, Charlotte also made certain plans for this departure, she wasn't going to waste time.
