One Piece: Establishing a Pirate Family

Douglas then spoke to Charlotte.

Then, under the watchful eyes of the four, he led the way.

Charlotte was deeply troubled. "Barrett! My future ally, you're not going to escape my grasp!"

The more Xia Luoyue thought about it, the more excited she became, and even Elena, who was holding Xia Luoyue's arm the whole time, could feel it.

It was rather strange; what was wrong with Charlotte? She was behaving very unusually!

Although it was a little strange, Elena didn't ask any questions and quietly followed Charlotte's side.

The five of them walked out of the main street and into the depths of Jalzburg.

There are no towns or houses here, only rows upon rows of military camps.

All the soldiers were carrying out their basic training in an orderly manner.

Charlotte looked around as she walked.

Meanwhile, Don was quite proud as he introduced Charlotte to him.

"These are all my soldiers, the elite of the kingdom! Almost every one of them is a veteran who survived countless battles!"

After listening to Tang En's words, Xia Luo could also sense that these people did indeed have a faint killing intent, and each person had a different kind of killing intent.

But one thing is certain: all of these people have killed someone.

"Excellent! No wonder it's a nation where war never ends!"

Charlotte nodded slightly.

These soldiers are indeed quite good; they basically resemble the elite marines of the Navy Headquarters.

Upon hearing Charlotte's praise, Don also smiled.

He could be proud to receive such praise from someone who is famous all over the world.

Even if this person is a notorious pirate who strikes fear into the hearts of many.

However, during this time, Don also got to know Charlotte and found that she was not as wicked and cruel as the Navy described her to be.

This is probably another deliberate smear campaign by the Navy against Charlotte.

Along the way, Elena finally saw where all the men and children in this place had gone!

Almost all of them were in this giant military camp.

This made Elena feel somewhat disgusted when she looked at General Don.

Looking at these soldiers, each one either had a numb expression or stared at the crowd with a brutal look in their eyes, the destructiveness in their eyes was terrifying to behold.

The same was true for the children; their expressions were divided into two extremes.

One is numbness, the other is madness.

This is disdain for death.

Charlotte frowned as well, feeling his arm being gripped tightly. He glanced at Elena's expression.

He couldn't help but sigh.

Elena is too kind, but kindness is a good thing!

As they passed through the numerous military camps, thanks to the presence of General Tang En, they encountered no one who came forward to check them along the way.

Don's face is the pass to the entire military camp.

Soon! Charlotte and her two companions were taken to Douglas's camp.

"Please wait a moment, sir! I'll gather my Boy Scouts right away!"

Douglas led Charlotte to an empty platform and began to speak.

Charlotte nodded, standing on the high platform and looking at everything around her.

Apart from a few adult male soldiers, the place is almost entirely filled with children; a rough scan reveals that there are more children than soldiers.

Moreover, these children all looked to be in their eighties or nineties, and they made up more than half of the entire military camp.

But Charlotte did not see Barrett.

Chapter 113 You shall be called Barrett

Whoosh!

A sharp whistle rang in Charlotte's ears.

Douglas blew the assembly whistle!

The whistle rang out quickly throughout the camp, and upon hearing it, all soldiers, no matter what they were doing, quickly assembled on the parade ground within five minutes.

Charlotte looked at the rows of soldiers standing proudly in front of her, weapons in hand.

Line up in a square formation in front of you.

This made Charlotte feel a sense of admiration for Captain Douglas.

Regardless of his future reputation, his unique method of training troops is something few can achieve.

Looking at these groups of square formations.

The difference is clear.

One column consisted of boy soldiers, and the other column consisted of adult soldiers.

These are very easy to distinguish; you can recognize them at a glance.

Charlotte focused her gaze on the two boys, Fang Lie.

At a glance, I spotted that outstanding figure standing out among the teenagers.

In the youth camp, where most people are less than 1.5 meters tall, there is a young boy who is nearly 2 meters tall standing in the line, and he stands out at a glance.

Charlotte looked at him without any attempt to hide her gaze.

The boy seemed to sense something and looked up at Xia Luo.

Their eyes met, and Charlotte was certain that this was the Douglas Barrett he was looking for!

Barrett might not be called Barrett yet, but rather a code name. The Ninth Bullet Soldier was also staring intently at Charlotte!

He looked at Xia Luo with an equally imposing aura.

This made Charlotte smile.

He waved to Captain Douglas, who was on the ground, signaling him to come up.

"Him! He's the person I'm looking for! Bring him here!"

Charlotte said in a voice that brooked no refusal.

Douglas immediately recognized who Charlotte was pointing to by following her finger.

Upon seeing that figure, Douglas immediately frowned.

"What? No?"
