One Piece: Establishing a Pirate Family

They also plowed out more than a dozen deep furrows on the beach.

However, these gullies were quickly washed away by the rising seawater.

After casually unleashing a few more sword strikes, Charlotte slowly relaxed.

It has that feeling of a period of profound reflection.

Then Charlotte's eyes narrowed again.

From Charlotte's center, an aura instantly erupted from Charlotte's body.

This is Conqueror's Haki.

After the last outbreak, Charlotte never used it again, not because she didn't want to, but because she couldn't control it.

Unexpectedly, it was released again by some twist of fate.

Charlotte quickly composed herself and focused on sensing the Conqueror's Haki within her body.

I want to remember this feeling so that I can control it.

Chapter 14 Training Subordinates

a long time.

Just as his Conqueror's Haki was about to disappear, Charlotte's eyes suddenly snapped open.

An invisible aura erupted once again centered on Charlotte, and this time the Conqueror's Haki was even more intense than before.

The waves were shaken up and rippled.

The coconut leaves on the beach were also shaken and swayed.

Charlotte looked at the sea fish that had been stunned by her Conqueror's Haki and laughed heartily.

"I'm such a genius."

With a thought, Charlotte instantly withdrew her Conqueror's Haki.

The surroundings returned to calm.

Only the sea fish that were knocked unconscious by the waves and washed ashore knew what had just happened.

"Hahahaha, I have finally mastered the control of Conqueror's Haki. I have taken another step closer to becoming a strong person."

Charlotte swung her longsword wildly.

Sword energy slashes appeared continuously on the beach.

The length of the sword energy also seemed to have increased.

Upon witnessing this scene, I couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

He continued to swing relentlessly until he was completely exhausted.

……

Time slowly passed as Charlotte trained.

Charlotte had originally planned to set sail at eighteen, but plans changed, and her ship wasn't ready yet, which was very frustrating.

We can't just let Charlotte sit in a barrel and set sail like Luffy.

Charlotte was unwilling.

Moreover, the seas have been quite turbulent these past few months.

Because of the rampage caused by the Rocks Pirates, there are now a great many pirates on the seas.

Nowadays, roughly every month, a pirate crew will come ashore to rob the port.

Instead, many people were killed by Charlotte, and the bounty was paid out.

The bounty money was always collected by Xia Luo's underlings, and no one paid any attention to Xia Luo himself.

And because Charlotte was cleaning up the pirates.

This island is very safe.

Furthermore, as it became a transit point for sea freight to Umis, the area also became prosperous.

The population on the island has gradually increased, from more than a thousand five years ago to more than seven thousand now, several times over.

These people were all refugees from the latter half of the New World, and some were rescued by Charlotte.

Chamberlain, one of the Sea King's subordinates, changed his attitude towards Charlotte the moment he witnessed Charlotte's methods of killing pirates. He would consult Charlotte on everything, which annoyed Charlotte to no end.

Finally, Ivan was brought out and asked to discuss it with him.

And because the number of pirates is increasing.

We can't let Charlotte fight every pirate on her own.

In the latter half of last year, Charlotte selected more than fifty talented subordinates and used his Observation Haki to sense them all as his loyal followers.

Charlotte decided to dedicate one day each week to training them.

These people were either Charlotte's brothers or slaves whom Charlotte had rescued.

They all trained under Charlotte and are now quite skilled themselves.

Even five or six ordinary pirates couldn't get close.

Even the Six Styles of the Navy have been mastered by some people, with one or two techniques learned.

These people will be Charlotte's help when she sets sail.

Another group of people were also arranged by Charlotte to learn some nautical knowledge.

Charlotte asked Chamberlain for help in resolving this issue.

He was a subordinate of the shipping tycoon.

He must have known quite a few navigators, doctors, and shipwrights.

The navigator was the most important, so Charlotte had Ivan select a few of his trusted men to learn from the navigator, and also recruited a few doctors for Charlotte's dozen or so maids to learn from.

Over the past few months, Charlotte has rescued many slaves who had been sold into slavery, including a large number of female slaves. Many of them were homeless, so Charlotte arranged for them to serve her.

Needless to say, the boatmen and cooks were also indispensable.

The island has all the necessary resources; with a single command, more than a dozen boatmen and cooks can be gathered instantly.

Navigator, cook, and shipwright—these three are essential personnel for going to sea.

Charlotte has all of these.

Only the boat remained.

Charlotte originally only planned to build a ship that was a little over fifty meters long.

Because of insufficient funds, Charlotte's Beli also increased rapidly as the number of pirates grew.

Charlotte no longer cares about those protection fees.

Chamberlain also expressed his support after learning that Charlotte was building a ship.

He knew Charlotte was not what was in the pool.

He has killed more than a thousand pirates in this year alone.

He also reported this matter to the shipping tycoon.

The shipping king immediately expressed his interest in Charlotte.

I collected information about Charlotte and saw that she was only eighteen years old.

He sighed inwardly, realizing that a monster had appeared.

He then instructed Chamberlain to be on good terms with Charlotte, but not to reveal his identity.

Thus, Chamberlain supported everything Charlotte wanted.

If Charlotte needed a navigator, he recruited one for her; if she needed materials, he provided her with the best available.

Although it's not the highest grade Adam Tree, it's still the best material besides Adam Tree.

Charlotte saw that she had all the funds, materials, and shipwrights, so she simply waved her hand.

Build a huge ship that is 100 meters long, 20 meters wide, and 30 meters high.

The ship is currently under construction in the port and is estimated to be completed in about a year.

There was no other way; there were simply too few boatmen. The entire island had only about 7,000 people, and there were only about 70 boatmen.

Only about twenty people were involved in building the ship for Charlotte.

Charlotte wasn't in a hurry.

He has mastered Armament Haki.

These days, he spends his days either training his underlings or practicing Armament Haki.

My days have been quite fulfilling.

As for how he mastered Armament Haki, that story begins three months ago with a group of pirates.
