One Piece: Establishing a Pirate Family

With four sons and three daughters, the Rockefeller family was established.

Chapter 153 The Prosperous Cameo Island

"Dad! Dad! When are we going out to sea?"

Charlotte was resting in the living room with a cup of tea when she heard a loud, boisterous voice coming from the doorway.

Charlotte shook her head; she knew who it was without even thinking!

"Has Esdeath finished her homework for today?"

Charlotte didn't answer Esdeath's question, but instead asked about her studies.

"It's finished! It's been finished for ages! Dad, when are we going to go out to sea?"

Esdeath asked, lying on Charlotte's lap.

"So you really want to go to sea?"

Charlotte gently rubbed Esdeath's head and said softly.

"Dad! You're a pirate! As a pirate, how can you not go to sea! I'm going to fight!"

Esdeath rolled her eyes at Charlotte, then raised her little fist and swung it a few times in the air.

"hehe!"

Charlotte smiled after hearing Esdeath's words, and then considered whether or not to go to sea.

Thinking of the commotion on the high seas, Xia Luo pondered for a moment. He was confident in his strength and feared no one. Going to sea was just a matter of his own decision.

"Alright! Since you want to go to sea, Dad will take you out to sea to broaden your horizons!"

Charlotte stroked Esdeath's head and looked at her, saying this.

"Great! Let's go out to sea and kill pirates!"

Esdeath pumped her fist excitedly and said.

"Huh? Your dad's a pirate too!"

Charlotte was both amused and exasperated. Sure enough, no matter the reason, pirates were always a detestable force, and in their subconscious, they believed that all pirates should be killed.

"hey-hey!"

Esdeath smiled after hearing this, then got off Charlotte's lap and ran towards the door.

"I want to tell Uncle Paul this good news; they'll be so happy!"

Esdeath said as she ran.

Charlotte smiled slightly upon hearing this. Sure enough, it turned out that Paul and the others couldn't hold back any longer.

After a year of rest, it's time to go out and show off, otherwise people will think that he, the Great Swordsman of Blood, is just a name without substance.

Throughout the year, Charlotte's island was frequently attacked by pirates.

It was only thanks to Charlotte's group of men that the invading enemy was repelled.

These pirates are either after the island's prosperity or eyeing Charlotte's head.

However, Camille Island, where Charlotte lived, was indeed incredibly prosperous.

Previously, during the Rocks era, the latter half of the New World was ravaged by Rocks, and many people fled to the first half.

Charlotte's Camille Island is located in the center of the New World. Many people escaped to this island, and those who were able to escape were those who had some savings, in addition to the island's location and Charlotte's reputation.

Many wealthy businessmen, tourists, and people from the underworld come to this island.

In particular, the arrival of the four kings of the underworld—the shipping king, the loan shark king, the newly emerging festival queen Stussy, and the intelligence king Morgans—has given the island an even stronger business environment.

Almost everyone who wants to enter the first or second half of the New World will pass through Cameo Island.

Firstly, it's for safety, given Charlotte's presence; secondly, it's for commercial freedom.

Charlotte positioned the island as a free port with very low tax rates.

This makes the island far more prosperous than one might imagine.

Because the island wasn't big enough, Charlotte even personally leveled the mountains.

That's right, it was leveling. A punch imbued with Conqueror's Haki instantly shattered into fragments.

There's no way around it! Camee Island is just a small island, only a little over 20,000 square kilometers (equivalent to half a bay), of which 90% is mountains and mountainous areas.

Charlotte treated it as a boxing practice; one punch would cause a mountain to collapse.

This shocked many people who didn't know how amazing Charlotte was.

This scene was witnessed by many people.

Even the newspapers in Morgans published it, along with photos and videos.

This also allowed people all over the world to directly experience just how terrifying the strength of the great pirate with a bounty of 1.2 billion was.

This was a very powerful campaign that terrified countless people.

After all, how powerful these great pirates were in the past was only described on paper, how many people they killed and how many people were injured or killed, but there was no direct understanding of it.

But Charlotte's demonstration caused a huge uproar around the world, which made the Navy Headquarters realize the important role of propaganda.

They immediately organized experts, such as Garp, who was originally supposed to take a vacation, but was asked by Fleet Admiral Steelbone Kong to film a promotional video.

In the video, Garp is surrounded by dark red lightning, leaps into the air, and shatters an island with a single punch.

This made the whole world aware of how strong Garp, the naval hero, was and why he became a naval hero.

The world-destroying power of that punch made those who wanted to become pirates shrink back during that period.

Of course, Shiki the Golden Lion wouldn't remain indifferent to something so outspoken.

A master swordsmanship combined with the Float-Float Fruit, and the backdrop of destroying a kingdom.

That was incredibly arrogant; it was filmed and sent to a newspaper in Morgans, along with a bullet.

Morgans knew perfectly well what this meant, even with his toes.

Despite the World Government's objections, it was sent out the very next day and distributed throughout the world.

Morgans was more afraid of someone barefoot than someone wearing shoes.

This plunged the world into panic once again, with pirates setting sail in droves, leaving the Navy, which had already been suppressed, in a state of utter chaos.

The Five Elders even gave Kong a death order: capture Shiki the Golden Lion and publicly execute him!

Of course, after the order was issued, the navy did not take any action.

The problem was that Shiki the Golden Lion's fleet was all in the air, making it impossible for them to attack.

As the fighting progressed, they ended up in the Calm Belt, at a time when the navy had not yet developed ships capable of navigating it.

This made Shiki the Golden Lion's name resound throughout the world once again.

Captain of the Flying Pirates, Pirate Admiral Shiki the Golden Lion.

After countless pirates set sail and entered the New World, they all joined the Flying Pirates.

If we're talking about who's been in the spotlight the most lately, it's undoubtedly Shiki.

Meanwhile, Shiki the Golden Lion's bounty was also rapidly increasing, reaching 2.36 billion Berries, surpassing Whitebeard and second only to the Roger Pirates.

It can be said that Charlotte changed Shiki the Golden Lion, bringing his original power forward by several years.

It can be said that Charlotte ushered in the era of short videos in the One Piece world.

This also increased Charlotte's bounty to $1.57 billion, even though he never left his house.

This made Morgans a fortune.

After all, at this time he was a media tycoon, and in a world surrounded by the ocean, selling newspaper gulls was Morgans's unique skill.

No matter where you are, you can see a seagull flying in the air, bringing the latest news to those who need newspapers.

Chapter 154 Plan to Go to Sea

Charlotte didn't set sail blindly after deciding to go to sea!

He took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed a number he remembered.

"Moses Moses!"

A puzzled female voice came from the other end.

"Shawn! Long time no see!"

Charlotte said, sitting on the sofa.

After Charlotte greeted him, there was no response from the other end for a long time.

But Charlotte wasn't in a hurry.

A few seconds passed.

"Long time no see, Brother Xia Luo!"
