One Piece: Establishing a Pirate Family

The captain stood on the deck and spoke loudly.

Everyone was stunned by the captain's words.

"Hahahaha! That's right! What is Whitebeard! He's just a guy who only knows how to cower in the latter half of the New World. He's not even as good as Charlotte. He doesn't deserve to be compared to Boss Shiki. Drink! Keep drinking!"

Everyone raised their glasses with great enthusiasm.

An archipelago floating in the air.

The Golden Lion sat in the main hall, unaware that his subordinates had created a great trouble for him.

"Hehehehehehe! Not bad! Not bad! The Navy has been held back by that kid Charlotte for a while now. Without the Navy's obstruction, we've made a fortune this time."

Shi Ji stood in the center of the hall, looking at the revenue reports submitted by his subordinates with satisfaction.

However, he then clicked his tongue twice.

"What a pity! Charlotte has retreated again. Our good days are coming to an end."

Shiki knew without a doubt that the Navy would stop after Charlotte returned to Cameo Island, and their attention would then turn to him.

"Boss Shiki! We now have nearly 30,000 pirates, what are the Marines compared to us!"

This pirate was clearly drunk, or perhaps he had become arrogant because things had gone too smoothly for the past two months.

"Hahahaha! That's right! What are the Marines compared to the New World? It's the world of pirates!"

Shiki chuckled as he listened to his underling's flattery.

"Prepare! Prepare! Shrink the ranks to prepare for possible naval retaliation!"

Although Shiki said that, it doesn't mean he really doesn't take the Navy seriously.

They have caused such a big commotion, threatening many member states of the World Government.

The navy will definitely not let us off so easily.

Even if we do nothing, we have to make a show of it, otherwise how will the World Government maintain the Navy's prestige in the future?

"It's the admiral!"

The surrounding pirates shouted in unison.

He then continued drinking.

Shiki looked at the newspaper in his hand, and Charlotte's picture came into view.

"Charlotte! Why won't you help me?"

Shiki never gave up his desire for Charlotte; on the contrary, as time went by and the team grew, his desire for Charlotte only intensified.

In his view, as long as Charlotte joined him, he would not be afraid of even a naval attack.

He could even do something that Rocks couldn't: completely drive the Navy out of the New World.

Charlotte had no idea what Shiki was thinking.

Charlotte is currently leisurely inspecting her territory, Camille Island.

After Charlotte's several renovations, only 10% of Cameo Island was originally habitable, while the remaining 90% was either mountains or hills.

But after Charlotte blasted the mountain and filled in the land, the usable area is now 30 percent.

After a year of development.

Even this 30% is gradually becoming insufficient.

The influx of immigrants and the arrival of various powerful forces have successfully increased the town's population from just over a thousand before Charlotte's transmigration to nearly three hundred thousand.

And this number is increasing by 10,000 every month.

People from the first half of the New World flocked to this island in a frenzy.

Especially in the last two months, the number of people has increased exponentially.

Chapter 173 Land Reclamation

The arrival of these people brought great vitality to the island, making it more prosperous.

Now Charlotte is going to continue practicing her boxing in the back mountains, and incidentally smashing up one mountain after another.

Bang!

Armament Haki covered his hands, Conqueror's Haki wrapped around his arms, and red and green lightning flashed wildly around Charlotte.

With a single punch, a mountain peak a thousand meters high collapsed with a deafening roar.

The entire island was trembling.

External ports.

A violent shockwave struck.

Everyone was terrified and lay prone on the ground.

"What's going on? What's going on? Was it an earthquake?"

A group of visiting merchants felt the tremors beneath their feet and cried out in panic.

The townspeople glanced at him, then remained lying on the ground without moving.

He stood up only after the shockwave subsided.

"Don't make a fuss! This is normal. It's probably Lord Charlotte practicing his boxing again. You'll get used to it!"

The middle-aged man next to him took out a cigarette, lit it, took a few puffs, and calmly said...

"Charlotte? You mean that pirate Charlotte?"

The newly arrived merchants were clearly not familiar with the rules, calling Charlotte by her first name on Cameo Island.

"Damn it! Who are you calling a pirate? Lord Charlotte is a very kind person. He is warm, gentle, and never fights with anyone. That so-called pirate is just a label the Navy imposed on him!"

Those around immediately refuted the merchant.

"Forehead!"

Seeing the strong reaction from those around them, the merchants wisely kept quiet.

"You just said your Lord Charlotte is practicing boxing, what's going on here?"

The customer tactfully changed the subject.

"How else can you train your fists? Of course, you should punch a mountain and smash it to pieces!"

The older man looked at him with disdain, as if he thought, "You've never seen anything like this before."

"To smash a mountain with one punch?"

The customer looked at the uncle with a bewildered expression.

Look over there!

The man tapped his cigarette ash and pointed to the deep part of the island, where a huge cloud of smoke was rising.

"See that? That's where our Lord Charlotte practices his boxing!"

Behind the town, a large mountain that had stood tall had suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Only large plumes of dust rose.

"Another mountain has been leveled!"

"Yes! This must be the sixth mountain that the island lord has leveled! He's leveling them faster than any of us are cleaning them up!"

"Yeah! Damn Charlotte! How dare she make the captain of the Dismemberment Pirates dig for rocks here! It's utterly despicable!"

A group of people dressed in tattered clothes, wearing leg irons, and carrying shovels and chisels shouted angrily.

"Shut up! You scum! Get up and get to work, clear all this rubble out of here."

A young man holding a whip roared.

These people were all pirates that Charlotte captured on Cameo Island that year.

These pirates are all after Charlotte's head and the island's wealth.

Charlotte showed no mercy to these people; once captured, they were forced to work as laborers, clearing the mountains for them.

There are now nearly two thousand pirates captured on the island.

These people were guarded and made to work by members of the Wild Wolf Gang.

The person in charge was Wolf, the captain of the second division.

Every time Charlotte blasted a mountain, these people were responsible for clearing away the rubble, filling it into the depressions on the island, or into the sea where it had previously been dumped.

Let's do a land reclamation project.

Camille Island will definitely be Charlotte's base of operations from now on; Charlotte has very high hopes for this island.

This island must be carefully developed.

Wolf stood aside watching Charlotte descend from the sky.

His eyes were filled with fanaticism.
