One Piece: Establishing a Pirate Family

This time, Charlotte felt it much more clearly.

This strike contained a powerful will.

"Is this the path to becoming a great swordsman?"

Charlotte ignored the rapidly approaching cross-shaped sword energy in the sky.

"will?"

Charlotte's mind instantly conjured up images of his relentless cultivation and battles since his transmigration.

And they also have their own dreams.

"What is my dream? Is it to be the King of the World? Or the World's Greatest Swordsman?"

"No, no, no! None of that! My dream is freedom! To sail freely on this vast ocean, protecting those I want to protect!"

Charlotte's eyes suddenly lit up, and his Conqueror's Haki unconsciously erupted once again.

"My will cannot be interfered with by others!"

Charlotte's aura suddenly erupted, and she swung her sword at Shiki's cross-shaped slash.

Bang!

At the critical moment, Charlotte's sword cut off Shiki's attack.

Chapter 42 The Great Swordsman

"Hahahaha! I knew I wasn't wrong!"

Shiki the Golden Lion looked at Charlotte's actions and said.

Charlotte's attack just now has officially entered the realm of a great swordsman.

From this day forward, the world will have one more great swordsman, and Charlotte's nickname will become Charlotte the Great Swordsman of Blood.

"Hoo~!"

Charlotte took a deep breath, feeling the power within her body, and smiled.

He became stronger again.

He advanced to the level of a Great Swordsman.

"Hahaha! Kid, your talent is truly enviable!"

Shiki the Golden Lion slowly descended and landed on the bow of Charlotte's ship.

Charlotte did not stop him.

"I have to thank you, Shiki! If it weren't for that attack of yours that made me realize what I wanted, I don't know when I would have been able to break through to the Great Swordsman level!"

Charlotte laughed.

"Hehehehehe! No need to thank me! No need to thank me, all I need is for you to help me once in the future, of course, it can be something within your ability, and you can refuse!"

Stark stood beside Charlotte, looking at the sea, which had returned to calm.

Charlotte frowned slightly after hearing Shiki's words. He hated owing favors, but he really did owe this one.

And it was his initiative.

He was able to break through the Greatsword Master's emotions.

Seeing Charlotte frowning, Shiki didn't care at all.

"Remember this! Kid, in the future, all you need to do is help me once when you can, and that'll be the end of it!"

Shiki floated up again, flying towards Beehive Island, his voice still lingering in the same spot.

Charlotte fell into deep thought after watching Shiki leave.

What will he make you do?

Judging from what Charlotte did to him in later generations, could it be that she helped him rule the world and become the king of the world?

Impossible! Impossible! Rocks is still alive! Even if he were to become the King of the World, it wouldn't be his turn.

Could it be? Is he going to betray Rocks?

Charlotte could only think of this clue, after all, Shiki had no idea that Rocks would be killed by Roger and Garp in God Valley two years later!

The more Charlotte thought about it, the more convinced she became that this was it.

Moreover, judging from Shiki's actions in recent years, he is increasingly dissatisfied with Rocks. Not only him, but even Whitebeard rarely returns to the island.

He spends his days on a boat adrift at sea, returning whenever Rocks summons him.

"It seems it's time for the Rocks Pirates to disappear!"

The thought that the Battle of God Valley was only a year away brought a renewed sense of urgency to Charlotte's heart.

After all, with Rocks dead, the seas would definitely be in chaos.

The uncertainty surrounding the position of maritime hegemony will drive countless people crazy.

The seas only began to calm down after the appearance of the three legendary pirates, but this peace was short-lived. With the surrender of Pirate King Roger, the seas were thrown into chaos again, but this time the chaos was directed at the Navy.

The three future admirals of the Navy have not yet grown up, and the Navy's strength is still very weak. That's why the Rocks Pirates have been defeated and driven out of the New World.

However, the period after Rocks' death and before the formation of the three legendary pirates was extremely dangerous.

Steel Bone Sky will be promoted to Fleet Admiral, Sengoku Zephyr will be promoted to Admiral, and Garp will remain Vice Admiral because he refused to be promoted.

But it would be ridiculous to think of Garp as just a vice admiral.

A Marine hero who can chase after the Pirate King in the future—oh! He's not a hero yet, but that doesn't diminish Garp's strength.

Although he has never dealt with Garp as a member of the Rocks Pirates, the information he received from Whitebeard and Shiki suggests that Garp is incredibly powerful.

Neither of them gained any advantage from Garp during their battles, and both of them ended up with swollen noses and faces after each fight.

Of course, Garp didn't have it easy either! They also said that Garp would get beaten up like a pig's head every time.

Judging from the strength of Shiki the Golden Lion and Edward Newgate the Whitebeard, Sherlock Holmes would at least be no match for them.

Therefore, when Charlotte is pursued by the Navy led by Garp in the future, she will definitely be no match for them.

Thinking of this, Charlotte felt a sense of urgency.

He can only barely manage a draw with Zefa now.

"The future!"

Annoyed, Charlotte swung her sword, instantly splitting the sea in two.

This is Charlotte's current strength.

Looking at the sword in his hand, Charlotte shook his head; it was still too weak.

He wanted a good sword, but unfortunately, the good swords in the pirate world were mostly samurai swords or rapiers.

Charlotte wasn't used to using this kind of thing, and his treasury still contained a Western sword he had captured.

It is ranked among the twenty-one Great Swords and is called the Sacred Judgment.

A Western-style sword that is both incredibly sharp and somewhat luxurious.

Even without Armament Haki, Charlotte's sword, which he had made himself, couldn't withstand a single blow.

They all broke down.

Of course, Charlotte also thought about raising a black sword himself, which would be covered with Armament Haki and eventually become a black sword.

But it's unclear how long this will take.

Charlotte had also tried, but unfortunately, due to the nature of the battle, even though he was shrouded in Armament Haki, he was still cut in half by a weapon covered in the same Armament Haki.

All of this is because Charlotte's Armament Haki is not strong enough.

Despite Charlotte's mastery of all forms of Armament Haki, his low strength meant he could still be overwhelmed by Armament Haki stronger than his own.

Charlotte experienced this firsthand during her battle with Zephyr.

This is also something Charlotte will continue to train on.

However, the best way to train Armament Haki is to fight against someone with the same Armament Haki, as this is the most effective method.

Otherwise, the effect would be far too poor.

You can't practice hard on your own.

However, it all depends on the situation. Charlotte hasn't found a punching bag to train with yet.

So let's think about our weapons first.

"I seem to remember encountering a good sword during Luffy's voyage, but it seemed to be a cursed sword."

Okay, in One Piece, swords and blades are indistinguishable.

"That demon sword seems to be called the Seven Star Sword, and it seems to be in the first half of the Grand Line."

"Looks like I'll have to go to the first half when I have some free time. I think the island is called Aska Island. I'll have to ask someone about it!"

When Charlotte thought of finding someone, she immediately thought of Xia Qi. As the navigator of the Rocks and an informant in the underworld, she should know the location of Aska Island!
