One Piece: Establishing a Pirate Family

Now she is the captain of Charlotte's Maids.

Chapter 44 Charlotte's Subordinates

She manages the many maids on the ship for Charlotte.

There are now more than sixty maids on Charlotte's ship.

They're almost as beautiful as the crew on his ship. Even John said Charlotte's ship is practically a land of women, and every single one of the maids on board is stunning.

They're so much better than the cheap, vulgar women on the island.

The younger brother of the 7th Division Captain, Kurozumi Muramaru, was even more audacious, daring to sneak onto Charlotte's ship. After being caught by Charlotte, he was almost cleaved in two.

If it weren't for Rocks stopping him, Kurozumi Muramasa would have been dead for sure.

Even if he has the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, it won't help.

Having mastered the destructive power within Armament Haki, he could easily penetrate his defenses and strike his main body.

With his body already weakened by wine and women, Kurozumi Mujina was no match for Charlotte's punches.

However, the maids on Charlotte's ship were indeed very beautiful. After all, they were all sold as slaves, so if they weren't pretty, no one would have taken them.

But all of this benefited Charlotte. Keeping these maids didn't take much effort, and they were so pleasing to the eye, hehe~!

Nick Hume, Charlotte's ship's doctor, has been with Charlotte since she set sail. He is quite skilled in medicine and can treat any common ailment at sea. He is also a sniper with excellent marksmanship.

But he's already too old, over fifty.

He is now in charge of teaching Charlotte's maids medicine. He says that once someone can inherit his medical skills, he will disembark and return to Camille Island to retire. In order to retire, he is now teaching several carefully selected maids medicine every day.

Charlotte promised him a reward of 100 million Berries after he taught a few maids so he could live out his old age in comfort.

Charlotte's promise was incredibly important. It's rare, if not impossible, for a pirate to live out his old age in peace. Nick Hume was deeply moved by Charlotte's promise.

He vowed to do his best to teach these maids his skills, and even taught them his excellent marksmanship and medical skills.

Charlotte was very satisfied with this; he was a very reliable person.

Adolf Rudolf, a drunkard, had a hammer technique he developed on his own and was also a shipwright on Charlotte's ship.

He is incredibly strong and four meters tall. He claims that his ancestors had the blood of giants.

Charlotte recruited him from a shipyard in a kingdom, and this was the only time Charlotte actively recruited someone.

A shipbuilder encountered by Charlotte and his crew when they invaded the island; he had extensive shipbuilding experience.

After Charlotte learned about this person, she took the initiative to recruit him.

He recruited him to his cause with just a pot of wine.

Now, he repairs his ship whenever it suffers any damage, and Charlotte pays him with fine wine.

To say he joined Charlotte's pirate ship would be more of an employment relationship; Charlotte provided the wine, and he was responsible for building the ship.

As for the other two, they were both selected from the Lox recruitment fair.

Unlike Shiki the Golden Lion and John, who challenged hundreds of people at a time.

Charlotte originally didn't intend to participate and only wanted to be a spectator, but the two of them ended up acting just like the fans from her previous life.

Upon hearing that Xia Luo was a swordsman, they all volunteered to join him.

As for why it was Charlotte, they also provided an answer.

Shiki the Golden Lion is a Devil Fruit user, so he can't be considered a simple great swordsman. While Silver Axe is also a great swordsman, he uses an axe.

As for Wang Zhi? They thought he was too old, not as young as Xia Luo, and that his future was definitely not as bright as Xia Luo's.

Of the captains who followed, only Charlotte met their expectations. She was a simple swordsman without any Devil Fruit abilities, and she was also very young, not even twenty years old. Although she wasn't a great swordsman, with Charlotte's talent, she was destined to become the world's greatest swordsman in the future.

Subsequently, the two boys, aspiring to become great swordsmen, joined Charlotte's ranks.

This was something Xia Luo never expected, that he would become so famous in the swordsman circle because of this incident.

There are so many admirers.

The two men are Paul Bunian and Isaac Marlowe, who use a one-handed sword and a two-handed sword, respectively.

As for their strength, they can easily defeat weaker enemies, but they can't handle slightly stronger ones.

Moreover, he was just a swordsman who had once studied at a sword school for several years and had a very solid foundation in swordsmanship.

Otherwise, Charlotte wouldn't have accepted it.

Ever since they started following Charlotte, the two of them have been coming to Charlotte from time to time to ask her questions about swordsmanship.

This thrilled the two of them.

After all, receiving guidance from a swordsman greatly encouraged the two who were still struggling as swordsmen.

He even flaunts it everywhere.

For example, the students in the sword club before.

The students all showed envy when they heard that someone could receive guidance from a sword master.

He was even more excited when he learned that the person willing to guide the swordsman was Charlotte, the Blood Swordsman, a senior officer of the Rocks Pirates who was now famous throughout the seas.

Nowadays, there are only a handful of renowned swordsmen on the high seas.

The Great Swordsman is one of them.

But getting in is extremely difficult.

Take Roger's Pirates, for example.

Joining Roger's Pirates and getting mentored by Roger and Rayleigh is practically impossible; even finding them isn't guaranteed.

Drifting at sea every day without a fixed location, this leaves swordsmen who aspire to become great sword masters feeling utterly helpless.

As for the Rocks Pirates, they had indeed considered it. They knew that while they could die for the Dao, they couldn't just throw their lives away in vain.

Among Rocks' ruthless executives, besides Charlotte, how many are normal swordsmen?

Shiki the Golden Lion, who doesn't care about the lives of his men, or John Silver Axe King, a group gathered for treasure.

Joining them is practically suicide; any swordsman with a modicum of sense would not choose to join them.

After Charlotte opened the door, countless swordsmen, thanks to the promotion by Paul and Isaac, wanted to go to sea to join Charlotte's ranks and seek his guidance.

These people were crazy enough to want to join Charlotte's ranks in order to break through to the Sword Master realm.

It unleashes a flying slash.

Unfortunately, Charlotte didn't realize his current standing among those swordsmen.

Because he had been either killing or training for the past year, he hadn't paid attention to these things.

These are the seven most powerful people under Charlotte's command.

Each person has their own skills and usually helps Charlotte manage her crew.

It protects the ship from harassment when Charlotte is away.

After all, there are always some blind people who want to provoke Charlotte in order to become famous overnight.

Such people are everywhere on the sea, and it's impossible for Charlotte to always have to take action herself. Although it's all just a matter of one sword strike, it's a matter of face.

Chapter 45 Departure for Asca Island

"Captain! The ships are ready!"

Paul and Isaac jogged over, their faces full of flattery.

"Ok!"

Charlotte gave a faint "hmm" and walked towards the boat.

Paul and Isaac showed no reaction to Charlotte's appearance, as if it were simply how things were supposed to be.

After all, a swordsman must have a certain arrogance.

They were unaware that their captain had already reached the Great Sword Master level. If they had known, they would have been overjoyed, even more so than if they themselves had broken through to the Sword Master level.

Upon arriving at this ship, which resembled an ancient clipper ship, we found it to be incredibly fast. Ordinary warships simply couldn't keep up with it, and even a general's warship held its own against it.

Charlotte's goal this time is to go to Asca Island to get the Seven Star Sword, not to go sightseeing or anything like that. His main objective is to go as soon as possible and return as soon as possible.

Charlotte estimated that the voyage would take about five months round trip, and they would return around 1484.

Looking at the sailors on the ship, there were only about twenty people, but twenty people were more than enough to operate this ship that was less than fifty meters long.

In addition to his seven capable subordinates, Charlotte's eighth division also included more than a hundred pirate henchmen.

Some of them were members of the Wild Wolf Gang who had been following Charlotte on Cameo Island, but this group was small, and now only a dozen or so remain.

These individuals were each appointed by Charlotte as squad leaders managing ten people.

He was in charge of managing those pirate henchmen.

Charlotte entrusted these pirate henchmen to Carter's management.

I don't have much time to manage these pirate minions.
