One Piece: Establishing a Pirate Family

Earl Red's brow twitched when he heard Charlotte's words!

"Are they strong?"

The Red Earl had only heard them talking; they had never actually fought against each other and didn't really know much about it.

"Strong! Absolutely terrifyingly strong, each one of them is like a monster. Even now, I might not be able to beat them, but of course, that's only temporary! I'm only twenty years old now. In a few more years, when my body is fully developed, I'll fear no one!"

Charlotte said proudly and confidently.

Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Count Red couldn't help but smile.

"And where is your captain?"

Hearing that Charlotte only mentioned the officers but not the captain, Earl Red asked with some curiosity.

When Captain Rocks was mentioned, Charlotte fell silent!

"If you trust me, then don't challenge Rocks. At the very least, don't challenge Rocks until you've reached your peak in the next few years. All I can say is that he's very powerful! So powerful that even the World Government doesn't dare to start a war easily!"

Seeing Charlotte's serious expression, Earl Red nodded solemnly.

Charlotte still caught the fighting spirit in his eyes, but she didn't want to persuade him any further and continued chatting with Earl Red.

"Of course, the New World isn't just about the Rocks Pirates, which have formidable fighting power. There's another pirate crew that's also very strong, though not quite as strong as the Rocks Pirates, but still top-tier: the Roger Pirates. Captain Roger, first mate Rayleigh, and combatant Jabba are all renowned powerhouses."

Charlotte explained this to Earl Red.

"Roger Pirates!"

Red Earl had obviously heard of this pirate crew, but it seemed that this pirate crew was being chased around by a vice admiral from the Marine Headquarters every day, which meant they were quite powerful.

Seeing the disdain in Earl Red's eyes, Charlotte immediately spoke up.

"Don't underestimate the Roger Pirates. None of them are Devil Fruit users; they rely on physical skills and swordsmanship. Their captain and first mate are both great swordsmen, and veteran ones at that. Their combatant, Jabba, is also a great swordsman, though he uses an axe. He's incredibly strong!"

Seeing Charlotte's serious explanation, Earl Red nodded, but the disdain in his eyes did not disappear.

That makes sense, though; the solitary red one isn't afraid of anyone.

Charlotte had said all she needed to say, and whether the Red Earl listened or not was none of her business.

The reason Charlotte said so much was simply because she had a good impression of the Red Earl.

The Red Earl also has a very good impression of Charlotte.

After all, he couldn't hear any thoughts from Charlotte. This conversation only made the Red Earl feel relaxed, a relaxation he had never felt before.

"I've said everything I needed to say about the new world. Let's continue with the next match!"

Charlotte swiftly pulled out the longsword stuck in the sand.

Chapter 61 Sword Competition

Look at Charlotte's actions!

Count Red smiled slightly and stepped back slightly, returning to the position of his umbrella.

He reached out and pulled the umbrella out of the sand.

"Then let me see your swordsmanship!"

The Red Earl said I lunged forward and slashed down with my sword.

clang!

Charlotte's sword, which was held horizontally above her head and was enveloped in Armament Haki, clashed with Red Earl's umbrella, which was also enveloped in Armament Haki.

The Red Earl's swordsmanship danced, and streaks of sword light formed before Charlotte! An umbrella appeared as a phantom before Charlotte.

Charlotte squinted. His eyes couldn't keep up with such fast swordsmanship. This was the moment to unleash his Observation Haki.

Under the influence of Observation Haki, Red Earl's swordsmanship appeared clearly in Charlotte's mind.

They quickly blocked the shadows of the umbrellas.

clang!

Clang!

Dangdang Dangdang!

The weapons clashed incessantly, their blades, imbued with Armament Haki, flying in a flurry of sword energy.

"Excellent swordsmanship!"

Charlotte praised him while blocking the way.

The Red Earl's swordsmanship is characterized by its unpredictable speed and swift movements, with his figure flashing wildly. It is all about being tricky, fast, and ruthless!

This swordsmanship, which specifically targets a person's weakness, was something Charlotte had never encountered before. From the start, Charlotte was unable to keep up with the pace and was put on the defensive.

But once you figure it out, it becomes easier.

"Yours is good too!"

The Red Earl spoke in unison, his eyes filled with fighting spirit as he looked at Charlotte.

After practicing swordsmanship for so many years, this is the first time someone has been able to keep up with his rapid swordsmanship.

Moreover, Charlotte's swordsmanship follows a bold and expansive style, which perfectly complements my own swordsmanship approach, and sparring with Charlotte can also be very beneficial for me.

clang!

After the initial contact, Charlotte deliberately distanced herself from the Red Earl.

Charlotte was at a disadvantage in close combat with the Red Earl.

"Crack the ground!"

Charlotte unleashed a sword aura that cleaved the ground, heading straight for Count Red.

When the Red Earl saw the slash, he did not choose to dodge. Instead, he also unleashed a sword aura that cleaved the earth and collided with Charlotte's earth-shattering strike!

Bang!

The two slashes collided, causing a violent explosion.

The energy generated around them blasted a hole at the point of convergence!

"Great swordsman!"

Steel Bone Sky, who had been watching the battle, exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the two unleashing their slashes.

Sengoku also stared at the screen with a solemn expression.

"Two great swordsmen! And Charlotte must have broken through after her battle with Zephyr, and has now become a great swordsman!"

Unlike Kong, Sengoku didn't make a fuss; instead, he calmly analyzed the situation.

Bang!

"Damn it! Who is this powerful expert?!"

The thought that another great pirate like Charlotte might emerge in the future filled Kong with anger.

At that moment, Lieutenant General Tsuru walked over with a set of documents in his hand.

"I've found out the identity of this Red Earl. He only became a wanted criminal in the last two years, and I've also found out the reason why he became a wanted criminal. He killed a notorious nobleman and was put on a bounty by the Navy Headquarters!"

Lieutenant General Tsuru handed the documents to Steelbone Sky and said.

Steel Bone - Results File After Listening!

Bang!

"Damn it! How dare this nobleman be so insolent!"

Upon seeing what the nobleman had done, Steelbone Kong slammed his fist on the table in anger.

"Do they think our navy is too idle, labeling someone like this as a pirate?!"

The Warring States period was also indignant.

Lieutenant General Tsuru was also helpless after seeing the expressions on their faces.

"What's done is done. The Red Earl's bounty has already been issued, and it's impossible to take it back now. The World Government won't withdraw the warrant for the sake of the Navy's reputation either. Now let's think about how to deal with him!"

Lieutenant General Tsuru rubbed his temples and said.

“That’s right! Vice Admiral Tsuru is right! Shouldn’t we start thinking about how to deal with Red Earl now? Judging from his contact with Charlotte, he might want to join the Rocks Pirates. We should deal with this uncertainty as soon as possible!”

Sengoku looked at Steelbone Sky and said.

Steelbone Kong was also somewhat troubled after hearing the words of his two top strategists.

Because the Navy Headquarters simply doesn't have the manpower to deal with this Red Earl.

One person alone cannot deal with him.

He could certainly take action, but he is a Marine Admiral and the Supreme Commander, and cannot easily leave Marineford. Last time, the entire Marine Corps was mobilized, and the Five Elders almost executed him.

Therefore, he absolutely cannot leave the Navy Headquarters unless there is an emergency.

He glanced at Sengoku again, realizing that he wasn't confident Sengoku could defeat the Red Earl in a short time.

Moreover, Charlotte is nearby, and there's a chance they might make a mistake, which is absolutely unacceptable.
