One Piece: Establishing a Pirate Family

Charlotte curled her lip in disdain after hearing Hoyle's words.

He was already wanted, and he was a notorious pirate with a bounty of 950 million Berries. Why would he be afraid of a bounty?

For him, the higher the bounty, the greater his fame and popularity, which is not a bad thing.

One kick shattered Hoyle's skull, and the world fell silent.

Charlotte let out a soft sigh.

I felt a sense of relief wash over me, and the pent-up frustration in my heart vanished.

This made Charlotte very happy.

Looking at his blood-soaked clothes, Xia Luo ripped off the layer of clothing he was wearing.

A nobleman nearby pulled a brocade robe and draped it over himself.

"Ryder, are you going to take a bath?"

Charlotte raised an eyebrow at the Red Earl standing by the stands.

Upon hearing this, Earl Red raised an eyebrow and sniffed his own body, finding it reeking of alcohol.

He then thought for a second and nodded.

"Hahahaha! Let's go!"

Charlotte kicked open the back door of the auction house.

All that remained was a scene of devastation in the auction house, and corpses strewn all over the ground.

There were also some survivors who were frightened and hid under chairs.

These survivors were undoubtedly lucky; they lived, and Charlotte did not exterminate them.

"Gone! Have they left yet?"

A trembling figure in the corner raised its head, looked around, and said softly.

Although the sound was very soft, it was crystal clear in the quiet auction hall.

"Let's go! Shall we go?"

Some of the bolder ones also looked up, and after seeing that the god of death was nowhere to be seen, they said uncertainly.

"Run! Run! I never want to come here again!"

A disheveled nobleman rushed toward the auction house entrance after Charlotte disappeared.

As soon as he ran, everyone ran after him.

Bang!

The doors were opened, and the survivors rushed out, scrambling and stumbling as they ran out of the auction house.

Judging by sight, there were about fifty people.

It's important to know that nearly three hundred people participated in the auction, meaning that over two hundred and fifty people were massacred by Charlotte, not to mention those who arrived later and the people already at the auction house.

These people survived thanks to Charlotte's momentary kindness.

Seeing so many nobles scrambling out of the auction house, those gathered around gasped in astonishment.

It is truly rare to see those nobles who were once high and mighty now living like beggars.

The auction house was quickly emptied.

Only Wells and his navy remained at the auction house.

Wells stared blankly at the scene before him, not even noticing that Charlotte had left.

"How could this happen? How could this happen! How could he be so cruel? Why was he so cruel!"

Wells stared blankly at all the corpses on the field and muttered to himself.

"Major General! Major General!"

After seeing Charlotte leave, the colonel, noticing his major general's expression, called out in a low voice.

His mental fortitude is actually better than that of Major General Wells.

Wells ignored him and continued muttering to himself.

"Your Excellency, Major General!"

When the colonel saw that Wells did not react, he shouted into his ear.

"Ah! Huh?"

Upon hearing such a loud noise, Major General Wells immediately regained his composure and looked at the colonel.

The colonel swallowed hard.

"Your Excellency, the pirate Charlotte has left. Shall we give chase?"

The colonel asked, forcing himself to be brave.

He didn't want to chase after her. After witnessing Charlotte's frenzied slaughter, his legs trembled whenever he mentioned Charlotte's name.

"Chase them! We definitely have to chase them!"

Wells instinctively replied immediately after hearing his deputy's words.

But Wells paused for a moment after he finished speaking.

"Wait! Let me make a phone call first!"

Wells pulled a Den Den Mushi from his pocket.

But when they took it out, they found that the Den Den Mushi was still unconscious, foaming at the mouth, and could not be contacted at all.

"What should we do?"

Major General Wells muttered anxiously, holding the Den Den Mushi.

Being unable to contact headquarters is a major taboo!

"Your Excellency, Major General!"

Seeing Wells's anxious expression, the colonel spoke up from the side.

"Ok?"

Wells glanced at his deputy.

"Send someone to keep watch from a distance first. Once the Den Den Mushi is restored, report to Navy Headquarters whether or not to follow!"

Wells looked at the colonel and said.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Wells's words, the colonel immediately stood at attention and saluted.

Then he went out and gave instructions to his men.

He heard everything clearly; they were going to take a bath, and all he had to do was keep watch from outside the bathhouse.

After seeing his deputy leave.

Wells plopped down in the chair, his back soaked with sweat.

After Charlotte entered the back area, all the slaves locked in cages looked over.

They all looked at Xia Luo with hopeful eyes.

They heard everything Charlotte had just made in the front hall.

Cries and pleas for mercy were heard everywhere.

They were certain that the screams were caused by the man in front of them.

Upon arriving at the backstage area, Charlotte immediately sensed a deathly stillness, which made her very uncomfortable.

After looking around, Charlotte walked straight toward a cell where a little girl was being held.

This surprised the Red Earl.

Charlotte arrived at the cage.

When the little girl saw Charlotte, she instinctively shrank back, as if that would give her a sense of security.

Charlotte smiled at her, and then, under her dazed gaze, ripped the noose off the cage.

Then he walked away without looking back.

They walked toward the next iron cage and tore apart the cages that held the slaves one by one.

Charlotte didn't open the cage for them; she simply broke the lock that bound him.

The only way to leave is to push open the iron cage yourself.

Charlotte did this so that they could open up a world of freedom for themselves, instead of just being trapped in a cage.

After doing all this, Charlotte returned to Earl Red's side.

"Let's go!"

After saying that, he took Earl Red and left.
