One Piece: Establishing a Pirate Family

Charlotte looked at the incoming shells and reached for her waist.

A swipe!

The longsword was drawn, and a beam of light swept towards the opposing pirate crew.

Looking at the soaring white sword light.

Paul and Isaac both watched this scene with fervent eyes.

This is the dream of countless swordsmen.

Chapter 83 The Legend of Asca Island

Charlotte's sword strike was just a normal slash.

It wasn't covered in Armament Haki or Conqueror's Haki; it was just a simple slash from a great swordsman.

But this ordinary slash instantly overwhelmed the incoming shells.

"This is?"

The opposing pirates were loading cannonballs while staring dumbfounded at the slash that nearly split the sea in two.

Even the pirate captain stared wide-eyed at the slash in disbelief.

Before he could even cry out in surprise, the slash arrived swiftly in front of the ship.

The ship was sliced ​​open in an instant, like tofu.

"Holy crap! Boss, you just destroyed the ship like that?"

Paul watched Charlotte split the boat in two, somewhat speechless.

Charlotte glanced at him.

"Aren't you going to split it open and keep it for the festival?"

Charlotte sheathed her sword and continued lying on the deck chair without looking back.

"Forehead?"

Paul watched as Charlotte returned to the recliner, closed her eyes to rest, and didn't know what to say.

Are you suggesting he go check if there's any treasure on the other ship?

As the other ship slowly sank into the sea, all Paul could do was pray for them, hoping they would be reborn into a better life.

Paul sheathed his sword and turned away from the sinking ship.

On the ship that Charlotte had cleaved in two with her sword.

"Damn it! Who on earth is that person?!"

The captain of the pirate ship stood on the broken hull and roared as he watched the other ship sail away.

"Captain! Quick! Get to the small boat!"

The first mate, standing on a small boat, yelled at the captain, who was still standing on the hull.

The captain glanced at the ship, now broken in two, and glared at it fiercely.

"I don't care who you are! I, Hart, will remember this grudge. Don't let me find out who you are!"

After saying that, Hart immediately fled into the sea and swam toward the first mate's small boat.

After boarding the ship.

"Come on!"

Hart said to the first mate.

Because he knew that the small boat simply couldn't hold that many people.

He had no choice but to abandon his crew.

The first mate was taken aback by the captain's words, but quickly recovered and hurriedly rowed the boat away from the area.

"Captain! We haven't boarded yet! Wait for me!"

The pirates who had fallen into the sea saw that their captain wanted to abandon them and shouted loudly.

But Hart paid no heed.

"asshole!"

The pirates who witnessed this scene cursed angrily.

But they had no choice but to cling tightly to whatever could hold them and make them float.

He ignored the angry shouts behind him.

For Hart, these pirates were just expendable resources; as long as he announced his name, a large number of pirates would follow him.

Therefore, he never lacked these low-level pirates.

"Damn it!"

Hart slammed his fist on the wooden boat and said angrily.

He wasn't lamenting the loss of the crew members behind him, but rather the loss of the empire he had painstakingly built, which vanished in an instant.

……

We sailed at sea for a month!

"Boss! We've reached Aska Island!"

Upon hearing this, Charlotte, who was fishing by the sea at the edge of the boat, hurriedly threw down her fishing rod and rushed to the bow of the boat.

After drifting at sea for a month, we finally arrived at Asca Island.

My beloved Seven Star Sword, your master has arrived!

Charlotte stood at the bow of the ship, filled with anticipation.

Looking forward to the surprises the Seven Star Sword will bring.

As they drew nearer, Charlotte spotted a flag on the island.

The seagull flag—that's the naval symbol. It's surprising to find a naval unit stationed here.

Charlotte looked at the flag and thought for a while.

"Disguise yourselves as merchant ships and don't reveal your pirate identities. Understand?"

Charlotte looked at the group of excited crew members and said.

He didn't want to reveal the province at this crucial moment; he wanted to wait until he obtained the Seven Star Sword.

Even if we destroy this naval base, it won't matter!

Paul and his group all nodded when they saw Charlotte's serious expression.

It's rare to see their boss so serious, so of course they'll abide by the rules.

I don't know why the boss came here.

But you can still see the seriousness in the boss's expression these past few days.

The ship slowly approached!

It did not cause any disturbance in the port area.

Because this harbor is surrounded by ships coming and going.

This island looks quite prosperous; no wonder there's a naval base here.

Charlotte stood at the bow of the ship, touching the beard she had just stuck on, and thought to herself.

To avoid revealing his identity and causing a commotion, Charlotte even specially glued on a golden beard.

He has become more mature and has acquired a bit of the air of a big businessman.

The ship docked and the steps were lowered.

Charlotte was the first to disembark.

Those around him, seeing his magnificent clothes, golden beard, and wealthy appearance, knew that another merchant had arrived.

As Charlotte gazed at the bustling port and the towering mountain at the heart of the island, she couldn't help but recall the island's legends.

Thousands of years ago, the island's inhabitants were terrified of the appearance of the red full moon. To dispel their fear, the gods bestowed upon the island's inhabitants a shield and a sword.

But tragedy also occurred.

Legend has it that the three princes of Aska first met a beautiful witch and fell in love with her at the same time. In order to win the witch's love, the three princes took out the swords bestowed by the gods to prove their thrones, namely the Seven Star Sword.

And war broke out. The earth and sea wept because they absorbed the grief of countless innocent victims. Then, the Holy Sword Seven Star Sword, which had absorbed the resentment and blood of countless people, attracted slaughter and destruction, and became a cursed demon sword.

The cursed sword, which brought about the complete destruction of the Aska Kingdom, instigated repeated battles through blood sacrifices. Wars spread throughout the sea, and the beautiful ocean became a world ruled by darkness.

Then, in order to save everyone from the war, the priestess sacrificed her life to erase the blood and hatred absorbed by the Seven Star Sword.

To avenge the death of their beloved priestess, the three princes prayed to the gods and received three precious stones from the gods of Asuka, which sealed away the power of the Seven Star Sword, which would become a demon sword.

However, on the night of the once-in-a-century red full moon, the sealed demon sword will gain power and awaken to slaughter and destruction, unleashing its demonic energy.
