In an instant, Heitan Muchan's old face trembled and revealed a look of shock.
Lina's eyes were dangerous, and Charlotte's words clearly meant that the other party had a rare devil fruit ability and was going to use sinister means in secret.
She is the user of the Lucky Fruit and knows very well how terrifying some special Devil Fruit abilities are.
"What a great Black Charcoal Family! They are challenging our Heberfil Family."
Lina's words were full of dissatisfaction and threats.
The two people from the Kurozumi family were sweating profusely. Now the Kurozumi family neither controlled the Wano Country nor had strong external aid. If they really offended the Heberfil family, their bloodline would be completely cut off in a minute.
"Lord Xia Luo, the Kurotan family has absolutely no such intention, absolutely no such intention!"
Heitan Muchan spoke repeatedly, "I really can't afford to offend you!"
Charlotte tilted his head slightly, tapping the table with his fingers, as if considering whether to keep the two old guys now. He really wanted their devil fruits.
Every gentle knock made their hearts stop.
This is the base camp of the Heberfil family. All they know is that there are many experts here. Moreover, such a powerful family must have hidden unknown powers.
Even a declining family like the Kurozumi family has four devil fruit users.
It can be said without exaggeration that this place is a den of dragons and tigers.
"That won't do! If I let you off so easily, what will happen to the dignity of my Heberfil family?"
Charlotte's tone was neither hurried nor slow, but the strong murderous aura in his voice made people shudder.
"We are willing to make amends. I heard that Lord Charlotte loves to collect swordsman's sword skills. I have a copy of the sword skills handbook of the great swordsman of Wano Country, the dragon-slaying warrior, and the "Sword God" Lord Shimotsuki Ryoma. I am willing to use it as a gift of atonement."
Charlotte's expression moved slightly.
The legendary dragon-slaying warrior who had never been defeated in his life was revered as the "Sword God" by later generations. It's a pity that he had died long ago and could not fight against him!
His swordsmanship notebook is indeed precious. It contains the swordsmanship of a great swordsman and is extremely valuable to the Heberfil family.
After weighing the pros and cons, Charlotte finally did not choose to take action immediately.
"Yes, I am satisfied. Let's go!"
After the words fell, the two men put down their sword-fighting notebooks, stood up respectfully and left without any intention of staying.
"Charlotte! What are you thinking about?"
Lina looked at Charlotte, who was staring at the members of the Heitan family as they left, and asked.
Charlotte shook her head. "I just thought that this Black Charcoal Family is a bit interesting."
I would like to seek some suggestions because my poor performance is my personal problem, but as a newcomer I hope to get some feedback. I hope that friends who are interested can give a book review or leave a message directly. I want to know specifically why I feel that it is not good or interesting... This is also what I want to learn, so that I can present better works to everyone in the future.
Thank you everyone, I hope those who like it will support it.
Chapter 212 Underground King
Hall of Flowers!
Charlotte looked at the two visitors with some surprise. They were none other than the famous kings of the underground world.
The old store owner in the warehousing industry, [Hide Master] Kiberson, and the shipping king in the transportation field, [Deep Ocean Current] Umit.
One whose main business is cargo warehousing, and the other controls deep-sea shipping. It can be said that their strength may not be able to compete head-on with the Great Pirate Group, but their power and network of relationships cannot be underestimated.
These underground kings are not simple characters.
Umit is wearing a big pirate hat and a big black beard, a classic pirate outfit.
Another Gibson classic pirate beard, wearing a long blue and white plaid shirt, and has a sturdy build.
Seeing Charlotte's arrival, the two underground kings also bowed in a humble manner, "Master Charlotte, hello."
"The arrival of the two kings of the dark world also surprised me!"
Charlotte spoke lightly. He was indeed a little surprised by the visit of these two guys.
The two looked at each other and smiled. As the kings of the underground world, they knew too well the various popular trades of the Heberfil family.
It can be said that the economy here is extremely prosperous and the Heberfil family itself possesses terrible power.
This is enough to show that Heberphile Charlotte is not only a powerful monster but also a wise and brave leader.
How can such a family not be powerful? After all, the top strong people prefer to speak with fists, which is quick and convenient.
However, the Heberfil family not only has the strength to take root in the new world, but also has various balanced rules that are conducive to business development.
This is a rare and good strategy, and one should admire its long-term vision for development.
“We hope to establish the new world’s shipping and warehousing headquarters here.”
Charlotte was a little surprised. Could it be that these two guys had joined forces? And shouldn’t their partner be one of the future Four Emperors, Charlotte Linlin?
In a flash, Charlotte seemed to understand the key.
Now the prototype of Charlotte Linlin's world has begun to take shape, with Cake Island as the center and radiating to the surrounding islands, which is referred to as the Totland Sea in the New World.
But the influence is not as great as the future influence.
His Heberfil family not only has the Golden Lion as its backer, but is also very powerful itself.
In the short term, this development potential is indeed the best in the new world.
Charlotte just shook his head secretly. It seemed that the future was bright and the glory was limitless, but it was also precarious and at risk of collapse at any time.
But he also had to admire the determination of these two guys. This was no ordinary decision!
This means that nearly 70% of the cargo transported by these two companies in the New World has to pass through here. If there is a problem, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Charlotte didn't care about anything else, the commercial tax was enough to bring them huge returns.
He had no reason to refuse this, as these two companies were of great help to the Heberfil family in transporting various goods.
It is a mutually beneficial result for both parties.
Originally, he also wanted to establish some power in the underground world, but unfortunately he did not have enough people to take responsibility and the manpower required was too huge.
The Heberfil family still lacks talent, so he gave up the idea.
We can use the connections of these two people to slowly infiltrate the underground forces.
The underground forces themselves have close ties with all forces.
"Okay, I agree. You and Ivan will coordinate the remaining details of the agreement!"
As Charlotte finished speaking, Ivan, who had been waiting for a long time, came out with a gentle attitude.
"Hello, everyone. I am Ivan, a cadre of the Heberfil family. I am in charge of this business. Please follow me."
When the two underground kings heard the name, they didn't dare to neglect it. This was a senior cadre member of the Heberfil family and an original member. They could not afford to underestimate him.
Especially when the opponent is a Devil Fruit user who has the nickname Iron Man.
"It is a great honor to meet Mr. Ivan."
"Haha, that's too polite."
The three of them got along quite well, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
As he spoke, Ivan had already led the two to other meeting rooms to discuss the specific contents of the agreement.
A businessman has to act like a business man, and doing business has to be done by the meticulous Ivan.
Professionals do professional things.
Charlotte was very satisfied with Ivan's performance. He couldn't stand so many troublesome conditions and felt overwhelmed.
Besides, he is the symbol of the family's military deterrence, and all he needs to do is keep getting stronger.
Charlotte lit a cigarette and her thoughts became clearer.
He realized an important problem: the Heberfil family's military force was still not strong enough.
Nowadays, the Heberfil family is a popular commodity in the eyes of many forces.
The countdown to the fall of the Golden Lion is also on the horizon, so he needs to go one step further.
Charlotte Linlin is the first of the future Four Emperors to have a fixed territory, although it is still far from being developed.
The trend of the times has arrived, and no one can escape the gears of fate.
He didn't want the Heberfil family to become the target of public criticism because of their huge wealth but lack of sufficient strength.
In order to deal with the future moves of various forces.
He needs to make more plans and preparations, especially to improve his strength.
"Charlotte, what's wrong with you?" Lina, who had just arrived, looked at Charlotte who was in a daze and asked.
"Nothing, by the way, you are done."
Charlotte looked at Lina in surprise.
Since returning to Lati Island, Lina has been either training the maids or drawing nautical charts, and has not been with him for a long time.
"almost."
"Oh! By the way, Charlotte, I heard that you recently asked Ivan to collect some ordinary animal-type devil fruits."
Charlotte nodded. With their current financial resources, it would not be difficult to deal with ordinary animals as long as they spread the news through the underground world.
However, they are probably all mediocre animal-type devil fruits, and most of them probably don’t have much combat power.
Charlotte naturally had no aversion to this. The more the better. Maybe trash could be turned into treasure.
He knew very well that there was still a possibility of "awakening" of devil fruits.
If the animal-type devil fruit can be awakened successfully, the development of the fruit's ability will be even more powerful.
Even the originally ordinary animal system will receive a huge improvement.
First and foremost is the super strong vitality. The body becomes extremely resilient and can recover quickly even after being knocked down many times, commonly known as "sit-ups", which is quite terrifying.
Secondly, you can also magnify the specialties of your own "animal" after awakening, greatly enhancing your combat power, and your appearance may also become dreamy. It can be said to be the most suitable fighting series.
However, he hasn't met such a person yet.
Calm Charlotte looked at Lina with some curiosity, “By the way, why are you asking this?”
