Chapter 1839 Charlotte and Yim (5)
Charlotte's heartbeat involuntarily quickened. He stared at Im with wide eyes, feeling uneasy.
Yim's tone was so certain, as if he had seen this pure gold with his own eyes.
"If I'm not mistaken,"
Yim continued, his eyes fixed on Charlotte.
"You should have found this pure gold!"
These words were like a flash of lightning across the night sky. Charlotte's heart suddenly shook. He felt that his secret was completely revealed at this moment.
His face turned very ugly, his lips trembled slightly, but he couldn't say a word.
Charlotte was shocked by Yim's guess, but also realized that he seemed to have no secrets in front of this seemingly ordinary old man.
Charlotte's silence had already given the answer. The corners of Im's mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
"Those five idiots have been trying to kill you through time, just like they did to Whitebeard."
Yim shook his head, seeming a little disdainful of the behavior of those five people.
"I never thought that you are also an immortal!"
Charlotte's face became increasingly gloomy. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms.
"What do you want to say?"
Charlotte finally couldn't help but speak, his voice carrying a hint of wariness.
Yim looked at Charlotte, the smile on his face did not disappear, but became even gentler.
He waved his hand, signaling Charlotte not to get excited.
"Young man, you have to be patient!"
Her tone was like that of an experienced elder teaching a younger person.
What was unexpected was that just because of this sentence, Charlotte's inner defenses collapsed completely like a flood.
You know, he is almost sixty years old now and has lived most of his life, yet there are still people who treat him as a young man!
It is undeniable that compared with Im, an old monster who has lived for who knows how many years, Charlotte is indeed still young.
After all, nearly sixty years old is just an insignificant moment in the face of Im's long life journey.
Seeing Charlotte remain silent, Yim shook his head helplessly, then took the initiative to speak: "Over the years, there are actually only one and a half people who can surprise me. And you are one of them. As for the other half, it is Whitebeard. However, compared to Whitebeard, your ambition is much greater!"
Yim stared at Charlotte with a look of emotion in his eyes.
Then, Yim slowly looked around. His gaze seemed to be able to transcend the limitations of space and take in the entire new world.
Finally, his gaze rested on Kami Island, and he said thoughtfully, "As far as I can remember, the latter half of the Grand Line has never been as peaceful as it is now. The people here live and work in peace and contentment, and their lives are truly a remarkable achievement. In comparison, those five so-called 'wastes' are simply vulnerable!"
Im's words were full of admiration for Charlotte and contempt for the five "trash".
Im looked at Charlotte with a smile on his face and eyes full of anticipation, as if he had already seen Charlotte's glorious future after becoming a Celestial Dragon.
He opened his arms, as if showing Charlotte a world full of power and glory, a world that only the Celestial Dragons could enjoy.
Yimu's voice was low and magnetic. He slowly said, "Charlotte, you have always longed to rule the world, and now this opportunity is before you. Join us and become a Celestial Dragon. You and your Rockefeller family will become the twentieth Celestial Dragon family in Mary Geoise, and you will enjoy endless honor and glory for generations to come."
He paused briefly, then continued, "Not only that, I can also appoint you as the leader of the Five Elders, making you directly loyal to me. You will possess supreme power, rule this world, and become its god!"
Im's words were like a powerful magic that entered Charlotte's ears, making his heart tremble.
This tempting proposal made Charlotte a little tempted.
After all, becoming a Celestial Dragon and possessing such great power and status is something that many people dream of.
However, Charlotte did not respond to Im immediately.
Although he was somewhat shaken in his heart, his reason told him that there might be huge risks and costs hidden in this.
He needs time to think and weigh the pros and cons.
Becoming the twentieth Celestial Dragon family in Mary Geoise means that one can enjoy endless wealth and glory for generations, possess boundless power, and even ascend to the throne of the Five Elder Stars, thereby controlling the entire world.
Such attractive conditions would make anyone tempted.
Charlotte was no exception. He admitted that he did feel a little shaken at that moment.
However, when his eyes fell on Im's arrogant and domineering appearance, the desire in his heart was instantly replaced by reason.
Charlotte slowly lowered his right hand, which was originally placed behind his back, as if this action was of great weight.
Just as his right hand touched his waist, a cold light suddenly flashed, and the Seven Star Sword appeared in his hand like a ghost.
The sword body flashed with a heart-pounding cold light, and the terrifying power was like a volcano about to erupt, continuously pouring out from the sword body, as if it was going to swallow up the entire world.
Charlotte's eyes became extremely firm. He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and stared at Im without any fear.
"I always like to say 'no' to those self-righteous guys!"
Charlotte's voice was like thunder, echoing throughout the world, deafening.
Before he finished speaking, Charlotte's aura suddenly erupted like a volcano.
The powerful aura was like a torrent, sweeping over with overwhelming force, instantly tearing the surrounding space apart.
The sky and the earth could not help but change color in the face of this terrifying momentum. The wind was howling, lightning was flashing and thunder was roaring, as if the whole world was trembling because of Charlotte's anger.
"Excalibur~God-defying!"
Charlotte shouted softly, and suddenly a light as dazzling as the sun burst out from his body.
The light was like a burning flame, hot and violent, enveloping him completely.
At the same time, the Seven Star Sword in Charlotte's hand also made a buzzing sound, as if echoing the momentum of its master.
The terrifying sword intent was like surging waves, continuously gushing out from the sword body and rushing straight into the sky.
Without hesitation, Charlotte swung the Seven Star Sword in his hand violently. In an instant, light flowed like a meteor across the night sky.
The boundless sword energy was like a huge net covering the sky and the earth, enveloping Im at lightning speed.
