Chapter 12 This is not a fuel-efficient lamp

A middle-aged man covered in jewelry and slightly fat appeared in his office.

This was the businessman. Charlotte couldn't understand the other person's intention of meeting him.

"Dear Mr. Heberfield Charlotte, you have heard of the famous name for a long time, and you dare to bother me by calling Hill Palen."

Although the other party's attitude was very friendly, he was not satisfied with what he said.

He didn't want anyone to know his name, not at all.

Hill Palen walked forward with a smile and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Charlotte politely.

Charlotte looked at the other person, reluctantly stood up to greet him, and then shook his hand.

In an instant, Charlotte felt the most real thoughts coming from the other side's heart!

"Is this young man? He's too young, a little unbelievable?"

Forehead? Charlotte was speechless for a while. What does he have to do with you if he is still young?

Seems to be underestimated?

But it’s good to arrive this way.

"Hello Mr. Palen! Welcome, Mr. Palen, don't you know why you see me?"

Although Charlotte was confused, she asked directly.

"Haha! It's okay, it's okay. I just came to your place for the first time and wanted to pay homage to the heroes of the town. I wanted to get to know him by the way. I would like to ask Sir Charlotte to take care of him in the future."

Palen and Charlotte held hands, spoke impassionedly, and a look of excitement appeared on their faces.

"Young man, I am Lord Gilbertson, the Warehouse King's right-hand man. I hope you will be obedient and sensible, so as not to affect the plan."

Charlotte was startled by the sudden voice in her heart.

Sure enough, life depends entirely on acting, and this acting alone will probably put countless people to shame.

Warehousing King?

Charlotte was a little surprised when she learned that the other party was the Warehouse King.

This is one of the famous underground kings of the dark world!

"Mr. Charlotte, I heard that you are planning to expand and renovate the harbor, but you are encountering some difficulties. If you need help, just ask."

Palen said with a kind face, very grand.

"Thank you very much for Mr. Palen's kindness. It's just a small problem, so don't bother me."

The old fox couldn't hide his tail anymore. Charlotte remained calm and refused with a smile.

"Humph, you ignorant boy, if you weren't afraid of creating complications, you would have to obey me even if you were a local snake."

Feel what the other person is thinking.

Charlotte narrowed her eyes slightly and let go of the other party's hand. Palen didn't think much about it.

"Then don't disturb Mr. Charlotte. I still have work to do, so I'll leave first."

Palen spoke warmly, and her words were impeccable. This performance was very deceptive.

"See you later, Mr. Palen."

The two of them were like two old friends who had been together for many years. They were chatting and having fun with each other.

Until Palen's figure was no longer visible, Charlotte's expression returned to calm.

His face turned sour from the fake smile. He should stay away from this kind of guy in the future. Acting is too tiring.

He really didn't expect that the people coming would be the Warehouse King's men.

The other party also knew his name, and it was indeed too dangerous to be famous.

"Boss Charlotte, this Paren seems to be a nice person!"

Charlotte looked at Ivan who looked serious, and sure enough! The guy is still too young.

This is not a fuel-efficient lamp, especially the forces behind it.

"Hmph... Don't look at that guy and laugh at him. It's not easy."

Listening to Charlotte's words, Ivan was obviously puzzled, but he immediately showed a thoughtful look.

He would not doubt that his boss' words had deep meaning. It seemed that he would have to be careful about this Parren in the future.

What did Charlotte seem to think of? Asked.

"Oh, by the way, Ivan, how's the harbor design? What's the budget?"

Facing Charlotte's inquiry, Ivan returned to his shrewd and capable state.

"Boss, it will take some time for Mr. Rady to design the drawings."

"But..."

Um... nothing.

Charlotte looked at Ivan angrily, why did she still create suspense when speaking now?

"The money difference is too big!"

"Okay, I'll figure it out!"

Charlotte nodded, really helpless.

Even in the world of One Piece, money cannot be avoided.

"By the way, how about the treasure map I asked you to redraw?"

When Ivan heard this, his eyes gleamed, and he knew at a glance that his money-obsessed personality was showing up again.

"It has been completed according to the ratio of 1:1 and has been brought."

As he spoke, Ivan took out a brand new drawing.

Charlotte took it over and nodded with satisfaction.

There is no information about the treasure map. At first glance, it is just a drawn sea map, which is extremely secretive.

The less people know, the safer it is!

Safe yuppie!

Discreet perfection!

Putting away the redrawn treasure map, Charlotte said, "Go and do your work, Ivan, I have something to do."

After saying that, he strode outside and ignored Ivan.

He had to prepare for action in advance.

…

…

"Mr. Charlotte, you are here, take a seat quickly."

In the only restaurant in the town, the owner showed joy when he saw Charlotte coming and led Charlotte to sit down.

"Mr. Baca, that's very kind of you."

Facing the humble and kind Charlotte, Baka's favor doubled. You must know that Charlotte defeated the pirates, but protected his property and life.

He was grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Baka smiled and said, "Mr. Charlotte, you are too polite. You are the hero of the town!"

Charlotte looked helpless, good guy, this matter is difficult to handle, right?

No longer entangled, Charlotte got straight to the point.

"Well, Mr. Baca, I came here today to see you for something."

Baka was stunned, but asked curiously.

"Mr. Charlotte, please tell me. I will do my best to help you as much as I can."

"I want to ask you to take a look at this map." Charlotte put the map in her hand on the table and pointed to the treasure location on the map.

"Does Mr. Baca know this place?"

Baka followed the direction of Charlotte's finger and looked over curiously.

As a businessman who often needs to go out to the island to purchase food raw materials, he could tell at a glance that this was the sea area where Lati Island was located.

After a moment, Baka muttered, "I know that place."

When Charlotte heard this, she felt happy, "I wonder if Mr. Baka knows about the situation on the island."

Baka nodded and shook his head, looking a little confused.

Charlotte, who had been observing, was stunned.

What does this mean? Do you know it or not?

"I know this island."

"only……"

What the heck are you doing? Charlotte was a little depressed. What kind of bad habits are these? Can’t you just say it all in one breath?

Will someone die?

"I have never been there, but I heard that there are hordes of ferocious beasts on this island, so no one lives there?"

"And it is said that pirates once landed on Nazuo Island, but there was no news later. It was said that they were eaten by wild beasts on the island."

Baka said slowly.

Charlotte's face was slightly solemn. He didn't expect that just a broken island could have such trouble.

Being able to kill the pirates, the beast on this island should not be weak, but I don't know how strong it is.

There seemed to be not much information about the beast in his mind.

Of course, One Piece itself has a huge world system. If it is not shown, it does not mean that there are no powerful beasts.

After all, it only tells the tip of the iceberg.

For example, there is a special creature on the island where Hawkeye lives. He has a strong ability to imitate and has learned the skill of Hawkeye's sword.

It's amazing!

"Mr. Charlotte, are you going to this island?"

Charlotte nodded, "I need to hunt some large beasts."

Baka nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Although this island is somewhat dangerous, it is not a big problem for Mr. Charlotte.

Then Charlotte asked a few questions again and left in a hurry.

The main reason is that Baka is too enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that even Charlotte feels a little overwhelmed.

Once back at the station.

Charlotte made up his mind. After all, ferocious beasts were ferocious beasts. It was not like he had never hunted them on Lati Island. As long as he was careful, it wouldn't be a big problem.

So he immediately started making arrangements.

He needs to go to the island as soon as possible, find the treasure, and reserve enough funds for the next harbor plan.

And a series of subsequent plans will require sufficient financial support.

At present, the situation is turbulent, the forces are divided, and the situation is changing. It will not be stable in the next few decades.

Naturally, he needs to plan ahead, try his best to cultivate some talents, train combatants... and make plans for the future, which all require funds.

So even if there are some risks, he still needs to take action.

Want to lie flat? There is always capital.

As long as he keeps a low profile and doesn't get noticed by the monsters on the sea, the other risks are actually not that big.

The reputation of being a small person is not harmful. Those who are truly strong rarely pay attention to this aspect.
