Chapter 6 Guarding peace with the sword in your hand

After Charlotte exposed her strength and protected the town, under the vigorous publicity of some well-intentioned people.

He, Heberfield Charlotte, became famous.

Everyone in the town knew that there was a hero in their town who defeated the pirates.

This incident made Charlotte feel a little emo, how should he keep a low profile?

If this spreads out, the consequences will be disastrous!

He swore that future battles would never be seen by anyone, otherwise it would be too troublesome to follow up.

"Mr. Charlotte, do you want to eat an apple?"

As Charlotte walked in the town, all the townspeople looked at him with kindness and admiration.

Pirates, for the most part, are synonymous with being extremely vicious.

If it hadn't been for Charlotte's intervention, it would have been easier to just hit the tofu and die by hoping for mercy from the pirates.

The children in the small town took Charlotte as an example and dreamed of becoming as powerful as Charlotte.

Because they also want to have enough power to protect their families from harm in this turbulent sea.

Seeing so many people expressing gratitude to herself, even Charlotte, who was still a little distressed, felt a little embarrassed.

And now only the residents of the town know about him, so the problem is not big for the time being, which undoubtedly makes him feel a little more at ease.

"No, no!"

Charlotte waved her hands quickly and responded.

It's really a bit troublesome. He used to be a little transparent, doing his own things in a low profile and no one paid attention to him. How nice.

But things are different now!

Lina, the waitress, has been following Charlotte for almost a month and has already become accustomed to Charlotte's humble character.

Always so gentle and sunny.

Her previous kingdom was called a kingdom but it was just a small island with a population of more than 50,000. There once was a man who was known as the strongest man in the kingdom. He was arrogant and bullied the weak, and he showed this vividly.

After the pirates appeared, they fled without a fight.

Compared with Charlotte, he is a complete coward! There is no comparison.

"Mr. Charlotte!"

Charlotte walked into the dilapidated port, and people around her bent down to say hello.

He could only smile bitterly and nod.

Soon, Charlotte approached the port where two pirate ships were parked.

The pirate flag above has been torn off and replaced with the flag of the Hiberfield family.

It was a pair of white angel wings that were closed together, and in the middle of the wings was a king's sword.

It means guarding peace with the sword in your hand.

You don't have to think about it, it's Ivan's handiwork.

Looking at these two old pirate ships, they are still very small, only fifty meters long.

Even so, the only port on Lati Island seems a bit small.

"Boss, I think we need to repair the plan to expand the port!"

Ivan said extremely seriously to Charlotte.

This is Ivan's long-standing plan. If the family does not rely on plunder for its development, it will only develop shipping in the future.

This small port owned by the family did not meet the Hiberfeller family's expectations for future development.

The Hiberfield family needs a large port to collect business taxes and maintain a stable income.

Charlotte hesitated for a moment, this kind of thing would be troublesome!

A port that is too prosperous may easily attract the attention of pirates.

Ivan didn't see Charlotte's tangled look at all.

Charlotte had a headache. He understood the rationality of Ivan's question.

But he doesn’t want to do this!

It's easy for his name to spread throughout the world if he doesn't say anything about it!

How can I lie down safely?

How to say no?

"That……"

Just as Charlotte was about to refuse, he looked at Ivan's fiery look and knew that it would be difficult for him to stop this motivated guy.

That kind of hard-nosed and hot-blooded character makes people have a lot of headaches, and it is also easy to cause trouble!

"Just try it!"

Ivan was overjoyed. Sure enough, the boss was as wise as ever.

"Boss, don't worry! I've already gone to Mr. Rady to draw the drawings."

Charlotte was helpless, everything has happened, just let me know.

But it was hard for him to say anything. After all, Ivan was doing his best in the affairs of the Hiberfiler family.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have so much time to train and fish.

Anyway, as long as he is not famous and others don't notice him, it won't be a problem.

As for ports, the New World has no shortage of them either!

At worst, all you need to do is plant a flag of the Four Emperors in the future and pay some protection money. This is a common thing in the new world, and the main thing is safety.

Thinking of this, Charlotte felt reassured.

As long as he keeps a low profile and doesn't become famous, he can lie down safely.

It will also take a long time for the port on Lati Island to truly develop.

Mr. Lardy was originally the designer of this small port. He once went to sea to learn about architectural design and was a very capable old man.

Charlotte began to think about it seriously and touched her chin.

Although Lati Island is a bit remote, its geographical location is actually good. As long as there are the flags of the future four emperors to protect the safety here and set reasonable commercial taxes, it will be enough to become a shipping transfer station.

At that time, there will be a steady stream of money flowing in here to enhance their strength.

Financial resources are also a type of strength. If you want to be able to live peacefully, you must have money. If you don't have strength, you can't just eat bran and work for others!

As for pirates, they know nothing about business development.

Of course, it would be best to wear the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"How much money do we still have on our account, and how much will it take to fully implement the plan?"

Charlotte asked Ivan that he was still a little unclear about prices in the pirate world.

After all, he has always been a gangster.

"Boss, it depends on the drawings designed by Mr. Rady. The scale of the port, materials, labor, etc. all require funds. Of course, the materials must be well selected. In that case, the price will definitely not be low."

"Take the current port as an example. It originally cost 160 million Baileys."

"We only have 43 million working capital on our books, which is far from enough."

Ivan analyzed this for Charlotte.

Charlotte touched her chin and listened to Ivan's analysis.

“What is our biggest revenue?”

Charlotte asked.

You must know that 30 million Baileys were stolen from pirates.

Fortunately, there is no rush now. You can think of some ways to slowly raise funds.

This is a very good excuse to procrastinate.

"A certain amount of protection tax is charged, and sometimes there are also some commercial taxes."

Ivan said a little embarrassed.

When Xia Luo heard this, he was a little surprised. There was so little business. It had to be a miracle that he didn't starve to death.

You can also hunt, fish, and farm.

Ivan, as the head butler of the Heberfiler family, knew it very well and continued, "Also, boss, we don't have much food, especially meat."

Meat? This is an indispensable and important resource.

Charlotte struggled for a while and decided to go into the sea to hunt the sea kings. Although it was a bit dangerous, it was not far away, and the problem of low-key actions should not be too big.

Can the strong man not eat meat?

Although it is a bit risky, this can also achieve the effect of exercise, bring a certain amount of extra income to the family, and improve the quality of life!

"Have a good inspection and maintenance of the pirate ship. From now on, you will be hunting the fishing boats of the Sea King type, so hurry up."

Charlotte said to Ivan.

"Don't worry, boss, it's absolutely fine."

Ivan bent slightly and responded.

After seeing all this, Charlotte left the port, he needed training.

Arriving at the deserted beach, Charlotte stood in the sea with a knife in hand. Facing the layers of waves, Charlotte began to chop horizontally and vertically with one knife after another, just like before.

Looking for the feeling from the previous battle.

You must know that for ten years, he practiced according to the standard of Garp destroying mountains with his fists.

This was the only way he could think of. One can imagine how frightening his basic swordsmanship has become by slicing mountains day after day and slashing at the sea year after year. Now he is only missing the last step. In one step, you can step into the door of the world of swordsmen.

While he was focused on nothing else, a sword light flashed suddenly.

A flying slash more than ten meters long came out at an angle.

For a moment, Charlotte couldn't calm down for a long time.

Next, he felt it carefully and slashed repeatedly. After a long time, the feeling became stronger and stronger.

The number of slashes continued to increase, until finally he was able to issue continuous slashes.

The swordsman's iconic flying slashes can finally be activated continuously as desired.

This can be considered as reaching the realm of swordsman. Even if he is just entering the ranks of swordsman for the first time, it is enough to excite him.

As for the stronger swordsman, he is still far away, and there is still a long way to go.

Charlotte was inexplicably relieved. He could finally have some confidence in this turbulent sea.

He believes that as he continues to develop, his strength will become stronger and stronger.

Holding a long knife, he slashed at the sea again and again.

A series of flying slashes ranging from several meters to more than ten meters continued to cut the sea surface. It was not until a long time later that Charlotte slowly stopped.

Lina's eyes were filled with inexplicable brilliance, and she looked at Charlotte with admiration.
