Chapter 231
It is the year 1490 of the Kaien calendar.
A year has passed in a flash. In this year, except for a deal with the World Government at the beginning of the year, he has not been out. He has really become a complete homebody.
But the only thing that can make Charlotte happy is.
Elena and the other six girls are pregnant again.
One shot and six shots!
It is also worthy of Charlotte's pride.
During this period, the Rockefeller Pirates have been consolidating the newly occupied territory.
The resources on those islands are very rich.
Various mineral resources are continuously transported to Kami Island, which has once again accelerated the construction of Kami Island.
And with it comes the shortage of manpower.
Today, the Rockefeller Pirates will wander the sea every day, attacking and capturing pirates as coolies.
When encountering some tough guys, Barrett will also do it himself.
Today, the Rockefeller Pirates have grown to a size of 4,000 people.
It has doubled.
Because of the expansion of the territory, various mineral resources are constantly flowing in, and the tax revenue of Kamei Island is increasing day by day.
Now the tax revenue of one month is enough to feed an army of 4,000 people.
That's right! It's the army. Although Charlotte is still under the banner of pirates, he has gradually moved from pirates to a kingdom internally.
He began to consciously train his subordinates.
And these subordinates are talents carefully selected by Charlotte.
Most of them joined because they admired Charlotte's reputation, and they were attracted by the world's number one swordsman.
The rest were rescued from the slave trade at sea in recent years.
Most of these people had their families broken up. After being rescued by Charlotte to Kamei Island, some of them joined the Rockefeller Pirates.
These people are the main force of joining the Rockefeller Pirates.
He did not recruit pirates everywhere like Shiki the Golden Lion, as long as they were pirates.
Today, the Flying Pirates of Shiki the Golden Lion have grown rapidly after the Navy gradually reduced its surveillance.
The thirteen captains under his command are all well-known pirates with bounties of hundreds of millions in the New World.
This has gradually expanded his power to the center of the New World, and will soon border the sea area of Charlotte Linlin.
I don't know why, but there has been no conflict between the two sides until now.
The Whitebeard Pirates have also seen a surge in their strength in the past one or two years, and have received countless adopted sons and affiliated pirate groups in the second half of the New World.
The power under their command has also successfully exceeded 10,000.
They have officially entered the club of 10,000 pirate groups.
You should know that there are only three people with a strength of more than 10,000.
One is Shiki the Golden Lion, the other is King John's Silver Axe Alliance, who is relying on Rocks' treasure to make a living, and the third is Edward Newgate the Whitebeard.
Apart from these three, no pirate group has a number of more than 10,000.
The closest one is only Charlotte.
There are 4,000 combatants under his command, and these are only the subordinates led by the captain.
In addition to the troops led by Charlotte himself, in addition to the 400 to 500 maids, Charlotte has selected young and talented pirates from various squads in the past year and incorporated them into his exclusive command.
There are a total of 500 people.
They are all swordsmen, led by five swordsmen who can make flying slashes.
These are the elite of the Rockefeller Pirates.
It is called the strongest swordsman group.
Everyone here is carefully selected by Charlotte.
And led by people who have been promoted to swordsmen.
These swordsmen have also joined Charlotte's command for two or three years. Under Charlotte's careful guidance, they have finally been promoted from swordsmen to swordsmen.
This is something that everyone envies.
Swordsmen! One in a million.
These five swordsmen are Dick Roy.
Brian Turner.
Andy Nelson.
Boris Hodge.
And Elvis Lauer.
Among them, Elvis Lauer was the major general who surrendered to Esdeath in the naval battle.
After being taken into the coolie camp as a prisoner, he was rescued from the coolie camp by Esdeath.
Because the last battle was not over at all, Esdeath has always been upset.
Originally, Lauer did not want to fight with Esdeath, because he knew that Esdeath was the eldest daughter of the Rockefeller family, and there was no benefit in winning her.
Instead, it would offend those who wanted to curry favor with Esdeath or the Rockefeller family.
After all, it is easy to see the King of Hell, but it is difficult to deal with the little ghost, right?
However, after hearing that if he won, Esdeath would ask her father to show mercy and let him go.
Lauer decisively agreed to the battle.
Nothing is better than freedom.It's important.
The two sides fought again, and many people went to watch this battle.
Including Charlotte, who was bored, also went to watch.
In the battle, Esdeath still showed her extremely tricky swordsmanship, which made people dazzled.
But she never hurt Raoul from beginning to end.
Raoul swung his sword with great force.
The huge force made Esdeath unable to get close to him.
This made Esdeath more and more impatient.
And when you are impatient, there will be trouble.
This gave Raoul the opportunity to sweep the sword and knock down Esdeath's long sword.
If you compare swordsmanship, how can you compare without a sword? Esdeath lost this game.
But Esdeath was not discouraged!
After losing the game, she promised to let him go and promised Raoul.
But after Raoul regained himself, he knelt on one knee and bowed his head to Charlotte.
Ask for his loyalty.
This made Charlotte, who had been watching the show, stunned.
Why did he kneel down for no reason?
After hearing his request, Charlotte glanced at Esdeath and nodded in agreement.
Agreed to his loyalty.
In the previous battle, although the swordsmanship was a bit rough, it was also a force that broke through all tricks, and it had its own style.
And he had already seen that the opponent's swordsmanship had reached a bottleneck, and as long as he broke through, he would be a swordsman.
This made Charlotte accept him with peace of mind.
He was included in his own swordsman group.
Then Charlotte spent a few days on him.
Instructing him in swordsmanship and mental cultivation.
Let him successfully break through to the realm of swordsman within a month.
Became one of the few swordsmen in the Rockefeller Pirates.
This is the second swordsman under Charlotte.
The first is Stanley.
As Rauel broke through to the level of Sword Master, the swordsmen who had been relaxed once again burst out their potential.
In the 1489th year of the Haiyuan calendar, they broke through to the level of Sword Master one after another.
By the 1490th year of the Haiyuan calendar, there are already eight Sword Masters under Charlotte.
In addition to those five people.
Isaac and Paul, who have been with Charlotte for eight or nine years, have also been successfully promoted to Sword Master.
Seeing the continuous improvement of the strength of his subordinates, Charlotte couldn't stop smiling.
