Chapter 9

The old man was very happy.

Ever since the Barbarian Bear Pirates invaded the town and were all killed by Charlotte.

The whole town knew that there was a hero in their town.

"Mr. Charlotte, do you want to eat oranges?"

As Charlotte walked in the town, all the townspeople looked at him kindly.

Looking at Charlotte, the aunts and uncles looked at Charlotte with smiles on their faces.

Charlotte helped them drive away the pirates and saved everyone on the island, which made them grateful to Charlotte from the bottom of their hearts.

If it weren't for Charlotte's action, the town would have suffered a devastating blow.

Not only these townspeople, but also the merchants in this town and the merchants passing by were full of gratitude to Charlotte.

Because Charlotte protected their property, this alone made them grateful to Charlotte.

Seeing so many people expressing their gratitude to him, Charlotte felt a little embarrassed.

"No, no! This is what I should do."

Charlotte waved her hand quickly.

This feeling is pretty good.

Martha and the five maids followed Charlotte and looked at everything around them with curiosity.

Their previous kingdom, called a kingdom, was just a small island with a population of more than 10,000 people, and the island was barren, without even a decent port, resulting in the island not even having merchant ships.

Naturally, it was not as prosperous as here!

"Mr. Charlotte!"

Charlotte walked into the port, and the people around him bowed and greeted him.

Charlotte also smiled and nodded.

Charlotte walked into the port where three pirate ships were parked.

The pirate flag on it had been torn down.

Looking at these three somewhat shabby pirate ships, they were still very small, only 50 meters long.

"Ivan, does our town have a shipbuilder?"

Charlotte turned to ask Ivan.

"Boss! Our port is dedicated to serving the merchant ships. Of course there are shipbuilders, but they are not the top shipbuilders. They can only build small boats and do repairs."

Ivan explained.

Charlotte touched his chin after hearing this. He planned to go to sea at the age of 18. At that time, he must have a better ship, otherwise he would be like Luffy, sitting in a small wooden barrel and going to sea. That was not the life he wanted.

"How much money do we have in our account? How much does it cost if I want to build a ship?"

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

"Boss, it depends on how big the ship you build is. A ship under 50 meters costs only 50 to 60 million Baileys, and a ship over 50 meters costs about 100 million Baileys. If it is over 100 meters, our town cannot build it at present. Of course, it also depends on the materials. If the materials are good, it is normal for the price to double."

Ivan analyzed to Charlotte.

Charlotte stroked his chin and listened to Ivan's analysis.

"How much do we earn per month now?"

Charlotte asked, and he found that he was still short of money.

It was only a year before he went to sea, and he had to build a ship that could sail in the second half of the Grand Line within this year.

"With a total monthly income of about three million Baileys, there is about two million left after deducting expenses, and the bulk of this is your food expenses!"

Ivan said.

Charlotte looked at him in shock when he heard that his food would cost almost one million, and asked him to give an explanation.

Seeing the boss's puzzled look, Ivan smiled bitterly.

"Boss, your daily meals are either sea kings or wild beasts in the mountains. These need hunters to hunt and we buy them. This requires a lot of Bailey, otherwise no one is willing to go to the sea or the mountains to hunt!"

After hearing Ivan's words, Charlotte was silent. He had to spend nearly one million on food a month. If he added the equipment he used for training, there would be little money left for this month's expenses. How could he build a ship?

"Let me take care of the food in the future, and you don't have to buy it anymore!"

Charlotte decided to hunt sea kings in the sea by himself. This would also achieve the effect of training, but it would be more dangerous. If he didn't do this, he would be broke sooner or later.

"Yes! Boss!"

Ivan nodded.

"Renovate these three pirate ships. They will be my fishing boats for hunting sea kings in the future. Hurry up and renovate them."

Charlotte said to Ivan.

"Yes!"

Ivan bowed 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 sword in hand, facing the layers of

, Charlotte kept swinging his arms.

Just to cut through the barrier in his heart.

This training lasted for five months.

During these five months, Charlotte did nothing but swing his sword towards the sea.

I don't know why, but swinging the sword day after day really made him famous.

The sword flashed.

Charlotte swung out a ten-meter-long flying slash.

Looking at the ten-meter-long slash along the beach, Charlotte was about to cry.

After swinging the sword for a year and a half, he finally made a name for himself.

Has he reached the realm of a swordsman?

His strength is almost at the level of an ordinary vice admiral.

Except for not knowing the Armament Haki, Charlotte believes that he can even touch a vice admiral.

Powerful power, the swordsman's signature flying slash, and the observation Haki that can cover a thousand miles, and his observation Haki can predict the future and read minds, as well as this domineering Haki, but the domineering Haki has never been revealed since it was released last time, but Charlotte is not discouraged, it is sooner or later that he can control it.

Now that he has mastered the flying slash, Charlotte is overjoyed.

Holding a long sword, he slashed at the beach wantonly.

"Hahahahaha!"

Looking at the entire beach being plowed by himself, Charlotte could no longer hold back his inner joy and laughed wildly on the beach.

And this scene was seen by the five maids standing on the beach.

They all looked at Charlotte with a radiant glow, their eyes full of admiration.

After Charlotte swung another slash, he sheathed the sword.

Back to the beach.

"Young Master!"

Each of the five maids served Charlotte with towels and other items.

Charlotte wiped the sweat off his face with a towel!

"Let's go! Go home!"
