If it weren't for Kaidou holding him back, there would probably be another ruckus.
...
Bang!
Boom!
Thud!
Charlotte was mercilessly pounding the huge rock in front of him.
Each punch was filled with Armament Haki, and the green - black Armament Haki had already faded a bit.
This was obviously due to the consumption. After all, Charlotte's Armament Haki had never left his fists.
He had been constantly expending energy to maintain the Armament Haki.
Charlotte was actually trying to train his Armament Haki during this continuous consumption process.
Charlotte had an idea, which was to see if Armament Haki could be integrated into the bones, so that he could capture the physical form of Logia - type users even without activating Armament Haki.
However, in the past three months, no matter how hard Charlotte tried, he never succeeded.
Apparently, Charlotte's idea was a bit far - fetched.
But Charlotte didn't give up.
Maybe it doesn't work now because his Armament Haki isn't strong enough. Once it becomes stronger, he'll try again.
If a sword can be turned into a black blade, why can't a person achieve the same?
With this thought in mind, Charlotte never stopped covering his fists with Armament Haki.
As long as he has enough to eat, he won't get tired.
If you look down on the island where Charlotte is in the middle of his training now, you'll find that the island has sunken, and the ground is full of potholes.
It has become bare.
These are all the results of Charlotte's three - month training.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
Charlotte, who was in the middle of his training, suddenly heard someone calling him. He quickly stopped and looked over.
He saw his subordinates shouting from a distance of about a hundred meters away.
When he was training, no one dared to get close because they couldn't withstand the qi waves.
Except for his cadres, no one dared to approach.
Charlotte withdrew his fists, and a huge rock in front of him began to split.
"What's up?"
Charlotte walked over, and the sweat on his body flowed down his strong muscles.
"Boss! Captain Rocks is calling you over!"
This subordinate looked at Charlotte and said.
"Rocks?"
Charlotte frowned after hearing this.
"Let's go!"
After thinking for a while, Charlotte decided to go and see. When he got on the boat, he saw Paul.
"Has anything happened on Hive Island in the past half - month?"
Charlotte took the towel and wiped off the sweat as he asked.
"Yes! In fact, in the past month, Captain Rocks has been constantly summoning all his crew members to gather on Hive Island. Now there are nearly a hundred pirate crews on Hive Island, and even the subordinates of the cadres have been gathered by Captain Rocks!"
Paul looked at Charlotte and said.
Hearing this, Charlotte frowned.
"It seems that war is coming!"
Charlotte put down the towel and murmured as he looked in the direction of Hive Island.
He could already see the dense boats at the port of Hive Island.
"Hahaha! Guys! Drink!"
After a group of pirates were gathered by Captain Rocks on Hive Island, they had nothing to do and held parties every day!
"Boss! Drink!"
Almost on every boat, there were a bunch of people sitting and drinking.
"Let's start the betting!"
The gambling session is open!
Where there's drinking, there's gambling.
Under Charlotte's [Observation Haki], almost everyone's movements couldn't escape his perception.
He took a quick scan.
Good Lord! Nearly thirty or forty thousand pirates had been gathered by Rocks.
These were just the outer - circle pirates. Those pirates directly under Rocks were probably already on the island.
The [Clouds of War] hung over the entire [Hive Island].
Charlotte's small boat found a place to dock and he went ashore.
As soon as Charlotte showed up, he was recognized by many pirates.
After all, he was one of the seven cadres of [the Rock Pirates].
With a [bounty] of one billion and one hundred million [berries], he ranked in the top five in the entire pirate crew.
He was a fierce man with the strength of [The Great Blood - Sword Hero] and the title of it. He had escaped safely from [Admiral Kong] and single - handedly destroyed five countries.
The fierce man known as [The Great Blood - Sword Hero].
Even the most lawless pirates didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Charlotte.
Almost everyone shut up, afraid of upsetting Charlotte.
After all, Charlotte had a history.
He'd kill on a whim and had massacred all the pirates in front of numerous cadres, captains, and crew members.
They still remembered those events clearly!
After all, many of them had witnessed it with their own eyes.
"Captain Charlotte! The other cadres have all arrived! We've been waiting for you!"
As soon as he landed, Charlotte saw one of Rocks' lackeys come up to him and say.
"Yeah!"
Charlotte nodded and walked towards the center of [Hive Island].
On the way to the [great hall], Charlotte saw many people preparing weapons and loading ammunition onto their ships.
Many pirates were also sharpening their knives. They must have heard the news.
They were all actively preparing.
Charlotte soon arrived at the [hall] where Rocks had summoned everyone for a meeting.
"Wa ha ha ha ha! Charlotte, you're finally here! You were the last one!"
Rocks was sitting on the [throne], with the six other cadres below.
When Rocks saw Charlotte, he burst out laughing.
"I was training nearby. That's why I'm late!"
Charlotte explained and then sat down in his seat.
"Jie ha ha ha ha! Training? You can't improve your strength by training. Only killing is the best way to get stronger!"
Shiki, biting on a cigar, looked at Charlotte who had just finished training and said.
"Yeah!"
Charlotte nodded, not intending to argue with Shiki.
"Ku la la la la! Captain, why did you call us here?"
Edward Newgate, [Whitebeard], sitting in the leading seat, looked at Rocks and asked.
"Xi ha ha ha ha! Yeah! Captain! Why did you gather us all here? Is there something up?"
John took a sip of his drink and asked.
The others also stared at Rocks on the throne, eager to hear what he had to say.
"Wa ha ha ha ha! Take a look at this news!"
Rocks passed a stack of documents in his hand around for everyone to see.
[Whitebeard] took it and glanced at it. That single glance made his expression turn solemn. He already guessed what Rocks was up to.
After he finished reading, he passed it on to Shiki.
After Shiki saw the information on the paper, his pupils constricted. He passed the paper on and then looked at Rocks.
"Captain Rocks! What's the meaning of showing us this message? Did you gather us all just for this?"
Shiki, the Golden Lion, frowned at Rocks and asked.
But Rocks didn't say a word. Instead, he continued to wait for everyone to finish reading.
Soon, the paper reached Charlotte's hands. Those who saw the message had varied reactions.
When Charlotte saw the message on the paper, it read that on May 4th, the Celestial Dragons will hold a once - every - forty - years ceremony in God Valley, the New World.
Upon seeing this message, Charlotte's expression changed, yet she remained silent. She looked up at Rocks, awaiting an explanation from him.
Rocks sized up everyone's expressions one by one, taking all of them in.
