Soon, Charlotte got drunk and lost consciousness. He lay on the table and fell asleep.
No one knew how long he slept.
The next day!
Charlotte was woken up by a noisy sound.
He frowned slightly and looked at the dim dawn outside.
Charlotte was in a bad mood after waking up. If he hadn't kept telling himself to keep a low profile, he would have started shouting.
Suddenly, feeling an urgent need to pee, Charlotte stood up abruptly and felt dizzy.
He quickly shook his head to regain his senses. Then he asked the bartender at the front desk and went to the toilet.
After relieving himself, Charlotte felt a wave of pleasure.
He checked the time. It was only six in the morning. Then he looked at the crew members lying on the ground.
Charlotte walked up to Paul and kicked him.
"Ugh~!"
Paul stood up unsteadily, holding his forehead. He had a splitting headache.
Charlotte sat at a clean table, sipping tea and looking at Paul.
"Get up!"
Charlotte said softly.
Paul instantly perked up.
"Boss!"
Paul quickly looked over and saw his boss sitting alone sipping tea.
"Wake up the brothers. We're leaving!"
Charlotte looked at Paul and said calmly.
"Yes!"
Paul nodded without asking where they were going.
If the boss wanted to say, he would tell them without having to be asked.
"Hey, wake up! Wake up!"
Paul walked up to Isaac and kicked him.
"Huh?"
When Paul kicked him, Isaac instantly became alert. He immediately raised his head and stared blankly at Paul.
"Wake up! We're going out with the boss later!"
Paul looked at Isaac and said.
Hearing it was the boss's order, Isaac swallowed the words he wanted to say and silently stood up to wake up the other companions one by one.
The crew members had slept all night and were mostly awake. Generally, they would wake up when called.
After a while.
Almost all the crew members who followed Charlotte had woken up.
"Boss! Everyone's awake!"
Paul walked up to Charlotte and whispered.
Charlotte sipped her tea and looked at the more than twenty people in front of her. They almost filled up the empty space in the tavern.
Charlotte stood up, put on his magnificent coat, dropped a bag of money, and headed towards the door.
"Let's go!"
Charlotte stood at the door, with the sunlight behind him. He turned his head slightly and said to everyone.
Everyone could sense a hint of excitement from Charlotte. Although they didn't know why, they still followed one by one.
They walked out of the tavern and headed in a certain direction according to yesterday's memory.
The more than twenty people behind attracted the attention of countless townspeople on the roadside.
But Charlotte ignored them all. All he had in mind now was the Seven - Star Sword.
Following the memory, they soon passed through the bustling downtown area.
They came to a desolate place.
Looking around, it was the same as in his memory. He chose a path and walked in.
Seeing the boss walking into the dense forest, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what the boss was going to do in the forest.
"What are you looking at! Hurry up and follow!"
Seeing everyone looking at each other, Paul couldn't help yelling.
Then he hurriedly followed up.
Seeing this, the others also hurriedly followed.
Stepping into the dense forest, the path was difficult to traverse. Charlotte wondered how Luffy had managed to get in according to the original story. Could it be that there have been changes in the past forty years?
As Charlotte snapped the branches aside, he looked around and thought.
"Boss! What are we doing here?"
Paul slashed a branch blocking his way with his sword and asked.
"There's something I need in here. It should be close!"
They had been walking for a whole morning and had already crossed half of the island. They should be nearing the isolated village soon.
Upon hearing Charlotte's words, everyone perked up.
The entire journey was either along rough and bumpy mountain paths or through thick jungles.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Charlotte's mind! He instantly raised his left hand and caught an arrow speeding towards him.
"Someone's here!"
When they saw the arrow, Paul, Isaac, and the other crew members raised their weapons and scanned the surroundings.
"Who's there? Show yourself!"
Paul shouted in the direction from which the arrow had been shot.
Rustle, rustle, rustle!
The jungle about a hundred meters ahead stirred.
It was obvious that they had been spotted and were quickly changing positions.
Charlotte narrowed his eyes.
His figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
After a short while, Charlotte leaped back.
But this time, he was holding a person in his hand.
To be precise, it was a teenage boy of seventeen or eighteen.
Charlotte threw him to the ground and then stepped on his back.
"Oof!"
Despite the great force pressing on him, the boy only let out a stifled grunt and didn't cry out.
"Kid! Who are you? Why did you attack me?"
Charlotte stepped on the boy's back, looked down at him, and asked.
But the boy just stared at Charlotte angrily and didn't say a word.
Seeing that the boy remained silent, Charlotte said, "Oh, come on! Can't I teach you a lesson?"
Charlotte bent down, grabbed the boy by the neck, and lifted him up instantly.
The boy was about 1.7 meters tall and was immediately lifted off the ground by Charlotte.
Watching the boy struggle violently, Charlotte sneered disdainfully.
He instantly activated his Observation Haki to read the boy's mind.
In an instant, he invaded the boy's thoughts. Then he began to rummage through his memories as if there was no one else around.
The boy was still struggling violently, completely unaware that his memories were being probed.
Behind him, Charlotte's crew members were also a bit confused as they saw their boss just lift the boy up without asking any questions.
"Captain! What do you think the boss is doing? Why isn't he interrogating him?"
Hearing this, Paul glared at the crew member and whispered, "Mind your own business about the boss's affairs!"
Hearing the captain's words, the crew member shrank his neck and stopped asking.
After Charlotte found the information he wanted, he simply flung the boy away.
The boy hit a nearby tree hard.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, unconscious and his life or death unknown.
Charlotte was so powerful that even a casual throw was beyond what an ordinary person could endure.
Paul looked at the young lad and silently mourned for him in his heart.
"Let's go! We've found the place."
Charlotte said excitedly with a beaming face.
After invading this young lad's memory this time, Charlotte not only found out about the village hidden in the mountains but even saw the Seki chamber that was being enshrined.
Others might not know what the Seki chamber was for, but how could Charlotte, who had watched the anime, not know?
That was exactly where the Seven - Star Sword was sealed.
Seeing the boss in high spirits, everyone quickly followed up.
No one dared to disturb Charlotte's enthusiasm at this time.
They quickly rushed out of this area.
Charlotte and the others' field of vision suddenly broadened.
The path also became easier to traverse.
Moreover, they could spot traces of human activity and those engraved stone walls.
This ought to be the ruins of the Askar Kingdom.
Seeing these, it meant that Charlotte hadn't made a wrong find.
