"Cry! Cry your heart out! Maybe you'll feel better after that!"
Charlotte said casually, his voice filled with helplessness.
Elena was crying under the covers, while Charlotte sat beside her, sipping tea and watching her all the time.
After she had cried for more than three hours, Charlotte was speechless.
Was this woman made of water? She'd been crying for so long and still didn't stop.
It really annoyed Charlotte.
Bang!
Charlotte slammed the cup in his hand onto the table.
"How long are you going to cry! Aren't you hungry?"
Charlotte turned around and looked at the huddled figure in the quilt.
Hearing Charlotte's outburst, Elena stopped crying.
But then she heard Charlotte ask if she was hungry.
Her stomach growled involuntarily.
Gurgle! Gurgle! Gurgle!
Instantly, Elena's face turned red under the covers.
"Get out!"
Elena said angrily, a bit embarrassed.
"Hahaha!"
Charlotte clearly heard Elena's stomach growling.
Then he got up, laughing heartily, and left the room.
Charlotte went to the kitchen, grabbed some bread, milk and other stuff, and then returned to the room.
During this period, Charlotte used his [Observation Haki] to constantly monitor Elena in the room.
He was afraid that she would jump into the sea again when he was not around.
"You're hungry, right? After all this fuss, have something to eat!"
Charlotte brought the bread and milk to the bedside and said to Elena, who was still sobbing under the covers.
But Elena didn't show any reaction at all.
If he hadn't heard her stomach growling, Charlotte would have suspected that Elena had run away.
"Sigh!"
Charlotte looked at Elena helplessly.
"Even if you don't think about yourself, think about the baby in your belly. Since what's done cannot be undone, throwing a tantrum won't help. You'd better face the reality earlier!"
Charlotte put the food on the bedside cabinet and then left the room.
He knew that Elena probably wouldn't eat as long as he was there.
Creak!
The sound of the door closing echoed.
After feeling the room fall into complete silence, Elena poked her head out.
There she was, with a runny nose and red - rimmed eyes.
After staring at the door for a while, Elena touched her belly, picked up the food on the bedside, and started gobbling it up.
Charlotte, who had been watching through his [Observation Haki], smiled faintly.
Now, Charlotte's top - notch [Observation Haki] had become a full - time babysitter, observing Elena's every move every day.
Sensing that Elena's emotions had stabilized, Charlotte walked out of the cabin.
"Boss!"
"Boss!"
Seeing Charlotte, the crew members who were busy around greeted him one after another. Charlotte just nodded indifferently and walked to the bow of the ship.
Looking at the boundless sea, Charlotte suddenly felt a little dazed.
It had been eight years since he crossed over into the world of the Pirate King.
In these eight years, for the first five years, he had trained himself like crazy, never daring to slack off for a moment.
In the fifth year, he joined the Rock Pirates and started his pirate career. During this period, his love life had flourished. He had five women who were deeply in love with him, a two - year - old daughter, and a one - year - old son.
There's also a kid gonna be born soon.
Calculating the time, he can catch the moment when that child is about to be born.
Now, Elena is also pregnant with a weak life in her belly, having both family affection and love.
In terms of strength, Charlotte, at the age of twenty, The Great Blood - Sword Hero, possesses top - tier Observation Haki, advanced Armament Haki, and top - class Conqueror's Haki. With his powerful physique and excellent martial arts skills, Charlotte fears no one.
In the world of the Pirate King, he is considered one of the top figures. Except for a few, no one dares to claim they can surely defeat him.
However, with such strength, Charlotte feels empty inside. He always feels that there is something missing in his heart.
Is this the loneliness of being invincible? No way! No way! He still knows his own limits. Not to mention anything else.
Rocks, the captain of the Rock Pirates; Edward Newgate, the first - division commander of the Rock Pirates, also known as Whitebeard; and Shiki, the second - division commander, also known as the Golden Lion.
In addition, Sengoku, a vice - admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Garp, another vice - admiral, and Kong, an admiral, who can fight on par with the previous pirates, are all opponents that Charlotte can't defeat.
There are also Roger and Rayleigh of the Roger Pirates. They are all not to be underestimated. It would be too exaggerated to say that he is invincible, but he has enough strength to protect himself.
Feeling a bit depressed, Charlotte looked up at the sky and roared.
"Ah～!"
Seeing Charlotte roaring at the sea, many crew members were confused and didn't understand what had happened.
Then, they saw a green long sword magically appear in Charlotte's hand.
Lightning danced on the long sword, and a huge amount of energy covered the blade.
"Aha～!"
Charlotte raised the Seven - Star Sword with both hands and slashed at the sea.
Then, a scene that would shock them for a lifetime appeared. A green Blade Qi soared into the sky. The hundred - meter - long blade qi penetrated the entire sea and rushed straight forward.
"Gulp!"
Everyone involuntarily swallowed their saliva.
"Damn! The boss got even stronger!"
Paul and others who had always been by Charlotte's side murmured.
Charlotte was also slightly stunned when he saw the Blade Qi he had struck out.
He knew his own strength well. When did he become stronger again?
Charlotte looked at the Seven - Star Sword in his hand.
"Could it be you?"
Charlotte raised the Seven - Star Sword in his hand and murmured, looking at the Big Dipper on the sword.
Moreover, the Blade Qi he had just struck out was green. He clearly remembered it was white. How could it turn green? Could it also be the doing of this Seven - Star Sword?
Then, Charlotte activated his Armament Haki. Different from the pure black in the past, it turned green - black, with a faint layer of green on the surface of the black.
Then, the Armament Haki instantly covered his whole body. Looking at his reflection in the sea water, he had become a little green man.
"No way!"
Charlotte couldn't believe it when he saw his reflection in the sea water and quickly looked into a mirror.
There was indeed a faint layer of green on the surface of the pitch - black Armament Haki.
"Damn it! Did the Seven - Star Sword transform me?"
Charlotte looked at all these changes in disbelief.
However, Charlotte could feel that her Armament Haki had become stronger and more condensed.
This directly saved Charlotte several months of arduous Shu.
You know, the best way to train Armament Haki is to find someone to spar with, or find a few mountains and smash them bit by bit.
Back then, when Charlotte was practicing punches, she found an uninhabited island. It took her three months to just manage to smash four mountains.
Training Armament Haki was a slow - paced process, so Charlotte had never been hasty about it. She had been training her swordsmanship all the time.
However, since breaking through to The Great Blood - Sword Hero, Charlotte had also put aside her swordsmanship training and wanted to train Armament Haki, because Armament Haki was her weakness and she had to overcome it.
But because she didn't have a suitable sword, Charlotte decided to look for the Seven - Star Sword, which delayed her again.
