After getting the Seven - Star Sword, he had to start training in Armament Haki right away.
Moreover, the God Valley Incident was about to happen soon. The sense of urgency in Charlotte's heart was growing stronger, and he desperately needed power.
Slowly, he withdrew the Armament Haki from his body, revealing Charlotte's slightly strange face.
He had long golden hair, was two - point - two meters tall, with a straight posture and a powerful body, giving people a feeling of being sharp and outstanding.
Charlotte was very satisfied with his own body. Whether it was his physical constitution or his appearance, they were both top - notch. Coupled with the strength of his soul, he hardly had any weaknesses.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Charlotte silently smiled.
Paul and Isaac, who had been observing Charlotte, were both speechless and looked at each other.
Charlotte suddenly unleashed an earth - shattering slash, scaring them into thinking the Navy had arrived.
It turned out he was just testing the sword, and then rushed to find a mirror to admire himself.
When did their boss become like this? He was gradually becoming a bit of a goofball.
Could it be that the sudden increase in strength had made the boss arrogant?
Paul and Isaac couldn't help but worry in their hearts.
...
It was a sunny day.
Charlotte was lying on the bow of the ship, feeling the slightly fishy sea breeze.
Elena was standing beside him with an unwilling look on her face.
It had been more than two weeks since Elena tried to jump into the sea.
Now, Elena had accepted her fate. No matter what she did, she was always under Charlotte's surveillance. It was impossible for her to jump into the sea. As long as she had such a thought and was about to act on it...
That bastard would just say indifferently something like "Think about the child in your belly".
And every time, she would feel gloomy after hearing this and then give up the idea of suicide.
She had tried to commit suicide to threaten Charlotte to let her go back, but Charlotte just wouldn't listen. So she had no choice but to give up and accept her fate.
Standing beside Charlotte, she glared at him fiercely.
Charlotte was holding a newspaper that was a week old, but actually the news in it was a month old. If he hadn't met the newspaper - selling seagull, he probably wouldn't have known about it.
He was looking at a photo in the newspaper.
The bounty of The Red Count, Patrick Redfield, was one billion and eighty million berries. Looking at this bounty, Charlotte always couldn't help but smile.
He then read the content.
He broke into the World Government's special passage to reach the New World, killing countless Navy and World Government personnel. His crimes were countless, and he was wanted dead or alive.
After seeing this piece of news, Charlotte really didn't know what to say.
It must be that The Red Count, after seeing his bounty overtaken by Charlotte, was unconvinced and deliberately made such a fuss.
Now, The Red Count was famous. Breaking into the World Government's special passage and fighting his way out to appear in the New World was not something anyone could do.
A month ago, The Red Count appeared on a small island, his face pale.
Looking at the wanted poster in his hand, he managed to pull out a smile on his pale face.
"Hahaha! Want to outshine me? Impossible! Just wait!"
It'll be time for our next battle once I master Conqueror's Haki.
The Red Count murmured to himself.
Then he stuffed the wanted poster into his pocket.
He walked towards the center of the island. He needed to replenish his nutrients.
"The World Government is truly not to be underestimated!"
The Red Count recalled the scene when he forcefully broke into the World Government's exclusive passage.
Since he was under bounty, the only way through was the Fish - Man Island passage. But he just refused to believe in fate. Moreover, his bounty was overshadowed by Charlotte's. He wanted to make a big deal to increase the value of his wanted poster, so he set his sights on the World Government.
It was the World Government's exclusive passage to the New World. As soon as he arrived, he was immediately spotted by the Navy soldiers guarding the passage.
The leader of the group was a Navy vice - admiral. The Red Count didn't take him seriously at all.
With just a few sword strikes, the Navy vice - admiral and the Navy soldiers standing beside him all died miserably.
But the Red Count didn't have the slightest emotional reaction. He stepped onto the World Government's exclusive passage. Everything was going smoothly at first, and he was almost through.
Suddenly, five powerful forces locked onto him. Although these auras weren't as strong as Charlotte's, there were too many of them.
In an instant, the Red Count was engaged in a fight with five masked men.
The moment he clashed with them, the Red Count understood their identities.
They were the Celestial Dragons' shields, CP0!
The Red Count immediately fought with them. With his swordsmanship as fast as lightning, single - handedly, these five CP0 members were no match for him and were being pushed back.
They also realized this. Then they exchanged glances and charged forward to surround the Red Count.
Under their fierce siege, even the Red Count's amazing speed started to slow down.
Soon, he was at a disadvantage.
But CP0 wasn't having an easy time either. They were in a complete mess under the Red Count's swordsmanship.
As the fight dragged on, after a whole day of battling these five CP0 members, the Red Count grew anxious. He could tell that these five were trying to wear him down. They cooperated seamlessly, and two of them were Devil Fruit users, which made things even worse for the Red Count.
But a wise guy doesn't fight when he's outnumbered. After feigning a sword strike, the Red Count dived into the sea and fled.
At the same time, he cursed silently in his heart, saying it was unfair for five guys to fight one and challenging them to a one - on - one duel.
This made the Red Count suddenly miss Charlotte, but he quickly shook the thought out of his head.
After seeing the Red Count jump into the sea, one of the CP0 members tried to chase him but was held back by another.
"Let him go into the New World and fight those pirates!"
The leading CP0 member said in an unarguable tone. Then he turned around and left, leaving behind a field of corpses and craters.
The other CP0 members exchanged glances and followed suit.
After jumping into the sea, the Red Count swam desperately in one direction. There was a ship there.
It should be a merchant ship passing through the World Government's passage.
After boarding the ship, the Red Count immediately killed those who resisted, and everyone behaved themselves.
He had fully recovered from his injuries after resting on the merchant ship for a few days, but he still looked a bit pale.
The Red Count chose to stop at a small island.
Looking at the freshly - released wanted poster in his hand, The Red Count smiled faintly. All the fuss he'd made wasn't for nothing.
"Ahem!"
The Red Count coughed, stuffed the wanted poster away, and headed towards the island's center. He needed to rest up for a few days.
He wasn't in the mood to rest on the ship.
The Red Count's actions instantly enraged the World Government.
Ever since the World Government was founded, no one had dared to stir up trouble at its front door, and The Red Count was the first one.
The Navy Headquarters was also extremely angry. After all, a rear - admiral had died. Even if it was just a branch rear - admiral, he'd been killed just like that.
