Chapter 109: Jaltzburg

Charlotte just nodded briefly and headed towards the kitchen.

He didn't even bother to pay them any mind.

But after seeing their boss fully recovered, the crew members rushed towards the deck one after another.

"Captain! Captain! The boss is awake! The boss is awake!"

Suddenly, the whole ship became lively.

Paul and Isaac, who were still patrolling on the deck, immediately ran towards the cabin to see their boss when they heard the news.

"Where's the boss!"

They ran to the captain's cabin only to find it empty.

"The boss has gone to the kitchen!"

A crew member told Paul as he passed by.

"Damn it! Why the hell didn't you say so earlier!"

Paul and Isaac couldn't help but curse, then they rushed towards the kitchen.

"How should I know? You're looking for the boss. What's the big deal?"

After muttering, he continued to clean the deck.

"Boss! Are you okay!"

Paul was quicker than Isaac. He rushed into the kitchen and blubbered to Charlotte.

Charlotte held a freshly - made roast meat in one hand and a loaf of bread in the other. He ate while taking a glance at Paul.

"Get out of here! I'm not dead! Why are you crying! Don't bother me while I'm eating!"

Charlotte scolded Paul and then continued to eat what was in his hands.

After hearing what Charlotte said, Paul also let out a sigh of relief.

He didn't give a damn about Charlotte's scolding. He'd gotten used to it ages ago.

"Hehe! Boss, you were in a coma for three days. It scared the shit out of me. You looked like a ghost before. Even Elena shed a lot of tears after seeing you!"

Paul walked up to Charlotte with a big smile on his face.

When Charlotte heard Elena mentioned, he took a look at Elena.

Elena gave Paul a dirty look and signaled him to shut up.

Paul just scratched his head stupidly and kept his mouth shut.

Charlotte looked at Elena and stopped what he was doing.

"Did you cry for me?"

Charlotte asked Elena.

"No!"

Elena shook her head firmly.

"Really?"

Charlotte continued to look into Elena's eyes and asked.

He could see a hint of fatigue and redness in Elena's eyes, which clearly showed she'd been crying. She was just too shy to admit it.

"No way! Who'd cry for a dumbass like you!"

Elena said, trying hard to hold back her tears.

After hearing this, Charlotte stopped asking. If he kept on asking, Elena might fly off the handle.

In the end, he'd be the one in trouble.

With everyone staring at him in shock, Charlotte ate non - stop for two hours. Even the cook's spatula was smoking.

Finally, after being about 80% full, Charlotte stopped eating.

Then he stood up and lazily stretched.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

There were sounds of bones cracking from Charlotte's body.

This was obviously due to his long period of inactivity.

After stretching, Charlotte led everyone out of the cabin.

"We've actually reached the area near the Kingdom of Endless Wars!"

Charlotte said in disbelief.

While Charlotte was eating, Paul and Isaac had been reporting to him what had happened in the past three days. 

On the way, Carter told Charlotte what had happened along the way and the phone call he had made earlier. Finally, he said they were about to dock at the Kingdom of Endless Wars.

Charlotte listened attentively.

After hearing what Carter said, Charlotte's eyes narrowed slightly. Was the countdown to The God Valley Incident starting?

This made Charlotte both excited and nervous, with a hint of anticipation.

It was indescribable.

She didn't take what Shiki said to heart at all!

Walking onto the deck, the sunlight shone on her, lifting her spirits.

She wasn't bothered by her recent defeat.

It was still too early for her to fight Admiral Kong. Her strength and Haki hadn't reached their peak yet.

During that battle, Charlotte realized her weaknesses: speed and strength.

Especially in close - combat, she couldn't keep up with Kong's fighting rhythm.

From the start, she was suppressed by Kong and had no chance to counterattack.

Even though her Observation Haki had warned her, she couldn't match Kong's speed.

She was completely helpless.

She was beaten without putting up any resistance.

Especially since Kong's Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki were top - notch, and his Observation Haki was also excellent. His physical build lived up to his nickname, Steel Bones.

He outclassed her in every aspect.

She was able to hold out for a day thanks to her strong recovery ability and swordsmanship.

It was nothing like her previous fight with Zefa.

During her battle with Zefa, she could rely on her Observation Haki and speed to draw a tie, although there was a bit of luck in it.

But at least they were evenly matched.

"Alas! I still need more practice," Charlotte murmured as she looked out at the endless sea.

Thinking about Rocks, who had forced the Navy out of the New World, she wondered just how powerful he was.

Charlotte stopped ruminating on it. She knew that one day, she'd stand at the world's peak just like them.

She had never lost her fighting spirit.

It wasn't scary to lose. What was truly terrifying was to never get back up after a defeat.

In the world of the Pirate King, how many powerful folks had been beaten simply because they couldn't regain their mojo?

Such people were pathetic. They were destined to be eliminated by the world.

Charlotte shook her head. Why was she thinking so much? What did all this have to do with her? Stop thinking about it!

"How much longer until we reach our destination?" Charlotte asked the navigator as she stood beside the ship's wheel.

"Boss! It'll probably take one or two hours!" the navigator replied while carefully studying the sea - chart.

Charlotte looked with interest at the island the navigator pointed out on the sea - chart.

Then she twitched the corner of her mouth.

There were five or six kingdoms on this tiny island. No wonder it's called the Kingdom of Endless Wars.

"Where are we going to land?" Charlotte asked, looking at the sea - chart.

"It's a place called Jaltzburg, the only deep - water port where every passing merchant ship can dock!"

As the navigator, he had obviously gathered all the information.

Jaltzburg?

Charlotte didn't understand why he felt a hint of familiarity upon hearing this name! But he quickly remembered that there was a very famous person from the Kingdom of Endless Wars in later generations.

Douglas Bullet, the descendant of the devil.

He was arrested by the Navy using a Buster Call, along with Navy rear - admiral Garp and the future Admiral Sengoku.

This was quite a remarkable existence in the world of the Pirate King.

Being dealt with jointly by these two was a treatment only Shiki received when he single - handedly raided the Navy Headquarters.

Thinking of this, Charlotte couldn't help but develop a glimmer of interest in Douglas Bullet and wanted to recruit him.

Moreover, calculating the time, Bullet seemed to be only seven or eight years old. The difficulty of recruiting him was very low.

Thinking of this, Charlotte couldn't help but get excited.

Bullet!

If he was allowed to grow up, he would definitely become a great Suke, with absolute emperor - level strength.
