Chương 1574: After the War (6)

Hometown is an extremely important place for everyone, carrying so many memories and emotions.

Charlotte couldn't help but think of her hometown, that distant and vague place.

He hadn't thought about it for a long time and almost forgot its existence.

However, at this moment, Ace's words were like a key that opened the door deep in his memory, allowing those dusty memories to flood back into his mind.

Charlotte stared at Ace, his eyes became extremely complicated.

He couldn't help but think of the scene when he witnessed Ace being killed as a child in his previous life. That scene was still deeply engraved in his memory, becoming an indelible regret in his heart.

However, his appearance now has miraculously saved Ace from death. Does this mean that he has successfully made up for the regrets of his previous life?

Charlotte thought to herself, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing an indescribable smile.

This smile made the children around him realize that something was wrong with their father.

They looked at each other, secretly guessing Charlotte's changing mood at the moment.

Charlotte stood up slowly; his steps seemed heavy, as if he was carrying the weight of the world.

He walked up to Ace step by step, then reached out his hand, held Ace's arm, and carefully pulled him up from the ground.

"What happened back then is gone forever, just like a light went out. The grudge between Whitebeard and I has long since vanished. Since you want to bury Whitebeard in his hometown, I will give you a ride."

Charlotte's voice was low and powerful, and his eyes swept over every member of the Whitebeard Pirates, finally stopping on them.

"Thank you!"

When Marco and others heard what Charlotte said, they all raised their heads with gratitude in their eyes.

They thanked Charlotte again, then stood up and bowed deeply.

Charlotte smiled and nodded, his smile revealing a sense of relief and tolerance.

Then he turned his attention to Rayleigh, Ivankov and others, who were his friends and witnesses of this fierce battle.

However, Luffy was still unconscious at this time, and his body looked extremely weak.

"Long time no see, Rayleigh!"

Charlotte looked at Rayleigh with a smile on her face, a hint of joy in her eyes.

Rayleigh stared at Charlotte, a smile appeared on his lips, and he responded: "After fourteen years, Charlotte, you are still so energetic!"

His eyes fell on Charlotte's young face, and he seemed to feel a little emotional.

When Charlotte heard Rayleigh's words, she subconsciously touched her cheek and said with a smile, "No, no, I'm not young anymore. I'm already 58 years old!"

There was a hint of self-mockery in his voice.

Rayleigh shook his head slightly and sighed, "Oh, you are the youngest person left from Rocks' generation. Those old friends from back then are all gone one by one!"

His gaze slowly turned to the huge coffin in the distance and he sighed deeply.

Charlotte followed Rayleigh's gaze and said after a moment of silence, "Yes, but there are still some people here, such as Lingling, Xia Qi, and Jabba."

When Jabba was mentioned, Shiloh's mind flashed back to some of the things he had learned about him.

He suddenly remembered a question, so he turned to look at Rayleigh and asked, "By the way, do you know where Jabba is now?"

Rayleigh shook his head and said helplessly: "We haven't met since the Roger Pirates disbanded."

Charlotte raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile, and said softly: "Hey, I know where Jabba is, and you will never imagine how comfortable he is living now!"

This sentence was like a flash of lightning across the night sky, instantly catching Rayleigh's attention.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked anxiously: "Oh? Really? Tell me quickly, where is Jabba?"

"He is the Kingdom of Elbaf, the legendary kingdom of giants! And he has a giant wife, and they even have a child!"

Charlotte said.

"Tsk tsk!"

Charlotte couldn't help but smack her lips and sigh.

He shook his head and muttered to himself, "I really don't know how he and the giant gave birth to a child? This is simply unbelievable!"

This astonishing news was actually discovered by Caesar by accident when he broke into the Kingdom of Giants.

At that time, it was the year 1516 of the Sea Calendar. The Rockefeller Kingdom had just expelled the Whitebeard Pirates and the BIGMOM Pirates and began to take over the entire New World.

At that time, Esdeath was responsible for cleaning up the first half of the New World, while Caesar was assigned to clean up the second half of the New World.

In the New World at that time, the only force that could pose a threat to the Rockefeller Kingdom was the world's number one superpower - the Elbaf Giant Kingdom.

While Caesar was carrying out his mission, he encountered the ambitious Loki.

A thrilling battle broke out between the two men. However, unexpectedly, this fierce battle ended in a draw and neither of them could do anything to the other.

Of course, this is definitely not because Caesar is not as strong as Loki, but because Caesar's injuries at that time had not yet fully recovered.

Not only that, he also encountered a huge storm, which caused him to have exhausted a lot of physical strength when he arrived at the Kingdom of Elbaf.

When the two met unexpectedly, the conversation between them was not pleasant, and it could even be said that they had nothing to say to each other.

Thus, a fierce war broke out instantly.

However, unexpectedly, halfway through the fight, Caesar suddenly felt a surge of hunger, causing him to feel dizzy and unable to continue fighting.

In desperation, he could only choose to retreat temporarily to preserve his strength.

This result made Loki quite proud. He began to become arrogant and even felt that the outside world exaggerated the legend of the Dragon Caesar.

However, Loki's thoughts did not last long.

After Caesar had rested and eaten enough and recovered to his best, he did not hesitate to set out again on the journey to the Kingdom of Elbaf.

This time, he didn't want to end it hastily like last time.

Finally, Caesar and Loki met again, and a thrilling duel was inevitable.

This time, both of them used all their skills and started a life-and-death battle in their most primitive beast forms.

What surprised Charlotte was that Loki, the prince of the Elbaf Kingdom, actually possessed the abilities of the Animal System, the Mythical Beast, the Human-Human Fruit, and the Fire Giant Form.

During these thrilling three days and three nights, the fierce battle between the two almost razed the Kingdom of Elbaf to the ground.
