One Piece Tulip Family

When Tamazamae led the Fox Country warriors to approach Alpha Island quickly, the Childe family, the target of her trip, was busy with people coming and going in their new manor on Alpha Island, and a grand banquet was about to be held.

This is a banquet held by the Childe family in order to gain the recognition of the forces near Alpha Island, and the big figures in the surrounding waters have been invited.

At this time, in a luxurious hall in the manor, several core figures of the Childe family were having a family meeting.

The leader is a fat man who is over half a century old. Although he is not young, he is well maintained and his skin is very good. He is sitting on the sofa, his face is red and full of energy. Antonio.

Sitting around Antonio were his sons and some confidantes, including Childe Hoffman, who had secretly instigated the rebellion in the Kingdom of Flowers in the West Sea.

However, it seems that Hoffman's status in the family is not very high, because his seat in the family meeting is actually at the very edge, even behind some family cadres, which is obviously not very popular with Antonio.

In fact, Hoffman originally had a low status in the family because he was an illegitimate child, and the other brothers rejected him very much, so the resources in his hands were not very sufficient.

And back then, in order to win Satan's head and please his father Antonio, his desperate conspiracy in Xihai failed, and he lost a lot of resources and subordinates. Even the loyal old servant, ghost, died in the hands of Satan.

Afterwards, his position in the family became even more embarrassing. Not only did his two elder brothers always squeeze him out and give him no good looks, but even his father Antonio didn't treat him very much. Except for some trivial tasks, he had almost nothing to do.

Even this big event such as the plundering of Alpha Island, his father Antonio did not let him participate. How could Hoffman, who claims to be a smart man, bear it. Therefore, at the family meeting, he was in a bad mood and just sat quietly by the side without saying a word.

Unlike the silent Hoffman, his two elder brothers were quite eye-catching at the family meeting. Among them, Andre, the elder brother with fiery red hair sitting on the left of Antonio, was even more active. He not only talked about the questions raised by Antonio, but also chatted enthusiastically with various family cadres. He looked like Antonio's right-hand man, which made Hoffman very jealous.

In fact, Andre does have the capital to be proud of. Unlike Hoffman, who is good at planning, he and his second brother Andrew are serious fighters. Not only do they have a group of powerful subordinates, but they are also quite powerful.

In this operation to plunder Alpha Island, he and his younger brother Andrew led a group of powerful slaves to the black market under the banner of the Seven Deadly Sins in advance on the grounds of trading slaves. During the transaction, Lucifer was caught off guard, and then he and the masters led by Antonio defeated Lucifer's [Seven Deadly Sins] organization back and forth, and made great contributions to the operation of the Childe family.

Andre is tall and strong, with a fiery personality. He has a full beard and bulging muscles all over his body. He is as strong as a savage. He often strikes at a disagreement. He is the one who puts the most pressure on Hoffman among the brothers. Hoffman even had to take a detour when he met him, otherwise he would be beaten up at some point.

Sitting on Antonio's right is Hoffman's second brother Andrew. He is thin, has a disastrous complexion, and looks weak. In fact, he is the strongest among the Hoffman brothers. Because he is a special animal gargoyle devil fruit ability user, affected by the fruit ability, he has a sinister personality. He has always been taciturn and unsmiling, but his fighting power is very strong.

Since the family has just won a new territory, the cadres are quite excited, and the atmosphere of this meeting is also very relaxed. Even Antonio, who has always been very powerful in the family, is smiling at this time, unwilling to spoil everyone's interest.

At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open.

The meeting room fell silent for a moment, all the cadres were silent, and even Andre stopped talking endlessly. Everyone in the Childe family knew that the head of the family, Antonio, cared most about the family meeting. Therefore, when the family meeting was held, he hated being disturbed by others the most.

In the end who is looking for death, the cadres have even imagined Antonio's furious look.

"Dad, I'm back."

A frivolous male voice sounded, as if a spring breeze was blowing in the conference room. A handsome young man walked in with his hands in his pockets. He put his hands in his pockets, his expression was lazy, and there was always a smile that was not a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was not paying attention to anything.

Seeing him, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The cadres thought to themselves, since it was him, Patriarch Antonio would not be angry even if he disturbed the family meeting.

"It's Anderson, come and sit down."

Sure enough, when he saw this boy, Antonio immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

It was Hoffman's younger brother Anderson who came. Since Antonio's youngest son Rachel died at the hands of Satan a few years ago, this old man who suffered from the pain of bereavement has doted on his youngest son Anderson. Whether it is the powerful Andre, Andrew or Hoffman who is good at planning, Antonio is not as fond of this frivolous and flamboyant Anderson.

Anderson triumphantly walked past everyone, came straight to Antonio, sat down on the sofa next to his brother Andre, and said casually, "Dad, the task you entrusted to me has been done. Leidos Saint's ship is about to arrive at the port. This time, he came here specially to support our family."

"Well, well, well done! As expected of my good son, with Leidos Saint in charge, I see who dares not to give me the face of the Childe family this time."

After listening to Anderson's words, Antonio smiled like an old chrysanthemum. The Childe family controls the world's most famous slave hunting group "The Thorn Birds". It is because of the support of the Tianlong people that they are able to mix black and white. This time, all the major forces around Alpha Island are invited to the banquet. With the presence of Tianlongren Leidos Saint, the Childe family's occupation of Alpha Island is already a certainty.

So it's not unreasonable for him to dote on his youngest son Anderson. Although this kid has a frivolous personality and has the temperament of a playboy, he can't resist the fact that he can play with the young masters of the Tianlongren. For a family like the Childe family that relies on the Tianlongren for development, what is more important than pleasing the master Tianlongren.
