Chapter 102: Catching a Turtle in a Jar

~6 min read 1,177 words

"Good eye, guest!"

The fat man said with a smile: "This guy has a steamship, is very fast, and his strength is not bad. After all, he’s the most prominent Marine traitor recently!"

Karl’s expression changed. He grabbed the fat man by the collar and glared at him: "What? Marine traitor? Damn it, are you playing me? What if it’s just Marine bait!"

The fat man wasn't angry at all; instead, he understood Karl’s reaction. After all, he was a Marine! It was normal to have a big reaction.

"Guest, please rest assured, he is absolutely a Marine traitor. If you don't believe me, go to the bottom channel and take a look. He should be resting there."

Karl let go of the fat man’s collar and snorted: "That’s better! Let’s go!"

Smoker, who was confused, followed Karl away blankly.

"Were you acting just now?"

"Otherwise?"

Smoker: Live and learn.

Arriving at the bottom floor, sure enough, a steamship without sails was quietly docked at the port, and Gasparde and his subordinates were drinking nearby.

"It’s really him, I’ll immediately..." "Don't panic!"

Smoker: "???" "What if he runs away?"

"Relax, wait for me to call for backup first! There are so many pirates here! How can we not catch a turtle in a jar?"

"But didn't you say that the pirates here are all small fry and don't need to be cared about?"

Karl ignored Smoker, looked around, and after confirming no one was nearby, secretly took out a Den Den Mushi.

"Hello, I’m Karl. Is Ain there?"

"Yes! Please instruct."

"In my name, notify the nearest Marine base and have them send people to surround Hannabal. Today, I’m going to wipe out all the pirates here!"

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, Karl called the waiter: "Bring the best dishes and fine wine you have."

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

Just Move Move Like that, Karl and Smoker sat there for three hours. Karl had already eaten until he looked Move Move Like a fat man.

"Hey! You’re eating too much!"

Life Return.

"What did you just say?"

Smoker was silent. Fine! Life Return. He didn't expect Karl’s Six Powers to have reached this realm.

He still hadn't learned all the Six Powers.

"Brrr brrr brrr~"

"I’m Karl. How’s the situation?"

In the waters near Hannabal, more than a dozen warships were quietly gathering. Ain looked at Hannabal Island through binoculars and revealed a smile.

"Gathering complete, 15 warships in total. Shall we act immediately?"

"Close the net!"

"Yes!"

Ten minutes later.

"It’s bad! The Marines are here! The whole island has been surrounded by the Marines! Run!!!"

The cave was instantly in chaos.

"It’s our turn to act. Smoker, Gasparde is left to you. If you don't catch him, don't come back to see me."

Smoker extinguished his cigar and gave a charming smile: "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Smoker instantly elementalized and rushed toward the Salamander not far away.

"Gasparde, do you still recognize me?"

Gasparde, who was preparing to sail away, froze after seeing Smoker’s face and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

How could he not recognize him? He recognized him all too well!

Who was Smoker? The most fierce new recruit of their batch, who had fought his way through the training camp invincible with the power of a Logia. He had also been beaten by Smoker.

"It’s you, Smoker. Hehehehe, are you here to catch me too?"

"You betrayed justice, so you should have expected this day!"

Gasparde laughed wildly: "Justice? Justice is worth a fart. Can it give me power? No!"

"Can it give me strength? No!"

"Can it bring me endless wealth? No!"

"Then what use do I have for it? Smoker, stop being a Marine, let’s be pirates together!"

Gasparde became more excited as he spoke, and finally even invited Smoker. After all, this guy used to complain about the Marines all the time; he must have been unhappy with the Marines for a long time!

But he didn't notice Smoker’s face getting darker and darker, his anger value exploding.

"Shut up! You are hopeless. Prepare to repent in Impel Down!!!"

"Smoke Strangling Array!"

Swish~

The overwhelming smoke enveloped the Salamander...

Karl, who was watching the battle not far away, nodded slightly. It seemed Smoker had already started acting, and he could start too.

Looking at the Thunder Rain in the system space, Karl muttered silently: "Come to think of it, I’ve had Thunder Rain for so long and haven't used it yet! Let’s try it today."

Clang~

A red light flashed, and Thunder Rain trembled slightly, as if telling of its thirst for blood.

"One-Sword Style: Jade Breaker!"

Swish~

A huge red flying slash swept across the field. The mountain instantly had a gap, and then it made a deafening sound.

This mountain was about to break.

The pirates in the cave were even more panicked, running out for their lives.

Swish~

Karl’s figure flashed by, and dozens of pirates lost their lives. Blood sprayed out Move Move Like rain, and the blade of Thunder Rain became even more crimson.

He could even faintly feel its desire for more slaughter and blood.

"Fine, I’ll satisfy you today!"

Outside, artillery roared.

The warships had already surrounded the island, ruthlessly shelling every pirate ship attempting to escape the encirclement.

Inside, blood flowed Move Move Like a river.

Karl ruthlessly harvested the lives of the pirates. As long as they appeared in Karl’s line of sight, they would leave this beautiful world in the next second.

"Enough! That’s about it. Don't be too greedy!"

After saying this, Karl put Thunder Rain back into its scabbard without hesitation, whistled, and called the raven back into his hand.

The raven was more obedient; Thunder Rain was too easy to get carried away.

On the other side, Smoker, hidden in the smoke, punched Gasparde in the head, only to find his entire fist sinking in.

"Hehehehe, useless Smoker, your fist is useless in front of me!"

"Now, it’s my turn!"

Gasparde missed, and then retracted his fist awkwardly. Damn, this guy is an "invincible" Logia user!

"It seems we can't decide the winner!"

"Is that so?"

"Compressed Smoke Bomb!"

"What!!! Ugh~"

Gasparde swallowed the smoke bomb. Realizing something was wrong, he tried to gag himself, but couldn't cough anything out. After a while, he realized something was wrong and clutched his throat!

"Ugh, ugh, save, save me!!!"

Smoker watched Gasparde fall down with a hideous expression and lit a cigar.

"I am no longer the person I was before, Gasparde..."

Half an hour later, Karl and Smoker met up. Behind him was the hog-tied Gasparde, who was currently in a coma.

Smoker was just about to ask if Karl had Seastone handcuffs or something, but before he could speak, Karl took out a pistol and shot Gasparde in all four limbs.

"Seastone bullets are sometimes more useful than Seastone handcuffs. Do you want to try?"

Smoker shook his head quickly. Try? If I try, I’ll die!
