Chapter 112: A Special Day

May 1, 1514, Grand Line.

It has been nearly four months since Karl and the others set off for the East Blue, and their anti-corruption journey has finally come to an end.

"Phew~ finally come to an end, you've worked hard during this time!"

In the past few months, Karl took the fleet to walk through all four seas, although most of them went to Marine branches.

However, the results are gratifying, no, it should be sad, the sadness of the Navy.

Because a large number of corrupt Marines can be found in every sea area, and these black sheep exist in every Navy, resulting in the Navy's reputation being very poor in remote areas where they cannot be taken care of, seriously affecting the image of the Navy.

Counting them up, they secretly investigated and arrested more than 200 corrupt Marines this time, 20% of whom were officers.

Some were silently silent in the face of ironclad evidence, and some rose up to resist, attempting a final fight, but were suppressed by Smoker one by one and obediently tied up and sent to the small prison in Marineford.

Smoker nodded as a matter of course: "That's right, I did work hard, but you..."

After a few months of getting along, Smoker finally understood this guy Karl.

When he was screening potential corrupt Marines, Karl was drinking tea and reading newspapers;

When he was collecting evidence of corruption and investigating everywhere, Karl took Ain to travel around the mountains and rivers;

When he was confronting corrupt Marines face to face, and even fighting, Karl was present, but only present, doing nothing, and called it training him...

One or two days would be fine, the key is that this guy is Move Move Like this every day. If he hadn't never beaten this guy, he would have had a rebellious heart long ago!

Listening to Smoker's tone, Karl scratched his head indifferently: "Well, it seems that after the public trial, I can rest assured to hand over the Anti-Corruption Bureau to you!"

Smoker cut, pretending not to care on the surface, but actually caring to death in his heart.

This big cake has been drawn for several months, and it can finally be eaten! Is he easy?

Bang bang bang~

"Come in!"

The door of the lounge was opened, and Ain and Nelson brought in a large cake, with full smiles on their faces: "Happy Birthday!"

Smoker looked at Karl in a daze, and Karl also looked at Smoker in a daze.

Smoker was the first to react, hurriedly took out a lighter to light the candles, and grinned: "Hahaha, Karl, happy birthday!"

"Thank you! How did you know today is my birthday?"

Nelson said straightly: "It was Major Ain who told us, so I..." The voice became smaller and smaller, because Ain used a death glare.

Karl walked to Ain's side, looking straight at her: "Thank you, Ain, when it's your birthday, I will definitely give you a surprise!"

"You, you Move Move Like it..."

"By the way, when is your birthday?"

Ain: ???

Karl grinned and pinched Ain's cheek: "Hahaha, just kidding, your birthday is July 6th, I remember it very clearly!"

"Hate! Hurry up and blow out the candles and make a wish! Otherwise the candles will be burned out!"

Karl nodded, walked to the cake, blew out 25 candles, and then took out a piece of cake and threw it on Smoker's face with the speed of lightning, holding his stomach and laughing at him loudly.

"Damn! You guy, do you really think I dare not do anything to you? White Snake Cake Bomb!"

Marineford, Fleet Admiral's office.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, all the preparatory work for the Anti-Corruption Bureau has been completed. Next, it depends on the arrangements of the Marine Headquarters."

Sengoku looked at the shocking list of corrupt Marines and nodded, sighing long and hard.

"These guys, isn't what the Navy gave them enough?"

Karl said with a smile: "Human desire is endless. Once you cross the boundary, it will be out of control."

"Yes! But I didn't expect there to be so many! If there is a public trial, will it make people feel that our Navy is rotten?"

Karl shook his head firmly: "No, it is precisely because of this that we must carry out public trials with great fanfare!"

"It is better for the Navy to take the initiative to expose it than for others to discover it, and only in this way can the appearance of the Anti-Corruption Bureau be more meaningful."

"People can see the Navy's determination to rectify the interior from this move, can't they?"

Sengoku nodded upon hearing this, and the last trace of concern in his heart was dispelled.

"Then, what is your opinion on the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau? Are you coming?"

Karl shook his head: "No, this position is Smoker's. Fleet Admiral Sengoku, he has grown a lot, and this position belongs to him."

"Smoker?" Sengoku seemed to think of Smoker's previous behavior and couldn't help frowning. Has he really changed after following Karl for less than half a year?

Karl thought Sengoku was dissatisfied with Smoker, and hurriedly said: "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, in fact, most of the anti-corruption actions in the four seas this time were carried out by Smoker himself, and he deserves the first credit. I just grasped the general direction."

"If you don't believe me, you can talk to Smoker yourself!"

Sengoku nodded slightly, and after a long silence, said: "I believe your words. Anyway, everything will be discussed after the public trial!"

"By then, you will be a Rear Admiral, Karl."

Karl opened his mouth in surprise, pointing at himself: "Rear Admiral? So fast?"

Sengoku smiled: "Fast? Not fast. In fact, you already have the strength of a Rear Admiral, but your qualifications are not enough. If you could destroy pirates everywhere Move Move Like Kizaru and Akainu back then, I would have promoted you to Rear Admiral long ago."

Ah! So that's it, then it's fine...

Sengoku continued: "The establishment of the Marine Anti-Corruption Bureau this time, your credit cannot be ignored, and it is a matter of course to become a Rear Admiral."

Karl scratched his head with a smile: "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, don't worry, I will definitely continue to work hard!"

"That's the best, hahaha! By the way, I heard today is your birthday, this is a gift I give you, accept it!"

Sengoku took a book out of the drawer and handed it to Karl. Karl flipped through it casually, and couldn't help but shout: "Giant Secret Technique!"

"Hahaha, that's right, didn't you Move Move Like swordsmanship? I specially asked the Giant Rear Admirals to integrate and write the Giant Secret Technique for you. I believe with your strength, you should be able to learn it soon."

"Thank you, Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"

"Okay, if there is nothing else, go! After running around for so long, take a good rest for a few days. By the way, pay attention to the news."

Karl was stunned, then nodded.

Pay attention to the news, what news?

Naturally, it is the news about the upcoming public trial of corrupt Marines, creating momentum in advance, so that the eyes of the whole sea are focused on the Marine Headquarters.

Let the world see the Navy's determination...
