Chapter 12

Karl's heart gave a start; was Huang Yuan trying to recruit him? No, he was definitely trying to recruit him!

Generally, new recruits graduating from the training camp are assigned to the Four Seas and the Grand Line based on their performance; only the most outstanding recruits remain at the Navy Headquarters to grow for a time under a Vice Admiral or an Admiral.

For instance, the former Kuzan was Koby's sidekick and little fanboy.

Huang Yuan showing favor to him in advance undoubtedly meant he valued Karl's abilities; Karl was very confident in this—what ADC doesn't want a reliable support?

But Master Zefa had just told him to stay away from Huang Yuan, and now Huang Yuan was here to recruit him.

This made Karl suspect there was some secret competition between these two rivals; it was hard for a little newbie like him to be stuck in the middle!

However, speaking honestly, if he had to choose for himself, he would most likely choose Huang Yuan; the reason was simple: Kuzan was currently a slacker; if he was slacking off, how could Karl slack off?

Akainu was dedicated, but with his severe personality, he would not sit idly by while Karl slacked off; he would definitely raise his demands on Karl.

So Karl didn't have many choices: one was Koby, strong in power and with many holidays;

the other was Huang Yuan, fast and efficient; even if Karl added a buff for him at the Navy Headquarters, Huang Yuan could whoosh whoosh and kill people instantly.

"Hahaha, Admiral Huang Yuan, it's still early before graduation! No need to be so anxious; but rest assured, if I get to choose then, I will definitely prioritize becoming your adjutant!"

Huang Yuan's lips curled slightly upward, seemingly very satisfied with Karl's answer; he reached into his pocket, pulled out a string of keys, and tossed them to Karl.

"These are the keys to my former residence; if you don't mind, move in first! Consider it a gift from this old man!"

Having finished speaking, Huang Yuan turned into a streak of golden light and vanished on the spot, leaving Karl no room to refuse.

"Good lord, this day has truly been magical enough; I have a house, my career is secure, and I've slacked off to my heart's content; zzzz~"
