Chapter 130: Something Fallen from the Sky

Ain buried her face in the desk, her face burning, and didn't speak for a long time.

"*Ugh*~ Sister Gion, I'm not ready yet. Let me think about it some more..."

Gion laughed: "Silly girl, I'm not forcing you. Do whatever you want. If not, just leave this flirt and come to my ship to be good sisters for life, how about that?"

"*Heehee*, Sister Gion, you're so bad. Are you trying to make me get entangled with a man Move Move Like Vice Admiral Gion?"

Hearing Gion's name, Gion's face turned black, and she rubbed Ain's (V) hard: "Don't mention him in front of me, I feel nauseous just hearing his name."

"*Sigh*~ If only I were twenty years younger?"

Ain asked curiously: "Why?"

Gion smiled wickedly: "Then I'd have the confidence to compete with you young girls for Karl! *Tsk tsk tsk*, he's the world's most handsome man, after all!"

*Boom~* The earth shook.

Gion and Ain immediately looked around vigilantly.

"Something happened?" *2

The two immediately walked out of the office and ran into Karl, who was walking out: "What was that loud noise just now?"

Karl shook his head, his expression serious: "I don't know, but it's definitely not good. Prepare for battle."

Karl then looked at Gion: "Sorry, Sister Gion, I can't entertain you for the moment."

Gion waved her hand with a smile: "It's fine, I have nothing to do anyway. I'll just go see with you."

"*Caw caw*~"

Raven flew to Karl's shoulder with the two blades in its beak and handed them to Karl.

"Thank you, Raven!"

Karl hung *Shusui* and *Raiu* at his waist and hurried out of the base building with Ain and Sister Gion.

Arriving at the training ground, it was already surrounded by Marines. Seeing Karl arrive, Nelson immediately reported: "Report, sir, an unidentified flying object just landed. The dust hasn't settled yet, so it's unclear exactly what it is."

Karl took a deep breath. He already knew what it was. He had seen this fierce aura before.

King of the Beasts: Kaido!

"Nelson, take all the Marines of the G-10 branch to evacuate the civilians. Apply for rescue from Headquarters immediately. Say... Beasts Kaido is attacking the G-10 branch."

"Be, Beasts Kaido! How, how is that possible..."

Karl frowned and roared: "Didn't you hear what I said? Go do your job, don't ask so many questions!!!"

"Yes!"

Nelson hurriedly took action, leading the Marine soldiers to leave the G-10 base and evacuate the civilians.

"There's no mistake, it's definitely that guy Kaido!" Gion said confidently.

Karl nodded: "That's right, it's him. Sister Gion, I'll have to trouble you later."

"What are you saying? We're Marines!"

"Hahaha, that's right!"

Karl slowly drew *Shusui*, gripped Raven with his other hand, and looked cautiously at the crater not far away.

"Ain, don't attack easily later. Look for an opportunity to use your ability on Kaido and see if it works."

Ain nodded. Without even mastering Armament Haki, she couldn't break his defense at all and could only play a supporting role.

"*Wororororo~~*"

*Bang~*

A giant hand suddenly appeared, gripping the ground tightly. In the next second, a massive black shadow rose from the crater and landed violently on the ground, causing the earth to tremble again.

"Kid, you're the one who beat up Jack yesterday?"

Karl said without changing his expression: "Jack? He's still alive? He's tough! I thought he was dead! What, looking to settle the score for your little brother?"

*Damn, this kid's got a big mouth!

"How arrogant! You're just a Marine Vice Admiral. Not only did you not run when you saw me, but you dared to provoke me! You really..."

As Kaido spoke, he suddenly pulled a large black club from behind his back and smashed it at Karl without a word.

He shouted: "Thunder Bagua!!!"

Well, this was probably Kaido's way of saying hello—not holding back at all, aiming directly for Karl's head.

"Holy Light Blessing!"

"Elbaf Spear: Ikoku!!!"

Karl instantly applied the Holy Light buff to his allies, then used the Giant's secret technique without hesitation, otherwise, he might not have been able to take that blow.

*Bang~*

The blade and the club collided intensely, and a powerful shockwave erupted instantly.

"*Worororo*~ Not bad strength! Kid, but it's not that easy to repel me! *Oooooooohhhhhh*!!"

With a roar, Kaido exerted force suddenly, and the immense power from the club increased. Veins bulged on Karl's neck as he used all his strength to try to resist the pressure Kaido was applying, but he failed. The difference in physical constitution was simply too great!

*Boom~*

The moment Karl's body relaxed, the club cleanly sent him flying. Fortunately, Raven blocked it, and the super-strong defense provided by *Tekkai* meant he didn't sustain any major injuries.

*Boom-thud~*

"Karl! Are you okay?"

Karl, covered in dust, climbed up from the ground, brushed off the dirt, and a faint white light glowed on his body.

"I'm fine, this kind of attack is still within my tolerance."

Seeing Karl's aura instantly return to its peak, Kaido laughed happily: "Hey, kid, why don't you quit the Marines and join the Beasts Pirates? We need talent Move Move Like you!"

"Really? Can I be the Governor directly?"

"Kid, don't push your luck!!" Kaido stared at Karl viciously, raising the club in his hand to threaten him. In fact, he knew Karl couldn't join the Beasts Pirates; after all, he was a Marine.

But what if?

"You were the one who pushed your luck first!"

"Hmph! If you won't drink the toast, you'll be forced to drink the forfeit! *Kongou Kabura*!!!"

Kaido leaped up, gripped the club with both hands, turned 180° in the air, and smashed it at Karl's head.

"One-Sword Style: Golden Light Slash!"

*Swish~*

Sister Gion instantly appeared in front of Karl, blocking Kaido's attack for him: "Kaido, did you forget I'm still here?"

"Hmph~ A bunch of ants! Come at me together, otherwise, I'll be very bored."

Karl patted Gion on the shoulder and whispered: "Sister Gion, you cover me later, I'll take the lead."

"Are you sure?"

Karl revealed a faint smile: "I'm sure. After all, this is my first time fighting Kaido head-on!"

"*Sigh*~ Fine, be careful, don't try to be a hero!"

Kaido scratched his head as he watched the two whispering to each other. Was his presence really that low?

"DIE!!!"

"Elbaf Spear: Hakoku!!!"

After a simple charge, Karl used all his strength to swing Raven, and a giant flying slash hundreds of meters wide instantly engulfed Kaido.

Kaido didn't even think about it, puffing out his chest, proudly using his flesh to block Karl's attack, and then...

"*Ahhhhh*~ That hurts Move Move Like hell!"
