So expensive? That's enough for him to buy how many rifles!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This, isn't this a bit too expensive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl said with a smile: \"Mr. Dragon, ask yourself, is this thing expensive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dragon froze. Upon careful reflection, there weren't many things on this sea that could enhance strength. A Devil Fruit cost at least 100 million Berries. In comparison, the Holy Light Dial really wasn't expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But in that case, his idea of arming the Revolutionary Army with Holy Light Dials would go down the drain. It was too expensive and not cost-effective. It would be better to get some money to upgrade weapons and equipment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Then how much would it sell for?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That's none of my business. Currently, your Revolutionary Army is the exclusive agent. I don't care how much you sell one for, you only need to pay me 500,000 Berries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Even if we sell it for 1 million or 10 million, it's the same?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl nodded: \"That's right, as long as you can sell them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hiss~ Dragon was shocked. Good fellow, this was truly a way to make money!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When the time came, he would just put this thing at an auction, and the sales would naturally follow. He would basically be making money while lying down!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thinking that the Revolutionary Army would soon have no shortage of funds, Dragon felt a surge of excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Comrade Karl really had the Revolutionary Army in his heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Was he still bound by his status as a Navy officer? That was also true. After all, he was about to become a Navy hero. With his status, staying in the Navy was more useful than staying in the Revolutionary Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That's great. By the way, how is this Holy Healing Dial calculated?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl held up five fingers again. Dragon said \"Oh,\" thinking the price was the same, so he didn't say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing Dragon not speaking, Karl reminded him: \"Ahem, Dragon, the price of the Holy Healing Dial is... 5 million Berries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dragon widened his eyes: \"5 million Berries? Why is it suddenly so much more expensive?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Phew~ Seeing Dragon's ignorant expression, Karl felt much better.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Things that can save lives are naturally a bit more expensive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After speaking, Karl snapped his fingers. The Raven perched on his shoulder instantly transformed into a blade, landing steadily in Karl's palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Dragon, if you want to test the effect of the Holy Healing Dial, you might have to bleed a little. You wouldn't mind, would you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dragon frowned, staring at Karl, and then revealed a smile: \"Of course I don't mind. I heard you are a swordsman on par with the world's greatest swordsman, Mihawk. It just so happens that I can learn a thing or two today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then, Dragon extended his left arm and slowly closed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl took a deep breath. He was indeed a leader-level figure. Then...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Swish~\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A golden blade light flashed, and the tip of the blade grazed Dragon's arm, leaving a bloodstain about one centimeter long. For Dragon, it should only be a minor injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Try it, Dragon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dragon opened his eyes, looked at the wound on his left arm, and laughed heartily: \"Precise control, worthy of a Great Swordsman.\" After speaking, Dragon pressed the protrusion on the Holy Healing Dial.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The white halo around the Holy Healing Dial expanded continuously, enveloping Dragon. The white holy light merged into the wound on Dragon's arm, strand by strand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In just a few breaths, the wound healed, leaving no trace of injury at all. Moreover, there was plenty of white holy light left over, so it just gave Dragon a full-body spa. And so...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The slipper print on Dragon's face—ahem, the tattoo—was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What a divine power!\" Dragon exclaimed in wonder, stroking the injured area on his arm, completely unaware that the tattoo on his face was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This Holy Healing Dial was truly a life-saving item. Selling it for 5 million really wasn't expensive. This was a life-saving treasure; he would have thought 10 million Berries was low.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Once the Holy Light Dial and Holy Healing Dial appeared on the market, then... Dragon could already imagine the explosive scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And with this thing, doctors on the sea would probably be out of a job!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Amidst his sighs, Dragon suddenly asked: \"These were all created by Lord Karl using your own ability, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl nodded. His ability was no longer a secret on the sea, so it wasn't strange that Dragon could guess it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That's right, it was indeed created by my ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dragon said \"Oh\": \"If that's the case, don't you need to supply the Navy? The Navy's demand for this kind of thing might be even greater, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl waved his hand: \"You don't need to worry about that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In fact, Karl had long been prepared to supply the Navy, but he absolutely could not let the Navy get it for free. He had to scrape some benefits from the World Government, just Move Move Like the Seastone business; the World Government had been cooperating with Kaido all along!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This time I brought 1,000 Holy Light Dials and 100 Holy Healing Dials. I'll leave them all to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl waved his hand, and a large pile of Holy Light Dials and a small pile of Holy Healing Dials appeared on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dragon was stunned. I didn't even blink? How did he get these out?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This...\" \"My ability.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Oh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking at the \"mountain of gold\" in front of him, Dragon looked troubled. He hadn't brought any money, and even if he had, who would have thought these shells could be so expensive?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, I trust your character, Lord Dragon. This time, just take them and sell them! Just pay me after you've sold them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dragon's face lit up with joy: \"That's great, thank you so much!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and an unremarkable ship approached the coast.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Dragon took a look and then said to Karl: \"Lord Karl, the ship to pick me up has arrived. Let's say goodbye here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Mm, take care.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then Dragon waved his hand, and a strong wind blew past, carrying the Holy Light Dials and Holy Healing Dials on the ground onto the ship. Dragon also left with the wind, as if deliberately showing off in front of Karl.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl smiled faintly, waved his hand, and watched Dragon's ship disappear into the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With the business finished, it was time to bully some weaklings to relax. Karl turned his gaze toward the distant cooking smoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Isshin Dojo, backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zoro, in his classic outfit, was training under a waterfall. The powerful water flow kept hitting his back, but it couldn't shake him at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Suddenly, Zoro moved. He held his swords in a cross-shaped stance with his left and right hands, unleashing a slash as if to clamp down on an enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Three Sword Style: Oni Giri!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Swish~\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Three blade lights flashed. The waterfall seemed to have been pressed with a stop button, but it quickly resumed flowing, washing the off-balance Zoro into the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zoro climbed onto the shore in a sorry state, hands on his hips, panting as he looked at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It's getting late, time to go back and eat...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Young man, are you also a swordsman?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1226,"2026-06-16T20:20:51.518Z","2026-06-17T08:56:49.806Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d15b386b55b2b27c7641362869a7009d227d6fe1e86f8487093945851a6351e6","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-179","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-177",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-cover.jpg"]
