Chapter 18

Monica hugged Karl’s neck, greedily sniffing the scent on Karl, and said reluctantly: "Mm, I’ll wait for you. You must come back safely!"

"That’s for sure, I’m leaving!"

In Monica’s affectionate gaze, Karl boarded the internship ship and waved goodbye to her on the ship. It wasn't until the internship ship left Crescent Bay that Monica reluctantly returned to the hospital, quietly waiting for the day Karl returned.

The internship ship was sailing, and many recruits looked excited. After two months, they could finally step on the warship and execute justice.

"Cough, cough! Everyone, assemble!"

Zefa held a megaphone and gathered the recruits to explain the capture target of this internship.

"According to information provided by the Navy Intelligence Department, the [Hunting Knife] Pirate Group with a total bounty of 47.45 million Berries is wandering near Autumn Island. Your goal is to defeat them and send them all to Impel Down. Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!!!"

"Very good, I believe you have this ability. I have already said everything that should be said. Next, set sail!"

"Oh, oh, oh, oh!!!"

Karl took a deep breath, feeling some pressure, mainly from the monster—Whitebeard Jr. Edward Weevil—who didn't know when he would jump out.

But since he was here, he would never let the tragedy in his memory repeat itself in reality! ===== CHAPTER 30 =====

"Ain, you seem to be in a good mood!"

Ain narrowed her eyes and smiled happily: "Yes, Brother Karl, after the internship period ends, I will be able to become Staff Officer Tsuru’s subordinate. I admire her very much!"

"That’s great! But it can be considered a gain and a loss!"

Ain was stunned. She understood the gain, but what was the loss?

"Why, why?"

Karl let out a long sigh and showed Ain a handsome smile: "Because it will be difficult for you to see a Navy as handsome as me again."

"Yue! Karl, you are so narcissistic!"

Karl smiled without saying a word, took the bounty order of the internship mission target from Ain, and read it with relish.

"Hunting Knife Pirate Group, Captain Zaker, bounty 24.5 million Berries, good at swordsmanship. Whoa, how scary~"

Eh, why did he start to sound Move Move Like Huang Yuan before he even became Huang Yuan’s subordinate?

Ain seemed very dissatisfied with Karl’s attitude, raised her pink fist and expressed angrily: "Zaker has done many evils, not only looting Autumn Island but also killing more than twenty innocent civilians. I will definitely not let him go!"

"Hahahaha, that’s for sure. Under my leadership, we will definitely complete this internship mission perfectly, rest assured!"

Ain looked at Karl suspiciously, then her gaze sharpened: "By the way, Karl, what exactly is your ability! You should be able to say it now, right?"

"This..."

"It doesn't matter, Karl. Now you are all Navy on the same ship, comrades-in-arms. It’s best to let them know your ability in advance."

Zefa suddenly appeared behind Karl and said, and without waiting for Karl to answer, he gathered the recruits again.

"Karl, it’s up to you." After speaking, Zefa smiled and retreated to the side.

Looking at the curious and confused eyes of the recruits around him, Karl took a deep breath and showed a smile.

"I think everyone has been curious about my ability for the past two months, but for some reasons, it was not convenient for me to reveal it to everyone."

"But it’s time to confess to everyone."

As soon as the words fell, Karl stretched out his right hand and condensed a golden light cluster, which still shone with its brilliance even under the scorching sun.

"Everyone, this is my ability. I named it Holy Light Power. It currently only has two effects: one is healing, and the other is strengthening!"

Then Karl took out a pistol from behind, aimed at Binz, who was eating melons on the side, aimed, and fired!

Bang~

"Ah, ah, ah, ah!"

Blood flowers bloomed on Binz’s thigh. Binz looked at Karl suspiciously. Meow, meow, meow?

Then he let out a miserable scream, holding his thigh and rolling around.

Zefa on the side frowned, but thinking that with Karl’s ability, there shouldn't be too much of a problem, so he didn't say anything and let Karl play freely.

"Everyone, pay attention. Binz was shot. If he was hit in battle, his combat effectiveness would drop sharply, and post-war recovery would also take a while."

"But..." Karl threw the Holy Light in his hand at Binz, who immediately stopped screaming, looking confused.

Others only saw a black bullet drop from Binz’s leg and roll on the ground.

"What!" This, what kind of terrifying recovery power is this? No, it must be Karl’s, that, Holy Light!"

The recruits surrounded Binz in a swarm, tearing open Binz’s pants to check the injured area, but looking closely.

Except for the blood left just now, there were no traces of injury.

"This is the healing effect of Holy Light. Of course, the strengthening effect varies from person to person, and everyone’s feeling is different. Does everyone want to experience it?"

The recruits shouted at Karl excitedly: "Of course!"

Karl grinned, put his hands together, and condensed a golden light cluster in his palm again. As the light cluster grew larger, his hands slowly opened until it became a golden light cluster the size of a yoga ball.

"Holy Glory Redemption!"

Bang~

The golden light cluster exploded, but it didn't cause any damage. Instead, every recruit illuminated by the golden light rays felt their aura become much stronger.

Karl panted slightly. Strengthening so many people at once was a great burden on his stamina, but fortunately, he had the stamina recovery effect provided by [Still as a Virgin], and the consumed stamina could be recovered in about a quarter of an hour.

"I, I feel Move Move Like I can kill a cow with one punch now!"

"Too strong, I accidentally sprained my ankle yesterday, and after being illuminated by Karl’s Holy Light, it was healed immediately! It’s too magical!"

Such exclamations were countless, and the eyes of the recruits of the same period looking at Karl instantly became hot.

Who doesn't want to become stronger?

As long as Karl was by their side, they could have powerful medical support and physical strengthening effects at any time. How could they not be excited?

No wonder Karl kept his ability a secret, no wonder Instructor Zefa valued him so much, no wonder the three Admirals competed to let Karl be their adjutant!

If it were them, they would definitely do the same!

Because Karl’s ability was too strong! He was simply a dream teammate!

"It seems everyone is very satisfied with my ability! Then this internship mission..."

Binz, who had just been shot, immediately shouted excitedly: "Karl, leave it to us!"

"Yeah! With your Holy Light, we are not afraid of anything. The tiny Hunting Knife Pirate Group is nothing more than that!"

Karl nodded with satisfaction. Very good, very good. Now he could finally slack off with peace of mind!

It’s just that the guy Weevil was always a time bomb in his heart. The key was that he didn't know when it would explode.

But looking at Zefa, who was walking with dragon steps and still mighty on the side, Karl put aside his worries for the time being. He and Zefa would definitely kill wildly together. He was responsible for the "ga," and Zefa was responsible for the "killing wildly."

I don't know how long it had been, Karl had already run to a quiet place to chat and smoke cigars with Zefa, while the group of recruits was still tirelessly fighting one-on-one to see how strong they were after being strengthened.

Zefa was too lazy to stop these. Sailing time was the most boring, and it was good to let them vent their energy.

"Karl, you did a good job just now. To be honest, with your strength, it is more than enough to clean up the Hunting Knife Pirate Group alone, but this situation is exactly what I hope to see."

Karl smiled and flicked his cigar, saying comfortably: "I think so too. Isn't my ability supposed to be used Move Move Like this?"

"Hahahaha, that’s right. The reason why the Navy is the Navy is because we are a whole. The strength of one person or a few people doesn't count for much."

"Only by improving the overall strength of the Navy can we better deter those bold guys."

Karl just wanted to say something, but Zefa’s Den Den Mushi rang *brubru*.

"I am Zefa, what’s the matter?"

"Chief Instructor Zefa, according to information from the Navy Intelligence Department, the [Firearm] Pirate Group with a total bounty of 30 million Berries has landed on Spring Island. Your internship ship is the closest warship..."

"Please rest assured, I will rush over immediately!" Zefa hung up the phone immediately and got up to walk to the lively deck.

Three minutes later, the internship ship began to accelerate! ===== CHAPTER 31 =====
