Chapter 182: Sky Island Daily Life

"Nolan, come here!"

Following Hancock's call, the Sky Lord Nolan, who was dragging construction materials on the side, gave a start. It quickly used its tail to speed up the unloading of materials from its body, then quickly slithered toward Hancock, its tail wagging.

It seemed this guy had really been trained by Hancock into a pet; it just lacked the ability to bark twice.

"Darling, get on!"

Karl hugged Hancock's slender waist and jumped onto Nolan's head.

"Nolan, go this way!"

"Hiss, hiss~"

Thanks to Nolan's massive body, standing on its head felt completely smooth, just Move Move Like standing on an elevator.

Soon, Nolan brought the two to an open area, lowered its head, and hissed, signaling that they could get off.

"Open your mouth."

Nolan obediently opened its blood-red mouth and stuck out its scarlet snake tongue.

Hancock pointed at Nolan's mouth and explained: "I've been arranging for the people to search for gold these past few days, and this guy said there's still quite a bit in its stomach. Let's go in and take a look! I'm... a little scared alone."

If it were anyone else, Karl would have believed it, but would a woman who could train Nolan Move Move Like a puppy be scared?

"No problem, stay close, I'll protect you."

A blush appeared on Hancock's face, and she snuggled into Karl's arms.

Following the scarlet snake tongue, the two snuggled and walked into Nolan's body. At first, it was indeed a bit nauseating; after all, Nolan was a living creature, and the smell inside... um, it was a bit overwhelming.

But Karl was there!

A pale golden shield covered the two in all directions, avoiding contact with the sticky stuff, and a ball of white light floated above their heads for illumination.

They didn't know how long they had been walking, but the view suddenly became much wider, and the surrounding environment became much drier.

"Darling, look, there seems to be something over there."

Hancock pulled Karl over to take a closer look. It turned out to be a stone wall covered in moss, and some jewelry was scattered not far away.

Hancock covered her mouth and sighed: "Did this guy Nolan eat a whole city? No wonder my sister said there were only city ruins here."

"Hehe, why worry about that? Hey, this gold and gemstone necklace is quite nice."

Karl picked up an exquisite gemstone necklace, simply "washed" it with holy light, and held it up against Hancock's fair, tender neck to compare.

"Mm, no, it's not grand enough, it doesn't match your style. Let's look at this one."

So Karl found another necklace inlaid with purple gemstones. It was luxurious and grand, matching Hancock's purple cheongsam very well.

Especially that large purple gemstone, which happened to cover the area above Hancock's deep cleavage. Um, the purple gemstone was very white—no, very large.

"Come, let me put it on for you."

Karl walked behind Hancock, brushed aside her waterfall-Move Move Like long black hair, and fastened the purple gemstone necklace around Hancock's neck.

"You are too beautiful."

Karl and Hancock had been lovers for several years. After Karl's diligent cultivation, Hancock had become even more moving. Although she was a bit fuller than when he first met her, Karl liked it very much. He just wanted that feeling of having flesh when touched.

No exaggeration, in the One Piece world, Hancock's beauty was absolutely at the very tip of the pyramid. There were only a few women who could compete with her in beauty, but in Karl's view, Hancock was still the most beautiful.

Not to mention her beauty, her figure could be described in three words: Holy Crab. At the same time, she was the world's most beautiful woman, a Warlord of the Sea, the empress of a country, and the object of admiration for countless men. With all these additions, Hancock's charm had long since looked down on all women.

But she happened to be a user of the Love-Love Fruit, instantly fusing all the above advantages, making her charm unrivaled. Ordinary people could only look once, because looking twice would cause them to explode... er, turn to stone!

"Really?" Hancock touched the purple gemstone pendant on her chest with some surprise, looking at Karl with moving eyes.

Karl couldn't help but hug Hancock and kiss her on the cheek: "Of course it's true."

"Heehee, then I'll wear it every day."

Karl laughed and pointed to the dark, deep passage ahead: "Don't be in such a hurry! Who knows how much gold and jewelry is left here!"

Those who knew would say they were treasure hunting in a snake's belly; those who didn't would think they were on a honeymoon trip.

In short, this trip was very fruitful. If it weren't for the system space being large enough, he really wouldn't have been able to fit so much gold and treasure.

It was no less than the mountain of gold outside, and perhaps even more!

As for how the Straw Hat Pirates would trade money for the Sunny in three years, that was none of Karl's business. Anyway, Luffy was a child of destiny, and there would always be people rushing to send money.

Two days later, the moist and moving Hancock reluctantly said goodbye to Karl and continued to devote herself to the construction of the new home.

Watching Karl leave riding the Raven, Hancock thought silently in her heart: This time it will definitely work. I have already done it according to Elder Nyon's method. I will definitely be able to conceive a beautiful baby for Karl!

It's a pity that Hancock's wish was destined to fall through, because holy light purifies everything...

Navy Headquarters, Marineford.

Having not returned for a few days, Karl almost thought he had come to the wrong place. He saw lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere, and his photos were hung every few steps, as if they were afraid others wouldn't know he was about to become a Navy hero.

"Look, Navy hero Karl is back!"

"Vice Admiral Karl!!! Vice Admiral Karl, I'm your loyal fan, can I have your autograph?"

"Vice Admiral Karl, look here!!! Ahhhhh, who the hell stepped on my foot?"

The scene was very chaotic for a while. Karl looked at the "excited" onlookers with a headache, greeting them while walking toward the Navy Headquarters building.

Autographs were impossible. Once he started, he wouldn't be able to leave today.

Fleet Admiral's office. Garp laughed loudly after seeing the scene below through the window: "Sengoku, come and look! This brat Karl is blocked, hahaha, it's killing me!"

Sengoku walked to the window with his hands behind his back. Seeing the scene of Karl being heavily surrounded, he grinned: "It's no different from the scene when you became a Navy hero back then!"

Garp waved his hand: "Pfft, don't mention that to me. If the World Government had reported the truth about God Valley back then, I wouldn't have wanted this Navy hero medal anyway."

Sengoku sighed and didn't say much. It was all past events, and there was no point in talking about it now.

Half an hour later, Karl struggled into the Navy Headquarters building. A ten-minute walk took half an hour, and Karl was speechless.

After simply tidying up his appearance, Karl walked into the Fleet Admiral's office.

"Hahaha, Karl, you're finally here. How does it feel to be a hero?"
