Chapter 19: Recruit

The Four Seasons Island in the first half of the Grand Line—Spring Island.

A pirate group from the West Blue successfully crossed Reverse Mountain and couldn't wait to start looting as soon as they arrived in the first half of the Grand Line.

For them, this looting might not be necessary, more because of the excitement of coming to the Grand Line for the first time and the inexplicable restlessness, wanting to do something big!

The purpose was also simple: money, fame, women, fine wine.

But what they didn't know was that an ordinary naval internship ship had quietly approached. Karl held a rifle, aimed, and pulled the trigger.

Bang~

The minion on lookout on the pirate ship wailed and fell from the watchtower, dying a bit miserably.

"Tsk tsk, rusty..." Karl shook his head helplessly. ===== CHAPTER 32 =====

When he was at Branch 108, he was a good shooter. After not touching a gun for two months, his accuracy was gone.

"Brother Karl, you can hit the target with one shot from so far away; you are already very powerful!" Ain had already become his little fan girl, frantically calling for him.

"Alright, stop flattering me, get ready to land on the island!"

Spring Rain Town.

"Wow, hahahaha! It is worthy of being an island on the Grand Line; it is really rich!"

A tall, thin man with a long gun on his back looked greedily at the gold and silver treasures looted by his younger brothers, grinning happily.

He was the captain of the Firearm Pirate Group—Firearm Firearm Deman, with a bounty of 13.5 million Berries. He couldn't survive in the West Blue, so he could only take people to the Grand Line to break through. He didn't expect the first looting to be so smooth.

Thinking that he had just seen a reporter taking pictures, he thought his heroic posture of killing people would soon be on the newspaper, right? How much would his bounty increase by then?

"Boss Firearm Firearm Deman, it’s almost enough. If we take more, our ship won't be able to hold it. Let’s retreat quickly! It will be troublesome if the Navy arrives!"

Firearm Firearm Deman looked at the town being eaten by flames, the civilians trembling in fear, the sobbing women, and the crying children, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

"No rush, since we are here, let’s just do a big one. Little ones, listen to my orders! Slaughter this town, kill all the men and children, as for the women~"

"Hahahaha! Brothers, handle it yourselves!"

The little minions instantly let out ghost-crying and wolf-howling cheers: "Oh, oh, oh! Boss is wise!!!"

Bang~

The door of a medieval-style building with good quality was broken open, and a big pirate broke in, looking greedily at the luxurious decoration inside.

"This time I’m rich, this house hasn't been visited yet, hahahaha! Serves me right to get rich today!"

After a strange cry, the big pirate broke into the room and looted all kinds of things he thought were valuable.

In the corner of the room, a mother and daughter with good faces were trembling and hugging each other, hiding under the bed, not daring to make a sound, hoping that the hateful pirates would not find them.

Otherwise, this pair of mother and daughter without any resistance would definitely be doomed.

Soon, the slightly anxious footsteps got closer and closer. The mother and daughter subconsciously held their breath. An old shoe heel appeared in front of them, and the pirate was squatting on the ground looking for their wardrobe.

"Eh~ why are they all women’s clothes? Could it be..." The big pirate’s eyes lit up. He said how could this room be so quiet; it must be that someone was hiding.

If there were no accidents, it was still a woman!

"Hehehe~" The man let out a lewd laugh, unable to help but dig his crotch.

"Don't hide, I know you are hiding here, you can't run away, I guarantee I won't hurt you!"

The wardrobe was roughly knocked over by the pirate, making a loud noise.

"Ah!"

The daughter held in her mother’s arms screamed, and was keenly noticed by the big pirate.

"Hahahaha, so you are hiding here! It really made me look for you!"

The pirate was about to reach out and lift the big bed when urgent shouts came from the street.

"The Navy is here! The Navy is here! Retreat! Retreat!!!"

"Damn Navy!"

The man stomped his feet in annoyance and walked out of the room quickly. The mother and daughter breathed a sigh of relief, sweat almost soaking their clothes, but fortunately, they had escaped a disaster.

On the internship ship.

"Karl, you are the Navy with the most combat experience here. Let’s leave the command of this operation to you!

"Please remember, although the strength of this pirate group is not strong, be careful in everything."

Karl smiled. Anyway, his slacking time for today was almost up, so just treat it as loosening his muscles.

"Rest assured, Master Zefa, leave it to me!"

After speaking, Karl walked to the group of recruits who were ready to go, with Holy Light condensed in his hands.

"May the Holy Light bless you, Navy will prevail!"

"Navy will prevail!"

The recruits, who had long been eager to try, shouted slogans excitedly, and under Karl’s command, formed a siege circle around the town, gradually shrinking, and blocking all the pirates who looted the town.

"Damn Navy, little ones, go for it!"

"Bang!" The battle was on the verge of breaking out.

The best among the recruits lightly avoided the pirates’ bullets and launched a counterattack. This group of miscellaneous fish was simply vulnerable in front of the well-trained training camp students.

Ain looked at the thin, tall man, and a flash of light flashed in her eyes.

Shave!

"Damn woman, do you think you can beat me just by yourself? I am Firearm Firearm Firearm Deman! Go to hell!"

Firearm Firearm Deman quickly aimed his firearm at Ain, and after a simple accumulation of power, he actually fired more than a dozen bullets in a row. He was worthy of being a pirate captain; he still had some things.

"Damn it!!"

Ain hurriedly used Shave to dodge to the left, but was still grazed by the dense bullets on her arm. Intense pain came from her arm, making her frown.

But soon, a warm force smoothed her pain. Turning her head to look, she found that the wound was healing rapidly under the healing of golden energy, and it had healed in just three seconds.

"Is this the healing effect Karl said? Sure enough, only after personally experiencing it can one understand the power of this force!"

Without worries, Ain became extremely brave, and after quickly approaching Firearm Firearm Firearm Deman, she slapped him.

"You, what did you do to me!"

Firearm Firearm Deman looked in horror as he became smaller and smaller. In a blink of an eye, he turned from a middle-aged man into a young man. If it was just Move Move Like this, it would be fine, but Ain slapped him again.

This time he turned from a young man into a child, and he couldn't even pick up his favorite firearm.

"Tie him up!"

Temporary commander Karl was in the center of the town, sitting on a simple wooden stool, crossing his legs, spitting smoke rings comfortably, as if this battle had nothing to do with him.

A bearded pirate with a gun quietly drilled out of the alley, aimed his firearm at Karl, who was sitting still, and roared.

"Go to hell! Little white face!"

Pulling the trigger, bang!

Karl, who had long noticed it, tilted his head slightly and easily dodged the pirate’s sneak attack, looking at the pirate who attacked him with a calm face.

He hadn't noticed this pirate before, but there was a premonition in the dark that he would be attacked, but he hadn't awakened Observation Haki. Karl preferred to call it half-step awakening!

"Hey, that’s too much. You wouldn't be jealous that I’m handsome, right!"

"Damn it!" Seeing Karl easily dodge, the pirate hurriedly reloaded his rifle, but just as he was about to aim, Karl’s right hand appeared in his field of vision.

"Finger Pistol!"

*Xiu*~

A blood hole appeared in the pirate’s brow, and he fell to the ground in disbelief, dying without understanding how this little white face, who looked harmless to humans and animals, was so fatal.

"You can be considered to have died in your place. At least because of your death, the average appearance of all men has risen a little bit."

After a while, a training camp recruit ran over, looking around, and his eyes lit up after seeing Karl.

"Karl, someone is injured, the situation is urgent, come and take a look!"

Karl was stunned. What’s the situation?

He definitely put a BUFF on them! Why are there still people seriously injured! ===== CHAPTER 33 =====
