Chapter 197

Kuja Palace.

The moment she saw Karl's figure, Hancock opened her arms and pounced on Karl.

"My dear, you finally came to see me. I missed you so much!"

Since they last parted, they hadn't seen each other for nearly 4 or 5 months, and Hancock almost got lovesickness.

Karl patted Hancock's back and said with a smile: "I missed you too. I'm hungry, is there anything delicious?"

"Yes, of course, someone come!"

Hancock prepared a table full of dishes, fearing that Karl wouldn't be full, and even wanted to feed Karl herself.

"Are you still hungry? Do you want to eat a little more?"

"Enough, enough, *hiccup*~"

Karl unbuckled his belt, revealing his round belly, took a deep breath, and activated Life Return.

"My dear, the day before yesterday was your birthday, I have a gift I want to give you."

Karl raised an eyebrow: "Oh? What gift?"

A faint blush appeared on Hancock's face. She grabbed Karl's hand and pointed to the road leading to the bedroom: "Let's go, let's go inside and talk..."

After a while, Marigold and Sandersonia, with blushing faces, dispersed all the servants in the palace and forbade anyone from breaking in.

Karl finally knew what the gift Hancock mentioned was.

Holy Light, have you seen that enemy? Look! That guy looks worth a fight!

Please grant me infinite power and inexhaustible stamina to help me defeat this enemy!

Finally, Karl defeated Hancock without any effort. Of course, the Holy Light provided some small help.

"My dear, today is my dangerous period!"

Karl's tiger body shook, and he quickly condensed white holy light and shouted: "Purify!"

Hancock only felt a warmth in her body, and then there was no then, but Karl let out a long sigh of relief.

"You just..."

Karl showed a gentle smile: "It's nothing, I was afraid you were tired."

"Ying, you are so kind..."

The next day.

The raven, carrying the snatched newspaper, placed it beside Karl, and then plunged into the "canteen" to eat.

"Today's news?"

Karl nodded and spread out the newspaper.

"So fast!"

Today's newspaper content was even more explosive. Fleet Admiral Sengoku ordered the arrest of all corrupt Navy personnel, detained them in Marineford, and would conduct a public trial in three days.

Although there were some discrepancies with the facts, it was for publicity! It wasn't cold, anyway, his Vice Admiral position was already stable.

After seeing the newspaper content, Hancock covered her mouth: "Is that old man Sengoku going to play this big?"

"Yes! After all, this is the result of my efforts over the past few months!"

"What? My dear, are you saying that these corrupt Navy personnel were all caught by you?"

Karl nodded: "More or less."

"Damn Sengoku, he actually stole all the credit!" Hancock said quite angrily.

"Hahahaha, don't talk nonsense. This is something I agreed with Fleet Admiral Sengoku long ago. Anyway, in a short while, I will be a Vice Admiral."

Hancock's face lit up: "That's great, my dear. Wait, if you become a Vice Admiral, won't you be even busier?"

Karl shook his head and said confidently: "That's not necessarily true."
