To save his own life, he had to honestly lead Karl to their base where they kept the slaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish, swish, swish~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dozen scarlet blade lights flashed, and the surrounding human traffickers fell to the ground. The Thunder Rain in Karl's hand greedily absorbed the scarlet blood, and the blade became increasingly bright red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because he had used Thunder Rain to cut down many pirates recently, the blade seemed to have undergone some kind of metamorphosis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, its blade was a normal black and silver color, only stained with a red halo after seeing blood. Now, even without blood, the blade was deep red, and after seeing blood, it would emit an eerie red glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Perhaps, as a swordsman becomes stronger, his blade also becomes stronger, only the process of the cursed blade becoming stronger was a bit fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, if you look at the quality alone, Thunder Rain is no different from Raven or Shusui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You have to know that Raven and Shusui are both Black Blades (Raven isn't visible). Although Thunder Rain failed to become a Black Blade, it seemed to have embarked on another path, which is a bit similar to Zoro's future demonic aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl preferred to call it... blood sacrifice, because Thunder Rain is a blood-drinking blade, and the blood of countless pirates and villains forged its strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish~ The chains were cut open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl said indifferently: \"I am Vice Admiral Karl of the Navy Headquarters. You are saved. Those who were pirates before, stand out and admit it yourself. I can let bygones be bygones.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gulp~ A few men looked at each other and raised their hands tremblingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corners of Karl's mouth rose slightly as he precisely stabbed out with Thunder Rain, killing the few pirates who had become slaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There's no need to talk about martial virtue with pirates!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here, these are the keys. Open them yourselves. There is some Berries in the room over there; consider it your travel expenses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Vice Admiral Karl!\" \"Thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl didn't respond and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night, Sabaody Archipelago, Grove 1, an auction house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This shouldn't be Doflamingo's venue; the decorations were clearly not that flashy and looked more pragmatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there were quite a lot of people—nobles, pirates, all kinds of people. It was quite lively. It should have been advertised. Karl was quite satisfied; at least Dragon took it seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking into the VIP box, Karl closed his eyes and waited quietly for the auction to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Click~ The door of the VIP box was opened, and a man in a hood walked in and closed the door behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl opened his eyes, turned his head to look, and the man lifted his hood, grinning: \"Long time no see, Vice Admiral Karl. I haven't had a chance to congratulate you on becoming a Navy hero!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect you to come in person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Holy Light Shell is related to the future development plan of the Revolutionary Army. How could I not take it seriously?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl smiled lightly, signaled for Dragon to sit down, and asked casually: \"How many did you bring this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"100 Holy Light Shells, 10 Holy Healing Shells. I mainly want to use this auction to build a reputation, so I didn't bring many.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl nodded and didn't speak again. Dragon seemed to want to say something, but seeing Karl's coldness, he didn't say more and waited quietly for the auction to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 20 minutes later, the host came on stage to warm up the crowd and stir up emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that was the first auction item. When a young lady in shabby clothes brought it up, Karl realized it was a Holy Light Shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, let me grandly introduce to everyone this magical shell. Its name is... Holy Light Shell!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host pulled off the red cloth, revealing the stacked Holy Light Shells inside. At the same time, the lights on the stage began to dim, and the Holy Light Shells emitted a faint golden halo in the dark environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow!\" \"Holy Light Shell? What is this? A glowing shell?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that people's interest was piqued, the host smiled and gestured to the backstage, signaling that the next step could begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone might be a bit confused. It's just a glowing shell, what's so rare about it? A lamp worth a few thousand Berries can do the same thing. However, the fact that it can come to our auction means it is definitely not that simple!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for what its specific function is, allow me to keep a small secret, because next, we will demonstrate its function in front of everyone to see if you can guess it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoever can guess the correct answer, our auction house will directly give 100 Berries as a reward!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as this was said, the audience sitting below let out bursts of exclamation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My god, 100 Berries just Move Move Like that? There's such a good thing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whatever! Isn't it just a glowing shell? It's free money, why not take it? I heard the finale today is a Devil Fruit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether they were pirates or wealthy merchants, their curiosity rose to an unprecedented level, and they urged the host to hurry up and start, don't dawdle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, a shirtless, thin man walked onto the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone, please look. This is a skinny man. Do you think he can break this wall?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha, impossible. He's as thin as a chick. Don't break your own hand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have to say, the host chose a good person. At a glance, you could tell this guy was weak and couldn't even truss a chicken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for the sake of rigor, the host tested it himself, casually taking two barbells and placing them in front of the thin man, asking him to lift them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was obvious: the barbells that the host could easily lift, the thin man couldn't lift even after using all his strength, and he was panting from exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guests probably already guessed what the effect of this Holy Light Shell was, but it didn't affect their interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next is the moment to witness a miracle. Come, you, come over and press this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thin man took the Holy Light Shell and pressed the protrusion on the top. The light shell released all the stored holy light, enveloping the thin man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah! Oh, yeah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw that under the reinforcement of the holy light, the thin man's body began to become robust at a speed visible to the naked eye, just Move Move Like Steve Rogers becoming Captain America after taking the super-soldier serum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bursts of gasps came from the auction house, and the temperature of the entire venue dropped by a degree or two instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl in the VIP box smiled slightly. It seems they have studied the Holy Light Shell quite a bit! No wonder they had to find a thin man; otherwise, the effect wouldn't have been so obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is probably equivalent to a level 1 novice suddenly being buffed by a level 100 healer. It's hard not to become stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reinforced man looked at the host, then rushed straight toward the wall on the side, smashing the solid stone wall into pieces, then picked up the dumbbells on the ground and twisted them into a twist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, does everyone know what the Holy Light Shell does?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1271,"2026-06-16T20:20:51.518Z","2026-06-16T20:55:40.462Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","8d404949c9ac25ca045f6e49486cd5871ba6a6932b771eb75b4b956dd22151c3","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-200","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-198",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-cover.jpg"]
