Chapter 203

Marineford, Marshal's office.

"You've been at Navy Headquarters for six or seven years, right? Why does it feel Move Move Like your appearance hasn't changed at all? This is not scientific!"

Karl crossed his legs and smiled slightly: "Hahaha, maybe people who look handsome age slowly!"

Sengoku curled his lip and talked about business: "Where do you want to go next? You won't go to trouble the Red-Haired Pirates again, right? I heard that the Red-Haired Pirates run away when they see you recently!"

"Forget it, it's meaningless. I'll take a vacation for a while and play around."

To be honest, it's been quite leisurely recently. Karl basically doesn't need to take action for any major events in the Four Seas or the New World. Aokiji and Akainu are rushing to go.

Probably because they heard some rumors, the two have been secretly competing recently, and the involution is relatively serious, which leads to Karl basically having no room to play.

"Hmm, that's fine. By the way, when will the Holy Light Shell and Holy Healing Shell be delivered?"

Karl scratched his head: "This, that depends on Hancock's meaning. You know, the output of the Sky Shell is not very good recently. Without the Sky Shell, I can't make the Holy Light Shell and Holy Healing Shell, right?"

As the reputation of the Holy Light Shell and Holy Healing Shell grew, Sengoku soon guessed that this was Karl's handwriting, and it took a lot of effort to get the internal price from Karl.

Now the Holy Light Shell outside is 1 million Berries each, and the Holy Healing Shell is 8 million Berries each. The Navy's internal price is only 40%, so a large part of the Navy's military expenditure every year falls into Karl's pocket.

Counting the payment from Dragon's side, Karl has become the world's richest man in name and reality, and even the Golden Emperor has to stand aside.

It's just that he earns a lot and spends a lot. Most of the Berries are used to build the Sky Island. He invested nearly 150 billion Berries back and forth, which built the Sky Island into a huge sky country and became a member of the World Government.

Of course, the empress is Hancock.

"As soon as possible! Sigh, you say Ain is such a good girl, how can you bear to have a foot in two boats?"

"Hey! Marshal Sengoku, don't make baseless accusations! What foot in two boats? Ain has never complained. Why do you, an old bachelor, care about so much idle business?"

Sengoku's face flushed: "You brat, old man, old man, I have dedicated my whole life to the Navy! I don't have time for any love affairs!"

"Oh? Is that so? I heard from Gion-Luo Jie that you and Garp were both rejected when you pursued Staff Officer Tsuru!"

Sengoku stopped talking immediately and hurriedly drove Karl out.

After leaving the headquarters building, Karl originally planned to go to the Sky Island to visit Hancock, but thought about it and forgot it. Let's talk about it in two days. Let's arrange the Dark-Dark Fruit first. It's almost time.

Karl took the Dark-Dark Fruit out of the system space. I heard that the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division has been very active in the New World recently. According to the past trajectory, Thatch got the Dark-Dark Fruit at this time.

But now the Dark-Dark Fruit is in his hands, so...

New World, Gran Island, tavern.

"Come, come, come, Captain Ace, have a drink!" Teach raised his glass to toast. Ace, with a glowing face, raised his glass without hesitation and drank it down.

The tavern is full of members of the Fourth Division. They just won a big victory and should celebrate properly.

"Teach, thanks to you just now! Otherwise, I would have been ambushed by that guy. Come, toast you!"

Teach revealed an honest smile and scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Hehehe, what are you saying? We are companions. Although my strength is not good, I will never sit idly by and watch my companions be hurt by others!"

"Bang!"

Ace slammed the glass on the bar and said spiritedly: "That's right, everyone is brothers, no need to say these polite words, come, come, drink, drink!"

The tavern was suddenly full of a happy atmosphere.

At the same time, over Gran Island, a dazzling golden light flashed and landed on Gran Island instantly. Looking closely, it was Karl.

Originally Karl could have come earlier, but the intelligence provided by the Intelligence Department was wrong. Karl spent a lot of time eliminating the wrong answers before finding Gran Island.

Looking at the pirate ship docked on the coast, Karl breathed a sigh of relief. It was not a wasted trip, and finally found it.

"Hey, you, just you, come here."

Ten minutes later, a nervous man walked into the tavern, looked at the pirates who were indulging in the tavern, couldn't help swallowing, and walked silently to the corner to order a glass of rum.

The people of the Second Division didn't care much. Just an ordinary person, not worth their attention. Happiness is the most important thing.

After the man drank a few glasses of wine, a blush appeared on his face. He muttered drunkenly: "Damn Harlas, even though we found it together, you actually want to swallow it alone."

Most of the Second Division were drunk, and no one heard the man's muttering, but except for one person.

That's right, it's Teach. Although he looked drunk, his brain was extremely clear. After hearing the man say he found something, he immediately took it to heart.

He has been on Whitebeard's ship for nearly 30 years, just for the Dark-Dark Fruit. But so many years have passed, and he still has nothing. To be honest, if he really can't find it, he has thought about giving up his ambition and being a filial son.

But isn't there still a chance now? So no matter when, he will not let go of any news.

After hearing the complaint of the man in the corner, he immediately got up, sat casually in front of the man, drank a bottle of wine, and said drunkenly: "Hey, what's the matter, a dignified man, why are you so embarrassed?"

When the man saw a burly man sitting in front of him, he was shocked and subconsciously wanted to run, but when he thought about what the handsome man said to him, he hardened his heart and just did it.

"Ugh, you, who are you?"

"Sigh, it doesn't matter. It's all to blame for that Harlas, too despicable. It was clearly a treasure we found together... he..."
