Chapter 21

On the internship ship, looking at the recruits, none missing, Zefa breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, he frowned: "Karl, why are there no pirates?"

Karl's heart stirred; as expected, he couldn't escape it! After all, Master Zefa was once known as the "Non-Killing Admiral."

From this, it can be seen that he does not advocate killing pirates, but chooses to let pirates repent for their sins in Impel Down. But even so, Zefa's family was still cruelly killed by pirates who held a grudge.

"Master Zefa, the Firearm Pirates had 32 members in total. 20 were killed in battle, 12 were captured alive, but when leaving Spring Rain Town, I handed them over to the mayor of Spring Rain Town to handle."

"By now, they should all be dead!"

Hearing Karl say this, Zefa's brow furrowed even deeper.

"Karl, you've been a marine for ten years, don't you know that doing this violates Navy regulations? Any pirate captured alive must be handed over to Impel Down, not handed over to civilians to handle themselves."

"Do you know that if this spreads to other pirates, when they land on this island, what will they do to the civilians of Spring Rain Town?"

Karl thought for a moment and said: "They will slaughter civilians even more unscrupulously."

"Since you know, why did you still do it!!!"

This sudden roar made the other recruits tremble. Having been in the training camp for so long, this was the first time they had seen Master Zefa so angry.

"Master Zefa, aren't pirates the kind of creatures that are always unscrupulous? In the past, the Navy did follow the regulations, but have there been few instances of pirates slaughtering villages and towns?"

"The act of pinning one's hopes on pirates is ridiculous in itself."

Zefa was suddenly speechless. After a long silence, he said to Karl: "You, come with me."

"Big Brother Karl!" "Karl"...

Karl looked back at the group of recruits, signaling them not to worry, and then walked into the room without hesitation.

Inside the room, Zefa sat on a stool, smoking a cigar in silence. After seeing Karl enter, he asked softly.

"Tell me, what were you thinking?"

Karl found a stool and sat down, skillfully took a cigar from Zefa's drawer, and lit it.

"We are in the internship period. Bringing that group of pirates along is a waste of energy and supplies, and it's impossible to wait for the Impel Down transport ship in Spring Rain Town."

"The Hunting Knife Pirates are our primary mission. The sooner we capture them, the safer the civilians will be, so we can't afford to wait."

"Handling them on the spot is the best plan."

Karl sneered after finishing, saying with some emotion: "To put it bluntly, they are only first-level material in Impel Down. Instead of wasting Navy resources, it's better to return them to the earth as nutrients."

"Karl, I am very dissatisfied with your actions today. The reason the Navy is the Navy is because there is discipline and there are regulations."

"We are soldiers! Not pirates!"

Karl nodded innocently and then said: "What about Admiral Akainu? I heard that in order to hunt down pirates, he doesn't care about killing civilians! Is this also a Navy regulation?"

Now Zefa didn't speak, his face turning blue and red.

"Hmph! Slick-tongued, I can't argue with you, can I!"

"But do less of this kind of thing in the future. Those pirates without Devil Fruit abilities can be killed if they are killed, but don't kill ability users indiscriminately."

Because whether it's the first half or the second half of the Grand Line, as long as a pirate with a Devil Fruit ability dies.

Their Devil Fruit will be reborn in some corner of the world. If it's eaten by someone determined to be a Navy officer, that's fine, but if it's a pirate, then it's a wasted kill.

Therefore, for pirates with Devil Fruit abilities, the Navy generally captures them if they can, and only chooses to kill them if absolutely necessary.

"Don't worry! Master Zefa, I know what I'm doing, no need to trouble yourself!"

"You brat... sigh~"

Zefa sighed, not knowing why he suddenly thought of his wife and child who died under pirate blades. This incident once caused him to fall into depression, and his former concept of the "Non-Killing Admiral" gradually began to change.

The principle of leaving a way out clearly does not apply to pirates.

So for Karl's "recklessness," he only scolded him a few times and wasn't really angry.

"Alright, alright, I'm too lazy to argue with you. You won your first battle, it's time to celebrate!"

"Alright!"

"Karl, Master Zefa didn't give you a hard time, did he?"

"Hahaha, looking at me, do you think he did? It's just violating some Navy regulations! What's the big deal!"

"That's right! Isn't it just killing pirates? Is there something wrong with killing pirates?"

Soon, Karl was surrounded by excited recruits, becoming the focus of the crowd.

"Ding~ Slacking time has accumulated to eight hours, daily mission completed, reward: Specified Attribute Enhancement Card*2, Six Styles Mystery: Life Return Skill Card*1, Six Styles Mystery: Six King Gun*1."

"Detected that the host is in the final stage of the training camp. Starting today, daily rewards are doubled, and the probability of rare items in the random reward pool is increased. Please continue to work hard, host!"

"Today's daily reward has been reissued, obtained Specified Attribute Enhancement Card*2, Six Styles Mystery: Life Return Skill Card*1, Six Styles Mystery: Six King Gun*1."

Looking at the four enhancement cards and four skill cards in the system space, Karl couldn't help but exclaim, and after a simple farewell to others, he went straight into his room.

"I'm rich, I'm rich! The internship period is 30 days. If it doesn't end early, I can get at least 116 more enhancement cards! Maybe I can push my physique to B-level without advanced enhancement cards!"

"And this Six Styles Mystery, it's too good!"

These are both techniques he hadn't mastered before. Whether it's the highly practical Life Return or the killer move Six King Gun, they are both excellent combat techniques.

Nothing to say, use them directly.

"System, use four attribute enhancement cards to enhance perception and use all skill cards!"

In this way, only 10 advanced attribute enhancement cards left for backup, and a bunch of snacks and sundries remained in the system space.

Host: Karl

Age: 24

Physique: C

Perception: D

Will: D-

Special Abilities: [Still as a Virgin], [Moving as a Rabbit]

Holy Light Fruit: 9.6% (Awakening Progress)

Active Skill: Weak as a Reed (Usable)"

Except for the awakening progress of the Holy Light Fruit, other attributes remained unchanged, because as the attribute rating gets higher, more enhancement cards are needed.

Karl is very satisfied to be able to get a little stronger every day. Compared to the little trash he was when he first arrived at Navy Headquarters, he is now making rapid progress.

Next, as long as he successfully awakens dual-color Haki, Karl's training camp career can come to a perfect end.
