I didn't expect them to return so soon. No, 'lost dogs' is a more fitting description.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The Krieg Pirates? Sounds Move Move Like small fry. What did Smoker say? He wants us to take care of them while we're at it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain nodded helplessly: \"Yes. In your words, it's... 'since we're already here'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha, yes, since we're already here, we might as well do it while we're at it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking, Karl’s smile suddenly vanished. Ain, who knew Karl well, immediately sensed something was wrong: \"What is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sigh, nothing. A troublesome guy has arrived. I'm afraid we won't be able to eat in peace today...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain asked, puzzled: \"A troublesome guy? Is there anyone in the East Blue who can make you feel troubled? It wouldn't be Vice Admiral Garp, would it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No, someone more troublesome than Garp.\" \"Then who is...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Dracule Mihawk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain’s body trembled: \"Hawk-Eye? Why would that guy appear in the East Blue?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl shook his head: \"I don't know. No one knows what he's thinking. But if this guy runs into me... he definitely won't just say hello and leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hehe, true! Ever since you fought him at the Abandoned Ship Island, you haven't fought again. And later, the world called you a Great Swordsman on par with him. No matter what, there will definitely be another battle between you two.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What? Feeling the pressure?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl shook his head. Pressure? Are you kidding? Now he had the physique for swordsmanship, the stamina for physique, and the ability for stamina—how could Mihawk fight him?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl could even handle Red-Haired when he was alone; no matter how strong Hawk-Eye was, how much stronger could he be?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Slow down. I don't think we need to take action against the Krieg Pirates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Dreadnaught Sabre.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Krieg, having just had a big meal, returned to his ship, looking coldly at his subordinates with a grim expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"First, we must abandon this broken ship that could sink at any moment and seize the restaurant. The opponents are just a few thug-Move Move Like cooks. They look strong, but they're actually trash...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Attack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Uwaaaaaah!\" \"Ooooooh!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Baratie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"They're coming! I hear the pirates' roars! We must hold the restaurant! We absolutely cannot let them succeed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This ship is our restaurant!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The members of the Krieg Pirates swarmed forward, running and shouting.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Die, you stinking cooks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, the next second...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Swish*—a green flying slash instantly cut the Dreadnaught Sabre in half, then flew straight toward the Holy Light, which was about to arrive at Baratie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl, standing at the bow, curled his lips slightly, gripped Raven with his right hand, and slashed horizontally.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A dazzling golden flying slash crossed the sea, colliding with the green flying slash in an instant, creating a violent tremor.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For a moment, the sea began to \"boil,\" kicking up massive waves nearly 50 meters high.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. Under such an impact, the Krieg Pirates' ship directly turned into a pile of sea trash, shattered beyond recognition, with not even a place left to stand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"A reputation is not without merit. This guy really didn't disappoint my expectations...\" Mihawk, sitting on his coffin-shaped boat, muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A sharp glint flashed in his hawk-Move Move Like eyes, and the Yoru in his hand seemed to be trembling slightly, excited to have met an opponent worth fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The floating restaurant Baratie was Move Move Like a leaf in a boat, shivering under the assault of the massive waves. Fortunately, they were not too close to the center of the collision, which was why they weren't turned into dust as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Look there, the Krieg Pirates' ship... it's just gone!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Who did this? Is this kind of power really something a human can possess?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>While everyone was nervous and confused, Zoro’s body shook. Only a swordsman could feel everything that had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>That was a collision of the Way of the Sword; it was as sharp as the tip of a needle against a blade; it was an aura that made one look up in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And in this world, there weren't many swordsmen who possessed this kind of power. If he had to say, there were probably only two.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One was the world's greatest swordsman, Hawk-Eye Dracule Mihawk, and the other was the Navy hero, Karl.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For some reason, Zoro’s whole body began to tremble slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When he met Karl last time, he actually wanted to test himself against Karl. Although he knew he couldn't win, he just wanted to try.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was a pity that at that time... well, the situation was a bit awkward, so he didn't bring it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But now... it was highly likely that both Karl and Mihawk were here. How could he not be excited?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The turbulence on the sea gradually subsided, and a coffin-shaped boat glowing with green candlelight slowly headed toward the floating restaurant Baratie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the other side, Karl’s Holy Light was also heading toward the floating restaurant Baratie.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To sum it up in one sentence: The floating restaurant Baratie is in danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Gulp.*\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is, is that... the world's greatest swordsman, Hawk-Eye?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No, look over there, that seems to be the ship of the Navy hero, Vice Admiral Karl! Could it be that they are going to...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Run away!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The tourists inside the restaurant fell into chaos, and even the thug-Move Move Like cooks couldn't stop the terrified tourists.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Holy Light arrived near the floating restaurant Baratie first, followed by the coffin boat.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>You couldn't tell, but Hawk-Eye’s coffin boat was actually quite fast. Was Mihawk secretly pedaling in the water underneath?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Whoosh.*\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mihawk leaped up and jumped onto the deck of the Holy Light, looking at Karl with slight excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You truly did not disappoint my expectations, Navy Karl. Oh, wait, now you are a Navy hero.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl scratched his head and laughed: \"Looking at you, are you planning to have a match with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mihawk said noncommittally: \"What else? I haven't met a swordsman capable of fighting me for a long time. You are the strongest one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl wasn't surprised. He turned to Ain beside him: \"Go evacuate the civilians, have them move far away from here. Hmm, take the Holy Light further away too; I don't want to get the ship cut up.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hmm, be careful then.\" \"Hey, don't you know what my abilities are?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain seemed to have misunderstood, a blush appearing on her face, and then she quickly turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>",1179,"2026-06-16T20:20:52.563Z","2026-06-17T08:56:49.806Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","7f2cdce9a000e25912d64e2395ffb5bd8c042a53665448d4fe934fb9866b5935","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-218","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-216",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-cover.jpg"]
