Reaching the Peak of Swordsmen!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Throne Changes Hands? Vice Admiral White Raven Defeats Former World's Greatest Swordsman Dracule Mihawk, Forcefully Seizing the Title of World's Greatest Swordsman!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Various exaggerated and eye-catching headlines all pointed to one thing: Hawk-Eye, who had occupied the throne of the world's greatest swordsman for nearly ten years, had become a thing of the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The current world's greatest swordsman is Karl!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And so, early in the morning, Karl received various phone calls.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Karl, I heard you pushed Mihawk off? Is that guy okay? He is a Warlord of the Sea, after all. If he dies, I won't be able to explain it to the World Government!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Marshal Sengoku, rest assured, he definitely won't die, but he should suffer a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That's good. By the way, there is something that needs you to handle. Have you heard of Drum Island?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Heard of it. The winter island of the four seasons, right? But I really haven't been there. Was it invaded by pirates?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Correct. Marshall D. Teach invaded this country with a group of pirates. By the way, he has already established his own pirate crew, named the Blackbeard Pirates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Oh! Is that so? Then what's the use of me going now? Are they still on Drum Island?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No, according to intelligence, they seem to be looking for something on Drum Island, but didn't find it, which is why they destroyed the country. It is said that King Wapol was scared away. You know, because of his relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates, the Navy is paying more attention to his whereabouts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Fine, since that's the case, I'll go take a look! Anyway, I don't have any missions lately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hmm, hmm, then I'll trouble you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain, who was stark naked, raised her head in a daze, saying unclearly: \"Hmm~ Who is it... ah? Can't people sleep?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ahem, Ain is sleeping next to you? Sorry, sorry for the disturbance.\" Then Sengoku immediately hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain immediately woke up when she heard the voice: \"Was that Marshal Sengoku?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yes! Now the news of me becoming the world's greatest swordsman is about to spread across the world. Several people called me just now, but it happened to be interrupted when it reached Marshal Sengoku.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain looked at the man in front of her, thinking to herself: Look, this is my man.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Aren't you sleeping anymore?\" Karl played with Ain’s \"baby canteen,\" turning it into a cross-eyed shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain looked at Karl with seductive eyes, holding down his mischievous hand, her breathing becoming increasingly thick.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The dam collapsed, and Karl had to throw himself into \"Yu the Great controlling the floods.\" There was no way; Karl was destined to be a beast of burden. After all, Ain would give him, uh, food.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As the sun rose high, Karl checked the time, preparing to have lunch at Baratie before leaving. As soon as he came out, he saw Sanji kneeling in front of Zeff, saying something, tears flickering in the eyes of the people around.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sanji knelt on the ground, roaring with a crying voice: \"Thank you for taking care of me. I will never forget your great kindness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking closer, one would find Sanji’s tears flowing Move Move Like a spring, soaking the floor. Red-Leg Zeff’s expression didn't change, but his eyes were also soaked with tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The cooks of Baratie cried and cursed: \"You stinking brat, it’s so lonely after you leave, you bastard!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Nami leaned on the railing of the Merry, silently wiping her tears. Zoro seemed to remember the time he parted with Koushiro, mocking with red eyes: \"Tch, a crybaby cook.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Usopp’s reaction was the most exaggerated. He looked even sadder and more heartbroken than Sanji, the person involved. They say women are made of water; Karl thought Usopp was.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After saying goodbye, Sanji turned resolutely, boarded the Going Merry, and waved goodbye to his family.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Goodbye, Sanji! You must find the ALL BLUE, you bastard!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zeff looked at the departing Merry, his heart filled with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As long as you have the conviction not to fear even death, you will definitely find it. Find the ALL BLUE, Sanji!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The pirate crew of Vice Admiral Garp’s grandson is getting bigger and bigger. Do we really not need to manage them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl smiled faintly: \"If you are really worried, you can focus on the Straw Hat Pirates. They are indeed different from other pirates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Then why do they still want to be pirates? Wouldn't it be better to be adventurers?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl shook his head: \"Do you think there is a difference between adventurers and pirates in the eyes of the World Government?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain shook her head and didn't speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Don't think too much. Just act as if they don't exist. On second thought, Vice Admiral Garp couldn't possibly raise his grandson to be a heinous villain, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Then what about Vice Admiral Garp’s son, Dragon? Wait, I remember now. Revolutionary Army leader Dragon was once Navy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Loguetown.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You guy really have big news wherever you go! You can become the world's greatest swordsman just by going out for a meal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Smoker seemed a bit envious. After all, he had been in the Navy for so long and hadn't made the headlines many times. The only times he did were by taking advantage of Karl.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Not to mention him, ever since Karl came to the Navy Headquarters, no Navy had higher exposure than him. Not even the three Admirals; after all, they had already had their glory days.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What can I say about this? I really just wanted to have a meal there. Who knew Hawk-Eye would suddenly come to the East Blue?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"By the way, what about the Krieg Pirates? Were they all caught?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl shook his head: \"Didn't catch them, but they should all be dead. Hmm... at least Krieg should be dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Smoker frowned: \"Is that so... that's fine. Anyway, most of his subordinates are nobodies, so it doesn't matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl patted Smoker on the shoulder: \"I came this time to say goodbye. We have to go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Smoker was stunned, then showed a smile: \"Got a mission?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I'm not as relaxed as you. After all, I am a Navy hero!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Tch! Can't be bothered with you. Let me tell you, I have already submitted an application to Marshal Sengoku. I will be transferred to the Grand Line before long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Smoker’s eyes widened. Is he being that perfunctory?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Get out, get out, get out! I get angry just seeing you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hahahaha, I wish you an early arrival in the Grand Line. Ain, let’s go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Rare Animal Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A sloppy man hiding in a treasure chest looked at the heavily injured man in front of him and couldn't help but scratch his head.\u003C\u002Fp>",1147,"2026-06-16T20:20:52.563Z","2026-06-17T08:56:49.806Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d44b2042ff4a3020348bdaa42f4f10f37e587aff47c9bfc4bbd49dbb7af4249f","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-223","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-221",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-cover.jpg"]
