By the way, aren't you going to investigate the Blackbeard Pirates? Where are you planning to start?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hmm... let’s go to Wapol’s castle first. After all, they came here looking for something. If Blackbeard isn't stupid, he would definitely visit Wapol’s castle, and if so, he would definitely leave some traces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That’s true, but this island is also quite big. Do you know where Wapol’s castle is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl turned to look at the doctors and asked loudly: \"Where is Wapol’s castle?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It’s on top of that highest mountain peak over there. If you want to go over, there is a cable car in the town ahead that can go straight there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Good, thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After Nelson gave some instructions, Karl prepared to set off with Ain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No, don't bother Raven. Let’s walk there! I want to stroll with you in the snow, can I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips slightly, reaching out to brush the white snow off Ain’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Of course you can. Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After receiving Karl’s affirmative reply, a brilliant smile bloomed on Ain’s face. She felt extremely sweet inside. She just wanted to hold Karl’s arm tightly, feeling the warmth and love between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>East Blue, Loguetown, Base Commander’s Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Report, sir, a pirate ship has arrived at the west port. Should we go capture them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Smoker flicked his cigarette ash and said faintly: \"What’s the bounty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The bounty is... uh, none! They seem to be a rookie pirate crew, and there are only a few people. The captain is a guy wearing a straw hat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Smoker was stunned for a moment, a smile appearing on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Tsk, tsk, tsk, this group of people came really fast!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sir, I’ll take people immediately...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Smoker waved his hand: \"No need to be so troublesome. Just keep an eye on them, because I want to meet them myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yes! Sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Smoker stood up and pushed open the window, looking at the port not far away, his smile gradually disappearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Although you are Vice Admiral Garp’s grandson, I cannot show you any mercy, Straw Hat Luffy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Today is the day your pirate career ends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It’s just that Smoker didn't know that two other pirate crews had also arrived today...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Perhaps Smoker could brag about today’s scene to his son many years later.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Back in the day, he was also a man who chased two Emperors of the Sea!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Back to Drum Island.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After an hour of trekking, the two finally arrived at the bottom of Drum Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In Ain’s words, this was a winter outing, a walk in the snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It’s so high when you look at it up close. Should we just take the cable car?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl suddenly gasped, causing the already low temperature to drop a few more degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Don't! I don't want to walk in the wind and snow for half a day anymore. Going up isn't simple; Raven, Moon Walk, anything works, it just takes a bit of effort.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain’s willow eyebrows stood up: \"Oh, so you just don't want to walk with me, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ahem, of course not. I can walk with you for a lifetime if you want to walk. I was just afraid you’d get cold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hmph, not a word of truth in your mouth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Then... I’ll carry you up?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain then showed a smile: \"Alright, that’s more Move Move Like it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Let’s go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl grabbed Ain, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and the snow beneath his feet instantly exploded, revealing black soil. Karl and Ain also disappeared in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Drum Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Sniff, sniff~*\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hmm, it seems someone is here. It’s a scent I haven't smelled before.\" The blue-nosed reindeer with a hat on his head and shorts on his lower body showed human-Move Move Like astonishment, quickly putting down the pill in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Dr. Kureha! It’s bad! Someone is here!!! Dr. Kureha! It’s bad...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Swish~* *Clang.*\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A sharp axe flew past Chopper’s ear, embedding itself firmly into the wall. Chopper broke out in a cold sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"So noisy, Chopper! Isn't it just someone coming? What’s so strange about that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chopper said aggrievedly: \"But, it’s a stranger... I’m scared...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Tch, what kind of stranger could it be? Wapol ran away long ago. Could it be that someone is coming to drive us away?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Creak, creak, creak~*\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chopper looked outside suddenly. That was the sound of the castle gate being pushed open.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Aaaaaah, they’re here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain keenly heard Chopper’s scream and asked with a strange expression: \"How is there still a screaming sound in this place? Could it be that someone still lives here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I heard it too. It seems someone really lives here. Just in time to ask them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hey! Locals! Open the door, we are the Navy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Kureha, who was putting on clothes to come out, was stunned: \"Navy? How could the Navy come here? That’s really strange. Hey Chopper, you heard it, they aren't bad people, you coward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chopper, hiding behind the wall with most of his butt exposed, poked his head out. Fine, the whole reindeer was out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Navy? Is it the Navy that catches pirates?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Eh, it should be. I’m going out to take a look. Do you want to come together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Chopper shook his head quickly: \"No, I don't want to go out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Creak...*\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The door was pushed open, revealing Karl’s handsome face with a smile: \"Sorry for the disturbance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Aaaaaah!\" Chopper quickly hid his \"whole body\" behind the wall, \"stealthily\" peeking at Karl.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl patted the snow off his body, looking at the spirited Kureha and laughing: \"Hello, I am Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral Karl. I came here to investigate the Blackbeard Pirates’ attack on the Drum Kingdom. I heard this is the castle of the King of the Drum Kingdom, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"By the way, this is Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral Ain. She is with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain showed a formulaic smile, her eyes looking curiously to the other side. That seemed to be a horned raccoon dog, furry and quite cute.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking at Karl’s face, a glint flashed in Kureha’s eyes. Wasn't this the Navy hero Karl who had been in the spotlight recently? Right, this guy was also in the newspaper yesterday, saying he defeated a little guy named Mihawk in the East Blue, and today he came to the Grand Line. This speed, tsk, tsk, tsk.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Do you also want to know the secret to my eternal youth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Pfft~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Ain suddenly laughed out loud. Karl looked at Ain strangely, and Ain waved her hand apologetically.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ahem, eternal youth? That’s not necessary. I just want to ask if you have any impressions of the Blackbeard group that attacked the Drum Kingdom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what a pity. What a handsome face...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl shook his head helplessly: \"May I ask who you are...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Dr. Kureha, a doctor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1156,"2026-06-16T20:20:52.563Z","2026-06-17T08:56:49.806Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","926bfc1e31650b34812ccec72072447929bcd4a001d2e1b8633a1662052e5258","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-225","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-223",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-cover.jpg"]
