They don't want to challenge me to a duel between swordsmen, do they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Aokiji shook his head with a smile: \"How could that be? Don't they know your strength? I guess they just want to see how big the gap is between them and the world’s greatest swordsman!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sigh~ that’s a troublesome matter. Let’s not talk about that. What about you? Aren't you very busy lately? How do you have time to return to Navy Headquarters?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Aokiji smiled bitterly: \"It’s not that I don't want to be busy, but recently the monsters in the New World seem to have guessed something, and they have all kept a low profile. There’s nothing I can do!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Oh? There’s such a thing? What about Admiral Akainu?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sakazuki? I don't know. It just so happens that I’m free tonight, so I’ll treat you to a meal. Ain, you come too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain looked at Karl. Seeing that Karl didn't object, she decisively smiled: \"Mm-hmm, Admiral Aokiji, I will come with Karl tonight.\" Karl nodded slightly, defaulting to Ain’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Aokiji smiled and walked slowly past Karl, soon walking far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Do you think Admiral Aokiji invited us to dinner because of that matter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl spread his hands: \"If you ask me, who should I ask? Anyway, if someone is treating, it’s free not to go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Can't be bothered with you. I’m going to see Master Z. Are you coming?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl pointed to the Headquarters building: \"You go first! I have to go to Fleet Admiral Sengoku’s office.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Mm, hurry up and come over!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fleet Admiral’s Office.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Karl, you’re back. Was that big bird just now yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Mm, the Raven underwent a tiny change. By the way, guess who I met in the East Blue this time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, the old man knows you are now the world’s greatest swordsman. Do you have to hang it on your lips every day?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl waved his hand: \"It’s not that. I met Vice Admiral Garp’s grandson in the East Blue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sengoku was slightly stunned, then said: \"Monkey D. Luffy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Eh, you know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Nonsense. You don't know that during the time that kid was just born, Garp, that bastard, nagged in my ear every day until the old man’s ears were almost calloused. How could I not remember him? What happened to him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You guess?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sengoku snorted: \"Went to be a pirate, what else? The whole Monkey family are freaks!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What did you do to him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl shook his head helplessly: \"What could I do to him? Anyway, he didn't cause any big trouble, so I have to give Vice Admiral Garp some face, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hmph, with the nature of the Monkey family, sooner or later they will cause a big incident. That little monkey isn't one to sit idle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing Karl didn't speak, Sengoku continued: \"Since you’ve already met Garp’s grandson, what do you think of him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Strength is not bad.\" Sengoku nodded. He is Garp’s grandson after all, his talent must be maxed out, and it’s normal to be recognized by Karl.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ability is not bad either.\" Mm, Sengoku nodded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Brain circuit is not quite normal.\" Right, right, right, that’s it, Sengoku couldn't agree more.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The people of the Monkey family, their brain circuits are just different from normal people. Garp doesn't even need to be mentioned; he always does some bizarre things. It’s considered mercy that he didn't give the old man a cerebral hemorrhage all these years.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And his son, who wouldn't be a good Navy officer and insisted on starting some Revolutionary Army. This isn't... uh, cough, cough, young people, have drive, understand, understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That’s about it! After all, I haven't met him many times, but this kid is indeed not the kind of pirate who lives by burning, killing, and looting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sengoku offered a faint smile: \"If that were really the case, with Garp’s nature, he would probably send his grandson to Impel Down with his own hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You don't have to worry about Luffy anymore. Smoker will keep an eye on them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Smoker?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sengoku took out a document and slapped it on the table: \"Here, this is the message Smoker sent to the old man. His only purpose in coming to the Grand Line is to arrest the Straw Hat Pirates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>*Rustle rustle rustle*~ After a simple flip through, Karl shook his head helplessly. Smoker really was at odds with Straw Hat Luffy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sigh, then I wish them good luck! By the way, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I’m going to the New World in the next two days. Don't come looking for me unless there’s something urgent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, even if there’s an emergency, it won't be your turn, kid!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Night, a restaurant in the Marineford family area.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This is a restaurant opened by Navy families, and the chef’s skills are very good. Karl had also come to eat here before.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hello, which private room is Admiral Aokiji in?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The waiter covered her mouth in shock after seeing it was Karl: \"Oh my god! Vice Admiral Karl, welcome, welcome. Please come in. Admiral Aokiji is in Room 204 on the second floor. The food will be served soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl nodded slightly and walked upstairs with his arm around Ain’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Admiral Aokiji, my appetite is very big. Don't let yourself go bankrupt by the time I’m done eating!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Just call me Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan. Karl, Ain, sit down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl and Ain chose to sit opposite Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan. Not long after they sat down, the waiter brought up the fragrant dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After eating a few bites, Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan stared straight at Karl.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Karl, do you remember the question I asked you before? At that time you said it was still early. Now, can you tell me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl put down his chopsticks, and Ain on the side picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan, actually you and I both know the answer, don't we? I’m just a small Navy Vice Admiral, it’s useless for you to ask me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan shook his head: \"It’s not good to be overly humble, Karl. You are no small Navy Vice Admiral; you are a Navy hero of the new era. Neither I nor Sakazuki has as much prestige as you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Besides, I just want to hear your thoughts. Who do you think is more suitable to be the Fleet Admiral?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl pinched his eyebrows and sighed helplessly: \"Maybe you don't know, Fleet Admiral Sengoku already asked me this question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan’s eyes lit up: \"Oh? And what did you say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan, I think it’s better for you to be the next Fleet Admiral than for Akainu to be the next Fleet Admiral.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan offered a smile, but Karl’s next sentence made his face stiffen.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"However, what’s more important for becoming Fleet Admiral is the idea of the World Government. They need an obedient Fleet Admiral, and in their view, Sakazuki is very obedient.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This is Sakazuki’s advantage, and a big one!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan asked in confusion: \"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"How do you think I got the Hero Medal? It was by doing a dirty job for the World Government that they thought I was on their side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1240,"2026-06-16T20:20:52.563Z","2026-06-17T08:56:49.806Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","d11a6851906fda0ed510007576a3b3736697f64cc7ddd5984dcbd7c9c91da33c","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-234","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-232",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-cover.jpg"]
