Chapter 235: Confronting Bai Huzi
After landing on the deck, Karl walked straight toward Ain.
But obviously, the people of the Bai Huzi Pirates wouldn't let him take her away so arrogantly. One by one, they blocked Ain, looking at him with hostility.
Karl chuckled and said to Ain with a smile: "Restore this guy to his original state!"
Hearing Karl's words, Ain restored Thatch to his original state without hesitation, but looking at the hostile pirates around, her beautiful eyes were still full of worry.
"Now, can you let me pass?"
Karl showed an innocent smile. At this moment, a man wearing an open dark blue shirt, revealing chest hair, scolded him unceremoniously: "Don't be too arrogant, Navy!"
"This is the ship of the Bai Huzi Pirates, not Marineford!"
Karl's smile gradually faded, and he said expressionlessly: "I said, let me pass."
"What if I don't?"
The atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point. Many Bai Huzi Pirates had already drawn their weapons, ready to take action at any time.
With a bang, Bai Huzi slammed his armrest. The Bai Huzi Pirates turned to look at their Pops.
"Gurararara, what a daring Navy officer! Let him pass!"
Karl turned his head to look at Bai Huzi, then strode toward Ain. The Bai Huzi Pirates also cleared a path, but their eyes were fixed on him, as if they wanted to see through his every move.
Walking to Ain's side and untying her bonds, Karl said softly: "Later, I will have the Raven send you back to the G10 base."
Ain nodded, but suddenly her expression changed, grabbing Karl's arm: "Then what about you?"
"Me?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine. You don't have to worry. I've already contacted Admiral Kizaru, and he'll be here soon."
"But..."
"There are no 'buts'. This is an order." Then Karl whistled, and the Raven descended from the sky.
"Do you think we don't exist? Is the Moby Dick a place you can come and go as you please?"
Karl turned to look at the pirate who spoke: "She leaves, I stay. Is there any problem?"
"Speaking of which, she is only a Colonel, and I am a Vice Admiral. You guys even made a profit!"
Bai Huzi's mouth curled up slightly, and he said in that powerful voice: "Hero saving the beauty? Very interesting. Brat, you should remember that a year ago, Whitey Bay's Witch Pirates were destroyed because of you, right?"
"Correct, I did it."
"Then you should know that the Witch Pirates were an affiliated pirate crew of the Bai Huzi Pirates. Daring to take action against my people—the consequences are very serious."
"However, considering that you didn't make things difficult for Whitey Bay, today I can let this female Navy officer leave. But, you must pay a price! Otherwise, Gurararara~"
Otherwise what, Bai Huzi didn't say, but everyone present knew it well. Whitey Bay, standing in the crowd, showed an excited look.
Karl looked at Ain, then at Bai Huzi, and showed a smile: "Fine..."
The next moment, Karl backhanded and drew Lei Yu, slashed down, and plop, an arm fell onto the deck.
"Karl? No!!!"
Karl stopped Ain, who wanted to rush over to use her ability, and looked at Bai Huzi with a pale face: "Is this price enough?"
Gulp...
The Bai Huzi Pirates present looked at Karl in shock. This Navy officer was a ruthless man! An arm! He cut it off just like that.
For a woman, was it worth it?
A flash of strange color crossed Bai Huzi's eyes. He didn't expect this brat to be so decisive, giving up an arm just like that.
"Enough. Since that's the case, this female Navy officer can leave, but the grudge between you and us hasn't been resolved. You must stay!"
Karl pulled out a smile: "Fine." Then he called the Raven down, turned his head to look at Ain: "You go first, don't worry about me!"
"No, I, I won't go!" "This is an order!"
"Raven, take her back to the G10 base. Don't listen to anything she says!"
"Gaa!"
Riding on the Raven, Ain looked at Karl with grief: "I'm leaving, what will you do?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I promise to return to G10 safely. I still have to celebrate your birthday!"
Ain took a deep breath, bid farewell to Karl with red eyes, and flew toward the sky riding the Raven.
After Ain left, Karl finally breathed a sigh of relief. Ain was gone, so he had no worries. Now he just needed to hold on until support arrived.
Kizaru, you better come quickly!
"Hey, doesn't it hurt?" Ma Erke looked at Karl with a complicated expression. No matter what he had done before, at least everything he had just done made him empathize.
If his family encountered this situation, he would also give up an arm without hesitation!
"Hurt?"
Karl shook his head, squatted down to pick up the left arm on the ground, and put the cross-section of the arm together. The man lowered his eyes, and a dazzling white Holy Light rose from his body.
His pale complexion became rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye. When the light dissipated, Karl shook his left arm. Hmm, no discomfort at all. Holy Light is the best!
Ma Erke:...
Bai Huzi:...
What the hell kind of recovery is this! Cutting off an arm is like playing? You can just reattach it like that?
"This, how is this possible?"
"Was it that white light just now?"
Teach, hidden in the crowd, suddenly had eyes that became incomparably eager. This kind of ability seemed very good too! Unfortunately, it was Paramecia, which conflicted with his plan.
Karl grinned: "It doesn't hurt now. Bai Huzi, whatever moves you have, try them out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Karl's gaze condensed, erupting with a daunting aura. Under the impact of Conqueror's Haki, the pirates on the Moby Dick fell in large numbers. Those who could stand under Karl's Conqueror's Haki were all commander-level figures.
"What! That Navy officer actually possesses the aptitude of a king? This, how is this possible?"
Even Bai Huzi was shocked. Conqueror's Haki? And a Navy officer?
This guy is really not simple!!!
But, so what? Releasing Conqueror's Haki in front of him was no different from a provocation. Bai Huzi immediately erupted with stronger Conqueror's Haki, forcefully suppressing Karl.
This aura was the confidence and boldness of having roamed the sea for many years. Karl, who had just awakened Conqueror's Haki, soon fell into a disadvantage in the clash of Conqueror's Haki, but his goal had been achieved—at least all the small fries on the ship had fallen.
"As expected of the strongest man in the world, what an astonishing aura!"
Bai Huzi let out a light laugh, stood up from his seat, picked up the Supreme Grade sword Murakumogiri, and walked slowly toward Karl.
"Brat, you're not bad either. It's a pity, you shouldn't have been a Navy officer."
Karl looked up at Bai Huzi, thinking: If I wasn't a Navy officer, should I be your son? But this guy is really tall! More than 6.5 meters. Three of him added together wouldn't be as tall as Bai Huzi!
Is this a human? Oh, Pirate World? Then it's fine.
"What's wrong with being a Navy officer? Only by being a Navy officer do I have the chance to sweep you remnants of the old era into the grave of history, right?"
"What did you say!!!"
"Try saying that again?"
Before Bai Huzi could speak, his sons were already anxious. It could be said that they were filled with righteous indignation, but no one dared to take action.
"Arrogant brat, I'd like to see if you have the strength!"
After saying that, Bai Huzi picked up Murakumogiri and slashed at Karl's shoulder. The surrounding air suddenly stagnated.
Karl didn't change his expression, quickly drew the Autumn Water at his waist, and blocked Bai Huzi's attack horizontally, but didn't block it completely.
Bai Huzi was old, and although his stamina had declined significantly, his physique was still at the world's top level. Even without using his ability, he relied on his powerful strength to press Karl into the deck.
Karl blushed, used all his strength to deflect Bai Huzi's big sword to the left, and then immediately drew Lei Yu to launch a counterattack.
"Elbaf Spear: Ikoku!"
Swish~
A huge red flying slash rushed straight toward Bai Huzi's scarred chest. Bai Huzi snorted coldly, raised his fist, and threw a punch.
The Ikoku sword energy released by Karl dissipated instantly, but that wasn't the end. The power of the tremor was instantly transmitted to Karl's body. It was like being hit by a dump truck; Karl was sent flying directly. ===== CHAPTER 237 =====
