In a while, I will repay you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gaimon, stuck in the box, laughed honestly: \"No need, no need. I'm already very happy that you can stand up again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sincerity is the ultimate skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mihawk couldn't help but feel a little moved. In the current sea, people Move Move Like Gaimon were too rare. The more Gaimon said this, the more he wanted to repay his life-saving grace.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Gaimon, what is your dream?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Gaimon was slightly stunned: \"Dream? My dream? For the past 20 years, my biggest dream was to get the treasure on this island. Now... that treasure chest is empty, and I have no regrets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Now my only dream is to live carefree on this island with these rare and exotic beasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this, Mihawk couldn't help but look at the strange-looking creatures around him and reveal a helpless smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You really are... Since that's the case, then I'm leaving. When I have time, I'll come find you for a drink.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hehehehe! That's great, then I'll wait for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Stepping onto his coffin boat and bidding farewell to Gaimon, Mihawk set off on his journey again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This time, he was no longer the king standing at the pinnacle of swordsmanship, but a challenger climbing the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Grand Line, Little Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Mr. Sanji. If it weren't for you getting the Log Pose for Alabasta, I really wouldn't have known what to do!\" Vivi hugged Sanji tightly. The youthful girl's body scent made Sanji intoxicated, and he couldn't help but reveal a fanboy-Move Move Like smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It's nothing, it's nothing, you're welcome, hehehe...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Nami glanced at Vivi and said seriously: \"We don't have time to drag our feet here now. We must hurry to Alabasta to save Vivi's country.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Luffy nodded and turned to look at the two giants behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Then, round uncle and long-bearded uncle, we're leaving.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is that so? Alright, you seem to be in a hurry!\" \"Although it's a pity, we won't keep you. Hopefully, your country will be fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is that so? Thank you!\" Vivi said gratefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Goodbye! Don't die again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Master, one day I will go to Elbaf!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When the Going Merry sailed out of the bay, the sea ahead suddenly boiled, and a red behemoth suddenly appeared; it was a giant goldfish.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Has it appeared? The Island Eater!\" \"Let us pave the way for you! Betting on the name of Elbaf!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Blue Ogre Dorry and Red Ogre Brogy roared and raised their respective weapons high.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Red and blue halos lingered on the giant sword and giant axe.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the sea, the Straw Hat Pirates had nowhere to hide and could only trust the words of the two giant uncles, charging straight into the Island Eater goldfish's mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If you want to hurt our friends, get past us first! Island Eater!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Taste the strongest spear of the legendary giants of Elbaf!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Elbaf Spear: Weh-gemony!!!\" *2\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Two shockwaves, one red and one blue, flew straight toward the Island Eater and gradually intersected, forming a huge shockwave interwoven with red and blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With a loud bang, the Island Eater's head was blown open, and the Straw Hat crew was able to set foot on the road to Alabasta.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was just that Nami's physical condition was a bit off...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sky Island, Amazon Lily.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"My dear, why have you come! Why didn't they inform me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>By the old rules, Hancock came up with a \"meat egg onion chicken\" (a tackle), squeezing into Karl's arms. Those two round things almost sent Karl flying, but fortunately, they were full of elasticity, and the shock absorption effect was top-notch.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Isn't it because I've been free lately? I came to see you, so you wouldn't always nag about things Move Move Like, 'Oh, why haven't you come to see me for so long...'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing Karl imitating her speech, Hancock's cheeks flushed red, and she said shyly: \"I'm not that naggy. You must have misheard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Fine, fine, fine, it was me who misheard, okay? By the way, I have a gift for you. Guess what it is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl smiled mysteriously, and Hancock gasped, saying in surprise: \"My dear, have you quit the Marines?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That's great! Now you can finally stay with me every day!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Cough, cough, cough, Hancock, how could it be that exaggerated? Why would I quit the Marines for no reason?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Oh...\" Hancock became visibly disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"But, my dear, you have already given me many things, and I don't lack anything. If you really want to give me a gift, then give me a child! I, I want to be a mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl got a headache as soon as he heard about children. To change the subject, he simply stopped hiding it and took out the Pure Gold ring he had crafted.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Look, what is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking at the gold ring in Karl's hand, Hancock widened her eyes, grabbed Karl's hand with one hand, and covered her mouth with the other, tears faintly flickering in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"My dear, I do, I do! I am willing to be your wife!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hmm? How was this different from what he thought? But now Karl was also riding a tiger and couldn't get off, so he could only bite the bullet and say.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That's right, my dear, you are willing... uh, let's find a time to get engaged first! Marriage is not in a hurry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Engaged? That's great! I'll go find Elder Cocolo right away and have her preside over it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hey, hey, hey! Don't panic, put on the ring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hancock bit her lower lip and shook her head: \"No, I want to wait until the engagement ceremony to put it on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl pulled Hancock into his arms and whispered: \"Do you remember what I told you a long time ago?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"A long time ago?\" Hancock murmured, and in her mind, she couldn't help but recall everything that had happened between her and Karl a few years ago, which seemed to be still vivid in her memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Warlord matter, the moving matter, and what else? Right, that's it, Pure Gold!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The legendary magical metal that could make people live forever. At first, she also hoped to possess it, but Karl had no news for a long time, and in the end, she could only give up this idea and focus on asking Karl for a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Could it be that this ring...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Is this Pure Gold?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl nodded with a smile: \"The real deal. Yesterday in the New World, I happened to run into the Lantern Lord who ate the Island of Steel more than 200 years ago. After killing it, I found the long-lost Island of Steel in its stomach and found the Pure Gold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This, is this true?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What, do you still not believe me? After I got the Pure Gold, I rushed over without stopping!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hancock took the Pure Gold ring from Karl's hand, gently rubbing the ring face with her fingertips, feeling the power it emitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"It doesn't seem to have changed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1191,"2026-06-16T20:20:52.563Z","2026-06-17T08:56:49.806Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","6fd7d002779f195243cae4ff1627365005bd6e58cd8e4579937be3dc655675b4","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-238","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-236",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-cover.jpg"]
