Chapter 238: Proactive Ain

Marineford.

Sengoku hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sengoku, how is the situation?"

Sengoku looked at Staff Officer Tsuru on the side and shook his head: "The Bai Huzi Pirates have withdrawn. It seems they don't want to fight us either."

Staff Officer Tsuru showed a smile: "Newgate certainly won't fight us. This guy values his family very much."

"But the existence of the Bai Huzi Pirates has seriously affected the situation of the sea. One day, we will inevitably take action against the Bai Huzi Pirates, right?"

Staff Officer Tsuru nodded: "Correct, but not now. As Newgate ages, his strength will only get weaker and weaker, so the later we take action against him, the better."

"Because once we take action against him, we must win! And win beautifully!"

"Phew~ Yeah! By the way, what do you think of this kid Karl?"

"Karl? Let me think..." Staff Officer Tsuru closed her eyes, looking thoughtful.

"Has strength, has courage, has wisdom, knows how to measure. The only drawback is that his attitude toward pirates is a bit extreme. This point is a bit like Akainu."

"Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Sengoku showed a smile: "When do you think Karl can become an Admiral?"

Staff Officer Tsuru frowned and shook her head: "It's too early to say this now. Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru are all still at their peak. How could there be a position for Karl? Unless you step down and let one of them become Fleet Admiral, then Karl would have a chance."

"Correct, that's exactly what I'm thinking."

"You want to retire?"

Sengoku nodded: "Correct. I'm already 72 years old. It's time to give way to the young people. But now is not the time. At least we have to solve Newgate before we talk about it."

"That's a matter for the future. However, Karl can compete for Admiral candidate. After all, he is a Navy officer who possesses Conqueror's Haki."

After speaking, Staff Officer Tsuru sighed, looked out the window, and lamented: "Time passes so fast! In the blink of an eye, we've become an old man and an old woman."

"Yeah! Thinking back then..."

G10 Base.

Ain paced anxiously in the office, looking out the window from time to time, hoping to see Karl's figure from the port.

Today, Karl lost an arm to let her leave. Although with Karl's ability, it was fine as long as it was reattached, her mood was still very complicated.

At the same time, she remembered what Sister Gion had said to her, and she silently made a decision in her heart: as long as Karl returned safely, she, she would...

"Hmm~ your office actually has a massage bathtub! It's really enviable!"

"Hahaha, of course. I spent 20,000 Berries to install it. The effect is great, but you old man won't be able to enjoy it, hahaha!"

Hearing the voice coming from the opposite office, Ain felt happy. Karl is back? When?

"Karl!"

Pushing the door open impatiently, Ain saw Kizaru's wrinkled face, and then Karl, who was unscathed. Ain ignored Kizaru directly and hugged Karl.

"Great! Hmm, you're fine!"

Kizaru pouted, pointed at Karl, then pointed at Ain, unable to speak for a long time, then showed a teasing look, stood on the side with his hands on his hips, watching with interest.

Karl hinted wildly with his eyes, but Kizaru not only didn't leave, but became even more rampant. ===== CHAPTER 240 =====
