Chapter 24

Sakazuki stood up with a *swoosh*, looking at Kizaru in disbelief: "What! It can also be used on others!"

A flash of light passed through the eyes of the half-awake Aokiji. Without a word, he took off his eye mask, propped up his chin, and watched the duel between Karl and Smoker seriously.

"Otherwise, why do you think I like him?" Kizaru looked at the excited Akainu and the suddenly serious Aokiji and felt some regret.

Showing off seemed a bit too early! What if these two guys went back on their word?

Then Kizaru stopped talking, burying his head in watching Smoker and Karl pecking at each other like small fries, thinking only of ending it quickly and then finding Karl to finalize things, otherwise something would definitely go wrong!

The scene returned to Smoker and Karl.

Smoker was panting slightly, while Karl was basically not panting at all, because he not only had Holy Light for endurance but also the divine skill 【Moving as a Rabbit】 that reduced physical exertion. This level of intensity was nothing at all.

On the other hand, Smoker, because he was competitive and loved to show off, voluntarily gave up his advantage, leading to him being evenly matched with Karl now, and even slightly at a disadvantage.

He was, after all, only 3 years older than Karl. After Karl used Holy Light to strengthen himself, the advantage in physique was also wiped out, and he could only rely on his rich actual combat experience to circle around Karl.

"Hey, your name is Karl, right! I recognize your strength!"

"Hahahaha, Major Smoker, if you hadn't voluntarily given up the advantage of the Logia type, I would definitely have lost."

Smoker smiled reluctantly and didn't answer, thinking that once Karl learned Haki, his advantage would also be gone. But it shouldn't be that fast; he hadn't even seen the shadow of Haki yet, let alone Karl, this rookie.

"Time's up!"

Shuzo's voice sounded, and the battle officially ended. Smoker breathed a sigh of relief.

He gave up the advantage of the Logia type and fought Karl to a draw, which wasn't too ugly. After all, this kid was indeed a monster.

Zephyr, wearing a purple suit, walked up, holding a microphone.

"The last group of battles has ended. I, in the capacity of Navy Chief Instructor, announce that the 24th Marine Training Camp has officially ended!"

"Good!" *Clap, clap, clap*~

Applause erupted, and the recruits cheered. After two months of devilish training, they had finally graduated!

The officers in the stands were suddenly eager to move. They had long since selected the talents they liked and were just waiting to find them after the dismissal.

Kizaru's eyes under his sunglasses squinted slyly at Aokiji and Akainu beside him, his body already prepared. As long as that old man Zephyr announced the dismissal, he would immediately rush over to find Karl.

Definitely not giving these two bastards any chance!

"... Starting from tomorrow, the next month will be your internship period. All recruits in the training camp will be involved in the whole process of capturing pirates!"

"You will personally experience the ferocity and cruelty of pirates. You are Navy elites! Only after experiencing the baptism of blood can you be considered true Navy!"

"Uphold justice, maintain peace, justice will prevail!"

As Zephyr's voice fell, the recruits' shouts rose and fell, shouting the Navy's slogan loudly!

"Justice will prevail!" "Justice will prevail!" "Justice will prevail!"

Karl felt a little emotional. It had finally arrived, Master Zephyr's destined day.

As early as seeing Binz and Ain, he understood that there would be a disaster in the future, and it was precisely this painful defeat that led to the "Not-Killing Admiral" becoming the extremely ruthless Z.

But fate had already quietly turned its gears. Without the trouble of asthma, would Zephyr still lose his arm because he couldn't defeat that snot-nosed guy Weevil, cry bitterly watching his students' corpses, and eventually become completely disappointed in the Navy?

"Very good, I see those guys have been impatient for a long time, hahahaha! Since that's the case, dismissed!"

The Vice Admirals in the stands moved at the news, walking toward the recruits one by one with smiles on their faces, occasionally letting out lewd laughter, making the group of newbies shiver.

Karl thought that anyway, he had been reserved by Kizaru, so he simply turned and walked away.

The next second, a golden light flashed, and Kizaru's tall figure suddenly appeared in front of Karl.

"Bo-fu... uh, Admiral Kizaru, you're here!"

Kizaru looked serious, looking around like a thief, and whispered: "No time to explain to you, come with me quickly!"

"Hey! Borsalino, don't be so anxious! Could it be that we don't even have the qualifications to take a look?"

Kizaru slowly turned his head to look. Aokiji and Akainu were walking toward them side by side, with faint smiles on their faces, although Akainu's smile was uglier than crying.

"My god! The three Admirals actually took a fancy to Karl at the same time. What kind of luck is this?"

"Luck? It's clearly strength, okay! Isn't Karl the strongest in our batch?" "That's true too."

In the envious eyes of other recruits, Karl felt his scalp go numb. At this moment, he finally knew why Master Zephyr told him not to expose his ability; it turned out to be really troublesome.

Karl couldn't afford to provoke any of these three big shots, and didn't dare to offend any of them. Fortunately, Kizaru had recruited him in advance, giving him at least an excuse.

"Cough, little brother Karl, you haven't forgotten what I told you before, right! Come and be my adjutant! Just report to me directly after the internship period ends."

After speaking, Kizaru winked at Karl frantically, signaling Karl to act according to his eyes, but Karl remained unmoved.

Just kidding, you wear those shitty sunglasses every day; who can see your eyes clearly?

Feeling the curious gazes of Akainu and Aokiji, Karl was panicked. Fortunately, Kizaru's words reminded him.

"Of course, Admiral Kizaru, I..." "Wait a minute!"

Kizaru's face turned livid as he looked at Akainu. Goodness!

I didn't expect you, Sakazuki, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to actually go back on your word! ===== CHAPTER 26 =====
