Chapter 241

Sengoku grinned and touched his beard in surprise: "Oh? You have an interest in tea as well?"

Karl smiled without a word. Just kidding, he had drunk more tea than Sengoku had peed; no one understood tea better than he did.

"I know a thing or two. By the way, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I was doing just fine at the G10 base, why the sudden order for me to become an Admiral Candidate?"

"Actually, I had the intention of making you an Admiral Candidate three years ago, but Staff Officer Tsuru felt you were still young and needed more seasoning, so..."

Karl quickly said: "But I'm still very young now! I'm only 28. There isn't a younger Vice Admiral in the headquarters, is there? How am I qualified to be an Admiral Candidate? Fleet Admiral Sengoku, why not just let me continue guarding the G10 branch!"

Sengoku's expression changed, and he said testily: "Stop putting on an act in front of me. Do you think I don't know what you do at the base every day? Good grief, you live better than I do, *cough cough*."

"In any case, it's a waste for you to stay at the G10 base. Whether you can become an Admiral Candidate or not, I need you to take action, exert your strength, and practice the Dao of Justice!"

Karl scratched his nose as if nothing had happened, masking his embarrassment.

"You will stay at the Navy Headquarters for these next few days. In a few days, Kuzan, Kizaru, and Akainu will come over to test your strength, so be prepared."

"What? Is becoming an Admiral Candidate this much trouble? I have to fight all three Admirals?"

Sengoku shook his head: "That's not it. They are mainly there to bear witness, to prove that you truly possess the strength to be an Admiral Candidate. You can choose to fight whoever you want!"

Karl let out a sigh of relief; that scared the life out of him.

A siege by the three Admirals—who could withstand that! ===== CHAPTER 243 =====
