You are over three meters tall! How could I be on equal footing with you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yuanzi pouted and smiled, took a look at his watch, and then said: \"Oh, sorry, I have to go to the West Blue first. Let's talk next time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Goodbye!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With a whoosh, Kizaru disappeared in front of Karl instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yuanzi was gone, and Ain wasn't there either, so Karl simply went to find Hancock. In Amazon Lily, it was truly an emperor-Move Move Like enjoyment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Raven, take me to Sky Island.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Caw! Ahhhhhhh! (Don't you know how to whoosh and take off?)\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Shut up, don't you want to be massaged by the people of Amazon Lily?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Caw?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Once Raven heard this, how could it bear it? It hurriedly grew larger and flatteringly lowered its head to offer itself to Karl's pant leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You're rebelling!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl wouldn't go to Alabasta; it was mainly meaningless to go. With Smoker's ability, it should be fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As for the likes of Ace and Luffy, Karl didn't count on Smoker being able to catch them. After all, these few had some weirdness on them, and Smoker definitely couldn't handle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Actually, what Karl was most concerned about right now wasn't Luffy, but Ace.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If he remembered correctly, it was after the Alabasta incident that Ace found Teach, had a fight, and then knelt.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ace was the fuse that triggered all the events; he absolutely couldn't have any accidents.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Caw caw!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Raven's cry interrupted Karl's train of thought. Karl couldn't help but pat Raven's back: \"What's wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Raven tried hard to stretch its neck, signaling Karl to look below.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl looked down and was shocked!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He had flown the route from Marineford to Sky Island on Raven not 1,000 times, but at least 800. It could be said that Karl knew the situation on this route Move Move Like the back of his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl was very certain that there used to be an uninhabited island here, but now it was gone, leaving only a black pit under the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As far as Karl knew, there weren't many people who could move an island, and he happened to know two.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One was Oars from 500 years ago, and the other was the Float-Float Fruit user, Shiki the Golden Lion.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The former was already dead and was sleeping in the Florian Triangle, while the latter was highly likely.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Karl couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Lower altitude, see what the situation is!\" \"Caw!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the sea surface, Karl carefully examined everything around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The coastline was still there, and the seawater was very turbid, indicating that the desert island hadn't been moved for long; it was very likely within these few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although he had passed by here yesterday, it was already night, and the visibility wasn't good, so he might not have noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Raven, fly around in a circle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Caw?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If I tell you to fly, then fly, don't talk nonsense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Caw...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Raven had no choice but to start flying around the coastline.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Increase altitude, good, don't go any higher, keep circling.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Raven flew, while Karl watched seriously, because it was impossible to take an island away without leaving any traces; at most, there would be a little less.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl jumped off Raven's back, condensed shining golden wings on his back, landed steadily on the sea surface, and then the golden wings disappeared, replaced by Holy Light condensed on the soles of his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In this way, Karl could walk freely on the sea surface. Those who didn't know would think Karl was using chakra to tread water.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Speaking of which, the reason Karl chose to stop here was because the seabed here was different from other places.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Because it was a coastline, the seabed here wasn't deep, about 20 meters, so as long as one had good eyesight, one could easily see the situation on the seabed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Compared to other places, there were many black stones on the seabed here, extending all the way to the big pit in front.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The deeper you went, the more there were.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What did this mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It meant that the island was indeed \"alive\" and pulled up, and it flew in this direction; otherwise, it wouldn't have left a stone path.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl turned his head to look in the direction behind him: \"That side seems to be... the Calm Belt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Raven, let's go, fly toward the Calm Belt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Caw!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl had basically determined that the person who took the desert island was Shiki the Golden Lion, and he had also gone toward the Calm Belt.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If Karl picked up the speed, he might be able to run into this guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shiki's ability was very important, at least to Karl it was very important.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although he couldn't guarantee he could get Shiki's Float-Float Fruit right now, one thing Karl was very certain of was that only when the Golden Lion died would the Float-Float Fruit have a chance to see the light of day again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Raven's speed was very fast, moving all the way toward the Calm Belt.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After flying for nearly 5 hours, almost flying out of the Calm Belt, he still had nothing to show for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl couldn't help but shake his head. The sea was ultimately too big. It wasn't that easy to run into someone. If it were that easy to find someone, why would the Marines wander around everywhere to catch a pirate?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Caw! (Hungry)\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl waved his hand: \"I know, look, there's a desert island ahead, let's go there and rest for a night!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was an island located on the edge of the Calm Belt. Although it was large, it was also very dangerous, because this island was full of ferocious beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Roar~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Bang~\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A tiger the size of a three-story small villa was knocked down by Karl with one punch. When it fell to the ground, it made a loud noise, and dust scattered everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You say you, wouldn't it be better to just honestly let me slide-tackle you to death?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Raven! Raven, get ready to eat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A vague caw came from the forest in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After a while, Raven flapped its wings and descended from the sky, but it seemed to be carrying something in its mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Eh, why are you eating vegetables? Changed your nature... hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing Raven placing the fruit it was carrying into Karl's palm Move Move Like a treasure, Karl was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The flashy appearance, the winding patterns, isn't this a Devil Fruit?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Where did you find it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Caw caw caw ah ah ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Raven cawed for a long time, but Karl didn't quite understand. Anyway, he could only understand bird language Move Move Like \"eating\" and \"tired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This fruit... tsk tsk, it should be a Zoan type. I don't know exactly what it is. Good luck, Raven!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Caw caw (Still not adding a meal?)\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl understood this sentence and pointed to the big tiger on the side: \"Look, this is our dinner.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Southern part of the desert island, sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Master Shiki, who had been busy all day (moving the island), twisted his neck and said to a group of meteorologists.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Finally left the Calm Belt. Let's stop here for today, continue tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Shiki left with a ding, ding, ding-ding.\u003C\u002Fp>",1296,"2026-06-16T20:20:52.563Z","2026-06-17T08:56:49.806Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","f7c66183b2d35850931a044e266380e2c310fd26400e9d98d595fb84eaf5c324","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-242","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-240",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-cover.jpg"]
