Vice Admiral Karl!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Doflamingo honestly retracted his strings and raised his hands to signal surrender.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing Doflamingo soften, Karl retracted the Raven and said lightly: \"Behave yourself now that you’re at Marine Headquarters. If you don't want to sit in the Warlord position, there are plenty of people who want to, understand?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A few drops of cold sweat flowed down Doflamingo’s head. He had really thought he was going to die just now, because this guy really wanted to kill him!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hancock, sitting in her seat, snorted coldly. Doflamingo was as annoying as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Everyone stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sengoku walked over slowly with his file processor (the little goat). Today, he was dressed for the occasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fleet Admiral’s cloak, dazzling honorary medals...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sorry, I haven't greeted everyone yet. I didn't expect you to really come, pirates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Doflamingo felt a sense of relief when he saw Sengoku arrive. With Sengoku watching, Karl shouldn't be able to act recklessly, right!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Seeing no one reply, Sengoku sat in the main seat and gestured for Karl to sit beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"In my opinion, there’s no point in waiting any longer. Four out of the six Warlords have arrived. The attendance rate has far exceeded my expectations, after all, this isn't a mandatory summons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Doflamingo walked to the opposite side of Sengoku with an arrogant gait, saying as he walked: \"That’s right. Originally, I didn't want to come, but since the construction project in Dressrosa is going so smoothly, I was just bored, so I came.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After finishing, Doflamingo originally wanted to sit on the table to show his uniqueness, but seeing Karl teasing the white Raven on his shoulder, Doflamingo chose to be sensible.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"So that’s how it is. That’s really a headache, because the more prosperous your pirate business is, the busier we Marines are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Fufufu, it sounds Move Move Like you’re envious. Wouldn't that be a disgrace to your title of 'Buddha'? Fleet Admiral Sengoku?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hancock, sitting opposite Karl, flicked her hair and said arrogantly: \"I’ve been listening to nonsense for half a day, can we get to the point quickly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If it continues Move Move Like this, I’m going back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>To be honest, if it weren't for the chance to go out and walk around openly with Karl, she would never have gotten involved in such a boring thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mihawk nodded: \"That’s right. If there is still hostility between Marine Headquarters and the Warlords, then this round-table meeting has no meaning, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Doflamingo chuckled and looked at Mihawk with interest: \"I heard you lost to Vice Admiral Karl a while ago. I thought you were already dead. I didn't expect you to be so lucky.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Mihawk glanced at Doflamingo lightly and didn't answer his question. He didn't Move Move Like social butterflies very much.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sengoku waved his hand: \"Alright, enough of this nonsense. Since no one else is coming, let’s officially start the meeting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I’m truly sorry, Fleet Admiral Sengoku. I wonder if I might have the honor of listening in on this meeting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No, it might be a little bit different from just listening in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Hearing this effeminate voice, everyone present looked at the window on the left side of the conference room. It was a guy wearing a top hat.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Who are you? Where did you come from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The guy wearing the top hat curled his mouth upward: \"There are truly many big shots here today! If you don't mind, I have a request.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then he began to play with the cane in his hand, doing a tap dance, his feet pattering on the ground. After dancing, his body struck an awkward pose, his right hand resting on the edge of his top hat, and he gave a seductive smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His pale face and eerie red lips combined to look very creepy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Please, everyone, be sure to let me participate in this meeting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"This meeting is to select a successor to replace Crocodile after his title was stripped a while ago, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Marine officer sitting next to Karl seemed to recognize this man and asked uncertainly: \"You are Laffitte, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sengoku turned his head: \"Laffitte?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Oh my, oh my, you actually know my name. It’s truly an honor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then the Marine officer began to talk about Laffitte’s background. Laffitte was a famous sheriff in the West Blue who had been exiled from the country for excessive violence in law enforcement.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Laffitte chuckled: \"Those are all old stories, and my affairs are not worth mentioning; they are not important at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I came here to recommend a man to become a Warlord... his name is... Teach.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A flash of light passed through Sengoku’s eyes. This guy was Teach’s subordinate!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How interesting! His subordinate actually dared to break into Marine Headquarters alone, just to recommend his captain to become a Warlord?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One had to admit, he had a lot of guts.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Teach?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That’s right, that is the great name of our pirate crew’s captain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sengoku curled his lip: \"I’ve never even heard of him. Let me tell you honestly, a guy Move Move Like this, who no one has ever heard of, can’t intimidate other pirates at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Laffitte nodded noncommittally, not caring at all about Sengoku’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yes, you are right. Regarding this point, our crew has already made a foolproof plan. Please give us a little more time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Fufufufufu~ How interesting. Hey, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, just let them try!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Doflamingo’s thinking was very simple: he just wanted to watch the show.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The name of our pirate crew is the Blackbeard Pirates. I hope all you big shots will remember it well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With this, Laffitte had achieved his goal. Under everyone’s gaze, wings grew from his back, and he flew into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Caw?\" The Raven tilted its head, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl watched Laffitte’s retreating back, the corners of his mouth curling upward. It was getting closer and closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I think his proposal is not bad. Anyway, the purpose of calling the Warlords to a meeting is to find Crocodile’s successor. Since someone is recommending themselves, we save some trouble, don't we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Of course, if anyone here has other candidates to recommend, we can study them further.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After Karl finished speaking, he looked at Doflamingo. You talk the most, so let’s start with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Doflamingo waved his hand: \"I don't care. I think that Blackbeard Pirates crew is pretty good. Letting them try is fine too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Then Karl looked at Mihawk. Mihawk said lightly: \"I have no opinion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>When Karl’s gaze fell on Hancock, Hancock secretly winked: \"I have no opinion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Bartholomew Bartholomew Kuma, who had no presence, put down the book in his hand, dropped a \"no opinion,\" and then disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This Warlord meeting could only end in such a hasty manner.\u003C\u002Fp>",1166,"2026-06-16T20:20:52.563Z","2026-06-17T08:56:49.806Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","52e4b43872633ae555384fa2c2c6a89208a0805841a2a27214f717571b42398b","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-253","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-251",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-cover.jpg"]
