Chapter 27: Internship Ship Sets Sail

After the "Navy Competition" ended, there was a three-day holiday.

There were no slacking tasks during the holiday, and Karl expressed that it was very "damn," but there was no way. Only workdays were called slacking; on holidays, you can do whatever you want!

"Ah! It's already eight o'clock! No, I'm going to be late! Karl, stop messing around!"

Mo Nika scrambled out of bed, pushing away Karl's mischievous hands. It was all Karl's fault; he had tossed and turned all night, causing her not to rest well.

"Mm, you go! I, I'll sleep a little longer."

Subsequently, a slight snoring sound rang out in the room. Mo Nika quickly packed up and left the room.

One hour later...

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Who?"

"It's me, Smoker. I know you're home, open the door quickly!"

Smoker? Why is this guy looking for me? No way, since someone came to the door, Karl had to climb out of bed.

"What are you looking for me for? Hey! Why is there a woman!"

The woman was naturally Hina, who had long pink hair, wore a dark red suit, had a cold and glamorous face, and like Smoker, had a cigarette in her mouth.

Although Karl knew her name, they didn't know each other on the surface, so he could only pretend not to know her.

"Oh, this is Hina. We were trainees in the same batch of the training camp. She can be considered my good friend!"

Hearing "considered," Hina's face turned cold: "Hina is very disappointed. We've known each other for so many years, and I'm only 'considered' a good friend?"

"Uh, fine, fine, fine, you are my good friend, okay! Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you about this. Karl, let's go, come with me to the training ground!"

Karl had an "Oh, what are you doing" expression, pushing Smoker's hand away.

"Is there something wrong? It's not easy to have a holiday! I'm not going to the training ground!"

Smoker sneered disdainfully: "Don't think I don't know. Master Zephyr told me everything, don't pretend here."

"We didn't decide the winner yesterday! Let's compare again today!"

"Not going, I admit defeat, okay!"

Karl refused without thinking. How could you, a Logia type, be embarrassed to ask for a sparring match with someone who doesn't even know Armament Haki!

"Hey! At worst, I won't use elementalization, okay! Let's have a real fight, how about it?"

Karl looked at Smoker suspiciously, seriously suspecting that he just wanted to find his place and teach himself a lesson.

"Come on, Karl! You can't stay at home for these three days, right? Maybe if we spar, you'll suddenly awaken Haki?"

Hey, don't say that; what he said actually made some sense. Zephyr had long told him that the probability of awakening Haki during combat was higher.

But whether it was him or Shuzo, they could easily handle Karl and couldn't give Karl any pressure at all. After all, he couldn't beat them.

So an opponent like Smoker who was evenly matched with him was the best tool man.

"Alright! Wait for me to pack up!"

Fifteen minutes later, Karl and Smoker stood on both sides of the training ground in turn, with Hina acting as the referee.

"Are you both ready?"

Karl patted the Holy Light into his body, his strength rose in a straight line, and his physique on the panel also temporarily changed from C to C+. If converted into enhancement cards, it would probably take more than 50 cards to raise his physique from C to C+.

"Come on!"

Shave!

The two touched and broke out, fighting back and forth.

The next two days of the holiday were basically spent in sparring with Smoker and Hina.

Now, Smoker was not Karl's opponent at all on the premise of not elementalizing.

It was fine when his stamina was abundant, but once his stamina was exhausted and he revealed a flaw, he would be taken away by Karl, who still had abundant stamina.

Simply put, the healing provided by Holy Light plus the stamina consumption reduction provided by 【Moving as a Rabbit】 made Karl's physical fitness far exceed Smoker and Hina.

Especially the recovery ability, which was not inferior to Zoan ability users.

Of course, if Smoker turned on elementalization, it would be very difficult for Karl to defeat Smoker.

Besides Smoker, Hina had also sparred with Karl several times. Hina's ability was the Cage-Cage Fruit, and her control ability was very strong. Once locked by her, Karl found it difficult to break free. The two could be considered evenly matched.

As the saying goes, you don't get to know each other without fighting. Karl soon became friends with these two young Navy generals of similar age.

"Phew~ Thank you, Karl. Your ability is really great. No wonder your sustained combat ability is so strong!"

Hina closed her eyes comfortably, feeling the warm energy wandering in her body. The injuries left by sparring with Karl just now healed instantly, and even her stamina recovered quite a bit.

Although she had been healed like this many times, she couldn't help but sigh.

"That's not a lie! If we could capture pirates with Karl, it would definitely be very easy, and we wouldn't have to worry about getting hurt. No wonder the three Admirals all want Karl to be their adjutant!"

After personally experiencing Karl's ability, Smoker sighed more than once about why he ate the Smoke-Smoke Fruit; he couldn't do anything, and in the end, he still had to use martial arts.

"Hahahaha, look at what you guys are saying. We are all Navy; we will definitely have a chance to fight side by side in the future."

Smoker nodded: "That's true. By the way, you're going to capture pirates tomorrow, right!"

"That's right, leaving in the morning."

Whether there was a holiday or not didn't matter to Karl; anyway, most of the time was used for slacking off. On the contrary, there were no daily tasks on holidays.

"I wish you a smooth internship. I'm leaving tomorrow too. How about you, Hina?"

"Hina is going to the New World with Staff Officer Tsuru tomorrow. Recently, a newcomer named Jack from the Beasts Pirates is too arrogant, so Staff Officer Tsuru is preparing to implement a capture plan for him, so she asked Hina to help."

Karl's heart moved, thinking that they wouldn't be able to meet for a long time in the future, so should they have a meal together or something? But thinking about it, he gave up, after all, they both had missions.

"Since that's the case, let's part ways here! We must have a good gathering next time we meet!"

"It's a deal!" "Hina agrees!"

The next day.

"Mo Nika, I'm going out to perform a mission this month. Wait for me to come back obediently, okay?" ===== CHAPTER 29 =====
