Chapter 29: Open and Aboveboard

"Ain, you seem to be in a good mood!"

Ain narrowed her eyes and showed a happy smile: "Yes, Brother Karl, after the internship period ends, I can become a subordinate of Staff Officer Tsuru. I admire her very much!"

"That's great! But it can be considered a gain and a loss!"

Ain was stunned. She understood the gain, but what was the loss?

"Why, why?"

Karl let out a long sigh and showed a handsome smile at Ain: "Because it will be hard for you to see a Navy as handsome as me again."

"Yue! Karl, you are so narcissistic!"

Karl smiled without saying a word, took the bounty order for this internship mission from Ain's hand, and read it with relish.

"Hunter Knife Pirate Group, Captain Zaker, bounty 24.5 million Berries, skilled in swordsmanship. Whoa, how scary~"

Hey, why did he start sounding like Kizaru before he even became Kizaru's subordinate?

Ain seemed very dissatisfied with Karl's attitude, raised her pink fist, and expressed angrily: "Zaker has done all kinds of evil, not only looting Autumn Island but also killing more than twenty innocent civilians. I will definitely not let him go!"

"Hahahaha, that's for sure. Under my leadership, we will definitely complete this internship mission perfectly. Don't worry!"

Ain looked at Karl suspiciously, and then her gaze narrowed: "By the way, Karl, what exactly is your ability! You should be able to say it now, right?"

"This..."

"It's okay, Karl. Now you are all Navy on the same ship, comrades-in-arms. It's best to let them know your ability in advance."

Zephyr suddenly appeared behind Karl and said, and without waiting for Karl to answer, he gathered the recruits again.

"Karl, it's up to you." After speaking, Zephyr smiled and retreated to the side.

Looking at the curious and confused gazes of the recruits around him, Karl took a deep breath and showed a smile.

"I suppose everyone has been curious about my ability for the past two months, but for some reasons, it was not convenient for me to disclose it to everyone."

"But it's time to confess to everyone."

As soon as the voice fell, Karl stretched out his right hand, condensing a golden light cluster, which still shone with its brilliance even under the scorching sun.

"Everyone, this is my ability. I named it Holy Light Power. It currently only has two effects: one is healing, and the other is strengthening!"

Subsequently, Karl took a pistol from behind, aimed at Binz, who was eating melons on the side, aimed, and fired!

*Bang~*

"Ah, ah, ah, ah!"

Blood bloomed on Binz's thigh. Binz looked at Karl in confusion. Meow, meow, meow?

Then he let out a miserable scream, holding his thigh and rolling around.

Zephyr frowned on the side, but thinking that with Karl's ability, there shouldn't be too much of a problem, he didn't say anything and let Karl play on his own.

"Everyone, pay attention. Binz was shot. If he is hit in battle, his combat power will drop sharply, and post-battle recovery will also take a while."

"But..." Karl threw the Holy Light in his hand toward Binz, who immediately stopped screaming, looking confused.

Others only saw a black bullet fall out of Binz's leg and roll on the ground.

"What!" This, what kind of terrifying recovery power is this? No, it must be Karl's thing, Holy Light!"

The recruits surrounded Binz in a swarm, tearing open Binz's pants to check the injured area, but looking closely.

Except for the bloodstains left just now, there were no signs of injury.

"This is the healing effect of Holy Light. Of course, the strengthening effect varies from person to person, and everyone's feelings are different. Does everyone want to experience it?"

The recruits shouted excitedly at Karl: "Of course!"

Karl grinned, put his hands together, and condensed a golden light cluster in his palm again. As the light cluster grew larger, his hands slowly opened until it became a golden light cluster the size of a yoga ball.

"Holy Radiance Redemption!"

*Bang~*

The golden light cluster exploded, but it didn't cause any damage. On the contrary, every recruit illuminated by the golden light rays felt their aura become much stronger.

Karl panted slightly. Strengthening so many people at once was a great burden on his stamina, but fortunately, he had the stamina recovery effect provided by 【Still as a Virgin】, and the consumed stamina could be recovered in about a quarter of an hour.

"I, I feel like I can kill a cow with one punch now!"

"Too strong. I accidentally sprained my ankle yesterday, and after being illuminated by Karl's Holy Light, it's healed immediately! It's too magical!"

Such exclamations were countless, and the recruits of the same batch looked at Karl with hot gazes.

Who doesn't want to become stronger?

As long as Karl is by their side, they can have powerful medical protection and physical strengthening effects at any time. How could this not make them excited?

No wonder Karl kept his ability a secret, no wonder Instructor Zephyr valued him so much, no wonder the three Admirals were fighting to let Karl become their adjutant!

If it were them, they would definitely do the same!

Because Karl's ability is really too strong! He is simply a dream teammate!

"It seems everyone is very satisfied with my ability! Then this internship mission..."

Binz, who had just been shot, immediately shouted excitedly: "Karl, leave it to us!"

"That's right! With your Holy Light, we are not afraid of anything. The small Hunter Knife Pirate Group is nothing more than that!"

Karl nodded with satisfaction. Very good, very good. Now he can finally slack off with peace of mind!

It's just that Weevil, this guy, is always a time bomb in his heart. The key is that he doesn't know when it will explode.

But looking at Zephyr, who was walking with dragon-like steps and still mighty, Karl put aside his worries for the time being. He and Zephyr together would definitely be "ga-ga" slaughtering. He was responsible for "ga-ga," and Zephyr was responsible for the slaughter.

I don't know how long it had been, but Karl had already run to a quiet place to chat and smoke cigars with Zephyr, while that group of recruits was still tirelessly fighting one-on-one to see how strong they were after being strengthened.

Zephyr was too lazy to stop these things. Sailing time was the most boring, so it was good to let them vent their energy.

"Karl, you did a good job just now. To be honest, with your strength, it would be more than enough for you to clean up the Hunter Knife Pirate Group alone, but this situation is exactly what I hope to see."

Karl smiled and flicked his cigar, saying comfortably: "I think so too. Isn't my ability supposed to be used like this?"

"Hahahaha, that's right. The reason the Navy is the Navy is because we are a whole. The strength of one person or a few people doesn't count for much."

"Only by improving the overall strength of the Navy can we better deter those daring guys."

Karl just wanted to say something when Zephyr's Den Den Mushi rang *blu-blu-blu*.

"I am Zephyr, what's the matter?"

"Chief Instructor Zephyr, according to information from the Navy Intelligence Department, the 【Fire Gun】 Pirate Group with a total bounty of 30 million Berries has landed on Spring Island. Your internship ship is the closest warship..."

"Please rest assured, I will rush over immediately!" Zephyr hung up the phone immediately and got up to walk toward the lively deck.

Three minutes later, the internship ship began to accelerate! ===== CHAPTER 31 =====
