Chapter 295
"You are Karl?" The old man in the black suit spoke.
Karl nodded: "Yes."
"You did a good job this time. Not only did you save the face of the World Government in time, but you also saved several World Nobles. We have all kept your contribution in mind."
Karl smiled unhurriedly: "It was just a matter of convenience, not worth mentioning."
The bald old man in the Taoist robe gently adjusted his glasses: "You should know why we called you over this time, right?"
"I'm not very clear, but Fleet Admiral Sengoku said it seems to be about the Hero's Medal."
"That's right, it's about this matter. The Navy has a history of several hundred years, but until now there has only been one Navy Hero. Do you think you are worthy of the Hero's Medal?"
The one who spoke was the younger-looking guy with blonde hair. Karl turned his head to look at him and said indifferently: "If there is to be a next Navy Hero, why can't it be me?"
"Guarding the G-10 base for three years, I have fought against all four Emperors of the Sea. Although I couldn't send them to Impel Down, they couldn't take advantage of me."
"The vicious criminal who destroyed Mary Geoise - Enel, even Admiral Kizaru couldn't catch up with him, but I was able to take him down and kill him at an unprecedented speed, saving the face of the World Government."
"If the next Navy Hero isn't me, then who else could it be?"
The bald old man snorted coldly: "What a big tone."
"No, you think too much, I'm just telling the truth."
Several Five Elders looked at each other, exchanged glances, and then the old man with white curly hair at the head nodded and said to Karl with the posture of a superior.
"You are very confident, this is a good thing. In my opinion, the next Navy Hero can be you, or it can be someone else."
"However, I think more highly of you. But if you want to become a Navy Hero, you must prove your loyalty to the Navy and the World Government."
"Therefore, you have to complete a difficult task before we can safely and boldly award you the Hero's Medal."
"Of course, you can also refuse, we won't blame you..."
Karl grinned and revealed a smile, with a hint of mockery in the smile: "What task? Please feel free to order."
"After the Mary Geoise attack incident, the Alth Kingdom in the West Blue announced its withdrawal from the World Government member countries. For this, we feel very sorry."
"But after the investigation by the CP department, there is a hidden reason for their withdrawal from the member countries."
Karl raised an eyebrow: "Is it directed by the Revolutionary Army behind the scenes?"
The curly-haired old man who spoke was stunned. Damn, you've learned to answer ahead of time, good awareness!
"That's right, it is indeed the Revolutionary Army making trouble behind the scenes. We have reasonable grounds to suspect that the entire Alth Kingdom has become a base for the Revolutionary Army. Therefore, your task is to go to the West Blue."
"Destroy the Alth Kingdom and strangle all potential Revolutionary Army members in the Alth Kingdom in the cradle."
Karl said without changing his expression: "No problem."
Several old men looked at Karl unexpectedly. This guy is a bit different from what they imagined!
They thought he was another Aokiji or Garp, but they didn't expect this guy to look exactly like Akainu.
What does this mean? It means he is very easy to control and is a good tool man.
"Very good, Vice Admiral Karl, you are indeed worthy of the test for the Navy and the World Government."
"How about this! We will give you half a month. After half a month, destroy the Alth Kingdom, and we will hold a grand award ceremony for you."
"Let the whole world witness the birth of the next Navy Hero!"
Karl nodded slightly: "Thank you, my lords. Time is tight, I'll go first."
After Karl left, the middle-aged man with blonde hair said: "This is a good seedling, can be cultivated."
"If every Navy man were this obedient, it would be great."
Outside the building, Sengoku's eyes lit up when he saw Karl come out: "How is the situation?"
"They asked me to destroy the Alth Kingdom in the West Blue before they would award me."
"Alth Kingdom?" Sengoku's face changed.
Alth Kingdom, King Alth VIII is a well-known wise monarch, loving his people like his own children, and his reputation has always been very good. But in recent years, the national economy has not been good. In order to pay the high Heavenly Tribute, he has long been unable to make ends meet. This year's Heavenly Tribute was barely gathered by him selling palace property and selling goods at low prices.
Therefore, on the day the Mary Geoise attack incident was announced, Alth VIII withdrew from the member countries on the grounds that the World Government couldn't even protect itself, so how could it protect the member countries, wanting to let the country recuperate and get back on track.
"Why? What did they say?" Sengoku asked anxiously.
Karl told everything. Sengoku immediately slapped his thigh: "These guys clearly want to give other member countries a warning. What Revolutionary Army, are they lying to children?"
"Karl, you can't go. Once you go, your reputation will plummet. Even if you become a Navy Hero, it will only be in name."
Karl said calmly: "Fleet Admiral Sengoku doesn't need to worry, I have my own two-pronged strategy."
