Someone come and take Sanji away, or he'll die from excessive blood loss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usopp sighed and complained with some confusion: \"What on earth did Sanji experience in these two years? He was a bit lecherous before, but not to this extent, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Smack*~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami punched Sanji on the head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"OK! Done. By the way, this should be the place, right? Camie seems to be a waitress here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Right, I remember. Anyway, let's find Camie first! After all, she's the only acquaintance we have on Fish-Man Island.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, Robin is right, let's go in and find Camie!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the Straw Hat crew was about to enter the Mermaid Cafe, a burst of laughter came from inside; it seemed someone was about to come out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl, covered in lipstick marks, was seen walking out, surrounded by five smiling mermaid ladies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my, Karl-sama, don't be in such a hurry to leave!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah! Stay and play a bit more!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmhmm, tell us more of your stories!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl chuckled and pulled his arm out of the mermaid ladies' bottomless cleavage, waving his hand: \"No, no, next time for sure—uh, tomorrow for sure, I'll definitely come tomorrow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a pity, then you must come tomorrow! We'll be waiting here for your return!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, I'm a man of my word. If I say I'll come tomorrow, I guarantee I'll come tomorrow. Alright, alright, no need to see me off, I'm going...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his head, Karl saw the Straw Hat crew in front of him. At this moment, they all had their mouths wide open, their faces full of shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Robin snorted coldly. Men!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Hoo*~ *Ha*....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a coincidence, I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly. It seems you have something to do? Then I won't disturb you. I have some urgent matters to handle—uh, we'll meet again, see you later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Swish*—in an instant, Karl disappeared without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Usopp reacted and asked in a daze: \"If I didn't see wrong just now, that was Admiral Karl, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's him, no mistake. I didn't expect that a dignified Marine Hero would have such a hobby...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanji took a deep breath, as if he had found his goal: \"That's truly... amazing! Everything here is exactly as I imagined!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This place is my ALL BLUE!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami's eyes narrowed slightly, she raised her fist, *Bang*!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world suddenly became quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh! Nami, Robin! Brook, Chopper! You really came! Why didn't you tell me in advance?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Camie? Great! Finally found you, ahhhhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami rushed forward, hugged Camie, her tone full of joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, Ryugu Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Karl had changed into a different outfit, the tropical beach style, and walked straight in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop, don't move.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Ryugu Palace guard blocked Karl, preventing him from moving forward. Another guard, who seemed more experienced, rubbed his eyes in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After confirming it was Karl, he quickly shouted: \"Sorry, Karl-sama, he's new and doesn't recognize you. Please wait a moment, I'll notify King Neptune immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl smiled slightly: \"It's fine, go ahead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Report!!! King Neptune, Karl-sama is here, he is currently at the gate of Ryugu Palace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neptune, who was discussing something with his ministers, widened his eyes: \"Karl, is it that Karl?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I definitely wouldn't be mistaken.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lead the way! I want to receive Karl personally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, the guard, knowing the extraordinary status of the human male in front of him, answered Karl's question tremblingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shi, Shirahoshi-hime? She's been fine lately, haven't, haven't heard of anything unusual.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Is that so? Could it be that I came too early?\" Karl scratched his head and looked at the Ryugu Palace ahead. It looked Move Move Like Neptune was already on his way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Long time no see, Karl-sama, welcome to Fish-Man Island again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, long time no see. You look much younger, King Neptune.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neptune actually blushed and waved his hand: \"Not at all, not at all. Speaking of which, Karl-sama is the one who hasn't changed at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's exactly the same as when you came last time. Does your excellency never age?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been several years since Karl last came to Fish-Man Island, yet Karl's appearance had remained frozen at that moment. Who wouldn't be confused by that? It was no wonder the guard could recognize Karl at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, let's not talk about that. By the way, King Neptune, how is Princess Shirahoshi? She should be much braver now, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neptune nodded with a smile: \"That's for sure. All of this is thanks to your excellency for dealing with Vander Decken IX, otherwise Shirahoshi would probably have had to stay in the dark Hard-Shell Tower forever.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, just a small favor. Actually, I came here this time specifically to see Shirahoshi. This year, she is exactly 16, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! In the prophecy, Shirahoshi should awaken this year, but I don't know why, Shirahoshi doesn't seem to have any signs of awakening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl rubbed his chin and looked up at Neptune: \"I want to go see Shirahoshi, may I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. Speaking of which, Shirahoshi has also been thinking about you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Are you sure she's thinking about me and not Ain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neptune scratched his head awkwardly, because Karl was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Led by Neptune, Karl arrived at a beautiful castle. It was a castle built of various colorful corals and reefs, looking both beautiful and dreamy from the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"King Neptune...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm here to see Shirahoshi, you all step back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After opening the door, Neptune shouted loudly: \"Little Star, Father is here to see you! I have a surprise!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soft, sweet voice came from inside the castle immediately: \"Father, I'll be right there!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Shirahoshi, sitting in a large bubble, appeared with her pet shark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirahoshi was no longer the little mermaid in Karl's memory. Now, she had flowing long pink curly hair, adorned with a taiyaki-shaped hair accessory. She wore a pair of seashell-shaped earrings, had bright blue eyes, a beautiful appearance, and a full bust. Her lower body was a pink fish tail with varying shades. She was truly a beauty comparable to Hancock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirahoshi, you've grown up...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, what's the surprise? Let me see... Eh! You, you are...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Karl next to Neptune, Shirahoshi covered her mouth with both hands excitedly, her fish tail swaying non-stop, very excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Long time no see, Shirahoshi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1099,"2026-06-16T20:20:52.563Z","2026-06-16T20:55:41.535Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","ee7859e2e25ead9642bc0b63d271dbe663080f4092f5ec5cadf9fe6cb72315fa","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-302","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-300",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-cover.jpg"]
