Let me tell you, after you and Ain-nee left, I rarely cried anymore!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, that's great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Shirahoshi's actions, it could be seen that she was no longer the Shirahoshi of a few years ago; at least now she had become much more cheerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirahoshi, don't be rude, let go of Karl-sama quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, sorry Karl-sama, I, I was just too excited. Are you okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl, who was put on the ground, waved his hand: \"I'm fine, I'm not that fragile. It's a real pity! I should have called Ain over to see. The 'Cowardly Star' from back then has grown up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Karl's praise, a blush appeared on Shirahoshi's face, and she said shyly: \"Ka, Karl-sama, don't say that, I'll be embarrassed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl seemed to suddenly think of something and quickly took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and dialed Ain's number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Karl, what's up? Fire! Eliminate this pirate crew!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirahoshi, who was on the side, quietly moved closer and pricked up her ears to listen. That voice seemed to be Ain-nee's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl: ???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, are you capturing pirates?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's fine, go ahead! Just small fry. What's the matter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl glanced at Shirahoshi and then said: \"Do you remember Shirahoshi?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirahoshi? The princess of Fish-Man Island, of course I remember her. What happened to her? Did something go wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not at all. I came to Fish-Man Island and have already met Shirahoshi. Do you want to talk to her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirahoshi, who had been waiting impatiently, said quickly: \"Ain-nee, I'm Shirahoshi, do you remember me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, of course I remember you, little Shirahoshi. I'm very sorry, I can't come to see you in person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's okay, Shirahoshi is already very happy that Karl-sama could come. Hee-hee, it's so good to hear your voice!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ain, who was commanding Marine soldiers in battle, felt a warmth in her heart and said dotingly: \"You really are exactly the same as before! Uh, Ain-nee is a little busy right now, I'll call you later, okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmhmm, then Ain-nee, I'll wait for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Ain hung up the phone and looked at the pirate ship on the sea ahead, narrowing her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Karl-sama, how about this, you chat with my daughter Shirahoshi for a while, I'll have someone arrange the luncheon immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good, good, I'll bring Shirahoshi over directly then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Neptune left with peace of mind. To be precise, he was very at ease with Karl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps the people of Fish-Man Island didn't know what had happened in the outside world over these years, but as their King, he knew very well: Karl, the Marine Hero of the new era, was an incredible figure!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, he didn't discriminate against fish-men.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his father leave, a smile appeared on Shirahoshi's lips, and she whispered to Karl: \"Karl-sama, ever since you and Ain-nee left last time, no one has told Shirahoshi about things outside anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you tell me about them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, what do you want to know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirahoshi pouted, thought hard for a while, then widened her eyes and said excitedly: \"Right, I heard Father say before that Karl-sama is already a Marine Hero! A big hero! Can Karl-sama tell Shirahoshi how you became a big hero?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl grinned: \"That's a long story!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the story was finished, Karl successfully gained a little—uh, big fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Karl-sama is so amazing. Sigh! I really hope that one day I can go see the outside world too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, there will be such a day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl nodded and said seriously: \"Of course it's true, that day won't be far off, I promise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirahoshi also straightened her face and said in a grown-up manner: \"Mmhmm, I believe Karl-sama.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Brrr-brrr-brrr*~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl's phone rang; it was Ain calling. Shirahoshi's eyes lit up immediately: \"Is it Ain-nee?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it's her. It seems she's finished with her work. Here, take the Den Den Mushi, you talk to Ain yourself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirahoshi happily picked up Karl and placed him in front of her. Karl quickly put the Den Den Mushi into Shirahoshi's hand and jumped down from her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, Shirahoshi, you talk to Ain yourself! Call me when you're done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmhmm, okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hour later, the Den Den Mushi's mouth was almost worn out before Shirahoshi reluctantly returned it to Karl. Karl couldn't help but feel some sympathy for the Den Den Mushi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren't for the fact that the luncheon was almost starting, Karl estimated these two women could talk for a whole day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shirahoshi, it's about time, the luncheon is about to start, let's go together!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, Karl-sama, you sit on Megalo! That way it'll be faster!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl looked at the silly, cute shark beside Shirahoshi. Honestly, it was the first time he had seen a shark that looked so \"smart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryugu Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, Shirahoshi, Karl-sama, you're just in time, the luncheon is ready, we were just waiting for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three princes beside Neptune bowed and saluted Karl obediently: \"Hello, Karl-sama!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, hello, hello. Oh my, it's been so many years, you've all grown up quite a bit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come, sit, sit, sit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The luncheon began soon, and various exquisite ocean delicacies were served—uh, some seaweed, clams, fish, etc. This couldn't help but remind Karl of the painful memory of getting tired of seafood when he came to Fish-Man Island back then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But eating was secondary; the important thing was to discuss the Marine stationing with Neptune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"King Neptune, the meal is almost over, so it's time to talk about business. I didn't come to Fish-Man Island this time just to visit Shirahoshi. There is something I want to discuss with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neptune raised an eyebrow, looked at his children beside him, and said softly: \"You all go back and rest first!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl waved his hand: \"No need, no need to avoid outsiders. They have the right to know about this matter too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neptune took a deep breath and put on a serious expression: \"Please speak, Karl-sama.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl grinned: \"Then I won't hold back, I'll be direct. The Marines are planning to build a Marine branch on Fish-Man Island to protect Fish-Man Island.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neptune's breathing stalled: \"What?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The eldest prince, Fukaboshi, also showed a shocked expression: \"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirahoshi was still confused; she was a pure \"white lotus,\" she didn't understand anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, this is the result of my discussion with Fleet Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan. I wonder what King Neptune thinks?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Karl took a document out of his pocket, handed it to Neptune, and then started eating the food on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For such a big matter, he should give him some time to digest it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1135,"2026-06-16T20:20:52.563Z","2026-06-16T20:55:41.535Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","b0c7fdf7c248f3c60253854649aa153c76292f4505f285b0daa98b8c8c0cbe24","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-303","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-301",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-cover.jpg"]
