He believed Shirahoshi wouldn't talk nonsense, but Neptune might not be so sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to Karl's account, Neptune looked at Karl deeply, his eyes filled with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Karl-sama, it seems you are the 'Promised Person' from the prophecy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirahoshi, who was on the side, asked curiously: \"Promised Person? What is a Promised Person, Father?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neptune leaned back slightly against the throne: \"That is a prophecy passed down in the Fish-Man Royal Family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every eight hundred years, a mermaid with royal blood will awaken as the Sea King Poseidon. At the same time, a 'Guide' will be born, responsible for guiding the messenger of Poseidon, also known as the Promised Person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Promised Person is Poseidon's closest partner and the only person in this world who can influence Poseidon's good or evil. Shirahoshi has fulfilled her wish to become the Sea King Poseidon, and Karl-sama, you are Shirahoshi's Promised Person!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl rubbed his cheeks. So... I'm just the driver? Wait, something seems wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"King Neptune, that's a bit of a stretch! No matter what, I've only spent less than a month with Shirahoshi, how did I become her closest partner? I'm a married man, you can't just talk nonsense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, I'm serious, Karl-sama. I am very certain, because only the Promised Person can earn Poseidon's unconditional trust.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And from today on, whether it's me or the citizens of Fish-Man Island, we will naturally also trust you unconditionally!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, Fish-Man Island will do everything in its power to cooperate with your work. Please also trust Fish-Man Island, trust me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neptune's words were sincere, making Karl feel a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Karl had never been a person who followed the rules; in his view, ancestral teachings and rules were simply unimportant, so Karl couldn't understand Neptune's approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since it had come to this, it was impossible for Karl to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh! Since King Neptune has said so, I'll give you the bottom line: Fish-Man Island is a very important part of the Marines' future plans. And when the time is ripe, the Marines will find a way to help the residents of Fish-Man Island leave the seabed and live under the real sunlight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neptune: \"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirahoshi: \"That's great!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the reactions of this father and daughter, it could be seen that Neptune didn't trust Karl 100%, but Shirahoshi definitely believed whatever Karl said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was originally planning to tell you this news after the Marine branch was established, but now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neptune quickly added: \"Please rest assured, our Fish-Man Island will absolutely cooperate with the Marines' work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven days later, Marine Headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your vacation this time was really long! But you handled things quite well. Neptune's attitude is actually so positive. How did you manage that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl waved his hand. He should have returned long ago, but Neptune insisted on letting Karl and Shirahoshi cultivate their relationship further and build a stronger bond, forcing him to live the life of a babysitter in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, since the matter has been discussed, let's stop with the questions, okay? Let's think about when to take action against the Big Mom Pirates!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of this, Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan got excited and said spiritedly: \"Everything is ready, just waiting for Big Mom's Tea Party to begin. At that time, the Marines will launch a surprise attack on Totto Land! We'll strive to destroy Totto Land within a day. As for Big Mom, it's up to you guys.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, so confident?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan said with a chuckle: \"I have confidence in you guys.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then how many troops are you planning to deploy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A total of 30 warships, 2,000 Marine soldiers, 1,000 Marine officers, 15 Marine Headquarters Rear Admirals, 10 Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals, and three Admirals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa~ that's a big move! It seems Big Mom is doomed this time! You really know how to pick a day, specifically choosing the time when Big Mom is holding her Tea Party.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course. Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan had considered it seriously. According to reports, Big Mom hadn't had a hunger pangs episode for a while, and the Tea Party was held largely to satisfy Big Mom's appetite, and only secondarily for some plotting. After all, with her power, no matter how much she plotted, it would be the same; she couldn't flip the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meant that during this Tea Party, there was a high possibility that Big Mom would have a hunger pangs episode. A Big Mom in a hunger pangs episode was a highly destructive internal threat, which could greatly relieve the pressure on the Marines.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Additionally, the Tea Party could concentrate the officers of the Big Mom Pirates on Whole Cake Island, making it convenient for the Marines to encircle and annihilate them. How convenient!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh~ if it weren't for the fact that Rear Admiral T-Bone's ability can only reach this level for now, I would have wanted to bring more people!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"T-Bone? He is indeed a talent worth cultivating.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan nodded in agreement. If T-Bone hadn't eaten the Float-Float Fruit, he would have been a Vice Admiral at most in his life, but with the Float-Float Fruit, his strategic status was directly elevated to the same height as Karl's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having both T-Bone and Karl, this pair of \"crouching tiger, hidden dragon\" talents, the Marines could be said to have had their ancestral graves smoke with good fortune.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan, I've been on Fish-Man Island for these past few days. Did the Straw Hat crew successfully reach the New World?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan was stunned for a moment, then took a document from the drawer and handed it to Karl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take a look for yourself! This is a fax sent by Smoker, which details his encounter with the Straw Hat crew on Punk Hazard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl took it and flipped through it directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Caesar? Wasn't this guy wanted a long time ago?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of which, a few years ago when he was still a Major, he had met Caesar. At that time, he was still a scientist at the research institute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who knows! I thought he would be wandering around, but he went straight back to the forbidden zone to conduct some disgusting experiments. It's just a pity that Smoker couldn't capture them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So where is he now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If nothing goes wrong, he should be in the hands of the Straw Hat Pirates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl shook his head: \"Forget it, I can't manage that much. When is Big Mom's Tea Party?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seven days from now. The theme is the wedding cake. This time Big Mom has her eyes on the Vinsmoke Group, but I don't know exactly who is marrying whom. The invitation didn't say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Karl nodded: \"Fine, I know. Then I'll rest for these few days, call me when the fighting starts!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the corners of Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan's mouth twitched: \"Rest? How many days have you been resting already?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1203,"2026-06-16T20:20:52.563Z","2026-06-16T20:55:41.535Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","0bc6b274a2288e7480a4fecc8bbfa6e69b261bde81f082085275df6c3b177f54","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-306","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-304",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-cover.jpg"]
