Chapter 32: Setting Sail for the New World

The next day.

After saying goodbye to Monica again, he stood straight by Crescent Moon Bay, dressed in a black suit and wearing the Justice cloak, waiting for Kizaru's warship.

Whoosh~

"Are you ready for your first mission? Adjutant Karl?"

Karl slowly turned his head, and what came into view was Kizaru's tall figure.

"Of course, Admiral Kizaru. What is our mission?"

Kizaru said with some distress: "A very troublesome mission. The target is a newcomer to the Beasts Pirates."

Beasts Pirates, newcomer? Karl remembered the mission Tina mentioned a month ago. It seemed they were talking about capturing Jack back then. It looked Move Move Like Vice Admiral Tsuru had already succeeded.

"Isn't escorting pirates the job of Impel Down? Why are we doing it?"

"Get on the ship first! I'll explain it to you later."

After Karl boarded the ship, the warship rushed toward the Red Line without stopping, heading to the New World through the pass of the Holy Land, Mary Geoise.

Kizaru also explained the origin of this mission to Karl.

Simply put, after Vice Admiral Tsuru successfully captured Jack, she discovered that his identity was not simple. At only 19 years old, he had become one of the three All-Stars of the Beasts Pirates and was highly valued by Kaido.

Coupled with the fact that the Beasts Pirates had become increasingly rampant in the New World recently, Vice Admiral Tsuru had formulated a plan against Kaido of the Beasts to dampen his spirit. ===== CHAPTER 55 =====

First, they had to lure Kaido out, and Jack was the best bargaining chip. Therefore, two Admirals were participating in this operation, Aokiji and Kizaru. As Kizaru's subordinate, Karl naturally had to join this tricky mission.

"So, our mission this time is very arduous! After all, we aren't facing some small fry!"

Karl remained calm. Arduous? I don't think so. I'm a Headquarters Major; you can't expect me to go head-to-head with Kaido, right? In the end, it'll still be you and Aokiji doing the work, and I'll just be in the back adding BUFFs.

"Kaido of the Beasts, one of the three overlords of the New World? He is indeed a difficult guy. But I'm curious, the Marines have captured Kaido more than once, and every time he has been able to escape unscathed."

"Is there any certainty of killing him in this operation?"

Kizaru pursed his lips with an indifferent expression: "Who knows! Just follow the mission; don't think too much!"

Actually, the reason for capturing Kaido wasn't just to dampen his spirit; another point was to extract his lineage factor.

Vegapunk's [Artificial Devil Fruit] project was about to yield results, but Kaido's lineage factor was running low, so they requested the World Government to capture Kaido quickly to donate blood, which indirectly facilitated this plan.

But Kizaru didn't want to reveal too much to Karl; he would naturally know when the time came.

Soon, the warship crossed the Red Line through the transport device at the bottom of Mary Geoise and arrived in the New World.

Compared to the way pirates came to the New World, it was convenient and fast, and most importantly, safe.

During this time, Karl also saw the Holy Land, Mary Geoise. It had to be said that this place was indeed luxurious and grand, worthy of being the place where the World Nobles lived.

But through the superficial prosperity, the filth and decay inside were far beyond imagination.

After arriving in the New World, Karl looked at the scene, which was no different from the first half, and couldn't help but sigh: "Is this the New World? It doesn't feel any different from the first half!"

Speaking of which, he used to hang out in the North Blue, and recently came to the Grand Line, not expecting to reach the New World so quickly.

He had finally awakened dual-color Haki, but he didn't even get a chance to bully the weak before having to face a behemoth Move Move Like the Beasts Pirates. He really just wanted to slack off!

"Truly a newborn calf that's not afraid of tigers! Adjutant Karl, the pirates in the New World are very scary!"

Karl's mouth curled slightly. He had already prepared himself for this and didn't have any special feelings. After all, he was hanging out with an Admiral; he couldn't go to the Four Seas to bully the weak every day!

He wasn't Smoker!

"Haha, by the way, Admiral Kizaru, Kaido won't really come to save Jack alone, will he?"

Kizaru scratched his head: "As for that... based on my understanding of Kaido, he will definitely come alone."

Alright, Kaido is still Kaido. If he comes alone, Karl is relieved. Now he doesn't have to worry about his life; he can just be a good support.

One day later.

Kizaru's warship successfully rendezvoused with Aokiji at the G-2 base, and Vice Admiral Tsuru had been waiting for a long time.

"Kizaru, Aokiji, you've come just in time. The news that Jack is being held at the G-2 branch has been released. If there are no accidents, Kaido will definitely come to break him out. I'll leave it to you two."

Aokiji seemed to respect Vice Admiral Tsuru very much and smiled at her: "That goes without saying."

Kizaru was still in his usual off-key manner, focused on trimming his nails. Karl, standing to the side, felt very helpless about this.

But Vice Admiral Tsuru seemed to have long been accustomed to Kizaru's attitude and instead turned her gaze to Karl, who was standing beside Kizaru, revealing a kind smile.

"You must be Major Karl!"

Karl quickly saluted Vice Admiral Tsuru and said in a full-voiced tone: "Yes."

"I heard your ability has healing and strengthening effects. When that guy Kaido comes, I'll have to trouble you to put in some effort."

"Don't worry, Vice Admiral Tsuru, even if you didn't say it, I would do so."

"Hehehe, that's good, that's good..."

After the small combat meeting, Karl also saw Tina, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, at the G-2 base. Beside her was a tall, cold, and beautiful woman.

If there were no accidents, it should be Gion, codenamed Peach Rabbit, a Headquarters Vice Admiral and Admiral candidate.

When Karl saw her, she was wearing a pink tight-fitting top and super-short hot pants. On the outside of her left thigh was a very obvious spider tattoo, and she wore a long sword with a white hilt at her waist.

From Karl's perspective... big chest, long legs, fair skin, and beautiful. No wonder Chaton Gion had confessed 100 times without giving up.

"Karl, Tina knew you would come. Let me introduce you, this is Vice Admiral Gion."

Karl smiled and nodded at Gion: "Hello, Vice Admiral Gion. You are very beautiful. Uh, you and Tina are both very beautiful. Truly the beauty representatives of the Marines."

Seeing the corners of Tina's mouth curl slightly, Karl breathed a sigh of relief. He almost committed a major taboo.

Gion, on the other hand, covered her mouth and laughed: "Little brother Karl really knows how to talk. I'm afraid you've deceived many ignorant young girls, haven't you?"

Karl smiled without answering, because what she said was true. Even though the North Blue was full of handsome men, Karl still relied on his tall and handsome appearance to suppress the crowd, thus becoming a famous heartbreaker in the area.

"By the way, I heard from Tina that your ability has healing and strengthening effects. Can you let sister try it?"

Sigh~ Karl sighed in his heart. Another one craving his... ability. ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
