Chapter 34: Chatting

Bathroom.

Karl threw the newspaper aside and muttered impatiently: "System, use all attribute enhancement cards to enhance perception, and use all Haki enhancement cards too!"

After the enhancement was complete, Karl suddenly felt his brain much clearer, and his perception of the outside world was more sensitive, but his perception still hadn't upgraded.

The only surprise was that both Armament and Observation Haki had improved by one level, both becoming LV2.

To verify the effect of LV2, Karl stretched out his right hand and used Armament Haki hardening.

His arm instantly turned as black as ink and could reflect light under the illumination. Then Karl pressed his hand on the sink, and the white porcelain sink was instantly covered with a layer of black.

"Hehe, not bad, the strength has improved a lot. It's a pity it still can't be coated; it still needs to be upgraded."

As for the change in Observation Haki, it wasn't obvious. It was estimated that the difference could only be seen in a combat state.

"Not bad, not bad."

After a while, Karl walked out of the bathroom refreshed, sat down opposite Kizaru, crossed his legs, and lit a cigar.

"Phew~ Admiral Kizaru..." "Bang bang bang!"

Kizaru glanced at Karl, and Karl had to get up to open the door.

"Ain? Why are you here? Oh right, right, right, I almost forgot, you went to Vice Admiral Tsuru's place after your internship ended. Come, come, sit."

Ain saw Kizaru reading the newspaper in the room and quickly waved her hands: "No, no need, Karl, come out for a second."

"Uh, alright!"

Karl had to follow Ain out and close the door by the way.

"What's wrong?"

Ain straightened her expression and looked directly into Karl's eyes: "Karl, do you know what you've done?"

"???"

Karl was full of question marks. He just arrived today! What could he have done?

"Psh! How would I know! If you have something to say, say it directly. I don't Move Move Like guessing riddles!"

Ain put her hands on her hips and sighed helplessly: "Just now, several sisters came to me to ask about you, wanting to ask if you could help them remove their scars. Oh my, it's just to let you use holy light to heal them!"

"Oh, hmm? Remove scars? Wait, I understand!"

Karl remembered that after using his ability on Gion not long ago, her tattoo disappeared. It should have been passed on later, after all, Vice Admiral Tsuru's side was full of female soldiers.

Women, after all! Loving beauty is normal, especially female Marines Move Move Like them who often fight pirates and inevitably leave scars of all sizes. Seeing that Gion's tattoo could be removed, they naturally set their sights on him.

"Ahem, Ain, go back and tell them that there will be opportunities in the future, but not now."

"Kaido of the Beasts is coming soon. As a righteous Marine, I cannot waste my energy on such trivial matters."

Ain looked at Karl, who was righteous and holding a cigar in his right hand. It wasn't that she didn't believe Karl, but Karl had too many previous records, making it impossible for people to believe him.

"Uh, I think so too. This time I will help you refuse, but next time..."

Karl patted his chest with a thud: "Don't worry!"

Who knows when the next meeting will be, unless Vice Admiral Tsuru can snatch him from Kizaru, but Karl probably wouldn't agree either.

Just kidding, twenty-seven or twenty-eight old women, wouldn't they swallow him, this little fresh meat, alive!

Ain left skeptically, thinking of the sisters' pleas earlier, and sighed silently.

Wano Country, Onigashima.

"Damn Marines, they actually captured my beloved subordinate. No, I must go save him!"

Queen puffed out a smoke ring and said lightly: "Boss, let that kid Jack suffer a bit. Don't rush to save him. I strongly suspect this is a Marine conspiracy."

King, on the side, nodded: "Boss, think twice before acting!"

Kaido slammed the table to pieces with a bang, staring at the two: "I am Kaido of the Beasts! Even if the Marines have any conspiracies, can they kill me?"

"Boss!"

"King, don't say any more. Jack is my subordinate; I definitely can't sit by and watch him be taken away by the Marines."

Kaido waved his big hand, walked out of the hall with big strides, transformed into a blue dragon, and soared into the sky.

"Tch, that kid Jack is really useless. Even if I were captured, I wouldn't need the Boss to save me!"

King glanced at Queen lightly: "That kid Jack is still young, just wait for him to grow up. As for you, you eat Move Move Like a pig. I really find it hard to believe you could escape from the Marines!"

"Stupid King! I'm not fat, it's muscle, do you understand muscle?"

"Hehe~"

G-2 Branch.

Karl turned over comfortably in bed. He slept very soundly last night.

Bang bang bang!

"Karl, get ready for the meeting! Remember to come over!"

"Got it!"

Kizaru is good for this point; he doesn't care about sleeping in, drinking afternoon tea, etc. After all, the older brother shouldn't talk about the younger brother. If it were Akainu, he would probably kick the door directly!

Karl quickly climbed out of bed, washed up simply, put on his uniform, and arrived at the conference room slowly. Fortunately, he wasn't late.

After a while, Vice Admiral Tsuru walked into the conference room with a serious expression, holding a stack of materials in her hand.

"Received news from the Intelligence Department. The bad news is that Kaido has left Onigashima and is heading toward the G-2 base. The good news is that he is alone."

"According to my speculation, Kaido will arrive at the G-2 branch by tonight at the latest, so everyone, pull yourselves together and be ready to fight Kaido at any time."

Karl glanced around: Kizaru, Aokiji, Peach Rabbit, Chaton Gion, Momousagi, Fire Mountain, two Admirals, two Admiral candidates, two Vice Admirals.

As for Vice Admiral Tsuru, she should be in command and won't participate in the battle. This configuration can be said to be extremely respectful to Kaido. I just don't know how long he can hold on.

In this high-end game, Karl can only play support. If Karl were really to go head-to-head with Kaido, he would probably be beaten until his eyes rolled back.

After the meeting, Kizaru and Aokiji were called away by Vice Admiral Tsuru, so Karl had to slack off alone. Who can understand this loneliness?

Gion teased Karl with a full face of smiles: "Little brother Karl, Sister will have to rely on you today!"

"Sister Gion is joking. I can only provide a little insignificant help. In the end, it still depends on you guys!"

"Heehee~ that's not necessarily true! Kaido is not that easy to deal with."

Karl smiled noncommittally. Seeing the corner of his eye catch the Konpira at Gion's waist, his eyes lit up.

"This sword is Konpira, right!"

Gion immediately drew Konpira for Karl to admire and said with a smile: "I didn't expect little brother Karl to have such a good eye! Konpira is a famous sword of the 21 Great Grade Swords! It has been with Sister for more than 20 years!"

Karl wasn't surprised that Konpira was a Great Grade Sword; what surprised him was that Gion was so old.

40? 50? Karl didn't dare to think carefully. ===== CHAPTER 59 =====
