Chapter 356

The next afternoon, Loguetown port.

Originally, Karl had planned to come in a few days, but considering Ain didn't have much vacation time, he simply set off that same evening.

Karl hugged Ain and walked off the Holy Light, looking at the scenery here with great interest. He vaguely remembered that the last time he came here, he was taking Ain and Smoker to investigate corrupt marines!

Tashigi, standing behind the two, said with some emotion: "Is this the place where the Pirate King Roger was executed? It's so big!"

Karl turned his head to look at Tashigi with interest, and couldn't help but feel a bit strange in his heart.

According to the original plot, Tashigi was Smoker's little follower, but now she had become Ain's adjutant. Although she was still just a small Major, she had already improved quite a bit compared to before.

And Karl had also incidentally cured her nearsightedness. If that kid Zoro saw Tashigi...

"Vice Admiral Karl, why, why are you looking at me?"

Hearing this, Ain immediately turned her head to look at Karl, her eyes like knives.

"I was just curious since it's your first time here."

Ain's smile gradually appeared, and she looked at the Navy base not far away and said: "Why hasn't Smoker come yet? Why don't we go over first!"

Karl's eyes widened: "What? We are guests. If Smoker dares not to come and welcome me today, I'll just stand here and not move."

"Boring! Tashigi, let's go. Let him wait here alone!"

As soon as the words fell, a cloud of smoke drifted from the sky, landed in front of Karl, and then formed a human shape. The smoke dissipated, and Smoker was standing on the ground, smiling at Karl.

"Long time no see!" Smoker opened his arms, hugged Karl, and patted Karl's back hard.

"Enough, enough, let me go quickly. You weren't like this before!"

Smoker gave an awkward smile, pulled a cigar from his pocket, and handed it to Karl: "Here, have a cigar, a Loguetown specialty."

"Hahaha, you guy, you don't have anything else besides cigars, do you?"

Ain, who was on the side, said with a smile: "You guys chat slowly, Tashigi and I are going shopping."

"Eh, alright!"

After the two women left, Karl turned back to Nelson and said: "Nelson, after you park the ship, take the men to the Loguetown base. We are going to rest here for a few days."

"Yes! Sir!" Then Nelson smiled and waved at Smoker: "Rear Admiral Smoker, long time no see!"

Smoker waved his hand: "Hahaha, that's right! Nelson, you've gotten quite fat!"

Nelson:......

Smoker laughed and turned to look at Karl: "Shall I take you for a stroll?"

"Sure."
