Chapter 365

"You'll know when the time comes."

Karl sold a mystery and turned to leave.

Actually, to Karl, a living Luffy is more valuable.

First, the Straw Hat Pirates are not real pirates, they can only be counted as an adventure group, and their harm to society is small, so he doesn't need to target Luffy.

Second, at this stage, Luffy has no conflict of interest with him, and with Garp around, even if he catches Luffy, Garp will find a way to fish him out. After all, he doesn't even have a bounty, so he can just say Luffy just went astray.

Third, Luffy is a very good tool man. He can unintentionally help Karl complete many things that he cannot directly do himself, and he doesn't have to worry about him hanging up inexplicably. Don't ask, asking means he's doing sit-ups.

In short, Luffy is still very useful now. Targeting him does more harm than good. Karl never does this kind of thankless work.

Smoker turned his head to look at Zoro, Luffy, and Coby, and said with a smile: "You guys are lucky today."

Seeing that the two hateful marines really didn't care about him anymore, Luffy was suddenly anxious: "Don't go! Aren't you marines? How can you let pirates go! Damn it! Gomu Gomu..."

In other words, you guys aren't leaving today unless you kill me!

Seeing this, Zoro immediately hugged Luffy: "You can't beat them now. They are not on the same level as us..."

After finishing, Zoro turned his head to look at Coby. His face was gray, like a salted fish that had lost its dream, and his whole body was full of low pressure, but Zoro didn't know what to say.

After all, the fact that he was caught mixing with pirates on the spot....

At the same time, 153rd Branch Base Commander's office.

"Sorry, please bear with it for a moment!"

Nami winked playfully at the two tied-up marine soldiers, walked into the office with a tiptoe, and soon a sound of rummaging echoed in the office.

"Eh, why isn't it here either? Could it be that someone was wrong? That's not right!"

Nami looked around in confusion, and soon her eyes lit up. It turned out that a deep red safe was hidden behind the wooden barrel in front, almost perfectly integrated with the red wall skin.

"Yay!"

Nami excitedly pushed away the wooden barrel, held the handle with one hand, pinched the gear with the other, and was just about to use means to open the safe when Nami's face changed.

Because she didn't do anything, it actually opened directly!

There are only two possibilities for this. First, the safe happened to have been opened before she came, just forgotten to be closed.

Second, someone had already arrived here first.

Nami held the lowest expectation, pulled open the cabinet door, and after seeing a rolled-up piece of parchment in front of her, she let out a cheer: "Found it, the Grand Line chart! It really is here!"

Only, after Nami opened the navigation chart...

It was unexpectedly a funny pirate flag pattern. The most prominent feature was the skull's big red nose, and a few big words were deliberately written on it.

The Grand Line chart has been unceremoniously accepted by yours truly---Buggy

"Not a chart, this logo is... Captain Buggy?"

The man known as the Undying Buggy. Of course, this is just the East Blue's name for him. Karl prefers to call him... Clown Emperor.

An annoyed look appeared on Nami's face, but she quickly adjusted.

"On second thought, this means the Grand Line chart is just with Buggy. Now as long as I find a way to mix with Buggy, then I will definitely be able to find the Grand Line chart!"

This is one of Nami's goals for many years, because a certain man said he hoped to meet her on the sea in the future.

"Not good, someone is coming!" Nami flipped out of the window skillfully and left the office.

A minute later, Karl and Smoker walked into Morgan's office side by side.

"Woo woo woo!"

Swish~ A blade light flashed, and the marines tied up by Nami regained their freedom.

"Yo, you are... Vice Admiral White Raven, th, that Navy Hero mentioned in the newspaper!!!"

"Vice Admiral Karl, I, I chose to join the Navy after seeing your deeds. You, you are my fan! Ah no, I am your fan!"

Karl smiled slightly: "No need to be excited. By the way, why were you tied up?"

"It was a thief with orange hair, she ambushed us..."

Smoker touched his chin: "Orange hair, it wouldn't be that coincidental, right? Is it a girl?"

"Hmm, yes, short orange hair, looks... very beautiful."

Smoker sighed: "I was just talking about how that little girl was doing today, I didn't expect her to become a thief. This is really..."

"Why are you so long-winded now? Are there few children saved by the Navy? Some of those brats even become pirates when they grow up!"

Without the Arlong Pirates, without having to pay protection money with hard-earned money, Nami still went down the old path. What can Karl say?

Can only say that life is impermanent, intestines wrap around intestines.

"Alright, aren't you going to collect evidence? Hurry up and collect it, the Holy Light will be here soon."

Xie Erzi port.

The three of them had eaten and drunk their fill and were ready to leave. To be precise, it was Luffy and Zoro who were ready to leave.

Luffy was still smiling. His naturally big heart soon made him forget the unpleasantness on the execution ground, especially after hearing Zoro say how powerful that guy named Karl was.

This is easy to understand.

Karl = Navy Hero, Grandpa = Navy Hero. Grandpa can beat him up, and he has no resistance at all, so Karl, who is also a Navy Hero, must also be able to beat him up, and he has no resistance at all.

It was just a bit unexpected to learn that Karl was also Zoro's target, but he was also very happy. After all, the partner he found should be like this.

"Coby, what are you going to do in the future? Now that you can't be a marine, how about..."

Coby shook his head firmly: "No, Mr. Luffy. Even if I can't be a marine, I don't want to be a pirate. However, I will work hard to become a strong person, just like Mr. Luffy."

Luffy smiled and patted Coby's shoulder: "Hahahaha, that's good. I thought you wouldn't be able to think it through! Since that's the case, we're leaving!"

"Goodbye! Coby, goodbye!"

Coby took a deep breath and revealed a smile: "Goodbye, Mr. Luffy!"

One day, we will definitely meet somewhere, Mr. Luffy. Even if I really can't become a marine, I will work hard to become a brave person!

We will definitely meet again, Mr. Luffy!

Not long after Luffy and the others left, Morgan, covered in bandages and wearing shackles, was escorted onto the Holy Light. His final destination—Impel Down.

"Major Greil, since the position of 153rd Branch Base Commander is temporarily vacant, I appoint you as the acting branch commander of the 153rd Branch in the name of the Loguetown Base Commander, until a new base commander is appointed by Headquarters."

"Yes! Rear Admiral Smoker, I guarantee......"

The sun set in the west, and the Holy Light left the Xie Erzi port....
