Chapter 399: Departure, Searching for Pure Gold

The next day, Ain said goodbye to Karl reluctantly and boarded the warship.

Because if there are no accidents, the next time Karl helps her clear the water pipes will be a long time later...

Not long after Ain left, Karl was also ready to leave. Taking a warship or something is too slow, better take Raven!

Although he is faster after turning into Holy Light, Karl is too lazy to use it, and he has to use it less, because once discovered by some people, he cannot avoid the fate of becoming the second-generation Kizaru.

"Raven, let's go." "Caw caw!"

*Brrr brrr brrr~*

"Hello, I'm Karl, what can I do for you, Admiral Akainu?"

"Kuzan invited you to dinner yesterday, right?"

Akainu's tone was as serious as usual, and also very direct.

Karl, sitting on Raven's back, couldn't help scratching his head. The news is really well-informed. He only had dinner with Kuzan last night, and Akainu knew it today. Is the competition between these two too... that?

"That's right, Admiral Aokiji said it's been a long time, and he wanted to chat with me."

Sakazuki on the other side of the Den Den Mushi was silent for a long time, then said: "I know. I will return to Marineford in a week, do you have time at night?"

Karl patted his head lightly. He knew it!

But he couldn't refuse. After all, whether it's Kuzan or Sakazuki, their friendship with Karl is not deep. Aokiji invited him to dinner and he agreed, but he didn't agree when Akainu invited him. Isn't this clearly not giving Sakazuki face?

In order to avoid being stared at by Sakazuki every time he meets him in the future, Karl decided to give him some face. It's nothing more than those things about the next Fleet Admiral candidate. It's good to make it clear to Sakazuki.

"I have time, you don't want to treat me to dinner too, hahahaha."

"That's right, same time, same place, I'll wait for you."

"Good."

After the call hung up, Karl shook his head helplessly. These people, is our relationship very good? What's going on with them coming to find him?

Kizaru is still worry-free! Never causes him trouble.

"Ding, arrived at the destination, item 【Pure Gold】 is located 32 kilometers under the sea."

Hmm?

"32 kilometers under sea level, is this guy sleeping on the seabed?"

Karl scratched his head helplessly. Although he is the Father of the Sea, this doesn't mean he likes swimming!

However, this giant lantern fish only moves at night, otherwise, it wouldn't have been attracted by the light of Pure Gold hundreds of years ago, and then directly ruined the whole island.

No way, in this situation, Karl can only wait. It just so happens that there is an uninhabited island ahead, go over and get something to eat.

Nameless small island.

"Come, come, drink!" "Don't bother me, I want to eat meat!"

Lucky Roux pushed away the wine glass impatiently and stuffed the chicken leg into his mouth.

The pirate who instigated Lucky Roux to drink shrugged his shoulders, then drink it himself.

On the other side.

"The scenery on this island is really not bad, right Shanks?"

Shanks' mouth curled up slightly, and he poured a large gulp of wine: "Hahaha, yes! But I don't know why, I always feel a bit abnormal."

Beckman laughed: "Where is it abnormal..."

As soon as the words fell, Beckman's face changed, and Shanks' face also changed.

Looking up, a huge white bird swept across the sky, setting off a wave of wind.

A ball of golden light flashed, and Karl, wearing a black suit and a Justice cloak, appeared in front of Shanks, looking at him with a smile.

"Yo, drinking?"

Shanks subconsciously gripped Gryphon and pointed it at Karl's heart: "What are you doing here?"

The surrounding Red Hair crew cadres like Beckman and Lucky Roux also surrounded him, looking at Karl cautiously.

As for the pirates who just joined the Red Hair crew, they were even more scared to breathe. After all, they had heard the old birds talk about how fierce this Marine Hero was.

Let's put it this way, the reason why Shanks' bounty has never been able to go up is because Karl can force them into a desperate situation every time, making it very difficult for the Red Hair Pirates to recruit new people.

Because you never know when Karl will come to find Shanks' trouble, and then these small fry will die from unknown AOE.

"Whoa whoa whoa~ don't be excited, Shanks." Karl hurriedly raised his hands to surrender. If an outsider saw this, they would definitely say that Shanks just raised his sword, and Karl lost.

"I'm not here to fight you. Besides, I'm not interested in fighting you now. You, not quite good."

Facing Karl's mockery, Shanks didn't care at all. Let alone Karl, even if some mountain bandit king used a wine bottle to dry him, he wouldn't care, not to mention that what Karl said was the truth.

"You defeated Mihawk a few days ago, is he dead?"

A few days ago, he was very shocked to see the news in the newspaper that Mihawk was defeated by Karl, but he didn't mean to blame Karl.

Because this is a duel between swordsmen, not some house play.

The winner lives, the loser dies, this is an eternal law.

If Mihawk is not dead, Shanks is happy for him. If he is dead, then he, a friend, will go to collect his body for him.

It's that simple.

"Mihawk? Dead? How is that possible? He is a Warlord of the Sea, an ally of the World Government! As an ally, how can I kill him?"

Shanks breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that he's still alive.

"However..."

Shanks' heart lifted again.

"Mihawk suffered a very serious injury. You know, I usually don't have a sense of proportion when I take action. Without half a year, Mihawk won't be able to recover."

Shanks breathed a long sigh of relief. It's good that he's alive, it's good that he's alive.

"By the way, after being injured by me, he disappeared. If you want to find him, I don't know where he is either."

Shanks slowly put down Gryphon and said faintly: "If you want to fight, I'll accompany you at any time. If you are not here to fight, please leave, you are not welcome here."

"Why, did you write your name on this island? You let me go and I go? If I go, you guys go, look at how capable you are."

Karl waved his hand indifferently, sat on the ground by himself, snatched the chicken leg that hadn't been eaten from Lucky Roux's hand, and stuffed it into his mouth to tear it. ===== CHAPTER 401 =====
