Chapter 442: Go Together?

Marineford.

Karl, who had left the headquarters building, met an unexpected person.

"Just now I heard Fleet Admiral Sengoku say that you personally launched this Buster Call, but you are at Navy Headquarters. What's going on?"

Kuzan smiled: "I found it too troublesome, so I just left the Golden Den Den Mushi for that guy Spandam to keep. I just didn't expect that guy to actually launch the Buster Call. But that's fine too..."

He heard Luo Bin had joined a new group. This time, would she choose to run away again? Would she continue to live that kind of wandering life?

"You're doing this for Nico Luo Bin, aren't you?"

Hearing this, Kuzan's expression instantly changed: "How did you... don't talk nonsense!"

"Alright, alright, don't play dumb in front of me. You were there for the Ohara incident 20 years ago, right? If you hadn't been soft-hearted, there shouldn't have been any survivors of the Ohara incident."

"How do you know? You should have been just a child back then!"

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku told me. After Crocodile was defeated by the Straw Hat crew, the World Government told me to find Luo Bin and then erase her."

Aokiji was silent for a long time, thinking that this kind of thing should have been done by him; it had always been like that before. *Phew*—the World Government is really, interesting!

But with Karl's ability, Luo Bin should have been dead long ago. But why...

"Then..."

Karl smiled slightly: "Are you asking why Luo Bin is still alive?"

Kuzan nodded: "Correct. You wouldn't sympathize with her plight too, would you?"

"Hahahaha, of course not. I met her, and when I was ready to kill her, I gave up, because..."

Then Karl told Kuzan about meeting the fleeing Luo Bin when he was a child. As Karl narrated, Kuzan's gaze toward Karl softened quite a bit, and he suddenly felt that the two of them had a common language.

Why did he let Luo Bin go during the Ohara incident? Because the giant Saul, who fought for Ohara, was his friend. He followed Saul's will and let Luo Bin go, and from then on, he had the obligation to keep an eye on Luo Bin.

It was just unexpected that during the time he happened to be away, Karl and Luo Bin met, and Karl even joined the Navy and climbed to such a height.

I have to say, the world is truly wonderful!

"So, in fact, I indirectly saved your life?"

Karl:???

"20 years ago, if I hadn't let Luo Bin go, you wouldn't have had the chance to meet her, she wouldn't have been able to save you, you wouldn't have been able to join the Navy, and you wouldn't have grown into a Navy Hero of the new era."

"Thinking about it this way, my contribution is quite large!"

Karl looked at Kuzan speechlessly and said: "You really know how to take credit for yourself. Alright, let's not talk about this. What is your opinion on launching this Buster Call?"

Kuzan sighed and said: "So much time has passed since the Ohara incident, but Luo Bin has never been able to settle down. I've been thinking, where is her true home?"

"With her ability, jumping away from CP9 would be no problem at all, but she chose to be captured..."

Karl supported his chin and shook his head: "Perhaps she is already prepared to settle down. You've already seen the Straw Hat pirate crew, haven't you?"

"Hahaha, that's right! They are indeed different from other pirate crews. Those people, they care a lot about their companions!"

"Here, the warships participating in the Buster Call have already left. Are you going?"

Kuzan looked toward Crescent Moon Bay and shook his head.

"No, I'd better not go. I'll just wait for the result at Navy Headquarters. If Luo Bin dies, I'll go collect her body. If she's still alive..."

Before Kuzan could finish speaking, Garp walked toward Kuzan aggressively: "Good for you, Kuzan. Don't you know my grandson is on Enies Lobby? You actually still want to launch a Buster Call! Give me an explanation!"

"Vice Admiral Garp, Kuzan is right here. What else is there to explain?"

Garp was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and seemed to think of the key point. He felt a bit embarrassed, but soon his face was full of worry.

"Karl, my grandson is still on Enies Lobby! This is a Buster Call! If he dies... I'll be a poor, lonely old man!"

"Don't tell me you want to go save him?"

Garp sighed and shook his head: "That bastard Sengoku won't let me go."

Hearing this, Karl smiled: "Just now, Fleet Admiral Sengoku asked me to command this Buster Call."

Garp's face brightened: "You agreed?"

"No, I refused. I'm too lazy to get involved in such boring things. Whether the Straw Hat kid lives or dies is up to fate!"

Garp let out a long sigh and left, full of worry.

"Vice Admiral Garp is still the same as ever!" Aokiji couldn't help but feel it was a bit funny.

Karl shook his head and looked at Kuzan: "Then what about you? What are you prepared to do?"

Kuzan revealed a meaningful expression on his face: "No, it's what we should do."

Three hours later.

The Buster Call ended, and the Straw Hat crew miraculously survived. Karl didn't think much of it, but Kuzan was very surprised.

To tell the truth, at first, he was indeed planning to collect the bodies for the Straw Hat crew. After all, he was someone who had participated in a Buster Call. Back in Ohara, if he hadn't let Luo Bin go, the survivors of the Ohara incident should have been zero.

"Phew~ They really escaped. I heard the World Government is very angry now!"

Karl said indifferently: "What does it have to do with me? I wasn't the one commanding this Buster Call."

After saying that, Karl pointed to Water 7 on the map and said: "After they escaped from Enies Lobby, their only destination is Water 7. Do you want to go take a look?"

"Hmm, let's go take a look! It just so happens there are some things I must tell Nico Luo Bin. After all, she isn't alone anymore!"

Karl nodded: "Correct. Eh, why not call Vice Admiral Garp? After all, Straw Hat Luffy is his grandson. With such a big thing happening, he has to go take a look, right?"

Kuzan smiled bitterly: "No need to think about it now. Vice Admiral Garp must have been transferred away. It'll be about two days."

"Then let's go in two days!"

Two days later, the dog-head warship.

"Hahahaha, how about it? My grandson is pretty good, right! Even a Buster Call couldn't do anything to him. Hahaha, truly worthy of being my grandson!"

Karl and Aokiji looked at each other. There were so many Navy soldiers here; it wasn't very good to show off so blatantly that his pirate grandson had escaped from a Buster Call!

Garp soon realized this problem too: "Uh, did I say the wrong thing again? Then let's pretend I didn't say that just now."
