Chapter 46: Raven

Others only thought Queen Otohime was killed by human pirates, but Karl knew it was Hody Jones who did it.

In other words, this mission actually had no difficulty for Karl. No, no, forget it, the risk was too high, not worth it.

Although Fish-Man Island and Princess Shirahoshi were quite attractive to Karl, the risk far outweighed the benefits. Karl didn't want to muddy the waters.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, what you said makes sense. Hmm, leave these pirate crews to me!"

Karl casually took a few of the pirate crew files, bid farewell to Sengoku, and prepared to set off.

Crescent Moon Bay.

Karl looked at the three Marine warships in front of him and felt a bit emotional, feeling Move Move Like everything had returned to the time at the 108th Branch.

"Report, Colonel Karl, everything is ready, we can set off at any time!"

"Very good, what is your name?"

The burly man in front puffed out his chest and shouted with full energy: "Report, sir! I am Nelson, rank Sergeant, serving as your adjutant."

"Very good, let's set off!"

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave! Young Karl, you forgot to take something!"

Karl turned his head and saw Huang Yuan standing behind him with a lecherous expression, holding a rectangular box in his hand.

Adjutant Nelson saluted immediately upon seeing Huang Yuan and said excitedly: "Admiral Huang Yuan!"

"This is...?" Karl seemed to have guessed something and looked at Huang Yuan with a pleasant surprise.

"That's right! It's just what you think!"

Karl hurriedly took the box from Huang Yuan's hand, opened it to take a look, confirmed it was a sword, and immediately closed it.

"Sorry to trouble you, Admiral Huang Yuan."

Huang Yuan pouted and waved his hand: "Just a small favor. You're going to execute missions independently today, right? So fast!"

"Since that's the case, I won't bother you anymore. Remember to call me if you have anything."

After saying this, Huang Yuan dissipated as photons.

Karl sighed in his heart: Thank you, Monkey, let's slack off together when you have time...

After boarding the warship, Nelson asked: "Colonel Karl, where are we going?"

Karl said without thinking: "Go to Water 7, a pirate crew is about to land there."

"Yes! Sir!"

After returning to his room, Karl rubbed his hands and slowly opened the box. Inside was a pitch-black sword, basically similar to the First Generation Kitetsu, but the hilt had undergone a huge change.

The tsuba changed from the original circular handguard to a shape resembling raven wings. The hilt had feather patterns, and there was a red eye at the top.

Just as Karl picked up the sword, it immediately changed. The whole sword squirmed and finally turned into a black raven, staring straight at Karl with blood-red eyes.

Its gaze was very vigilant, constantly flapping its wings, as if warning Karl not to get close.

"Hmph, quite fierce, huh!"

Karl's gaze tightened. He gripped the raven's body and said in a deep voice: "Submission or death?"

"Ah! Caw!"

The raven flapped its wings frantically, letting out a creepy cry, but its movements became weaker and weaker, and finally, it gave up struggling and bowed its head in submission.

"From now on, your name is Raven. Turn into a sword!"

The raven nodded, turned back into a sword, and automatically landed in Karl's palm.

"Not bad!"

Karl nodded silently. This sword, whether in appearance or quality, met his requirements very well.

Karasu?

Don't contact me in the future, I'm afraid Raven will misunderstand.

Three minutes later, Karl walked out of the cabin, looked at the Marine soldiers working in an orderly manner under Nelson's command, and nodded with satisfaction.

Now he just needed to be a hands-off manager, slacking off when there was nothing to do and doing things when there was something to do.

"Huh! Colonel Karl, this bird on your shoulder is..."

Karl smiled slightly and couldn't help but show off: "This? This is my weapon, named Raven."

As soon as he finished speaking, Raven transformed from bird form to weapon form. A handsome black long sword appeared in Karl's hand, drawing gasps of admiration from the surrounding Marine soldiers.

"This, how?"

"Hahahaha, have you heard of ability transfer technology? This Raven is an ability weapon."

Although Nelson didn't understand, he was greatly shocked, but he still remembered the main business and hurriedly asked: "By the way, Colonel Karl, who is our target this time?"

"Here, this one!" Karl took out a bounty poster.

"Blaze Pirates, Roch Thompson! Bounty 87 million Berries!"

Karl nodded: "That's right, our goal is to wait for them at Water 7 and then send them to Impel Down. Do you have confidence?"

Nelson and the soldiers thought, did this even need to be asked? Who didn't know that Colonel Karl could easily handle pirates with bounties of nearly 300 million? Roch Thompson? A piece of cake.

"Yes!!!"

"Very good, then let's speed up and try to take them down in one fell swoop!"

"Oh oh oh oh!!!"

After three days of sailing, Karl's warship finally arrived at Water 7. Looking at the familiar buildings, Karl couldn't help but reveal a smile. Finally, he had come to an island he recognized.

To avoid being discovered by the pirates, Karl deliberately sailed the warship into Water 7 and arranged for a few Marine soldiers to watch the Scrap Island, and then he could start his vacation mode.

Walking on the streets of Water 7, Karl found that his head-turning rate seemed a bit high.

How could a dashing, handsome young Marine officer not attract attention? Karl was already used to this.

"Boss, how much does it cost to rent a Yagara Bull?"

The owner of the Yagara Bull rental shop hurriedly piled up a smile: "It's a Marine officer! 1000—no, 500 Berries, 500 Berries is fine!"

"That's great, I'll just take that blue Yagara Bull!"

Sitting on the Yagara Bull that looked Move Move Like a sea donkey, Karl couldn't help but light a cigarette. If only there were a woman by his side.

"Yagara, please take me around!"

The Yagara Bull let out a cry, seemingly already used to it, and moved slowly along the waterway.

During this time, Karl wasn't idle either, taking this opportunity to use the daily rewards he had accumulated over the past four days.

After 20 enhancement cards, Perception was still D+, with no change, but the 12 random rewards gave him a surprise.

"Congratulations on obtaining Sword Skill Cards * 3, Observation Haki Enhancement Card * 1, Lifespan 20 days * 6, a case of Fat-Boy Happy Water, 5 million Berries."

What could Karl say! Sending a pillow when he was sleepy—it really was a mature system that knew the host's needs Move Move Like the back of its hand.

After using them all, although Karl's Observation Haki was still LV2, he had an extra Sword Skill LV2 (Max LV5).

Although it was only LV2, he seemed Move Move Like a master swordsman who had practiced for a long time, not only comprehending the breath of all things but also being able to release flying slashes at will.

Being able to use Armament Haki hardening and flying slashes, calling himself a master swordsman was no problem, right? ===== CHAPTER 78 =====
