Chapter 496: Tough attitude

Sengoku's face changed, and he just wanted to stop Kuzan and tell him not to agree.

He saw Kuzan's eyes full of fighting spirit, and he answered without hesitation: "Then come on! I will absolutely not lose to you, Sakazuki!"

Seeing this, Sengoku could only sigh...

Swish~

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, so lively! What's wrong, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, is there anything you want to find me for?"

Before Sengoku could speak, Sakazuki spoke first: "Karl, you came just in time. I just challenged Kuzan. Whoever wins will be the next Marine Fleet Admiral. He has already agreed. You can just be a witness for us."

Kuzan also looked at Karl, although he didn't say anything, it seemed like he said everything.

Hearing this, Karl looked at Sakazuki deeply, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

"Is there such a good thing? That's great. Why don't I join too? Whoever wins will be the next Marine Fleet Admiral, how about that?"

Sakazuki's face turned black: "Karl, this..."

"Sigh, if you could become Marine Fleet Admiral by relying on strength, you two wouldn't be qualified to compete with me at all, so what's the point of you doing this?"

"If you feel that neither of you is convinced by the other, it's simple. Fleet Admiral Sengoku, why don't you just stop recommending Admiral Kuzan? You can just recommend me to the World Government directly. I guarantee they won't have anything to say."

Sengoku was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously: "In this situation... it seems that's the only way. I'll go right now..."

"Wait a minute!" *2

"What's wrong, is there anything?"

Sakazuki looked at Karl deeply and said with a dark face: "No need."

"So, you want to withdraw from the competition for Marine Fleet Admiral?"

Sakazuki took a deep breath and left angrily.

After seeing Sakazuki leave, Sengoku sighed: "Kuzan, you should also avoid it. I have something I want to talk to Karl about alone."

"Yes, Fleet Admiral Sengoku."

"What do you think?"

Karl scratched his head: "Is it about the duel?"

"Otherwise?"

"Tsk, besides those old guys in Mary Geoise, who else? Now they are already anxious. Hehe, I'm afraid they don't know when the Marines started to break away from their control!"

"It's impossible to break away completely, but the Marines must have the right to speak so that the Marines can become a true army of justice, not a lackey of the World Government."

"After all, the Celestial Dragons hold things that can make the whole world be buried with them..."

"What exactly is it? Ancient Weapons?"

Sengoku shook his head: "Don't ask about this. If one day you can become Marine Fleet Admiral, you will naturally know."

Karl shrugged and stopped asking. He looked at the sea in the distance and muttered: "The World Government still won't give up! In that case, it's time for me to put some pressure on them."

"After all, these old guys are used to pointing fingers. If you want to change them, you have to give them strong medicine."

"Sigh~ anyway, I have already retired. You can do whatever you want! Just be careful. I can't manage that much anymore."

Karl grinned: "Don't worry! Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I am famous for being steady!"

Sengoku:......

Mary Geoise.

Bang~

The door was kicked away by Karl, and Karl walked in arrogantly.

"Yo, are you all drinking?"

The bald old man immediately stood up holding Kitetsu and scolded: "What are you doing? Mary Geoise is not a place where you can run wild!"

"Do you still want to wear your Marine uniform! Apologize to us immediately!"

Karl smiled disdainfully: "Apologize? Are you worthy?"

"Alright, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. I'll say one thing: your recent actions have made me very unhappy. The era is progressing, and the situation is constantly changing. The current Marines should be simpler, right?"

"What do you mean?"

Karl smiled indifferently: "Literal meaning. The meaning of the Marines' existence is not to help you clean up those dirty things. What the Marines need to do is only deal with pirates and maintain peace on the sea."

"That's impossible. Wanting to break away from the World Government, how could it be so easy! Do you think you can convince us with just one mouth?"

Karl took out a Healing Shell from his bosom: "With this, can I convince you?"

The Five Elders didn't speak.

Karl shook his head slightly and stuck Raven into the ground: "How about this, does it work?"

The Five Elders still didn't speak.

Karl smiled, pulled up Raven from the ground, raised the Healing Shell in his hand, and said with a smile: "Then this plus this plus myself, do you think it works?"

The Five Elders still didn't speak. Karl suddenly felt a bit bored, put away the Healing Shell and Raven, and said indifferently.

"Anyway, this is the situation, and this is the matter. You should consider it carefully!"

"After Kuzan becomes Marine Fleet Admiral, he will come to talk to you personally. Besides, without the Marines, don't you still have the God's Knights, right?"

Karl was about to turn and leave...

"Wait a minute!"

Karl turned his head to look at the 5 old guys in surprise, but didn't rush to speak.

"What you said is not impossible to consider, but there are still many details that need to be discussed. Everything will be discussed after Kuzan takes office as Marine Fleet Admiral. What do you think?"

Karl grinned: "Just what I wanted."

After speaking, Karl turned and left, but the smile disappeared from Karl's face.

If the Five Elders were furious, he might be able to accept it a little, but their attitude made Karl feel a bit strange.

After all, these five old things always liked to do shady things behind their backs. Facing him, who was so tough, they could actually say such words that were similar to showing weakness. No matter how he thought about it, it wasn't normal.

Could it be that they are going to dispatch Imu?

Karl: "Imu... doesn't seem to be scary either."

At least in Karl's view, it should be like this. At most, the strength is a bit stronger, but it will never be excessively strong.
