Chapter 512

Navy Headquarters.

"This guy, really..." Kuzan hung up the phone helplessly and didn't say much. Anyway, it was good to know Luo Bin was still alive.

As for Karl, let him do whatever he wants; he couldn't control him anyway.

Sabaody Archipelago, with the arrival of the real Straw Hat crew and bounty hunters, the island was already in chaos. Besides capturing the Straw Hat crew, the Navy's more important task was to maintain order.

Sunny.

Nami and Usopp had arrived on the ship and were catching up with Luo Bin and Franky. Karl was directly ignored because no one dared to disturb him, except Luo Bin.

"Yohohoho~ Usopp-san! Nami-san! Franky-san! Luo Bin-san!"

"Temptation!"

Usopp: "Brook! (ΩДΩ)"

Franky: "You actually gave up your identity as a big star, I am impressed."

Brook let out his signature laugh: "It is truly nostalgic, partners. Ah, Luo Bin-san and Nami-san are also becoming more and more beautiful. So, Nami-san, after two years of separation..."

Brook sat down and stroked the strings: "Can you let me admire your panties again?"

Swish~ Nami gave him a whip kick: "Who would let you see!"

"And I didn't let you see two years ago either!"

Brook fell to the ground and trembled slightly: "Uh, Nami-san is really as powerful as ever. Eh, who is that over there..."

Luo Bin smiled and said: "Don't worry about him, after we set sail, he will tell us."

Brook was a bit confused, but didn't ask more because he vaguely felt that this man in sunglasses whose face couldn't be seen clearly had a somewhat familiar aura, and in short, he was not to be trifled with.

"Really, not one of them has made any progress." Nami complained helplessly.

Brook stood up slowly and said suspiciously: "Speaking of which, it seems everyone hasn't gathered yet?"

"Chopper has already gone to pick up the others, they should be here soon..."

Before Luo Bin could finish speaking, a shout came from not far away.

"Hey, hey!!!"

"Everyone!"

Chopper, lying on Zoro's shoulder, shouted loudly: "I brought them!"

"Luffy! Zoro! Sanji!"

"Luffy-san, I missed you all so much!"

"Great, everyone is finally gathered together!"

While everyone was immersed in the joy of reunion, Sanji looked at the "Grand Canyon" of Nami and Luo Bin and fell into deep silence. No one noticed that Karl had already walked into the cabin and was drinking rum from the refrigerator on his own.

Two years, do you know how he spent these two years?

Won't say more, let's spray some nosebleed to celebrate for everyone!

"Ah! Sanji!!!"

Sanji took off on the spot.

"Usopp, is Sanji okay?"

"One, one beauty, two beauties..."

Usopp shook his head and looked at Sanji with concern: "Hey! Sanji, cheer up!"

"Not good, Chopper, hurry and think of a way to help him stop the bleeding!"

On the other side, Luffy was admiring Franky's body with stars in his eyes, almost wanting to play with it.

But accompanied by the shrill whistle of cannonballs, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Bang~ Cannonballs fell around the Sunny, splashing water everywhere.

"Not good! Three warships are rushing toward us. Should we counterattack?"

Zoro leaped up, split the cannonballs into pieces, and said calmly: "No need, we just need to sink as soon as possible, and the Navy won't be able to do anything to us."

"Right, I will go prepare now!" After saying this, Franky dived into the sea to inflate the bubble coating.

Soon, the bubble coating tightly attached to the hull bulged, forming a bubble roof.

"Listen up, everyone, the coated ship has the ability to reduce various pressures, so as long as you remove the buoyancy bags supporting the bottom of the pirate ship, the coated Sunny will sink into the seabed due to lack of buoyancy. This is how it works." Nami explained painstakingly.

All she got in return was: "Oh, understood."

Nami: -_-||

"I know you don't understand, anyway, everyone hurry and hoist the sails!"

"Sails?"

Luo Bin smiled and said: "The coated ship uses ocean currents instead of wind to propel the ship."

Luffy jumped onto the base of the mast, hugged his arms, and shouted loudly: "Brothers! There is too much to say, can't finish it all. In short, thank you all for forgiving my willfulness and supporting me through these two years."

"Tsk, your willfulness hasn't been just for a day or two, we are long used to it."

"That's right! Aren't you always like this?"

"Iheeheehee~ Hoist the sails! Set sail!!!!"

The Sunny began to sink rapidly and soon submerged below the sea surface.

"Set off for Fish-Man Island!!!"

Clap, clap, clap, clap~

The sudden applause attracted everyone's attention. Luffy turned his head and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Karl, why are you here?"

Karl drank the rum in his hand and said with a smile: "I thought you would be very depressed after Ace died, but I didn't expect you to still be so energetic. If Vice Admiral Garp knew, he would definitely be very comforted."

"Ace..."

Luffy took a deep breath. Yes, he was indeed depressed for a while, but Rayleigh made him understand that all this was because he was too weak—too weak to even get close to Ace.

"Why are you on my ship?"

Karl shrugged: "I want to go to Fish-Man Island to see a little guy, so I am hitching a ride on your ship. In exchange, I will give the sea chart to Fish-Man Island to Nami, ensuring you can arrive at Fish-Man Island safely. How about that?"

Hearing this, Nami's eyes lit up: "Really? Why didn't you tell me just now?"

Karl laughed dumbly, took the sea chart out of his pocket, and threw it to Nami: "Here, this is the recently updated sea chart, the route is definitely no problem."

"Fine, this exchange is very fair."

"Hahaha, that's good. By the way, before arriving at Fish-Man Island, I am planning to rest over there. If you have anything you want to ask, ask quickly!"

Before Luffy could speak, Nami asked impatiently: "Me, me, me, I have a question."

"Fine, ask away!"

Nami rested her chin on her hand and asked curiously: "Since coming to Sabaody, I have felt a bit strange. It seems the number of pirates has decreased, and people are not so afraid of pirates anymore. Why is that?"

"Right, right, right, I have this feeling too, and there are more bounty hunters!"

Karl smiled and said: "It seems you haven't read the newspaper much in the past two years!"

Brook: I have read it, but didn't pay much attention...

"All of this stems from the Navy's new policy! I would call it the commodification of pirates!"
