Chapter 57: Chatting
Bathroom.
Karl threw the newspaper aside casually and muttered impatiently: "System, use all attribute enhancement cards, enhance perception, and use all Haki enhancement cards too!"
After the enhancement was completed, Karl suddenly felt his brain much clearer, and his perception of the outside world was more sensitive, but his perception still hadn't upgraded.
The only surprise was that both Armament Haki and Observation Haki had improved by one level, both becoming LV2.
To verify the effect of LV2, Karl stretched out his right hand and used Armament Haki hardening.
His arm instantly became as black as ink, and it could reflect light under the illumination of the lights. Then Karl placed his hand on the sink, and the white porcelain sink was instantly covered with a layer of black.
"Hehe, not bad, the strength has improved a lot, but it's a pity it can't be wrapped yet, it still needs to be upgraded."
As for the change in Observation Haki, it wasn't obvious. It was estimated that the difference could only be seen in a combat state.
"Not bad, not bad."
After a while, Karl walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed, sat opposite Kizaru, crossed his legs, and lit a cigar.
"Phew~ Admiral Kizaru..." "Bang bang bang!"
Kizaru glanced at Karl, and Karl had to get up to open the door.
"Ain? Why are you here? Oh right, right, right, I almost forgot, you went to Staff Officer Tsuru's place after your internship ended, come, come, come, sit."
Ain saw Kizaru reading the newspaper in the room and quickly waved her hand: "No, no need, Karl, come out for a moment."
"Uh, alright!"
Karl had to follow Ain out and close the door by the way.
"What's wrong?"
Ain's expression became serious, looking straight into Karl's eyes and saying: "Karl, do you know what you've done?"
"???"
Karl was full of question marks. He just arrived today! What could he have done?
"Pfft! How would I know! If you have something to say, just say it, I don't like guessing riddles!"
Ain put her hands on her hips and sighed helplessly: "Just now, several big sisters came to me to ask about you, wanting to ask if you could help them remove their scars. Oh my, it's just letting you use holy light to treat them!"
"Oh, hmm? Remove scars? Wait, I understand!"
Karl remembered that after he used his ability on Gion not long ago, her tattoo was gone. Later, it should have been spread out. After all, Staff Officer Tsuru's side was full of female soldiers.
Women, after all! Loving beauty is normal, especially female Navy soldiers like them, who often fight with pirates and inevitably leave scars of all sizes. Seeing that Gion's tattoo could be removed, they naturally set their sights on him.
"Ahem, Ain, you go back and tell them that there will be opportunities in the future, but not now."
"Kaido of the Beasts is coming soon. As a righteous Navy member, I cannot waste my stamina on such trivial matters."
Ain looked at Karl, who was righteous and still holding a cigar in his right hand. It wasn't that she didn't believe Karl, but Karl had too many previous records, making people unable to believe him.
"Uh, I think so too, this time I will help you refuse, but next time..."
Karl patted his chest with a thumping sound: "Don't worry!"
Who knows when the next meeting will be, unless Staff Officer Tsuru can snatch him from Kizaru, but Karl probably wouldn't agree either.
Just kidding, twenty-seven or twenty-eight old ladies, wouldn't they swallow him, this little fresh meat, alive!
Ain left suspiciously, thinking of the pleas of the big sisters before, and sighed silently.
Wano Country, Onigashima.
"Damn Navy, they actually captured my beloved subordinate. No, I must go save him!"
Queen exhaled a smoke ring and said lightly: "Boss, let that kid Jack suffer a little, don't rush to save him. I seriously suspect this is a Navy conspiracy."
King on the side nodded: "Boss, think twice before acting!"
Kaido slammed the table to pieces with a bang, staring at the two with wide eyes: "I am Kaido of the Beasts! Even if the Navy has any conspiracies, could they possibly kill me?"
"Boss!"
"King, don't say any more, Jack is my subordinate, I definitely can't sit idly by and watch him be taken away by the Navy."
Kaido waved his big hand, strode out of the main hall, transformed into an Azure Dragon, and soared into the sky.
"Tch, that kid Jack is really useless. Even if I were captured, I wouldn't need the boss to save me!"
King glanced at Queen lightly: "That kid Jack is still young, it'll be fine when he grows up. As for you, you eat like a pig, I really find it hard to believe you could escape from the Navy!"
"Stupid King! I'm not fat, it's muscle, do you understand muscle?"
"Hehe~"
G-2 branch.
Karl turned over comfortably in bed. He slept very soundly last night.
Bang bang bang!
"Karl, get ready for the meeting! Remember to come over!"
"Got it!"
Kizaru is good at this point, he doesn't care about sleeping in, drinking afternoon tea, etc. After all, the older brother doesn't talk about the younger brother. If it were Akainu, he would probably kick the door directly!
Karl quickly climbed out of bed, washed up simply, put on his uniform, and came to the conference room slowly. Fortunately, he wasn't late.
After a while, Staff Officer Tsuru walked into the conference room with a serious face, holding a pile of information in her hand.
"Received news from the Intelligence Department. The bad news is that Kaido has left Onigashima and is rushing toward the G-2 base. The good news is that he is alone."
"According to my speculation, Kaido will arrive at the G-2 branch by tonight at the latest, so everyone cheer up and be ready to fight Kaido at any time."
Karl glanced around: Kizaru, Aokiji, Peach Rabbit, Chaton, Momonga, Fire Mountain. Two Admirals, two Admiral candidates, two Vice Admirals.
As for Staff Officer Tsuru, she should be in command and won't participate in the battle. This configuration can be said to be extremely respectful to Kaido. I just don't know how long he can hold on.
In this kind of high-end game, Karl can only play support. If Karl were really to clash head-on with Kaido, he would probably be beaten until his eyes rolled back.
After the meeting, Kizaru and Aokiji were called away by Staff Officer Tsuru alone, so Karl had to slack off alone. Who can understand this loneliness?
Gion teased Karl with a full face of smiles: "Little brother Karl, big sister has to rely on you today!"
"Big sister Gion is joking, I can only provide a little insignificant help, in the end, it still depends on you guys!"
"Heehee~ that's not necessarily true! That guy Kaido isn't so easy to deal with."
Karl smiled noncommittally, and the corner of his eye caught Gion's Konpira at her waist, and his eyes lit up.
"This sword is Konpira, right!"
Gion immediately drew Konpira for Karl to admire and said with a smile: "I didn't expect little brother Karl to have such a good eye! Konpira is a Great Grade 21 sword! It has been with big sister for more than twenty years!"
Karl wasn't surprised that Konpira was a Great Grade sword. What surprised him was that Gion was so old.
40? 50? Karl didn't dare to think about it. ===== CHAPTER 59 =====
