Chapter 57

Sengoku didn't speak, but put a piece of information on the desk.

"Other Warlords of the Sea have already been invited by Vice Admirals. Now only Boa Hancock is left uninvited. Do you have confidence?"

Karl raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt a bit of trouble. If it was the Empress, the difficulty of completing the [Don't Hit Your Own People] mission would be very high!

If it were Old Sand or Doflamingo, he would have 100% confidence in completing the mission, because these two really needed the status of Warlord of the Sea.

But if it were the Empress, although she also needed it, this woman's personality was a bit strange, always acting on her beauty; otherwise, this mission wouldn't have fallen to him.

"Um, Marshal Sengoku, can I change one?"

"What do you think?"

It seems it can't be changed. Karl sighed and took the Empress's information.

"Alright! I'll take this mission, but I remember that Amazon Lily is in the Calm Belt! My warship can't get through!"

Sengoku waved his hand: "This is a small problem. You are already a general-level officer. Headquarters will equip you with a Seastone warship, which will arrive the day after tomorrow."

"Take a rest for these two days and set off on time the day after tomorrow!"

"Okay."

Just as Karl was about to leave, Staff Officer Tsuru called Karl: "Wait a minute!"

"Staff Officer Tsuru? Is there anything?"

Staff Officer Tsuru looked at Karl with a smile and said: "There is indeed something. You should remember the girl Ain, right?"

"That's for sure! Wait, Staff Officer Tsuru, she wouldn't have had an accident, would she?"

Seeing Karl's worried expression, Staff Officer Tsuru was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Don't talk nonsense, Ain is fine! It's just that she wants to be your adjutant."

"Oh, that's good! Wait, what did you say? Ain wants to follow me?"

Staff Officer Tsuru joked with a smile: "That's right! Sigh~ I've spent so much time cultivating her, a grown woman doesn't want to stay at home~"

Now Karl couldn't sit still. He hadn't seen her for such a long time, and suddenly she wanted to be his adjutant. This Ain wouldn't be craving his body, would she?

"Then, this, did Ain really say that?"

"Could that be fake?"

Sengoku also said with a smile at this time: "Don't say it's Ain, many female navy soldiers are dying to get on your ship! It's really enviable~"

"Tsk tsk tsk~ The most handsome man in the world, I was also a handsome man when I was young! Why didn't anyone give me this nickname?"

The most handsome man in the world, has it spread so outrageously now? No wonder those female navy soldiers looked at him with glowing eyes all the way just now!

Karl scratched his head in embarrassment: "Since Staff Officer Tsuru has spoken, I'll go talk to Ain later."

Staff Officer Tsuru nodded: "That's best. Anyway, I've already let her go. Just let her report to you then!"

After leaving Navy Headquarters, Karl came to the training ground. Although there were no new recruits, Zephyr would guide the navy's practice here every day.

"Teacher Zephyr! Long time no see!"

"Hahahaha, you kid finally decided to come see me! Tsk tsk tsk~ Really good! You're already a Rear Admiral!"

Zephyr patted Karl on the shoulder, his face full of joy. Karl's physique hadn't fallen behind; it seemed he was really practicing well.

"Isn't this because I'm catching pirates every day! Otherwise, I couldn't have been promoted from Colonel to Rear Admiral directly!"

Zephyr waved his hand disdainfully: "Your current strength is more than enough to be a Vice Admiral. Compared with Akainu and Aokiji, you are considered slow!"

"How can I compare with those monsters!"

Hearing Karl's words, Zephyr smiled without saying a word. In fact, in his opinion, Karl could also be called a monster.

After the master and apprentice chatted for a while, Zephyr suddenly pointed to a blue-haired girl on the side of the training ground: "Hey look, is that Ain?"

Karl looked closely, and it really was, so he hurried over.

"Ain, are you here to see Teacher Zephyr too?"

Ain's face turned slightly red when she saw Karl, whom she hadn't seen for a long time: "Um, that, did Staff Officer Tsuru tell you? About becoming your deputy."

"Hahahaha, of course she did. Why, are you so impatient to become my adjutant?"

Ain hammered Karl's chest with a pink fist angrily: "Hmph! I just want to be your adjutant, do you agree?"

"Then how dare I not agree! Otherwise, if you turn me into a kid, who should I go to?"

Ain's mouth turned up slightly, and her heartbeat accelerated slightly as she looked at Karl, who was smiling evilly.

"You're sensible! I'm going to find Teacher Zephyr!" After speaking, Ain ran away with a red face.

"Hey! Remember to report to me the day after tomorrow morning!"

"Got it!!!"

After Ain left, Karl smiled and left. He hadn't seen the blonde nurse Monica for several months, and he missed her very much.

At night, the rain stopped.

Monica lay limply on Karl, panting, and drew circles on Karl's chest with her fingers.

"In a few days, I'm planning to move out."

Karl frowned and looked directly into Monica's eyes: "Why?"

Is it because of the recent news, or did someone tell her something?

"You, are too dazzling... I'm not worthy of you, and you are always outside fighting pirates, I, I don't have a sense of security..."

Karl fell silent, silently lit a cigarette, got up from the bed, and walked to the window.

After a cigarette burned out, Karl looked at Monica, who had "fallen asleep," and whispered: "I'm sorry..."

On the bed, Monica, who was pretending to be asleep, shed hot tears from the corners of her eyes, soaking the pillow.

She had already anticipated such an ending, hadn't she?

Karl sighed. Monica was an ordinary person after all, and what ordinary people want is only companionship.

But as a navy, he couldn't give this kind of companionship.

In the dead of night, Karl suddenly opened his eyes, climbed out of bed, took out 100 million berries from the system space, and put them into Monica's suitcase.

Then he broke off one of Monica's golden hairs, preparing to make it into a Vivre Card.

In this way, even if they couldn't be together in the future, Monica could live a wealthy life, and with the Vivre Card, if Monica's life was threatened, he could also detect it in time.

The next day, Crescent Bay.

"Look, is that Rear Admiral Karl!" "It's him, sisters, don't let him run away!"

Hearing that Karl was back, a large number of female navy soldiers blocked him, calling him Rear Admiral Karl one by one.

"Rear Admiral Karl, can you do me a favor?"

The female navy soldier in front pointed to the knife scar on her cheek, and Karl understood instantly. The debt owed at the G-2 branch would have to be repaid sooner or later.

"Hahahaha, no problem! Wait, let me find a place..."

Thus, Dr. Karl's clinic officially opened, and the female navy soldiers queuing up to see a doctor and remove scars were endless.

In the end, the whole Marineford was shocked, but anyone with minor illnesses and injuries came. If Karl hadn't been able to use Holy Light on a large scale, he would have been exhausted long ago.

Taking a vacation is more tiring than going to work, Karl was also convinced, but such behavior greatly improved Karl's prestige within the navy.

At least in Marineford, the great name of the miracle doctor Karl was known to everyone.
