Chapter 674: Bonus Chapter: Adventurer Expo 2

"Devil's Heir, Douglas Bullet. Tsk, another guy related to Roger, huh?"

Kuzan shook his head helplessly. Now that the Navy and the New Government were in bed together, their attitude toward pirates was the same: zero tolerance.

Come to think of it, it had been a long time since any pirate dared to come out and make a scene so blatantly. This guy Bullet really wasn't afraid of death.

"Since he already escaped from Impel Down, why bother re-emerging? I really can't figure that guy out. By the way, are you going on this mission?" Kuzan glanced at Karl, who was busy teasing his daughter, thinking this guy probably wouldn't go.

But the next second, Karl said without hesitation: "Of course. After resting for so long, it's time to come out and stretch my muscles."

It was definitely not because he didn't want to keep changing his daughter's diapers! That's right, that's it!

Kuzan looked at Karl suspiciously, but couldn't find any clues, so he had to say: "Since you're going, then I'm relieved. Do you need anyone else to help?"

"Are you kidding? Do I need help? It's just a Bullet, isn't it? Just watch me hammer him, that's all."

"Besides, this guy's Union-Union Fruit ability is quite troublesome. If too many warships go, it's just sending him materials, so I'll go alone."

Kuzan nodded in agreement. He trusted Karl's combat power, but someone still needed to be sent to handle the aftermath. Hmm, calling Vice Admiral Peng En to go would be fine.

"Alright, then this mission is handed to you! Set off whenever you're ready!"

Karl nodded: "Setting off isn't urgent yet. I have to let Master Zephyr and the old man Sengoku see my daughter first, right?"

Recruit training ground.

"Hey, look, that man looks so familiar? Wait, is, is that Admiral Karl? Is his vacation over?"

"Holy crap! Admiral Karl, ahhh! Admiral Karl! I'm your fan!!!"

Karl held Liana in one arm and waved to the recruits with his other hand.

These recruits were potential newcomers selected through layers of screening by the Navy Headquarters from all over the world. There weren't many, only about 50, but in the future, each of these recruits would at least be at the level of a Headquarters Colonel in combat power, showing that the Navy had thoroughly implemented the philosophy that troops should be elite rather than numerous.

Passing by the recruits who were training, Karl found a tall old man around the training field.

"Master Zephyr, long time no see, you're still so spirited!"

Zephyr looked at Liana in Karl's arms with a smile, asking impatiently: "Is, is this your child?"

"Yes! Master Zephyr, her name is Boa Liana, she just turned 3 months old. How about it, does she look like me?"

Zephyr narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully examining Liana's features, and sighed: "She does, she looks just like you. She'll definitely be a great beauty when she grows up. But, this is the child of that Pirate Empress, right?"

"Sigh, that was how many years ago? She's a King of a Lianhezheng Prefecture member nation now, you can't look at people through colored glasses!"

Zephyr scratched his head with a smile: "That's true. Can I hold her?"

Karl didn't hesitate and handed Liana directly to Master Zephyr.

Zephyr's eyes widened as he carefully took Liana into his arms. Liana, who had been sleeping, opened her eyes groggily and then saw Zephyr's face.

However, Liana wasn't afraid, because compared to Zephyr, Hancock's two sisters were the real monsters; Liana was already used to it.

Liana stretched out her chubby, lotus-root-like hands, opened her mouth wide to yawn to regain her energy, and then reached out to tug at Zephyr's beard, letting out the most attractive laughter of a human cub.

The corners of Zephyr's mouth lifted slightly, as if he had remembered his own wife and children. A crystalline tear welled up in the corner of his eye, and his eyes turned slightly red.

"It's really great! Karl, you must protect her well and let her... grow up healthy and happy."

"That goes without saying, Master Zephyr!"

"Hey! It really is you brat, I was wondering why the recruits were all so distracted! Huh, who is this kid?" Sengoku, that old rascal, rushed over in a single bound, looking at Liana in Zephyr's arms with a doting smile.

"Karl, you brat, this is your cub, right? Oh my, she's so cute! Let me hold her!"

Karl shrugged, indicating they had to take turns.

Listening to the praise from Zephyr and Sengoku, the corners of Karl's mouth lifted slightly. Sure enough, showing off one's child is best done in front of these bachelors; the effect is outstanding.

April 1st, Didao, Adventurer Expo venue.

Chopper lay by the railing, looking at the sea of people on Didao, and couldn't help but sigh: "So many people! Are these all adventurers?"

"That's for sure. As long as they are adventurers, no one would want to miss this grand event! After all, that's one billion Alliance coins! Enough for us to spend for a long, long time!"

After finishing, Nami turned her head, grabbed Luffy's ear, and roared fiercely: "Did you hear that? Luffy! You must win the championship! Otherwise, you won't have any pocket money in the future!!!"

Luffy calmly picked his nose: "If I don't win the championship, why would I come here?"

"Hahaha, well said. Since we're here, we're here to win the championship! We'll do the commissioned tasks, and we'll also take the championship! Killing two birds with one stone!" Nami danced with joy.

"Wait, that's Shanks' ship!" Luffy leaped up and jumped toward the large ship ahead.

After arriving on the deck, Luffy looked at the tall man in front with a smile and shouted happily: "Shanks! Long time no see!"

Shanks turned back, somewhat surprised: "Luffy, why did you come too?"

"Hehe, after all, I'm an adventurer too. So, Shanks, are you here to take second place?" A fighting spirit flashed in Luffy's eyes.

In his view, since Shanks came to participate in the Expo, he must be here to compete with him for the title of strongest adventurer. He had long wanted to compare himself with Shanks!

"Ahahahaha! That will depend on your ability, Luffy!" Shanks said that, but he clearly didn't think so in his heart. The reason he came here was to stop Bullet.

The moment he saw this mission at the Adventurer branch, Shanks went through everyone possible in his mind, and combined with the experience at Impel Down, he quickly locked onto the target.

Douglas Bullet, a monster who was already incredibly powerful when he was still an intern.

With so many people and so many ships, with that guy Bullet's ability, it would inevitably cause a catastrophe! Therefore, he must stop Bullet.

"Straw Hat kid! Why are you here?"

Buggy looked at Luffy in shock, and Luffy also looked at Buggy seriously.

"So familiar! Old man, who are you?"

"Nani!!!!" ===== CHAPTER 676 =====
