Chapter 68: Witch Pirates

New World.

Karl was studying the intelligence on the Butcher Pirates.

The information given by the Navy Intelligence Department was that the Butcher Pirates had landed on Raijin Island five days ago, but they didn't take any action. After replenishing supplies, they left quickly, and then there was no more news.

The Intelligence Department speculated that their next stop would be Aviles Island or Tren Island on the route, but Karl had been to both of these islands and hadn't found any trace of them.

Currently, Karl had no choice in this situation but to wait for news or try his luck.

As for Kizaru, he had received a call a day ago and flashed away directly, saying nothing. The Butcher Pirates were left for him to handle alone.

Well, not exactly alone; there were still some ordinary Navy soldiers on the warship who were fine for helping out, but expecting them to help Karl capture pirates was a bit difficult for them.

"Re, report, sir, a pirate ship has appeared ahead!"

Karl stood up with a 'swoosh': "Is it the Butcher Pirates?"

"No, it's not, it's the Witch Pirates!"

Karl's face immediately fell; his joy was for nothing. He knew his luck wouldn't be that good, but as a qualified Navy officer, Karl quickly adjusted his mindset and said: "What's their background!"

"The captain of the Witch Pirates is the 'Ice Witch' Whitey Bay, with a bounty of 280 million Berries. They are, they are one of the allied pirate crews under the Bai Huzi Pirates!"

Karl stood up with a 'swoosh', walked off the warship, and picked up his binoculars to look at the pirate ship in the distance.

It was a pirate ship with a steel-cast hull, with snowflake patterns embedded on the bow and stern for decoration, and the masts and front sails were printed with skulls; the style looked more like an icebreaker.

Karl's gaze was solemn. That 'Ice Witch' wasn't much trouble for him; the real trouble was the Bai Huzi behind her.

Everyone in the world knows that Bai Huzi is extremely protective of his own; if anyone dares to take action against his people, they must be prepared to accept Bai Huzi's wrath.

And the 43 allied pirate crews under Bai Huzi also used Bai Huzi's reputation to run rampant in the New World, and even the Navy had to give them a wide berth.

The Ice Witch Whitey Bay was exactly the kind that was notorious.

"Major Karl, what should we do?"

Looking at the terrified soldiers, Karl sighed in his heart. This was just an affiliated pirate crew, and they were already scared out of their wits. If they encountered Bai Huzi's Moby Dick, wouldn't they shit their pants?

Of course, if Kizaru were here, these Navy soldiers wouldn't be this scared; to put it bluntly, they didn't trust Karl's strength.

So what if the newspaper blew Karl's achievements out of proportion? The actual record he could show was empty.

Karl took a deep breath, feeling that this was also a chance to prove himself. He couldn't find the Butcher Pirates, so he would use this Witch Pirates crew to test the waters.

Ice Witch Whitey Bay, a veteran crew member of the Bai Huzi Pirates, was almost forced into a desperate situation by a Pacifista during the Summit War, which shows how lackluster her strength is.

Although her bounty is as high as 280 million Berries, in Karl's view, it's a bit inflated. Defeating her isn't a problem; the only concern is what to do after defeating her.

Thinking of this, Karl began to issue orders methodically to stabilize the morale of the troops, while carefully observing the movements of the pirate ship.

"You, go notify Admiral Kizaru immediately. Everyone else, prepare for battle! Once the Witch Pirates get close, open fire immediately!"

"Yes!!!"

The Ice Witch.

"Big Sister, look! There's a warship over there!"

Whitey Bay picked up her binoculars and revealed a confident smile when she saw that the person commanding the warship was just a greenhorn.

Because this warship had no special markings, and the commander was someone she didn't recognize, she just thought it was an ordinary warship.

If it were a dog-headed warship, she would have turned around and run without a word, but now...

"Little ones, speed up! I really want to see if a Navy warship can withstand the impact of the Witch!"

"Oh oh oh!!!" "Kill all the Navy!!"

The Ice Witch immediately began to adjust its direction and accelerated toward the warship. The pirates on the ship were fanatical, occasionally letting out excited, strange cries.

On the warship, Karl looked at the pirate ship charging straight at them and shook his head helplessly, casually taking the Den Den Mushi handed to him by a marine.

"Moshi moshi~ Karl, if you can, just ignore them, otherwise it will be very headache-inducing!"

"Sorry, Admiral Kizaru, it's too late to retreat now; they are coming straight at us!"

"Mm oh~ That's truly scary! Since that's the case, then handle it yourself! I can probably get there in an hour, you have to hold on!"

"Hahaha, I'll try my best."

Hanging up the phone, Karl's eyes gradually became sharp. He turned his head and said to the Navy soldiers beside him: "Remember, don't let the pirate ship hit us. I'll be right back!"

"Major Karl, what, what do you want to do?"

"Do what a Navy officer should do."

As soon as he finished speaking, Karl's figure disappeared from the deck. The marines looked up and saw Karl already stepping on the Moon Walk, flying into the sky and crossing the sea.

"Big Sister, a Navy officer seems to be flying toward us!"

"What!"

Whitey Bay hurriedly looked at the sky. It was a man wearing a white uniform and a cape of justice. His feet were stepping on the air, and it looked like he was about to reach their ship.

"Hmph! Seeking death! Open fire! Shoot him for me!"

Whitey Bay waved her arm gently, and the pirates on the deck immediately raised their rifles, aiming at Karl in the sky.

"Fire!"

Bang bang bang~ The rifles fired in unison, and dozens of black bullets shot toward Karl in the sky.

But Karl had already tilted his head in advance, dodging the bullets that would have hit him, and then continued to charge toward the pirate ship.

"Oh no, Big Sister, he dodged them all, he's coming over!"

Karl landed gracefully on the bow of the ship, looking at the Ice Witch Whitey Bay, who was wearing a captain's hat. She was a quite beautiful woman with a good figure, but beneath her beautiful appearance was a cold and ruthless heart.

Countless Navy officers and civilians had died at her hands, and because of Bai Huzi, the Navy rarely bothered her.

Karl slowly drew the repaired 'Crow', pointed at this group of motley pirates, and said: "Are you ready to die?"

"Scum!"

The pirates, who were ready for battle, looked at each other after hearing Karl's words, and then burst into violent mocking laughter.

"Hahahaha, pretty boy, who do you think you are! You dare to be this arrogant all by yourself?"

"Hey! This brat looks quite fair and clean; why don't we capture him and send him to Big Sister's bed tonight?"

"Hahahaha, makes sense!"

To this, Karl really wanted to say: Is being handsome a crime?

But he only complained in his heart. He was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people who were about to die; finishing the fight early and slacking off early was the right path.

"Swish~" A sword light flashed.

The tall pirate in front of Karl clutched his neck in disbelief and fell heavily to the ground, making a loud bang.

"Jell!!!"

"Attack! Kill him! Avenge Jell!!!"

A group of pirates swarmed over. Karl was completely unafraid, and even felt a bit expectant.

Whitey Bay, as the captain, lay comfortably on a fur chair with a smile, quietly waiting for this arrogant Navy officer to fall into a pool of blood.

Only, the development of the situation seemed different from what she had imagined... ===== CHAPTER 70 =====
