Chapter 7
Zefa's words are not unreasonable. In this world, the importance of physique is unquestionable.
Don't you see, Jinbe broke the Seastone handcuffs with his bare hands, took Kaido's double-wielding Haki-infused club with his face, but only shed a little nosebleed.
What kind of strong physique is this? In contrast, Ashura, who is also one of the Nine Red Scabbards, is too inferior! He was actually blown up by a bomb, growing a body of fat for nothing!
You know, Gear 4 Luffy was hammered by Kaido with a club until his eyes rolled back, while Jinbe took it with his face and was not only fine, but could even stab Kaido with a knife!
It can be seen how important physique is, but the problem is, Karl doesn't need to improve his physique through training at all. By slacking off every day, he can get growth far exceeding daily training through attribute enhancement cards.
Although it's not impossible to train after work, it's too boring. Karl is a man, a handsome and fierce man!
How can he waste his precious nightlife on cultivation?
Lu Xun has a saying that is very good: if a person is handsome, it is only because of tiredness; if a person is beautiful, they will suffer. Karl believes in this deeply.
"Cough, cough, Master Zefa, don't worry!"
As for what to worry about, Karl won't say, and you don't ask.
Zefa nodded with satisfaction, the child can be taught! He patted Karl on the shoulder and said: "Wait for two days until you return to normal before coming to the training ground! Otherwise, it will affect others."
"Great, uh, I mean, okay, by the way! Master Zefa, if it weren't for Ain today, I might not have gone to buy fruit to eat, and it would have been impossible to accidentally eat that Devil Fruit.
So, I want to ask you to be lenient and don't make things difficult for Ain."
"Hahahaha, I'm not that unreasonable. By the way, before the training camp ends, it's best not to expose your ability, otherwise it will cause unnecessary trouble!"
"Hmm, okay, Master Zefa, then I'm leaving!"
Karl nodded. If it weren't for being accidentally discovered by that old six Kizaru, he definitely wouldn't have exposed his ability so quickly.
Feeling the envious and jealous eyes around him, Karl left the training ground with his butt, so as not to be torn in half by those lemon spirits.
Fleet Admiral's office.
Except for Kizaru, there was an extra Staff Officer Tsuru. If Garp hadn't gone on vacation, he should have come to join in the fun.
"Little Tsuru, did you bring Karl's detailed information?"
Staff Officer Tsuru nodded: "Of course, everything since joining the Navy is here. Sengoku, is that kid's ability really as magical as you said?"
Before Sengoku could speak, Kizaru on the side said: "Ooh~ Staff Officer Tsuru, little brother Karl's ability is really magical. Even now I can feel it playing a role!"
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, how about letting him be my adjutant after Karl graduates? I am very optimistic about him!"
Sengoku frowned and raised his round-framed glasses: "You are too impatient! It will take at least three months for Karl to graduate!"
"But once Karl's ability is announced, he will be very popular! After all, who doesn't want to have a companion Move Move Like Karl when going on a mission?"
Although Kizaru's tone was still out of tune, his expression was a bit serious, which was a world of difference from his usual attitude of not caring about anything.
As for what he was thinking, no one could see through it, not even Sengoku, who was known as the wise general.
But only Kizaru himself knew that he saw his former self in Karl, and they had some similar qualities.
Plus he is a Marine valued by Zefa. If he could let Karl walk on the right path Move Move Like him, then Master Zefa would definitely be very happy!
"Admiral Kizaru, I promise you that before Karl graduates, his ability will definitely not be announced. As for whether he is willing to follow you, it's not up to me, it depends on Karl's own opinion."
Kizaru pouted, as if thinking of some ghost idea, and after saying hello, he left the Fleet Admiral's office directly.
On the other side, Karl, who left the training ground, wandered around Marineford with nothing to do, familiarizing himself with the terrain while also seeing many familiar places.
For example, the main battlefield of the future "Summit War", Marineford Square, Crescent Bay....
Looking at the lively Navy family community, Karl couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that you can get a house here if you become a field-grade officer at the headquarters. Sigh~ I don't know when I can get one."
"This should be very simple for you! Little brother."
Listening to this familiar voice, Karl was shocked in his heart. Damn, Kizaru, this old six, has no sound at all when walking! Do you know that this will scare people to death, bastard!
"Admiral Kizaru!"
"Little brother Karl, don't be so restrained! Just now I heard you say you want a house here?"
Kizaru still had that slow tone, Karl was a little anxious listening to it, but that wasn't the key.
Now he is in a boy's body, about 1.5 meters tall, but Kizaru is a full 3 meters tall, almost twice as high as his current self, making it very difficult for Karl to talk to Kizaru, and being so close, looking up at 45° is not enough.
"Uh, yes, Admiral Kizaru."
"That's very simple! As long as you come to be my adjutant after graduation, you don't need to say anything about the house, the logistics department will take the initiative to arrange it for you."
Karl was shocked in his heart. Is Kizaru recruiting him? No, he is recruiting him!
Generally speaking, recruits who participate in the training camp will be assigned to the four seas and the Grand Line after graduation. Only the most outstanding recruits will stay at the Navy Headquarters and grow for a period of time with a certain Vice Admiral or Admiral.
For example, the former Aokiji was Garp's follower and little fanboy.
Kizaru showed favor to him in advance, undoubtedly because he valued his ability. Karl is very confident about this. Which ADC doesn't want a reliable support?
But Zefa just told him to stay away from Kizaru, and Kizaru came to recruit him at this time.
This has to make Karl suspect that there is some unspeakable secret competition between these two enemies. It is very difficult for a little rookie Move Move Like him to be caught in the middle!
However, in all fairness, if he were allowed to choose who to follow, he would most likely choose Kizaru. The reason is simple: Aokiji is a slacker at this stage. He is already slacking off, how can Karl slack off?
Although Akainu is dedicated, with his harsh personality, it is impossible to sit idly by and watch Karl slack off, and he will definitely increase his requirements for him.
So Karl doesn't have many choices. One is Garp, who is strong and has many holidays;
The other is Kizaru, who is fast and efficient, and Karl can even add a buff to him at the Navy Headquarters, and Kizaru can kill people in a flash.
"Hahahaha, Admiral Kizaru, it's still early before graduation! No need to be so anxious, but don't worry, if I have to choose by then, I will definitely prioritize being your adjutant!"
The corners of Kizaru's mouth pouted slightly, as if he was very satisfied with Karl's answer, and he took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and threw them to Karl.
"This is the key to my former residence. If you don't mind, just move in first! Consider it a gift from me to you!"
After speaking, Kizaru turned into a golden light and disappeared in place, not giving Karl any room to refuse.
"Good guy, today is really magical. I have a house, my career is stable, and I slacked off happily, tsk tsk tsk~"
