Chapter 73

Karl retreated a few steps to dissipate the force, rubbing his arm in pain, but Ma Erke rushed over quickly.

Not allowing Karl to think of a countermeasure, he directly exchanged martial arts with Ma Erke.

"Iron Body: Steel Elbow!" "Whip Finger Pistol!" "Tempest Kick: Break!"

Under this high-intensity battle, Karl's combat skills improved rapidly, almost utilizing every part of his body to the limit.

But Ma Erke was able to rely on the advantage of his physique to respond to all changes with the same stance. After fighting for a while, Ma Erke made a small profit, and Karl suffered a small loss.

"This guy is really troublesome! Such proficient Six Powers techniques, could it be that he started learning Six Powers from his mother's womb?" Ma Erke muttered to himself, but his expression didn't change at all.

But Karl was different. Although he took a lot of hits, his combat skills were improving by leaps and bounds. It was becoming increasingly difficult for Ma Erke to block his attacks.

"No, I must end the battle as soon as possible. Big Sister Whitey Bay's situation probably won't last long."

Ma Erke's gaze narrowed, preparing to get serious. Although he was very unwilling to admit it, this Navy officer indeed brought him no small amount of trouble and was definitely not an opponent who could be defeated casually.

Just as Ma Erke was about to take action, a gloating voice came from the air.

"Mm oh~ Isn't this the captain of the First Division of the Bai Huzi Pirates, Phoenix Ma Erke! Why are you so disheveled!"

"Did my adjutant hit too hard?"

Hearing this familiar tone, Ma Erke's expression immediately became ugly.

"Damn it, it's Kizaru!"

This was troublesome now. Kizaru was far more troublesome than Karl. Most importantly, with Kizaru here, killing Karl was basically impossible.

Kizaru transformed into photons and flashed in front of Karl, looking at Ma Erke nonchalantly: "Don't be so distant! We are opponents who have fought many times, after all."

"Hmph! The Bai Huzi Pirates will remember this!" After saying this, Ma Erke walked to Whitey Bay's side, gave her simple treatment, and carried her away.

Kizaru just watched Ma Erke leave quietly, without any intention of chasing, until the two disappeared.

"Are you okay!"

Karl said with a bitter smile: "Do I look like I'm okay?"

Looking at the corpses all over the ship, Kizaru pursed his lips: "Tsk tsk tsk~ You really are ruthless! You've completely offended the Bai Huzi Pirates now!"

"So what? I'm just doing what a Navy officer should do. Not killing Whitey Bay is already giving that old guy enough face, okay!"

Kizaru shook his head, seeming somewhat helpless: "Let's go! Why are you still standing there?"

After burning the pirate ship with a fire, Karl stepped on the Moon Walk and returned to the warship. Now the Navy soldiers looked at him differently.

"Major Karl, you are too amazing! Wiping out the Witch Pirates, on par with Phoenix Ma Erke. So you were this strong!"

"Yeah! I just saw it; those pirates had no power to resist in front of Major Karl!"

"Look at these tempered muscles. Major Karl must have become this strong through diligent training!"

Ahem, that's right. Between diligent training and slacking off, Karl chose to diligently slack off. All his strength was gained by his ability to slack off!

As for the change in attitude of the Navy soldiers, it was also within Karl's expectations. Whether it's the Navy or pirates, they have always admired the strong. Only with strength can one have respect.

Facing the excited and admiring gazes of the Navy soldiers, Karl waved his hand calmly.

"Everyone, don't be excited. Defeating pirates is nothing. I just want to tell you that the Navy is the hegemon of the sea, whether it's Bai Huzi, Big Mom, or Kaido!"

"They are just pirates. The Navy is born to be the nemesis of pirates. So, we don't need to fear them!"

"Instead, they fear us, fear justice!!!"

Hearing Karl's chicken soup quotes, the Navy soldiers' faces flushed with excitement, wishing they could immediately kill a pirate to liven things up.

After returning to the lounge, Karl collapsed on the sofa, rubbing his neck with effort. He had to make up for the time spent fighting, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to finish today's daily tasks. ===== CHAPTER 75 =====
