Chapter 76

Others only thought Princess Otohime was killed by human pirates, but Karl knew it was Hody Jones who did it.

In other words, this mission actually had no difficulty for Karl. No, no, forget it, the risk is too high, not worth it.

Although Fish-Man Island and Princess Shirahoshi were quite attractive to Karl, the risk far outweighed the benefits. Karl didn't want to muddy the waters.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, what you said makes sense. Mm, leave these pirate crews to me!"

Karl casually took a few of the pirate crew files, bid farewell to Sengoku, and prepared to set off.

Crescent Moon Bay.

Karl looked at the three Navy warships in front of him and felt a bit emotional, feeling like everything had returned to the time at the 108th Branch.

"Report to Colonel Karl, everything is ready, we can set off at any time!"

"Very good, what is your name?"

The burly man in front puffed out his chest and shouted with full energy: "Report, sir. I am Nelson, rank Sergeant, serving as your adjutant."

"Very good, let's set off!"

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave! Young Karl, there's something you forgot to take!"

Karl turned his head and saw Kizaru standing behind him with a lecherous look, holding a rectangular box in his hand.

Adjutant Nelson immediately saluted when he saw Kizaru and said excitedly: "Admiral Kizaru!"

"This is...?" Karl seemed to have guessed something and looked at Kizaru with a pleasant surprise.

"That's right! It's just what you thought!"

Karl hurriedly took the box from Kizaru's hand, opened it to take a look, confirmed it was a sword, and immediately closed it.

"Sorry to trouble you, Admiral Kizaru."

Kizaru pursed his lips and waved his hand: "Just a matter of convenience. You are going to execute missions alone today, right! So fast!"

"Since that's the case, I won't disturb you. Remember to call me if anything happens."

After saying this, Kizaru transformed into photons and dissipated.

Karl sighed in his heart: Thank you, Monkey. Let's slack off together when you have time...

After boarding the warship, Nelson asked: "Colonel Karl, where are we going?"

Karl said without thinking: "Go to Water 7. A pirate crew is about to land there."

"Yes! Sir!"

After returning to his room, Karl rubbed his hands and slowly opened the box. Inside was a pitch-black sword, basically similar to the First Generation Kitetsu, but the hilt had undergone a huge change.

The sword guard changed from the original circular handguard to a shape resembling raven wings. The hilt had feather patterns, and there was a red eye at the tip.

Just as Karl picked up the sword, it immediately changed. The whole sword squirmed, and finally turned into a black raven, staring straight at Karl with blood-red eyes.

Its gaze was very vigilant, constantly flapping its wings, seemingly warning Karl not to get close.

"Hmph, quite fierce, huh!"

Karl's gaze narrowed. He grabbed the raven's body and said in a deep voice: "Submission or death?"

"Ah! Caw!"

The raven flapped its wings frantically, making a creepy sound, but its movements became weaker and weaker, and finally, it gave up struggling and lowered its head in submission.

"From now on, your name is Raven. Turn into a sword!"

The raven nodded, turned back into a sword, and automatically landed in Karl's palm.

"Not bad!"

Karl nodded silently. This sword, whether in appearance or quality, very much met his requirements.

'Crow'?

Don't contact me in the future; I'm afraid Raven will misunderstand.

Three minutes later, Karl walked out of the cabin, looked at the Navy soldiers working methodically under Nelson's command, and nodded with satisfaction.

Now he just needs to be a hands-off manager, slack off when there's nothing to do, and do things when there's something to do.

"Eh! Colonel Karl, this bird on your shoulder is..."

Karl smiled slightly and couldn't help but show off: "This? This is my weapon, named Raven."

As soon as he finished speaking, Raven transformed from bird form to weapon form. A handsome black long sword appeared in Karl's hand, drawing gasps of amazement from the surrounding Navy soldiers.

"This, how is this?"

"Hahahaha, have you heard of ability transfer technology? This Raven is an ability weapon."

Although Nelson didn't understand, he was greatly shocked, but he still remembered the main business and hurriedly asked: "By the way, Colonel Karl, who is our target this time?"

"Here, this one!" Karl took out a bounty poster.

"Flame Pirates, Roch Tang Pusen! Bounty 87 million Berries!"

Karl nodded: "That's right. Our goal is to wait for them in Water 7 and then send them to Impel Down. Do you have confidence?"

Nelson and the soldiers thought, does this even need to be asked? Who doesn't know that Colonel Karl can easily handle pirates with bounties of nearly 300 million? Roch Tang Pusen? A piece of cake.

"Yes!!!"

"Very good, then let's accelerate and strive to take them down in one fell swoop!"

"Oh oh oh oh!!!"

After three days of sailing, Karl's warship finally arrived at Water 7. Looking at the familiar buildings, Karl couldn't help but reveal a smile. Finally, he came to an island he recognized.

To avoid being discovered by the pirates that there was an ambush, Karl deliberately drove the warship into Water 7 and arranged for a few Navy soldiers to watch Scrapyard Island, and then he could start his vacation mode.

Walking on the streets of Water 7, Karl found that his head-turning rate seemed a bit high.

How could a dashing, handsome young Navy officer not attract attention? Karl was already used to this.

"Boss, how much does it cost to rent a Yagara Bull?"

The owner of the Yagara Bull rental shop hurriedly piled on a smile: "It's a Navy officer! 1000—no, 500 Berries, 500 Berries is fine!"

"That's great, I'll just take that blue Yagara Bull!"

Sitting on the Yagara Bull that looked like a sea donkey, Karl couldn't help but light a cigarette. It would be great if there were a woman by his side.

"Yagara Bull, please take me around for a stroll!"

The Yagara Bull let out a cry, seemingly already used to it, and moved slowly along the waterway.

During this time, Karl wasn't idle either, taking this opportunity to use the daily rewards he had accumulated over the past four days.

After 20 strengthening cards, perception was still D+, no change, but the 12 random rewards gave him a surprise.

"Congratulations on obtaining Sword Skill Card * 3, Observation Haki Strengthening Card * 1, Lifespan 20 days * 6, a case of Fat Happy Water, 5 million Berries."

What could Karl say! Sending a pillow when he was sleepy; it really is a mature system that knows the host's needs like the back of its hand.

After using them all, although Karl's Observation Haki was still LV2, he had an extra Sword Skill LV2 (Max LV5).

Although it was only LV2, he seemed like a master swordsman who had practiced for a long time, not only comprehending the breath of all things but also being able to release flying slashes at will.

Can use Armament Haki hardening, can use flying slashes, calling himself a master swordsman is no problem, right? ===== CHAPTER 78 =====
