After briefly studying the Special Skill Upgrade Card, Karl used the first one on [Child of the Sea] without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Usage successful. [Child of the Sea] has been changed to [Father of the Sea]. Detected conflict between Holy Light Fruit and [Father of the Sea] effects. Correcting...

Immune to the negative effects of Devil Fruits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The corners of Karl’s mouth curled up slightly. He had bet correctly. Now, the ocean was no longer a debuff for him!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For the remaining Special Skill Upgrade Card, Karl thought for a moment and chose to use it on [Moving as a Rabbit].\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Usage successful. [Moving as a Rabbit] has been changed to [Moving as a Mad Rabbit].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>[Moving as a Mad Rabbit]: In combat state, stamina consumption is reduced by 75%.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>With this, Karl had completely become a stamina monster. Added to the bonuses of [Still as a Virgin] and [Heart-Arsonist], Karl was willing to call it \"Sit-ups (Pseudo).\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Now Karl felt he was only missing Conqueror’s Haki. Should he go find Teacher Kaido and bump into him?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Maybe he could get it in one go?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Eh~ why do you feel Move Move Like you’ve grown taller?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl was stunned. He had just enhanced his physique; could it have had a height-increasing effect?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl stood up quickly and found it seemed to be true. He used to be a head taller than Ain; now it was more than a head.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You really have grown taller! Hey~ wait a moment, I’ll go find a ruler!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Look, I told you! Your height is now 198CM, 6CM taller than before!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl said with a half-smile: \"How do you know I’m 6CM taller?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I, of course... Hmph, can't I just tell? I’m not talking to you anymore, I’m going to play with Shirahoshi!\" Ain ran away, blushing.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl chuckled, then suddenly slapped his forehead. He had almost forgotten to test the effect of Weakness Perception. He then activated Observation Haki.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In his Observation Haki perception, more than a dozen weaknesses appeared on Ain. These were the most basic human weak points. Even without activating Observation Haki, Karl would usually strike at these weak points during normal combat.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>But Weakness Perception had more than just this effect. As Ain moved, the weaknesses exposed on her body would also change.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This meant that Weakness Perception had the ability to change dynamically, shifting as the opponent moved and changed their moves, showing Karl the current weak points in order to land a \"critical hit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Phew, feels quite practical. If I could get future sight or telepathy in the future, that would be great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Bang bang bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Just as the knocking sounded, Smoker impatiently elementalized and slipped through the door crack, entering the palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"The Flying Pirates have landed on Fish-Man Island. They are currently causing trouble in Water Wheel Town. Jinbe has already taken people there! Let’s go too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Water Wheel Town?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl stroked his chin, feeling something was wrong. Water Wheel Town was the town furthest from the Dragon Palace; why go there?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No rush. Let Jinbe handle it. We’ll stay at the Dragon Palace and wait for the rabbit to come to us!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Smoker was about to say something but suddenly froze: \"You mean, this guy Vander Decken is using a diversion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Very possible! After all, the Marines aren't on Fish-Man Island now, and the most threatening person on the island is Jinbe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"If Jinbe is away, then the Dragon Palace... hehe, I don't need to say more, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Outside the Dragon Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"How’s the situation?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, Boss. Jinbe has already rushed to Water Wheel Town. Now there are only some Neptune Army soldiers left in the Dragon Palace. We can just rush in and find Princess Shirahoshi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Vander Decken’s mouth curled up slightly, revealing a lecherous smile: \"Heh, hehe, Princess Shirahoshi, here I come!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Bang~\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The wall of the Dragon Palace collapsed with a roar, and a dozen fierce fish-man pirates rushed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Brothers, charge! Kill anyone who blocks the way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Ooooooh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Nelson put down his binoculars and revealed a smile. As expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Pirates are here! Everyone, get your spirits up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain, who was playing with Shirahoshi, also heard the loud noise and quickly looked at Karl: \"It must be that guy Vander Decken! I’ll go take a look!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl nodded: \"Then I’ll leave it to you! Kill or capture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although he had just enhanced his strength, he had absolutely no interest in making a move. If he had to personally deal with such small fry, then he wouldn't be able to slack off at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After marking a Neptune Army soldier, Vander Decken quickly hid behind the palace and casually threw a small knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The knife seemed to have eyes, spinning in the air a few times before hitting the soldier between the eyebrows, killing him instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Tch! The Neptune Army really are all trash.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Looking at the Hard-Shell Tower not far away, Vander Decken’s heart grew hot. After a year, he could finally see Shirahoshi, whom he had been thinking of, again.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After solving the Neptune Army soldiers with his subordinates, Vander Decken finally arrived in front of the Hard-Shell Tower. Although the lack of guards made him feel a bit strange, the swords, hammers, and halberds on the Hard-Shell Tower made him very certain that Shirahoshi was inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hehehe~ Shirahoshi! Look who’s here to see you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Click click click~\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Vander Decken pushed open the door and froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He saw more than twenty Marines pointing their guns at him, with Nelson, Ain, and Smoker standing in the center, looking at him with half-smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Marines! How can there be Marines? Didn't you leave?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Ain gave a mocking laugh: \"Yes, we did leave, but we’re back!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You pedophilic pervert, prepare to die!\" After saying this, Ain was the first to rush toward Vander Decken.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Vander Decken was terrified, shouting in shock: \"Damn it, we’ve been tricked! Retreat! Retreat!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Surrender, pirate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1138,"2026-06-16T20:20:51.518Z","2026-06-17T08:56:49.806Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","705bbb4108bdcd5bc328a9b3cfef596cbd30825e730f62576001f007551b23f4","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-99","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-97",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-cover.jpg"]
