One Piece: Starting as a Marine Lieutenant, I Slack Off and Get Stronger

After saying that, Karl gripped his twin swords, and a flying slash, one purple and one red, instantly struck Kaido.

But that wasn't all. Karl then got into position and whispered, "Dual Sword Style: Raven Feather!"

Karl's figure vanished instantly, reappearing behind Kaido.

"Ahhhhh~"

Kaido clutched his chest, looked down and saw two more gruesome knife wounds. Turning back, he saw Karl looking at him with a half-smile.

That's so unfair! I took his Thunder Bagua attack and I'm fine so quickly. Who the hell is the Zoan type here?

"What exactly is your ability? How can you have such a strong recovery ability?"

Karl planted Qiushui in the ground, holy light appearing in his palm: "You mean this? I call it Holy Light. It has extremely strong healing abilities and can also strengthen the body. What do you think? Not bad, right?"

Kaido's eyes widened, and he gasped. The temperature around him instantly rose several degrees. Did such a power even exist in the world?

"The reason those guys became so troublesome last time was because you, brat, were pulling strings behind the scenes?"

"you guess?"

Kaido sneered, "Hmph~ I'd like to see if your healing ability is stronger, or my recovery ability is stronger! Come on! Try and wear me down!!!"

"Oh my god!!!"

Kaido started roaring again, sounding very passionate.

Karl quickly pulled out his Autumn Water and took it seriously. He couldn't afford to be distracted while fighting Kaido, or he would be hit with Thunder Bagua.

On the other side, Nelson's eyes lit up when he saw Ian watching from the sidelines: "Ian, Ian!!!"

Ain turned her head and quickly went to Nelson's side: "What did headquarters say?"

"Admiral Akainu and Vice Admiral Garp are on their way, but it will take some time, probably about a day..."

Where is Admiral Kizaru?

"Well, headquarters didn't say anything, but I guess Admiral Kizaru must have something to do! Otherwise, given the relationship between Admiral Kizaru and Vice Admiral Karl, he would definitely come over immediately!"

And that is indeed the case. Kizaru is currently working with Vegapunk himself in the Navy Science Unit on a secret mission.

The mission details... are being investigated!

Chapter 132 Kaido's Teacher

The following day, G-10 base.

After a day and a night of fighting, the base headquarters was in ruins, practically nothing was intact.

Gion rested to the side, but her attention was entirely on Kaido and Karl, ready to intervene should anything happen.

Karl was still in good condition, though his clothes were a bit tattered. There was nothing he could do about it; after all, Karl had lost count of how many blows Kaido had struck him, so it was normal for his clothes to be torn.

As for Kaido... he was full of energy, even though he still had several wounds on his body that hadn't healed yet.

"Kaido, do we still want to fight? Haiju's reinforcements are on their way!"

Kaido said impatiently, "So what if we're here? Do you think I'm afraid of the Marines?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Vice Admiral Garp and Admiral Akainu will be very happy to hear this. Don't you dare run away later!"

Kaido was taken aback. Garp? Akainu? Are they that tough? But then he thought, what's there to be afraid of? At worst, he'll just get arrested, no big deal!

"I am Kaido of the Beasts!!!"

An invisible aura suddenly erupted, instantly sweeping across the entire G-10 base. This was the first time Kaido had used Conqueror's Haki to intimidate during his battle with Karl, demonstrating his kingly aura.

"Jiang Sanshi Yin Nai Luo!"

Kaido leaped into the air, spinning as he jumped. Whether he closed his eyes or not is unknown, but black lightning was already wrapped around his iron rod, which then slammed down on Karl's head.

Bang bang~ bang bang...

Carl's heart pounded wildly, and the air around him seemed to be sucked out, making it hard to breathe.

Is this the power of the sea's overlord? Is this Conqueror's Haki?

Dodge? No, I don't want to dodge. So what if I have Conqueror's Haki? So what if I have the qualities of a king?

"Ding~ Host's willpower has reached S-rank, and Conqueror's Haki is about to awaken..."

Boom~

A loud bang echoed in Karl's mind, and a feeling he had never experienced before surged through his body, as if something was about to come out!

Kakakka~

An aura as astonishing as Kaido's erupted from Karl's body. A look of astonishment flashed in Kaido's eyes. Conqueror's Haki?

A vice admiral can awaken Conqueror's Haki? What kind of talent is that? What would happen if he became an admiral?

Okay, it's not that big of a deal. Didn't the Warring States period have Conqueror's Haki? And wasn't the Navy the same?

But witnessing Karl awaken before my very eyes, the feeling was... a bit complicated, and also strangely familiar.

Once upon a time, his daughter Yamato, after being beaten by him, displayed the qualities of a tyrant, and even shouted that she wanted to become Kozuki Oden.

This navy cannot be allowed to live!

Thinking of this, Kaido couldn't help but increase the force, as if he wanted to kill Karl with a single blow.

The next moment, a red light flashed in Karl's eyes, and Autumn Water and Thunderstorm instantly slashed out, blocking the incoming spiked club.

boom! ! !

A shockwave erupted, and black and red lightning began to dance around the two of them.

"Ohhhhh!!!"

Karl grinned, and suddenly exerted force with his left hand, using Autumn Water to deflect Kaido's spiked club to the left. Kaido took the opportunity to move closer to Karl, but don't forget, Karl was still holding Thunderstorm in his right hand.

Thank you, Kaido-sensei!

呲~

Without any resistance, the thunderstorm pierced Kaido's abdomen, as smoothly as if it had been coated with oil.

Kaido froze, looking down at the reddened blade on his abdomen, speechless for a long time.

"Kaido, thank you. If it weren't for you, how would I have awakened Conqueror's Haki?"

Kaido swallowed hard, about to say something, but a sharp pain shot through his abdomen the next second.

Ahhhhh!

It turned out that Karl had spun the Thunderstorm blade while he was talking, so that the blade was facing upwards. Then, Karl used all his strength to grip the blade and slash upwards, tearing open Kaido's abdomen and chest.

Blood rained down, staining Karl red.

Kaido clutched his wounded abdomen and staggered back several steps, his face contorted in pain.

"Ouch, that hurts! You bastard, I'm going to..."

"Dog bites Guren!"

Before Kaido could finish speaking, he was sent flying by a lava dog's head. The scalding lava burned Kaido, causing him to scream and roll around on the ground.

Akainu didn't press his advantage; instead, he looked down at Karl and said, "Well done."

Karl gave a wry smile: "Thank you, Admiral Akainu. This Kaido is too difficult to deal with. Are you alone?"

Akainu shook his head: "I don't know. Anyway, I didn't see anyone else. Leave the rest to me!"

Karl nodded, condensing golden holy light and merging it into Akainu's body: "Then I'll leave it to you, Admiral Akainu."

Akainu didn't speak, but his right hand transformed into magma, and the surrounding air began to become extremely hot.

Kaido quickly engaged Akainu in battle, and the wound that Karl had painstakingly inflicted earlier was already almost completely healed.

This is infuriating!

However, this is also a good opportunity for Karl to take a good look at his own attributes.

Physique: S- (Bonus for being a heartbreaker)

Perception: B+

Willpower: S-

Haki: Armament Haki LV8 (Hardening, Entangling, External Release, Internal Destruction), Observation Haki LV8 (Weakness Detection), Conqueror's Haki LV1

Finally, I've become a man with Conqueror's Haki, successfully reaching the "average" level in the One Piece world. From now on, I can go out confidently without fear of embarrassment.

However, my current level of Conqueror's Haki is too low, and it's useless except for clearing out mobs, but it's better to have it than nothing.
