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

"Huh?" "What?" "Qinghai!" "Huh?"

The four priests looked puzzled, but Enel quickly told his subordinates everything about the Blue Sea. Of course, Enel automatically ignored the fact that he had almost been killed by Karl.

In short, Enel told his subordinates that he was going to make a name for himself in the Blue Sea—to destroy Mary Geoise, and that he wanted the four priests to go with him. As for the Sky Island, he didn't want it.

“God, I am willing to walk with you and spread your glory to Qinghai.”

Ohm was the first to express his opinion, and Enel nodded in satisfaction. As expected of his most valued subordinate, he was indeed quick to understand.

Seeing Ohm's sycophantic behavior, the other priests naturally followed suit and quickly expressed their willingness. They knew very well what kind of person Enel was, and if they didn't agree, they might not see the sun rise tomorrow.

Besides, what's there to be afraid of in a bunch of ordinary people who call themselves gods? And they even call themselves descendants of the Creator? Pshaw!

There is only one God, and that is Enel!

After all, they all deeply understood the power of God.

"Hey, who are you? Don't you know this is a sacred place? You're asking for death!"

There was a commotion outside the shrine, but it quickly subsided. The four priests sensed something was amiss: "There has been an intruder!"

The four hurriedly wanted to go out and see what was going on, but they were quickly stunned because a man and a woman were walking towards them, especially the woman...

They swore that she was the most beautiful woman they had ever seen in their lives, and their hearts pounded just looking at her.

"Wow, what a beautiful woman!" "So gorgeous!"

Hancock snorted and made a heart shape with her hands. So beautiful! So beautiful! So beautiful!

The next moment, the four priests turned to stone and froze in place, unable to move.

Enel was stunned. What kind of divine power was this? What kind of Devil Fruit could turn a living person into stone?

So this woman who looks like a pretty face is actually this strong?

"Tsk tsk tsk, Enel, I didn't realize this place was so nice. Aren't you a little reluctant to leave like this?"

Enel: I'm reluctant, but you've already poisoned me, what can I do? Can I stay?

"What are you doing here? I told you, I'll be leaving tomorrow."

Carl put his arm around Hancock and smiled slightly at Enel: "Don't be nervous, I just came to ask you something. You only came to Skypiea in the last few years, right?"

"So what?"

"Hmm, so that means there was a god on Skypiea before you?"

Enel scoffed, "God? That old guy dares to call himself a god?"

He couldn't even beat his own men; he had no idea how this guy could be called a god.

"Is he still alive?"

"Hmph~ Of course, that guy is so weak I could kill him. What, you want to find him?"

Karl nodded: "That's right. After you leave, it will take some time for her people to move over. During this time, I'd like him to help manage the Sky Island."

So you want me to leave tomorrow?

Of course, Enel didn't say these words out loud; he could only think them to himself, after all, his life was still in their hands.

"His name is Ganford. He's currently hiding in a remote spot on the west side of Angel Island, barely scraping by. You'll have to find him yourself!"

Karl stroked his chin and looked at Enel: "Thanks. By the way, I'll be back here tomorrow, if I see you still here..."

"You don't have to worry!"

Carl grinned and patted Hancock's butt. Hancock instantly understood and snapped her fingers lightly, and the petrified priest and others gradually returned to normal.

Hancock and Carl naturally left the shrine to find Ganford; sightseeing could wait.

"God, who were those two people just now...?"

Enel looked coldly at Shura and said, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

"Yes Yes..."

In the sky.

"Look, below is Angel Island, the place where the original inhabitants of the Sky Island live."

Hancock remarked with considerable emotion, "What a dreamlike country! It's practically paradise."

"Haha, this will be our territory from now on. If you like, you can have someone build a special island cloud palace for us."

"Yes! However, I will need to speak with Granny Niu when I get back and hear her advice."

Karl chuckled softly, "Indeed, you are still young and should listen to the advice of the older generation. I still prefer your gentle side; it's not good to always be so domineering."

"No, I only act this way with outsiders. This gentle side of me can only be seen by you."

Carl gasped. How come Hancock is getting better and better?

"Ahem, really? Uh, we're here. This should be it. Oh, there are even pumpkins growing here!"

Carl pointed to a small wooden house in the clouds. Outside the house, there were some pumpkin-like plants and some vegetables that Carl didn't recognize.

After the two landed safely, before they could even walk over, the door of the wooden house opened, and an "old farmer" dressed in cloth clothes with a long white beard came out.

"Is there anything I can do for you two after traveling so far?"

Carl patted the raven's head, signaling it to shrink, then put his arm around Hancock and walked in front of Ganford.

"Let me introduce myself..."

Chapter 157 Holy Light Shell

The next day, early morning.

Carl carefully placed the slender arm hanging from his chest aside, but this still startled Hancock.

"Hmm~ Is it already dawn, darling?"

"Yes! Get up now, you lazybones!"

Hancock pouted and snuggled into Carl's arms forcefully: "Hmph~ I'm not a pig!"

The two cuddled together for a while longer before finally deciding to get up.

I must say, the beds made by Island Cloud are really comfortable, much better than Simmons mattresses.

"Hey, why is this light on? Is there no power?"

Hancock pointed to the seashell on the lamppost, her face full of question marks.

"Haha, the lights on Sky Island aren't powered by electricity. They're powered by... well, I guess this thing is a Sky Island specialty. It stores light and then releases it at night, or something like that."

"Eh!"

Karl suddenly had a bold idea: Holy Light is still light, so maybe the Lamp Shell could temporarily store his Holy Light.

Without hesitation, Karl immediately condensed a ball of golden holy light and attempted to integrate it into the lamp shell.

"Honey, what are you doing?" Hancock leaned over curiously and rested her chin on Carl's arm.

"Shh, don't move, I'm doing an experiment, I'll tell you later."

"Oh..." Hancock had no choice but to put on the cheongsam and start dressing up in front of the mirror, making sure she looked beautiful in front of Karl.

Back to the experiment, it didn't work at first. Karl almost stuffed the Holy Light into the mouth of the lamp beetle, but it still didn't react. Just when Karl was about to give up, he suddenly saw the curtains being pulled open, and his eyes lit up.

"Shu~"

Karl closed the curtains, blocking out the sunlight, and the room immediately became dark, with only Karl's golden holy light shining brightly.

Finally, things have changed.

How to describe it?

If we compare the holy light in Karl's hand to smoke, then the lamp shell is like a vacuum cleaner. The holy light is sucked in strand by strand by the lamp shell until it absorbs all the holy light in Karl's hand, and then there is no more movement.

Carl licked his lower lip and placed the lamp in front of Hancock.

"Honey, it worked?"

Carl shook his head: "I don't know, but we can try. Um, press this." Carl pointed to a protrusion on the lamp that looked like a switch.

Click.

Hancock extended her index finger and gently pressed down with her soft fingertip. The next second, the lamp shell released a dazzling golden light, illuminating the entire room, and Hancock covered her mouth in surprise.

"My dear, this light actually possesses the same power as you! I feel my physique has become a little stronger!"

Karl grinned, without a doubt, because he had also felt it, and knew that the holy light released through the lamp shell was only slightly less effective than the light released by Karl.

It's around 63%, and you should know that even when Karl uses Golden Holy Light, the amplification effect is only 75%.

With enough Light Shells, Karl can create a bunch of "Holy Light Shells" and "Holy Healing Shells".

That's right, the names Karl just came up with are: the one that can strengthen the body is called Holy Light Shell, and the one that can heal injuries is called Holy Healing Shell.

Holy Light Shells, which can enhance combat power, and Holy Healing Shells, which can save lives in critical moments, are guaranteed to sell well. Just like Power Potions and Healing Potions in games, they are definitely hard currency.

Moreover, it's a monopoly business, because only the Holy Light Fruit can create this kind of item.

"Hahaha, Hancock, we're going to be rich!"
