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

Following Sengoku, they arrived at a makeshift ward where several doctors were providing emergency treatment, but the results were... so-so. Several Celestial Dragons had already been covered with white sheets.

"This is Lieutenant General White Raven. His abilities include healing, and I think he should be able to help."

The Celestial Dragons standing to the side lit up, and one of them arrogantly shouted at Karl, "Hey, you White Raven, I order you to save my son right now, or you can forget about wearing this uniform!!!"

"That's right, hurry up and use your abilities."

Hehehe~ Karl clenched his fist. He had long heard that the Celestial Dragons were all arrogant and disdainful of others, but he never expected them to be so disgusting.

Is this how you beg for help?

Karl turned to leave, but Sengoku stopped him in time and whispered, "Karl, don't be impulsive. I know you can't stand the Celestial Dragons, but... if you can save a few World Nobles this time, I might be able to talk about expanding the number of Admirals."

"Is this true?"

Sengoku silently nodded, pointing with a crooked mouth at the Celestial Dragon lying down.

Karl took a deep breath, looked around, and thought, "Very well, five heavily injured Celestial Dragons. In that case..."

Karl slowly stretched out his hand, condensing a ball of white holy light the size of an egg. Even so, he still had to painstakingly divide it into five parts, so the healing effect was predictable.

However, things still took an unexpected turn. These Celestial Dragons were just ordinary people, their bodies weaker than chickens. Even a little bit of holy light could instantly improve their condition.

Damn, that was a miscalculation.

Several heavily injured Celestial Dragons slowly opened their eyes, sat up, and looked around in disbelief, unable to believe that they were still alive.

"Thank goodness, son, are you alright?"

"Waaaaah, Daddy, my body hurts so much."

.......

Karl looked at his Celestial Dragon son, who was crying and sniffling, and couldn't help but curl his lip. He was older than Karl, but his IQ was about the same as an eight-year-old child. Even Murphy was smarter than this thing.

This is the consequence of consanguineous marriage!

“Since the nobles have recovered, we will not disturb them any longer. Karl, let’s go.”

"Wait a moment!"

"What is it, Saint Chalmar?"

Charmaco glanced at Karl indifferently, walked over arrogantly, and said, "Your name is Karl, right? You saved my son, and I am very grateful. I will report your merit to the Five Elders and let them reward you."

"Of course, I will also give you a great gift as a way of repaying you."

After saying this, Chalmarco turned and left, as if it were just a trivial matter. A reward? To him, it was nothing more than a handout.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and thank Saint Charmaco!"

Carl smiled faintly: "Thank you."

They then left the makeshift hospital with Sengoku. Once outside, reporters who had heard the commotion immediately surrounded Sengoku and Karl.

"Marshal Sengoku, what are your thoughts on the attack on Mary Geoise?"

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who is the perpetrator of the attack on Mary Geoise? Does the Navy have any leads? Or is the Navy simply incapable of finding the criminals?"

Zhan Guo's expression changed, and he instantly felt a chill run down his spine. These reporters' noses were even more sensitive than dogs'!

Chapter 166 Long Chain Island

If things go wrong, retreat immediately.

This is Carl's motto in life. He's not very good at dealing with reporters, since these guys always blurt things out without thinking.

Having served in the navy for so many years, he has never voluntarily given an interview.

"Marshal of the Warring States, your silence means you agree?"

Carl pursed his lips, covered his face, and fled.

The waters near Changlian Island.

"Captain, look! What's that in the sky? It looks like a person!"

"How could that be? Are you hallucinating?"

Upon hearing this, Enel in the sky revealed a disdainful smile, raised his right hand, and gathered dazzling lightning.

"Divine retribution!!!"

A massive pillar of lightning descended from the sky, striking the pirate ship on the sea and instantly shattering it into pieces. Lightning crackled across the surface of the sea, which was littered with debris.

"Hmph~ This is what pirates are like? They're far too weak, yahahaha."

In his self-satisfaction, Enel suddenly slapped his thigh in annoyance. He had almost forgotten that he was supposed to steal a pirate ship, but he had gone too far.

"Never mind, there will be a ship coming eventually, just be careful."

Upon returning to Long Chain Island, Enel's expression changed, for he saw the last person he wanted to see—Karl.

Enel's face immediately darkened, and he said in an icy tone, "You asked me to destroy Mary Geoise, and I did it. Now, it's your turn to fulfill your promise, isn't it?"

"Hehe, well done. I didn't expect you to actually complete the mission and get away unscathed. It seems I underestimated you!"

Karl pretended to reach into his pocket, but actually took out a blue, translucent candy from his system space. To make it look realistic, Karl even added a buff to the candy.

"Here, this is the antidote. Take it, and your poison will be neutralized."

swoosh~

Enel caught it precisely, examined it for a moment, then looked at Karl, popped the candy into his mouth, and thought, "Hmm, it's a little sweet. After eating it, my body feels warm. It must be the antidote."

"Now that we're even, you can go back to Sky Island and get rid of that Ark Maxim as soon as possible. It's best not to appear in Qinghai anytime soon."

Enel revealed a carefree smile: "Skypiea is no longer of my interest. I think the Blue Sea is quite good, and I have no intention of leaving for the time being."

"Besides, hiding is not my style. I am not afraid of the Navy or anything else!"

Karl let out a long sigh of relief: "Fine, whatever you want, but I still suggest you go to the second half of the Grand Line - the New World. You won't make a name for yourself here."

"Oh? Is that a saying?"

Karl shrugged: "This is the first half of the Grand Line, also known as Paradise. The sea rulers are all in the New World. You're not planning to develop here, are you? No way, no way?"

Hearing Karl's sarcastic remarks, Enel's face darkened: "Of course, I am a god, a man destined to look down on all living beings, how could I possibly stay in Paradise?"

"Once I get a ship, I'll head to the New World!"

Get a boat? That would require going to Sabaody Archipelago and Fishman Island, which would increase his workload even more. No, I have to speed things up for Enel so he can go directly to the New World and compete.

Karl smiled faintly, slowly drew his sword, and without even looking, slashed backward. A huge black flying slash swept across, and several of Enel's priests, unable to dodge in time, were split in two.

"What are you doing!!!"

Enel flew into a rage, raised his hand, and unleashed a bolt of lightning at Karl, which crackled and popped.

"Armed Iron Block".

Carl's defense and confidence instantly surged!

The lightning struck Karl directly, like a drop of water merging into the ocean, causing no ripples whatsoever.

Enel stared wide-eyed in disbelief. How could this be? You've made me lose face! At least take a step back with your sword and make a show of it!

Carl casually patted off non-existent dust from his clothes and said with a grin, "Since you helped me with something, I won't hold it against you."

"As for why these people were killed, the reason is simple: they were too weak."

"I could kill a hundred or two hundred of them with a single strike. Now that they're no longer holding you back, you can head straight to the new world, right?"

Enni roared with a ferocious expression, "You killed them so that I could go to the new world? Heh, if that's the case, then I'll do the opposite!"

bang~

Karl's Conqueror's Haki erupted instantly, and a suffocating sense of oppression immediately enveloped Enel. Enel's body stiffened instantly. Now!

Whoosh! Bang!

Karl flashed forward, creating a loud bang and a surging shockwave. The next moment, he appeared in front of Enel, his dark hand instantly gripping Enel's throat, looking at him with a half-smile.

"You have no right to act tough in front of me now, understand?"

“I’m telling you to go to the new world, so go. If you don’t go, then never go again.”

"Understand?"

Enel, struggling to breathe, had bloodshot eyes and bulging veins, but his gaze conveyed an unyielding spirit. Although he said nothing, it was as if he had said everything.

呲~

Thunderstorm was drawn and plunged straight into Enel's abdomen, piercing through his body. Blood gushed out, and the blade of Thunderstorm grew even more crimson, for it hadn't tasted blood in a long time...

With a whoosh, Karl drew his Thunderstorm sword, released Enel, and Enel stumbled and knelt before Karl.

Karl shook his head at Enel's venomous gaze. This guy couldn't be allowed to live.

Since that's the case, let's use him to gain credit!

I originally planned to let him go off on his own for a while, so that the Navy and the World Government would understand how troublesome this guy was. Then I would capture Enel, and the achievement would probably be no less than killing Whitebeard alone.

After all, this guy was a criminal who destroyed Mary Geoise and killed Celestial Dragons. No matter how powerful the Four Emperors are, none of them have ever killed a Celestial Dragon. Enel killed them, and not just one.

"Enel, disobedient fools don't deserve to live in this world. So, farewell..."
