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

Click~

A thunderclap resounded in the sky, and Karl's expression changed. He immediately swung his sword at Enel's head.

Enel grinned, bright red blood flowing down the corner of his mouth, making him look quite ferocious.

Boom~

Enel unleashed a terrifying voltage, instantly repelling Karl. Then, lightning descended from the sky, engulfing Enel.

Zizzi~

Bathed in lightning, Enel's body continued to grow larger, as if he were wearing layer upon layer of lightning armor.

Karl wasn't going to wait for Enel to charge up his ultimate attack; he immediately unleashed two powerful sword energies at Enel.

"Two hundred million volts? Thor!!!"

Chapter 167 Enel, Dead

Boom~

Enel suddenly vanished before Karl's eyes, and the next second he stood in the air, his lightning cloak enveloping him layer by layer, transforming him into a towering "Giant of Lightning".

However, this Thor has a bit of a beer belly and isn't very handsome; he looks rather clumsy.

"Hahaha, Karl, you think you've got me cornered? Today is your death day!"

"Crack! Crack!!"

The Thunder Giant clenched his fist, and countless bolts of lightning gathered in his palm, forming a massive bolt of lightning. With a loud bang, the Thunder God hurled the lightning, his target Karl on the ground.

"Little tricks."

Karl stomped the ground to dodge Enel's attack, and the lightning burst forth with intense energy the moment it touched the ground.

Dirt flew everywhere, lightning flashed, and the earth trembled continuously.

A crater nearly 20 meters in diameter suddenly appeared on the ground, its interior charred black and emitting an indescribable acrid smell.

"Hahaha, did you see that? This is the power of God!!!"

After speaking, Thor stretched out his strong arms and slammed them against the thunder drum behind him, producing two muffled thuds.

"One Hundred Million Volts Thunder Dragon!!"

The taiko drums unleashed countless bolts of lightning, which intertwined to form thunder dragons that roared and charged toward Karl, their range so vast that they were almost impossible to avoid.

Unless Karl can teleport several kilometers in an instant, there is absolutely no way to avoid the Thunder Dragon's lock-on.

But why run away?

With the blessing of the Holy Light, Karl's physique is almost at the SSS level, which is the top level in the sea, and is no less than Kaido's.

This attack is nothing!

However, Karl was still cautious. To prevent a mishap, he used Armament Haki. Armament Haki not only had to be hardened but also released externally, otherwise his clothes might be electrocuted by Enel.

As the Thunder Dragon lunged at him with its mouth wide open, Karl, wielding Thunderstorm in one hand and Raven in the other, softly uttered, "Dual-wielding style: Severing Gold and Jade."

swoosh~

Two flying slashes, one horizontal and one vertical, shot out and instantly split the Thunder Dragon into four. Unfortunately, the Thunder Dragon had no physical form, so even being cut into four pieces did not affect its movements at all.

Even if we're going to smash it, we have to smash it on Karl.

With no other option, Karl had to adopt a defensive stance, allowing the lightning to engulf him.

Enel, who was in the air, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. No one could survive a hundred million volts.

dong dong dong~

One after another, thunder dragons crashed onto the long chain island, blasting the ground almost bare, and turning all sorts of strange creatures on the island into charred remains... except for Karl.

"Whoo~"

Carl planted Thunderstorm in the ground and looked at Enel in the sky, blue and white electricity constantly surging from his body.

This attack had some effect on Karl, but not much; it was barely a tickle.

Next, it was his turn.

If Enel had just run away, he really wouldn't have been able to do anything about him. But unfortunately, this guy got carried away, or rather, Carl somehow gave him a sense of confidence, making him think that Carl was nothing special.

bang~

Karl vanished from his spot in an instant, and when he looked again, he was already in mid-air, soaring upwards in a way that would make Newton weep, and soon appeared in front of Enel's Thor armor.

"What? How could you be completely unharmed?"

Karl smiled faintly: "One-Sword Style: Momentary Brilliance".

A dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from Karl's body, and even the sky darkened for a moment, because the sunlight was far less dazzling than the holy light.

Enel, who had been observing Karl, couldn't help but close his eyes, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

Sure enough, the next second, a sharp pain shot through my abdomen.

"Ahhhhh~"

Enel let out a scream as he was slashed away, detached from the Thor armor. Seeing this, Karl immediately pressed his advantage, appearing above Enel using Moonwalk.

"Six Styles Secret Technique - Fire Drop!" Karl raised his right foot high, then brought it down like a battle axe. Because of the speed and the rapid friction with the air, it burst into scorching flames!

With a muffled thud, the size 40+ leather shoe slammed solidly into Enel's chest.

Enel immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and then his body plummeted to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

In less than half a minute, the situation reversed.

It can only be said that Enel still didn't understand the gap between himself and Karl, or perhaps the ease with which Mary Geoise was destroyed gave him a strange sense of confidence, making him feel that the Navy was nothing special.

Karl is nothing special.

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is harsh. Even though Enel is an "invincible" user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, the difference in physique and Haki is like an insurmountable chasm, keeping him at the foot of the mountain and only able to look up in awe.

While still in the air, Karl looked at the devastated Long Chain Island and shook his head. A small island is just a small island; it's too fragile.

bang~

Karl landed on the ground and looked down at Enel, whose body was covered in bloodstains and whose eyes were closed peacefully, like a sleeping baby.

Yes, he's not dead yet, he still has a breath left.

Carl waved the raven gently, making a series of whooshing sounds as it cut through the air: "This time, it really is goodbye forever."

呲~

Raven's sharp blade pierced Enel's heart. At that moment, Enel suddenly opened his eyes, looking at Karl with resentment, and tremblingly extended his right arm, pointing at Karl.

A flash of lightning appeared at his fingertips, then gradually began to dissipate...

He stopped breathing, his arms went limp, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Enel is dead.

Karl chuckled, recalled his raven, plopped down next to Enel, and said casually, "What a pity. I originally wanted you to live a little longer."

"But you've disappointed me too much... However, it's better that you're dead, it'll end it all. On the bright side, your death might make me a general, so wouldn't your death have been more meaningful?"

They even whipped the corpse after killing someone.

"Bulu Bulu~"

"Hey, Marshal Sengoku, what's up?"

Sengoku's voice was anxious: "This attack on Mary Geoise was too heinous. The World Government has given us a death order to capture Enel, the criminal who destroyed Mary Geoise, within a month."

"Don't try to slack off with me, kid. Get moving! If you can catch him yourself, your promotion to general is practically guaranteed!"

Carl covered the Den Den Mushi and glanced strangely at Enel beside him. What a strange thing to do today! How could his words become law?

"Ahem, Marshal of the Warring States, is this really true?"

"Do you think I'm joking? This time, more than thirty world nobles, 145 world government officials, and countless slaves have died. This is the worst incident since the establishment of the world government."

"Whoever can capture Enel will be the next Marine hero!!!"

Chapter 168 Such a great achievement?

Holy crap! A naval hero?

What makes a naval hero? Just look at Garp.

Now, countless new recruits have joined the Navy because of Garp, the Navy hero. His reputation in the Navy is at its peak, and even the Celestial Dragons have to give him some respect.

Admiral Karl wasn't particularly interested, since becoming an admiral meant losing freedom of movement. In order to slack off more easily, Karl didn't really want to become an admiral.

But naval heroes are different. Even if they remain vice admirals their entire lives, their status is still far superior to that of other vice admirals. Admirals cannot boss them around, and they might even be able to call Kizaru "saku" to his face one day.

"Marshal Sengoku, I understand. I will do my best. By the way, do you have any information on Enel?"

Sengoku chuckled softly: "Otherwise, why would I call you first? According to Tsuru's analysis, Enel is a user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Once he appears, he will definitely be accompanied by a deafening thunderclap."

"I just received news that there have been unusual thunderclaps in the Long Chain Island area. Enel is very likely here. You'd better go and check it out. If you can catch him, great. If not, we'll see."
