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

"That's none of my business. Right now, your Revolutionary Army is the exclusive agent. I don't care how much you sell it for, you just need to pay me 50 Berries."

"Even if we sell 100 million or 1000 million, will it still be the same?"

Carl nodded: "That's right, as long as you can sell them."

"Hiss~" Dorag was startled. Good heavens, this really is a way to make money!

Once we put this thing up at the auction, the market will naturally open up, and we can basically make money while lying down!

The thought that the revolutionary army would soon have no shortage of funds filled Doraga with excitement.

Comrade Karl truly has the revolutionary army in his heart!

So he's still bound by his identity as a naval officer? Well, he's about to become a naval hero, and given his status, staying in the navy is more useful than staying in the revolutionary army.

"Great! By the way, how do we calculate this Saint Healing Coin?"

Karl held up five fingers again, and Dorag said "Oh," indicating that it was the same price, so he didn't say anything.

Seeing that Dragon remained silent, Karl reminded him, "Ahem, Dragon, the price of the Holy Relic is... 500 million Berries."

Dragon's eyes widened: "500 million Berries? How come it's suddenly so much more expensive?"

Phew~ Seeing Dragon's naive expression, Carlton felt much better.

"It's normal for things that can save lives to be a bit more expensive."

After saying that, Karl snapped his fingers, and the raven perched on his shoulder instantly transformed into a sword, landing steadily in Karl's palm.

"Dorag, if you want to try the effects of the Holy Healing Shell, you might have to bleed a little. You shouldn't mind, right?"

Dragon frowned, staring at Karl, then smiled and said, "Of course I don't mind. I've heard you're a swordsman on par with the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye. I'd love to learn from you today."

Then, Dorag extended his left arm and slowly closed his eyes.

Karl took a deep breath. He truly was a leader, and then...

shuh~

A golden light flashed, and the tip of the blade grazed Dorag's arm, leaving a bloody gash about one centimeter long. For Dorag, it should only be a minor injury.

"Give it a try, Dragon."

Dragon opened his eyes, looked at the wound on his left arm, and laughed heartily, "Precise control, worthy of a great swordsman." After saying that, Dragon pressed the protrusion on the Holy Healing Shell.

The white halo surrounding the Holy Healer continued to expand, enveloping Dorrag within it, with strands of white holy light seeping into the wound on Dorrag's arm.

In just a few breaths, the wound healed completely, leaving no trace of the injury. Moreover, there was still plenty of white holy light left, so it gave Dorag a full-body spa treatment, and so...

The slipper mark on Dorrag's face... cough cough, the tattoo is completely gone.

"What power of expression!" Dragon marveled as he stroked the injured area on his arm, completely unaware that the tattoo on his face was gone.

This Saint Yube really is a life-saving thing. Selling it for 500 million isn't expensive at all. It's a life-saving item. He would even think 1000 million Berries is too low.

Once the Holy Light Shell and Holy Healing Shell appear on the market, Dorrag can already imagine the frenzy that will ensue.

Moreover, with this thing, doctors on the high seas might be out of a job!

While marveling at this, Dragon suddenly asked, "Did Lord Karl create all of these using his own abilities?"

Carl nodded. His abilities were no secret on the high seas, so it wasn't surprising that Dragon could guess them.

"That's right, it was indeed created by my abilities."

Dragon exclaimed, "If that's the case, don't you need to supply the Navy? The Navy might need even more of this stuff, right?"

Carl waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about that."

In fact, Karl had long been prepared to supply the Navy, but he could not let the Navy get something for nothing. He had to get some benefits from the World Government, just like the Seastone business. The World Government has always cooperated with Kaido!

"I brought 1000 Holy Light Shells and 100 Holy Healing Shells with me this time. I'm giving them all to you."

With a wave of his hand, Karl conjured a large pile of Holy Light Shells and a small pile of Holy Healing Shells on the ground.

Dragon was taken aback. "I didn't blink either! How did this happen?"

“This…” “My ability.”

"Oh..."

Looking at the "gold mine" in front of him, Dorrag looked troubled. He had no money with him, and even if he had, who would have thought that these seashells would be so expensive?

"Don't worry, I trust Lord Dragon's character. Just take it and sell it! Pay me back when you've sold it."

Dragon's face lit up with joy: "That's wonderful, thank you so much!"

The two chatted for a while longer, and then an unremarkable-looking boat approached the shore.

Dragon glanced at it, then said to Karl, "Lord Karl, the ship that was supposed to pick me up has arrived. Farewell."

"Well, take care."

Then, with a wave of his hand, a strong gust of wind blew, carrying the Holy Light Shells and Holy Healing Shells on the ground to the ship. Dragon also rode away on the wind, as if deliberately showing off in front of Karl.

Karl smiled faintly, waved his hand, and watched as Dragon's ship disappeared into the sea.

With the business concluded, it was time to relax and have some fun with some weaker opponents. Karl turned his gaze to the distant smoke rising from the chimneys.

Yixin Dojo, behind the mountain.

Zoro in his classic skin is training under a waterfall, the powerful water constantly pounding against his back, but it cannot shake him in the slightest.

Suddenly, Zoro moved, crossing his swords in both hands and unleashing a slash that seemed to trap his enemy.

"Three Swordsman Style: Ghost Slayer!"

shuh~

Three flashes of light appeared, and the waterfall seemed to be stopped, but it quickly resumed its flow, pushing the unsteady Zoro into the water.

"Damn it!"

Zoro scrambled ashore in a disheveled state, hands on his hips, panting as he looked up at the sky.

"It's getting late, time to go back for dinner..."

"Young man, are you a swordsman too?"

Chapter 180 Roronoa Zoro

Upon hearing the sound, Zoro immediately looked towards the direction of the woods, his pupils instantly shrinking to a single point.

He recognized that face all too well!

Although Karl had many titles, Zoro only remembered one: the Great Swordsman of the Navy.

Several years ago, he fought the world's greatest swordsman on Shipwreck Island in Water Seven, in the first half of the Grand Line. On that occasion, he injured Hawkeye.

From that moment on, Zoro kept this man in his heart, and Karl became his imagined enemy.

As time went by, Karl's fame grew, and he became renowned throughout the seas for his superb swordsmanship, defeating countless pirates and becoming a true master swordsman.

Especially the knife in his hand.

Needless to say, the black sword Shusui, which was originally a Great Grade Sword, was already registered in the Great Grade Sword Encyclopedia.

The key is the raven and thunderstorm in his hand.

Thunderstorm, a demon sword, originally had no rank, but because of Karl, it was directly listed in the Famous Swords Encyclopedia, becoming the most famous demon sword besides the Onikiri series.

The Devil Fruit weapon, Raven, is based on the first generation of the Supreme Grade Swords, Kitetsu. Because Karl frequently used it, its fame skyrocketed, and it was promoted to the ranks of Supreme Grade Swords.

"You, you're the Navy's Great Swordsman, Karl!!!"

Wearing a black suit and carrying a cloak of justice, Karl slowly walked out of the woods and smiled at the soaking wet Zoro: "You know me?"

Zoro grinned: "Of course I know you! You're one of the men I'm destined to defeat!"

After saying that, Zoro's expression changed. Oh no, he only brought his training sword today and forgot his Wado Ichimonji. How could he challenge Karl like this?

"Oh? You think you can defeat me after practicing swordsmanship for a few years?"

Upon hearing this, Zoro shouted at Karl with great momentum, "How will you know if you don't try?"

But soon, Zoro's imposing aura vanished without a trace, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "Um, I didn't bring my sword. Why don't you wait here for me for a while, and I'll go back and get it!"

A strange look appeared in Karl's eyes. Had he heard correctly?

Zoro is actually going back to get his sword and then coming back to find him? Isn't he afraid of getting lost?

But probably not, right? This place isn't that big, and Zoro has been here for quite a while, so this short distance shouldn't be enough to... get lost.

"Young man, aiming too high is not a good thing. If you want to challenge me..."

Karl instantly drew his Raven, swung it backhand, and unleashed a massive golden flying slash that swept backward.

Swish swish swish~

Countless trees were snapped in half, and with a deafening roar, the trees fell, instantly opening up a wider view.

"Come back to me when you can reach that level!"

"Right now... you should just give up!"

Zoro stared blankly at the forest that Karl had cleared, and couldn't help but swallow hard. This power, this swordsmanship, wasn't this exactly what he had been pursuing?
