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

"Dear Father, hello!" (Sky Island dialect)

Luffy didn't understand anything except the name, but Nami's eyes lit up: "Conis, what's that thing your father is sitting on? It looks really fun."

"Ah! That's a Wi-Fi device." "Wow, that thing looks so cool!"

On the sea of ​​clouds, Connie's father shouted, "Excuse me, I'm sorry for being rude, I have to stop!"

But for some reason, Wiba accelerated forward uncontrollably.

"Aaaaaah! Connie, save me!"

At that moment, a golden light flashed.

"Uncle, are you okay?"

Pagya rubbed his head, and after recognizing the person who had saved him, he quickly took a few steps back and bowed respectfully.

"I'm very sorry, Lord Karl."

Carl waved his hand: "It's okay, just be more careful next time."

"Father, are you alright? Ah, Lord Karl, what are you doing here?"

Karl pinched Connie's cheek: "Haha, I heard some pirates broke in, so I came to check. And you, you've grown so much in just a few years! You've gotten even more beautiful!"

Feeling Karl's affectionate gestures, Connie's face turned bright red, and steam practically rose from her head.

"Lord Karl~"

Carl chuckled, patted Connie on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Just kidding. I know those guys over there. I'll go talk to them."

Connie's expression changed, and she immediately said, "The Caldas, although they are pirates, I feel that they should be good people."

"Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion."

the other side.

Robin's lips curled up slightly. This guy really did come. He didn't expect to meet him so soon.

Click~

Zoro gripped his sword, looking at the tall figure in the distance with a complicated expression. He let out a long sigh; now was not the time.

Although he felt he had become much stronger, it was still far from enough.

"Hey, it's you again. What are you doing here?" Luffy called out to Karl in a carefree manner.

Karl slowly walked towards Luffy, saying as he went, "What are you saying? This is my fiancée's territory. Isn't it normal for me to be here?"

"My fiancée!!!" *N

Robin took a few steps forward, looking at Carl in disbelief: "What engagement? How come there was no news at all?"

Karl scratched his head: "Well, it's not really appropriate to let people know because my fiancée is a pirate."

Robin quickly picked up on the key words, and after a brief moment of thought, blurted out: "You're my fiancée, the most beautiful woman in the world, Boa Hancock?"

“Yes, that’s right.” Karl nodded.

Sanji, who was eavesdropping nearby, exclaimed: "What?! The Pirate Empress is already taken!!! And it's this guy!!"

"No! No no! No no~~~"

Sanji, like a salted fish that has lost its dreams, knelt on the ground in despair; even the pessimistic spirits couldn't help him at this moment.

"Huh? The Pirate Empress? Who's that?"

Conis walked over and explained, "It's Lady Boa Hancock, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. She is also the ruler of Skypiea and the Empress of Amazon Lily."

"Let's not talk about that. By the way, how did you end up here? Did you come here on the Sky-Piercing Current?"

Luffy nodded happily: "That's right, it's very exciting!"

"I have to say, you guys are really lucky. The chances of surviving by riding the Flying Ocean Current are less than 10%. You guys are really fortunate!"

"But since you're here, let me tell you about the rules here."

Carl pointed to the Kingdom of Women in the distance: "That's the forbidden Kingdom of Women on Sky Island. No one may enter without permission. If you trespass, Hancock will kill you all without hesitation."

"Nami and Robin are alright, after all, they are women. Once a man enters the Amazon Lily, no matter what his reason is, he will suffer a terrible fate."

Usopp nodded thoughtfully, then realized something was amiss and quickly asked, "What about you? Aren't you a man too? You can't go to the Land of Women either?"

"Hahaha, I'm probably the only man in the world who can freely enter and leave the Women's Kingdom, because the Queen of the Women's Kingdom is my fiancée. What, do you have a problem with that?"

Usopp shook his head, "No, no."

"Alright, that's about it. Angel Island has its own rules, Conis will tell you about them. Robin, let me take you to Amazon Lily! There are things there that might interest you. Hmm... Nami, do you want to come?"

Nami hesitated for a moment, looked at her companions, then at Karl, but in the end, her gossipy desire to see Karl's fiancée prevailed.

"I'm going!"

After saying that, Nami turned to Luffy, Zoro, and the others and said, "Robin and I are going to Amazon Lily. You bunch of rats, don't come back and cause me a lot of trouble again! Do you hear me?"

Luffy picked his nose: "No problem."

Upon hearing that Nami was going to Amazon Lily, Sanji, who was lying on the ground, began to frantically pupa, and soon pupa reached Nami.

"Nami-san, please, take me with you! I don't want to stay with that idiot with the green hair!"

Zoro was immediately displeased, drew his sword and pointed it at Sanji: "You lecherous kappa, don't think I don't know what you're thinking! Stop dreaming, someone like you will never have a chance to go to Amazon Lily in this lifetime."

"Who are you calling a perverted kappa!?"

......

Carl shook his head and turned to Connie, saying, "I'm leaving these people in your care. Don't let them do anything out of line. If there are any problems, contact Ganford directly."

"Yes, Lord Karl, I know. You can go in peace."

"That's good, Raven!"

"Gah!"

Carl jumped onto the raven's back and called out to Nami and Robin, "Get on!"

"Ok!"

Robin immediately used the power of the Flower Flower Fruit to bring Nami onto the raven's back.

"We won't fall, will we?" Nami seemed a little worried.

Carl smiled faintly, said nothing more, and the raven took off.

After Carl left, Usopp said, somewhat speechless, "They just abandoned us and went off with other people?"

Zoro shrugged: "What can we do? Anyway, Karl won't hurt them. After all, he's a Marine."

"That's the crux of the matter! It's so strange that a Marine can coexist peacefully with pirates."

It's no wonder Usopp felt this way, because other Marines always attacked them indiscriminately.

Especially that white smoke Smoker, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was relentlessly pursuing them.

Chapter 255 The Three Women Meet

daughter country.

Upon seeing the magnificent golden statue, Nami was so shocked that she couldn't speak, and her eyes turned into the symbol of Beli.

No wonder Nami turned out this way; she's just terrified of being poor!

Before joining the Straw Hat Pirates, she had saved up a lot of money through part-time jobs, making her quite wealthy. However, after joining the Straw Hat crew, Nami realized that money was needed for everything, especially for Luffy, Zoro, and the others.

Each of them could eat more and spend more money than the last, but their ability to make money was far inferior, which made her life very difficult at one point.

How can anyone resist seeing this giant statue made of gold?

"These are statues of the three Boa sisters. They look very big, but actually only the outer layer is gold. The one in the middle is Hancock."

Robin carefully examined Hancock in the middle and said calmly, "You have good taste. She is indeed a good woman."

"Mr. Carl, is this the Golden City?"

Karl nodded: "That's right, this is Shandora, the legendary land of gold."

"However, most of the gold was used to rebuild Amazon Lily. Now you can only see about two-tenths of the original gold. But there are many gold mines on the island, but Hancock is too lazy to mine them."

Nami gasped in shock. Good heavens, it's true what they say, some are dying of thirst while others are drowning in floods!

They were dirt poor, and others had already taken the gold right next to them, so they were too lazy to mine it.

"Oh, we've arrived."

The raven slowly descended, and hidden in the white clouds was a golden city, the Kingdom of Women.

"Golden walls, golden streets, gold... there's just too much gold here!!!"

"Furthermore, is it really appropriate to use gold as a building material?"

Karl shrugged. "Who cares? Gold's everywhere here anyway."

Upon reaching the entrance, two female warriors approached, their eyes cautiously fixed on Nami and Robin behind Karl.

"Lord Karl, welcome back. And these two are..."
