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

Nami pouted and didn't say anything more. Robin suddenly burst into laughter, and Karl couldn't help but look at Robin.

"What's wrong? Is something funny?"

Robin covered her mouth and shook her head: "It feels a little strange that a naval hero like you could say something like that."

"Hahaha, I hope you'll still be laughing when I personally set out to arrest you."

The Red-Haired Pirates have a lot to say on this point.

Hancock waved her hand: "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. How about we go explore some other places? There are many places worth visiting in the Kingdom of Women!"

"Ok!"

......

Angel Island.

"Wow, how amazing! These seashells have so many functions?"

Connie laughed and said, "Yes! These are shellfish unique to Sky Island, and each one has its own unique function. These are just the most common household shellfish!"

Usopp's eyes lit up: "Home-use type? Are there special types too?"

"Of course, there are also aggressive shellfish such as impact shellfish, ram shellfish, and sword shellfish. However, these shells are controlled items on Sky Island, and we civilians are generally not allowed to possess them."

"Oh, I see." *Coo coo coo~*

Luffy clutched his stomach and looked towards the kitchen: "Hey, Sanji, I'm hungry, isn't the food ready yet?"

"Stop yelling, it'll be ready soon. Oh, what a pity! Miss Nami and Miss Robin won't be able to taste my Sky Island special cuisine, but it'll be a treat for you bunch of bastards."

"Sigh, stop talking. I really want to go to the Kingdom of Women! Forbidden Land, it sounds so interesting."

Usopp quickly covered Luffy's mouth.

"Hey, didn't we agree not to talk about this? Someone's going to die!"

Chapter 257 Speeding up the pace

in the afternoon.

"Robin, Nami, it's getting late. I'll take you to Angel Island!"

Nami nodded: "Yes, thank you, Mr. Karl."

"Thank you for your help, Carl."

Carl waved his hand: "Stop talking, come on up!"

......

After returning to Angel Island.

"Nami-san, Robin-san, you're finally back! I... I missed you so much!!!"

bang~

Sanji has a big bump on his head; it seems he still doesn't understand the true value of the strongest Armament Haki.

"So, how was it? Was the Kingdom of Women fun? Tell us about it!"

Nami laughed, "Let me tell you, the Kingdom of Women is truly paradise! Gold is everywhere..."

Nami described the Amazon Lily in glowing terms, making Luffy and Sanji incredibly envious. Unfortunately, they were men and would never have the chance to visit Amazon Lily in their lifetime.

"Sigh, stop talking, stop talking. We can't go even if we do, and it'll only cause more trouble. Hey, Conis, besides the Kingdom of Women, what other fun places are there on the Sky Island?"

Connie smiled slightly: "Of course! I can take you sightseeing tomorrow, but everyone should rest well today!"

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you!"

......

After three days of playing and having fun, it was almost time to leave.

Carrying a wealth of gifts, the Straw Hat crew left Skypiea and continued their journey toward the New World. At this time, apart from Karl, no one could have imagined that this triumphant pirate crew would not arrive in the New World for another two years.

At this point, Carl also bid farewell to Hancock and prepared to cause trouble for Shanks.

I just received news yesterday that the Red-Haired Pirates are searching for Whitebeard's Moby Dick. Only the three admirals and Karl can take on this kind of mission, and Garp could too.

Unfortunately, the ocean is vast, and the Whitebeard Pirates' whereabouts have been elusive lately. Even Karl couldn't find the Whitebeard Pirates immediately, let alone the Red-Haired Pirates.

Shanks' whereabouts are even more elusive. He likes to hold parties on some nameless island whenever he wants to, otherwise Karl wouldn't have only encountered Shanks five or six times in all these years.

With no other option, after searching for several days without finding anyone, Karl had no choice but to return home and report to Sengoku at the Navy Headquarters to deflect blame.

However, Water Seven is unusually lively at this time. No, a few days ago it was Water Seven, but now it's Enies Lobby.

Judiciary Island, Judiciary Tower.

Wearing a genuine leather mask, Spandam pulled Robin up the steps one by one, complaining incessantly, "Get out of here! What's going on?! How did pirates manage to infiltrate this place?"

After venting his anger, Spandam pulled a golden Den Den Mushi from his pocket, pressed the button, and said, "CP9, what are you doing?! A pirate has infiltrated this place! Did you hear me?! Hello!!!"

"At least give me a reply!"

However, Spandam may have forgotten that what he took out was not a Den Den Mushi for communication, but a Golden Den Den Mushi for activating the Buster Call, which was given to him by Aokiji.

Robin quickly realized something was wrong. Upon seeing the Den Den Mushi's appearance, his pupils instantly shrank to a single point, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Wait, what's that in your hand?"

Spandam looked at the Den Den Mushi in his palm with a puzzled expression, then his eyes widened in surprise: "Aaaaaah!"

"Yellow, yellow, yellow! Golden Den Den Mushi!!!"

Naval Headquarters.

v! v! v!

"Silver Den Den Mushi received the signal, activate the Buster Call!" Admiral Aokiji ordered the activation of the Buster Call!

Where should we attack?

"It's Judicial Island!"

"Immediately contact the five lieutenant generals near the destination!"

"However, it would be faster to send troops from headquarters at this distance."

"Where's the time?"

"It will take 30 minutes if it's quick."

"Immediately prepare ten warships for attack, and summon five lieutenant generals. Go now!"

"Yes!"

......

Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.

Sengoku, who was chatting with Karl, suddenly received a phone call. His expression turned grim, and after hanging up, he looked at Karl.

"what happened?"

Sengoku took a deep breath and said, "I just received news that Kuzan has launched a Buster Call, with Enies Lobby as the destination. Five vice admirals have already gone there."

Carl frowned. Enies Lobby, so fast?

Wait a minute, things are different now than before. Even though the anime has been airing for several years, Luffy actually only spent less than two months from setting sail to arriving at Sabaody Archipelago.

"so what?"

"The World Government wants you to participate in and lead this Buster Call."

Karl chuckled and shook his head: "Forget it, I don't want to go. I just want to rest now."

Sengoku didn't say much and let Karl leave.

......

Judicial Island.

Spandam frantically pulled out a real Den Den Mushi.

"Hey!"

"Yes, sir! Please speak!"

"Damn it, this is terrible! This is supposed to be a regular Den Den Mushi! How could I have been so careless! I had to press the Golden Den Den Mushi and activate the Buster Call!"

Little did they know, the Enies Lobby's broadcast system was broadcasting Spandam's mutterings in real time, and everyone on Enies Lobby knew that the Buster Call was coming!

"What have you done! Undo it right now!"

Luffy recognized Robin's voice and breathed a sigh of relief. Robin was still alive, that was good.

"Things are really bad now!"

"What? You want me to cancel? Hey, who do you think you're talking to?"

"Hahaha, so what if the Buster Call was activated? Isn't that great? I'm the commander of CP9. I activated the Buster Call to safely hand you over to the government. Even if something goes wrong, we can still wipe out the pirates."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I've already said it's not that simple. The Buster Call attack doesn't contain any human emotions at all. It will burn everything on Enies Lobby to ashes—food, people, even the entire island—to achieve its goal."
