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

Carl chuckled and patted T. Penn on the shoulder, then turned to look at the Moby Dick in the distance. Why hadn't they started fighting yet? What were Aokiji and the others doing?

Well... okay, they were held up by the outstanding captains like Marco and Jozu.

......

"Kid, this straw hat looks a lot like the one Shanks used to wear..."

"Ah! Uncle, do you know Shanks? He asked me to keep this safe."

Whitebeard couldn't help but recall what Shanks had told him not long ago, and he gave Luffy a deep look.

"Are you here to rescue your brother?"

"That's right!"

"You know who the enemy is, right?! Acting so recklessly could get you killed!!!"

Luffy looked up at Whitebeard and shouted, "Enough with the nonsense! This is none of your business!"

"I know you want to be the Pirate King, right?! I'm the one who's going to be the Pirate King!!!"

Hearing this, Whitebeard laughed instead of getting angry: "Gurararara~ You're really arrogant. If you dare to hold me back, I won't let you off the hook, you snotty brat!"

"Hmph! I'll do what I want! I'll save Ace!!!"

After saying that, Luffy raised his hands high and shouted, "Ace! I'm here!!!"

Ahead of him stood countless enhanced Marines, but Luffy showed no fear and charged straight toward them.

This is destined to be a difficult road.

"No, don't come any closer!!! Dad! Dad, save me..."

呲~

Raven's silvery-white blade pierced the pirate's heart, lifting him up before Karl tossed him aside like trash.

Whitebeard seemed to hear the shout, turned his head to look in Karl's direction, and his pupils suddenly shrank to a single point.

Because Karl was surrounded by the corpses of pirates, including many captains.

Whoosh whoosh~

The ice surface began to tremble, and Whitebeard raised Murakumogiri, charging up a powerful strike towards Karl's direction.

"Ok?"

Just as Karl was about to go find his next target, he noticed the movement behind him. He instantly covered himself with Armament Haki and raised Raven to block the devastating blow.

Click~~~

The ice shattered.

"Lieutenant General Carl!!!"

The surrounding navy rushed over, including T. Penn, who jumped into the ice without hesitation, seemingly to rescue Carl.

Because Karl is an ability user, if he falls into the sea...

puff~

T. Penn was led onto the ice by Carl, looking completely bewildered.

"Lieutenant General Karl, what's wrong?"

Carl wiped the seawater off his face, ignored T. Penn, and looked straight in the direction of Whitebeard.

"He's killed quite a few of his sons; he seems desperate!"

呲味味~

A dazzling golden light emanated from Karl's body, radiating astonishing heat, instantly vaporizing the surrounding navy.

"The Spear of Elbaf - Overlord!!!"

shuh~

An astonishing flying slash flew straight towards the Moby Dick, injuring any pirates or marines in its path. If anyone happened to be in the path of the Overlord's sword energy, well, they would all die without a burial place.

Although Karl did not want to harm friendly forces, he would never hesitate to act timidly just because the navy was in front of him.

"What an amazing flying slash! This brat is just too..."

Whitebeard's fist emitted a white light, and then he punched towards the Overlord Sword Qi.

Click click click~ Bang~

With a deafening roar, the Overlord Sword Qi unleashed its final power, blasting a terrifying hole in the Moby Dick.

It didn't work? Okay.

"This old guy is really tough to deal with!"

shuh~

Karl vanished from his spot in an instant, leaving only a golden afterimage.

The next second, Karl appeared in front of Whitebeard and slashed at Whitebeard's neck with his sword.

"Trying to kill me? Not so easy! Air Tremor!"

Kakakka~

Karl's pupils contracted, and his figure flashed again, dodging Whitebeard's attack with his extreme mobility.

"You're really troublesome, Whitebeard. But even if you are, you're going to die today."

"Gurrah~ How dare you boast like that! My head is right here, come and take it if you dare!"

Huhu~

Karl twirled his sword, and Raven pointed it directly at Whitebeard: "Don't worry, I'll be right there!"

On the other side, seeing Karl attack Whitebeard, Sengoku quickly picked up a Den Den Mushi: "Akainu, Aokiji, what are you doing? Karl is already fighting Whitebeard! Come and support him! Kill Whitebeard as soon as possible!"

"understand!"

"Kizaru, you don't need to worry about Whitebeard. Just stay at the execution platform."

......

After an hour and a half of fighting, the situation was becoming increasingly favorable for the navy.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are fighting against prisoners who escaped from Impel Down, such as Ivankov, Crocodile, and Jinbe.

Sakazuki, Kuzan, and Karl took turns wearing down Whitebeard's stamina.

The other marines were responsible for dealing with the rest of the Whitebeard Pirates.

However, a few minutes later, Sentomaru's reinforcements arrived—a dozen or so Pacifistas, attacking from both sides, enough to give the Whitebeard Pirates a run for their money.

The Whitebeard Pirates' goal was clear: to storm the execution platform and rescue Ace, just like Luffy.

But the Navy's goal was not simply to execute Ace, otherwise he would have been dead long ago.

The Navy has only one goal: to completely annihilate the Whitebeard Pirates.

Moreover, we are already very close to this goal. Once Whitebeard dies, the rest of the troops will be scattered and can be easily dealt with.

On the execution platform, Sengoku gazed resolutely at the entire battlefield, silently thinking, "No matter how you struggle, you cannot shake our advantage."

"Prepare to interrupt the live broadcast! Once the broadcast is interrupted, immediately activate the encirclement barrier, then, together with Ace's execution, wipe out all the enemies in one fell swoop!"

"As ordered!"

Soon, the naval footage went cold.

However....

"Hey, sorry to have kept you waiting..."

The first major streamer in the One Piece world has officially debuted.

Chapter 279: The Execution Begins

"Hey, sorry to have kept you waiting..."

The first major streamer in the One Piece world has officially debuted.

"Reporting to Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the live stream has been cut off, but... a group of pirates who escaped from Impel Down have somehow started the live stream again, led by Buggy the Clown."

Sengoku frowned, quickly picked up his binoculars, looked at Bucky laughing wildly with his hands on his hips in the distance, and snorted coldly.

"Another man connected to Roger, humph! I'll have him dealt with. You all, activate the encirclement barrier now!"

Once the encirclement wall is raised, the pirates in Crescent Bay will be trapped like turtles in a jar, and it will only be a matter of time before they are wiped out.

Click!Click!Click!

The encirclement wall rose section by section, completely cutting off the Whitebeard Pirates' retreat. However, Oars Jr.'s corpse blocked the encirclement wall in front of the execution platform, his massive body completely blocking it.

"Hey, what's going on? Quickly raise the perimeter wall!"

"That's because the surrounding walls couldn't support Oz's massive body. It's probably because his blood seeped into the machine, causing a drop in power!"

Sengoku narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "There's really no other way! Let's begin, Akainu!"
