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

The ragged, seemingly insane old woman leaped out of the deep pit and onto the ground, glaring fiercely at Fujitora and Akainu.

"I want you all to die!!!"

As the woman screamed, she suddenly appeared to have lost a significant amount of weight.

Akainu's expression changed; Big Mom was... getting serious!

Although Fujitora couldn't see it, he could clearly sense that the king of the world had gone completely mad.

A powerful aura of Conqueror's Haki filled the air, sending chills down the spines of all the weak creatures on the island.

Karl noticed this as well, and without taking a break, he immediately joined the battle.

"The Spear of Elbaf - Overlord!!!"

Carl launched the first attack, giving Big Mom no chance to charge up.

"Karl, die!!!"

The woman charged forward without fear, roaring as she slapped away Karl's attack; her strength was now vastly different from before.

Has it unleashed its full potential?

Karl dared not be careless and picked up the raven to continue his slashing attacks on the big woman.

Six hours later.

The battered old woman stared in disbelief at the long knife piercing her heart, and slowly knelt down.

"Why? All I wanted was to create a place where everyone could live happily together. Did I do something wrong?"

"Did I do something wrong, Sister...?"

With a thud, the woman's massive body collapsed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. In her final moments, she raised her head, reached out her hand, and grasped at the empty space ahead, her eyes filled with regret, as if she still wanted to stand up again...

Unfortunately, under the combined attack of the three, she was already exhausted and on her last legs. Compared to before the Navy arrived, she had lost at least several tons of weight, which shows how much Karl and the other two had driven Big Mom to.

"Mommy!!" "Mommy!!!"

Despite Homie's fervent cries, the old woman still couldn't stand up. Countless pale souls floated out of her body and flew into the sky; some dissipated directly, while others flew straight to some other place.

With Big Mom's death, all the Homies in Totto Land also ceased to exist. After all, they were all products of Big Mom's power, and with her death, they naturally could not escape their doom.

Looking at the corpse of the old woman in front of him, Akainu sighed softly, "Phew~ This monster has finally fallen."

"Yeah! I never thought that Big Mom could develop the Soul-Soul Fruit to this extent. Tsk tsk tsk~ No wonder she's a pirate from the Rocks era."

On the other side, the naval officers and soldiers, who had long since finished their battle, couldn't help but cheer as they saw the big woman fall, shouting, "Ohhhhhh!"

"Justice will prevail!" "We won! We have defeated the Emperor of the Sea once again!"

"The Navy will prevail!! Justice will prevail!!!"

With a click, Fujitora slowly sheathed his sword and said with a smile, "It was quite a tough battle! But thankfully we won, all thanks to you, Mr. Karl."

Carl waved his hand: "It's all what I should do, no need to say such things. Now that the old lady is dead, we should get someone to clean up the battlefield."

......

Naval Headquarters.

"Bulu Bulu~"

Hearing the Den Den Mushi ring, Kuzan's eyes lit up, and he quickly picked it up: "How's the situation?"

"As expected, the old lady has fallen in battle, and the plan to destroy all nations has been a complete success. Our people are currently cleaning up the battlefield, and we will be back soon."

"That's great! Carl, I knew you could do it. Thank you for your hard work. When you come back, I'll definitely throw you a celebration party!"

"Haha, that's great! I'll hang up now, we'll talk again when we get back!"

After hanging up the phone, Kuzan clenched his fist and grinned broadly.

"Hehe, when this news reaches the high seas, people will be shocked, won't they?"

Cake Island.

"Reporting to General Karl, the World Kingdom region has been cleared and is ready to return at any time."

Carl nodded and looked at Penn beside him: "Major General Penn, prepare to go back!"

"Yes!"

Under Penn's control, the fleet rose into the sky, and Karl stretched out his right hand, which condensed into a dazzling light.

A massive golden beam of light shot towards Cake Island, followed by a deafening explosion.

The entire Whole Cake Island trembled and collapsed under Carl's power.

By the time the dust settled, Whole Cake Island had vanished from the world.

Chapter 311 Prologue to the World Conference

The next day

The news-carrying seagulls spread the message across the ocean; the headline read: "The Fall of Nations - Yet Another Maritime Emperor Has Fallen!!!"

The news report was about the Navy's surprise attack on Whole Cake Island yesterday, which successfully defeated the Big Mom Pirates and killed Charlotte Linlin.

"My God! The Navy has been silent for two years just to wipe out the Big Mom Pirates in one fell swoop?"

"Great! Another Emperor of the Sea has fallen, now only the two Emperors remain. Will Kaido or Shanks be next?"

The entire ocean trembled at the news.

Chambord Islands.

Rayleigh put down his newspaper and sighed deeply: "Lingling has fallen too~ Who will be next?"

Shakky, standing to the side, exhaled a smoke ring and said calmly, "Isn't this normal? The Navy is the true ruler of the seas now. I think pirates will disappear one day. You'd better retire early, otherwise..."

Rayleigh shook his head, wondering to himself, "Is the Great Pirate Era that Roger started... coming to an end?"

New World, Redford.

"Shanks, the Navy's power has expanded to an unprecedented level. Who will be next, Kaido or us?"

Shanks glanced at Beckman and sighed softly: "The Navy has indeed changed a lot over the years, but we can't just sit here and wait to die."

What are the plans there?

Shanks took a deep breath and pointed behind him: "Go to Elbaf and cooperate with the giants."

......

Wano Country, Onigashima.

"Waaaaah~ Lingling! Lingling, how could you, this old woman, die like that?! Waaaaah~"

Upon hearing about Big Mom's past, Kaido burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably. It was clear he was truly heartbroken.

"Coo coo coo~ Damn Navy, that old woman is dead, am I next? Huh?"

Jin, standing to the side, frowned and said, "It shouldn't be that fast. After all, the Navy has been preparing for two whole years to take over Whole Cake Island. Even if they have designs on the Beast Pirates, it's impossible for them to do it so quickly."

Kaido wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and gulped down a jug of sake: "Hey, King's right, we can put the Navy's affairs on hold for now. By the way, how's the search for the remnants of the Kozuki clan going?"

Quinn scratched his head: "Um, boss, we couldn't find it, but there's a rumor circulating in Nine Villages lately..."

"What rumors?"

"The true successor of the Kozuki clan is about to return."

Kaido snorted coldly: "The Kozuki Clan, humph~ They couldn't defeat me twenty years ago, so it's even less likely they can now. What bullshit prophecy, I don't believe it!"

With a gurgling sound, Kaido swallowed the bitter wine and couldn't help but recall the days he spent with Big Mom on Rocks' ship. Tears streamed down his face.

"Waaah, Lingling~ Go ahead and rest assured! I'll take good care of your territory..."

Naval Headquarters.

"Look, General Karl and the others are back!"

"Really? Let me see!"

"That's right, it's them! Quickly broadcast the announcement!"

on the sky.

"Hmph~ Kuzan just loves to do these pointless things." Akainu looked at the scene below, seemingly somewhat displeased, because it was Kuzan who had arranged it.

"Hehehe, Admiral Akainu, this is also the sentiment of Fleet Admiral Kuzan, and the sentiment of all the naval officers. I think it's quite good."

"Humph~"

After a brief victory celebration, the naval officers who participated in the operation to destroy all nations went home. If nothing unexpected happened, the officers below the rank of vice admiral would be promoted one rank, while vice admirals and above would only receive material rewards.

Marshal's Office.

"Sakazuki, Ichisho, you've worked hard, go back and get some rest!"

Sakazuki and Ichiro left side by side, leaving only Kuzan and Karl in the office. To Kuzan, Karl was his confidant and the person he was grooming.

If he were to step down one day, he would only recommend Carl to Steelbone Kong, if Steelbone Kong were still alive at that time...

"Well done this time! Everyone on the high seas is talking about the Navy's operation!" Kuzan said with a smile, looking very happy.
