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

"Tch, what a troublesome ability."

"We'll just wait and see. Unless they're only focused on escaping, they'll definitely slip up."

......

"Dad, what happened? Why do we have to come home? Didn't you say you were going to help me report that damn navy officer?"

Sitting on the bear, Roswald said with exasperation, "Didn't you know the Revolutionary Army is here? Those people are all vicious thugs. We'll talk about the complaint later. Come on, let's go home first. Once things settle down, I promise I'll make that navy guy regret it."

"Hehe, umm, I'll listen to your dad."

bang~

Suddenly, the ground in front of the father and son cracked open, and four revolutionary army cadres rushed out of the ground and came to the father and son.

Saint Roswald swallowed hard, looking at the four men with ill intentions, and cried out in fear, "Who, who are you? What do you want?"

"We are the revolutionary army..."

"Revolutionary Army!!!"

Roswald's expression changed, and he immediately shouted, "Help! The revolutionary army has appeared! Kill them quickly!"

Sabo frowned, raised his flaming fist, and slammed it toward Roswald.

bang~

"Ouch~ It's so hot!"

After Roswald was knocked away, flames erupted all over his body, causing him to roll around on the ground in agony. His son was stunned and it took him a while to react.

"Dad! Dad, are you alright?!"

The crow said calmly, "Kill them! We've already declared war on the World Government, haven't we?"

"Yes, that's right. Only when a Celestial Dragon dies will the news spread throughout the sea!"

Sabo nodded slightly, retracted his arm and assumed a punching stance. He then gathered a large amount of flames at the tip of his fist and forcefully swung it forward, releasing the flames he had just gathered in one go, forming a huge, high-temperature flame arm.

"fire punch!"

Charlos's eyes widened before he was engulfed in flames, and Roswald behind him was also caught in the blast. The father and son instantly became acquainted.

Amidst screams and wails, the father and son turned to ashes.

Throughout this process, the bear did not make any move; it simply lay on the ground and quietly watched everything.

"Mr. Big Bear! Mr. Big Bear, can you hear me? Do you remember me? I'm Sabo!"

No matter how much Sabo called out, the bear remained unresponsive.

Mori sighed and patted Sabo on the shoulder: "Forget it, Sabo, the bear won't respond to you. Let's take him back first and let Chief of Staff Dragon take a look!"

Bang! The earth shattered, and nine tall figures descended from the sky, appearing in front of the four and blocking their path.

"You think you can just kill a World Noble and run away? You're seriously underestimating the power of the World Government!"

"Little bugs of the revolutionary army!"

Chapter 316 The Knights of God

Sabo frowned as he looked at the nine men who seemed to have ill intentions. He had expected the Navy to stop them, but they turned out to be people he had never seen before.

"You are..."

"Hehe, no need to ask, the dead don't need to know that much!" After saying that, the leader of the Knights of God threw a punch at Sabo.

Sabo's pupils contracted, and he shouted, "Dragon Claw!"

bang~

The battle is about to break out.

The first attack was merely a probe, and Sabo's gaze immediately turned serious.

If he wasn't mistaken, these people were the Knights of God that Mr. Dragon had mentioned. Each of them possessed strength comparable to a candidate for general, and the one who had just made a move was at least a general-level opponent.

"Morley, Lindbergh, you two take Mr. Bear and go first! Raven, come help!"

"Alright! Sabo, we'll be going now!"

Without any pretense, Morrie and Lindbergh led the bear underground. The rest of the Knights of God wanted to give chase, but were stopped by the crow.

"Natural system?"

The crow did not speak, but its body continued to turn into mist, becoming a pile of coal ash, which condensed into dozens of coal ash giant swords and hurled them at the Knights of God.

On the other side, flames also ignited behind Sabo as he clashed with the leader of the Knights of God.

"Hmph! No wonder you dared to stay behind to cover our retreat, so you're both Logia-types. It seems you're not just little bugs after all!"

Sabo grinned: "Say what you will, Dragon's Breath!!!"

After wrapping his forearms with Armament Haki, Sabo lightly touched the ground with his fists. Then, using a point-blank attack similar to a short-range punch, he instantly punched the ground at high speed, applying powerful force to a single point on the ground. The ground began to crack around Sabo, and finally, this force exploded all at once, like the breath of a dragon, destroying the entire ground and creating a huge smoke and explosion that knocked the rock layers downwards.

Boom boom boom~

The area collapsed instantly, demonstrating the immense power of this attack.

Sabo could have left directly with Raven, but he remembered that Mr. Dragon had said that the Knights of God were the World Government's trump card, and if they could roughly know their strength, the Revolutionary Army could deal with them better.

So he planned to linger for a while to test the strength of the Knights of God. Of course, if the Navy arrived, he would have no choice but to run.

......

"Don't panic, everyone. I guarantee you with the honor of being a naval hero that you will all be safe. Please trust me and trust the Navy."

Karl helplessly comforted the group of terrified representatives from the member states and their families. Fortunately, he was a big name, and everyone still trusted him. After a brief period of panic, they gradually calmed down.

"General Karl, what's the situation outside? Has the Revolutionary Army already reached Mary Geoise?"

Karl waved his hand: "Don't worry, that's absolutely not it. According to the information, the Revolutionary Army came to Mary Geoise this time only to declare war on the World Government. The commotion outside is probably because the World Government is trying to capture these Revolutionary Army cadres."

"As long as everyone stays here, you are safe. Once the navy's support arrives, I believe the revolutionary army will be suppressed soon. Please wait patiently."

Hearing this, everyone present immediately felt relieved. They still trusted the Navy's power; after all, a large part of the reason they were willing to pay protection money was that the Navy could protect their country. The World Government, although it had the CP department, well... let's not talk about that.

brubrubru~

Carl answered the phone: "You've arrived? Where are you?"

"Alright, I'm in the emergency shelter on the southwest side. Bring your people over here!"

As soon as Karl hung up the phone, a king eagerly asked, "Admiral Karl, has naval support arrived?"

Karl nodded: "That's right. Marshal Kuzan has sent Admirals Kizaru and Fujitora, along with five vice admirals, to protect your safety. They will be here soon."

The king breathed a sigh of relief; he was finally free from his anxiety.

Five minutes later, Sarutoshi and Fujitora arrived with five lieutenant generals.

“Such a big thing has happened, yet you still seem quite relaxed, Karsan.”

Karl shrugged: "You've come at the right time, Admiral Kizaru. The Revolutionary Army is in your hands now. They should be fighting the Knights of God right now. Go and help them out, but don't push yourself too hard. I think you understand what I mean."

Call ~

The ape raised his delicate fingers, staring at his fingertips, and said nonchalantly, "Sigh~ What a pity~ I was planning to make a big splash!"

Carl: ......

If Fujitora had said this, Karl might have believed him, but coming from Sarutobi, why did he find it so hard to believe?

"Going all out? I think you just want to make a big splash!"

"I'm glad you're happy, then I'll leave it to you."

The ape pouted its little mouth, and with a flash, disappeared from the spot.

Carl then turned his gaze to Fujitora: "Mr. Issho, I'll leave this to you. Your task is to protect these representatives of the World Government member states. It should be fine, after all, the Revolutionary Army only has four people."

Yi Xiao nodded silently: "Don't worry, young friend Karl, just leave it to this old man."

Carl smiled, patted Fujitora on the shoulder, and walked past him.

"Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel, Lieutenant General Fire Mountain... I'm leaving this to you."

"Don't worry, Karl, if the Revolutionary Army dares to come, I guarantee they won't come back alive!"

Then, Carl went to Shirahoshi's side and comforted her...

10 minute later.

When Carl arrived at the scene of the battle, the ape was picking at its nails nearby, looking idly at home.

Watching Sabo and Raven fighting against the Knights of God, Karl stroked his chin, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The Knights of God are indeed quite something, but we'll have to observe them further to see their true strength.

"Oh, you've come to watch the show too! I thought you were planning to come!"

Carl laughed, "With Fujitora over there, I have nothing to do here. I might as well come and check out the situation here. Tsk, the Revolutionary Army is indeed quite strong! No wonder four people dared to break into Mary Geoise!"

"Four people? Where did four people come from? I only saw the two of them!" the ape said, puzzled.

"Then those two stayed behind to cover the rear, the others must have run away."
