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

"Where is Cobra's body? I promised someone I'd see him alive or dead, can't you do me a favor?"

Seeing Karl, who was completely different from before, Im's lips twitched. He forcibly suppressed the urge to hit him and said irritably, "Go find the Five Elders!"

"Oh, thank you! You're such a nice person!"

Im took a deep breath, inexplicably feeling an urge to complain.

But seeing Karl actually leave, I felt a sense of loss.

For 800 years, she has always looked down on all living beings with an absolute attitude, and Karl is the first person to communicate with her on an equal footing.

Im slowly removed his hood, revealing a stunningly beautiful face: "You were right about one thing, Karl, we are the same kind of people..."

......

One day later, Alabasta.

"I'm sorry, Weiwei, I can only bring back your father's body. Please accept my condolences."

Looking at Cobra's pale body, Vivi's eyes turned red, and she covered her mouth, sobbing softly.

Karl couldn't stand seeing others cry, so he patted Vivi on the shoulder and said, "Be strong! From now on, you'll have to walk your own path. I have things to do..."

"Thank you, Mr. Carl!"

Vivi hugged Carl tightly around the waist to express her gratitude.

“Vivi, you’ve grown up so much…” Karl exclaimed sincerely, patting Vivi’s head.

Vivi didn't speak, but buried her face in Karl's chest and wept. Karl sighed and pulled a piece of paper from his pocket: "Vivi, if you want to avenge Lord Cobra, you can call this number. Perhaps it can help you."

Carl pushed Vivi aside and placed the piece of paper with his phone number on it in her palm.

"This is..."

"Just call them and you'll find out. I'm leaving!"

With a whoosh, Karl vanished in a flash of light, swift and clean.

Vivi opened her eyes wide and looked at the piece of paper Karl had left behind. Besides the number, there was only one word on it: Dragon.

......

Marineford, Marshal's office.

"Are you sure you don't need me to send someone with you?"

Carl waved his hand: "No need, no need. I'm just going over there to check things out. Bringing people would be inconvenient. Drake will be there to meet me."

Just kidding, he has ulterior motives for going to Wano Country this time. How could he possibly bring the Navy with him? If he were to bring them, he would do so when he takes over Wano Country.

Kuzan smiled wryly and said, "Alright then, take care and contact me anytime if you need anything."

Karl waved his hand: "Don't worry, if Kaido is defeated, I will immediately notify the Navy to take over Wano Country."

Thus, Carl embarked on his journey to Wano Country alone.

Looking out at the azure sea at Crescent Bay, Karl murmured to the raven beside him, "I wonder how things are in Wano Country now?"

"Gah?"

Wano Country, Onigashima.

"Orororo~ Although you've learned Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, you haven't fully mastered it yet. Gum-Gum, what's the next line again?" Kaido looked at Luffy falling from Onigashima, his words filled with disdain.

Although Luffy was able to grow so quickly, he was still the ultimate victor.

With a splash, Luffy fell into the sea. As a Devil Fruit user, his chances of survival are slim.

Kaido couldn't help but sigh, "As expected, you still can't become Joy Boy!"

brubrubru~

"Lord Kaido, I have found Momonosuke's location."

"I got it. I'm coming right now to kill this kid. Oh, and by the way, Straw Hat Luffy has been defeated by me. Protector, spread the word throughout the island and let those damn samurai know who the real victor is! Oh ho ho ho~ Their morale will definitely collapse after they hear this news!"

......

"Urgent notice, urgent notice! Straw Hat Luffy and the Nine Red Scabbards have all been defeated! Lord Kaido has won the final victory! Surrender now, and Lord Kaido will forgive and forget, and allow you to become members of the Beasts Pirates."

"Urgent Notice..."

Upon hearing this news, Chopper, who was fighting Queen, was momentarily distracted and was bitten by Queen.

Franky looked somewhat surprised; Marco paused for a moment; Jinbe ignored him and continued fighting Who's Foz.

At this moment, Kaido had already transformed into a blue dragon and broken free from the dome. No one was there to disturb or hold him back anymore. This overwhelming force, the strongest fighter, officially joined the Night Banquet on Onigashima.

the other side.

Kanjuro looked at Momonosuke, Shinobu, and the others in the room, a wicked smile appearing on his lips. He had finally found them.

Unfortunately, because there happened to be a toad here when the Emperor (Kaido's secretary) notified the whole island, Shinobu and the others realized that Momonosuke's location had been exposed. Fortunately, Kin'emon and Kiku found the two of them first.

"What's wrong with the young master?" Kin'emon asked worriedly, looking at Momonosuke who was clutching his head and groaning in pain.

Shinobu shook her head: "I don't know, it just happened suddenly."

But there was no other way; Momonosuke was their "father," and they had no time to care about anything else but Momonosuke.

"Oden" appeared at the exit in the ceiling.

Shinobu was immediately stunned, and the next second, tears welled up in her eyes: "Lord Oden? Is it...is it you?"

"Father?! That's wonderful, you're still alive!" Momonosuke opened his eyes and looked at "Oden" with great joy.

"Oden" grinned and said, "Momoko, everyone, it's been a long time."

However, Kiku had already seen through everything. What "Oden"? That was clearly Kanjuro's disguise. Kanjuro actually took advantage of their feelings for Oden again. It was simply unforgivable!

"We've seen through your trick!"

"Oden" smiled slightly: "Can you really do that? You and Izo were raised by my own hands!"

These words finally made Kiku hesitate. In a moment of distraction, "Oden" had already pierced Kiku's chest with a single stroke, sending him to meet the valiant Kozuki Oden.

Everyone else was stunned. At this moment, Xiaoju was filled with regret and tears were streaming down his face, but he really... couldn't bring himself to attack Lord Oden, even though he knew that the person in front of him was a fake.

"Hahaha, you're still stupid, Kiku..." Kanjuro simply tore off his disguise and ruthlessly humiliated his former comrade.

Kin'emon rushed over and caught Kiku: "Kiku, you'll be alright!"

"I'm sorry, Kin'emon, now that even the remaining blood is gradually melting away, shouldn't dawn be approaching?"

Tears welled up in Kin'emon's eyes, blurring his vision: "Yes, yes, dawn is coming soon!"

Kanjuro saw that the opportunity was good and raised his sword again to slash at Kin'emon's neck, but Kin'emon was already on guard!

shuh~

With a backhand slash, he killed Kanjuro, but he felt no joy. Why had things come to this?

On his deathbed, Kanjuro also spoke his last words...

Boom boom boom~

The ceiling was blasted open by brute force, and dust billowed up. A massive figure, as large as a small mountain, stood in the room.

Momonosuke was so scared he peed his pants. Before he traveled through time, he had met Kaido in the same way.

This moment is just like that moment.

Chapter 326 Kozuki Momonosuke

Despite his injuries, Kin'emon immediately reacted and roared, "Shinobu, quickly take Momo and leave! I'll hold Kaido off!"

Kaido lowered his eyes, glanced at Kin'emon indifferently, and then unleashed a Thunder Bagua strike. The massive club covered Kin'emon's upper body, sending him flying.

Did Kin'emon die? If it were an ordinary person, they probably would be dead, but who is Kin'emon? He is one of the loyal followers of the great man Kozuki Oden. It seems that he sensed Kozuki Oden's encouragement and held on to his last breath, managing not to die.

Tsk tsk~ As expected of a fine man, Kozuki Oden. Not to mention Kaito, even the Soul Emperor would gasp and marvel at how terrifying this kid is.

"Kin'emon!!!" Momonosuke cried out, his voice echoing through the sky, as he leaned on Shinobu's shoulder.

At this moment, Onigashima has finally reached the mainland of Wano Country, which means that the place where Straw Hat Luffy fell is not far from the coastline. If nothing unexpected happens, the kid will most likely be washed ashore by the waves.

On Onigashima, upon learning that Luffy had crashed into the sea and that the Nine Red Scabbards had been defeated, the samurai's morale plummeted. After all, their leader was dead, so how could these lowly bastards possibly turn the tide?

Meanwhile, the Beasts Pirates were in high spirits, exclaiming that Kaido and Sama were too strong!

On the first floor of the ghost town, the roof beams were broken and smoke filled the air. Kaido stood proudly on the ground, with Kikunojo and Kanjuro lying on the ground.

Kin'emon's sword broke after being hit by Kaido's blow and could not be raised again, but upon hearing Momonosuke's cries, the leader of the Red Scabbards still trembled as he raised the broken sword in his hand and stabbed Kaido's foot.

"Um?!"

Kaido was slightly surprised. Was this guy's body made of iron? How could he still move? Who's the Mythical Zoan, me or him?

But as Kaido watched Shinobu and Momonosuke's figures gradually disappear into the distance, his gaze turned cold. Now was not the time to think about these things; he needed to kill Oden's son first.

shuh~

Kaido casually picked up a long sword and pierced Kin'emon's body. In the end, Kaido held back, only piercing Kin'emon's waist. If it had been Karl, it would have definitely pierced his heart.

On the other side, carrying the last wishes of the samurai, Momonosuke holds the royalist toad, which, despite revealing their whereabouts, has now become a key tool for them to convey information to their allies.
