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

Nami squinted. Because of the fog, she couldn't see very clearly, and the scene was quite noisy, so she couldn't hear very clearly either, but she could definitely hear someone walking towards her.

"Who is that? But that voice sounds familiar..."

Under the watchful eyes of the Straw Hat crew, Carl walked over with Hancock and Ain on his arms.

"What, don't you recognize me?"

Chapter 340 The Straw Hat Crew's Shock

"Who would recognize me wearing sunglasses!" "Exactly!"

Hancock and Ian smiled and reached out to remove Carl's sunglasses.

"Mr. Carl!" "It's you!"

Nami and Chopper exclaimed in surprise, while others such as Jinbe, Zoro, and Usopp stared wide-eyed in astonishment. They never expected to see Karl here. Are the Marines all so free?

Ding ding dong~

Sanji was stunned when he saw the two stunningly beautiful women beside Karl, and didn't even notice that the kitchen knife in his hand had fallen to the ground.

Especially when Sanji saw Hancock and Ain gently taking off Karl's sunglasses, he had to admit he was jealous.

Carl, you fucking deserve to die!

"This place is not bad! We can chat, and there's even a cook."

Ain nodded, took off her sunglasses, and waved to Nami: "Little Nami, long time no see, you've gotten more and more beautiful!"

"Sister Ain!!!" Nami's face lit up with joy as she excitedly ran to Ain and had a clash of the Will of D.

Karl and Sanji were both stunned.

"Nami, do you still remember me?"

"Of course, Sister Hancock, I still have the gift you gave me! Look!"

The women were catching up, and Karl didn't want to get involved, so he walked over to Sanji and unceremoniously picked up a drink and started drinking.

"Your skills have improved, Sanji!"

Sanji said irritably, "I don't need you to tell me. Besides, what are you doing here as a Marine Admiral instead of catching pirates?"

Karl scratched his head: "I was thinking you guys were pirates, weren't you?"

Those present were immediately taken aback. They had been through a lot of battles recently and really just wanted to come here to relax!

"Hahahaha, look how nervous you all are. You're supposed to be a pirate crew at the level of the Emperors of the Sea, yet you're still so afraid of the Marines? If other pirates see this, your reputation will plummet!"

Upon hearing that Karl wasn't there to cause trouble, Jinbe immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Karl was the benefactor of Fishman Island, and he really didn't want to go against Karl. More importantly, he simply couldn't beat him.

With nearly a decade of undefeated record since his debut, he is a naval hero, a title earned through sheer boasting.

"Hey, Karl, you're not a fan of Uta too, are you? Otherwise, why would you come to the concert?" Luffy asked while eating a large piece of meat.

Carl shrugged and pointed to the group of women chatting happily: "Hancock is pregnant, so I brought her out for a walk. I was free too, so I came out to join the fun. I just didn't expect to run into you guys here."

Luffy said "Oh" and then focused on eating, but the others were all petrified as if they had been hit by Hancock's sweet and sour wind.

"You're pregnant? Really?"

"What?! So fast?"

On the other side, Nami covered her mouth in surprise: "Really? Hancock, you, you're pregnant?"

Hancock subconsciously touched her lower abdomen: "Yes, I got pregnant two weeks ago."

Looking at Hancock's unchanging belly, Robin was somewhat lost in thought. Was Carl about to become a father?

Time really flies!

Little did anyone know, in a deserted corner, Sanji lay limp on the ground, as if his soul had been ripped out.

"I'm...I'm pregnant..."

She's the most beautiful woman in the world! The dream girl of so many men!

Not only is she taken, but she's also pregnant... yet he's still a virgin!

"Hey, you dead cook, are you alright?" Zoro asked with concern when he saw Sanji fall to the ground.

Sanji replied weakly, "No, it's nothing..."

Wait, isn't the green algae-headed guy a virgin too?

Ah, that's okay.

Suddenly, the surroundings went dark.

"Is the concert about to start?" "Hey everyone, come look! Princess Uta is coming out!"

On the stage ahead, the lights emitted a cool, pale blue glow, and melodious singing filled the air.

"The new era is this future, the entirety of the world, let's change everything... let's change everything..."

After a long, drawn-out syllable, the style abruptly changes: "Anything that's in the way, anything that's annoying, just disappear! Transform along with this world..."

Uta makes his official debut.

She was wearing an oversized coat and shorts, revealing her smooth, fair, long legs. She looked rather youthful, or rather, quite young.

Watching Uta sing and dance, Karl couldn't help but exclaim, "This is a songstress!"

Hancock: I feel like there's something off about that.

"Her singing is really good!"

Karl's lips curled up slightly. It was more than just good; it was all emotion, no technique involved. The lyrics were simply her heartfelt expression.

It seems this concert is destined to have an eventful ending.

“Wow, honey, look, is this all real?” Hancock was referring to the dazzling special effects that appeared during Uta’s performance.

Karl shook his head: "No, these are mostly her abilities. She is a Sing-Sing Fruit user, and she has developed them to a considerable degree."

Ain looked around, somewhat troubled, and said, "There are a lot of civilians here, as well as pirates and such. If she wants to do something, it will be very troublesome for the Navy to intervene, unless..."

"Let's wait and see! It would be best if nothing happens."

On stage, the warm-up song also ended with the curtain falling.

"This is the new era!"

A deafening roar of cheers erupted throughout the venue, soaring into the sky as people chanted Uta's name, expressing their excitement and affection.

"Hello everyone! We finally meet! I'm Uta!"

"Uta!" "Uta!" "Uta!"

Looking at the enthusiastic fans, Uta said excitedly, "Everyone, have a great time today!"

"Hey! Luffy, what are you doing?"

Karl turned his head and saw Luffy stretching out his arm to grab the building above and swinging towards Uta.

"What is this silly boy doing?"

"I don't know, maybe Straw Hat Boy knows Uta?"

Luffy stepped onto the stage, his eyes widening as he looked at the stage for a second before excitedly shouting, "It really is you! Uta!"

"It's me, it's me!" Luffy raised his head, tilted his face up, and revealed a happy smile.

Looking at that familiar straw hat and familiar face, dead memories began to attack her mind.

"Could it be... Luffy! Is it really you, Luffy?!"

Uta happily opened her arms and hugged Luffy tightly: "Luffy~"

The audience was stunned. They never expected their idol to "collapse" so soon after his debut.

Chopper, standing behind him, covered his face in disbelief: "What?!"

Robin asked curiously, "It seems Luffy knows Uta!"

Sanji angrily rebuked, "That little idiot Luffy, he knows Uta but didn't introduce her to me!"

“How hateful!”

Chapter 341 Naive Foolishness

Usopp yelled in frustration, "Why would someone like you know Princess Uta?!"

duang~

Chopper pounced on Usopp: "Yeah! How do you know him?"

Luffy grinned: "So what? She's Shanks' daughter!"

......

After a brief silence, a wave of shock immediately swept through the entire venue.

This includes the pirates who were about to rush up and kidnap Uta to sell for money.
