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

Gion rested for a while and found that she seemed to be completely fine!

"Could this be Karl's...holy light? This healing power is amazing!"

Gion looked gratefully in Karl's direction, gave him a smile, and then energetically joined the melee between the Vice Admiral and Kaido.

Despite being attacked from both sides by two admiral candidates and two vice admirals, Kaido remained unfazed. He didn't even bother to dodge their attacks, simply taking them head-on. The fight went on for nearly an hour, and Kaido showed no signs of faltering.

Gion and the others were exhausted, and their holy light was gradually depleted. But surprisingly, like Kaido, they had no injuries.

This puzzled Kaido. He was indeed a Mythical Zoan, but were these Marines also Mythical Zoan? Their recovery speed was almost as fast as his, which was just ridiculous.

"Kizaru, Aokiji, it's your turn!"

The two figures flashed and forcefully took over the battle, finally rousing Kaido's spirits and prompting him to fight with all his might.

"Phew~ Kaido is really troublesome, his defense is too strong!"

"If it weren't for Karl's holy light, I'm afraid I would have been injured long ago. Thank you, Karl." The mole politely thanked Karl, who waved his hand, indicating that it was no trouble at all.

Gion walked up to Karl, a smile on her face, her breath sweet as orchids: "Thank you, little Karl. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been injured!"

Huoshaoshan and Jiaji also expressed their gratitude repeatedly, and the scene seemed to have turned into a praise group.

"I never expected your ability to be so powerful." Staff Officer Tsuru looked at Karl with increasing affection. With such an ability, how could the Navy not prosper?

Faced with numerous praises, Karl simply smiled and nodded, avoiding any unnecessary comments. Compared to these, he was more concerned about the battle between the Admirals and Kaido.

Watching games is also a great way to learn, and more importantly, you don't have to do anything.

"Damn Kizaru! Thunder Bagua!"

Kaido suddenly unleashed a powerful aura, which he then wrapped around the iron rod, gripped with both hands, and struck Kizaru at incredible speed.

Kizaru sensed something was wrong and quickly transformed into a photon to escape. If he were to take a solid hit, his small frame would likely be seriously injured.

"This aura..." Feeling the powerful pressure emanating from all around, Karl clenched his fists and stared intently at Kaido.

"This is Conqueror's Haki, which only one in millions can possess. To withstand such power without fainting, you have already surprised me greatly."

Hearing Advisor Crane's explanation, Karl couldn't help but feel a longing. Was this the spirit of a king? One day, he would also possess this spirit.

That's right, Carl is going to be the king of slacking off!

If Karl were to look at his attribute panel at this moment, he would find that his Willpower attribute is rising wildly, directly from C- to B+, instantly becoming his outstanding attribute.

On the battlefield, Aokiji stared intently at Kaido and stretched out his right arm behind him. Freezing air gathered and eventually formed a giant ice bird, which rushed toward Kaido at an extremely fast speed.

"Ice Block 'Pheasant Beak'"

Everywhere it went, it was frozen soil.

Kaido, who was being led around by Kizaru, turned his head and saw that his pupils had instantly shrunk to a black dot. He quickly raised his arm, which was covered in dragon scale tattoos, to shield himself.

The ice bird flew a hundred meters with Kaido on its back before exploding with a bang, turning into countless ice crystals that refracted a rainbow of light.

Kaido, who took the hit from Aokiji, had half of his body frozen, his lips turned black, and his teeth chattered uncontrollably.

Taking advantage of the moment, Kizaru teleported above Kaido's head, pouting, "Yasakani no Magatama!"

Countless light projectiles hurtled towards the immobile Kaido, exploding upon contact with him in wave after wave. Even from a great distance, Karl could feel the ground trembling.

"Hmm~ Why is there no sound?"

As the smoke and dust cleared, Kaido's enormous body lay quietly in the pit, motionless.

"Kaido, we're old rivals! Playing dead is an outdated trick!"

Kaido, who was lying down, let out a "roarroar" laugh and slowly got up.

"That was exhilarating! Now that's what a battle is all about! Let's do it again!!!"

Chapter 36 Kaido’s Attention

Kizaru scratched his head helplessly: "What a monster!"

However, for Kizaru, it's just a bit troublesome; he can simply fly a kite and that's it. Kaido's mobility isn't very strong, so he can only stand there and take hits. It's just that he doesn't like to use Armament Haki for defense!

Aokiji quickly arrived and unleashed a barrage of attacks on Kaido, eventually breaking into the G-2 branch.

"That's enough, you guys go and fight Kaido!"

The four lieutenant generals nodded, looking at Karl with expectant expressions, which confused Karl. "You're not going to send me, are you? That's impossible!"

Wait a minute, Karl slapped his forehead, almost forgetting that their holy light was almost depleted and they needed to replenish their buffs.

May the Holy Light bless you!

It may be a bit monotonous, but it's simple and straightforward, and a single charge provides an hour of battery life.

After receiving the blessing of the Holy Light, the four vice admirals were greatly encouraged and charged towards Kaido together.

At this moment, Aokiji and Kizaru also returned one after another. They seemed to be in good condition, barely out of breath. After all, this was the effect they wanted in a tag-team battle.

"Phew, this guy is getting harder and harder to beat!" Aokiji complained helplessly.

Staff Officer Tsuru nodded seriously: "Aokiji, how long do you think it will take to defeat Kaido?"

"Well, it should take about three days! But with Major Karl around, it should only take two days."

Staff Officer He rubbed his temples and smiled at Karl: "Major Karl, can you hold out for two days?"

"Don't worry, two days will be more than enough!"

As long as they provide food, even if they obliterate the entire Great Road, Karl can still keep providing support.

On the battlefield.

"It's you guys again! Where are Aokiji and Kizaru? Have they given up?"

"Shut up, pirate!" the flying squirrel roared, gripping its greatsword with both hands and thrusting it toward Kaido's waist.

Kaido sneered, thinking that if he could swat these annoying flies, Aokiji and Kizaru would have no choice but to come out!

So, the instant the flying squirrel charged, Kaido raised his spiked club high and swung it powerfully at the flying squirrel. A columnar "club energy" accurately struck the flying squirrel, which couldn't dodge in time, and instantly sent it flying.

"Pfft~"

The flying squirrel coughed up blood, severely injured, and lay on the ground, its life hanging in the balance. The holy light within its body was instantly depleted, and the energy was concentrated on healing the flying squirrel's injuries.

This is the characteristic of Holy Light: when there is no injury, it focuses on strengthening the body, but once the host is injured, it will prioritize healing the host.

But this is the full-force attack of the new world's overlord, and this amount of holy light is far from enough.

Karl's gaze sharpened as he sensed the disappearance of the holy light within the flying squirrel: "This is bad. Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel is seriously injured. If he doesn't receive immediate treatment, his life may be in danger."

"Um, didn't you use Holy Light on the flying squirrel?"

Carl said with a wry smile, "It was precisely because it was used that Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel was only seriously injured."

Staff Officer Tsuru jumped up: "Aokiji, Kizaru, you two cover Major Karl and hold off Kaido so he doesn't interfere with Karl's healing of the flying squirrel."

Aokiji and Kizaru exchanged a glance and joined the battle, working together with the vice admirals to hold off Kaido.

"Karl, your chance has come! I'm counting on you for the flying squirrel!"

"Ok!"

Karl's expression was somewhat serious, after all, he was about to face one of the three great overlords of the New World, Kaido of the Beasts, a character who could knock his head out with a single blow.

Moon step!

Karl walked on air and arrived beside the flying squirrel, where a fierce battle was taking place not far away.

"Karl, is the flying squirrel alright?" Gion withdrew from the battle and came to Karl's side to temporarily act as his guard.

"It's not a big problem."

Karl took a deep breath and placed his hand on the flying squirrel's sunken ribs. Holy Light continuously flowed into the flying squirrel's body, quickly healing its injuries.

The flying squirrel's face gradually turned from pale to rosy, and its broken ribs healed as a result.

Three minutes later, the flying squirrel opened its eyes, spat out a mouthful of blood, and its breathing gradually returned to its peak.

"Thank you, Carl! I almost died!" The flying squirrel looked at Carl gratefully and thanked him repeatedly.

Carl waved his hand dismissively: "Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel, you're too kind. It's what I should do. Besides, do you think Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel would abandon me if I were in danger?"

The flying squirrel immediately grabbed Karl's hand and said seriously, "Of course. From today onwards, you are my brother. If you ever need anything, just come to me. I will go through fire and water for you."

What is social etiquette?

"Brother Momonga, you're so kind. Are you still in a good condition to fight? Why don't you rest for a while? Just leave it to Gion-nee and the others."

Gion nodded repeatedly: "Yes, flying squirrel, leave it to us!"

The flying squirrel looked seriously at Kaido beside him: "Running away when you're injured isn't my style. You get up from where you fell!"

"Karl, be careful, Lieutenant General Gion, let's go!"

Are you teaching me how to do things? Then Carl made a clean and efficient escape.

Are you kidding me? What kind of monsters are these? Weevil, Kaido, none of them look like normal people! If they were all like Smoker, Karl would definitely unleash a devastating attack!

On the other side, seeing the mole join the battle unharmed, Kaido looked like he'd seen a ghost.

He looked half-dead just now, how did he recover so quickly?
