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

New World, Thousand Sunny.

"Nami, when are we going to get to the next island?! I'm so bored!" Luffy said listlessly.

"We'll be there soon. It's getting late, we'll arrive tomorrow morning."

"Yay!" Luffy immediately regained his energy.

Watching Luffy leave in such a hurry, Nami couldn't help but shake her head. He's become the Pirate King, yet he's still like a child. Really.

"Miss Nami, are you tired? This is a dessert I've prepared especially for you. Please accept my lovingly prepared meal!"

"Thank you, Sanji-san." Nami automatically ignored the second half of Sanji's sentence.

Sanji grinned and turned to find Robin. Seeing that Robin's expression was a little unusual, Sanji couldn't help but ask, "Miss Robin, are you in a bad mood?"

Robin forced a smile: "It's nothing."

Sanji immediately channeled his inner Goat and asked with concern, "Robin-chan, are you feeling unwell? Why don't you let Chopper take a look at you?"

"No, no need. I just need some peace and quiet. Thank you for your concern, Sanji."

Sanji chuckled and scratched his head: "Oh, Robin, if you feel unwell or if there's anything you want to eat, be sure to tell me in advance!"

Robin smiled and nodded. After Sanji left, she took out a Vivre Card from her pocket and muttered to herself.

"It's getting closer and closer..."

Chapter 362 Grandfather and grandson

Robin sighed as she watched the Vivre Card move continuously in her palm.

This is Carl's life card, and Carl himself handed it to her.

There's only one possibility in this situation: Carl is getting closer and closer to the Thousand Sunny.

Before arriving at Laugh Tale, she wouldn't have thought too much about it, but now that they have successfully arrived at Laugh Tale, and Luffy has become the Pirate King.

Just when the newspaper headlines were all about them, Carl suddenly showed up at their door. What was his attitude?

Robin dared not think about it further, because she knew that the Navy would never sit idly by as before.

But she hesitated whether to tell everyone that if things were really as she thought, then no matter how they tried to escape, they couldn't escape, so it was better to end things sooner rather than later.

"Sigh, I hope I'm just overthinking it..."

The following day, Dieterre Island.

"Ah, finally we can resupply with some food. But the atmosphere on this island seems a bit strange!" Sanji looked at the deserted town and scratched his head.

“Indeed, it’s very strange. There are obvious signs of life here, but it’s as if the residents suddenly moved away…” Zoro picked up the half-eaten radish that had fallen to the ground, his expression grave.

Luffy, oblivious to the world, said, "Isn't that a good thing? Otherwise, it would be like the last island."

"Who are you!!!"

Those present tensed up and turned to look towards the port: "Is that Franky's voice? Oh no, is someone attacking?"

The Thousand Sunny.

Looking calmly at the tall Franky, Penn said, "I am Vice Admiral Penn. As for the purpose of my visit..."

Peng En slowly squatted down and gently touched the lawn of the Thousand Sunny with his right hand.

Franky decisively pointed his weapon at Penn with his right hand and shouted, "What did you do to the Thousand Sunny?"

Peng En did not answer, but nodded slightly to Franky and flew directly into the sky.

Franky frowned. The arrival of the Navy gave him a bad feeling. Just as he was about to inform Luffy and the others, the ship suddenly started to move.

"What's going on?" Franky steadied himself and jogged along, only to find that in just a short time, the Thousand Sunny had already reached high in the sky, and then Franky was stunned.

There's a naval warship in the sky?

Dieterre Island.

"Frankie!" "What happened? Why is the Thousand Sunny flying into the sky?"

"Damn it! I'm going to save Franky and the Thousand Sunny!" Luffy shook his hand, turning his body into a spring, trying to launch himself into the sky.

"Wait, Luffy! A ship is coming down from the sky! Is that... a warship?"

Robin's pupils contracted; as expected, the worst had happened.

The warship did not fly onto the sea surface, but hovered in mid-air, and then more than a dozen figures descended from the sky.

The earthquake trembled, and dust filled the sky.

The dark shadows in the smoke and dust, with their terrifying aura, sent chills down the spines of the Straw Hat crew.

As the dust settled, nearly 30 marines stood before the Straw Hat crew, their gazes filled with a mixture of excitement, disgust, and coldness...

"You can go back now, Franky!"

Carl, who was standing in the center, patted Franky on the head and kicked him back to the Straw Hat crew's position.

"Franky!"

Luffy quickly grew larger and caught Franky: "Franky, are you alright?"

"It's alright, the navy didn't make things difficult for me."

Carl grinned: "Because making things difficult for you alone isn't our goal. Today, our goal is to make things difficult for all of you!"

The Straw Hat crew members had different expressions. Zoro and Sanji looked at the surrounding Marines with wary expressions. Goodness, they really value them!

The navy heroes, three admirals, two admiral candidates, and a bunch of well-known veteran vice admirals—none of them are pushovers. They hadn't really felt it before, but now they truly felt it: the navy truly deserves to be the strongest force in the world.

The cowardly trio had begun to huddle together for warmth, nervously watching the menacing marines around them. They were still young and didn't want to go to jail!

Jinbe sighed, "This is troublesome..."

Isn't that troublesome? Their ship has been taken away, and their only escape route is the sea. But what about Luffy, Chopper, Brook, and Robin?

Garp, standing behind Karl, sighed deeply, stepped to the front, and looked at Luffy with a determined gaze: "Tobi, stop! It's not too late to turn back now!"

No sooner had Garp finished speaking than Luffy shouted, "I don't want to!"

He finally became the Pirate King, taking the first step towards realizing his dream; how could it end like this?

Garp roared angrily, "You bastard! Luffy, you idiot, this is not the time for you to be willful. You're an adult now, why are you still acting like a child? Can't you be a little more mature? Can't you give me a break?"

Luffy was unusually silent for a long time, and lowered his head. But after a while, Luffy pressed his hand on the straw hat on his head, looked up at Garp, and said calmly.

"No, Grandpa, you're right, I should be more mature, but that's precisely why I will never surrender."

"I want to be the freest man in the world, how could I possibly stop for you?"

"Come on! Who are you...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Garp could no longer hold back. He unleashed a terrifying aura, raised his massive black iron fist, and charged towards Luffy.

In his view, even if Luffy is to lose, he will lose to him.

"Grandpa! Don't think I'm afraid of you, I'm very strong now!!!"

"Fourth gear!"

With a hissing sound, Luffy's body swelled up like a balloon, his black body shimmering with red patterns and scorching steam.

This is a duel between grandfather and grandson; no one else wants to get involved, nor does anyone have any reason to.

After all, Garp still has a lot of influence in the Navy.

"Ow~"

With a wail, Luffy clutched his head and rolled around on the ground. It was clear that Garp had really gone all out with that punch. It wasn't just Conqueror's Haki, but it was just as powerful. As expected of a previous generation's Marine hero, he really had something going for him.

"Luffy, are you going to surrender or not?"

"No way! Absolutely no way! I'm going to beat you to a pulp!!!"

bang~

Luffy took off from the spot, his feet constantly kicking up air, making him fly in the air like a manually operated jet engine.

"Guo Moruo, the Great Ape King Spear!!!"

Clang! Luffy's massive fist finished charging, and then he charged towards Garp like a meteor.

Garp showed no fear, calmly twisting his neck, his fist turning incredibly dark, with faint crackling lightning.

At this moment, both the Navy and the Straw Hat crew were just watching the drama unfold, but Karl didn't want to waste any more time.

"Cough cough..."

Chapter 363 The Straw Hat Crew's Doomsday

"Ahem, what are you all standing there for? To watch the show?"

Fujitora was the first to react, immediately drawing his cane sword and shouting in a deep voice, "Hell Tribe!"

A purple light flashed across the blade, and the Straw Hat crew in front of them suddenly felt immense pressure, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on their heads.

Because it happened so suddenly, the Straw Hat crew was almost completely unprepared. A huge, deep crater suddenly appeared on the island, a dark and deep abyss that seemed to lead to hell.
