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

Chapter 376 Attacking Mary Geoise (Part 2)

Pangu City, amidst the flowers.

Several months later, Karl returned to the place and looked around. Although the flowers and plants were lush and butterflies were fluttering, nothing had changed. It was still so cramped and suffocating.

To let him stay in this godforsaken place for hundreds of years, tsk tsk tsk, I can't even imagine it. You know, even Emperor Kangxi knew to go on incognito visits!

"You came."

Carl scratched his head and said helplessly, "Didn't you ask me to come?"

"sit down!"

With a wave of his hand, a black chair rose from the ground, likely created by Im's power.

Karl wasn't worried about Im making any moves. He casually sat down, crossed his legs, and looked at Im with interest: "The Revolutionary Army has already attacked Mary Geoise, and you still have the mood to call me over for a chat? I really don't know if you have the determination to win or if you've already given up?"

"Cast away? What do you mean?"

"Let nature take its course."

"Oh, more or less!"

Karl was somewhat surprised: "You're really not going to do anything?"

"No, I only have one opponent, and that is Joey Boy."

"Ahem, his name is Monkey D. Luffy."

Im slowly stood up and said calmly, "What's the difference? He is a member of the D clan and possesses Joy Boy's abilities, so naturally he also bears Joy Boy's mission."

"That's Joy Boy!"

Karl shook his head, not wanting to argue with Im, and instead asked seriously, "So how do you plan to deal with Joy Boy, who has returned from 800 years ago?"

Im chuckled lightly: "You don't need to worry about that."

Then why the hell did you call me over? Just to chat?

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and neither of them spoke.

After a while, Im suddenly said, "I'm going to activate Uranus, the Heavenly King."

Karl jumped to his feet: "What do you want to do? Drag the entire world down with the Celestial Dragons?"

"Hahahaha~"

Seeing Karl's somewhat excited and nervous expression, Im chuckled softly, then took off his hood, revealing a stunningly beautiful face that, at first glance, bore an eight-tenths resemblance to Vivi.

However, compared to Vivi, Im is more mature and charming, with her long, wavy, sea-blue hair casually draped over her shoulders, exuding a faint fragrance.

The essence of time has settled in her burgundy eyes, and her elegant smile reveals the wisdom and composure that time has bestowed upon her.

"General Karl, don't worry, I'm not that stupid."

Then, Im slowly walked to Karl's side and said with a smile, "800 years ago, I used this trick to force Joy Boy to submit and achieved final victory. Now, I just want to see if Joy Boy will repeat the same mistakes as history."

"Besides, if the world is destroyed, wouldn't our immortality be meaningless?"

Karl's gaze sharpened as he stared intently into Im's eyes: "You'd better have it this way, or even if the world ends, I will never let you go!"

"Hehe, when you've lived for hundreds of years, you won't say such things anymore, General Karl. Just like you said before, we shouldn't be enemies, right?" Im looked at Karl with a playful glint in his eyes.

Karl sneered, "That's because my strength gives me the right to say that. You'd better watch yourself!"

shuh~

Karl transformed into light particles and dissipated in place. Im smiled faintly, his gaze fixed on the light particles in the air. He extended his smooth, alabaster index finger and released shadow energy to bind the light.

"Light and darkness, hehe, how interesting."

Naval warships.

Seeing Karl return, Kuzan glanced at the time and asked, "Where have you been? Why did it take you so long?"

Carl, somewhat annoyed, ran a hand through his hair and said, "You're really meddling. How's the situation now?"

Kuzan shrugged, unconcerned about Karl's attitude, and enthusiastically explained the battle situation to Karl.

Shortly after Karl left, the Knights of God joined the battlefield, and their strength even impressed Kuzan.

As a marshal, he had long known that the Knights of God were the last remaining force of the Celestial Dragons, but this was the first time he had seen them take action.

It has to be said, they are very strong, especially the leader of the Knights of God, that old guy with the exact same hair color as Shanks, whose strength is extremely powerful, definitely at the admiral level.

Of course, the other members are not bad either; they are at least at the level of general candidates.

Their arrival immediately tipped the scales of victory; at the very least, the revolutionary army dared not venture any further into Pangu City.

"The Knights of God are indeed living up to their reputation. The Revolutionary Army is in trouble now."

Karl shook his head, thinking that since Im was already preparing to activate Uranus, these were just minor skirmishes.

The final outcome will inevitably be a battle between Joy Boype, Luffy, and Im.

"That's not necessarily true. The Revolutionary Army has four commanders, plus Sabo the Fire Fist, the Straw Hat Pirates, Vegapunk, and Dragon who hasn't shown up yet. In terms of high-end combat power, the Revolutionary Army has an absolute advantage."

"The outcome of a war is often determined by the strength of high-end combat forces. Have you forgotten how the Twilight Zone was destroyed? What's the use of having many children? Aren't there only a few who can actually fight?"

As Karl spoke, Kuzan nodded in agreement: "That's true, but as for the World Government... well, let's just wait and see!"

Mariejoia.

"Rubber!" "Flame Dragon King"

"gun!!!"

This is a combined attack from Luffy and Sabo, where a massive rubber gun, carrying a blazing fire dragon king, roars as it charges toward Lucci on the ground.

With nowhere to run, Lucci roared in frustration, "Armored Iron Body!!!"

Rob Lucci, OUT!

Rob Lucci, a once-in-500-years genius, once again exemplified the true meaning of Iron Body with his own blood. A salute to Lucci, a salute to the CP fans!!!

after one day.

Mary Geoise, the territory of the Celestial Dragons, is now a scene of utter devastation. Ruins and debris are scattered everywhere, the crumbling walls of buildings contrasting with the gloomy sky. The once bustling streets have become dilapidated, blood-soaked corridors, littered with the corpses of warriors, pools of crimson blood, and acrid black smoke... and the devastation continues.

The Straw Hat crew no longer shone with vibrant smiles, but instead gazed sadly at their surroundings, experiencing for the first time the true cruelty of war.

The once valiant revolutionary soldiers were no longer in high spirits. Exhausted, they wandered among the ruins, their pain and despair clearly visible in their eyes. Their battle was over, but the battle for the strong was far from over.

Because in this battle, no one has a way out.

Chapter 377 The Five Elders Ascend

Above the ruins, the sun blazed like fire, and scorching sandstorms swirled up billowing yellow dust, scattering across the earth.

Figarando Grimaldi, the supreme commander of the Knights of God, stands tall on the battlefield, wielding a distinguished rapier.

The other members of the Knights of God were either still struggling or had already been defeated, and even he was deeply exhausted.

His opponent was the Revolutionary Army Chief of Staff, Dragon, most of the time.

"Aren't you going to give up yet?"

"Heh, I am the patriarch of the Figarand family, the guardian knight of the Celestial Dragons. Do you think I would give up?"

That's what he said, but his movements began to become somewhat heavy, and his breathing became rapid. But his gaze remained firm; he knew he was the last line of defense for the Celestial Dragons, the last vestige of dignity for the World Nobles.

Therefore, he could only try his best to rouse his exhausted body and continue to fight.

However, what awaited him was a relentless war of attrition, with the revolutionary army ruthlessly wearing him down in this way.

Finally, physical exhaustion gradually took over his consciousness, his movements became sluggish, and the rapier in his hand gradually lost its sharpness.

Huhuhu~

A fierce wind swept in, tearing Figarando Gringu Saint's magnificent robes and pulling him into the eye of the storm. He was assaulted by the violent wind blades, and soon hundreds of bloody marks appeared on his body, causing his strength to drop rapidly.

Bang!

Figarando's body went limp to the ground, his consciousness gradually blurred, his vision went black, and he fainted.

He was the last God Knight to fall, which also meant that the World Government's trump card had been torn apart by the Revolutionary Army.

"Oooo!!!!"

"Long live the Revolutionary Army!!!"

This scene greatly boosted the morale of the revolutionary soldiers, who waved flags and shouted as they charged toward Pangaea, the center of Mary Geoise!

"Charge! Flatten Pangu City!!!"

Inside Pangu City.

“Gringu has fallen… No, all those who fought for the World Government have fallen. Now, only we are left.”

sizzle~

Financial God of War Izanbaron V. Nassjuro Sei slowly drew the First Generation Kitetsu and said expressionlessly, "Then let's fight!"

Shepard X. Pitt, the God of Agriculture and Martial Arts, loosened his deep red suit jacket, cracked his neck, and echoed, "I second that. Perhaps the world has forgotten why we are called Gods of War..."
