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

Carl said speechlessly, "Stop pretending. Didn't you already have it all planned out?"

"Hey, can't I even express my feelings?"

"cut!"

The scene shifts to the Straw Hat Pirates.

Nikka Luffy glared menacingly at "Vivi": "So your name is Im, huh?! Switch Vivi's body back right now!!!"

“Joey Boy…heh.” Vivi shook her head helplessly. This time, she hadn’t lost to Joey Boy, absolutely not!

Zoro whispered, "Luffy, if Vivi and she are to switch bodies, we'll need that Death Doctor, right?"

"Terra Man? Right, right, where is he again?"

huh~

Luo arrived uninvited and said in a deep voice, "No need to look anymore, I'm here!"

Seeing Law suddenly appear, Sanji asked in surprise, "Eh, didn't I remember you were taken away by the Marines? How come..."

Luo coldly said, "My task is to bring them back. Don't ask me anything else."

After saying that, Luo glanced at "Weiwei" with apprehension, then released his ability to switch the consciousness of the two of them.

“room~”

Seeing this, Zoro gripped his sword hilt tightly and whispered to Luffy beside him, "Be careful. Once we switch back, Im will have immense power. Be very careful."

Luffy nodded seriously.

After a few breaths, Imvivi returned to their places.

Im stretched out his right hand, feeling his powerful body. Seeing the wary gazes of Luffy, Zoro, and the others, he chuckled. "What rude looks! If it were before... well, that's all in the past."

After saying this, Im transformed into a shadow and vanished into the Red Earth, disappearing without a trace.

"what?"

"She...she just left like that?"

"Luffy, how could you let someone who wanted to destroy the world just leave like that?"

"I can't make it?"

At this moment, a tall figure walked over and laughed heartily, "It's alright, she no longer has the resources to cause trouble. If she dares to cause trouble, the Navy will not let her off the hook."

Nami, Robin, and the others nodded; Karl's words did have some credibility.

"By the way, Uncle Karl, when are you going to release Shanks?"

Karl chuckled and shook his head: "What, can't wait any longer? Well, it's time to let Shanks see the world."

Luffy exclaimed excitedly, "Great! Can we go now?"

"Are you sure you don't want to say goodbye to your father or anything?"

Luffy shook his head decisively: "That's not important, rescuing Shanks is the priority!"

"Alright then! Let's go!"

Luffy jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Yay!!!"

As for what the new government and navy should do, that's not Karl's concern; he'll be on a long vacation soon anyway.

It might even be time to consider retirement.

Two days later, the project was completed.

Beep! The elevator doors opened, and Karl, Luffy, and Magellan stepped out.

Luffy shouted impatiently, "Shanks! I'm here to save you!"

In the cell, Shanks suddenly looked up, his eyes revealing surprise.

"Luffy?"

Luffy ran quickly to Shanks' cell and shouted happily, "Shanks, don't be afraid, I'll release you right away!"

Then Luffy turned his head and looked at Karl expectantly, and Karl immediately turned his head and looked at Magellan expectantly.

Magellan took out a bunch of keys and counted them carefully. He wasn't very good at this kind of work yet, after all, this was the first time he had encountered a prisoner who could be released from the Infinite Hell openly and legitimately.

"found it!"

Click~ Splash~

The heavy seastone chains fell to the ground. Shanks touched his slightly blackened wrist and chuckled sheepishly, "Hehe, I never thought I'd actually be out here again. This is really..."

Buggy, his cellmate, stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "This isn't fair! Why is that bastard Shanks free? He's one of the Four Emperors! Aren't you afraid he'll go out and wreak havoc everywhere?"

Shanks: Alright, alright, after all these years as brothers, this is how you treat me, is it?

Bucky then patted his chest and assured him, "General Karl, here's what we'll do: release me too. Once I'm out, I'll stay by Shanks' side. If he dares to do anything wrong, I'll report him immediately!"

Karl's lips curled slightly as he turned to Magellan: "Release him too!"

Magellan: "Huh?"

Bucky: "Huh?"

"Like he said, he'll keep an eye on Shanks after he gets out, right, Bucky?"

"Yes, yes, yes! I promise..." Bucky danced with joy, his face beaming with ecstasy. He never dreamed that he could actually leave Impel Down again.

Seeing this, Shanks' expression changed, and he looked at Karl seriously: "If I stop being a pirate after we get out, can you release my crew as well?"

"Ok?"

Karl stroked his chin, then looked down at Shanks: "No, not necessarily, but only if..."

"You must join the Adventurers' Guild! You must never again bear the name of pirates!!!"

"forever!"

Chapter 386 New World

"Okay, it's a deal!"

As one of the few prisoners who were entitled to read newspapers, Shanks was not entirely ignorant of the Adventurers' Guild.

Times have changed. Didn't you see that Luffy was forced to become a Marine spy infiltrating the pirate ranks after only a few days as the Pirate King, and then switched sides to the adventurers' camp?

Shanks yearns for freedom, but he's not stupid.

As long as I can get my brothers out of this hellhole, it's all worth it.

"Discretion is the better part of valor, Shanks. We'll be watching you, right, Bucky?"

Bucky, hands on his hips, laughed wildly, "Hahaha, leave it to me! I guarantee I'll keep a close eye on Shanks and absolutely won't let him..."

Karl waved his hand: "Alright, alright, Magellan, take them away quickly."

On the other side, Doflamingo opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but couldn't get the words out.

No, the Qing Dynasty is gone! The Heavenly Dragons are all dead! He'll never be able to leave again in this lifetime.

Perhaps seeing Magellan leave, the other prisoners also shouted at Karl:

"Let me go! I promise I'll join that Adventurers' Guild and quit being a pirate!"

"Yes! What they can do, we can do too, so why can't they let us go?"

Shh! Shut up! Or I'll kill you all!

With a whoosh, a cold wind blew by, and the Infinite Hell fell silent.

Seeing this, Carl nodded in satisfaction and swaggered away from the dark and damp place.

His matter is finally settled. Now, he can focus on being present during the delivery and waiting for his daughter to be born!

Meanwhile, the Navy Headquarters and the People's Coalition Government were extremely busy.

Because of Im's plan to destroy the world, the moon's proximity to their homeland inevitably had an impact.

30% of the islands were submerged due to abnormal tidal movements, seriously threatening people's lives and property.

Therefore, the Navy, in conjunction with the Adventurers' Guild and the new government, launched a disaster relief operation to establish its prestige.

Only by getting through this difficult time can we gradually get back on track.

Several months later, on the Sky Island, in the Kingdom of Women.

Carl paced anxiously outside the ward, while Ian, heavily pregnant, comforted him with amusement, saying, "Don't worry, Carl, don't be nervous."

Carl sighed, his face conflicted, and said, "Of course I'm nervous! This little one is so well-nourished, I'm afraid Hancock will have a difficult birth!"

Just hearing Hancock's pained cries made Carl extremely anxious.

"No, I have to go in and check!"

Carl transformed into a streak of light, slipping into the operating room unnoticed, and stood before the pale-faced Hancock, firmly grasping her hand.

"Hancock, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

After saying that, Carl reached out and wiped the large beads of sweat from Hancock's forehead, feeling extremely distressed.
