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

Chapter 46 The Capital of Seven Waters

"Gah!"

The raven on Carl's shoulder let out a creepy cry as it looked at the juicy meat in front of him, its crimson eyes frantically gesturing to Carl. Blue also turned his head to look over, his mouth watering.

Having just won 500 million Berries, Karl arrogantly shouted to the boss, "I'll take all this meat and water!"

The plump female boss's face lit up with joy: "Yes, sir, please wait a moment, I'll pack it for you right away!"

Eating fresh meat and drinking special beverages while enjoying the unique scenery, Karl couldn't help but sigh that this was what life in the navy was like—simple, unpretentious, and monotonous.

"Carrera Shipyard?"

Karl stared into thought as he looked at the name of the shipyard. It seemed that Iceberg had not yet merged the shipyards in Water Seven, so the CP9 group would not be infiltrating here.

Brubru~

“It’s me, Karl.”

"Colonel, pirates have landed on Shipwreck Island, but it's not the Blazing Pirates."

"Who is this guy? Judging from the pirate flag, it should be the White Wolf Pirates, captain White Wolf Wolf, with a bounty of 4350 million Berries."

"I'm coming right away. Keep an eye on them."

"obey"

Carl patted the raven on his shoulder and said softly, "It's up to you now!"

The raven nodded, took to the sky, and gradually grew larger, becoming as big as a buffalo. Karl nodded in satisfaction and used Moonwalk to get on the raven's back.

"Let's go!" "Gah!"

Raven carried Karl as they flew over Water 7 and soon arrived at Shipwreck Island. Karl patted Raven on the head after seeing the pirate ship moored on the coastline.

"Let's fly down from here!"

Destroyed Ship Island.

"Boss, is this Water Seven? What a prosperous place! It must be very rich here!"

Captain Wolf slapped his underling on the head in exasperation: "Idiot, we're here to get a new ship, not to cause trouble!"

"If we attract the navy, how are we going to escape in this dilapidated ship?"

The younger brother, clutching his headache, quickly said, "Yes, yes, boss is wise."

Wolf nodded in satisfaction and beckoned his men to land on Shipwreck Island, preparing to discreetly enter Water Seven.

"Boss! What's that in the sky?" "It's an eagle, a black eagle?"

Wolf shielded his eyes from the sunlight and squinted at the sky.

"No, there's someone up there! Everyone on high alert!!!"

"Gah!"

The raven began to descend, and at about 30 meters, Karl jumped off its back, landing with a thud in front of the wary pirates.

"Captain White Wolf Wolf, bounty 4350 million Berries; First mate Black Wolf Duff, bounty 1800 million Berries. I am informing you in the name of the Navy."

"You are surrounded. Surrender now!"

Wolf was startled and quickly looked around, but he saw nothing but ruins everywhere. Where was the navy?

"Boss, there are no navy around. He's just trying to scare us!"

"Damn the navy, kill him!"

After the incident at Wolf, his henchmen all raised their guns, aimed at Karl, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang bang bang~"

Ding Ding Ding ~

Karl was too lazy to twist and turn to dodge the bullets, so he simply covered his entire body with Armament Haki to block them.

"What kind of ability is this? It can actually stop bullets!"

Wolf was shocked. Being ignorant, he didn't even know what Haki was and assumed that Karl was a Devil Fruit user like him.

The other pirates were also completely baffled, feeling that Karl's strength was unfathomable. Even the best guns couldn't hurt him, so how strong must he be?

"How rude of me!"

Karl slowly extended his right hand, and the raven landed on it, transforming into a long, black sword with lifelike wings on the hilt.

"Are you ready to die, pirates?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Karl slashed horizontally with his sword, a huge golden flying slash sweeping towards the White Wolf Pirates.

Wolf the White Wolf instinctively lay down on the ground, but the others weren't so lucky.

All that could be heard were screams as the standing pirates were cleaved in two, along with the pirate ship moored behind them. The upper half of the ship slowly slid into the sea, splashing up a spray of water.

"No! No, they're my men!"

Wolf cried out in anguish upon seeing the horrific scene behind him, his eyes filled with horror as he looked at Karl. Had it not been for the beast's instinct that saved his life, he would likely have ended up like his men.

"Wow, as expected of the captain! You've got some skills. Aren't you an ability user? Show us something!"

"Don't underestimate the Navy! Looking down on me will come at a price!!!"

"Ow~"

Wolf roared and transformed into a majestic white wolf, its green eyes staring at Karl without any emotion.

"I ate your flesh and drank your blood to avenge my brothers! Die!"

Karl smiled slightly, his figure suddenly disappeared, and he appeared in front of Wolf, slashing down with his sword.

"Aaaaaah~ It hurts so much!"

Wolf's body went out of control and he fell to his knees, because Karl had severed both of his front paws.

"I am Carl, a captain from Naval Headquarters. You have been arrested!"

He was just an ordinary animal ability user, and he would be instantly defeated by Karl. It has to be said that Raven's sword is indeed amazing, and in Karl's opinion, it is no less than a Great Grade Sword.

"Moshi moshi, the pirates are dealt with, you can come over here!"

After informing the navy, Karl waited in place, gazing at the azure sea, and couldn't help but unleash a few more flying slashes to see how far they could fly.

Watching the flying slashes disappear, Karl couldn't help but shake his head. They were too far away to calculate the distance.

At this moment, the naval officers and soldiers stationed near the abandoned ship island have arrived. Although many of them had seen it through binoculars, they still felt a bit nauseous when they got closer.

Bloodstains and severed limbs were everywhere, and the gazes directed at Colonel Karl were now tinged with fear. Colonel Karl seemed quite amiable, but he showed no mercy to pirates, and was even cruel.

"Colonel, did you do all this?"

Karl shrugged. "What else? Arrest that guy. Oh, and he's an ability user, so remember to put Seastone handcuffs on him."

"Yes, sir!"

Nelson's expression turned serious, and he quickly ordered the soldiers to restrain Wolf and take him away.

"Sir, what should we do with the pirate ship and the corpses?"

Carl patted Nelson on the shoulder and said, "You're a seasoned navy officer now. You need to learn to handle problems on your own."

After saying this, Karl swaggered toward Water Seven, where music and dance began.

Nelson was taken aback at first, then became extremely excited. Colonel Carl trusted him so much, so he absolutely could not let Colonel Carl down.

"You lot, go and throw these pirate corpses into the sea!"

"You guys, hurry up and collect the loot before the pirate ship sinks!"

"Yes, Lieutenant Nelson!"

Chapter 47 Unexpected Visitor

The waters near Water Seven.

A lone coffin drifts on the sea, with a short-haired man in black sitting on it, wearing a black trench coat over a burgundy patterned shirt.

What's most eye-catching is the greatsword behind him, shaped like a cross, the Supreme Grade Sword No. 12 - Black Sword Night.

His identity is also obvious: the world's greatest swordsman and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Hawkeye Mihawk, whose full name is Dracule Mihawk.

He was comfortably sipping red wine in his glass with his legs crossed when suddenly, he frowned.

"Flying Slash?"

Several golden flying slashes flew towards him, but Mihawk did not react at all, because the flying slashes disappeared without a trace before they even got close.

"A swordsman who can use flying slashes, interesting. He must have flown in from over there, hmm~"

"The Water City..."

A glint flashed in Mihawk's eagle-like eyes, and he immediately turned the ship around, heading towards Water Seven, which was not far away.

To be precise, it was in the direction from which the flying slash came.

As the world's greatest swordsman, Mihawk, despite holding the title of the strongest, never refuses a challenger's challenge and even goes out of his way to seek out challenges.
