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

"Break!"

A golden flying slash flew towards the group of zombies, instantly splitting them in two, leaving them lying on the ground howling in agony.

the other side.

"That guy really made a move! It's terrifying!"

"Hey, you pervert, is there anything in this world you're afraid of?"

Absalom sneered, "Shut up, Perona! Get your animal zombie army moving, or my zombie soldiers won't be able to hold out!"

"Hahaha~ No big deal, my adorable animal army is the most powerful in the world! Kumasi, it's up to you now!"

cemetery.

"Nelson, where's the salt I asked you to bring?"

Nelson waved, and several naval soldiers carried over three bags of salt.

"They're all here, Colonel."

Karl nodded: "Very good, these monsters' weakness is salt. As long as we put salt in their mouths, they will lose their fighting ability!"

"I don't need to tell you what to do next, right?"

"Yes, sir!"

Chapter 52 Moonlight Moria

Look closely, this zombie is wriggling.

He was just cut in two by Karl's Flying Slash and is now crawling on the ground, trying to reach his own legs.

Suddenly, Lieutenant Nelson stepped on his back, forcibly twisted his neck, and a look of fear and disgust appeared in his eyes.

"Ugh! It stinks! I hope Colonel Carl is telling the truth!"

"What do you want to do?"

Nelson didn't reply, but instead sprinkled a small pinch of sea salt into the zombie's mouth.

As the zombie let out a sound, its face became grotesque.

Soon, a black substance emerged from its mouth, and the zombie completely lost its vitality, turning into a pile of rotting flesh.

Nelson shouted excitedly, "Sir, it really works!"

Seeing this, the other sailors overcame their fear and went to the zombies to help them.

Just a few minutes later, the cemetery really did become a cemetery.

"Clap clap clap!"

Carl clapped his hands with satisfaction. "You did a great job. Do you still find these zombies scary now?"

All the naval officers and soldiers shook their heads and shouted excitedly, "It's not scary!"

"Very well, then we..." "Aaaaah! Charge! Kill them!!!"

Everyone looked toward the source of the sound, and out of the forest in front of the cemetery sprang a bunch of strange creatures of all shapes and sizes: zombies, animals, white ghosts, and even knights and other such things.

Nelson's pupils contracted, and he roared, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! All hands on alert!"

The naval soldiers quickly raised their rifles and aimed them at the oncoming monster legion.

"Fire!!!"

Bang bang bang~ Bullets shot out, but they had little effect on these strange people, or rather, they were not afraid of bullets at all.

Karl smiled as he looked at the tall, thin zombie with a knife in the monster army. How thoughtful of them, they actually delivered themselves right to his doorstep!

Moria is a smart guy!

"Colonel, they're almost here, bullets are useless against them!"

Nelson looked anxious and somewhat helpless. Their strength was too poor. From the moment they set sail until now, they had relied entirely on Colonel Carl to solve the problems, and they were completely unable to help Colonel Carl share the burden.

If Carl knew what Nelson was thinking, he would be pleased, but there was no need to.

Giving them the Holy Light buff and letting them fight is a waste of time and energy, and a waste of his free time. It's better for him to just take action and quickly end the battle.

Efficiency is the key.

"Get out of the way!"

After saying that, Karl gripped Raven tightly with his right hand, and Armament Haki instantly covered the sword. After a brief charge, he swung it forward with a sudden burst of power.

A golden crescent-shaped flying slash swept diagonally towards the monster army, leaving nothing but desolation in its wake.

Those monsters, who weren't particularly sturdy, were no exception.

"Ouch!" "It hurts!" "My head!"

After a series of screams, few of the monsters that charged at Karl were able to stand; almost all of them were cut in half by Karl's blade, their limbs falling to the ground.

"Such superb swordsmanship! He's a sword master!"

Swordsman Ryoma Zombie looked at Karl with a solemn gaze. Although his shadow was not Brook, but just an ordinary swordsman, he could still feel Karl's power.

However, as a general zombie, he was much stronger than other monsters. Even so, he only managed to withstand Karl's flying slash thanks to the sturdiness of his great sword, the Black Blade Autumn Water.

"Ah! Kumasi!"

A scream rang out, and a pink-haired gothic lolita flew out from the nearby woods, heartbrokenly picking up the half-bear-shaped zombie's body.

"Perona! Are you crazy?! You'll be killed by that navy man!"

Absalom's voice came from the woods, but he was nowhere to be seen.

Perona seemed to be enraged by those words, and she shouted at Karl, "Damn Navy, how dare you hurt Kumasi! I'll make you pay!"

Go forth, you pessimistic ghosts!

Perona released multiple spiritual clones from her body, which were white ghosts with sausage lips, and they all rushed towards Karl.

"Negative~Negative~"

Karl's expression was somewhat solemn. Perona's Negative Ghost was a kind of control skill that was very difficult to counter. In his mind, it was on the same level as Sugar's Hobby Fruit, which made him have to take it seriously.

There are so many naval soldiers here. If he gets infected, how will he lead the troops in the future?

"One-Sword Style: Severing Gold and Jade!"

With two swift slashes, a cross was drawn in the air.

"It's useless! This princess's negative spirit is invincible, invincible, eh!!!"

Perona's eyes nearly popped out of her head as she watched the Negative Ghost being chopped to pieces by Karl; she had such a great facial expression at such a young age.

She simply couldn't believe that the Negative Specter, which even Moria's master couldn't stop, was actually wiped out by Karl with just two strikes!

Karl breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that Armament Haki was incredibly useful.

"How...how is this possible? My negative spirit..."

A glint flashed in Karl's eyes. He immediately stomped the ground and used the Shave technique to approach Perona, preparing to subdue her.

A black blade pierced towards Karl, whose eyes narrowed. He deflected it with his raven, making a crisp clanging sound.

"Princess Mononoke, it's dangerous here! You'd better leave quickly!"

Perona stared blankly at the Dragon Horse General zombie and nodded, then glanced at Karl with lingering fear before quickly running away.

"Your swordsmanship is superb. I may not be your match, but I will certainly do my best."

Karl glanced longingly at the Shusui sword in Ryoma's hand, a smile playing on his lips: "How much power can the corpse of the swordsman Ryoma unleash?"

How strong could an ordinary shadow, a not-so-powerful corpse, be?

The answer is that Carl killed him with two blows.

"Tsk tsk tsk~ The national treasure of Wano Country, the black sword Shusui, one of the 21 Great Grade Swords, Moria is really wasting such a treasure!"

Karl was very satisfied with the knife; he didn't even have to forge a black blade himself—how convenient!

Having obtained the goods, Carl immediately prepared to leave.

"Nelson, the escaped pirates have disappeared without a trace. Let's call it a day!"

Nelson was taken aback, then quickly nodded: "Yes, sir! Let's go!"

If nothing else, the accident happened.

"Hehehe~ Navy, you think you can just leave after destroying the zombie army I painstakingly created? Do you really think I, Moria, don't exist?"

A giant bowling ball appeared in front of Karl, its eyes greedily scanning Karl's body.

He had a purple, scallion-like hairstyle, horns on his head, a tail behind him, wore a shirt with a bat-like collar and Gothic clothing, and had very short legs, extremely short.

"That, that face, it's Gecko Moria!"

"Another famous king among the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
