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

"Ding~ Moria's hostility towards the host has been detected, triggering the series of quests [Friends Don't Fight Each Other 2/7], as an ally..."

"Mission Requirements: Avoid engaging in combat with one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea: Dracule Mihawk."

"Reward: Special skill [Shadow Sight], Observation Haki enhancement card *5"

【Shadow Vision】: Transfers a portion of the user's shadow to objects to gain their vision. The transfer limit is 1.

Karl was overjoyed. Sure enough, the series of missions was back. He couldn't afford to fail again this time.

In particular, this [Shadow Vision] is similar to Eagle Vision in Assassin's Creed. If he transfers part of his shadow to the raven, he essentially gains an extra "moving true sight".

That said, the first reward of this series of missions seems to be related to the Seven Warlords of the Sea themselves.

Mihawk's is the Black Blade Forging Method, Moria's is Shadow Vision, what will Crocodile be? What will Doflamingo be? Karl is very much looking forward to it.

"Lord Moonlight Moria, so this is your territory. No wonder it's so...unique."

Moria scoffed, "Flattery won't work."

"That's right! Master Moria, this villain has damaged Kumasi! You must kill him to avenge Kumasi!"

Perona started stirring things up.

"Yes! Master, most of the general zombies and animal zombies we've created over the years have been wiped out by this navy. It's been a huge loss!"

Absalom started stirring things up.

Moria sneered and pointed his sharp finger at Karl: "Navy, what else do you have to say?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, but Karl was prepared.

"Lord Moria, we came here in pursuit of the Flame Pirates, but one of the pirates escaped to this place, so we chased after him."

"We didn't know this was your territory before! Please forgive us if we have offended you."

Before Moria could reply, Karl turned to Nelson and said, "You, immediately notify Marine Headquarters that this is Moria's territory, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. There's no need to send reinforcements to help capture the pirates."

"Yes, sir!"

Moria was about to explode when he heard Karl's words and was shocked. They had already notified Marine Headquarters? This Navy was far too decisive!

Damn it! If something happens to these navy men, wouldn't he be the prime suspect?

Moria's desire to take Karl's shadow vanished almost instantly, but for the sake of his pride, he still spoke with a cold face.

"Navy! If pirates come to my territory, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, I will naturally deal with them. But the monsters you killed were all created by me with great effort. How do you explain that?"

"And that knife in your hand, that's mine too."

Karl glanced down at the Autumn Water in his hand, casually placed it behind his back, and smiled with pursed lips: "Lord Moria, it was your monster legion that attacked us first. We were merely responding passively!"

"And if I remember correctly, your two men brought people here just now to cause trouble for the Navy, right?"

After saying that, Karl looked at Moria, whose expression had changed slightly, and said with amusement, "Tsk tsk tsk~ Could it have been your idea, Lord Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

"Hmph~ You invaded my territory first, they just did what they were supposed to do."

Karl looked at Moria with a half-smile: "Oh! Is that so? Then there's no misunderstanding. I thought Lord Moria didn't want the position of Shichibukai anymore!"

Moria glared at Karl, furious. Damn the Marines, how dare they threaten him!

If it weren't for the consequences of taking action, he would never have let this despicable navy man go!

That's right, Karl dared to threaten Moria so brazenly because he knew Moria cared a lot about his status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Because only as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea can he stay here peacefully, making zombies and carrying out his plan to take revenge on Kaido.

If he loses his position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he will be hunted down by the Navy, and his plans will never be realized.

"Hehehe~ Of course not, but my losses are so great! Your navy can't just leave like this!"

Karl nodded solemnly: "Indeed, Lord Moria makes a good point. How about this!"

"Nelson, go and bring over Captain Roach of the Flame Pirates and hand him over to Lord Moria for disposal."

He's just a pirate, it's no big deal. Just consider it payment to Qiushui!

Moria remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he considered that Roach's bounty was around 8700 million Berries, which meant he had some power, and creating a zombie general wouldn't be a problem.

But he lost far more than just one shadow. Roach's shadow was just a drop in the ocean. He suffered a silent loss and was furious!

ten minutes later...

"Lord Moria, this is the pirate with a bounty of 8700 million Berries, Roach Thompson. I'm handing him over to you!"

Moria glanced at Roach, then said to Absalom beside him, "Absalom, it's all yours now!"

Absalom glanced at Karl with apprehension, then took Roach away in front of him and made him kneel before Moria.

"Owner."

Moria nodded slightly and grinned maliciously at Karl, "Navy, I'll forgive you this time, but if you dare to trespass on my territory again, don't blame me for being impolite!"

After saying that, Moria lifted Roach high, and Perona behind him found a torch from somewhere, bringing a sliver of light to the gloomy and terrifying environment.

"Now, you can get out of here! Navy!"

Carl guessed that Moria wanted to cut off Roach's shadow, but didn't want them to see it. Since they weren't allowed to see it, then let's leave!

"let's go!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Karl immediately turned and left.

The group returned the way they came, boarded the warship, and the gates in the distance slowly opened to make way for them.

"let's go!"

Nelson nodded and immediately began to give instructions, with the warships lowering their anchors and heading towards the lock gate.

the other side.

"Damn the Navy! Damn the Navy! So many shadows have vanished! Damn it!!!"

Moria was heartbroken after briefly tallying up the losses; these were the fruits of his years of waiting patiently for the rabbit to run into his trap!

Even the swordsman Ryuma Zombie, on whom he had placed his hopes, was destroyed by that Marine! Oh, and that great Grade 21 black sword, Shusui!

"Damn the Marines! That's a treasure I painstakingly brought back from Wano Country!"

Seeing Moria's anger, both Moria and Perona lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound, while the remaining monsters lay on the ground trembling.

After venting for a while, Moria calmed down: "Abu, from now on, don't let any pirates who pass through the Devil's Triangle escape!"

"Yes, Master!"

Chapter 54 Harvest Day

Inside the ship's lounge.

"Ding~ [Don't fight your own people 2/7] Mission complete."

"Reward: Active skill [Shadow Sight], Observation Haki enhancement card *5"

Karl nodded in satisfaction. Moria is such a good person!

Mihawk, watch and learn more! See how others become Shichibukai!

"Use all Observation Haki enhancement cards!"

In this way, Karl's Observation Haki level was upgraded from LV2 to LV4.

"Hmm, it's gotten a little stronger again."

Karl's Observation Haki jumped two levels in one go. He could clearly feel that the range of his Observation Haki had expanded considerably, to 250 meters or 300 meters?

Karl wasn't sure, but he could clearly perceive every move within that range.

"By the way, there's also this!"

Carl turned on the light, looked at the shadows on the floor, and whispered, "Split!"

As if a mysterious force shrank Karl's shadow, a black ball of energy the size of an apple appeared in Karl's hand. This must be the shadow he had just separated.

"The outcome hinges on this!"

Shadow vision describes objects, while raven is both a weapon and a creature. I don't know if it will work, but I'll give it a try.

Karl placed the ball of energy in his hand on the hilt of Raven's sword. Soon, the shadow ball quickly merged into Raven's blade, but nothing changed.

To verify whether it was successful, Karl closed his eyes.

A magical thing happened: Carl discovered himself standing in the room from another perspective, and that perspective was... Raven!

"Raven, become a bird!"

"Quack~"

The bird-shaped raven tilted its head and stroked its feathers, as if it did not sense anything unusual.

"Raven, go fly around!" "Caw!"

The raven immediately flapped its wings and flew away, while Karl remained seated in the room, then closed his eyes, and the perspective began to shift.

Outside, Nelson was talking to the navigator, while the other soldiers were either cleaning or patrolling, each doing their own job.

The sea was still shrouded in mist, but it was much thinner than the fog over the Terror Sail.
