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

The country is built in the mountains covered by jungle, and the architecture has a distinctly Chinese style. The island has an absolute rule of "men's ban" from hundreds of years ago. Once a man enters this place, he will be eliminated.

While Karl wouldn't dare claim to be the first man to land on Daughter Island, he certainly dares to say he was the first man to be formally invited to enter Daughter Island.

As for Aion and Nelson, they weren't so lucky. They could only watch Karl leave and continue to guard the warship.

Walking through the city filled with Chinese style, Karl's arrival attracted a lot of surprised looks, because he was a man, a handsome man.

The women stared unabashedly as Karl "loudly plotted."

"My God! Is this what a man is like? He's so charming! Just like Lady Snake!"

"How dare a man set foot on our territory? Could it be..."

Sandasonia and Marigold exchanged a glance and shouted loudly to the onlookers around them.

"This is Rear Admiral Karl of the Navy Headquarters. He is the one who lifted Lady Snake's Gorgon Curse."

The women present gasped in shock. The Gorgon Curse? The vicious curse that had plagued Lady Snake for so many years had actually been lifted by a man?

No wonder he was able to get here; it turns out he lifted the curse on Lady Snake. In that case...

"Ahhh! That's great! Lady Snake Princess's curse has finally been broken!"

"Thank you! Thank you for everything you've done for Lady Snake!"

Carl gave an awkward smile, knowing that he had given Hancock a good beating earlier that day!

Wait a minute, why am I embarrassed? I hit her, that's fine. It's not like I didn't heal her and even broke her curse! Thank you, it's my duty!

With that thought, Karl immediately smiled and waved to the residents of the Nine Serpent Clan, giving them a "Hello comrades, you've worked hard" look.

Upon arriving at the palace, Karl found it rather deserted, with hardly anyone around except for a few female guards.

"Donna, Stobbi, Lady Snake has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the palace later!"

"Yes!"

The two sisters then said to Carl, "Your older sister is already waiting for you, come with us!"

Karl smiled and said, "Thank you for your help."

Upon entering the palace, Karl was immediately greeted by a faint, intoxicating fragrance.

Then he looked around at the interior of the palace and was somewhat disappointed. Perhaps because of the scarcity of resources and the backward production level on Daughter Island, it was not very luxurious, and it was not even as good as his private lounge.

Then Carl saw Hancock, who was lightly made up, walking quickly towards him, looking somewhat excited.

"You came?"

Carl looked at the stunningly beautiful Hancock with a hint of amazement in his eyes, and said with a smile, "Your cheongsam is very beautiful, I like it very much."

Hearing Carl's praise, Hancock felt as sweet as honey, and kept thinking about Carl's words, "I really like it."

I like it very much, which is roughly equivalent to "I like you". Is this... is this a confession to myself?

This, isn't this a bit too fast!

After much deliberation, Hancock said hesitantly, "I...I like it very much too..."

Before Hancock could finish speaking, a short, wrinkled old woman jumped out, interrupting the ambiguous atmosphere.

"Hancock! You are the Empress of the Amazon Lily, do you still look like an emperor?"

He immediately launched into a tirade of reprimands, causing Hancock's expression to change.

It's you again, you old hag, ruining her plans!

Hancock was so angry that her breasts heaved. Normally, she would have thrown Granny New out without saying a word.

But now that Carl was sitting there, she didn't let Carl think she was a rude woman.

"Grandma New, this is none of your business! Who let her in? Sandasonia, escort Grandma New out of here!!!"

Hancock said it with a smile, but the smile seemed forced and a little fake.

Sandasonia rushed in from outside, grabbed Grandma New, and forcibly dragged her outside.

"Hey! Let go of me! Don't forget you're the emperor of the Nine Serpent Clan! (voice fades)..."

"That old woman is..."

Hancock quickly said, "Don't worry about her, she'll be fine."

While saying this aloud, a little voice inside her roared: "That damned old woman dares to ruin my good time!"

"Call your two younger sisters over! I'll lift their 'curse' while I'm at it."

Hancock nodded. Although she longed to spend more time alone with Carl, she knew what was more important. The sooner the "curse" was lifted, the sooner her sisters could be freed, just like her.

"Sandasonia, Marigold, come in!"

The next second, the two sisters quickly opened the door and came in, their eyes showing a hint of excitement as they looked at Karl; they had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

"Thank you for your help, Major General Karl!" *2

Looking at his two tall and strong sisters, Karl felt a little sentimental. "It has to be the world of One Piece!"

"Don't mention it, it was just something I did!"

After speaking, Karl spread his hands, condensing two balls of holy light, which then merged into the bodies of the two sisters.

The holy light quickly took effect, and once the itching disappeared, the two sisters looked at each other excitedly and couldn't wait to go to their hiding place. Then, a joyful scream rang out.

"Great! They've really disappeared!" "We three sisters can finally stop worrying and living in fear!"

A few minutes later, the two sisters came out and bowed deeply to Karl to express their gratitude.

Overwhelmed by these emotions, Hancock couldn't help but sigh, covering her eyes with her right hand, a single tear sliding down her cheek...

Only at this moment did she truly feel that the dark and hopeless period of her past was finally over, instead of becoming an inescapable nightmare. At this moment, she had to speak out.

"Karl, do you know? Ten years ago, when I and my two younger sisters set sail with the Kuja Pirates..."

Then, with a relieved expression, Hancock told Carl about her experience of being enslaved, that painful past.

......

After listening to Hancock's story, Karl couldn't help but sigh again, "The Celestial Dragons are truly a disgusting species!"

Hancock covered her mouth, seemingly surprised. Karl was a Marine, and weren't the Marines and the Celestial Dragons in cahoots?

Seeing Hancock's surprised expression, Karl said bluntly, "Actually, quite a few Marines dislike the Celestial Dragons."

"I really hate Celestial Dragons."

Hancock's gaze suddenly became even more intense, almost to the point of being drool-worthy. Her two younger sisters seemed to realize that their older sister seemed to be... in love?

Sandasonia quickly gave Marigold a wink, pulled her out of the room, and closed the door.

Now, only Carl and Hancock remain in the room...

Chapter 64 Banquet

“Karl..…”

The shout startled Carl, and looking at Hancock, who was half-lying on the cushion with a slightly flushed face, Carl had to admit that he felt a little restless.

"What... um~"

Hancock didn't care about anything else and pounced on Carl, hugging his neck tightly and giving him a passionate kiss.

Karl's pupils dilated instantly, everyone saw it!

She started it with her mouth! I was acting in self-defense!

He then put his arm around Hancock, demonstrating his extensive experience, and gradually shifted his hands to other areas.

Is this what kissing is?

This feels amazing! Wait, I heard that you can get pregnant if you kiss!

If it were my and Karl's baby, it would surely grow up to be very beautiful!

What's your name?

No, no, no, we should get married first!

The above are all from Hancock's inner monologue.

After an unknown amount of time, Hancock suddenly realized what had happened, pushed Carl away, and frantically straightened her cheongsam, which Carl had messed up.

She said shyly to Karl, "I'm sorry, Karl, I'm not ready yet..."

Seeing Carl's surprised expression, Hancock gritted her teeth: "If you're really feeling this way... I, I..."

Seeing Hancock's appearance, Carlton couldn't help but chuckle, and the restlessness in his heart gradually subsided.

"It's okay, there's still plenty of time ahead."

Hancock suddenly looked up, staring intently at Carl: "So, are we... a couple now?"

Upon hearing this question, Carl hesitated instinctively, and it was this hesitation that chilled Hancock's heart.

"So, you still despise me for being a lowly slave?"

Carl's eyes widened in shock. He wanted to ask Hancock what she was imagining, but he knew best what Hancock needed at this moment.
