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

"That's true, I'm a pirate, and you are... um~"

The roles were reversed, and this time Carl successfully took the initiative, releasing Hancock only when her heart was pounding wildly and she could barely breathe.

"Don't say things like that again! Do you hear me?"

Hancock nestled nestled in Carl's arms, letting out a soft moan, which could be considered a tacit agreement.

"My dear, the summons from Fleet Admiral Sengoku says I need to go to Naval Headquarters on January 5th to prepare for a meeting. There's still almost a week to go!"

"Why don't you stay here and keep me company for the next few days?"

Carl frowned: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"I just wanted to ask for your opinion! If you don't want to, then forget it."

Seeing Hancock's somewhat aggrieved expression, Carl smiled and kissed her on the pretty cheek.

Her words reminded Karl that there were indeed 7 days left until the Shichibukai meeting, and all the Shichibukai had to arrive a day in advance, leaving 4 days for travel.

These four days of slacking off can't be wasted!

That night, to avoid suspicion, Karl reluctantly refused the temptation to stay overnight at the palace and resolutely returned to the warship, choosing to share the hardships with his men.

Sharing joys and sorrows was never mentioned.

"Hey, isn't this Major General Karl? So you finally came back! Where are you?"

You could tell that Ain was harboring a lot of resentment; even her speech sounded a bit unnatural.

"who?"

Ain snorted coldly, pointed at the lipstick mark on Karl's face, and said in a cold voice, "You'd better wipe the lipstick mark off your face first!"

Nelson, who was eavesdropping nearby, gasped. No wonder they say Major General Karl is the most handsome man in the world! It seems that the handsome man has won over the beautiful woman.

Carl took the handkerchief that Ian tossed to him without changing his expression and wiped the lipstick mark off his face.

"Hey, isn't this the handkerchief you use to wipe your nose? You gave me this?"

Ain was stunned for a moment, then angrily said, "You're talking nonsense! Don't spout such rubbish!"

After stomping his foot, he walked back to the cabin with a clattering sound.

Seeing this, Karl couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "The kindness of a beautiful woman is the hardest to bear!"

Nelson burst out laughing when he heard that, but Carl noticed.

"why are you laughing?"

Nelson quickly covered his mouth, shook his head, and slunk away.

the next day.

Karl summoned all the marines except those in logistics for his daily address: "You are very lucky. Yesterday, the Empress of Amazon Lily, who is also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Boa Hancock, told me about it."

"You are permitted to enter Daughter Island to attend the banquet and celebrate the lifting of the Gorgon curse by the three Boa sisters."

"Now, remain silent and follow me ashore on Daughter Island. Don't make a fuss! Do you understand?"

"heard it!"

The naval officers and soldiers were extremely excited. This was the legendary island of women, a forbidden place for men!

Unexpectedly, they also had the opportunity to witness firsthand how awesome Major General Karl was (voice cracks)!

Standing next to Karl, Ain crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "Men!"

......

The Isle of Daughters is bustling with activity today, partly to celebrate the three Boa sisters breaking the Gorgon curse, and partly because a group of men have come to the Isle of Daughters.

This is no exaggeration. Those women who had never seen a man before didn't even need to act; they were all incredibly enthusiastic.

You should know that in the past, only the Kuja Pirates, who were the guardians of the nation, could accompany Lady Snake on expeditions and had the chance to see men.

In contrast, Nelson and the others blushed, displaying a daughterly demeanor, but their expressions held a hint of anticipation.

As for Aion, she simply treated it as a tourist trip, to experience the local customs and culture of Daughter Island.

......

As the female warriors dragged over one beast and sea king after another, which would be their food, the celebration banquet officially began.

Several bold women began to approach the navy, asking the sailors all sorts of questions. Led by the pioneers, more and more women joined the ranks.

In any case, Karl would absolutely not dare to personally get involved, otherwise, given his physique and appearance, he would probably be devoured without a trace.

However, that's unlikely. Hancock is quite protective of her food; at least on Amazon Lily, no one dares to take it from her.

At this very moment, Karl was standing on the palace terrace with Hancock's slender waist in his arms, enjoying the lively banquet not far away.

"Honey, can't we stay a few more days?"

Carl shook his head: "I'd like to too! But considering unforeseen circumstances, we have to leave earlier than planned."

"Ah~ what a pity. If only you could stay on Daughter Island with me forever."

Karl smiled slightly, without giving a direct response.

Chapter 65 Inexplicable

The following day, Hancock boarded a warship, preparing to head to Marineford.

"set off!"

"Yes..."

Although the voices were in unison, they were weak and listless, as if their bodies had been hollowed out.

Carl looked at Nelson, whose eyes were sunken, who was listless, and who was holding his waist, and couldn't help but chuckle. He walked over to him and sighed.

"Sigh~ Nelson, your health... isn't so good!"

When Carl shot him a regretful look, Nelson felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his face. A surge of anger rose in his heart. A man can't say no!

But he quickly came to terms with reality and comforted himself that it wasn't that he couldn't do it, but that the women of Daughter Island were all like wolves and tigers, sucking up the earth and devouring the stars.

Not just him, which marine besides Carl doesn't look like this?

"Blessing of Holy Light!"

Under the holy light, the naval officers and soldiers gradually regained their spirits, turning from listless to invigorated, just like they had taken a small pill.

Nelson was stunned; he never expected Major General Carl's abilities to have such amazing functions!

"Alright, everyone, perk up! I only have one requirement: get back to Naval Headquarters safely! Any questions?"

"no!"

"Very good, let's get to work!"

The Seastone warship sailed out of the port of Amazon Lily and headed towards Marineford. The naval officers and soldiers took one last, reluctant look at Amazon Lily, their eyes filled with longing.

lounge.

"Honey, you're finally back! I missed you so much!"

Carl closed the door, a smile appearing on his face, and sat down next to Hancock, playing with her long, dark hair.

"The journey might be a little boring, so don't get upset!"

Hancock wrinkled her nose, leaned on Carl's shoulder, and said, "How could I be! How could I be bored as long as you're here?"

bang~

The door to the lounge opened, and Ain walked in expressionlessly. She glanced at Hancock, who was clinging to Karl, and snorted coldly.

"How did she get here? Doesn't she have a room on the ship?"

Ain's arrival was ill-intentioned, and his target was Hancock.

To be honest, this was her first formal conversation with Hancock. They had only met a couple of days ago, and Hancock had petrified her.

Hancock frowned slightly and gripped Karl's arm tightly: "I can go wherever I want, what's it to you?"

After saying that, she turned to Karl and said in a charming and seductive tone, "Darling~ who is this fierce woman! Get her out of here!"

Karl was also feeling a chill run down his spine, inexplicably experiencing a chaotic situation. Recalling his interactions with Ain, Karl swore that he really hadn't done anything.

“Ayn, Hancock is my girlfriend. I asked her to stay here with me.”

Hancock's beautiful eyes darted around, giving Ain a provocative look before kissing Karl on the cheek.

Ain's face turned pale, and she clenched her fists so tightly that they cracked.

"Karl, you're a Marine, she's a pirate, how could you...?"

Hancock was immediately displeased by these words, her eyebrows furrowing as she retorted, "What do you mean I'm a pirate? My current status is that of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea! Go ask Sengoku if I'm a pirate or not!"

"You, you!!!"

Ain gritted her teeth, glared at Karl, and stormed off.

Karl sighed, feeling somewhat helpless. Why did he have to go through a hellish situation before he even had a chance to build a harem?

Cheng-ge, what do you think?
