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

"Okay!"

Afterwards, Ain left the lounge directly, showing no trace of the tense standoff from the previous day.

Hancock only felt that Ain was a little strange, but she didn't think much of it and assumed that Ain had already admitted defeat.

"Here you are, my dear. By the way, what exactly is the purpose of that Seven Warlords of the Sea meeting? How will it affect me?"

Karl wasn't sure about the issue either, and could only say, "It might affect the power of the Seven Warlords, but not too much. The main problem is that some of the Seven Warlords have gone too far recently."

Hancock quickly replied, "My dear, it's not me! I haven't been out at sea lately!"

"Of course I'm not talking about you, I'm mainly referring to Mihawk and Moria, and maybe Doflamingo too!"

"What happened to them?"

Karl shrugged: "Doflamingo doesn't know, but Mihawk and Moria want to do something to me, especially Mihawk. Just thinking about him makes me angry!"

Hancock panicked upon hearing this and immediately asked, "What! What did he do to you?"

"It's none of your business."

Speaking of which, among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, only Kuma, Crocodile, Doflamingo, and Jinbe are people he hasn't dealt with yet, but the completion rate of the mission "Don't fight your own people" is really low.

Carl has given up hope on this series of missions; whatever happens, happens!

tired.

Chapter 67 Arrival at Headquarters

The sun was blazing.

A sea stone warship slowly sailed into Crescent Bay, docked, dropped anchor, and lowered its stairs.

"We're finally here!"

Carl sighed and said to Nelson and Ian behind him, "Nelson, the ship's maintenance is in your hands now. Take a rest after everything is done."

Nelson gave a crisp military salute: "Yes, sir!"

"Ain, wait here for a moment." "Okay!"

After saying that, Carl went into Hancock's private room, preparing to take her to Navy Headquarters.

Knock knock knock!

"Hancock, baby? Are you done yet?"

"Honey, wait a minute!"

After confirming that she still looked beautiful, Hancock turned to Salome beside her and asked, "Do I look pretty?"

Salome dared not object and quickly nodded. Only then was Hancock satisfied and let it follow her out.

The door opened, and Hancock, dressed in classic attire, walked out. Carl smiled and said, "You look beautiful today!"

Hancock blushed; she was clearly pleased with Carl's praise.

"Honey, I'm glad you like it!"

"Then let's go! Remember, after we get off the ship, don't call me 'darling,' call me Major General Karl, and I'll call you Ms. Hancock, understand?"

Hancock's face immediately turned somewhat sullen: "Oh! I understand~"

In fact, given her current mindset, she should let the whole world know that Karl is the man she loves and that they are a couple. It's just a pity that Karl seems to have some reservations.

"Let's go!"

And so, Carl stood beside Hancock like a bodyguard, walking with her off the warship, while Ain followed behind.

A patrolling marine's pupils constricted upon seeing Hancock: "Huh! That's... that's... Boa Hancock, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea! So, all the Seven Warlords of the Sea are coming?"

Another marine exclaimed with hearts in his eyes, "Yeah! The first one to arrive was the Shichibukai, that tyrant Bartholomew Kuma, and then this one came. She's so beautiful!"

"No wonder she's the world's most beautiful woman!"

As for Ain and Karl beside Hancock, they were completely ignored. There's no way around it; Hancock's charm is just that unreasonable.

This is why Carl didn't let Hancock show up on the way back to Navy Headquarters.

As they got closer to the Navy Headquarters building, more and more people gathered to watch, making Hancock look like she was walking a red carpet.

"My God! She's so beautiful!" "Yeah! Don't you think she and Major General Karl look so good together!"

"One is the world's most handsome man, and the other is the world's most beautiful woman. If they were together! Wow, I'm so excited!"

Hancock seemed to have heard this too, and gave Carl a tender look, but Carl just stared straight ahead, pretending not to know anything.

After finally arriving at the headquarters building, the number of onlookers behind them decreased significantly, while the number of naval personnel increased.

"Hello, you must be Ms. Boa Hancock, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea! I am the Chief of Staff of the Navy, Tsuru. You can call me Chief of Staff Tsuru. Welcome to Marineford."

Although Staff Officer He said "welcome," her expression and tone revealed no genuine welcome.

This is actually quite normal. A large portion of the Navy's high command already dislikes the Seven Warlords system, and in their eyes, the so-called Seven Warlords are just pirates.

It's impossible to expect them to give you a friendly look!

Hancock wasn't stupid; she could naturally hear the coldness in Staff Officer Crane's tone. Although she was angry, she gradually understood Karl's intentions.

"When will the Shichibukai meeting begin? I can't just stand here waiting forever, can I?"

Staff Officer He said calmly, "Don't worry about that. Naval Headquarters will certainly not neglect guests who have come from afar."

Sui took out a document and handed it to Carl: "This is Miss Hancock's VIP room. Please take her there!"

"Miss Hancock, since you arrived early, please wait patiently for a while until all the Shichibukai members have arrived before the meeting can begin."

Hancock nodded slightly, expressionless, and pointed to Carl beside her, saying, "While we wait, I want him to serve me."

Staff Officer He frowned: "That's impossible. There will be someone to serve you when you get to the VIP room. Karl is a major general in headquarters. He has no such obligation."

"I don't care about that. I only know him. If anyone else dares to barge into my room, they will bear the consequences!"

Faced with such an unreasonable staff officer, Staff Officer Hancock was also helpless and could only give Carl a look, letting him figure it out for himself.

Carlton immediately understood and said coldly, "I can grant your request, but remember, I won't do anything too outrageous!"

Ain, watching the two acting out their roles, scoffed inwardly. "They're really putting on quite a show! Acting out their own drama right here."

Since Karl had agreed, Staff Officer Tsuru didn't say anything, but whispered to Karl, "Thank you for your hard work! After you take her to the VIP room, remember to report to Sengoku."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll be right there!"

......

After escorting Hancock to the VIP room and closing the door, Hancock immediately stopped acting and threw herself into Carl's arms.

"My dear, would you like to stay here with me today?"

"No problem, but I need to go and report to Zhan Guo first. Can you stay here for a while?"

Hancock nodded understandingly, closed her big eyes, tilted her head back, and pouted. Carl chuckled softly and put his arm around Hancock's slender waist...

Ten minutes later, in the Marshal's office.

"Karl, you're here! Please have a seat."

After Karl sat down, Sengoku clasped his hands together and looked at Karl with a smile: "You did a great job. Hancock is a tough one to deal with. I didn't expect you to be able to bring her to Marine Headquarters so quickly."

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

Carl nodded seriously. Of course! He's so clingy! If Hancock hadn't been unprepared, he probably would have come in holding his back.

"I just heard Xiao He mention it. I'll be troubling you these next few days."

Karl immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry! Marshal Zhan Guo, I guarantee she'll stay here peacefully until the meeting ends."

Upon hearing this, Sengoku nodded in satisfaction: "After the meeting, send her back to Daughter Island, and you can rest."

"You've been busy fighting pirates for the past few months and haven't had a proper rest. It's necessary for you to relax a bit."

"How about this! I'll grant you a month-long vacation. You can go wherever you want, except for the New World! What do you say?"

Carlton was immediately shocked? A vacation! A whole month's vacation!

If this were Garp, he'd probably be so happy he'd be snotting up, but Karl was heartbroken and couldn't breathe!

Why? Because holidays don't count towards the time allotted for slacking off!

I accepted the mission in Chapter 68.

Carl immediately panicked and jumped to his feet.

"Marshal Sengoku, pirates are rampant on the high seas, committing atrocities everywhere. As a rear admiral, how can I go on vacation with a clear conscience?"

"Therefore, I voluntarily give up my vacation and dedicate my limited life to the endless fight against evil!"

Sengoku looked at the righteous and awe-inspiring Karl, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

What kind of spirit is this? Karl is truly a naval officer with a heart for the world and a strong sense of justice!

If every sailor could be like Karl, how could the seas not be peaceful?

He used to worry that Kizaru would lead Karl astray, but Karl remained untainted by the mud and remained untainted by his surroundings!
