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

"Gah! (Really?)"

After flying for another hour, they finally saw the territory of the Kingdom of Whole Cake Island. Karl instructed the raven to land at the rendezvous point—Liqueur Island, an island themed around liqueurs, located in the southwest of Whole Cake Island.

According to intelligence, this is an island managed by the Minister of Wine, Zickert. Karl's arrival went unnoticed because he had already disguised himself by wearing a mask that covered half of his face.

As for clothing, it's a medieval aristocratic style, making him look like a prince at a masquerade ball at first glance. This kind of outfit is not uncommon in the world.

"The meeting place is at the Mosina Tavern, by the window. I'll be holding a broken rose as a token..."

Karl stroked his chin, thinking to himself, "That's quite meticulous. Could it be the work of the CP department?"

Chapter 118 Stussy

Mosina Tavern.

Carl sat quietly by the window, a glass of fruit wine in front of him, and a rose that seemed about to break beside him.

"Tsk, why isn't he here yet? Is Yuanzi lying to me?"

Just then, a woman walked out the window, winked at Karl, pointed to the roses next to the fruit wine, and then quickly turned her head away, pretending nothing had happened.

Karl understood immediately, placed Bailey on the table, and left the Mosina Tavern.

After seeing Karl come out, the woman walked straight away without saying hello to him, and Karl had no choice but to follow.

Follow her through the streets and alleys until they reach a deserted corner. The woman stops, tears off her mask, and reveals a beautiful face.

"I never expected that the person sent by the Navy would be you, Vice Admiral Karl."

"Oh? I was only promoted to lieutenant general yesterday, and you already know that today?"

Stussy covered her mouth and giggled, "Nothing in the world can be hidden from CP0."

Karl asked with a curious look, "Where is the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army?"

Stussy immediately fell silent, rolled her eyes at Karl, then turned around, her clothes falling off one by one...

Okay, it's basically just changing clothes.

Now, Stussy is wearing a pink dress and a white shawl, blue high heels with bow decorations, bright nail polish on her fingers and toes, short blonde curly hair, blue eyes, and lipstick.

She was elegant and beautiful, wearing a top hat adorned with a delicate rose.

See, that's what you call professional!

"Lieutenant General Karl, from this moment on, you are my servant. As for your name, you don't need to change it."

servant?

Carl picked at his ear: "What did you just say? Say it again?"

Stussy chuckled, "Don't be so nervous. It's just an identity. You don't want to be recognized by the people of Big Mom, do you?"

Zheng~

Karl lowered his head and stroked the Raven's blade, saying casually, "I think the bodyguard role would be better, what do you think?"

Looking at the gleaming blade, Stussy shrugged: "I just can't do anything with you!"

Carl and Stussy then boarded her Queen of Pleasure together and headed to Cake Island.

"Once we get to Whole Cake Island, you must not say anything carelessly. If you are exposed because of this, I will expose you immediately."

Carl nodded silently: "Don't worry, no one is better at acting than me. At worst, I'll just stay silent."

"Anyway, I'm just here to watch the show."

Stussy raised an eyebrow, a playful smile on his face: "Watching the show, do you think the Red-Haired Pirates are definitely going to fight Big Mom?"

Karl nodded and then said, "I've looked at the Red-Haired Pirates' information. They've challenged the Beasts Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates, and they've always managed to escape unscathed."

"To be honest, they already have the strength to become the next maritime overlord. As long as they prove once again that they have the power to rival the maritime overlord, they will definitely become the fourth emperor of the sea."

Smoker nodded as if he understood, thinking to himself that this guy, who was called the most handsome man in the world, was not just a pretty face!

At least their intelligence is on point, but their actual abilities... remain to be seen.

However, since he has become a lieutenant general in the headquarters, his strength should not be too bad.

"Gah! Ah! (I'm hungry)"

Karl looked helplessly at the raven on his shoulder: "Why are you hungry so quickly? Miss Stussy, do you have anything to eat?"

Stussy nodded, signaled his men to bring a pile of food, and looked with interest at the raven on Karl's shoulder.

"Is this... an ability weapon?"

Karl smiled slightly: "That's right, Dr. Vegapunk made it for me personally." As he spoke, Karl kept his eyes fixed on Stussy's eyes out of the corner of his eye.

A hint of tension flashed in Stussy's eyes, but it quickly disappeared without a trace. If Karl hadn't been watching closely, he probably wouldn't have noticed it.

"I see. It seems you're quite familiar with Dr. Vegapunk! After all, he personally crafted such a powerful weapon for you!"

Carl pursed his lips and said dismissively, "He's alright, he's a decent guy."

Stussy pursed his lips, didn't reply, and turned to look into the distance.

Suddenly, Carl said abruptly, "Miss Stussy looks familiar. Do you know a woman named Miss Bakin?"

Stussy's heart began to pound. Why, why did Karl know about this woman!

"What Ba Jin? How could I possibly know her? Does she look a lot like me?"

Carl shook his head: "Not really, but she has blond hair like you, and her full name seems to be Baggins Stussy. You two aren't mother and daughter, are you?"

Stussy's face immediately turned ugly, and he stammered, "I don't know, it might just be a coincidence!"

"Phew~ I'm relieved then. After all, I killed that old woman with my own hands. If she were related to you, I would be in a difficult position!"

"Oh, by the way, she also had a son named Edward Weevil, who is also dead. Do you know him?"

Stussy took a deep breath, regained his composure, and said coldly, "I don't know you. I'm sorry, I'm feeling a little unwell..."

Stussy then quickly left, leaving Karl alone for what felt like an eternity.

"I thought you were so professional? You're still too green to try and trick me into talking."

On the surface, Stussy is a CP0 agent, but in reality, she is also the first clone created by MADS. She was ordered to infiltrate CP0, which means she is a spy within a spy. Karl doesn't care what she wants to do; he just wants her to stay away from him.

Back in her cabin, Stussy's expression changed. Years of espionage experience told her that Karl must know something, otherwise he wouldn't have said something so pointed.

Could it be that she's been exposed?

No, he was testing the waters too. It's hard to say whether he's friend or foe, considering his attitude towards Vegapunk...

After struggling with the decision for a long time, Stussy took a deep breath and put the jumbled thoughts to the back of his mind.

"Sigh! Never mind. Anyway, my mission is complete once I help him get to Whole Cake Island. Wait, what if he causes trouble..."

Stussy suddenly realized that this mission was a bit troublesome, and she might even be exposed.

Chapter 119 Charlotte Linlin

in the afternoon.

The Queen of Joy arrives at Cake Island, an island made up of large cakes and cream, resembling a multi-layered cake.

Stussy was the first to disembark, glancing at Karl in his bodyguard uniform with a slight smile.

“Ms. Stussy, your mother has been waiting for you for a long time. Please get in the car! Oh, and who is this…?”

"This is my bodyguard, ignore him."

"oh oh!"

Carl then followed Stucky into the pumpkin carriage and headed towards the heart of Whole Cake Island.

After getting into the car, Stussy looked around and whispered to Carl, "Let me emphasize this again, no matter what you want to do, you must not reveal your identity."

"Don't worry, I'm a professional."

"I...you'd better remember what you said." After gritting her teeth and saying this, Stussy turned her head away, no longer wanting to speak to Karl.

They traveled in silence and soon arrived at the castle, the residence of Charlotte Linlin, the sea tyrant.

Carl got out of the car first, walked to Stusi's side, and opened the car door for her.

Stussy's lips curled up slightly as she reached out her hand, which Karl gently took, and helped her down from the carriage.

"Miss Stussy, Mother will be here soon. We still have to greet other guests, so we'll have to go now. Goodbye!"

Goodbye, thank you!

Stussy waved goodbye with a radiant smile, perfectly embodying the demeanor of a lady. At first glance, it was impossible to tell that this woman was actually the queen of the pleasure district.

Not long after...

"Bang bang bang~"

A sudden, earth-shaking tremor, like a magnitude 4 earthquake, was followed by the slow emergence of a massive figure.

She had long, wavy pink hair, thick lipstick, and light purple eyeshadow. She wore a pirate hat, a large pink dress, and was overweight.

The moment he saw Stusi, he immediately smiled and opened his blood-red mouth.
