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

"It's Stussy! That's great! Long time no see, Mommy, Mommy~"

"Lingling, it's been a long time. You're still as beautiful as ever."

The middle-aged woman covered her mouth and let out a chilling laugh: "Mommy, Mommy~ your mouth is still so sweet! Rest here for today! The tea party doesn't start until tomorrow!"

"Of course, I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman burst into laughter again, her fat jiggling. Karl quickly lowered his head, feeling a bit embarrassed by the sight.

"Oh, who is this...?"

Stussy immediately gave Karl a look, signaling him to be quiet, then smiled faintly and said, "This is my bodyguard."

The older woman glanced at Carl, feeling he looked vaguely familiar, as if she'd seen him somewhere before—in the newspaper? She couldn't quite place it…

Feeling the middle-aged woman staring intently at him, Karl broke out in a cold sweat, fearing he had been discovered.

It's not that I'm afraid of being beaten to death by the old lady, but I'm afraid... never mind, I won't say it, it's creepy even to myself.

The woman then chatted with Stusi for a while until the next customer arrived, at which point Stusi was finally free.

Throughout this period, Carl played the role of a cold-blooded bodyguard, remaining silent and trying to minimize his presence.

"Gentlemen, this is the room your mother has prepared for you. You can wait for the tea party to begin, or you can go out and play at any time."

After saying that, Homies skipped away, leaving Stusky and Carl behind.

Stussy pushed open the door and, as he was about to go in, said to Karl, "There are sentries everywhere here. Don't make any rash moves."

Carl nodded helplessly. This sister was just too afraid that he would cause trouble!

"Alright, alright, I know, stop being so fussy."

slap~

Carl went into his room, closed the door, jumped onto the bed, closed his eyes, and the raven at his waist slowly transformed into its animal form and flew out the window.

The shadow vision began to exert its power.

Ravens circled above Whole Cake Island, and with the help of shared vision, Carl silently memorized the terrain, getting a pretty good feel for the island's various locations.

Then, the raven began to descend and venture deeper into the Cake Castle, which was Big Mom's lair.

Just as it landed by the window, a Homie noticed the raven's presence and scratched its head: "You scared me to death! It was just a raven!"

After a brief stay, Karl immediately steered the raven away from there to another location to continue his observation.

The purpose was to find the old lady's secret room.

It took Karl about half an hour to finally find the unusual spot.

"right here!"

It wasn't a particularly hidden door, but guards would occasionally come and go, and Karl only discovered it after passing by twice.

The only problem is how to get in?

After waiting for a long time without any opportunity, Karl had no choice but to withdraw his shadow vision and let the raven return.

It's still early, so we can't take advantage of the raven's species now. We'll wait until it gets dark.

The sea of ​​all nations.

Lucky Roux pointed happily to the desserts not far away and said, "Captain, is this Treasure Country? It's just like the legends say! There's delicious food everywhere!"

"Haha, this place is all desserts! Don't you love meat the most?"

Raki Lu scratched his head and chuckled, "You're right, but having a dessert once in a while isn't bad!"

"Shanks, it's getting late. Shall we continue sailing?"

The speaker wore sunglasses, had grayish-blue hair, wore a white shirt, and had a red dragon tattoo on his right neck. He was the navigator of the Red-Haired Pirates.

Shanks shook his head: "No rush, let's stay here for the night, Snake."

Bendick Snake nodded and began instructing his men to drop anchor.

Then, a banquet was held on the ship, and the ship was filled with laughter and joy. Nothing could stop them from having a feast.

"You're really not in a hurry at all! Do you really think you can get out of that old lady's territory unscathed?"

Shanks laughed heartily, "I'm not sure, but I want to give it a try. Besides, I still have you guys, don't I?"

Beckman laughed heartily, "Yes! They are one!"

As night fell, Karl, having finished his meal, immediately went to bed and piloted the raven out the window.

The raven, entirely black, blended almost completely into the night; no, the night was its domain.

He easily made his way to the window near the secret room and waited quietly for his chance.

Ten minutes, thirty minutes, one hour, two hours...

Finally, at 2 a.m., the opportunity came!

Taking advantage of the guards not closing the door properly, Raven swooped down, then transformed into its blade form and entered the secret room. It then quickly transformed into its animal form and hid in a corner.

Great, no one noticed.

The raven tiptoed into the secret chamber, landing in an inconspicuous corner. It looked around and took in everything in the chamber.

Lying in bed with his eyes closed, Karl exclaimed, "Wow, there's so much good stuff!"

Unfortunately, I can't take any of it with me.

Chapter 120 The Tea Party Begins

Inside the sealed room, the raven found its way, then leaped suddenly, landing above the chandelier.

Directly in front of you is a huge red stone tablet.

However, it was locked inside the prison, and it was almost impossible to retrieve it without alerting others, so the only option was to make a copy of it.

After instructing the raven not to move, Karl immediately got out of bed, took out a large sheet of white paper from the system space, closed his eyes, and used his brainpower to trace the main text of the road sign history.

As time went by, the blank paper was quickly filled. After checking that there were no errors, Karl stored the rubbings in the system space. Although he couldn't use them for the time being, they would definitely come in handy.

After all, we've come all this way, we can't just leave empty-handed, can we?

"Thanks a lot!"

"Gaga! (I want to eat!)"

Carl was prepared for this, and took out a dessert he had prepared in advance and placed it on the ground: "Eat up!"

The next day.

bang bang bang~

"You can really sleep! What were you doing last night?"

"None of your business. Has the tea party started?"

"The Red-Haired Pirates are coming soon. Didn't you want to watch the show?"

Karl's expression turned serious. He quickly checked his attire and, after confirming that everything was in order, followed Stuart to the tea party.

This is a garden, surrounded by busy staff and Homies, but the main character, the auntie, hasn't arrived yet.

"Miss Stussy, this is your seat. You may take your seat once the tea party begins."

"Thank you."

Stussy nudged Karl in the ribs with his elbow and said with a forced smile, "You can stay here and do whatever you want, don't come looking for me."

After finishing his sentence, Stussy immediately walked over to a tall man carrying what looked like a scythe of death and began chatting and laughing with him.

Carl looked around and spotted several men dressed similarly to him standing in one spot. His eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over.

"Oh, are you a bodyguard too? Who's your boss?"

Karl remained silent, coldly pointing at Stusi, who was talking to the Funeral King.

"What? Stussy, when did she start hiring bodyguards? Sigh~ I'm so envious of you, bro!"

Carl gave him a strange look: "What are you envious of?"

The burly bodyguard grinned lewdly: "Miss Stussy is the queen of Pleasure Street! You know Pleasure Street, right? Slurp~ The women there are all the best of the best!"

"It's just a bunch of people, nothing to envy."

The burly bodyguard said with exasperation, "You really don't know how lucky you are! Sigh! I can't be bothered talking to you anymore!"

Cake Island Port.

A pirate ship with a red dragon head slowly came to a stop and dropped anchor.

The group of officers followed Shanks off the ship and landed on Whole Cake Island.

"Welcome to Whole Cake Island, Shanks. Mom has been waiting for you for a long time."

Shanks nodded calmly and said casually, "We're not late, are we?"

"The tea party is about to begin. You've come at the perfect time. Please follow me!"

Shanks glanced at Beckman and said with a smile, "Then I'll leave it to you. By the way, what's your name again?"
