— "Caw!" —
The raven on Karl's shoulder looked at the watermeat before it and let out an eerie cry, hinting at Karl with its red eyes. Goluboy also turned its head to look at the watermeat, licking its lips.
— "I'll take all the watermeat," Karl shouted proudly to the boss after just winning 5 million Berries.
The face of the plump female boss beamed: — "Yes, Sir, just a moment, I'll pack it all up for you right away!"
Eating watermeat, sipping a special drink, and admiring the unique scenery, Karl couldn't help but sigh that the life of a Marine is just this: simple and uneventful.
— "Galoula Shipyard?" —
Glancing at the name of the shipyard, Karl fell into deep thought. It seems that Iceberg has not yet unified the shipyard of the City of Seven Waters, so the CP9 team would naturally not be hiding here.
Bloop bloop~.
— "It's me, Karl."
— "Colonel, pirates have landed on Shipwreck Island, but they are not the Flame Pirates."
— "Who are they? Judging by the pirate flag, they should be the White Wolf Pirates, Captain White Wolf Wolf, with a bounty of 43.5 million Berries."
— "I'll be there soon, keep an eye on them."
— "Yes, Sir."
Karl patted the raven on his shoulder and quietly said: — "You're up!"The Raven nodded and soared into the sky. Its body gradually grew larger, reaching the size of a buffalo. Karl nodded with satisfaction and used Moon Step to climb onto the Raven's back.
— "Let's fly!" — "Caw!" —
The Raven carried Karl over the Seven Waters and soon reached Shipwreck Island. Karl saw the pirate ship docked at the shore and patted the Raven on the head.
— "There, land here!" —
Shipwreck Island.
— "Boss, is this the City of Water seven ? What a prosperous place! There must be a lot of money here!" —
Captain Wolf irritably tapped his younger brother on the head: — "Fool, we came here to change ships, not to cause trouble!"
— "And if we attract the Marines, how can we escape on this wrecked ship?" —
The younger brother quickly covered his head and said, "Yes, yes, yes, the boss is wise."
Wolf nodded with satisfaction and called his men to disembark on Shipwreck Island, preparing to enter the City of Seven Waters as discreetly as possible.
"Boss! What's that in the sky? Is it an eagle, a black eagle?"
Wolf reached out to shield his eyes from the sun and squinted up at the sky.
"No, there are people up there, everyone be on alert!!!"
"Gah!"
The Raven began to descend. At about 30 meters high, Karl jumped off the bird's back and landed with a crash in front of the wary pirates.
"Captain White Wolf Wolf, bounty on your head is 43.5 million Berries, Vice-Captain Black Wolf Duff, bounty on your head is 18 million Berries. I inform you of this on behalf of the marine corps."
"You are surrounded, surrender!"
Wolf flinched and looked around, but saw nothing. There was only debris around. Where was the marines?
"Boss, there's no one around. He's trying to scare us!"
"Damn marine corps, kill him!"
Following Wolf's orders, his crew raised their guns, aimed at Karl without hesitation, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang bang bang~"
Ding ding ding~.
Karl couldn't be bothered to dodge the bullets, so he simply covered his entire body with the armed Haki to block them.
"What kind of power is this, that it can block bullets?"
Wolf was stunned. He was so ignorant he didn't even know what Haki was. He just assumed that Karl, like him, had the power of a Devil Fruit.
The other pirates were naturally confused as well. They only felt that Karl's power was limitless. Even the best guns couldn't harm him. How strong could he be?
"How rude!"
Karl slowly extended his right hand, and the raven landed on it, transforming into a long black sword with realistic wings on the hilt.
"Are you ready to die, pirates?"
As soon as the words were spoken, Karl swung horizontally, and a massive golden flying slash descended upon the White Wolf Pirates.
White Wolf growled instinctively and dropped to the ground, but the others were not so lucky.
All that could be heard were screams as the standing pirates were cut in half, and the pirate ship docked behind them was also sliced, its upper part slowly sinking into the sea, splashing water.
"No! No, my crew!"
Wolf cried out in grief upon seeing the tragic scene behind him and looked at Karl with horror. If the beast hadn't saved his life just now, he would have been just like his subordinates.
"Hey, you truly deserve to be a captain! You're really good, aren't you a capable person? Boasting?"
"Don't look down on me, marine! You'll pay for looking down on me!!!"
"Awooo~"
Wolf roared and transformed into a majestic white wolf. The giant wolf looked at Karl with green eyes, devoid of any emotion.
"I'll eat your flesh, drink your blood, and avenge my brothers! Go to hell!"
Karl slightly smiled, and his figure suddenly disappeared, reappearing in front of Wolf and slashing him with his sword.
"Aaahh~ It hurts so much!"
Wolf's body involuntarily dropped to the ground because Karl had severed his front paws.
"I am Karl, colonel of the marine headquarters. You are under arrest!"
A simple animal ability user was defeated in seconds by Karl. It must be said that the Raven sword is truly remarkable. In Karl's view, it is on par with a great blade.
"Moshi-moshi, the pirates are dealt with. Come over!"
Informing the marines, Karl remained on the spot, looking at the Blue Sea, unable to resist swinging a few more flying slashes to see how far they could travel.
Watching the flying slashes disappear, Karl involuntarily shook his head. It was too far to gauge the distance.
By this time, the marines stationed near the shipwreck island had already arrived. Even though many of them had already seen everything through telescopes, they were still slightly repulsed as they went inside.
Bloodstains and remains were everywhere, and in the eyes looking at Karl, there was a hint of fear. Colonel Karl appeared quite kind, but he was ruthless, even cruel, towards pirates.
— "Colonel, did you do all this?" —
Karl shrugged: — "Who else? Capture that guy. By the way, he's a devil fruit user. Don't forget to put stone handcuffs on him."
— "Yes, Sir!" —
Nelson's face was serious as he quickly called the soldiers to subdue Wolf and take him away.
— "Sir, what should we do with this pirate ship and the bodies?" —
Karl patted Nelson on the shoulder and said: — "You're already a seasoned marine. You need to learn to solve problems on your own."
After that, Karl majestically headed towards the City of Waters seven and then played music and danced.
Nelson was initially taken aback but then became very enthusiastic. Colonel Karl trusted him so much, he shouldn't let him down.
— "You, go and throw these pirates' bodies into the sea!" —
— "You, gather the loot before the pirate ship sinks!" —
— "Yes, Lieutenant Nelson!" —
