It had been more than half a month since he left Malinfando. Although Karl hadn't spent much time in Malinfando, he still missed that place.
What was the reason? There were no blood relatives there, nor was it his true hometown, but this kind of longing existed.
It was even more precious to have relatives who were not related by blood. Even if it was not his real hometown, it was a place he cared about. One day, this place would become his hometown.
Standing at the bow of the ship, Carl could already see the port of Marlin Fando.
Even though Shiki had destroyed the place, Marlin Fando still stood there stubbornly. Even though this was the second time he had done so, he was still shocked.
The era of the great pirates might be the era of pirates, but it was also the era of the navy. There would be countless navies coming forward wave after wave to capture those evil pirates.
The navy represented justice. Even if this justice hid some evil, it could not cover up his justice. Nothing was truly perfect.
The righteous navy had people who were afraid of death, corrupt, and greedy.
There were also people who were righteous and yearned for freedom and adventure among the cruel pirates.
The dog-headed ship had already arrived at the port. Carl saw the crane waiting for him below, so he waved his little hands excitedly, then got off the ship and ran towards the crane.
"Granny, I miss you so much. Did you miss me?"
He hugged the crane's legs. He was not trying to curry favor with the crane, but he really missed the other party. The person who adopted him really treated him as a real grandson.
"Of course I miss Carl."
Crane patted Carl's head and smiled. She used to be alone at home, and she had been used to it for decades. Carl had only joined her family not long ago, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't be able to get used to it after leaving for a few days. She always felt that the house was empty.
Decades of habits had changed because of Karl's brief existence.
Humans were like this. When you were used to loneliness, you felt that it was nothing. However, when you had family and returned to loneliness, you would realize that this loneliness would make you silent.
"Your hat?"
Crane narrowed his eyes and looked at the familiar dog-headed hat on Carl's head.
" It's old man Karp. How is it? Don't I look good wearing it?"
It was a little funny for an old man like Karp to wear a dog-headed hat, but for a child like Carl, he looked very cute with a dog-headed hat. He could instantly kill more than 90% of the big sisters.
Take Zhi Yuan for example. Ever since he put on the dog-headed hat, the frequency of her pinching his face had obviously increased.
"Yeah," she said.
Crane nodded.
" I heard that you've become Karp's disciple on the ship," Crane said.
At this moment, Karp had already walked down and was eating immortal shells. He happened to hear Crane's words, so he laughed proudly and said," This brat has good taste. He cried and begged me to teach him. I was annoyed by him, so I took him in."
Carl rolled his eyes at his shameless words. He didn't want to argue with the old man anymore, lest he got beaten up again. He took out a bag of immortal shells from the bag on his back and started eating.
Wearing a dog-headed hat and eating immortal shells, he looked cute, but he did not think so in his heart. His obedient grandson had only gone out with Karp for a few days, and he had already become like this. If he were to be taught by Karp...
He thought about how Karl would laugh whenever he grew up, sleep while standing up, eat food in the meeting room, be careless, and be unrestrained when he grew up.
It was a far cry from the dignified, disciplined, and resourceful image he had imagined in the past.
"Cut! Pu!"
Carl watched in bewilderment as Karp suddenly turned into clothes, caught by the crane with a clamp, and hung on the railing. Karp was floating in the wind.
" Let him cool for two days. No one can help him," Crane said with a straight face.
The people around nodded. Even Karp's son, Dragon, agreed. Carl could even see a hidden smile on Karp's serious face.
As the saying went, one thing could defeat another. Karp was a troublemaker in the navy. He was not afraid of Marshal Kong, nor was he afraid of General Zhan Guo. Others could even attack whoever they wanted. He could be said to be the overlord of the navy.
However, he was a cowardly crane. Normally, he would not show anything, but once the crane was angry, Karp would become a quail. Of course, the Sengoku would also become a quail.
Carl had suspected more than once that there might have been a story between the three of them when they were young. Although Karp got married later, who knew if he got married because he couldn't get Crane and was disappointed.
Karp's popularity was immediately shown. There were so many people around him, whether it was his son Dragon, his deputy general Bogart, or his disciple Carl, who he forced to acknowledge, none of them spoke up for Karp.
The first two even felt that two days was a little too little. At the very least, they would let him cool for four to five days to wash away the evil thoughts in his heart.
"Let's go. Grandma will make you something delicious tonight."
" Jiyuan, you come too."
" No thanks, Sister Crane. I'll eat at home tonight." Zhiyuan shook her head.
Jiyuan had a good relationship with Crane, so they addressed each other as sisters. Of course, in Carl's opinion, the age difference between the two was still quite big.
" Zhiyuan, you're finally back. You have no idea how much I missed you when you weren't around. I've become thinner." Jiaji rushed over from a distance and looked at Zhiyuan with a face full of eagerness.
"When you say this, wipe the grease off the corner of your mouth."
Jiyuan looked at Jiaji with a headache. Could he be more careful when he lied?
"I booked a restaurant for tonight. How about we have dinner together?"
Jia Ji's skin had already thickened to a certain extent. Even though Jiyuan had exposed his lie, he did not panic at all and continued to pursue Jiyuan as planned.
Crane pulled Carl's hand and was about to leave, ignoring the clown. She had seen this kind of scene many times. When she passed by Jia Ji, Carl kicked Jia Ji's calf and then patted his butt.
" This brat, even though I haven't seen him for a while, he's still so annoying," Jia Ji muttered as he rubbed his calf.
" Of course, Zhiyuan. I haven't seen you in a while, and you're getting prettier and prettier."
In the evening, Crane cooked a feast for Carl. He was very good at cooking. The dishes he cooked were not at all comparable to those chefs outside. In fact, they were even better than those chefs.
After training with Karp for a while, Carl's body didn't have any obvious changes. However, his appetite had increased. Almost all the dishes on the table had gone into his stomach.
Looking at Carl's eating habits, he was a lot rougher than before he went out with Karp.
Crane pondered. Sure enough, two days of cool kapu was still too little. Look at what he had done to his grandson. If this continued, he would probably become the second kapu.
