"Warship?"
Carl looked ahead.
On the horizon in the distance, a small black dot slowly enlarged.
"It really is a naval warship…" Karl muttered.
However, since it was a warship, it did not matter. At least it would not be an enemy.
After a while, the two ships came to a stop as they approached.
Carl, who was resting on the recliner with his eyes closed, also opened his eyes and looked over. Why is it you, old man!"
" Hahaha." On the deck of the warship not far away, there was a burst of exaggerated laughter.
A tall old man wearing a dog-headed hat stood on the deck." Carl, you really joined the navy."”
" Old man Karp," Carl took a deep breath," why did you come back to the East China Sea?"”
Then, he saw Monca tied up on Karp's boat.
"Alright, I know why you came back.”
Carl rubbed his temples. Moreover, Monca could not perform the big show of chopping Karp with his axe this time because his right arm had already been cut off by Carl.
"By the way, Karl, have you received the notice from Colonel Josh?”Karp suddenly thought of something and asked Carl.
"Notify? What notice?" Carl was confused." You're not talking about the notice from the overlord of the East Sea, Klick, right?”
" How is that possible?" Karp put a piece of immortal shell into his mouth and chewed on it." I'm talking about something else."”
Carl raised his eyebrows. That was true. The Overlord of the Eastern Sea with a bounty of 17 million was probably not even a small fry in Karp's eyes. Why would he deliberately pay attention to him?
"Then what are you talking about? Other than that, I didn't receive any news.”
" Well, you'll know soon enough anyway, so I'll just tell you directly." Karp swallowed the immortal shell in his mouth and smiled." The headquarters recruited you. To be precise, it was that old fellow from the War Country who recruited you."”
"Because of your strength, he seems to be planning to recall you back to the headquarters first before considering the subsequent arrangements.”
Carl was still a little stunned. After a while, his eyes widened." Huh? Recruit me?"
" Why are you looking at me?" Karp looked innocent." I didn't expose your strength."”
" Who else could it be?!" Carl gritted his teeth and glared at him." Other than you, who else knows about me?!"”
" You can't say that." A strange smile appeared on Karp's face." Did you fight with Hawkeye, Jorakol Mihawk, one of the Seven Seas of Martial Arts?"”
“...”
Carl's pupils constricted and he lost his voice." Could it be…"
" Yes, yes." Karp nodded." It's what you think."”
" That's impossible. Hawkeye is not a blabbermouth." Karl's eyes were full of suspicion." Hey, old man, did you frame him?"”
"Brat, what nonsense are you talking about?”Karp's gaze was a little unnatural.
"Heh, I've already seen through it. It's really you, smelly old man!”Carl gritted his teeth.
"Ahem…"Although I did mention your strength later, I wasn't the one who mentioned it at the beginning." Karp scratched his head awkwardly.
"The first person to mention your strength was the Red-Haired Pirates.”
"Red hair?" Carl frowned." Why are we talking about the red-haired pirates again?"”
Wait a minute!
He suddenly remembered that Hawkeye and the red-haired Shanks were good friends!
In other words, Hawkeye might have told the red-haired man about his strength, and then the red-haired man had spread it?
Hawkeye, that bastard, obviously didn't have the personality to avoid getting injured.
" Their evaluation of you is that you're the man who injured Hawkeye." Karp put another immortal shell into his mouth.
“...”Carl was speechless.
It was too uncomfortable for him to be under the gun.
"Well, since you will receive the news if you are late, do you want to follow me back?”Karp chewed on his immortal shell as he said," If you follow this old man, you can still walk closer.”
The so-called shortcut was nothing more than a windless zone.
This old man's strength allowed him to run amok in the extremely dangerous windless zone.
As one of the top combat powers in the pirate world, Karp was undoubtedly one of the most special ones.
He could be said to be the only person whose strength was not affected by age.
The 78-year-old Karp compared to the 72-year-old white-bearded man, the difference between the two was simply shocking!
However, Carl refused without thinking." Forget it. You should leave quickly."”
What a joke. Even if he really had to go to the headquarters, he would have to stay in Donghai for a longer period of time.
And he even followed you to the shortcut?
I'd rather sail slowly on the sea!
" Well, whatever. See you at the headquarters." Karp took another bite of the immortal shell and waved goodbye.
Carl waved his hand to show that out of sight, out of mind.
Every time he saw that old man, Karp, he would have a very troublesome feeling, so it was better to let him go as soon as possible.
The warship continued to sail.
Less than an hour after they set sail, Colonel Josh called.
" Second Lieutenant Carl, the headquarters is calling you to go…"
A moment later, Carl hung up the phone. Colonel Josh's description of the situation was similar to what old man Karp had said. They both asked him to go to the headquarters.
He also told him that he didn't have to return to Branch 148 and could go directly to the headquarters.
" Hey," Carl sighed and said," Roy, change course. Target, Roguetown."”
That was the outpost to the great sea route.
"Yes, sir!" Roy turned around and began to command.
" In the end, we still have to go to the Great Sea Route." Karl was speechless as he lay on the recliner.
In places like the Great Sea Route, there were endless monsters.
However, he wasn't feeling too bad because his headquarters was in the first half of the great sea route.
As long as he didn't go to the new world, it wouldn't be a big problem.
The reason why the first half was called a paradise was because it was weak.
People like Heavenly Yaksha Doframingo and Empress Boya Hancock were basically the ceiling of their combat strength.
The real monsters in the new world would not appear.
Of course, Hawkeye was an exception.
A day later.
On the sailing warship, Roy suddenly said," Report! Second Lieutenant Carl, there's an island ahead!”
" Then let's go over and rest," Carl said, waving his hand.
Life on this ship was really not good.
Without a chef, they could only eat dry food and canned fruit.
It was not easy to find an island in the vast sea. Of course, he had to go there and rest.
" Second Lieutenant Carl, this seems to be Cecil Island," Roy said as he looked at the map in his hand." There's a town called Harrington Town.”
" A town? Not bad." Karl raised his eyebrows.
Although there were many islands on the sea.
However, there were not many islands with residents.
The warship slowly approached the shore, and the wooden ladder was placed directly on the shore.
Carl walked at the front and asked in confusion," There doesn't seem to be anyone?”
Roy looked carefully at the map in his hand again." Second Lieutenant Carl, I can confirm that this is Cecil Island. According to the records, there is indeed a small town with about 200 residents.”
"Is that so?" Carl frowned, and a red light flashed in his eyes.
The color of sight and hearing was fully unleashed!
" Tsk, the town is just ahead, but there's no one there." Carl walked forward.
A moment later, the group arrived in front of a town.
Although it was called a town, it was actually a small village.
A road ran across the street, and there were houses on both sides.
"Were they robbed by pirates?" Carl glanced around.
The shops by the road were all messy, with pots and pans scattered all over the ground.
