Chapter 31: Confrontation with Karp
Under Cap's satisfied gaze, Bucky and his two men quickly donned the Navy's cloak of justice.
The big word justice fluttered in the wind behind Bucky, and Galen continued to look confused.
"Big news, big news!"
"The crew of One Piece was actually influenced by the naval hero Karp and decided to abandon the darkness and become a navy?"
Wallace, who was carried away by one big news after another, was so excited that he seized the opportunity to slap Bucky, the clown in a navy cloak.
After taking a photo, Wallace even leaned in front of Bucky with a pilgrimage-like expression and interviewed him face-to-face.
At this moment, the three Galen have been certified as good citizens, but there are no naval soldiers to stop the enthusiastic reporter's activities.
"Oh? Journalists? ”
Bucky's expression was very indifferent, completely devoid of the panic and pain of a few minutes ago.
"That's right..."
Bucky tidied up the somewhat crooked cloak of justice on his body a little, and put on an unfathomable posture in front of the camera:
"I did want to be in the Navy for a long time."
"It is because of my heart for justice and my can't bear to bring more disasters to the world that I have been dormant in the East China Sea without action."
"Otherwise..."
Wallace's eyes lit up, and he helped Bucky with the second half of the sentence very interestingly:
"Otherwise, as a member of your One Piece crew, once you stay on the Great Passage..."
"I'm afraid there will be one more Four Emperors in this world who will shock the world!"
"Yes, yes..."
Bucky nodded in satisfaction, and said in a deep tone:
"Shanks's ideological height is a little far from me."
"Bringing chaos to the world is not what Captain Roger wants!"
"Lord Bucky is really extraordinary!"
Wallace recorded Bucky's remarks and praised them without hesitation.
"But..."
Wallace's excited expression suddenly froze: "Why did you bombard our ship before?" ”
"That..."
An embarrassed smile suddenly appeared on Bucky's face, and in a moment he reverted to the indifference of a hidden master:
"It was just a misunderstanding."
"I thought you were a gang of steel knife pirates who did a lot of evil, so I resolutely decided to take action to kill the evil and eliminate the evil!"
The more Bucky talked, the more he got into the play, and the funny big red nose couldn't stop him from thinking more and more divergently:
"Later, I found out that I had injured an innocent person by mistake, so I restrained myself from attacking with all my might."
"Let that knight kid cut me two swords, which can be regarded as repaying the previous grievances."
"I see!"
Wallace recorded Bucky's remarks with a serious face, his eyes full of reverence.
"Hahahaha!"
Bucky clasped his hands to his chest and let out a smug smile:
"That's right, that's how I, the righteous partner, Lord Bucky, have the demeanor of a general!"
These two like-minded guys made the corners of Nami's mouth twitch uncontrollably.
A day later, Nami couldn't help but have the idea of measuring the amount of water in the reporter's head.
And on the other side...
After successfully taking Bucky as a subordinate, the relieved Karp finally had time to turn his attention to Galen.
"Knight Boy!"
Karp walked up to Galen and said with great interest:
"Your abilities seem to be interesting... Would you like to have a discussion with me? ”
"Sparring?!"
The first to be shocked were the surrounding naval soldiers, who did not expect to have the opportunity to watch Vice Admiral Karp's battle up close.
And Smoker quietly cast a sympathetic look at Galen:
When he was in the Navy headquarters, Karp, who was also an instructor, liked to learn from talented and powerful young officers.
In this way, Karp let those young people see the wider world, and let those who are proud of the sky know... What is the sky high and the earth thick.
Therefore, the young people who have been trained by Karp have basically not been able to stand up and walk out of the training ground...
"Talking to you?"
Galen unconsciously used an honorific to the old man in front of him, who was far beyond his imagination in terms of momentum and strength:
"Forget it... I still want to live two more years. ”
"Boy, don't say such depressing words!"
Karp patted Galen on the shoulder and encouraged:
"You can defeat Smoker in three rounds, and it's been many years since there has been a young man like you in the East Sea..."
"Besides, it's just a competition, so why be afraid?"
"This..."
Galen hesitated.
But in the end, Galen still couldn't resist the urge to feel the peak combat power in person, and agreed to Karp's somewhat outrageous proposal:
"Okay, I promise!"
"But you have to stop at the point!"
Galen reminded him earnestly, he was a little afraid that Karp would get too excited and punch himself to death.
"Of course!"
Karp smiled kindly: "I'm very measured!" ”
The unknown knight of the East China Sea, who has the strength of the "Admiral of the Admiral", and the naval hero Iron Fist Karp are about to start a duel, and this news instantly ignites the atmosphere of the entire warship.
Bucky, the clown who once became the protagonist because of his status as a crew member of One Piece, was suddenly defeated by Galen, who was a colonel of nature and a member of the One Piece crew member, and stole the limelight.
The sailors excitedly formed a large circle on the deck, focusing their excited eyes on Karp and Galen.
Wallace also left Bucky the Clown aside for the time being, and squeezed in front of the crowd of onlookers with his camera, occupying an excellent position to watch the battle.
Wallace had just stood still and snapped two photographs when the crowd behind him squirmed and squeezed out a sword-wielding girl.
This is none other than Admiral Dusty, a female swordsman who is very interested in the swordsmanship of Galen, an unknown "swordsman".
"Let's get started!"
Karp clasped his hands on his chest, stood in front of Galen very casually, and glanced at Galen with a slightly encouraging look:
"Knight boy, you strike first."
As he spoke, Karp's eyes quietly carried a little anticipation.
He wanted to experience the special abilities of the young junior in front of him.
"Yes!"
Galen unceremoniously agreed.
He also knew that if he didn't strike first, he might never have a chance to make a move.
"Fatal blow!"
Galen's great sword suddenly lit up.
"Oh?"
The interest on Karp's face was even stronger:
The light on that greatsword...
Inexplicably, it made him feel "justice" and "light".
It's just a sword, but it can vaguely affect people's subjective feelings, which makes the knowledgeable Karp a little moved.
Karp remained still, as if expecting Galen's next attack.
Galen didn't hesitate, holding his great sword high and charging at Karp, and slashed at his target without any fancy words.
It's too slow...
The sword skills are also very clumsy...
He had just been able to defeat Smoker, and it was still too much of a fluke.
In the face of the oncoming sword, Karp not only did not panic at all, but also made a more comprehensive and objective evaluation of Galen's strength in just a few breaths on the ground.
Seeing that the blade was about to slash in the air, Karp finally reacted.
Without using any technique, Karp just casually flashed to the side with his body's instincts...
For this kind of junior whose strength is too far apart, Karp can easily avoid the opponent's attack without much effort.
And then, in the midst of all this...
Karp's eyes shrank—
His powerful sight and knowledge domineering suddenly felt the crisis at this moment:
The blade that had already been avoided by him unexpectedly accelerated in an instant, following the trajectory of his dodge, and almost fell to his shoulder in the next breath.
After all, Cocarp is a strong man who stands at the top of the world, although it is only a fraction of a second, he can also seize this momentary opportunity:
"Shave!"
Capu's explosive feet slammed into the ground in a very short amount of time with a special force, causing his body to move as fast as a phantom.
At this moment, he was already serious.
Including the attacker's Galen and the powerful Smoker, no one present could see Karp's body change clearly.
A hurricane storm erupted on the flats, making it difficult for close sailors to open their eyes.
Karp's figure had already appeared more than ten meters away with the storm in an instant, while Galen was a little sluggish and kept his sword swinging and slashing posture.
It had all happened so fast that Galen wasn't even sure if his previous blow had worked.
But Karp was even more stunned:
He touched his shoulder in disbelief—
The shoulder was fine, but it was cut with a shallow blood mark, and the skin was not even broken.
But the justice cloak and suit sleeves there have been cut out by the big sword, and they look a little embarrassed.
"Still haven't dodged his attacks?"
Karp finally looked surprised.
The surrounding audience was in an uproar.
"Lieutenant General Karp was actually injured?!"
Wallace subconsciously recorded this shocking picture with his camera, and muttered to himself blankly:
"Could it be that he is really a general of the headquarters?"
