Chapter 16: Are You Preaching Old Man?
The East China Sea, close to the Great Shipping Route!
"Report to Lieutenant General Karn, the town of Rogue is ahead, please instruct!"
"Are you in Rogue Town?" Karn sighed!
This is where the One Piece began, known as the King of the Pirates.
Roger's dying words sent the whole world into madness, thus starting the entire era of pirates.
It seems to be a hot-blooded, time-leading thing.
But Karn thought that was.
Since then, the number of pirates on the seas has skyrocketed, causing countless problems and tearing up many families around the world.
And how many countries have been attacked by pirates.
Kahn was a witness to this situation, and he experienced it firsthand.
Because they are all pirates, they still care about the lives and deaths of civilians?
And it was because he had seen so much that Karn was so numb.
So Karn didn't have any affection for Roger at all.
This was especially true when Zefa's comrades-in-arms and families were killed by pirates.
Don't say that pirates are affectionate and righteous, just ask the bandits if they are also affectionate and righteous, but do you think he is good?
The world may need a group of guides and reformers, but they are definitely not pirates!
"Forget it, what do I care about!"
"Sure enough, people will sigh when they get old!"
Of course, this is also because he once had ideals.
Soon the group arrived at the naval base in Rogue Town.
As the last stop on the Great Voyage of the East China Sea, the keeper of the town here is the smoker Smoker, the last student of Zefa.
Karn still had some admiration for Smoker.
It's just that this guy's strength is also good, but all the characters he meets are not easy to mess with!
Two Seven Martial Seas, Crocodall and Doflamingo!
The only victorious record is Wang Luffy in the early stage, as well as those unknown pirates!
It's just that in the later stage, the gap between the two is even greater.
So the record is not very good.
But appreciation is appreciation, and now Karn is very unhappy with Smoker.
The reason is simple.
Karn swept away the pirates in a radius of a hundred miles in the space of a few days.
He thought there would be a big harvest, but he ended up with very little gain!
The reason is that Smoker has cleaned up the surrounding sea after becoming a colonel here!
This also led to the fact that after dealing with all the pirates on the ship, Karn was able to account for more than half a hundred million Baileys.
With the money from the restaurant at sea, Karn's assets were close to a billion Baileys.
The usual consumption of the system is not a problem for the time being.
But for Kahn, that wasn't enough.
"Lieutenant General Karn, why are you looking at me like that?" Smoker asked, confused.
Karn was speechless, could it be that because you are here, there are fewer pirates around, and I have less oil and water?
Smoker looked at Karn in front of him with a faint doubt and dissatisfaction, but he didn't say much because he was not familiar with it.
Although Karn's name had faded from the navy in the past decade or so, Smoker knew exactly what kind of past the navy had.
Young Karn is a righteous and powerful navy! But after going through some things, it took a turn for the worse.
Smoker felt that there was a reason for Karn's fate, but he didn't think it was a reason for Karn to forget his original intention.
However, this is also because the relationship between Karn and the One Piece Empress has not been revealed, otherwise, Smoker probably would not have a good face.
"Smoker, well done, there are no pirates around."
"Lieutenant General Kahn has won the prize."
The corners of Karn's mouth twitched.
"Does this guy really think I'm complimenting him?"
"Lieutenant General, is this your saber? The demon knife is red, and the dark red blade is said to be stained with too much blood! ”
A bespectacled female naval officer looked at the red tassel on Karn's waist with some inability to take her eyes off, and there was a small notebook in her hand, apparently just contrasting.
"Oh! It's Dusty! ”
"Lieutenant General knows about me?" Dusty was a little confused.
"By the way, the young navy who upholds justice in his heart, of course I know."
Dusty blushed slightly.
"Well, can I see the red tassels?"
Karn didn't mind, and threw the red tassel directly to Dusty.
This cute girl is also one of the few characters Karn likes in One Piece.
Dusty looked at the demon knife in his hand with some excitement.
Then he pulled it out.
A fierce dark red murderous aura instantly emanated, causing the ambient temperature to drop sharply.
Makes Smoker and Dusty stiffen.
"Equinox!"
Karn's words seemed to have had an effect.
The aura on Hongying's body was somewhat restrained.
Such a scene surprised Dusty even more.
"I didn't expect Hongying to be so spiritual! Sure enough, as rumored, the reason why the demon knife is called a demon knife is because the knife has a personality. ”
After saying that, he immediately returned it to Karn respectfully.
Karn took it, and then collapsed casually.
"It's just a little grumpy lately!" Karn said nonchalantly.
Dusty was stunned.
"What temper?"
"It's nothing, it's just that it's rarely used in recent years."
"The demon sword Hongying, the sword of the great sword Hao Lieutenant General Kahn, twenty years ago, killed countless pirates, bathed in the blood of countless strong people, and terrified the pirates of the entire New World, and was known as the demon sword that brought death! And as its master, Vice Admiral Karn is known as the sailor who brought death, Vice Admiral Karn, am I right? ”
Karn glanced at Smoker in surprise.
"It seems that that old fellow Zefa still values you very much! I've told you so much, but it's all the old calendar, what are you talking about! ”
"You used to uphold the righteousness in your heart, but why have all I heard in the past ten years are Lieutenant General Kahn's bad comments? Has Lieutenant General Kahn forgotten his original intention? ”
Smoker finally couldn't help but say it.
The scene was somewhat still.
Dusty and the others also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and the heavy pressure made them a little breathless.
Karn was silent for a long time, then laughed outright.
But it was a sneer.
"Smoker boy, are you preaching to the old man?"
"Don't dare! It's just that I have some doubts in my heart. ”
"Confused? Originally, the old man still admired you a little, but that guy from Zefa didn't seem to have taught you something? ”
"What's that?"
"The awe of the strong, the recognition of their own strength."
Smoker was stunned.
He is actually very satisfied with his own strength.
"What? Not convinced? ”
"Although you are a senior, I am very upset with such a statement!"
Smoker took a puff on his cigar and exhaled a large smoke ring.
"Unhappy? If you are unhappy, you can hold back the old man, look at you, as the disciple of the old guy in Zefa, he is domineering and domineering, and he has learned five styles in six styles, and he is a mess. ”
"There is no swordsmanship, the only highlight is the natural fruit, but what have you developed?"
"Although the three boys of the Red Dog, the Yellow Ape, and the Green Pheasant are also extremely dependent on the fruit, they are strong! You're a general, what about you? Captain? Is he the colonel of the East China Sea branch? That's it? Still preaching? What the hell! ”
"And you know one more thing? The old man finally quit smoking, but you want to smoke in front of me! I'm upset too! ”
