Pirates: I started as a navy captain, I became stronger by slacking off

"Not bad."

Garp came over and patted Carl on the shoulder: "Not bad? You are much more popular than me now. I'm afraid you will replace me in no time!"

"How could that be? Vice Admiral Garp has made countless military achievements. How could your contributions be forgotten?"

Garp was immediately very happy. He laughed and took the senbei on the table of Sengoku, then fled away. Before Sengoku could finish his words, he had already disappeared.

"Never mind that bastard, let's talk about your medal ceremony tomorrow!"

Zhan Guo took out a stack of manuscripts and handed them to Carl: "This is what you will say at the medal ceremony tomorrow. I know you don't have time to write, so I specially wrote one for you. Can you see if there are any problems?"

Wow~

Carl took it and flipped through it briefly and said: "No problem, thank you Marshal Zhan Guo. By the way, I heard that tomorrow's medal ceremony will be broadcast live worldwide. Is that true?"

Zhan Guo smiled and nodded: "Yes, this is also my suggestion. Since Shanks became the fourth queen, the prestige of the navy has also declined. It's just right to take advantage of you becoming a navy hero to let the people see that our navy is not just for free."

"In other words, this medal ceremony is almost a military parade?"

"Yes, Carl, you don't mind, do you?"

Carl shook his head quickly. Why would he mind? The more grand the scene is, the more face he will have. If his fans increase, he will be soaring!

To be honest, the attribute enhancement cards that are rewarded for daily slacking are no longer enough. If you want to get the highest level, EX level, for free with the system, it will take five or six years.

But Luffy will go to sea in three years. Before that, the stronger he is, the better, because only in this way can he face the complicated and uncertain future with confidence.

"That's good. By the way, I have something else to tell you."

Carl sat up straight: "You say."

"After the awarding ceremony, you have a week's vacation. You can go wherever you want."

"But after that, you have to get moving."

Carl frowned: "Get moving? You mean... I have to go everywhere to perform missions?"

Zhan Guo nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, the Navy finally has another hero. Of course, we have to let the people see the strength of the Navy hero."

"That's how Garp went back then. Tsk tsk, in those years, the number of people joining the Navy was rising! You also know that the Four Emperors are now in full swing, and the number of new recruits is decreasing year by year, and there are even fewer good seedlings..."

"Marshal Zhan Guo, you don't need to say anything, I understand, please rest assured, I promise to complete the task!"

"Okay, okay! Then... that's it, you go back and prepare well, and come to my office tomorrow."

"Yes!"

The next day.

Carl stood in front of the mirror, carefully looking at himself in the mirror. After confirming that he was still handsome, he walked out of the room confidently and headed straight for the headquarters building.

At the same time.

The "live broadcast platform" of the various naval branches in the Grand Line and the Four Seas also displayed the picture, but now there are only busy staff in the Marinford Square, because there are still two hours before the awarding ceremony.

But the people have already brought small stools and gathered under the live broadcast platform, watching the busy Marinford in the picture with relish, and discussing with others from time to time.

After all, there is no TV, no computer, and there are very few entertainment activities in the world of One Piece. It is rare to see such a big event as live broadcast. I remember the last time, hey, it seems to be this guy named Carl!

At this time, a girl holding Carl's support poster in her hand looked at the screen anxiously. She looked for a long time but couldn't find Carl's trace, and she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

"Hey, I thought Vice Admiral Karl was coming out!"

Several women nearby responded: "That's right, hey, all of you move aside, don't block us from seeing Vice Admiral Karl."

A young man with pockmarks on his face stood up and shouted angrily: "No, what's wrong? You women are superficial. Is Vice Admiral Karl's appearance important? What's important is his strength, okay?"

"Tsk, you're not superficial, but you don't look that good, do you?"

"You... hum~ I won't bother with you nymphomaniacs!"

This is Karl's support group, so terrifying. If they knew that it was because of the bonus they gave that Karl was able to last longer in the battle with Hancock Ain... Well, at least they felt a little involved, which was already very good.

In the Marshal's office, Karl found a strange figure.

Standing next to Zhan Guo was a tower-like man, a very strongAn old man with a strong body, broad chest, tan skin, white hair and beard in the shape of a "mountain".

There is a sutured scar under his eye. He wears a sleeveless black shirt decorated with medals, showing his arm muscles, dark green armbands, a light yellow scarf around his neck, and a white and dark gray coat.

At this time, he was looking at Carl with a serious face.

"Carl, you came at the right time. Let me introduce you. This is Kong, the commander-in-chief of the World Government Army and the former Navy Marshal."

Carl saluted Kong with steel bones: "Hello, sir, I am Vice Admiral Carl, please give me more advice!"

Kong Kong stared at Carl silently, making Carl a little nervous, but it was just a little nervous. Look at me? Then I'll look at you. Let's see whose eyes dry faster!

"Haha, what a great young man! I heard that you awakened the Conqueror Haki just like Sengoku?"

Carl nodded: "Yes, I awakened it accidentally when I was fighting Kaido a few years ago."

Konggu Kong said meaningfully: "Accident? Only those with the qualifications of a king can awaken the Conqueror Haki. I think it is a natural outcome."

Sengoku nodded: "Yes, if Zefa hadn't insisted on recruiting new soldiers from all over the world every year, maybe this kid would have become a pearl in the ocean and wiped out everyone."

"Zefar..." A touch of nostalgia appeared in Kong's eyes. The image of the high-spirited black-armed Zefa back then came to his mind, and then he looked at the elegant and extraordinary Carl.

The old is replaced by the new...

"I've heard about your work. You've done a good job. Keep it up. The future belongs to you young people. Don't look down on us old guys who have one foot in the coffin for not being able to help you when the time comes, hahahaha!"

After saying that, Kong Kong and Zhan Guo smiled at each other. Perhaps this is a joke that only a Marine Admiral can understand.

"By the way, Carl, I heard that your ability has the effect of strengthening the body and healing?"
