CHAPTER 168: CHAPTER 168: MOVING THE HEADQUARTERS TO PARADISE, THE KUJA PIRATES

"Karl, over here, over here..."

"Karl, come and get me!"

"Karl, you’re so slow! Are you afraid to speed up... hehe, you coward!"

"..."

The first half of the Grand Line, on the vast, boundless sea.

On the surface of the sea, the clear and pleasant shouts of young girls could be heard.

Carina, Nami, and Perona, the three girls, were wearing three-point swimsuits and sunglasses of different colors. They were driving the Waver, a specialty of Skypiea, and speeding across the surface of the sea.

While twisting the wind throttle to its limit, they taunted Karl, who was behind them.

"Don’t look back, be careful not to fall into the sea."

Karl, who was also wearing only a pair of beach shorts, bare-chested, and wearing a pair of orange sunglasses, reminded them helplessly.

"Hehe... I’m not afraid, aren’t you here!"

Carina and the girls didn’t care at all, enjoying the long-awaited sea breeze.

They weren’t afraid of being seen dressed like this.

With Karl’s unique perception, no one could snatch away the "perks" that belonged exclusively to him.

By the way...

This time, returning to the first half of the Grand Line, Karl was not alone, nor was he just bringing a few girls.

He had even brought his headquarters to the first half of the Grand Line.

The New World was now in a mess.

It had only been a few days since the pirate alliance’s siege of the Totto Land Kingdom had ended, and the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates had announced their alliance.

Regardless of the threat level, which had soared by an unknown number of times after the alliance of the two great overlord pirate crews, just the "settling of scores" would plunge the New World, this strongest of seas, into chaos.

Therefore...

Karl, who was not a pirate, did not want to become the target of public criticism.

Seeing that Kaido had flipped the table and quit playing, to prevent his headquarters from being attacked by the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates while he was out relaxing, Karl immediately announced that Gran Tesoro would be temporarily moved to the first half of the Grand Line.

After all, the two great overlord-level pirate crews were not lacking in members with the ability to fly.

Even if Nami could send Gran Tesoro into the sky, it was not absolutely safe.

After giving a few days for those guests who were not heading to the first half of the Grand Line to disembark.

Karl took the guests who didn’t mind going to the first half of the Grand Line, and had Nami control Gran Tesoro to fly over the Red Line.

The news that the legendary world’s largest entertainment city had come to Paradise was published by Morgans in the World Economic Journal, and it quickly caused a huge sensation in the first half of the Grand Line.

Those rich people, nobles, and gambling addicts who had long been looking forward to the world’s largest entertainment city, all bought Gran Tesoro’s Eternal Pose at nautical tool shops and headed to the world’s largest entertainment city for vacation or to broaden their horizons.

Although the headquarters had been moved from the New World to the first half of the Grand Line, Karl’s business was not affected in any way.

In response...

The pirates of the New World, and the major powers, besides being so angry that their teeth itched, could do nothing about Karl.

After all, who told the other party to have a Float-Float Fruit user.

It had to be said...

The fire he had started was now burning others, and letting others go to extinguish it, this feeling was quite good.

After moving Gran Tesoro to the first half of the Grand Line, Karl began his relaxing journey in Paradise.

After letting the little dragon protect the city of gold, Karl took the nine girls, including Baccarat and Nojiko, and set out on a large three-masted galleon to relax.

The current ten of them were divided into two groups.

One group stayed on the ship, with Yamato watching over them while experiencing the feeling of being a navigator, sailing the large three-masted galleon around.

But because everyone on the ship was an ability user, and Karl had no confidence in Yamato’s sailing skills, he had never let her leave a range of over three hundred miles.

The other group consisted of Karl’s group of five, who were driving a Waver and sailing on the sea.

That’s right, five people!

Besides the three girls, under the sea, there was a ten-meter-large, the world’s most beautiful mermaid, secretly following them, watching with a smile.

Plop—

Seeing Perona, whose driving skills were not yet mature, her Waver wobbled and she fell into the sea.

Shirahoshi was about to swim over and save her.

Before long, Karl was faster.

Karl teleported into the sea in an instant, held the powerless Perona, and then did something that made Shirahoshi cover her eyes with both hands.

After giving Perona some oxygen, Karl took out a bubble coral that he had prepared in advance from the pocket of his beach shorts.

Then, the shameless couple did some indescribable things in the bubble.

The scene, which was not suitable for children, made Shirahoshi not dare to lower her hands that were covering her eyes.

However, her fingers had unknowingly spread open, revealing her beautiful eyes, as clear as sapphires, under her palms.

A short while later, Carina, who hadn’t found Karl and Perona on the surface of the sea, also fell into the sea.

And so... the volume of the bubble doubled.

On the surface of the sea, Nami sat on the stopped Waver, cupping her face and pouting, "Those three... huh?"

Before Nami could finish her sentence, she seemed to have discovered something.

"...A ship?!"

After rubbing her eyes and realizing she hadn’t seen wrong, Nami became even more depressed, "They didn’t even notice a ship appearing. Those three, just how crazy are they playing down there?!"

"Sorry, I didn’t bring any clothes out, and the man of the house doesn’t like others seeing me like this."

Standing up, Nami waved at the galleon, which was only a silhouette in the distance, "Whether it’s a pirate ship or an ordinary merchant ship, you can only pray that you’ll survive."

Immediately after, Nami touched the seawater, and then her figure floated into the air.

Immediately after...

A large amount of stamina flowed from her body. Nami, like a creator, gently waved her hand.

The next moment, a large amount of seawater surged up, one wave after another.

In a dozen or so seconds, these stacked waves formed a tsunami several hundred meters wide and a hundred meters high, roaring towards the galleon.

The scene was on that galleon sailing on the sea.

A large galleon made of mahogany, full of the ancient charm of Karl’s past life, and pulled forward by two giant sea serpents.

A pirate flag was hanging on the mast, indicating that it was a pirate ship.

On the flag and the sail, there was a symbol that looked like a sun, with nine snakes wrapped around a skull.

This flag was also very famous on this great sea.

It was the pirate crew used for expeditions by the country ruled by the current Warlord of the Sea, known to the world as the world’s most beautiful woman, the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock—

The Kuja Pirates.
