CHAPTER 179: CHAPTER 179: THE PERFECT GIRLFRIEND, THE FIFTH OVERLORD FORCE

As the Op-Op Fruit was obtained, the North Blue journey of Karl’s group quickly came to an end.

That one sentence...

For those who had traveled through both halves of the Grand Line, the Four Seas were like the countryside, with no interesting places.

Not only that, but the number of fools here was even greater than in the first half of the Grand Line.

Every time they landed on an island, the Kuja warriors had to clean up some fools, which ruined Karl’s mood for playing in such a small place.

After successfully obtaining the Op-Op Fruit, Nami, while playing on the ship, sailed the galleon towards the entrance of the Grand Line.

After reaching Reverse Mountain, she controlled the large galleon and the Perfume Yuda to fly over it, returning to the first half of the Grand Line.

In the hall of the cabin.

Carina and the other girls were divided into several small groups, each playing their own games.

For example, Nami was pulling the shut-in Perona into a gambling game, and together with Baccarat, they were bullying the innocent Ghost Princess.

Carina and Robin were sitting on the long sofa, quietly reading their books, occasionally asking for advice or exchanging ideas.

As Karl’s two brains, Carina and Robin would occasionally play with Nami to relax.

But most of the time, they were immersed in a sea of books, or using a Den Den Mushi to contact Nojiko in Gran Tesoro, giving her guidance or instructions on some matters.

Yamato and Hancock, on the other hand, continued to be the foodie and the cook.

After being conquered by Karl, Hancock displayed a love that made even her childhood sweetheart, Carina, feel ashamed.

Not only was her mind full of Karl, but because of her innocent nature, Hancock, who had secretly asked Carina and Robin for advice, had been learning Wano-style etiquette for two or three months.

The dignified Pirate Empress, the world’s most beautiful woman, was learning to do laundry, cook, give shoulder and back rubs, and other things to serve a man.

She didn’t find it boring at all, but rather enjoyed it.

The current Hancock was undoubtedly the perfect girlfriend that all men dreamed of.

She could hold her own in the hall and in the kitchen.

She only loved one man and despised all other men in the world.

At home, she was well-versed in the ways of a wife; outside, she could become Karl’s right-hand woman with her extremely strong strength.

This manifestation of a full favorability score made not only Carina, but even Nami and the other girls blush.

There was no contest, no contest...

Without a doubt, Hancock, with her love that was devoted to Karl, had her status in the crew soar rapidly.

If this continued for a year or two, she might even be second only to Carina.

While the girls were each playing their own games.

Karl was on the rooftop of the cabin, sunbathing, watching the sea and feeling the sea breeze with Shirahoshi, while looking at the piece of paper in his hand, which was filled with writing.

Although after gaining control of the Kuja Pirates, Karl’s blurry memories of his past life had all become clear.

But memories would eventually become blurry again, so after remembering some of the powerful and rare ability users from the original story, Karl had written all their names on a piece of paper.

This piece of paper was Karl’s hunting list.

Among them, the names of several people had been crossed out.

For example, the Paramecia Door-Door Fruit user, Blueno.

The Paramecia Slow-Slow Fruit user, Foxy.

The Paramecia Op-Op Fruit user, Trafalgar Law.

The fruit abilities of these three people all belonged to the Paramecia rule-based type.

Below them, the name of a certain person who had not been crossed out also had a rule-based ability.

The Paramecia Munch-Munch Fruit user, Wapol.

The Munch-Munch Fruit was undoubtedly one of the top-tier abilities among the Paramecia types.

It could eat any substance, including living things.

The substances and living things it ate could all become a part of its body.

For example, if it ate a cannon, a part of its body could turn into a cannon.

For example, if it ate an ability user, it could use the ability of the one it had devoured.

Such an ability was second only to Karl’s hidden trait, "Devour," and belonged to the "devour" ability of the pirate world.

Karl could become stronger by continuously eating, and would gain a new trait after evolving.

The Munch-Munch Fruit, on the other hand, could turn the things it ate into a part of its body, including fruit ability users.

If it weren’t for the fact that eating a Devil Fruit would make one a landlubber, the Munch-Munch Fruit would definitely be one of the Devil Fruits that Karl would want to eat the most.

But with the hidden trait "Devour," which surpassed the Munch-Munch Fruit, and at the same time, this hidden trait was only a small part of his Monster Physique, Karl had no interest in the Munch-Munch Fruit.

Of course...

Although he had no interest in eating the Munch-Munch Fruit, Karl did not plan to let Wapol go...

Such a top-tier ability was really wasted on a fool like Wapol.

Besides the Munch-Munch Fruit, the names written below on the list all had their fruit abilities marked next to them.

For example, the Paramecia Copy-Copy Fruit user, Bon Kurei.

This former member of the Whitebeard Pirates, who had been given a bounty of 300 million Berries years ago and had the title "Chameleon," was the user of the superior fruit of the Clone-Clone Fruit.

Not only could he copy others’ appearance and figure, but he could also copy others’ fruit abilities.

These two abilities directly made Bon Kurei the most difficult person to find in the world.

Karl also didn’t expect to be able to find him, and had only written his name down to avoid forgetting this character in the future.

The Paramecia More-More Fruit user, Byrnndi World.

The Animal-type Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Nine-Tailed Fox user, Catarina Devon.

The Paramecia Memo-Memo Fruit user, Charlotte Pudding.

The Paramecia Mirror-Mirror Fruit user, Charlotte Brûlée, and so on...

If he were to take all the fruit abilities of the ability users on this list and use them to cultivate a private armed force that was only loyal and devoted to him, Karl’s Gran Tesoro would absolutely instantly become the fifth great overlord force in the New World.

The name of the fifth Emperor of the Sea would also truly be worthy of its name.

This way, even if the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates joined forces, he wouldn’t be afraid of them sneak-attacking Gran Tesoro if he left the New World.

Unlike now, where, facing the alliance of two overlords of the seas, he actually had to move his headquarters from the New World to the first half of the Grand Line?

"...It’s almost time. There are only a few months left."

The corners of Karl’s mouth lifted slightly, and he muttered to himself, "Blackbeard, you’d better not disappoint me!"

"You’ve been lurking for decades, and you’re the one who left the permanent mark on Red-Haired Shanks’s flag. You shouldn’t be unable to beat an enhanced version of Fire Fist Ace, right?!"

"Two spots for the Seven Warlords are about to be vacated for you."

"If you’re not up to it, then don’t blame me for taking your ability."
