Chapter 15 Battle against John

Carl found Newgate immediately after boarding the ship.

"Does Brother Newgate recognize these Devil Fruits?"

Carl said this to Newgate in the cabin. He urgently wanted to know the names of these devil fruits.

He placed in front of Newgate one by one the Devil Fruit from which he first lived on the deserted island, the one that was auctioned just now, and the Devil Fruit that he got from the Scar Pirate.

"I do know a few of them, but I don't know this one, but I can go back to the island and look up the Devil's Manual."

Newgate pointed at the fruit at the auction and said, while Newgate showed an envious expression. He did not expect that Carl was so lucky and could harvest so many Devil Fruits in such a short period of time.

"This one is the Superman-type Rain Rain Fruit, and this one is the Animal-type Taurus Fruit."

The two fruits Newgate pointed to were the one he got on the desert island and the one he just got from Scar Pirate. As for the one at the auction, Newgate didn't recognize it either.

Since Newgate doesn't know him, he can only place his hope in the system.

"OK, thanks."

Although I didn't recognize them all, fortunately, I recognized two.

After a simple dinner, Carl returned to his room.

Clay was assigned to the room next to Carl.

"What kind of fruit is this system?"

Since the system reminded him before, the system must know what kind of fruit this is.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations to the host, you are so lucky."

"This fruit should be affected by the energy I released when I came to this world."

"It is an energy fruit that can absorb all the energy in the world and transform it or release it."

"It's a fruit with a high ceiling."

Karl looked shocked when he heard that he could absorb all the energy in the world and not only transform it, but also release it.

Carl is not one of those people in the pirate world who has not experienced the explosion of the technological era.

Does all energy represent water energy, wind energy, kinetic energy, light energy, dark energy, thermal energy or even some negative energy?

If you utilize it, this is definitely a top-notch Devil Fruit.

If you look at it this way, the upper limit of this fruit is really unimaginable.

But Carl doesn't want to use the Devil Fruit for the time being. In his opinion, the Devil Fruit will leave certain shortcomings on himself as long as he uses it, and he is afraid of sea water.

When his current strength has not reached its upper limit, he will not consider using Devil Fruit to increase his strength.

After Karl washed up, he packed up and went to sleep.

After all, if we arrive at Beehive Island tomorrow, what will happen is likely to be a fierce battle.

After all, he told Newgate that he wanted to be the captain, not join his team.

And if you want to become a captain, you must go through battles.

So he must recharge his batteries.

……

Beehive Island, an island located in the New World, looks like a giant beehive, hence its name.

The environment on the island is extremely harsh. It is shrouded in thick fog all year round. The island is full of pirates and there are no civilians. This is the Hive Island, the headquarters of the Rocks Pirates.

And this morning, a pirate ship slowly sailed into the port of Beehive Island.

Karl stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the mysterious island in front of him, his heart full of anticipation.

Because he is a white man, and he wants to be the captain directly, it is impossible without some difficulties.

So he thought carefully about who was weaker in the Rocks Pirates during this period.

After thinking about it, probably only John and Wang Zhi would be relatively weak.

After all, Kaido is still just an intern at this time, and he can't become the captain even if he defeats Kaido.

"How are you nervous?"

Newgate stood next to him and asked him at this time, because Karl and Newgate talked about his idea on the way, and he wanted to be the captain directly.

But Newgate expressed concern about this. Although Carl's current comprehensive strength can reach the lieutenant general level after several battles, there is no one on the island who is good at it. If he is not good, he will end up dead. After all, Locke The members of the Si Pirates are all murderous people.

He is just very strong and recovers his physical strength very quickly, which makes him difficult to fight. He may fail if you are not careful, but this does not mean that no one can defeat him.

He must be mentally prepared for this.

Especially the golden lion in the pirate group, Charlotte Lingling, who is a master of using swords.

"Don't worry, I'm ready."

Karl said confidently, after all, no matter what, according to his current physical recovery ability, as long as Rocks hadn't taken action, he wouldn't have died directly. As long as he didn't die directly, he would still have a chance. The worst he could do was start as a crew member. .

He would rather face John or Wang Zhi, as this would have a much greater chance of success.

But what they didn't know was that the Golden Lion had already gone to sea, so he was not on the island at this time, otherwise Karl would be really in trouble today.

"Now that you've thought about it, let's go."

While the two of them were talking, the ship had already docked, and the pirates on the ship moved the items on the ship to Beehive Island.

Because Beehive Island is considered a home for pirates, although many things looted from outside will be placed on Beehive Island and handed over to Rocks for distribution, the wealth after distribution belongs entirely to him.

Rocks rules his pirate group by using force to force them together. Although such a pirate group has no cohesion, its combat effectiveness is not generally strong. After all, the weak ones may have died long ago.

"Newgate, look who you brought back?"

"Well, well, well, well!"

Newgate and Karl heard the sound and went away, only to see Charlotte Lingling walking towards them.

Charlotte Lingling has also seen the bounty order, and the purpose of coming here is to recruit Karl to join his team.

"How about it? How about joining my team?"

"I guarantee you will be the vice-captain when you come in."

As soon as Charlotte Lingling approached, she extended an invitation to Carl.

"No, I want to be the captain."

Karl had a wry smile on his face and declined politely because he didn't want to be anyone's team member, but he didn't expect Charlotte Lingling to be the first to recruit him.

Charlotte Lingling seemed to have expected such an answer. After all, strong people don't like to be other people's subordinates, not to mention that he was the one brought back by Newgate.

With a tall figure and a slight smile on her face, she said to Karl: "You can think about it first. My conditions are valid at any time. It's never too late to come to me."

After saying that, Charlotte Lingling turned and left, leaving Carl and Newgate standing there.

Newgate looked at Karl with a smile, patted Karl on the shoulder and said, "Come on, I hope you can realize your dream soon."

Karl nodded solemnly, took steps, and walked towards the depths of Beehive Island.

He knew that if he wanted to stand out among the Rocks Pirates, he had to work harder.

"Who is talking shamelessly over there?"

There was a shout in the distance.

I saw John walking towards this side with a big sword.

"If you want to be the captain, you must pass me first."

John originally just watched from the side, but he didn't expect that Karl would actually talk nonsense.

The 5 million Berry bounty on Beehive Island was actually not that much. Hearing his arrogance, John wanted to come over and test his strength.

"Eat my sword."

"Sword Qi chops waves!"

John said as he used his left foot to step on a big hole in the ground in an instant, jumped into the air, raised the long sword in his right hand and struck Karl.

The long sword instantly turned dark, obviously wrapped with armed domineering energy, and a blue sword energy attacked Karl.

And Karl did not back down. John took the lead in challenging him. Although he did not expect it, he was looking forward to the battle with him.

He bent his legs and kicked hard, rushing towards John like a cannonball.

The right hand also condensed the armed haki, and crashed directly into John's sword. Although his armed haki had only been awakened for a short time, it was enough.

Carl's Armed Color Haki has been understood to a deeper level through Newgate's guidance on the ship, but he is not very proficient. After all, his physical condition has already reached the bottom line of using Armed Color Haki.

"Clang!"

The moment their two fists touched the sword, a crisp sound of iron striking came out.

At the moment of the collision, a circular air wave radiated to the surrounding area, and the pirates on the shore were immediately blown away.

"Oh, there's a fight between the captains, retreat quickly!"

"If you leave here quickly, you will be affected."

"Quick...go!"

The pirates on the sidelines all know that when captains initiate an ordinary battle, the aftermath of the battle is something they cannot bear.

If they hadn't escaped, their fate might have been sealed here, so after they saw John and Carl starting to fight, they all moved away from the scene.

John missed the blow, took a step back, and said.

"Young man has a lot of potential, but with just this level of strength, it's not enough to be the captain."

"Take advantage of me again."

John bent his knees slightly, then held the big sword in both hands, with veins popping out in his hands, and used 100% of his strength to slash at Karl.

I saw a crescent-like energy attack rushing toward Karl.

Karl also knew that if he wanted to be the captain, he could not ignore John's challenge, and he needed to defeat John.
