In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

At this time, Tang En was already able to step on the air and explode at the moment of falling into the water, making perfect use of this recoil force without falling into the water for the time being. But when he couldn't master the direction of the air, he still couldn't stay in the air for a long time.

But compared to before, it is undoubtedly much better, and he has the ability to survive in the sea.

While Tang En continued to cultivate again and again, refining his fruit ability, a warship was slowly approaching him.

"Is this the kid named Donn? Energetic, huh? Is he practicing jumping into the sea? ”

A burly middle-aged man with a face of national characters standing on the deck of the warship with his hands folded, wearing a dog's head hat and wearing a cloak of justice behind him, looked at Tang En and smiled in surprise.

"Lieutenant General Karp, he is Major Donn, according to Major Donn, he is cultivating."

Captain Cullen said cautiously.

"This is also cultivation? Isn't it masochism? What a strange guy. However, perhaps it is because of this hard work and madness that this kid will make such military exploits at a young age. ”

Karp said thoughtfully.

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to the back and asked the lazy man who was drowsy and had not fallen asleep.

"You're right, Kuzan!"

"Huh? What the? ”

Kuzan looked dazed, but his eyes were looking at Donn, who had been in the air for two or three times, and fell into the sea with a pop.

In an instant, his eyes froze.

"This kid is very strong!"

Stomping on the body at high speed, impacting the air to react on itself, and letting yourself stay in the air, this skill is rare! It also made Kuzan pay attention to the man named Don from this moment on.

The warship quickly approached, and when it came to a steady stop, Don had just been dragged out of the water by Jace, spitting bubbles on the surface.

Another failure!

"Jace, quick, bring Major Donn, this is Lieutenant General Karp from the headquarters!"

Cullen stood on the warship and shouted downward.

When Jace heard the other party's name, his whole body trembled, and he hurriedly dragged Don onto the warship, and then the two rescued Don who had fainted because he had drunk too much seawater.

When Don came to his senses again, he saw a smiling face looking down at him, laughing out loud.

"Are you kid committing suicide?"

"Suicide?!"

Don was stunned.

He rolled over and quickly stood up on the deck, looking at the two men. Captain Cullen and Jace kept wincing at him, suggesting that the two were not the same.

His gaze quickly shifted to the shoulders of the two people, and suddenly, the meaning of the epaulettes made Don stunned.

"Lieutenant General? Captain? ”

At this time, the middle-aged man with the Chinese character face on the opposite side laughed, slapped Tang En on the shoulder, making his whole person shocked, feeling that all his strength was scattered, and grinned.

"Boy, I'm Karp, and I'm here to reward you by order of the headquarters!"

The voice is like a bell, the middle-aged Karp, with black hair, full of energy, and very calm and powerful.

"Lieutenant General Karp?"

Don was stunned for a moment, then shocked.

He didn't expect the big man in front of him to be Karp, after careful observation, it was indeed quite similar to the image in the anime, but the gap between the three-dimensional and the two-dimensional was still huge, and he didn't even recognize it at first. Then he turned his gaze to the tall young man in his twenties beside Karp.

"Then this one is the young Kuzan, the future pheasant!"

His eyes flickered, and Don was sure in his heart.

At this time, Kuzan's face is young, and compared to the lazy appearance that appeared in the anime later, he has a little more energy, and it is when he is young and middle-aged, and the enthusiasm of young people is not so easy to be cold.

"Lieutenant General Karp, why are you here?"

Don said in surprise.

I am afraid that no one in the entire naval system does not know the name Karp. He once fought with Locks for a long time, establishing his title as a hero. And who is Locks? He can be said to be the most outstanding figure in the era before Roger's quest, and before Roger dominated the new world, he was the king! At this time, Kaido, who was famous all over the world, was once a crew member on his ship.

For pirates, Karp is synonymous with evil spirits!

And not long ago, the vice admiral once again refused to be promoted to admiral, which caused a sensation in Marin Vando and even the entire naval system, and made Kuzan feel that this was a very handsome thing. You must know that for every navy, becoming a general is his lifelong pursuit and dream.

"Well, you kid has done a good thing, and the headquarters admires you very much, so they sent me over to see you."

"And, by the way, I have something to deal with too!"

Speaking of this, Don saw Karp's eyes become sharp, and his heart moved, guessing that this incident must be a big event that he could not imagine.

"So, during this time, I may stay with you for a while!"

Soon, Karp said this again, leaving Don puzzled.

"Am I here?"

Before the Haron Island incident, he only had a small boat, but now that boat is gone, he himself is a landless man.

"Oh! That's right, you kid doesn't know the results of the department's handling of you in this incident, eradicating the five pirates and killing your boss, right? ”

Karp patted his head and suddenly realized.

"Then I'll tell you now."

In the blink of an eye, his eyes straightened and his expression became serious.

"Naval Headquarters Lieutenant Donne!"

Tang En's face was immediately solemn, he stood straight, and answered loudly: "Here!" ”

"In view of the fact that you annihilated the five pirate groups a month ago, and then killed the superior lieutenant colonel Bruns, the Navy Headquarters has made the following results against you after discussion and deliberation!"

"1. Awarded you the medal of courage and fearlessness, and praise you for your excellent performance in this battle and your determination to fight to the death!"

"2. Promote you to Colonel of the Navy Headquarters."

Jace and Cullen next to him both showed excited and uplifted expressions on their faces, and Don listened attentively with the same expression.

Karp paused, then spoke again.

"3. But because you later killed Lieutenant Commander Bruns, you will be guilty of the following crimes, and you will be dealt with as follows!"

Hearing this, the expressions of the two Jaces, who were still excited before, changed again, and what they were most worried about was this matter.

"4. Demotion will be dealt with, and your one-year salary will be deducted as a punishment, and the rank of major will be restored!"

Karp had a smile on his face.

"5. Because Lieutenant Commander Bruns has seriously violated naval discipline, perverted the law for bribes, and committed a great crime by alliing with pirates, he has been removed from his post as the supreme commander of the Navy patrolling the waters of Alabastan, and you will temporarily replace him!"

Then, Karp took the military medal from the pheasant next to him and pinned it to his chest for Don En himself.

"Now, you kid can talk!"

Don En had a serious face and saluted meticulously.

"Thanks, Lieutenant General Karp!"
