One Piece: Starting in God Valley as a Slave

Chapter 18: Chapter 18 Carl’s Arrangement



Under Spandam's urging, Babs had no choice but to say,

"Sorry, I can't make the decision on this request. If you want to enter the Headquarter, you must first report to the recruitment office. Now Admiral Zephyr has been transformed into an Instructor, and he is responsible for the recruitment and training of recruits."

Hearing Zephyr's name, Spandam's arrogance also turned off. He knew that Zephyr, in his own words, was very "strict," a person who was very difficult to talk to and didn't know how to adapt at all.

But Zephyr is indeed strong enough, after all, he is a person who has served as Marine Admiral.

Spandam is still very self-aware. He knows that in front of Babs, the Marine Rear Admiral, he dares to show off his power under the guise of the World Government, but it is not necessarily the case with Zephyr.

He secretly glanced at Carl and found that Carl didn't show any dissatisfaction on his face, and even had a smile on his face.

According to Spandam, there are only two possibilities for this performance.

One is that Carl is extremely well-educated and can perfectly control his emotions even if he hits a snag with Babs.

The other is that Carl doesn't take Babs seriously at all. He is full of confidence in his family's power.

Although Carl gave him a very different feeling from other Celestial Dragons, he still preferred the second possibility.

Because members of the Figarland family can do whatever they want!

Thinking of the Figarland family, Spandam's fear of Zephyr instantly disappeared.

Yes, isn't Zephyr just a Marine Admiral? In front of the Figarland family, let alone a Marine Admiral, what about the current Marine Fleet-Admiral Kong?

Judging from Saint Garling's attitude towards Carl, Spandam also knew that this was a master who could walk sideways in Mary Geoise!

The more Spandam thought about it, the straighter his back became. He raised his eyebrows, pointed at Babs, and said,

"Mr. Carl wants to go to the Marines. It's an honor for you Marines. Don't be shameless. You just said Zephyr, right? Come on, give me the phone. I'll tell him in person. I want to see if the World Government will give or not give?"

Bubbles didn't expect that Spandam would dare to be so arrogant after hearing Zephyr's name, but when the words came out, he was so worried that he really wanted to reach out and grab the phone from his arms.

Carl suddenly reached out and held down his arm.

"It's not necessary. You still have to go through the process. You just need to take me and my friends to the Headquarter."

As he spoke, he nodded to Spandam, which made Spandam, who was a little uneasy, instantly moved to tears.

This was a step down for Babs, and he was not that ignorant. He immediately agreed and said that he would send Carl and others safely to Naval Headquarter.

Kuma looked back at the cross hanging on the central wall of the church, with a worried look in his eyes.

Carl saw through what he meant. He called Spandam to his side and told him something in a low voice. Spandam nodded like a bobblehead.

After finishing the matter, Carl patted Ivankov's shoulder hard, then called Kuma and Ginny, and followed Babs to leave the church where he had lived for six years.

Ivankov remained silent for a while, then suddenly bolted and rushed out of the church.

He shouted at the disappearing figures of Carl and the others,

"Carl, thank you! And Kuma and Ginny-chan! You must take care!!"

Hearing Ivankov's shouts behind him, Carl did not look back, but just raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.

He comforted Ginny who was crying beside him, turned to Kuma, and said,

"Kuma, are you worried about those old people?"

Kuma was stunned for a moment and thought to himself that Carl could always see through what he was thinking.

"Yes... they are all old and cannot do heavy work. If there is any problem with their health, they will not have the money to see a doctor..."

Carl stood still, stared into Kuma's eyes, and said earnestly,

"Kuma, there are many people like those old people in the world. You can't take care of them all. Their suffering is not caused by you, and you don't need to feel guilty about it."

Kuma nodded silently. He understood what Carl said, but he had been with those old people for a long time. If he left them behind like this, he would still feel reluctant to let go.

Carl put away his serious expression and said with a smile,

"Don't worry, Kuma. I have my own arrangements for those old people. Look, didn't Spandam come with you?"

"Um?"

...

In the church at this time, the ministers and nobles of the Sorbet Kingdom stood in front of Spandam with their heads hanging down like a group of primary school students.

Spandam can be said to have changed his face. Compared with the person he was in front of Carl before, he is a completely different person.

He held a cigar in his mouth, paced back and forth in front of the ministers, opened his mouth, and said,

"You guys are such rubbish. You can't even manage such a small country well. There are so many old people who don't even have money for medical treatment?"

The two men in suits behind him looked at each other in confusion. Based on their understanding of Spandam, this was a scumbag who only wanted to get promoted and get rich. When did he start caring about people's livelihood?

A minister said weakly,

"Lord Spandam, actually we don't want this. This is all done by the original King Bekori. He has been raising taxes for..."

"That's enough! I don't want to listen to your nonsense anymore. Since that Bekori is incompetent, let's find another king!"

"Okay?!"

Under the incredulous gazes of all the ministers, Spandam puffed out another puff of smoke and said lightly,

"That's it. I heard that the previous king was named Bulldog. He was very good! Let him take the throne again!"

"However, the change of the king of the franchise country needs to be reported to Mary Geoise. I don't know, Mr. Spandam..."

"Hmph! Do you still need to say this? Am I the kind of person who doesn't know the rules?"

After saying this, everyone present except Spandam himself felt a burst of curse in their hearts, but no one dared to speak out.

Spandam also knew that what he said was indeed a bit unconvincing. In fact, he did not have the power.

But since he dares to make such a decision, he naturally has his confidence, and his confidence comes from Carl.

Because these were all what Carl had just told him, thinking of Carl, a look of fanaticism appeared on Spandam's face. He threw away his cigar and wiped his ash-stained fingers on a minister's clothes.

"Let me tell you, these are Lord Carl's wishes. He is God, and his words are the edict! Just follow them obediently, and you don't need to worry about the rest!"

After speaking, Spandam waved his hand and walked away under the escort of two men in suits.
