Preparations Before Attacking the Tyr Kingdom

Yesterday, after Carl tested their fist techniques, she felt immensely satisfied.

It seemed that Clay was still pouring his heart and soul into teaching them.

Every child had shown significant improvement in their strength.

Afterward, Carl taught them a simplified version of the Golden Light Incantation.

The reason it was simplified was that she was still holding something back; after all, she needed to examine each child's character, and only after they fully passed the test would she consider handing over the complete version.

After passing on the Golden Light Incantation, Carl would lead them in training and provide guidance every morning.

These children ranged in age, with the oldest being eleven or twelve and the youngest only five or six.

Fortunately, they learned quickly. In just fifteen days, they had mastered the basics, and once they had, the rest depended on their own hard work.

After all, as the saying goes, a master leads you to the door, but the cultivation is up to the individual. This applied not just to them, but even to Carl, who had to work hard on her own cultivation.

She still needed to continue polishing her Haki, but these days, she went to see Charlotte Linlin every night. It was like clocking in for a daily check-in; truth be told, she had developed a taste for it.

One morning, deep in the woods.

"Boom!"

"Whoosh!"

The birds in the forest had all flown away.

After one final strike, Carl and Newgate ceased their assault.

"Gurararara!"

"Carl, your strength is improving quite rapidly."

"You can already project your Armament Haki."

Every time Newgate was with Carl, he was left stunned. He hadn't expected that in just over ten days, Carl would have already grasped the projection of Armament Haki.

But as Newgate collected his thoughts, he felt that Carl was truly a monster. After all, Carl's physique had grown too quickly recently, nearing six meters in height.

"This is all thanks to your help, Brother Newgate."

"Otherwise, my strength couldn't have grown this fast."

Ever since Carl handed the Golden Light Incantation over to those children, she had been asking Newgate to come over to practice and train her Armament Haki.

Every time she sparred with Newgate, she could clearly sense that the bloodline within her was being further stimulated. Although it wasn't much each time, the accumulation caused her physique to grow taller incessantly.

Even so, she sensed that her constitution was still far from reaching its limit.

"Alright, since you've already grasped the projection of your Armament Haki, this training can come to a temporary halt. You need to get some good rest, too. Keeping your mind constantly strained isn't a good thing for you."

In Newgate's view, when it came to comprehending Haki, haste made waste. Every time one broke through a stage, one had to calm their heart and properly internalize the sensations of that stage.

Otherwise, the path ahead would become even more difficult, much like building a house; if the foundation wasn't laid firmly, the house would be nothing but a castle in the air.

"I heard that recently, you and Linlin..."

Newgate asked Carl with a gossipy look on his face. As the saying goes, the end of the universe is gossip; no one can escape the urge to pry.

"Brother Newgate, who did you hear that from?"

Carl didn't let Newgate finish; she interrupted immediately and asked in a hurry, her face full of confusion. What she was doing should have been very discreet—how could Brother Newgate have found out?

Could something have gone wrong somewhere? She remembered hiding it well every time.

"Don't you worry about that."

In truth, Newgate had discovered it by accident. One night, feeling bored, he was drinking by the sea and inadvertently sensed Carl heading toward Charlotte Linlin's room.

Later, he heard from the pirates under Charlotte Linlin that those kinds of sounds had been coming from her room for the past few days.

They all assumed Charlotte Linlin was looking for men again, but Newgate immediately thought of Carl.

"Just tell me if it's true or not?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it from Newgate, Carl had no choice but to tell him about the agreement between her and Charlotte Linlin.

At the same time, she made Newgate promise to keep it a secret, and Newgate wasn't the type to blabber.

"Hehe, I knew it."

Seeing that Carl hadn't hidden it from him, Newgate felt a secret joy in his heart—Carl still trusted him.

On the other hand, he was quite curious about the affairs between the two of them, but now wasn't the time to chat about that. He suddenly remembered there was something important left to do.

"Right, there's still business today. The attack on the Tyr Kingdom is about to begin."

"So soon? I thought the word had leaked out last time, so I assumed we wouldn't be attacking."

Carl picked up her spare clothes from the side and began to put them on, as her outfit had been torn to shreds during the recent fight.

"I heard the new intelligence captain, Shakky, is a very capable person."

Shakky... if I remember correctly, she's the old flame of Dark King Rayleigh.

"Alright, let's go."

"Hmm, let's go."

With that, the two walked together toward Rocks' bedroom.

"Jehahahaha!"

"This matter finally has a lead."

Golden Lion laughed exuberantly inside. After all, a batch of his cargo had been secretly seized by the Tyr Kingdom, and he had been looking for a chance to take revenge. He clearly had the opportunity to go last time, but he had made excuses due to various matters; he hadn't expected things to progress this time.

Therefore, among everyone present, besides Rocks, he was the most excited.

"This is Shakky, who will officially serve as the intelligence captain of our Rocks Pirates from now on."

"Mamamama!"

"Why hasn't Carl arrived yet?"

Speak of the devil, Carl had actually just heard Golden Lion's arrogant remarks.

"Everyone is here."

"Gurararara!"

"Sorry to keep you all waiting."

Newgate didn't care much; after pushing the door open and saying a domineering sentence, he found a place to sit down.

Carl followed closely behind and sat next to Newgate. As soon as he sat down, he saw Charlotte Linlin winking at him, and he quickly glared back; it wasn't time for their relationship to be exposed yet.

Although it was only for a split second, it seemed that Rocks noticed something, his eyes sweeping over them.

"Shakky, introduce the situation of the Tyr Kingdom to them."

Rocks changed the subject, immediately steering the conversation toward the Tyr Kingdom.

"Hello everyone, the Tyr Kingdom is one of the top powers in the New World. Everyone, please look here; this is the main port of the Tyr Kingdom."

As she spoke, Shakky spread a huge map on the wall behind her.

The map of the Tyr Kingdom was somewhat similar to an irregular rhombus.

"According to our intelligence officers' investigation, there are currently 500,000 soldiers on the Tyr Kingdom, and a small portion of them can use Armament Haki."

The Tyr Kingdom? How have I never heard of it? It's so strong.

Carl frowned, wondering if his transmigration had caused some slight changes to the Pirate World.

"At the same time, there are three people on the island that need attention: King Tyr, the strategist Cthulhu, and the general Giles."

"According to intelligence, all three of these people possess Admiral-level strength."

"Jehahahaha!"

"Leave that King Tyr to me; I haven't cut down such a powerful king yet."

Seeing a king with such strength for the first time, Golden Lion's hands itched, and he immediately requested permission from Rocks.

"No problem, Golden Lion, he is yours."

Rocks, of course, would not refuse.

"Furthermore, according to reliable information, the Marine Admiral Snow Lion also arrived at the Tyr Kingdom the day before yesterday."

"As for whether there will be an ambush, it is currently unknown, but what is certain is..."

Although Shakky didn't finish, Rocks reacted immediately: it was an internal issue. Someone had already leaked their plan, even though he hadn't told anyone else about it.

It seemed he would have to play along with their scheme.
