One Piece: Starting in God Valley as a Slave

Gion frowned, about to slap Jessica's hand away from her collar when Carl's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"What are you doing?"

Sensing Carl behind her, Gion's hand froze mid-air, and she turned around. The hole in her collar widened, revealing a hint of pink underwear.

However, Carl simply ignored the breathtaking sight. He passed by Gion and approached Ginny, patting a bunch of pink hair on her head.

"Hey, silly girl, what happened?"

Ginny was startled and quickly turned away, speaking in a low voice, "No, it's nothing!"

"Then why are you keeping your head down? Have you finished today's training? Have you been slacking off?"

"I'm not slacking! I'm going to train right now!"

Ginny jumped a little wildly, then suddenly quieted down, asking tentatively, "Brother Carl, do you like high heels too?"

"High heels? Why do you ask suddenly?"

"Oh, don't worry about it. Just tell me if you like them or not!"

"Well... they're okay. Do you want to wear high heels? I'll give you a pair, but I think boots suit you better."

"Brother Carl, you like me wearing boots? Got it! I understand!"

Carl crossed his arms, pondering aloud, "Actually, both shoes can hinder activities quite a bit. If you're training, I wouldn't..."

However, Ginny wasn't listening to Carl's words anymore. She stuck her tongue out at Gion behind Carl, then turned Jessica around and ran off, leaving Carl with some cryptic words.

Gion wanted to say something to Carl, but he didn't even glance back, disappearing in a flash.

After a while, Gion found herself alone again. She straightened her messy collar, glanced at the deep cleavage, and murmured to herself, "What a rude man. I don't believe you can keep ignoring me like this!"

She then looked at Ginny, who had resumed training in the distance, her eyes narrowing gradually, "As long as I build a good relationship with that Ginny..."

Evening,

Carl returned to the dormitory after washing up. Akainu and Kuma were off to shower, leaving only Borsalino, who was already in bed.

Resting his head in one hand and holding a banana in the other, Borsalino tasted it as if it were a delicacy. He had brought the banana back from the canteen after dinner, savoring it as a late-night dessert.

Seeing Carl return, Borsalino generously took out another banana from under his pillow and tossed it to him. "Carl, have a banana. I got plenty from the cafeteria."

Carl took it, placed it next to his pillow, and smiled, "Thanks, but I just brushed my teeth. I'll save it for tomorrow morning."

Borsalino nodded. Unlike Carl, he wasn't too particular about brushing his teeth at night!

Without any phones in the pirate world, Carl made his bed and prepared to sleep. But before he lay down, the Den Den Mushi on the table suddenly rang loudly.

This Den Den Mushi had only been installed a few days ago, and only Carl and his dormitory mates had access to it.

Since the strength of the four of them had reached the Vice Admiral level, Zephyr no longer treated them as ordinary students. If there were any urgent tasks, Zephyr would contact them through this Den Den Mushi and dispatch a few of them for missions.

If Akainu had been there, he would've picked up the call first, but he wasn't around.

Carl glanced at Borsalino in the upper bunk. Borsalino didn't move an inch, staring at the ceiling and muttering, "What's the old man calling at this hour for? Carl, please pick it up. I'm a bit bloated from the banana."

Carl shrugged, walked to the table, and pressed the connect button on the Den Den Mushi's shell. The purple-haired Den Den Mushi began to mimic Zephyr's speech.

"Is it Carl? Someone from the World Government is looking for you at the gate. Please come over."

Hearing this, Borsalino suddenly sat up in bed, his ears perked up.

Zephyr continued, "Don't be nervous. That man's name is Spandam. I heard from Babs that you two had contact before when we were in Sorbet Kingdom. I won't pry into your personal affairs. Just go meet him first."

Carl nodded, "Alright, I'll head there right away."

After hanging up, Carl put on a coat and was about to leave when Borsalino suddenly stopped him, "Carl, if you don't come back tonight, let us know. If there's anything you need, just tell us."

Carl was slightly startled. When he turned around, he saw Borsalino's eyes full of concern.

Feeling a warmth in his heart, Carl said softly, "It's okay. Didn't you hear what Teacher Zephyr said? I know the person. Maybe my family asked him to bring me something."

Carl's words hinted at his connection with the World Government. After hearing this, Borsalino didn't say more, nodding as he slowly lay down.

Arriving at the gate of the Marine School, the guard immediately opened the gate upon seeing Carl, letting him out.

As soon as Carl stepped outside, Spandam emerged from the shadows, walking up to Carl with a hunched posture and a sycophantic smile.

"Lord Carl, I'm truly sorry to trouble you like this, but I had to ask you to come out. I was afraid I might slip up in front of others and reveal your noble identity..."

Carl waved his hand, "It's alright, you did well. Now, what do you need from me?"

"Well, Lord Garling contacted me today, asking me to bring you to Mary Geoise."

"Uncle Garling is looking for me? Did he say why?"

"No, Lord Garling only said he wanted to see you."

Spandam rubbed his hands, still wearing that flattering expression, and continued, "Don't worry, Lord Carl. I've told everyone that the World Government is very interested in you and wants to investigate you. After all, your outstanding performance here is obvious to all."

Spandam looked at Carl with admiration, thinking to himself, As expected of the Figarland family. You must know that the students in this class are personally guided by the former Marine Admiral Zephyr, so the quality is the best.

Carl can actually stand out among this group of people. What a talent!

Spandam, having dealt with many Celestial Dragons, had only encountered someone like Carl once. He increasingly saw Carl as a promising prospect and became more devoted to him.

Even someone like Spandam had dreams, and his dream was to become the number one lackey around Carl!
