Chapter 36: Ginny Is So Beautiful

He was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then sighed helplessly, thinking it was her fault.

But think about it, the sister I recognized is indeed outstanding in talent. Not even the boys of her age, let alone girls, can defeat her, so only Carl can be her opponent.

Gion, who has a strong nature, will inevitably get bored if she stays in the comfort zone outside for a long time, so after she heard that a group of students who were "not weaker than her" appeared in the Headquarter, she couldn't help but come here.

Then she met Carl, who had just returned from a mission. He was the strongest in this class, which directly shattered Gion's pride...

Thinking of this, Tsuru rubbed her swollen forehead and softened her tone,

"Then what's going on between you and Ginny? It's just a competition. How did the fight reach this level?"

"Well... it must have been what I said before that irritated her. She has a strong temper and even grabbed my sword with her hand..."

Gion paused slightly when she said this, and then added,

"I was careless and got hit by her, so I hit harder. Thanks to Carl who arrived in time, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, it would have been a big deal!"

Tsuru pinched Gion's little mouth. She felt happy but at the same time couldn't help but think that if Ginny was seriously injured, Garp and Sengoku the Buddha would probably lose their minds like Carl.

Carl was shaken away by Tsuru's Haki and retreated directly to Ginny. Her figure was slightly swaying. Upon seeing this, Ginny hurriedly supported Carl from behind and said anxiously,

"Brother Carl, are you okay? That's enough. I just hurt my hand a little. It's okay!"

Carl patted Ginny's cold little hand and said softly,

"I'm fine, don't worry."

After saying that, he looked up at Tsuru in the distance and said in a deep voice,

"I still underestimated Tsuru. To be able to cultivate Haki to such an extent is worthy of being in the same class as Sengoku the Buddha and the others."

After several months of training and this time going to sea for actual combat, Carl has become very proficient in the use of Haki, and the intensity is not low, but he still can't do it as openly as Tsuru just did.

This was also the first time that he personally experienced the intensity of Haki's display. The power was truly extraordinary, and Tsuru had obviously not used her full strength.

Tsuru is someone who has competed with the Rocks Pirates alongside Garp, Sengoku the Buddha, and other top Marines. She is definitely the strongest among the female Marines.

What's more, Tsuru is not as old as she was when she appeared in the anime. It can be said that she is in her prime. Carl speculates that her strength is definitely infinitely close to an Admiral's.

It is completely acceptable for Carl to suffer such a loss at the hands of Tsuru. He is still a long way from being at the top of his combat power. After all, he has only just turned 16 years old.

"Um?"

Carl was thinking about something and suddenly felt a stream of hot air spraying on his hand. He looked down and found that Ginny was holding the hand he had held against Tsuru just now, pouting and blowing air on it.

Carl asked with a puzzled look on his face,

"Ginny, what are you doing?"

Ginny blew and replied,

"Brother Carl, your hands are a little red. They should have been shaken by Vice Admiral Tsuru. I'll blow on it and relax it for you!"

"Idiot, I'm not that fragile. Your hand is much redder than mine!"

Ginny smiled and raised her injured hand as if to show off. She was in good health, and the wound on it had already scabbed over in a short while.

Looking at Ginny with a smile on her face, most of the anger in Carl's heart disappeared instantly. He pinched Ginny's pretty and elastic face and said earnestly,

"Don't be brave when I'm not around in the future. We'll talk about everything when I come back. Do you understand?"

"Ah? Then Brother Carl, wouldn't it be great if you were always by my side!"

"..."

Carl put one hand on his forehead and was about to speak to educate the "stubborn" Ginny, but when he saw Ginny's big watery eyes, he suddenly swallowed what he wanted to say.

In the words of Earth, Ginny is a hopeless romantic. Carl even laughed at this kind of girl at the time and even thought that this kind of girl could not exist at all.

But when he actually met her, and the person she fell in love with was himself, he realized how terrifying this kind of girl could be.

At least he couldn't resist.

Caressing Ginny's soft short pink hair, Carl didn't know what to say anymore, so he just said "Okay" softly.

Ginny hugged Carl's waist tightly, with a bright and bright smile on her face.

Tsuru led Gion over like a parent. She quietly observed Carl and Ginny for a while. If Gion hadn't been scratching her palms to urge them, she might have waited until the two of them finished talking.

Looking back and glaring at the funny Gion, Tsuru looked at Carl and said,

"Carl, I already understand what happened. It was indeed Gion who provoked her, and her actions were not serious. I apologize to you and Ginny on her behalf."

After saying that, Tsuru actually lowered her head to Carl. Considering her identity and status, this approach was indeed very rare.

Tsuru is such a gentle and sensible person, otherwise, Garp and Sengoku the Buddha, two tough men, wouldn't care so much.

Seeing Tsuru's actions, Gion felt guilty, and she also lowered her head to apologize. Ginny suddenly felt flattered, and she bowed at ninety degrees and said repeatedly,

"It's okay, it's okay. There's something wrong with me as well. I'm too serious!"

Seeing the performance of these three people, Carl had nothing to say, but he still ignored Gion and just said to Tsuru,

"Vice Admiral Tsuru, I was rude just now. You don't need to apologize. This has nothing to do with you."

Tsuru waved her hands and was about to speak when a popping sound suddenly came from the air.

Everyone looked up to the sky and saw Zephyr rushing towards them on Geppo, with a flash of light behind him.

Zephyr shouted while kicking,

"Carl! Stop it, kid! If I had known, I wouldn't have let you come back early... Borsalino, why are you dawdling behind?!"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at Carl. Ginny couldn't help but ask,

"Speaking of which, Brother Carl, how did you come back?"

Carl pointed to Zephyr in the sky and said casually,

"It's just like Mr. Zephyr. The speed of the warship was too slow, so I used Geppo to run back in advance."
