Chapter 41: Departure from Mary Geoise

Carl lowered his head in thought, pondering if it would be too risky to go to Mary Geoise now.

As a direct descendant of the Figarland family and the eldest son, Mary Geoise was a place he could go whenever he wanted. But who made him have such a beastly father like Darian?

Darian must have known about the existence of his son over the years, but he had remained within the family without making any moves. Carl guessed that it was because of Garling's intervention.

After all, Garling was the current head of the family. With him in Mary Geoise, it was difficult for Darian to reach out.

But if Carl were to go to Mary Geoise, the danger level would rise sharply.

Not to mention Darian's influence in the Figarland family, in terms of his own strength, Carl was not able to compete with him yet.

If it weren't for Darian, why would Carl have come to Marineford to train? The resources of the Figarland family were not comparable to those of the Marines.

Thinking of this, Carl felt a wave of confusion in his heart, and the darkness gradually spread out under his feet. Spandam, who was standing in front of him, felt his feet suddenly tighten, and then his body began to slowly sink into the darkness.

The gravity of the darkness made Spandam unable to even lift his legs. He was extremely terrified but didn't dare to speak loudly. Trembling, he said,

"Carl, Saint Carl, spare my life!"

Spandam's fearful voice pulled Carl's thoughts back. At this time, the darkness was almost above Spandam's waist.

With a thought, the darkness instantly surged back into Carl's body. Spandam collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

Thinking of the scene just now, Spandam was horrified.

"Is this the ability of Saint Carl? It's so terrifying!"

Even as Carl reached out and pulled up Spandam, who was so scared that his body was limp, Spandam's face remained in shock.

He calmed down and asked,

"Saint Carl, what do you think about Mary Geoise..."

"Since Uncle Garling wants to see me, I will go back. You can leave and wait for me at the port tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"

Spandam bowed respectfully at a 90-degree angle and slowly retreated until he disappeared into the shadows.

After he left, Carl stood there in silence for a while. He slowly raised his right hand, with black air rising, and said in a deep voice,

"What is coming will come sooner or later, and I am not someone he can easily control now..."

After that, a dark whirlpool appeared behind Carl, and then his body gradually twisted, finally disappearing completely with the dark whirlpool.

In front of the dormitory building, in a dark corner, the dark whirlpool reappeared and sent Carl out. He first looked around and confirmed that he was near the dormitory building, then nodded slightly and said,

"The location of short-distance transmission is relatively accurate. I hope that long-distance transmission can be as stable as this..."

The next morning, Carl first told his close friends that he had something to do and had to leave for a while. He didn't say what he was going to do, only that he would be back soon.

Ginny followed Carl to the entrance of Marine School. The soldier standing guard at the entrance only let Carl out. He smiled and promised Ginny,

"I will be out for no more than a week this time. You don't have to be so nervous. I will bring you a gift when I come back."

Ginny nodded obediently and said softly,

"Brother Carl, I will wait for you to come back."

After touching Ginny's head through the iron bars, Carl jumped into the air and ran towards the port using Geppo.

Ginny watched Carl's figure disappear from her sight, a trace of worry on her face.

When Carl mentioned he was going out in the morning, she noticed that Borsalino's expression was a bit strange, so she took the opportunity when Carl wasn't around to pull Borsalino aside. Under her constant questioning, Borsalino finally confessed,

"I don't know the details; I just know that Carl should have been called by the World Government."

Hearing this news, Ginny was stunned. She knew a little about Carl's life experience, so she was very aware of the risks involved in Carl's outing this time.

But knowing it is one thing; facing the behemoth of the World Government, Ginny felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Ginny wanted to go with Carl, but she knew she was too weak now. If something unexpected happened, she would only drag Carl down.

The only thing she could do now was pretend that she knew nothing, at least not to upset Carl.

As she stared at the sky in a daze, a deep voice sounded,

"Don't worry, Ginny. If there is no news from Brother Carl, I will go directly to Mary Geoise."

Ginny was startled and looked sideways to find that Kuma was standing not far from her, watching her silently.

"Kuma, you..."

"I also heard what Borsalino said."

Kuma raised his hand, looked at the Paw-Paw Fruit ability on his palm, and whispered,

"This ability was given to me by Brother Carl, and now it's time for it to work."

...

After meeting Spandam at the port, Carl boarded the ship prepared by the World Government and sailed to the holy land of Mary Geoise.

Marineford is very close to Mary Geoise. In less than a morning, Carl, standing on the deck, could already see the Red Line. At the top of the Red Line was his destination: the holy land of Mary Geoise.

After a while, Spandam walked to Carl with a hunched back and said respectfully,

"Saint Carl, we have arrived at the Red Line. Please follow me to disembark."

Carl nodded, and Spandam immediately called a group of men in suits to escort Carl off the boat and to an elevator at the bottom of the Red Line.

The elevator took Carl and the others through the clouds and stopped at the highest point.

A team of guards in golden armor had been waiting there for a long time. When the elevator door opened, they saw Carl surrounded in the center and immediately knelt on one knee, shouting,

"Welcome, Saint Carl!"

This scene shocked Spandam directly. He had come to Mary Geoise more than once or twice, but he had never seen such a reception.

Especially the guards in golden armor in front of him—just by looking at them, they were totally different from the suited men behind him.

He had no doubt that any of those guards could easily kill the people he brought with him.

Swallowing his saliva, Spandam felt that he had witnessed something extraordinary today. If it weren't for Carl, he would probably never have seen these golden guards in his life!
