Chapter 34: Carl Returns

Buzz!

In anger, Gion fired a pink sword energy that was far more powerful than before. Almost at the same time, Ginny pulled the trigger, and a dark bullet sprayed out from the muzzle of the gun.

After firing this bullet, Ginny suddenly seemed to have lost all her strength, and her body went limp and fell to the ground.

However, the bullet that was easily cut off by Kompira before was locked in a stalemate with the sword energy wielded by Gion. Gion stared at the bullet that was spinning in the air and said in a deep voice,

"The bullet's wrapped in Haki? I didn't expect you to awaken your Haki."

Glancing at Ginny, who was slumped on the ground again, she shook her head and said,

"It seems you just woke it up not long ago. It's hard for you to use it at this time, but Haki at this level is not enough to block my attack."

As soon as she finished speaking, the bullet fired by Ginny finally reached its limit. After a violent shaking, it exploded into pieces. Without the bullet's blockage, the sword energy whizzed towards Ginny again.

Momonga and the others could no longer hold back and wanted to rush forward to help. Once she was hit by the sword energy, Ginny would definitely be severely injured. Then they would really have no face to show to Carl.

But it would be difficult to catch up with them at their speed. Ginny raised her pistol tremblingly. Even if she could only shoot an ordinary bullet, she would never admit defeat.

But it was too late. Before she could pull the trigger, Gion's sword energy flew in front of her. The dazzling sword light made her subconsciously close her eyes, and countless thoughts popped up in her mind.

"I still lost, it's a bit embarrassing..."

"I obviously work hard at training, and Brother Carl often praises me!"

"If you give me a little more time, I will definitely not lose to this woman!"

"If I get hit, it will hurt a lot, right? Woohoo... I'm actually very afraid of pain!"

"...Why don't I feel it yet? Am I dead? Does that mean I will never see Brother Carl again? No!"

Ginny opened her eyes suddenly, and a tall figure appeared in her sight. The sunlight had been blocked, leaving Ginny in darkness, but she felt very warm, because her Brother Carl was the dark incarnation!

The visitor was Carl, who had just returned.

A bright and charming smile bloomed on Ginny's slightly pale face, and she called out in a soft voice,

"Brother Carl!"

Carl was holding a one-handed grasping posture, with a metallic light shining on his dark hands.

Hearing Ginny's call, he turned his head with a smile that was very familiar to Ginny.

But when he saw Ginny's bloody hands and pale face, bursts of strong black energy emitted from the corners of his eyes.

As soon as Ginny saw Carl, she felt all the weakness in her body swept away. She jumped up and hugged Carl's waist from behind, and said happily,

"Brother Carl, you are finally back. I missed you so much!"

Carl stroked her pink hair and said softly,

"I've only been out for less than a month. It looks like my Ginny is in a hurry, huh? Didn't you call?"

"The Den Den Mushi is so ugly! I still like to see Brother Carl with my own eyes!"

"Okay, okay, calm down first and tell me what's going on with the woman opposite?"

Ginny nodded obediently and briefly explained the matter to Carl. She didn't say anything bad about Gion because of her defeat, only that she came to challenge.

Carl listened quietly. When Ginny finished speaking, he softly said, "I understand."

Suddenly, he lowered his head and kissed Ginny's smooth forehead. Ginny suddenly froze in place as if petrified.

Carl smiled and pinched Ginny's soft, pretty face. When he turned to face Gion, there was no trace of a smile on his face anymore, and his eyes were full of darkness that was so rich it was nearly palpable.

Gion still kept swinging the sword, with a dull expression on her face.

Her mind was still stuck on the scene just now: just when her sword energy was about to hit Ginny, Carl's figure appeared like a ghost, and then he crushed the sword energy.

At this moment, when she met Carl's eyes, Gion instantly felt a chill rush through her body. She subconsciously held the sword with both hands and said solemnly,

"You must be Carl. Vice Admiral Tsuru is right, you are really strong!"

Carl didn't answer. He put his hands in his pockets and walked toward Gion step by step with slow, deliberate steps.

The keen-minded Momonga secretly thought something was wrong. Carl's mood seemed very wrong. The woman named Gion was in danger!

Momonga is not swayed by beauty; he is not worried about Gion, he is worried about Carl!

Gion had said that she was the sister of Vice Admiral Tsuru. Although he didn't know if they were related by blood, the relationship was definitely very close!

He has absolute, unconditional trust in Carl's strength. Because of this, he is afraid that Carl might make a mistake and end up doing something to Gion...

If something like that really happens, no matter how generous Vice Admiral Tsuru is, she may not be able to let it slide. Once Vice Admiral Tsuru gets angry, even Teacher Zephyr may find it difficult to protect Carl.

Speaking of which, why did Carl come back alone?

Teacher Zephyr, where have you been? Do you know that this is going to be a big mess?

Seeing Carl getting closer and closer to Gion, Momonga was worried. He glanced at the others, who were already stunned, cursed his teammates inwardly, then turned around and ran toward the office building. He wanted to go make a phone call!

At this time, no one on the field noticed Momonga's sudden departure. Gion looked at Carl approaching her and tentatively swung her sword energy again.

Carl just waved his hand and scattered the sword energy into the air like swatting flies, without affecting his speed at all.

His speed was not fast, but it put great psychological pressure on Gion. She exerted force on her feet and retreated quickly.

She didn't stop until she was a hundred meters away. Before she could take a breath to calm down, when she looked up, Carl was already standing in front of her.

Carl leaned forward slightly and looked quietly at Gion in front of him. Their faces were so close that they could even feel each other's breath.

Gion wanted to continue to retreat, but was horrified to find that she could no longer move at all. Carl's body was like a magnet, exuding a strong suction that firmly held her in place.

Carl's expression remained calm, and he said in a low voice,

"You seem to be very confident in your own strength. You want to challenge me, right? Come on, I'm standing here now. Make your move."

How could Gion bear this? She gritted her teeth and swung the sword with all her strength. Konpira passed through Carl's body and cut through the air.
