Chapter 163: The Most Tragic King in History: The Seven Martial Seas
A few more days have passed like this, and it has been about half a month since Carl convened a meeting of the presidents of the Chamber of Commerce.
Under the integration of many chamber of commerce presidents, Carnival City soon regained its former prosperity.
Although Bakith killed countless assassins who came to provoke him, the profession of mercenaries was originally a group of crazy people who were not afraid of death, taking money and working, this is the principle of mercenaries.
Under the heavy employment of the Chamber of Commerce, the armed forces in the Chamber of Commerce were naturally replenished quickly.
The reason why Carl likes to refer to this group of people as "mercenaries" rather than "bounty hunters" is because mercenaries are more disciplined than they are to the free-spirited, flamboyant bounty hunters.
Bounty hunters are wandering mercenaries, and mercenaries are fixed bounty hunters.
In addition, several killers sent by Bonis also successfully arrived in Carnival City.
Although they are all small characters who are not well-known, it is not a big problem for them to deal with the pirates who offer a bounty of 10 million or 20 million Bailey, and if they are combined, they can even kill 30 million level pirates - of course, the 30 million Bailey-level pirates like "Straw Hat" Luffy are special cases.
Therefore, as long as there are no pirates at the rank of rear admiral of the Navy Headquarters, this carnival city will not be powerless.
What's more, there is also the nominal protection of the "ghost god" Carl of the Seven Martial Seas under the king.
The day after "Moonlight" Moria became the king of the Seven Martial Seas, the navy announced the complete list of the seven martial seas of His Majesty.
Carl's name is ranked third behind Jorakol Mihawk "Hawkeye" and "Sand Crocodile" Klockdahl.
The ranking of this list does not represent the strength of His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas, but is based on the time they joined His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas.
In the final analysis, the position of "His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas" is mainly valued by the influence of the pirates rather than their strength.
Otherwise, there would be no future "Thousand and Two Dao" Bucky God.
Luo forcibly joined the Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty by offering the hearts of 100 pirates to the world government.
Moriah relied on his reputation for causing dozens of shipwrecks in the Devil's Triangle.
There is also a detail on this list, the Navy quietly changed Carl's title from "Shadow Knife" to "Ghost God".
The Navy did not explain the reason for the title change, and the vast majority of people did not care about this detail.
Only the pirates of Magic Valley on Gaya Island have a deeper fear of Cal's title of "ghost god".
Things in Carnival City have gradually calmed down, and all walks of life have once again resumed normal operations.
For his next destination, Carl has already made a decision - the Winter Kingdom "Magnetic Drum Island", the hometown of the blue-nosed reindeer and Tony Tony Chopper.
Drum Island didn't make much strategic sense for Carl.
There was no naval base stationed there, and the military force was not strong enough, and even after the Blackbeard Pirates wiped out the country, the navy did not provide the slightest assistance there.
However, the "Iron Bucket Kingdom" of Drum Island is clearly a member of the World Government.
It seems that the identity of a "member country of the world government" is sometimes really useless.
The reason why Carl chose to go to Magnetic Drum Island was mainly because he fell in love with the extremely advanced medical technology of Magnetic Drum Island, even if it was placed on the whole sea.
In addition to this, there is Valpo's "Swallowing Fruit".
Carl wasn't interested in the Swallow Fruit itself, but with the ability to Swallow the Fruit, he could create a very special alloy that would even be used by the future Iron Man Frankie's "General Frankie".
If Valpo has already eaten the fruit, kill him.
If Valpo doesn't eat the fruit, drive him away.
Although the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book that Carl has collected is only a short version at best, it is far less advanced than the advanced versions available in the Font family or other large families.
However, on the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book in his hand, he found records and pictures of the Swallowing Fruit.
In the future, it is enough to mobilize underground forces to find it, this swallowing fruit is far less attractive to other people's eyes than the burning fruit or the surgical fruit, so the competition should not be very fierce.
Having made up her mind, just before Carl was about to leave, Sophia took the initiative to find the door.
"Mr. Karl......"
Today's Sophia is dressed in a refreshing and capable simple dress, and her original long hair has also been cut into a short haircut, although there is less girlish tenderness, but it has a little more neutral beauty.
"What's the matter?" Karl was curious, and it stands to reason that there should be nothing to decide on his own at the moment.
"I want to ...... Mr. Carr, could you grant me a request? Sophia hesitated for a moment, but finally mustered up the courage to ask.
"I can't."
Carl refused bluntly, and Sophia was dumbfounded.
"If there's anything, just say it, don't beat around the bush, I have to hear what the hell is going on first."
The corners of Sophia's eyes jumped, and her heart was worried: "Mr. Karl, can you teach me some fighting skills?" ”
"What?" Carl was taken aback by Sophia, he had no idea that the girl would make such a request.
"After going through so many things, I feel that if I don't have a certain combat power, I am really useless, I ...... I also want to do my part! ”
Sophia quickly said what was on her mind, and Karl could notice that before she knew it, Sophia had clenched her little fists tightly.
"Hmm...... It's not realistic. Karl didn't agree to Sophia's request, but he thought for a moment and added: "In this case, you go with me to Magnetic Drum Island first, if you are lucky, it is not that there is no chance to improve your strength." But it can be life-threatening, so you need to think ahead. ”
"I'm not afraid!" Sophia did not hesitate to agree to Karl's conditions.
Carl nodded, motioning for Sophia to make some preparations.
And he himself picked up the latest newspaper of the day again and read it, because the news on it really made him laugh and cry.
"Shocked! His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas 'Moonlight' Moriah mysteriously disappeared! ”
"No one alive, no dead body, and no one has heard anything about the reason for the disappearance of 'Moonlight' Moria."
"Is this a naval ploy or a conspiracy of pirates? For details, please pay attention to the further analysis of the experts of this newspaper! ”
