Carl was led by Lao Cai, and the two soon came to the station of the "Eight Treasures Water Army".

The architecture here is quite magnificent, and it can be seen that this "Eight Treasure Water Army" is really worthy of being a pirate, and it is really not bad for money.

"Grandpa, grandpa!"

Lao Cai went on a rampage all the way, as the 13th generation of the "Eight Treasures Water Army", there was no one here who didn't know Lao Cai, and when they saw Lao Cai appearing, they got out of the way from a distance.

"Huh? Isn't that one who is following Lord Lao Cai the 'ghost god' Karl of the Seven Martial Seas under His Majesty? Why did he come too? ”

"Who knows? Maybe I came to pay New Year's greetings in advance. ”

When some soldiers saw Carl and Lao Cai hurriedly walking by, they couldn't help but stumble and talk.

Unlike other places, Karl is to the Land of Flowers what Klokdal is to Alabastan.

Although Karl did not deliberately manage his reputation in the country of flowers like Klockdahl, on the surface, the country of flowers was naturally protected by the seven martial seas of this king, so the people here naturally have a certain understanding of Karl.

Soon Qingjiao walked out in a noise, and when he saw his grandson Lao Cai, his face was gentle and said, "Hey, hey, ......hey, yy, he Cai, what are you doing with me in such a hurry, is there something important? ”

"Grandpa, I have good news for you." Lao Cai was excited, this straightforward man didn't know how to hide his feelings at all.

"This is ......"

"Needless to introduce, isn't this His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas 'Ghost God' Karl? We've known his reputation for a long time, hey, hey, ......hey,

Carl was startled when he saw Green Pepper walking towards him.

"Ugly?"

Why did this old man carve the word "ugly" on his forehead?

Could it be that the family of "Eight Treasures Water Army" is really a group of strange things that ordinary people can't understand?

It wasn't until Green Pepper got closer and closer that Carl blinked hard that he finally saw the mark on Green Pepper's forehead.

That's the Arabic numeral "12", not the Chinese character "ugly".

But I don't know why, that "12" and the eyebrows of the green pepper are connected together, no matter how you look at it, it looks like an "ugly" word.

This tattoo artist did it on purpose, right?

"What's wrong with you?"

Feeling Karl's strange gaze, the green pepper also smelled a hint of something wrong.

He judged it a little, and estimated that the other party was staring at his forehead, so he stretched out his left hand and pointed at his forehead, and explained with a smile: "This is '12', which represents the 12th generation pillar of the 'Eight Treasures Water Army', by the way, you can call me Qingjiao." ”

"Hehe... Hehe......" Carl laughed awkwardly twice and did not answer.

However, Qingjiao didn't seem to care about these at all, but continued to smile and said: "Mr. Karl, I heard my good grandson say that you seem to have deliberately lost to him in that day's game?" ”

Karl's face couldn't hold back, he cleared his throat, and said, "How can it be deliberate?" It was an accident, it was an accident! ”

"Hey, hey......, hey Anyway, we still want to thank you. Originally, I was worried about marrying the Erbao Water Army in what name, but in this way, now it is justified!

But Cai Yi is still young now, he is not yet 20 years old, and he got married a little too early, I think ......"

"Stop, stop......" Carl couldn't understand this group of strange thoughts at all, but he didn't plan to go deeper, "You can just handle the internal affairs of your 'Eight Treasures Water Army', you don't need to tell me, I don't understand." ”

"Oh, that's right...... I just returned to my hometown today, and I can't help but be a little excited...... Mr. Karl, did you have something to do with our 'Eight Treasures Army' today? ”

"Grandpa, Brother Carl said he could break the 'Baoyu Ice Bed'......"

Before Lao Cai's words were finished, Qingjiao was furious on the spot: "Bastard Cai Yi! Do you think that 'Baoyu Ice Bed' is some kind of toy? It was the strongest ice continent in the world, and it was impossible for anyone to break through the land there. ”

The "Baoyu Ice Bed" is a continent of ice with a very strange structure, where the ice is not only stronger than the ice sheet of the North Sea, but the structure of the crust is also very strange, and it is necessary to concentrate a huge amount of force on a small point to break the ice.

Because the body structure of the young green pepper is very strange, he has a strange pointed cone-shaped head cone on the top of his head, which is just enough for him to concentrate the strength of his whole body on this point.

In addition, the "Eight Chong Fist Mystery" is a very suitable combat move for "breaking the face with a point", so Qing Jiao can easily break the "Baoyu Ice Bed" by using one of his ultimate, "Eight Chong Fist Mystery, Cone Dragon Cone Nail, Green Pepper Open the Door".

In his heyday, Green Pepper had good combat effectiveness, even the naval hero "Iron Fist" Karp, in order to defeat Green Pepper, he had been training frantically, until the eight mountains were crushed, Karp went to Green Pepper to challenge.

Although the battle at that time ended with "Karp punches the green pepper in seconds", Karp actually showed his full strength. ①

It may be due to the fact that Green Pepper is the identity of the "Eight Treasure Water Army" of the World Government member country, and Karp did not capture Green Pepper in the deep-sea prison "Advance City" after defeating Green Pepper.

But even so, since then, Qingjiao, a 500 million Bailey-level sea thief, has basically been wasted.

The "cone" he was proud of was not only tied by Karp, but he himself was also wounded, and since then he has no strength at his peak, even Luffy, who is not open, can fight with Green Pepper, and Rao G, an ordinary cadre of the Don Quijote family, can defeat Green Pepper.

In the future, the reason why the "Eight Treasures Water Army" will participate in the competition held by Doflamingo is likely to get the prize "Burning Fruit", and wants to use the ability of "Burning Fruit" to melt the "Baoyu Ice Bed".

After all, if it was only to investigate the arms deal, there was no need for the three of them to participate in the competition.

However, there are still 12 years to go before that future competitive competition, and the current green peppers have not yet fallen into decay.

At this time, when he heard that someone could break through the "Baoyu Ice Bed", he naturally didn't believe it in his heart.

Even if that person is the "Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty" appointed by the World Government.

Although the strength is not as good as before, the arrogance of green peppers has not weakened at all.

What kind of king has seven martial seas and eight five seas, he didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Grandpa, Brother Carl doesn't look like a person who can lie......" Lao Cai was startled by Qingjiao.

He knew his grandfather very well.

This old man is usually very amiable, but when he gets angry, he becomes very crazy, and everyone looks like he wants to eat people.

"Of course I know he's not lying, but he's never seen Baoyu Ice Bed at all, you two are about the same age, you're just children, what do you know?" Green Pepper grinned, his eyes slightly open, he completely took his grandson's words as a joke.

"Not necessarily."

Karl stepped forward and smiled, "If you don't give it a try, who knows what the result will be?" ”
