Chapter 382: Flame Cat vs Fire Fist
"Mr. Karl, we didn't expect you to find our furry principality, it's really our luck!"
After the little monkey reported the news, Duke Inulan, one of the "two kings" of the Furry Duchy, immediately came out to greet Carl.
The fur clan is a race of gratitude and retribution, Duke Inuran and the cat pit viper shopkeeper are retainers of the Guangyue family, and Karl once helped Mitsuki Yutian repel the Hundred Beast Pirates in Wano Country, so Duke Inulan is naturally polite to Cal.
"Lucky?"
Karl muttered the word in his mind, and had some guesses about the situation in the Furry Duchy.
After a brief conversation, Karl learned some information from Duke Inuran that Callert had not originally gathered.
According to Duke Inuran, Kaido of the Beasts was disdainful of dealing with Yodohime and Momonosuke, an orphan and widow, so he let them leave the castle tower.
Originally, it was supposed to be the mother and son of Momonosuke, who were supposed to be protected by "Kitsune" Kinemon, "Shower" Kanjuro, and "Mist" Raizo.
But not long after they left Wano Country by ship, they were attacked by pirates, and the other party even killed Kanjuro on the spot just because they didn't agree with each other.
Later, Raizo escaped from the other party's hands with the ability of "Ninja" and came to Zou Island to ask for support.
However, according to the information on the life card, Kinemon was also killed by the powerful pirate the day after Raizo escaped.
And because Momonosuke's mother and son were arrested by the general once before, there was no life card left around him at all.
In this way, the clue that Raizo used the life card to find the young master and his wife was completely cut off, and Momonosuke's mother and son were like evaporating from the world.
For this reason, Duke Inulan and the shopkeeper of the cat pit viper even had a big fight, but the original two friends of life and death turned against each other within a day, and they did not get along with each other.
Duke Inuran did not inform Carl that it was Yodohime who betrayed Luo.
It's not that he doesn't want to talk about it, it's that Yodohime has never told anyone about it.
"Mr. Karl, we know that your Caller has a very large force, please think of a way to help us find the traces of the young master and his wife!"
Duke Inulan, the king of the Furry Duchy, knelt down for Karl in front of the citizens present without hesitation, and he was still the one who threw himself to the ground.
Although he is a fur clan and the king of the furry principality, Duke Inuran is also a retainer of the Guangyue family, and has been completely brainwashed by the culture of Wano Country.
In the eyes of these retainers, they can give everything for the Duke of Yutian, not only their own lives, but even the entire Furry Principality!
As a retainer of the Guangyue family, Lei Zang naturally knelt down to Karl on the ground.
Although Garrot and the other fur people did not know exactly what was going on, since even the king had knelt down for the man, they did the same, and knelt down to Karl.
Because they are willing to believe in their king unconditionally.
"Please Mr. Karl must help us once!"
“……”
Carl and Kirunor looked at each other, unable to understand why things had suddenly turned out the way they were.
Although Carl has become one of the "Four Emperors" and is the leader of Calet, he has never been worshipped at this level.
This made him inexplicably experience the feeling of being a "world aristocratic Tianlong person".
Carl knew about the relationship between Duke Inuran and the Cat Viper Shopkeeper and the Guangyue family, but he really didn't expect them to do this for the Guangyue family.
In the minds of Duke Inulan and the shopkeeper of Cat Viper, the two of them were first retainers of the Guangyue family, and then the king of the Fuzzy Duchy.
"Inulan and Cat Viper are really two very loyal and good retainers...... It's a pity that the two of them are not a good king......"
Carl thought to himself.
Isn't he a good king? They weren't even a proper king.
In the original book, when the "drought" Jack invaded the island of Zou, Inuarashi and the cat pit viper did not hesitate to take the lives of all the citizens of the entire furry principality in order to protect the "samurai" of Wano Country.
If Sanji and the others hadn't found this place, the Furry Duchy would probably have died directly.
To put it mildly, it's about the same as a traitor.
Carl's only remaining fondness for Duke Inulan vanished at this moment.
He is so loyal to the Light Moon family, which means that there is no way for Cutler to take it for himself.
The king who chose to trust and follow him unconditionally, but who spared the lives of all his own citizens to save the samurai of another country is not worthy of respect.
And although the shopkeeper of the cat pit viper and the Duke of Inulan do not get along with each other in old age, they have the same views on these matters.
The citizens of the Furry Duchy fought, bled and died for a master they had never met.
Wano Country, however, took the weapons it had learned from other countries and cut down the citizens of other countries.
Scold...... It's ironic.
"Get up, I'll find someone to investigate Momonosuke's whereabouts."
Karl's tone became cold, but to Duke Inuran and Raizo, it sounded like a heavenly sound.
"Thank you very much for ......"
Before Duke Inuarashi finished speaking, he was interrupted impatiently by Karl: "I have some things I want to discuss with you, except for you and Raizang, let everyone else go out first!" ”
The reason why Carl agreed to Duke Inuran's request was actually that he himself wanted to find out where Momonosuke's little ghost had gone.
For the "big celebrity" of this pirate world, it would be quite embarrassing if he couldn't see it himself.
Duke Inulan had followed Roger's pirates on adventures, and his eyesight was still strong: "May I ask Mr. Karl...... Do you have any questions? ”
"It's no problem for me to help you find Yodohime and Momonosuke, but shouldn't you show some sincerity?"
Duke Inuarashi and Raizang's faces darkened, thinking that this was a blatant benefit.
Duke Inulan asked tentatively, "Aren't you friends with Duke Mita?" What do you mean ......?"
"Of course Mitsuki and I are friends."
Carl grinned, "But I'm not friends with Yodohime and Momonosuke, and I'm not obligated to help Yodohime and Momonosuke." ”
"Hades" Reilly is the "One Piece" Gore Brown. D. Roger's co-captain, Reilly didn't react at all after hearing Sengoku reveal Ace's true identity and witnessing Ace being killed by Akainu on TV during the war.
Reilly, on the other hand, was left in tears for Whitebeard's death.
Therefore, measured by the values of this world, Carl does not feel that there is anything wrong with his words.
"This ......"
Duke Inuran and Raizang looked at each other, and they really didn't know how to refute Karl.
After a moment of silence, Duke Inuran gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you want?" ”
"I'm a 'Four Emperors' now, and the one with a higher status than the 'Four Emperors' is the only one piece left, right?"
Speaking of this, Carl suddenly laughed.
Because he found that as Cutler became stronger and stronger, his status became higher and higher, and he began to speak in a set way.
Is this still the original self who was not afraid of the sky and the earth, and was not afraid of the chic and wanton?
The development of power should only be a means to make one's life better, not the ultimate goal.
"I mean, I want the coordinates of your furry principality!"
"How do you know we have the coordinates history text here?!"
Duke Inuran and Raizo were taken aback by Karl's words.
"Ota told me, didn't I just say that? We're friends! ”
There were some things that couldn't be explained, so Carl casually told a lie, and there was no proof of it anyway.
There is a "coordinate history text" hidden on the island of Zou, which is a big secret that outsiders will never know.
Because of this, it was easier for Duke Inuran and Raizo to believe Carl's words.
"Now that you know it, then we won't hide it from you, as long as you promise to ......"
"As long as Momonosuke is alive, I promise to find information about Momonosuke for you!"
There is Nicole Robin in the Dark World, and Gilde Tezzolo on the World Government's side, and as long as Momonosuke is alive, Cutler will definitely be able to find Momonosuke's traces.
"Well, I believe in the promise of the ghosts!"
Duke Inulan's face froze, and he agreed to Karl's request.
……
WHEN KARL OBTAINED THE RUBBINGS OF THE HAIRY PRINCIPALITY'S "COORDINATE HISTORY TEXT", PLUS THE ONE HE GOT FROM BIGMOM, HE NOW HAD TWO COPIES OF THE "COORDINATE HISTORY TEXT" IN HIS HANDS.
The third is in the country of Wano, in the hands of the beast Kaido.
The last one is missing, and the most likely one is with the World Government.
But Carl is not in a hurry, after all, "One Piece" is not his dream, he just wants to collect all the "coordinate history texts" to go to Ralph Drew to satisfy his little curiosity.
Before leaving Zou, Karl left Xiongda here.
On the one hand, Xiong Da's special identity as a "talking furry animal" can facilitate him and the residents here to cultivate and cultivate relationships, and on the other hand, Xiong Da should also exercise his combat effectiveness.
Just like Luo, who once challenged the swordsmen of all walks of life in Wano Country, there are also many animals and fur warriors here who can accompany the bear to practice their skills.
Originally, Xiong Da's combat power could rank second on Carl's ship, but now except for those ordinary sailors, Xiong Da is almost at the bottom.
Carl doesn't ask Xiong Da to be so powerful, but after all, the New World is not a comfortable sea, and no matter who it is, he must work hard to improve his strength in order to protect himself.
What's more, Xiong Da can also be regarded as Carl's first "family", and Carl is even more reluctant to see Xiong Da in danger.
After leaving Zou, Carl first called Tezzolo and Robin respectively, asking them to keep an eye out for news about "Momonosuke Kotsuki" and "Yodohime".
Then he planned to go to Dressrosa to see if Caesar's research was progressing.
Two days later, the Shark, which was getting closer and closer to Dressrosa, encountered an energetic group of pirates - the Pirates of Spades!
"Hello, this young lady, do you know where the stronghold of the Ghost God Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, is? If you don't know, it's okay to tell me where the red-haired pirates are. ”
On the pirate ship, Ace, who had a smiling face and a crying face on his hat, politely asked Kiruno, who was observing the currents and weather on the deck.
Deputy Captain Dius touched Ace's arm and reminded, "Ace...... She is the navigator of the Ghost God Pirates, and the reward of 99 million Bailey's 'Flame Cat' Qiluno is offered. ”
"That's great!"
Ace pressed his hat and jumped directly from his ship onto the deck of the Shark.
"This ...... Miss Cat, I have something to ask your captain, can you help me get him out? ”
Ace's smile is very sunny and warm, after so many years with Luffy, Ace has long since stopped being as bitter and hateful as he was when he was a child, and he loves life very much now.
The crew members of the Shark stared at this energetic young man with strange expressions, and they really couldn't understand what kind of confidence made him dare to board a pirate ship of the Four Emperors alone on the premise of knowing the identity of the other party.
Through Cutler's intelligence, Kiruno still has a certain understanding of the "Spade Pirates", and she knows that although the bounty is not low, it is actually an adventurer-like pirate group similar to the "Red-Haired Pirates".
So Qiluno looked at Ace and smiled slightly: "Want to see our captain?" Okay, but you'd better beat me first! ”
"You?"
Ace looked at Kiruno with a blank expression.
After a moment of stupidity, he grinned: "I don't usually hit women." ”
"In the new world, you will lose your life if you look down on others, look at the trick!"
A "shave" flashed to Ace's side, and before Ace could react, her palm was close to Ace's chest, and the scorching flames in her hands immediately spread to Ace's body.
"So your ability is also a flame?"
Ace laughed unscathed: "It's a pity that the flames have no effect on me...... Yes...... What's going on...... It's hot! Ahhh......h
Ace hurriedly jumped backwards, and it took him a long time to get rid of the scorching fire of the hell of the "resentful spirit cat".
"You...... Why is this happening? ”
Ace stared incredulously at the red-haired woman not far in front of him.
He was actually going to be burned, which was a feeling he hadn't felt since he had eaten the "Burnt Fruit".
"'Fire Fist' Ace, a natural person with the ability to burn fruits."
At this moment, Karl, who noticed movement on the deck, walked out of the captain's room.
"Sand can extinguish fires, mud can extinguish fires, ice can extinguish fires, and magma can extinguish fires in a sense.
So...... Portkas S. D. Ace, you can't be eating the weakest natural Devil Fruit, right? ”
