Chapter 086: New Year's Banquet
Since ancient times, the true love has not been retained, and it has always won the hearts of the people.
Just like Nicole Robin at the beginning, Carl finally tricked Luo into the Kara family by launching the "Mouth Escape Great Flickering Technique".
Since Carl became the king of the Seven Martial Seas, he has not taken the initiative to make trouble, but has stayed in the West Sea in peace, and has been secretly integrating the underground forces of the West Sea.
With Robin's wisdom and the "Silver Fang" killer organization controlled by Bonis to assist, although there will still be some small forces left in the corners, but at this time in the underground world of the West Sea, there is no one who does not know the title of "Mr.V".
Just as Doflamingo and Crocodall have the titles of "JOKER" and "Mr.0" respectively, Karl, as the king of the Seven Martial Seas, naturally cannot blatantly use the name "Shadow Knife" Carl to develop underground forces on a large scale.
As a result, Carl, a "patient with difficult naming syndrome", didn't bother to use any brains, and directly copied the name of a movie character he liked very much in his previous life.
"Mr.V", a mysterious figure who wanders in the shadows......
Peaceful days always pass quickly, and before you know it, the year 1508 of the sea calendar has come to an end, and this year the sea is relatively calm, and there are only two major events that can attract the attention of the world.
The first is that "Tom's studio's sea train 'Jet Tom' was completed, which successfully crossed the sea and opened up the route between the 'Seven Waters Capital' Water Seven Islands and the World Government Justice Island".
Another major event is that "Karl the 'Shadow Knife', who was born in the Western Sea and originally had a bounty of 81 million Baileys, defeated Don Quixote Doflamingo of 'Tenyasha' and became the new king of the Seven Martial Seas."
There is actually an undercurrent surging above the seemingly calm sea, and the pirates are secretly carrying out their own plans, trying to stir up earth-shattering storms and waves on this sea.
Xihai, the capital of the country of flowers, is crowded with people on the streets, brightly lit and lively.
Before this year, the country has been shrouded in the clouds of war, although it is a few small frictions, not enough to have a big impact on the country of flowers, but the war on the border is like a haze, always shrouded in the hearts of the people, lingering.
But this year is different, the king actually befriended a world government appointed "His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas", and this Mr. Karl really lived up to expectations, and completely eliminated the arms dealers who provided weapons to the enemy country.
And not only that, Mr. Karl even publicly announced that from now on this country of flowers is his friend, and any pirate who dares to make trouble here is challenging him, and he will personally eliminate those lawless people who harm the people.
Just like Alabastan's Klockdahl, Karl "Shadow Knife" has clearly become a hero in the hearts of the people of the Land of Flowers.
"Wow, Mom, look, this sea beast is so big! But why does it seem to have been cut open? ”
On the celebration square of the country of flowers, a little girl pointed to the corpse of a small sea king in the middle of the square, blinked her big smart eyes, and asked curiously.
"Little girl, you don't know yet, do you? This sea king was caught by Mr. Karl himself. ”
The little girl's mother hadn't spoken yet, but a nearby man had come over.
"I saw it all with my own eyes, when a fishing boat wanted to go to sea, but unexpectedly a sea beast swam in the distance, my God, this sea beast is bigger than a small cargo ship, the situation was too dangerous!"
"And then, and then?" The little girl was attracted by the story of the strange Shu Huang and asked nervously.
If it weren't for the fact that the dead sea beast not far away was indeed like a small mountain, the little girl would definitely think that this uncle was talking nonsense.
"Later...... Mr. Karl happened to pass by the harbor and noticed an anomaly on the sea, and guess what? Without hesitation, Mr. Karl jumped into the sea, caught up with the fishing boat, and killed the sea beast with a single sword! ”
"At that time, the people in the port were stupid, if Mr. Karl hadn't taken the initiative to remind everyone to bring back the meat, maybe this sea king meat would have been wasted!"
"Really? Mr. Karl is so powerful! ”
After listening to the man's story, the little girl's eyes seemed to be shining with golden stars, and even the little girl's mother covered her little mouth in surprise.
The man was so pleased with the reaction of the little girl and her mother that it was the eighth time he had told the story. But whenever he meets someone who doesn't know what happened, he has to tell it to his heart's content, and he likes the feeling of being noticed when telling a story.
At this time, Karl was in the palace of the country of flowers, drinking and chatting with the king of the country of flowers.
"Mr. Karl, I've always been curious, why didn't you accept the invitation of our Nine Treasures Water Army in the Land of Flowers? Now that you look at it, you have a much bigger goal! ”
The King of the Flower Country sat in the chief, Karl sat in the VIP seat, and the royal table was surrounded by York and other princely ministers.
"King, you've won the prize. Even if I didn't set up the Nine Treasures Water Army, we could still work together happily, which didn't hinder our identity as friends at all! ”
Carl was telling the truth, he had no intention of stealing the country.
If Carl wants to challenge the authority of the world government and erase his status as a pirate once and for all, then stealing the country is not the best solution.
Stealing the country means developing one's power steadily.
It was not difficult for Carl to steal a country, but as his power expanded, Carl did not have enough men to defend his territory.
The best solution would be, like the revolutionary army led by Dorag, to draw the existing kingdom into its own camp, and finally respond to the call of the world government.
There is never a real friend or enemy between countries, only eternal interests.
"Hahahaha...... Mr. Carr is right, come on, let's have a friendship for everyone...... Cheers! ”
The King of the Flower Country took the lead in raising his glass, and the ministers stood up in response, and Karl also drank the wine from the glass with a smile.
The banquets in the palace will continue for a long time.
Karl got up and left halfway through, bidding farewell to the noisy royal banquet.
He stepped on the moon step and flew in the direction of the bamboo forest where the kung fu panda was.
Kung Fu Panda, Robin, Cirno, Ponis, Rowe, and Pafez who hasn't done anything until now, they're all waiting there.
There's a barbecue in the open air.
That's what really belongs to Carl's New Year's party.
