Chapter 364: The Pirate Emperor's Bounty!
The Great Route, Paradise, the Navy Headquarters Marin Fodo, the office of Marshal "Buddha" of the Warring States.
Sengoku picked up the document on the desk and read it over and over again, but finally only frowned slightly and sighed.
He never wanted to believe that Vice Admiral "Ghost Bamboo" Virgo, who he had originally promoted with one hand, would be an undercover agent of the Don Quixote family.
Sengoku is a smart person, and after a simple deduction, he understands that the reason why Rosinandi exposed his identity in the first place is because of this Virgo.
Time had passed for a long time, and Sengoku had almost passed the grief of this incident, but now that he was tossed like this, he remembered the figure that had lingered in his mind every night.
"Trafalgar Rowe, superhuman, Surgical Fruit Ability...... Is he the little boy that Rosinandi desperately wants to save? ”
Sengoku looked at the photo of Luo taken by Yu Dressrosa, and after a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, this little ghost didn't go to be a pirate, and he didn't waste Luo Nandi's intentions." ”
Next to Rowe's profile is the profile of the recently appointed new Vice Admiral "Carlo" of the Navy Headquarters.
After the undercover Virgo incident, Sengoku originally did not plan to appoint Carlo as a vice admiral, but the group of rogue navies of the Navy's G5 branch in the New World, if a vice admiral was parachuted from the headquarters, they might not be able to subdue them.
The rapid promotion of Carlo to the vice admiral of the headquarters and the head of the G5 branch of the Navy was also a helpless move.
Sengoku closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair, frowning and rubbing his temples.
Vice Admiral Carlo, who was originally a corporal of the 204th Branch of the Navy in the West Sea, later came to the Navy Headquarters with Colonel Taryn, the colonel of the 204th Branch and the current Colonel of the Headquarters.
During Caro's military career, he made many military achievements, and even walked in front of Tyron, who single-handedly promoted him, and finally took the initiative to ask to develop in the G5 branch of the Navy in New World.
"Is it a coincidence that Virgo asked for the same thing?"
Carlo will choose to go to the G5 branch, this is really not Carl's arrangement, but Carlo's own choice made by Carlo, who was disappointed in the so-called "justice" of the Navy Headquarters.
Frustrated, Carlo thought that if he died in the most dangerous G5 branch, it would be a hundred ends.
He didn't expect to meet his childhood friend Carl again, and that guy was doing something really big.
As before, Carlo once again chose to trust his friend, and he wanted to see what would become of Carl, a guy who could always do things he didn't expect.
"Why can't I collect information about him......"
The Warring States period is now a time to be bitten by a snake for ten years, afraid of the well rope.
Although Carlo made a great contribution in the "Virgo Incident", he was even seriously injured for it.
But Sengoku still stepped up the investigation of Caro's background.
Unfortunately, he only found out that Carlo was born in the West Sea, was originally a bounty hunter, and went undercover in the "Walker Pirates", and finally killed all the pirates of the Walker Pirates, so he joined the 204 branch and became a navy.
No earlier information can be investigated.
Originally, Carl and Carlo were once adopted by an old fisherman who lived alone.
After the old fisherman died, Carl and Carlo became orphans, and later joined the "Walker Pirates" together in pursuit of "ONEPIECE" to become the king of the pirates.
The small island they used to live on was somewhat similar to the town of Magic Valley on the island of Great Voyage Gaya, and it was a very unpeaceful island.
Except for the old fisherman, who has passed away, the two are almost unrelated.
Later, Carlo joined the army, and when Carl developed the underground power of the Kara family in the West Sea, he cleaned the island by the way.
Carl and Carlo have become complete "black households", and no one knows their backgrounds except for the two of them.
Tuk Tuk ......
Sengoku, who was thinking, suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Report to the Sengoku Marshal, Lieutenant General Carlo has arrived!"
"Very well, let him in!"
By the time Carlo entered, Sengoku had already put away the materials on his desk and stamped Ro's picture on top.
Carlo, as usual, first saluted the Warring States with a standard military salute: "Lieutenant General Carlo, come to report!" ”
"Good!"
Sengoku got up, he led Carlo to sit on the sofa, and said with a smile: "They are already lieutenant generals, don't be so restrained like a recruit, sit!" ”
Carlo didn't say anything polite to Sengoku, and since Sengoku asked him to sit, he sat down.
Poured a cup of hot tea for Carlo and himself, and Sengoku took two sips before asking leisurely: "Carlo, are you interested in returning to the headquarters to develop?" ”
"Report Marshal, I think the new world is good! I love fighting on the front lines against the most vicious pirates! ”
Carlo's remark is half-true.
At first, he did think so, but now, it's to make it easier to get in touch with Carl.
After defeating the BIGMOM Pirates, Carl has become the fourth "One Piece Emperor" by default by both the Navy and the Pirates, and has strengthened his surveillance, which is why Carl changed the Piao Fruit twice before handing it over to Carlo.
Although his bounty is still 1 billion Bailey has not been updated, Carlo knows that according to some rumors in the headquarters, he actually has not made up his mind yet.
What Carlo didn't know was that the five old stars had been trying to find a way to investigate what the blue-purple giant sea kings that were said to have swallowed the entire Homiz army of BIGMOM in one gulp, and which Morgans boasted as "Poseidon, the king of the sea".
As early as three years ago, they found out that the "mermaid princess" Bai Xing of Fish-Man Island is the "Sea King Poseidon" of this generation, otherwise how could Princess Otohime bring back the letter signed by the Draconian?
They didn't know what Carl's abilities were, they just knew that the pirate's abilities were mysterious and powerful.
"I told you everything, don't be so restrained, relax!"
Sengoku, who was sitting on the sofa, showed a gentle smile to Caro, as approachable as a kind old man: "It's really good that young people are motivated, but you can't just know how to use brute force, sometimes you still need to be flexible." ”
will be outside, and the king's order will not be affected.
If Carlo can be recalled to the Navy Headquarters, first, it can strengthen the control of Caro, and secondly, it can also monitor Caro's every move in an all-weather and all-round way.
Sengoku has already decided, it is best to persuade Carlo to come back, and if he is not convinced, he must be ordered to come back using military orders.
"Then I'll listen to the marshal's arrangement." Carlo, who had relaxed, grinned and looked very honest.
After chatting a few more words about the G5 branch, just as Carlo was blowing on the teacup, Sengoku suddenly asked, "I heard that you ate a Devil Fruit that can make objects fly in the sky?" ”
Caro's gaze swept left and right unnaturally, and the originally calm water in the teacup also shook, and this "nervous" move naturally did not escape the sight of the Warring States.
Bringing the tea to his lips and taking a sip, Carlo's movements were slow, as if he was stalling for time.
Sengoku kept squinting at Caro's expression and didn't urge Carlo.
When Carlo finally put the teacup on the coffee table, he looked at Sengoku, and his expression was already serious: "Report to the marshal, I did eat a devil fruit that can make objects fly."
First of all, I can fly anytime and anywhere.
Secondly, if it is an object that I touch, I can control its floating and movement with my mind.
Also, even if I haven't touched an object, I can use a force that I don't know how to pull them in, like a performer manipulating a marionette.
But there's a problem, my abilities don't work on other creatures. ”
These are the three major abilities of the "Piao Piao Fruit", and all of Carlo's brains are reported to the Warring States.
At the request of the Warring States, Carlo even performed separately.
"Carlo, you're really lucky."
Sengoku sighed, his appearance didn't seem to be fake, and Carlo couldn't understand what he was sighing about.
Seeing Carlo's dazed face, Sengoku explained: "This is the former pirate legend, the 'Piao Piao Fruit' of the flying thief 'Golden Lion' Shiji, but I didn't expect it to be picked up by you." ”
In the Navy's regulations, it is not mandatory for soldiers to turn in Devil Fruits when they pick them up, because that is not realistic.
However, if the Devil Fruit is handed in, it will be rewarded with corresponding military merit.
Carlo has been in the New World, and it makes sense that he could encounter a Devil Fruit.
And looking at Caro's various reactions, there is indeed no doubt about the appearance of getting the Devil Fruit and eating it without authorization for fear of being blamed by his superiors, and finally reporting his ability truthfully.
It's just that Sengoku didn't expect that the Devil Fruit that Carlo ate turned out to be the Devil Fruit of the Golden Lion Shiki, who had made a big fuss at the Navy Headquarters and finally captured it by himself and Karp.
Why did that guy die all of a sudden?
When did he die?
Why is there no news from the Navy at all?
The Warring States, who were over seventy years old, suddenly had a kind of sadness like a kind of thing.
Over the years, rookies of pirates have emerged one after another.
Although the Navy had Polusalino, Sakasky, and Kuzan successfully filled the vacant position of admiral, there were no new good seedlings found in the navy of the younger generation.
Caro's physical skills and military exploits are not bad, and now he has obtained the "fluttering fruit", which is even more powerful.
Sengoku sincerely hopes that Carlo can be a pure navy, so that there is hope for the future of the navy.
Sengoku looked at Carlo, who was a little nervous and a little lucky, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Caro, since you are already a vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters, you might as well give yourself a nickname." ”
Most of the admirals have nicknames, especially vice admirals and admirals, and almost everyone must have a nickname.
Some of them were called out by word of mouth, such as "Iron Fist", "Black Wrist" and "Ghost Spider", and some were directly called, such as "Red Dog", "Green Pheasant" and "Flying Squirrel".
Carlo was stunned: "Uh...... I didn't think about that......"
"It doesn't matter, I can think of one for you, of course, I'm not forcing you, you don't want to like it."
Carlo was in awe: "Please speak." ”
"Yellow Ape, Green Pheasant, Red Dog, Tea Dolphin, Flying Squirrel, Peach Rabbit and several of their nicknames are all given by me, I think about it, now there are alternatives to cows, tigers, snakes, horses, sheep...... What animals do you like? ”
Carlo couldn't help frowning slightly, why are these animals......
In fact, the animal that Warring States likes happens to be the "Zodiac", but because the "dragon" committed the taboo of "Tianlong Man", he eliminated it.
"Then the tiger......"
Carlo made her choice almost without any entanglement, because among the five animals, the tiger was left to be a little more domineering.
Warring States touched his long beard like a braid, and said leisurely: "I see that you usually like to wear white clothes, so it might as well be called 'White Tiger', if you don't like it, then combined with your ability to flutter fruits, in fact, 'Flying Tiger' is also quite good." ”
Caro's eyebrows furrowed even more: "Can we change it?" ”
Warring States smiled, and turned into a kind old man again: "Flying snake, Pegasus, Aries...... Which one do you prefer? ”
"Isn't it okay to be white?"
"Isn't that a pirate's nickname? The Cavendish who is called the 'Pirate Noble'. ”
Originally, a small character like Cavendish (not a supernova yet), Sengoku would not care.
But that guy is so famous on the other hand that even Sengoku is inevitably affected by all kinds of news in the newspapers.
"Then ...... Flying Tiger Bar ......"
Carlo said that he really couldn't understand Sengoku's tastes.
In contrast, only "Flying Tiger" sounds relatively normal to him.
After leaving Sengoku's office, Sengoku met Lieutenant Commander "Black Threshold" Tina, a lieutenant commander of the Navy Headquarters who had fought side by side several times.
Tina "Black Sill" and "White Hunter" Smoker are among the few navies who have been nicknamed by others before they have reached the rank of general, thanks to their characteristic Devil Fruit abilities.
The relationship between Carlo and Tina is not good, but it is not bad either, and can only be described as "colleagues".
After the two said hello, Tina took the initiative to say, "The new bounty order for 'Ghost God' Karl has come out, have you heard?" ”
Carlo's face became solemn: "I don't know......"
……
New World, within the realm of the "Hundred Beasts" Pirates.
Kaido once again crumpled the newspaper and threw it on the ground as usual, and he poured himself a few sips of wine and yelled angrily, "Ah Jin! Quinn! Jack! Lao Tzu can't wait! How's that going?! ”
The head of the "Three Calamities", "Frost Calamity", Ah Jin, replied respectfully: "Lord Kaido, I am waiting for you to come in person!" ”
"Good!"
After all the pirates left, the pirate in charge of cleaning saw the newspaper crumpled by Kaido, and out of curiosity, he picked it up.
There was also a bounty in the newspaper.
Pirate "Ghost God" Carl, bounty 2,000,000,000 - Bailey!
(Thank you for the tip!) ^_^)
