Chapter 082: Bargaining
"Well, you should be the 'Shadow Knife' Carl who defeated Doflamingo, right?"
After Kuzan left, Lieutenant General Crane walked up to Karl and gave a faint "greeting".
"I know you too, you are the vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters - Crane!"
Karl withdrew the broken soul from the scabbard, and the expression on his face was neither humble nor arrogant.
"I didn't expect that I was so old, and there were juniors like you who knew about me...... What an honor! ”
Lieutenant General Crane did not speak loudly, but her words were clear and sonorous, and she exuded a kind of wisdom temperament all the time.
Vice Admiral Tsuru and Karl ignored the ship's sailors, and the two stood face to face on the deck and talked.
"You said you wanted to use Doflamingo as a bargaining chip to exchange the position of His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas with the World Government. But why? I see that you are young, shouldn't you be the age when you are passionate and brave all over the world? There was no sadness or joy in Lieutenant General Tsuru's eyes, as if Carl standing in front of him was not a vicious pirate, but just a young junior.
"Not every pirate wants to be an enemy of the navy...... If I could become the king of the Seven Martial Seas, the world's navies wouldn't always think about arresting me when they saw me. And how loud is the name of His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas, the average little hairy thief may be so frightened that he runs away with his tail between his legs when he hears this title, right? It also saves me a lot of trouble. ”
Karl truthfully informed Lieutenant General Tsuru of part of his purpose.
Won't it be an enemy of the Navy...... At least not yet.
Taoguang and dark development are the last word.
After he has accumulated enough strength and power, whether it is the navy or the Four Emperors, he does not need to give face to anyone at that time.
The so-called freedom is not to stir up waves on the sea like a madman, but that no one on this sea can threaten you anymore!
"Well, that sounds reasonable." Lieutenant Crane wrapped his arms around his chest, raised his eyelids, and said quietly: "In that case, I will truthfully report this matter to Marshal Kong." When I bring Doflamingo back, the Navy will begin to draw up the rules for appointing you as King of the Seven Martial Seas. ”
"Hahahaha......" Hearing this, Carl laughed out loud.
"Lieutenant General Crane, do you really think of me as a teenager? If I give Doflamingo to you now, won't I be playing my only hole card? When that time comes, whether or not to appoint me as the king of the Seven Martial Seas will depend on your mood? If you suddenly change your mind and come to this Western Sea to fight against me, will I not lose a lot? ”
"And what do you want?" Of course, Lieutenant General Tsuru didn't believe that she could successfully fool the pirate in front of her with a casual word, she just saw that the other party was young and had a glimmer of hope to try.
"Now that we've reached an agreement, let's talk about the rest of the matter."
"I don't understand the specific process of your navy, and I don't care. But I hope that Vice Admiral Tsuru will report the situation here to the Navy Headquarters as soon as possible, and when the World Government officially recognizes the identity of His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas in the newspaper, I will naturally hand over Doflamingo to your Navy with my own hands. ”
Hearing Karl's request, Lieutenant General Crane narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze flickered secretly.
She wasn't worried that Karl would go back on his word, after all, since the World Government had the power to appoint him as the king of the Seven Martial Seas, it naturally had the power to strip him of his title.
She was just worried that this little ghost on the other side had such a careful mind at a young age, and let a pirate like him become the king of the Seven Martial Seas...... Is it really suitable?
Sighing silently in his heart, Lieutenant General Crane said slowly: "But you must know that the appointment process of His Majesty's Seven Martial Seas cannot be completed in just a few days. ”
"The last thing I lack is time, I'll wait!"
As soon as Lieutenant General Tsuru's words fell, Karl replied, and at the same time threw a friendly smile at Lieutenant General Tsuru.
But Lieutenant General Crane always faintly felt that there was a murderous motive hidden in that smiling face.
After a long time, Lieutenant General Tsuru finally compromised with Karl.
Sengoku's sad face has lasted too long.
And the Navy is facing increasingly unbearable pressure in the New World.
In the first half of the Great Voyage, there were also frequent things that were difficult to control.
Fishman Fisher Fisher Tiger, who burned the Holy Land of Mary Joy......
The sea thief "red-haired" Shanks, who frequently haunts the four seas......
Hilbas Reilly, the "Hades" who suddenly appeared on the Chambord Islands......
The navy is already stretched thin, and it really needs a strong boost at this time.
The world government has ...... No choice!
"Alright, just do as you say."
"A wise decision!"
Karl turned around and was about to leave the warship, when he suddenly remembered something else.
"Lieutenant General Crane, are you going to wait in the West Sea until the order comes down? Or do you plan to return to the Navy headquarters first? If you don't mind, you can go to Kleman Island to take a break, I'm in for a treat! ”
Karl didn't want the warship to go to Lustre.
There are veteran Vice Admiral Crane and Lieutenant General "Pheasant" who once participated in the Demon Slaying Order, and if they bump into Nicole Robin, it will be a lot of fun.
"Forget it, we'll go back first."
Although the current Tsuru is not the future chief of staff, Marshal Kong has always needed her opinion as a reference for a high-level meeting like this.
"Lieutenant General Kuzan? Lieutenant General Kuzan?! ”
"Huh?"
The sleepy-eyed Kuzan walked slowly from the stern to the bow, and after sleeping for a short time, his hair became even more messy......
"You can stay with this 'Shadow Knife' Carl for the time being, and if someone else wants to rob Doflamingo, you can also help by the way."
"This ...... Okay, okay. Really, I thought I could go back. ”
Although he complained so much, Kuzan knew in his heart that Senior Crane needed him to keep an eye on this "shadow knife" Carl.
"Need a boat?"
"No!"
As soon as Kuzan finished speaking, he leaped to the surface of the sea, and beneath his feet, endless ice floes spread in all directions, extending to the vicinity of the warship, and in an instant it was a small Iceland.
"Drop the bike for me!"
The female sailors threw their bicycles directly on the warship, and Kuzan picked up the bicycles and rode directly on them.
"Come on, little brother, just follow me."
Regardless of Karl's reaction, Kuzan rode in the direction of Kleiman Island on his own.
"I hope there won't be any mess these days."
With a deep prayer, Karl jumped off the warship and left Vice Admiral Tsuru's warship along the frozen ice trail of Kuzan.
