"Bailey? A lot of Bailey? Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Kalmo rubbed his chin and smiled after a moment's silence, "It's kind of interesting...... Let's hear it. ”

With a wave of his hand, the middle-aged man motioned to his subordinates outside the door to close the door, and then walked to the table in the room, pretending to smile deeply, "Can I sit down and talk?" ”

"Okay, sit down and talk slowly." Karl raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand to signal the middle-aged man to take a seat, regardless of whether the other party sat down or not, he was already sitting on the opposite side.

The middle-aged man was only slightly stunned, and quickly regained his smiling expression, "I don't know your surname, sir?" ”

"Let's talk about Bailey first, and then talk about the rest."

Looking at Carl's non-negotiable expression, the middle-aged man roughly understood what Carl meant: If the matter of money can be negotiated, the later things can continue, and even the money cannot be discussed, so don't know each other.

But since it was his own request, the middle-aged man decided to be open and honest first, "I can't hide it, I'm actually a businessman from the country of flowers." ”

As soon as he said that, the middle-aged man asked Carl another question, "Please forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, sir, have you ever heard of the country of flowers?" ”

The land of flowers, Carl had certainly heard of it.

Isn't it what kind of father-son wine Luffy drank, the hometown of the newly harvested son, Babao Shuijun, Qingjiao and Lao Cai.

A picture popped into Carl's mind: How could it be! I consider you friends, but you consider me .jpg father.

But this Eight Treasure Water Army doesn't seem to be a good thing, it's the official pirate group of the Flower Country?

Karl remembers reading in books that in the past, in Europe, certain countries would encourage their people to become pirates and plunder in order to develop their economies.

After all, plundering is the most primitive and effective form of capital accumulation.

After a quick repetition of his mind, Carl pulled his thoughts back to reality once again, "It's a little impressive, but it's not very familiar." I heard that there are a lot of pirates coming? ”

"Hehe......" The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and did not deny Carl's remarks, "The scandal of the country made Mr. laugh." ”

"Oh, why are you so abrasive? If you have anything to say, you can just say it, I hate beating around the bush! Carl suddenly remembered that he was playing the role of a murderous god who was only interested in women, and an impatient expression instantly appeared on his face.

"Sir, don't be in a hurry, let me speak slowly."

Carl wanted to spray the other party, "Don't you understand people?" Let you not grind and you will take your time", but after thinking about it, Carl thought it was better to forget it. After all, I'm not in a hurry to play games now, and it's a distraction to be accompanied by someone to chat.

"Although our country of flowers is far away in our West Sea, it is also one of the member countries of the world government. That's why they dare to brazenly develop a violent group called a water army that is actually a pirate. After a pause, seeing that Carl didn't even raise his eyelids after hearing the key words "World Government Member States", the middle-aged man continued to add, "Although the country has developed and prospered, it is only the people above who eat meat, and the thugs follow to drink soup, and businessmen like us who do their duty to do business are getting worse and harder, thanks to those violent groups, the surrounding countries are becoming more and more hostile to us." ”

The words that the middle-aged man said to Carl were not classified secrets, and if he had a heart, it would not be difficult to find out the information. So he simply told Carl directly, and made a favor to push the boat.

Carl still remembers that this country of flowers will be plunged into years of war in the future because of the JOKER in the dark world, Don Quixote Doflamingo's arms sales in the underground world.

But if you count the time, Doflamingo should still be being chased all over the world by Lieutenant General Crane, right? Presumably, he doesn't care about getting involved in any arms dealings.

Click, click, click......

After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Carl did not answer, his eyes were fixed on the teacup on the table, and his right index finger slowly tapped rhythmically on the table in front of him.

The middle-aged man saw Carl's impatience, and he was already dissatisfied with Carl's disrespectful attitude. However, he also knows that it is always difficult for people with skills to serve, not to mention that he still has requests for others, so it is even more necessary to be patient.

"That's right, I'm going to negotiate a deal with a foreigner in a few days, and that guy is my old partner, but now it's getting more and more inch-in, and he even threatens me with methods! I'm going to break with him once and for all after this last deal, so I thought ......"

"So you want to hire me as your bodyguard?" Finally hearing useful information, Carl directly spoke the words behind him for the middle-aged man.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant." Afraid that Karl would have some misunderstanding, the middle-aged man hurriedly explained, "I want to ask you to go to the town, sir, if I encounter danger at that time, I hope you can help save the emergency." ”

"Isn't this still a bodyguard?"

"It's a ...... of two different things with bodyguards"

"Okay, okay, you don't have to explain, I don't mean anything else. I just want to confirm my mission. Karl stopped the middle-aged man's reluctance and led the conversation to the other side, "But why don't you invite someone from the Eight Treasures Naval Army or a master of your Flower Country?" ”

The middle-aged man felt a little frustrated, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It's not a secret, those people in the Eight Treasures Water Army are all barbaric, where will they care about the life or death of our merchants." As for the masters of the state, they have long accompanied the nobles and lords to the great voyage to see what sea trains. ”

"Sea trains?"

"I don't know what it is, but I heard that you can sail on the sea without sails, and it seems to have been designed and built by a fish-man named Tom, and it was just completed this year." As if hearing some big joke, the middle-aged man sneered, "Hehe, no sails or oars, what does it take to sail on the sea?" Nonsense! ”

Karl didn't bother to explain the sea train to the other party, but after thinking about it, he remembered another person, "Why don't you go to Daz Bonis (Mr. 1)?" That guy is now famous, and he's in the limelight! ”

"The imp nicknamed 'Swordsman's Buster'?" The middle-aged man shook his head and said angrily, "That guy is a madman, I looked for him once." But he said that he was a killer, and only a killer - he said that he would only kill, as long as he gave money, he could kill anyone, men, women, old people, children, as long as he was alive, he would dare to kill in the navy! But if he were to protect people, he said he wouldn't! ”

"Hahahaha, this is really like a madman." Carl couldn't help laughing, the facial paralysis monk who looked extremely cold in the future, didn't expect to have such a second-class side when he was young.

"Then who do you think is more powerful, me or that swordsman nemesis?"

"This, it's hard to say......" The middle-aged man didn't quite understand what Carl meant, for fear that he would offend him by saying the wrong thing.

"But it doesn't matter, I just want to judge my combat effectiveness and see if I can reach the level of my peers in the industry."

"If it's the two of you fighting, I'm not sure. But when it comes to killing speed, you're still better! ”

This is the answer finally given by the middle-aged man after some thought.

"But I'm actually a pirate, aren't you afraid?" Carl stood up suddenly, his hands propped on the table, staring at the middle-aged man in front of him.

Facing Carl's gaze, the middle-aged man also slowly stood up, and on his face, he didn't show a panicked look, "Those who do our job never care whether the people who cooperate with them are pirates or navy. As long as you don't plan to eat black, then we can all be friends. ”

"Very well, I think we can talk about honorariums next."
