This pirate is not too cold

Chapter 348 On the Importance of "Face"

In the new world, on the slightly tumbling sea, four warships were slowly sailing.

One is the "Shark" after Carl was transformed by Franky and others.

The other three are Elizabello II's main ship and two frigates.

At this time, Karl, Cirno, and Xiong Da are on Elizabello's main ship, because they are discussing the next related cooperation matters.

On Karl's "Shark", Saiku P led a group of sailors to follow on one side of the main ship, and two frigates followed on the other side and behind the main ship respectively.

Before leaving, Karl found Caesar again and made some adjustments to the tasks he had given to Caesar.

Originally, Karl researched artificial devil fruit because he wanted to cheat the Beast Pirates, but after thinking about it, as his power grew, he needed more and more funds in all aspects. In fact, selling artificial devil fruit is indeed a A good source of income.

The recommended retail price of a devil fruit on the black market is 1 million Baileys, but in fact, as a treasure in the sea, a devil fruit is a rare treasure that cannot be found unless it is known in advance that it is similar to the "whisper fruit" Except for the fruit that ordinary people can't figure out how to develop, other devil fruits, even if they don't know the specific ability, the selling price will be much higher than 1 million Baileys.

If the money is gone, you can still grab it and make more money. If the devil fruit is gone, you may really miss this village and there will be no store.

Caesar's artificial devil fruit can only produce ordinary animal devil fruit, and can only change part of the body. The selling price may not reach 1 million Baileys.

But even with a [-]% discount, this is still a lot of income.

According to the original historical development, Caesar would use the research on "Human Enormization" as an excuse to deceive BIGMOM's funds, and at the same time take the opportunity to desert to study the poisonous gas monster SMILE, which led to Caesar's extremely inefficient research on artificial devil fruits.

After Caesar was captured by Karl, he naturally didn't need to study "human giantization", and he didn't have the opportunity to study SMILE. After devoting all his energy to the research of artificial devil fruit, even if he couldn't achieve the results of Vegapunk , after all, it can still improve some efficiency.

By the way, Karl also set an additional goal for Caesar - to study poisonous gas!
Poison gas is a chemical weapon, not a bacteriological weapon.

Poisonous gas will not mutate to form a plague and spread, so it is easy to control.

Caesar is a natural "gas fruit" capable person, and is quite talented in the study of poisonous gas.

The poisonous gas he researched lasts for a long time and is highly lethal to humans and other animals, but it will not affect plants, and antidotes can also be prepared.

It has to be said that although Caesar's comprehensive scientific level is not as good as Vegapunk, he is a ghost in chemistry.

There are not many people under Karl's command who can fight on the frontal battlefield.

Carl, Luo, Cirno, Carlo, Bowness... General Franky can be counted as one, and maybe a smile can be counted as one... and then... gone.

Without resorting to some extraordinary means, against the powerful navy and the Four Emperors, even if they win in the end, they will definitely have to pay a high price.

With poisonous gas, it will be different, and Robin, Sophia, Paphis and others with flexible minds can also play a great role in the war.

War is, after all, unscrupulous.

"Karl...Karl...Karl!"

"Hey?"

Qi Lunuo lowered her voice and reminded: "Why are you distracted?"

Karl blinked, and found that sitting in front of him was a muscular brother with a crown on his head. Only then did he remember that he was discussing some issues about the Kingdom of Prodence with Queen Elizabello II.

Carl smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I thought of some details just now, please continue."

Elizabello II looked dignified: "I just talked about the BIGMOM Pirates... The Four Emperors BIGMOM, you know?"

Karl replied casually: "I know, isn't she the aunt?"

Elizabello II frowned slightly, and the military Da Gama on the side showed an expression as if an educated person looked at an illiterate, but his mouth was still very polite: "What aunt? That's BIGMOM, not aunt!"

Qi Lunuo asked Karl the doubts in his heart: "Isn't BIGMOM the aunt, isn't the aunt the BIGMOM?"

Some questions, although the leader of a team doesn't understand, but he can't ask in person. These questions sound silly, and another person with a slightly lower status needs to ask the leader for the leader-this is a matter of face.

How important is face?

In the original history, after Luffy defeated Doflamingo, the conversation between Admiral Akainu and Wu Laoxing was like this——

Akainu: You ordered the admiral to release false information for a mere Doflamingo. Where is the navy's face?
Wu Laoxing: Sakaski, remember your own identity, your face is insignificant at all!What's more, Kuzan has left the navy, can your navy still save face?
After Fujitora let go of the Luolu Alliance and knelt down to the people of Dressrosa—

Akainu: Your reckless behavior will only embarrass the navy!
Fujitora: Since you are afraid of losing face, you should hide it in your pocket as soon as possible!

Even when Luffy defeated the sand crocodile Crocodile, the navy hid the truth for the sake of face.

The Kidd Alliance said that we have already seen through everything, so we want to engage in red-haired Shanks, because we want to save face!

In the end, he was sanctioned by Heaven's Justice (Kaido) because he didn't give red hair face.

(cough... just kidding)
Da Gama, as a king's military adviser, must have understood this truth.

Qi Lunuo had been in the dark world of Xihai for a long time before, so she naturally knew how to read people's words.

Although it was only a hairy girl who asked the question, Da Gama must of course explain the question clearly: "Mom, on behalf of the mother, is the most irresistible existence in a person's life. BIGMOM is the child's mother." Used to describe my fear of mothers getting angry.

What the hell is Big Mom?Is it a vegetable seller on the street?That's aunt! "

Carl was taken aback when he heard the words. He really hadn't studied the meaning of the name BIGMOM before.

He just thinks that many people call Whitebeard "Daddy", so he naturally thinks that BIGMOM is just an "Auntie".

Thinking about it now, Edward Newgate's nicknames are "The Strongest Man in the World" and "White Beard". Call Dad.

And "BIGMOM" is Charlotte Lingling's nickname, which probably means "Irresistible like an angry mother", which can explain the horror of BIGMOM!
Then Karl smiled: "Maybe to you, she is a BIGMOM, but to me, she is just an aunt!"

Seeing that Da Gama curled his lips and hesitated to speak, Karl directly changed the subject: "I don't know how His Majesty the King thinks about my proposal? Establish a military factory belonging to us in Prodence! "

Elizabello II was still a little uneasy: "Mr. Carl, you are thinking too early, right? If the BIGMOM pirates invade, even if we build a factory, we will not be able to keep it!"

Carl's eyes flickered, with a look of anticipation on purpose: "Can't you just blow her back with one punch?"

"Forehead……"

Elizabello II and Vasco da Gama glanced at each other, and then said with embarrassment: "My King's Fist in full condition does have the power of the Four Emperors, but it is only equivalent to the full strength of the Four Emperors." With one punch, how can we really fight the Four Emperors?"

The reason why Elizabello II was able to say these words to Karl was mainly because of his trust in King Riku.

But Karl didn't like to gossip everywhere, he just showed a look like that.

Like Karp's fist that popped a green pepper.

Karp can be used at any time, and after one round is used up, there will be a second round, a third round... a steady stream.

And Elizabello II has the power of a full-strength punch after accumulating power for an hour... This is more embarrassing!

However, compared to Garp's Iron Fist, Elizabello II's King's Fist still has an impact effect, but it is probably about the same as BIGMOM's "Elbaf's Gun Weiguo".

Karl stopped mentioning this matter when he heard the words, and saved a little face for Elizabello II, and changed the subject: "You should know that about three years ago, the Navy and the BIGMOM Pirates broke out in the New World G1 branch. A war?"

"remember."

Elizabello II nodded: "That war ended with the death of Charlotte Owen, the fourth son of the Charlotte family, and declared the navy's complete victory!"

Carl squinted his eyes and stared at Elizabello II who was opposite him: "Actually, I captured Charlotte Katakuri and Charlotte Cracker. If it wasn't for me, the navy would have no chance to handle it." BIGMOM Pirates?"

Elizabello II also narrowed her eyes, apparently not believing Karl's words.

"If you don't believe it, forget it."

Karl smiled indifferently: "Since you think I can't control this matter, you should hire someone else, I'm really not humble."

"It's not that I don't believe it."

Elizabello II smiled faintly: "Actually, we are also very interested in the new weapons on your ship, Mr. Carl."

Elizabello II is called the "King of War" not only because of his natural brute force. Under his leadership, Predence's combat power can be said to be at the top level of neighboring countries, only the country of pirates Rommel's kingdom can be compared with it.

In fact, there is a saying that Elizabello II didn't say. As early as King Liku, he had already learned that the newly appointed Viscount Trafalgar Law was Karl's man.

Even one of his cadres can defeat "Tian Yasha" Don Quixote Doflamingo, so how powerful should he be?

If it weren't for this information, Elizabello II would definitely not dare to face the BIGMOM Pirates with Carl's support.

"I'm just a little worried about the power under BIGMOM, after all, it's a pirate emperor...more gold than me, the king..."

Carl comforted: "You don't have to worry about this, the BIGMOM Pirates are already so busy that they can't spare any extra troops to invade the whole country."

The disappearance of the King of the Sea, the Queen of Happy Street... and other underground bosses will have a huge impact on the power of the BIGMOM Pirates.

Until now, no one has directly troubled Carl, which shows that the strength of the BIGMOM Pirates has been stretched.

The BIGMOM pirates are not like the red-haired pirates, they are adventurous pirates. Once something goes wrong, they can drag their families and go to the enemy to settle accounts.

In order to satisfy BIGMOM's endless and extremely tricky appetite and her wish to establish Totland, the BIGMOM Pirates need countless sites to provide them with various resources.

What's more, with Carl's current strength, even if BIGMOM himself comes, he is not afraid, he has prepared a big gift for BIGMOM!
After several people discussed some details, Carl suggested: "Why don't we introduce our new weapons to you next!"

Elizabeth II's eyes lit up: "Okay, then please trouble Mr. Carl!"

In this world of distorted technological development, although there are already special rifles that far exceed the technological level of the earth, most people, including the sniper Jesus Bu of the Red Hair Pirates, are still using flintlock rifles.

However, after communicating with Carl, Jesus Bu's pistol should have been replaced with a revolver.

After learning some design skills from Jesus Bu, because spear skills were not practical for him, Karl took shooting as a hobby similar to "fishing".

And the real person who learns spearmanship is actually Qi Lunuo (Chapter 186), who is naturally knowledgeable and domineering.

On a ship, technicians generally need six navigators, cooks, snipers, doctors, shipwrights, and gunners.

During these three years, Karl has mastered navigation and ship repairing skills proficiently. Although he is incomparable with professionals, if there is a shortage of these positions on the ship, he can also play a temporary role so that he will not be at a loss.

In Karl's previous life, in that era of fast-paced life, it was difficult for a person to learn so many skills because of study or work, but here, he had enough time to gradually improve himself.

As Carrett's leader, Carl also often had to deal with many organizational issues.

In contrast, Cirno has more free time, and she covers a wider field than Carl.

For example, now, Qilu Nuo is already an excellent sniper.

So when Cirno took out a Franky handmade special sniper rifle that was taller than herself after assembly from a rectangular box that Xiong Da had been carrying, Elizabello II and everyone on board were shocked. Stunned: "This is the new weapon you developed?"

"Yes."

Carl's eyes were also focused on this sniper rifle, after all, there are not many men who are not interested in guns.

When Karl wants to play with guns, he uses other sniper rifles and ordinary bolt-action rifles.

He would not touch this sniper rifle specially customized by Frankie for Cirno, because he was not a professional sniper and he did not want to cause even the slightest damage.
