This pirate is not too cold

Chapter 8 The Merchants of the Country of Flowers
"Bailey? A lot of Baileys?" Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Carl rubbed his chin, pondered for a moment and then smiled, "It's interesting... Let's hear it."

After waving his hand, the middle-aged man signaled the men 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." Carl raised his eyebrows, and stretched out his hand to signal the middle-aged man to take a seat. He didn't care if the other party sat down, but he sat down on the opposite side.

The middle-aged man was only slightly taken aback, and soon returned to his smiling expression, "I don't know what your name is, sir?"

"Talk about Bailey first, and talk about other things later."

Seeing Karl's unnegotiable expression, the middle-aged man roughly understood what Karl meant: only when the money matter can be settled can the rest of the matter continue.

However, since he had something to ask for from others, the middle-aged man decided to be honest first, "To be honest, I am actually a businessman from the Kingdom of Flowers."

Just now, the middle-aged man asked Karl another question, "Excuse me for asking, sir, have you heard of the Kingdom of Flowers?"

Of course Karl has heard of the Kingdom of Flowers.

Isn't it the hometown of Luffy's newly adopted son, Qingjiao and Lao Cai, who drink some father-son wine.

A picture suddenly appeared in Carl's mind: How unreasonable!I regard you as friends, but you recognize me as your father.jpg.

But this eight-treasure navy doesn't seem to be a good thing, is it the official pirate group of the Kingdom of Flowers?

Karl remembered that he had read in a book that in the past in Europe, some countries would encourage their people to become pirates and plunder in order to develop their economy.

After all, plunder is the most primitive and effective way of capital accumulation.

Flying through his mind, Karl reined in in time and pulled his thoughts back to reality again, "I have a little impression, but I'm not very familiar with it. I heard that there are many pirates here?"

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

"Oh, why are you so mean-spirited? Just say what you have to say, I hate beating around the bush!" Carl suddenly remembered that he was playing the role of a killer who only interested in women without blinking an eye, so A look of impatience instantly appeared on his face.

"Sir, don't worry, let me speak slowly."

Karl wanted to say to the other party, "Don't you understand people's words? I told you not to babble, but take it slowly", but after thinking about it, Karl felt that it was better.After all, I'm not in a hurry to play games right now, so it's just a way to relax when someone is chatting with me.

"Although our Country of Flowers is far away from our West Sea, it is also one of the countries that joined the World Government. That's why we dare to blatantly develop a violent group called the Navy but actually pirates." After a pause, Karl heard "The World The government joined the country" these keywords did not even lift their eyelids, and the middle-aged man continued to add, "Although the country has developed and prospered, it's just that the people above eat meat, and the thugs follow suit, while people like us Businessmen who are doing business according to their duties are getting more and more difficult, thanks to those violent groups, the surrounding countries are becoming more and more hostile to us."

The words that the middle-aged man told Carl are not high-level secrets. If you have the heart, the information is not difficult to find out.So he simply told Carl directly and made a favor.

Karl still remembers that this country of flowers will fall into successive years of wars in the future because of the JOKER in the dark world, Don Quixote Doflamingo, who wants to sell arms in the underground world.

But counting the time, Doflamingo is probably still being chased all over the world by Lieutenant General He, right?Presumably he also didn't care about getting involved in any arms business.

click, click, click...

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

The middle-aged man saw Karl's impatience, and he had long been dissatisfied with Karl's disrespectful attitude.But he also knows that it is always difficult to serve those who are capable, not to mention that he still needs others, so it is even more necessary to be patient.

"It's like this. I'm going to negotiate a business with a foreigner in a few days. That guy is my old partner, but now he's getting more and more aggressive. He even threatened me with tricks! I'm going to do it. After finishing this last business deal, I will break with him completely, so I think..."

"So you want to hire me to be your bodyguard?" After finally hearing useful information, Carl directly spoke the rest of the words for the middle-aged man.

"No, no, that's not what I meant." Fearing that Karl might misunderstand, the middle-aged man hurriedly explained, "I want to ask you to go to the town, sir. If I'm in danger then, I hope you can help me. "

"Isn't this still a bodyguard?"

"It's completely different from bodyguards..."

"Okay, okay, you don't need to explain, I have no other meaning. I just want to confirm my mission." Carl stopped the middle-aged man from talking and wanting, and turned the topic to the other side by the way, "But you Why don't you invite people from the Eight Treasures Navy or your experts from the Kingdom of Flowers?"

The middle-aged man felt a little frustrated, and couldn't help but smiled wryly, "To tell you the truth, those people in the Babao Navy are used to barbarism, so they don't care about the life and death of us businessmen. As for the country's masters, they have long been with the nobles. Went to the Great Route to see some sea trains."

"Sea train?"

"I don't know what it is. I heard that it can travel on the sea without a sail. It seems to be designed and built by a murloc named Tom. It was just completed this year." As if hearing some big joke, the middle-aged The man sneered, "Hehe, without sails or paddles, what does it use to navigate the sea? What nonsense!"

Carl was too lazy 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 famous now, and he is in the limelight Sheng!"

"Is that kid nicknamed 'Swordsman Buster'?" The middle-aged man shook his head and said angrily, "That guy is a lunatic. I asked him once. But he said he was a killer, and he was just a killer. Killer - he said that he can only kill, as long as he gives money, he can kill anyone, men, women, old people, children, as long as they are alive, he dares to kill even the navy! But if he wants to protect people, he said he Won't!"

"Hahahaha, this really looks like a lunatic." Carl couldn't help laughing out loud. The monk with a paralyzed face who looked extremely cold in the future didn't expect to have such a secondary side when he was young.

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

"Well, it's hard to say..." The middle-aged man didn't quite understand what Carl meant, and he was afraid that he would offend him by saying a wrong sentence.

"But it's okay, 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 against each other, I'm not sure. But in terms of killing speed, you're better!"

This is the answer that the middle-aged man finally gave after some thinking.

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

Facing Carl's gaze, the middle-aged man stood up slowly, and there was no panic on his face, "In our business, we never care whether the person who cooperates is a pirate or Navy. We can all be friends as long as you don't try to cheat."

"Very well, I think we can discuss the issue of remuneration next."
