Chapter 49
Carl took the five children and a fishman to visit the downtown area and took them to eat some local delicacies.
In the afternoon, Cloro and Enel had returned.
They were holding a few envelopes. As soon as they approached, Carl knew. When he looked back and saw the envelope in Cloro's hand, he knew that the message had been received.
"Let's find a quiet place to talk about it."
Then he led a few people to a nearby restaurant, opened a private room and a group of people went in
"Let's order first and talk later."
He handed the menu to the two. After they ordered randomly, they began to talk about the reason why they had been there for so long.
It turned out that the North Sea was even more chaotic than the East Sea at that time. In addition, a while ago, a war broke out in the white town of Frevans, a prosperous area in the North Sea, and it was attacked by several surrounding countries. Frevans is equivalent to the economic lifeline of the North Sea. Now that the war has broken out, many people are displaced.
Cloe and Enel not only waited a long time to check the news, but the cost of checking the news was much more expensive than when they were in the East Sea.
Cloe took out an envelope from above, opened it and arranged it on the table in order.
Carl checked them one by one, and the name on it was Basil Hawkins.
【Basil Hawkins】
【Age: 15】
【Occupation: Student】
【Location: Balcho Island】
……
"What a coincidence that we are on this island. Wait, a student?"
Carl tapped the table with his index finger. This was a bit difficult. Carl could invite someone like Clo who had already entered society, but Clo was still a student. It was crazy to go to his house and ask him if he wanted to be a pirate.
Who would give up their good life and go to be a desperado with them? Besides, he must have a healthy family because he had studied. It was rude to disturb him.
‘Do we have to wait for a few years?'
Karl thought about it secretly in his mind, but he couldn't think of any situation that would make him willingly follow them on board.
"Chloe, do you have any idea to get him on board?"
At this time, we can only leave the brain-intensive tasks to Chloe. After all, he is not good at such brain-intensive tasks, and he is not as thick-skinned as Shanks and Buggy.
"Captain, I have no other options. I can think of nothing else except tying him up on board or threatening his parents. But we want crew members and partners, so this method won't work. It will definitely lead to conflicts over time."
"By the way, Clo, doesn't this kid like decorative arts and interior decoration? See if you can start from this aspect."
"I will send you for this mission."
Carl read the above content again and again, and saw the column of interests and hobbies. The only way to recruit now is to cater to their interests. As for whether they will get on board, it depends on Clo's eloquence.
Carl originally wanted to recruit them himself, but then he thought that he didn't have the bookish air like Clo.
Clo exudes the aura of a cultured person all over his body, unlike Carl and Enel who can scare away a group of people just by standing in front of you.
Moreover, Clo's own innate butler body is brought into play, and he only knows how to talk sweet words. I don't believe that he can't pull a fifteen-year-old child.
"Okay, let’s eat first, and then you can go over after dinner. If you refuse, come back quickly, we’ll be waiting for you on the boat. By the way, take Enelu with you too."
"I always feel a little uneasy."
As they were talking, the dishes they had just ordered were served one after another. After eating a little, they split up and left.
Carl took Kawamatsuhi and a few others back to the ship, while Clo took Enelu to find Basil Hawkins.
After returning to the ship, Carl began his daily training. Today, he was busy going out to play, and his daily training has not started yet.
"Could it be that those people from the World Government have found my location?"
"If it's just one or two people, it's fine, but if there are too many people, it's not good."
Most of the Crown Pirates are children. If a large group of enemies come towards them now, it will be bad.
""Ship, Captain, there is a fleet behind us."
Just then, Shura, the four-member Sky Island team in charge of keeping watch, stumbled over.
"Did you see clearly who the other person is? Are you sure they are coming towards us?"
"The captain seems to be from the Don Quixote family, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea under the World Government."
"Well, it's been exposed."
Carl knew that the Don Quixote family had a navy spy, Don Quixote Rocinante, the younger brother of Doflamingo of the Don Quixote family.
This was the good adopted son of Sengoku. How could he not inform the World Government of Carl's appearance here? Maybe there were important personnel from the Navy or the World Government hiding behind him.
His only question now was how this guy Doflamingo found him, and besides, he had never had any contact with Doflamingo, let alone any friendship. Now this action was obviously aimed at him.
"Maybe, it's going to be trouble."
The more Carl thought about it, the more he felt like a sword was hanging over his head.
Carl didn't think about hiding it, and directly spread his black wings and flew to the opposite ship.
Flying to the ship headed by the Don Quixote family, Carl stayed in mid-air, looking at a man wearing a down coat, a black shirt, a pair of sunglasses, and pointed shoes, sitting lazily on a wide chair on the deck, with the sun shining on his golden hair. Behind him stood the senior members of the Don Quixote family.
"Hello, Huangmao, what's going on?"
"If you have nothing to do, get out of here."
Carl felt impatient right away, mainly because this guy was too pretentious and exuded a smell that Carl hated.
Speaking of which, Doflamingo debuted much earlier than Carl. This guy started to build the Don Quixote family in the North Sea when he was just over ten years old.
He fought all the way, but after decades, he was defeated by a young man who had only practiced domineering for two years. How embarrassing. Carl had to doubt the water content of this guy's strength.
"咈咈咈咈"
"Nothing, I just want to come and see if your strength can support the bounty you have now."
Karl immediately understood that this guy was jealous of others who were stronger than him. That's right, although the bounty order had been issued after he joined the World Government, it was inevitable that he would feel a little itchy now that Karl came to his territory. After all, he was not the same as he would be after he took the throne of Dressrosa more than a decade later. Now he was still ambitious, young and hearty, with an extremely huge ambition in his heart.
