Chapter 239: The Government’s Demands Fluctuate Rapidly in the Heart
Looking at the figure across from him, he was wearing gorgeous robes, looking like a perfect nobleman with no faults to be found.
The smile on his face made him feel terrible.
Maintaining a slight sense of oppression, Hades's eyes quietly stared at the beautiful scenery outside the French windows on the side, seemingly admiring it.
In fact, he was waiting for the government messenger to speak first.
"Meet His Highness Hades."
The envoy bowed respectfully.
Then he took out a document and handed it to Hades.
There was no food or wine prepared in front of the table, and he knew that he was not here to enjoy it.
Hades turned his head, opened the document and took a look.
As expected, the World Government tried to get both parties to put aside their past grudges and re-establish contact, and was willing to pay the price of five Devil Fruits as compensation.
Next, there is the matter of the arms trade.
It is hoped to prevent the Kingdom of Chronos from suppressing the World Government's arms trade through commercial competition.
For this, he is willing to pay thirty Devil Fruits, and the world government will provide conveniences to the Kingdom of Chronos in some aspects.
In addition, I hope to join in the management of Fish-Man Island.
Finally, something about Wano was vaguely mentioned, which was the trade between the Pluto Pirates and Wano. It seems that the World Government hopes to get involved.
It seems that the World Government has investigated in advance and knows that the Kingdom of Chronos has been secretly collecting Devil Fruits.
So I specially took out thirty-five devil fruits.
The Battle of the Valley of the Gods caused the World Government to lose a large amount of assets, but these assets all belonged to the world's nobility.
More of the world government's wealth is still in the holy land of Marie Joa, in the world government's treasure house.
Thirty-five Devil Fruits may seem like a lot, but they are actually nothing to the World Government.
However, it was impossible for Hades to agree.
Thinking this way, Hades took the pen and crossed out the third suggestion for joint management of Fish-Man Island directly on it.
It was like a knife piercing the heart of this government messenger. His whole heart immediately rose to his throat, as if he wanted to say something, but when he reached his mouth, nothing came out.
What qualifications does the World Government have to jointly manage Fish-Man Island with the Pluto Pirates?
Why would the Pluto Pirates give away this part of their profits?
From these tolls, you must know that the Pluto Pirates can benefit from billions of beli every year.
In the future, as more people visit Fish-Man Island, this income will increase.
You know, the Pluto Pirates protected Fish-Man Island and brought peace to Fish-Man Island. What did the World Government pay?
As for the possibility that the World Government cannot obtain Fish-Man Island and lead other forces to threaten the Pluto Pirates' rule on Fish-Man Island, it can only be said to be very small.
The tolls collected by the Pluto Pirates on Fishman Island are not high, which will not make the king's merchants and pirates dissatisfied, especially when compared with Red Port.
Even if you are dissatisfied, you have to consider the strength of the Pluto Pirates. Hades only needs to send the Titans to solve all the troubles.
Those pirate groups who have the ability to fight against the Titans will not offend easily for the sake of Hades.
As for the World Government, if it wants to take action, it will inevitably face a joint attack by many top pirate groups, which will give the already divided Rocks remnant party the possibility of regaining the power of Rocks.
This is what the world government does not want to see.
Moreover, in addition to the tolls from Fish-Man Island and the protection fees that Fish-Man Island pays every year, the Pluto Pirates trade with Fish-Man Island.
The Pluto Pirates also secretly established many industries on Fish-Man Island, including deep-sea casinos, deep-sea paradise, and some flesh-and-blood businesses.
The "cafe" established by the future mermaid fortune teller Mrs. Charlie on Fishman Island actually provides skin and flesh business to tens of thousands of pirates every month. These mermaid girls actually risk being trafficked into slaves by pirates. High stakes at work.
This kind of work is actually the norm on Fish-Man Island.
Hades already knew the country of Fish-Man Island very well.
A country has a large population and a small land, and the vast majority of people are miserable and poor.
The royal family is aloof and does not understand the sufferings of the people. Even if they have the intention, they are incompetent.
These industries can bring huge profits to the Pluto Pirates every year. In order not to follow this path, the Pluto Pirates can also guide more mermaids to the Kingdom of Kronos.
Once the world government intervenes, these interests will be affected.
Moreover, even if the Pluto Pirates agree, many pirates in the New World will not agree.
Even a well-organized big pirate can see that Fish-Man Island is the source of new blood coming to the new world and cannot be controlled by the world government.
Next comes the reconciliation of Article 1.
Hades wrote ten devil fruits on the back, which made the government messenger breathe a sigh of relief.
The mere ten Devil Fruits showed that the Kingdom of Kronos had no intention of becoming completely hostile to the World Government. In this case, there was room for negotiation on the other two.
Being hostile to the World Government is very detrimental to a kingdom like the Kingdom of Kronos that is good at hiding behind the scenes.
The reconciliation between the two parties is also very beneficial to the Kingdom of Kronos and avoids continued targeting by the World Government.
This is just a superficial reconciliation and does not affect the Kingdom of Kronos' ability to use other methods to attack the World Government without taking action personally.
Being able to get ten Devil Fruits for free was undoubtedly earned by the Kingdom of Chronos.
Of course, there must be an agreement with the World Government later.
If the World Government gets nothing but a superficial reconciliation and gives away ten Devil Fruits for free, they will definitely not be willing to do so.
Jump from the first to the fourth.
Let the World Government join trade with Wano.
It seems that the World Government is only aware of the connection between the Pluto Pirates and Wano Country, and does not know the inside story or who they are dealing with.
Kuo Tanmuchan and Kuotan Chanmaru are quite famous within the Rocks Pirates, but on the sea, they are just unknown people, and have not been noticed by the Navy and the World Government. This can be seen from the fact that they do not have any bounties.
Hades did not receive many direct benefits from the country of Wano, and paid at least tens of billions of beli to the Heitan clan every year.
Of course, Hades is not at a loss either. All he does is weaken the power of Wano as much as possible.
This is a kingdom with strong military potential. Years of seclusion has resulted in Wano's power not being as powerful as it was at its peak. However, when placed on the sea, it is still a terrifying force.
Once the country of Wano is founded, under the pressure of the sea, the samurai and swordsmen of Wano will become stronger, becoming the world's top power in terms of force in one fell swoop.
Wano Country has such potential, so Hades is reducing the population of Wano Country while supporting enemies like the Black Carbon Clan.
Preventing the founding of Wano is also what Hades wants to see, so Kozuki Oden needs to be dealt with.
This young monster also has the terrifying potential to become the world's top combat power.
Therefore, no matter how much Hades supports the Black Carbon family, he is not optimistic about the Black Carbon family.
In this world where strength is king, top combat power determines everything.
The Heitan clan obviously does not have such power, and no matter how large their troops are, it will be useless.
In the future, the Black Tan clan was obviously successful and successfully usurped the position of general of Wano Country.
But now, many things may change. Who can guarantee whether Kaido will come to Wano Country again?
With Hades's support, the two Heitan siblings didn't know Kaido.
Introducing a world government is obviously a good idea, and there is a signpost stone in Wano.
Thinking like this, Hades' pen fell on the fourth article, and the government messenger's heart began to beat violently with Hades' pen.
Only when Hades wrote the word "to be determined" did he calm down. This meant that the Kingdom of Kronos had not refused and there was still room for negotiation in the future.
The second item that follows is the most critical. The arms trade is the bottom line that Wulaoxing requires him to handle.
Before he could take a breath, he became nervous again, and his mood kept fluctuating like a roller coaster ride.
