Pirate's Freedom

The beasts gathered together, and at first they were cautiously testing.

"In the past six months, many branches of the navy around the world have received reports from local businessmen about you [Parest]."

The opening lines of Warring States are furious.

"One thing is certain. They were all plundered by pirates in the nearby waters. What do you want to say about this matter?"

"..."

Herman looked at the majestic Sengoku quietly.

This is by no means the crux of the problem. In this era, there are very few chambers of commerce that have nothing to do with pirates.

Both of them know what the other person means. The problem is that saying some words out loud will ruin the atmosphere.

"What a coincidence, in this case, we are the same."

As if he thought the matter was difficult, Herman frowned slightly.

"[Parest]'s merchant ships were also robbed in those waters, and we haven't found out which pirates were responsible. I'm afraid we won't be able to provide any help in this regard."

"The enemy of the Navy is pirates, [Holman]——"

Warring States looked closely into those gray-blue eyes and said seriously.

"I hope you don't cross that line."

"Of course, but we also have a problem here. Three fleets in Parest have been detained when passing the G1 branch."

Herman asked with a sincere expression.

"I would like to confirm whether there are any prohibited goods in our fleet, or are there any illegal activities?"

"..."

Sengoku was silent.

Is sea floor stone considered a prohibited commodity?Is the transportation and trade of Hailou stone weapons by dozens of ships considered an illegal act?

However, this is not important. On matters that are mutually beneficial and do not violate principles, both parties have a tacit understanding.

The point of this matter is-

The navy's power has expanded too fast, resulting in prominent factional issues, and the differences between different [justices] have become increasingly prominent.

"...I will inform Sakaski."

After a moment of silence, Warring States spoke.

"Let your fleet go."

"Marshal Warring States, I have reason to suspect that General Akainu's recent behavior was authorized by you. Regarding this matter-"

Hermann smiled and turned against the general.

"Don't you have any explanation?"

"What do you want to say?"

Sengoku puts it bluntly.

"Marshal Warring States, regarding the problem of the navy's defense emptiness at a specific period, I have a small suggestion here."

The problem of insufficient naval combat power in the four seas has been around for a long time. The root cause is not insufficient training, but that their opponents are too weak.

For navies of the same strength, if we compare our headquarters with the weakest navy, Donghai, the gap in military rank is generally more than three ranks.

The other Southwest and Northern Seas, although to a slightly weaker extent, also have this problem.

So much so that the prefix [Headquarters], which should have no effect, has some kind of default actual effect.

In this case, trying to rely on the strength of the Four Seas Branch to protect the [Sky Gold] transport ship is just creating pieces of fat.

And relatively speaking——

At this time of year, pirates would take advantage of the pirates' efforts to divert forces from the Grand Line, resulting in some robberies.

Even though the power of the navy is now different from what it used to be, this problem has not been solved.

There will even be some pirates who, because they are usually suppressed too hard by the navy, will focus on plundering in retaliation during this period.

According to Herman——

This phenomenon cannot completely disappear until the navy's power can completely overwhelm the pirates and overflow to a certain extent.

"If the Navy is willing to hand over the exchange business of [Sky Gold] to us, then naturally it will no longer have to worry about the problem of empty defense."

Herman stopped his joking expression and said seriously.

“I promise with [Parist’s] credibility that all losses and risks will be borne by us, and no handling fees will be charged for 100 years.”

With a huge amount of funds measured in trillions, today [Parist] not only has the strength, but even the credibility to guarantee this.

Seeing the whole thing at a glance, [Parest] really has the confidence to stand here.

but……

"Absolutely impossible!"

Warring States refused without hesitation.

"This issue is outside the scope of our discussion."

"..."

Herman smiled and said nonchalantly.

"It doesn't matter, Marshal Warring States, just hold it in your hand as a bargaining chip. We are always welcome to discuss this."

"Then, next—"

He turned his head and looked at the other person present——

The man in a dark green cloak never participated in the conversation between the two.

"..."

The next thing that needs to be solved urgently is the other party’s problem.

There seems to be no direct conflict between the navy and the revolutionary army.

Compared to [Parest], the Navy's [Justice] and the Revolutionary Army's [Liberation] are obviously more in tune.

But in fact, the contradiction between the two is more profound and acute.

The Navy can of course acquiesce to the revolutionary army's subversion of state power around the world and turn a blind eye for the time being.

However, if this continues, as the revolutionary army gradually extends its hands to the countries that join the World Government, a full-scale conflict between the two will be just around the corner.

No matter how lofty the ideals are and how firm the beliefs are, a very real problem lies before both parties——

All military expenditures for the navy come from those countries that are members of the world government ruled by royal families.

Those countries overthrown by the revolutionary army have no reason and will not pay [Heavenly Gold].

"dragon."

Looking at the dragon on the left and the Warring States on the right, Herman decided to say something unnecessary.

"You must also know exactly how useful a simple reduction of [Heavenly Gold] will be to the people."

In The Silence of Monkey D. Dragon.

"After all, over the past few years-"

After turning his wrist lightly and making a beautiful wand, Herman laughed.

"Long, your career is developing in full swing——"

……

"Adhering to his extremely dangerous ideas, more than a dozen countries have been destroyed so far!!"

At the ongoing world conference, the previous topic has ended and a new topic has been discussed.

"Most of the royal families of those countries were imprisoned and executed, and the best outcome was to be exiled overseas."

Xienda Lucas, the king of the Kingdom of Illusia, said seriously.

"This man's existence itself is our biggest crisis!!"

"[Revolutionary Long]..."

This name seemed to possess some kind of magic power. After hearing this name, all the kings and the congregation fell silent.

After half an hour.

"That's what I said, but do you have any good ideas?"

Queen Mengluolong frowned slightly.

"This man, and the forces under his command, are growing at a speed that is beyond the norm."

"how to solve this problem……"

"I think on this issue,"

King John Burger suddenly said in a deep voice.

"We have to find a way to unite more deeply."

"..."

Gu</span>No one spoke for a while. Most of the rulers were carefully considering the pros and cons of this influential proposal.

"..."

Sitting on the largest high-backed chair, Neptune, who had been listening so far, said nothing.

"I heard--"

Suddenly someone spoke.

"Not long ago, a portrait of a king who was here set a new auction record for paintings at the grand auction house in Chambord."

A king in the northwest corner puffed out his chest slightly and nodded reservedly to the surroundings.

"and also--"

He has medium-length black curly hair spread over his shoulders, a small brush-like mustache on his chin, and wears a desert national costume with white background and black stripes.

"Because of the quarrel at the last world conference, the two countries are still at war, right?"

The two kings, sitting at the east and west ends of the round table, first looked at each other hatefully after hearing this, and then turned their heads in mock disdain.

"Cobra, what you said has nothing to do with the current topic. Don't affect the order of the meeting."

Someone said impatiently.

"Revolutionary Long, what he did cannot be ignored, but the reasons..."

In the first half of the Great Line, the King of Alabasta, Neferutali Kobra, pressed his hands on the round table and exerted slight force.

"There has just been a famine in the country, but you have levied additional taxes and explained to the people...the amount of gold in the sky has increased..."

He turned his head to the left and stared sharply at a king with a sharp chin and long slanted bangs.

"Excuse me, King Samosa, is this true?"

"Cobra! Are you interfering in our country's internal affairs?"

King Samosa questioned, blowing his bangs in annoyance.

"I didn't mean that. Actually, what I wanted to say was-"

Cobra looked away and said.

"Perhaps, the world government has also recognized the threat of the revolutionary army, and the decrease in the amount of gold in the sky is a change made because of this."

"Everyone here, the tax has not been reduced much, I think-"

He slowly stood up from his seat, looked around at the kings with a serious expression, and said seriously.

"If efforts are not made in this area, the problem of the revolutionary army will be out of the question."

"You are so arrogant! Kobra!"

Bill VI frowned slightly.

"There are different ways of running a country and you are in no position to accuse us."

“No matter how bad order is, it is better than no order at all.”

A noble and elegant voice sounded, and besides Queen Mengluolong, another female ruler present suddenly spoke.

"Just like what King Samosa did."

Queen Ba Dodshina said with a smile, her long, smooth light purple hair covered under a headscarf and wearing dark purple lip gloss.

“Raising enough funds first and giving priority to ensuring food supply for a few people is also a correct way to respond.”

"Yes, exactly!"

King Samosa nodded slightly.

"The foundation of a country is its people!"

Kobra frowned and questioned.

"If you give up your own citizens so easily, why does the country exist?!"

"Don't get too excited, Kobra."

A gentle voice interjected calmly.

"Even if you leave it alone, it will naturally increase. That's what humans are like."

"This……!"

Clenching his fists, Kobra gritted his teeth.

"Is this what the king of a country should say?!"

Faced with his glare.

"..."

Dee IV, who has a beard like clock hands and wears square-framed glasses and blue eyes, said calmly without changing his expression.

"Only those who are brought under rule are citizens, so a stable order is the foundation of the country."

"You are right. As a ruler, having sufficient authority is the most important thing. Admitting a mistake itself is the biggest mistake."

King Yumi Bing agreed with him.

"A king without authority is as naked as a king."

"The trust and love of the people are my clothes!"

Kobra objected loudly.

“Authority is nothing more than an ornament on clothes!”

"Big mistake!"

A bald man wearing small round sunglasses and a long beard stood up from his desk.

"This is ridiculous! Authority does not exist! Laws and regulations do not work! Etiquette is the foundation of governing a country!"

"Ramen King...!"

A world conference that brings together rulers from all over the world——

Caught up in meaningless accusations and quarrels.

……

"Furfurfurfurfurfur..."

Someone asserted in the midst of deep laughter.

“The tide of the times has changed!!”

A corner of the Grand Line.

The rooftop pool is as wide as a lake.

With her pink feather cloak, naked strong chest, and silver-red water-patterned beach shorts, she looks as if she is on vacation anytime, anywhere.

Surrounded by a group of beauties wearing cool clothes.

After many years, Doflamingo is still as showy as a flamingo.

"The power of so-called [justice] is frighteningly increasing day by day, and it is difficult for the four emperors trapped in the new world to do anything."

He straightened up in the beach chair. On the small round table in front of him, a phone bug was grinning silently.

"Is it our strength? Sebastian has never disappointed. In the end, it depends on what we can come up with."

"Digesting the remains of the World Government, new monsters are being bred..."

"The revolutionary army is still going step by step, but the navy is ready to move? Fufufufu~! The Warring States Period must also be a headache!"

"As expected of you! Fufufufu~! I have no idea what you are thinking..."

"Anyway...you mean...furfufufufu...everyone can't do it to this extent..."

"Okay, let's stop chatting here. My secretary wants to see me for something. Remember to share interesting things with me. Spandyne...furfurfurfur..."

After hanging up the phone, he looked up with a smile.

"What's the matter? Monet."

"I'm sorry, young master, to bother you—"

The woman with light green wavy hair tied up in a bun, thick-bottomed milk bottle glasses that almost covered half of her face, tall and fiery figure, and dressed in white business attire, approached gently.

"The latest information on the new world has been sent."

Turning a blind eye to the playful beauties in swimsuits, she moved a video phone and placed it in front of Doflamingo.

The movements of pirates with a bounty of over [-] million, the price fluctuations of weapons, food and other supplies, the recent death list of important figures...

"Really? Have you noticed it...furfufufufu..."

He looked at the intelligence image projected on the screen and soon discovered some secrets hidden beneath the surface.

"Now that things have happened...do you still want to fight to the death..."

Doflamingo rested his chin on his hands, his careless expression a bit playful.

"[Hundred Beasts]——Kaido."
