Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"Besides, the conditions he proposed were not excessive."

Hearing this, another person in the room spoke up.

"That's right, Cobra's requests can be granted."

The man was wearing a crimson suit, had blond hair and beard, and had a noticeable scar on his chest.

He looks younger than the previous two.

At this time, he looked at the few people and continued:

"What needs to be resolved most now is the problem of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Navy."

"Although the lives of those pirates are not important, the positions of Shichibukai cannot be left vacant."

At this point, the blond old man snorted coldly:

“This sea needs balance.”

To the World Government, it doesn't matter how many pirates there are on this ocean.

In other words, the existence of pirates is a good thing for the World Government.

When the lives of those people on the sea are threatened, they will naturally choose to seek refuge from the world government.

Once this choice is made, the world government will not only be able to improve its own rule, but also collect high heavenly gold.

But at the same time, the World Government does not want to see pirate forces become too powerful.

Once criminals expand to a certain size, their targets are no longer civilians.

But the ruling class at the top of the world.

This is something the world government does not want to see at all.

So they would rather give up the new world.

After all, compared to the entire ocean.

The second half of the Grand Line is really nothing.

Use such a harsh environment to let those powerful pirates fight to the death.

It's really a great deal.

The birth of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is the third layer of insurance added by the World Government.

Legal pirate is really a very ironic name.

But for the world government, these guys are really the most useful tools.

On the one hand, they can be urgently summoned for help when the Four Emperors make unusual moves or when there are some special wars.

This will also make those guys in the New World restrain themselves.

On the other hand, these guys can also help the world government and do some things that are not acceptable.

All the world government needs to pay is a legal right to plunder on paper.

Such a useful thing, the Five Elder Stars will naturally not let its function disappear.

After all, they only have one goal, which is to keep the ocean balanced.

Only balance can consolidate the rule of the Celestial Dragons.

Of course, many people died during this period because of "balance".

The Five Elders didn't care at all.

"There are also naval issues to be resolved."

The only old man in the room who was not wearing a suit spoke.

"The Shichibukai's plan to steal the country was actually stopped by another group of pirates."

The old man was wearing a white kimono, had a bald head and wore glasses.

At this moment, he couldn't help but strike the ground with the sword in his hand:

"And in all this, the role of the navy is just to receive the defeated pirates!"

"It's such a shame!"

The role of the navy in this matter was too weak.

This gave rise to criticism among the member states.

With the outbreak of the Alabasta incident, a number of member states called the government.

Not only did they protest against the Seven Warlords system, but they also expressed serious dissatisfaction with the navy.

They even took this opportunity to demand a reduction in the amount of Tianshangjin collected.

After all, the reason why the World Government collects Sky Gold is to [provide funds for the navy to fight pirates].

Now it seems that it shouldn't cost much to just send a ship to pick up a pirate.

So in the final analysis, the Five Bald Elders were not angry at all because the navy did not uphold justice.

All they care about is the balance of the ocean and the tribute of gold from the allied nations.

"It's already come to this, and there's no point in saying any more."

After the bald five elders got angry, the last silent old man in the room spoke up:

"Find Crocodile's successor as soon as possible. As for the navy, just give it a try."

"I believe that guy Zhan Guo knows what to do."

The old man was wearing a dark green suit and had a mustache. He was also bald and had a birthmark on his forehead.

With just a few sentences, the major event that shook the world was put to rest.

At this moment, the golden-haired Five Elders said in a deep voice:

"Where's that rookie pirate group?"

He looked at the information about the Straw Hat Pirates that had already been collected by the CP department.

"They really brought shame to the Navy this time."

The bald Five Elders stared at Luffy's information and said angrily:

"Monkey D. Luffy, is he the family of that Garp guy again?"

The bearded Five Elders took over the conversation:

"It should be his grandson."

"That's fine too. Notify the navy and let Garp go there on his own."

"He's just a rookie pirate. Even if he defeats Crocodile, the impact on the ocean will be insignificant."

The curly-haired Five Elders took out Bai Ye's photo and said:

"He's not a rookie pirate. This guy almost killed the admiral candidate of the navy."

"If he is allowed to grow up, I'm afraid..."

The five elders with mustaches interrupted the argument again:

"According to the intelligence, he himself is suspected to be dead, so he probably used some method to stimulate his potential."

"As for growing up, we'll have to wait until they can reach the Sabaody Archipelago."

"After this, I'm afraid the Navy will increase the bounty on all of them."

He paused and spoke again:

"Besides, we don't have the extra energy to take care of these guys right now, according to the CP department."

"It seems that Red Hair is going to make contact with White Beard."

Having said this, the expressions of the other people also changed.

The encounter between the two Four Emperors, no matter what the reason, could have a huge impact on the entire ocean.

In this matter, the small Straw Hat Pirates are naturally insignificant.

The information of Bai Ye and Luffy was also casually thrown aside by the Five Elders.

-

A few days later.

Marinford, Admiral's Office -

Marshal Zhan Guo looked at the bounty order in front of him and fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a long time, he finally looked up.

He looked at Brian standing opposite him and said:

"Just send it out according to these bounties."

"Yes!"

After Brian saluted, he took the bounty order and left Zhan Guo's office.

Walking on the road, Brian couldn't help but think of Bai Ye's figure.

The man who once saved his town, now saved a country again.

He couldn't help muttering to himself:

"What exactly do you want to do, Mr. Bai Ye?"

-

"Of course I'm preparing a gift for you, Weiwei."

In the Alabasta Palace, Bai Ye looked at Vivi, who was covering her mouth with a surprised expression, and said with a smile.

Weiwei looked at Bai Ye's right palm with tears in her eyes.

Above, is a pair of delicate earrings.

At this time, Bai Ye spoke again:

"I remember your weapons are two rings, so I prepared this for you."

"You can wear it as jewelry at ordinary times, and use it as a weapon when you encounter a battle."

"Not only are these earrings as sharp as a sharp knife, I have also engraved fire elements on them."

"Definitely a stay-at-home trip, killing people... er..."

Bai Ye was suddenly stunned because Weiwei in front of him actually hugged him.

"Thank you, Bai Ye,"

Weiwei spoke softly in Bai Ye's arms:

"Thank you for treating me as a partner."
