Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

threaten.

The CP0s on the deck were silent.

How long?

How long has it been since they heard that word spoken to them?

CP0 is a part of the world government, and there are only a few people in this sea who can say the word "threat" to the world government.

Under the king Qiwuhai?

They are just a group of pirates who can cause chaos. The world government has fabricated a legal identity and status for them to keep them in their own right, so that group of people is not among them.

But at this moment, Crocodile is not a king under Shichibukai, but a representative of the Universal Alliance, threatening CP0 and even the world government behind them!

but……

CP0 has to really consider this "threat".

After a while, the leading CP0 nodded, and said to Crocodile in a deep voice, "I'm curious, why would a man like you be willing to be inferior to others?"

[Sand Crocodile] Crocodile's name is actually very famous in this sea.

Regardless of strength or ambition, they all belong to the first-tier level.

Such a man, even the world government is worried about whether he can be tied down with the mere title of "King Qiwuhai", so how can he be willing to join some kind of alliance of the four seas?

But Crocodile raised his eyebrows, "Does this have anything to do with my threat to you?"

"Of course there is."

CP0 explained: "Lian Rowan says you can play freely, so why not 'play' for yourself? You don't have to think about Cosmopolitan."

The implication is that Crocodile can use this opportunity to gain more benefits for himself, and he does not need to ask the world government for "a seat in Qiwuhai, the king's self-determined king" for the sake of the Universal Alliance.

But Crocodile's reaction was beyond CP0's expectations.

"Hehehehe, you still don't know Ryan Rowan."

Crocodile lit a cigarette ash, "That old bastard who is extremely conceited, since he said to let me play freely, it must be tantamount to acquiescing to me to gain some benefits for myself."

"So, the seat of 'The Seven Martial Seas under the King' is what I want for myself, and it has nothing to do with the Universal Alliance."

"Only in terms of the benefits generated by the final result, I agree with the Four Seas Alliance."

After listening to Crocodile's words, the leading CP0 understood that their plan to instigate the man in front of them had failed.

But it is said to be a rebellion. In fact, Crocodile has never been loyal to anyone. He has always been advancing according to his own ideas.

At this stage, he is on the same path as the Universal Alliance.

...

CP0 finally agreed to the conditions proposed by Crocodile and Ryan Rowan.

Recognize the legal status of the Kingdom of Aden; allow the Kingdom of Aden to re-establish a new national government; hand over the fruit of the operation to the Four Seas Alliance; based on the right to choose Qibuhai, a king of the Four Seas Alliance.

In contrast, what the Universal Alliance has to do is only one——

Do not take the initiative to disclose the plague incidents that occurred in the Kingdom of Aden.

...

All in all, it's a pretty unequal deal.

— for the world government.

For many years, the world government has not suffered such a big loss in negotiating deals!

The key?

It's not the Kingdom of Aden. There are countless such small countries in the world, and a mere one can't make any waves at all.

Nor is it the Qiwuhai under the king.

No matter who it is who becomes the Qiwuhai under the king, he still bears the word "the king" in the final analysis.

The legal status of Qiwuhai depends on the world government!

Therefore, although this bargaining chip has some weight, it is not considered a serious injury to the world government.

What really made the world government suffer is the superman devil fruit—the operation fruit!

As a "tool" of the world government, CP0 doesn't know what's really special about this devil fruit. They only know that this superhuman devil fruit is what the world government wants to get even if it costs five billion Berry.

Some people even heard the high-level discussion of the world government, "Fortunately, those stupid pirates who got the fruit of the operation didn't know the true value of this devil fruit."

But the World Government has also explained that if you have to choose between the two outcomes of "going to war with the Universal Alliance" and "losing the fruit of the operation", then you must choose the latter!

This is why the World Government will choose to let the Don Quixote family try to slow down the Universal Alliance.

Going to war with Ryan Rowan - is definitely not a wise choice, it will bring unpredictable shake to the stable rule of the world government at this stage!

But the deep secret about the fruit of the operation is too important, so the world government has also ordered CP0 to fight for something back when necessary.

"We have one more condition."

CP0 said: "We need to know the whereabouts of the 'fruit of surgery'. Even if you turn around and sell it to the revolutionary army, there is no problem, but we must know its whereabouts."

Hearing this, Crocodile thought about it first.

Well, Rowan didn't explain this matter, so he was probably left to play freely.

Having said that, the fruit of the operation was supposed to be eaten by the brat with platinum-lead disease, so there should be no other whereabouts to speak of.

Thinking of this, Crocodile nodded slightly, "Okay, I agree."

CP0 didn't quite believe it, "You promised, does it count?"

"certainly."

Crocodile took a puff on his cigar, "Or, I don't have to agree."

"Then, the transaction was successful."

CP0 nodded slowly, "The fruit of the operation will be sent to the Kingdom of Aden."

"Very well, it seems that the world government is sometimes very talkative!"

Crocodile clapped his hands with a smile, then crushed the cigar in his mouth to the mast beside him.

"There is no need to send it."

He shrugged his shoulders, and then turned into a sandstorm, jumped on the raft that had been prepared, and returned to the Kingdom of Aden.

...

Rowan came to a nearby cliff and sat cross-legged on the ground.

From here, you can overlook the entire Kingdom of Aden.

This originally peaceful small country has become devastated because of man-made "plague" and conflicts of interests.

Two figures walked slowly.

They are Dr. Kureha, and Shiruluk who has regained his self-awareness.

Looking at the scene in front of Luo Wen, Hiluluk couldn't help sighing, "Is this war?"

"No."

Luo Wen shook his head, "This is just an appetizer before the war, not even a mutual test."

"so……"

Luo Wen thought for a while and sighed: "Never say that you like war, that's terrible."

"But we can never be afraid of war, because that is a necessary part of the existence of the world."

Rowan turned his head, looked at Shiruluk, and repeated what he had said.

"There was never a savior."

"We are all 'people' living in this world."

"Right?"

Rowan sighed and stood up.

"The next thing is to negotiate back and forth with the world government, it's so troublesome..."

Hearing Rowan's rare complaints, Hiluluk couldn't help stepping forward and patted Rowan on the shoulder.

"Anyway, let's go home first!"

"OK."

Rowan smiled and nodded, "Go home."
