After half a day, he felt more and more guilty the longer he waited. He had planned to wait for the head of the South China Sea Federation to come over and scold him. He would not stop until he paid 3000 million Baileys and made a formal apology to appease his injured heart.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't apologize or pay 3000 million baileys. It's also okay if he doesn't pay 1000 million baileys. Finally, as long as we let him go and talk things over, this matter will be over.
Finally, the door was opened from the outside.
"Ambassador Beckeron, right? Come out. Mr. Tyzog wants to see you now."
After leaving the small room, Bakeron relaxed a little. These barbarians were really too much. Wait until you take the bait, and then I'll show you how I'm going to deal with you.
Arriving at the conference room, before Bakeron could get angry, a very contemptuous voice came from the other side.
"You are the representative of the 20 countries in the South China Sea? Baker, right? My name is Taizog. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. I am very busy."
Taizog was sitting behind the table, writing something, and he spoke to him without even raising his head.
This made Bakerland so angry that his whole body was shaking. How dare you do this? Isn't it just winning a war? Do you know that we are a member of the World Alliance?
"Is this how the South China Sea Federation treats the ambassadors of member countries? Locking them up in a small dark room and using very impolite diplomatic etiquette, you..."
"Okay, let's be clear. You are the defeated party. Don't act righteous and start an unjust war of aggression. Do you still want to speak arrogantly after being defeated?"
A surge of momentum came over him, causing Baker to retreat back repeatedly, sweating profusely.
We cannot ignore Taizog's strength just because he always appears as a civilian. As one of the top few in the revolutionary army's new recruit training camp, and having eaten the Gold-Gold Fruit, he is now at least a fighter with a bounty of 5000 million. It is very easy to suppress an ordinary noble with momentum.
Including the early house arrest and the reception attitude, he has shown his tough attitude. I hope this Baker Lang will be more sensible, so that the subsequent work can be carried out more easily.
"Hu~Hu~, good, good. It seems that you, the South Sea Federation, are not considering peaceful coexistence with us. Our sincerity was to recommend you to join the World Government as a member country, but from your attitude, it can be seen that you have no respect for the World Government at all. In this case, goodbye!"
After saying that, Baker turned and walked away. But he walked slower and slower, and when he was almost at the door, he simply stopped where he was.
He kept cursing in his heart. What a mistake. He didn't respond to such an obvious hint. Why did the South China Sea Federation send such a person to do diplomatic work?
We are already at the door, you just say something polite and I will turn around, okay? This is so embarrassing. However, if you are shameless, there are many ways to find a way out for yourself.
Baker turned around as if he had heard something.
"What? You don't even know what recommendation to join the world's member countries is. Then let me explain it to you in detail. Sigh, young people nowadays."
Taizog looked coldly at the greasy noble in front of him who had directed and acted out his own return. He also admired his ability to create something out of nothing.
"Okay, we are not interested in the affairs of the world's allied countries. Now let's talk about the compensation after the defeat."
How could you not play by the rules? You should have begged to join us! Baker was very confused and helpless.
"What, what compensation?"
"You have attacked our South China Sea Federation without reason, which has had a very bad impact on the peace and stability of the South China Sea. In this war, we paid a terrible price to repel the attack of 20 countries. The economic losses caused are immeasurable and the casualties are horrible. Do you want compensation?"
Fuck, are you from the top aristocrats? How can you open your eyes and tell lies better than World Economic News has published it. You have wiped out the navies of 20 countries, and you basically have no casualties. Why do you change your words now?This is how to do?It's better to find out what the South China Sea Federation wants first, life is hard.
"Then how will you compensate me?"
"It's very simple. Take a look at the things on this pile of papers. They are all what I just thought of."
I don't believe you, you can just come up with a stack of paper? Let's see first, if it's too much...
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"
After reading it, Bakeron let out a death roar and his saliva almost splashed on Tyzog. Fortunately, he had foresight and leaned back.
"Cede the islands, what are you thinking! Force the opening of a trading port, my God, what a crazy idea! War reparations of 100 billion Baileys! You might as well just kill me!"
Is this a show-off? Even the 20 countries in the South China Sea want to slowly exploit you, but you want to rob them openly? This is impossible without any negotiation. This is not bleeding, this is stabbing the heart with a knife.
"Don't get excited. Since we are here to negotiate, everything can be discussed. We are not in a hurry."
Not in a hurry? You are the ones who are not in a hurry. You are shameless, very shameless! But...
"The soldiers who were captured by you can be sent back under what conditions."
"You can choose any one from the pile of papers just now."
My blood pressure suddenly rose!
"This is not a negotiation attitude at all!"
"Hmph, let me be frank. Our fleet is already preparing to depart. It would be terrible if we accidentally hurt some countries while patrolling the sea in pursuit of some pirates~"
"You are a threat!"
"It's not a threat, but accidents always happen. Besides, Sir Baker, I remember you are from Itis, right? There are some things we can discuss without mentioning the so-called 20-nation alliance, right? The benefits you have fought for here are shared equally among 20 countries~"
Baker felt as if he was falling into an ice cellar. Looking at the smile of the man in front of him, it was simply the smile of the devil.
Is it really useful to split the 20-nation alliance so blatantly? For people with a certain level of morality, it makes no sense. But for the crowned, it seems to make some sense.
Chapter 220 Soldiers Targeting Zefa
"Cede territory? Pay compensation? Trade? Is the South Sea Federation crazy? Didn't you tell them about recommending them to join the World Government?"
The 20 countries in the South China Sea were greatly shocked when they received the information sent back by Baker.
The times are developing too fast. I no longer know what these stubborn country folks are thinking. What can I do?
Which country's islands are ceded, how much compensation is paid, or what kind of commercial concessions are made are not the most important things. The most important thing is to get the captured troops back, and this situation can still be made clear.
As a last resort, we held another meeting. The situation is serious now, should we make some concessions on some issues?
"Beckram said that the enemy is biting very hard, and they are ready to send troops to clear out the pirates in the South China Sea at any time. There may be accidental casualties."
Everyone was furious, and their reaction was exactly the same as that of the diplomats they sent. The anger was more of a cover-up for fear. They had seen the combat effectiveness of the South China Sea Federation. It could be said that all the countries present could not withstand such a military attack.
Moreover, the other party is acting as if they don't care about the member states of the World Government. There must be a reason for this. We cannot lose our composure at this time.
Finally, they came up with several follow-up plans. One was to ask for help from Admiral Zefa who was still in the South China Sea. Although the other party didn't care and hated them, the mission of protecting civilians still had to be done.
There were some minor misunderstandings during the investigation of the South China Sea branch. I hope the Navy Headquarters can understand.
Another option is to contact Mary Joa and have someone smooth things over to see if the South Sea Federation and the World Government have reached some secret cooperation that makes them so fearless. But I haven't forgotten Lord Spandam who was stationed on Batlila Island before.
Finally, contact Bakerland and ask him to communicate with the other side's diplomats and be more flexible. You can give some "small gifts" to individuals.
However, when Bakeron submitted his communication application again, he could no longer find Taizog.
Noah taught me personally that after you have made your stance, you can leave the other party alone for a while. This is a negotiation skill.
In the Grand Line Paradise stage, the Voyager appeared on the sea again. Since Noah got the Door-to-Door Fruit, he spent much less time on the ship.
As a writer, he has been creating in the South China Sea in recent years. He had already disclosed his whereabouts to the outside world during the last South China Sea tour. Later, the place where he sent works to Morgans was also the South China Sea. This character is still very stable.
The new work is still the same as before, leaving the plot and character settings to Robin. From time to time, he will reply to fans through newspapers, creating a sunny and friendly image.
After using the Adam alias this time, it would be best to go there in your own boat to maintain the existing impression. Originally, Robin wanted to go out with him. She had been in the South China Sea for several years and had never been out. Unfortunately, she had to teach the last few very important classes to students on the Resurrection Island and could not get away.
The first batch of boot camps are already preparing for graduation. Theoretical learning is coming to an end, and they have learned everything they should learn. If their thoughts slip, there is nothing we can do. We just hope that they can stick to their beliefs in their future work.
The improvement in combat effectiveness is almost the same. Let’s put it this way, if one can continue to improve combat effectiveness after long-term training, it depends more on talent.
There is no shortage of combat experience and vision. There are not many people who are beaten by many top sea fighters on a daily basis, who have seen Fujitora's meteorite and Noah's sword energy, and are still unscathed.
And finally participated in a real war. This kind of experience is second only to the navy's boot camp. Even in Zefa's training camp, not every time can produce top talents.
At this point, they had nothing to improve in the training camp. Xiao Feng, Bonnie, and Taizog, who performed relatively well, had already graduated and started working. The other trainees also had to graduate as soon as possible, and the internal positions were vacant, waiting for fresh blood to fill them.
Given the shortage of manpower, we can graduate in less than three years. This is the only way, time is running out. The recruitment of the second batch of students has also officially started, and Noah will not participate in it this time.
Basically, all the suitable candidates have been recruited in advance, and most of the remaining talents are in the navy, such as Zefa...
If you go to poach people, it's not a good idea. It's not long since we had a fight.
But after we finish the matter of the sea train, it is not impossible to consider it. After all, compared to the navy, the Revolutionary Army better represents justice. I hope Mr. Zefa can understand.
I remember that Sengoku’s adopted son Rosinante is also in Zefa’s training camp this time, which should be a good breakthrough point.
The last time he treated Luo on Magnetic Drum Island, they had a great conversation, and he even called Noah his teacher. It wouldn't be too much to arrange a chance reunion and talk about life during this period and their understanding of some knowledge.
After considering it for a long time, I didn't make up my mind. It didn't feel good to bully a veteran.
Anyway, Noah brought Taizog and Kuina with him on this trip to the Seven Waters City.
Taizog is the temporary diplomat of the South Sea Federation. There is no more suitable candidate in the Revolutionary Army yet, so he can only take over for a period of time. Kuina is a direct kendo disciple, so she needs to go out more often to see the scenery of the sea.
The three of them were traveling on the Grand Line on the Voyager, and all the pirates they encountered on the way were dealt with by Taizog and Kuina.
With Tyzog's strength in the Paradise stage, he can be considered a relatively powerful character. Ordinary pirate captains are really no match for him. It just so happens that he is still relatively lacking in combat experience at this stage, so he will make up for it this time.
Ordinary ship mates and pirates are left to Kuina to practice with. When it comes to kendo, the gap becomes bigger as time goes by. The progress of slowly honing your skills on your own is too slow. A life-and-death battle can be said to be a shortcut.
If a person can lay a good foundation from a young age, and constantly experience life-and-death battles from the beginning of his career, and can survive, the probability of becoming a master is very high. It can even be said to be 100%, because if he fails once, he will die.
There were many stops and fights along the way, and it was quite lively. There were just enough pirates on the Grand Line.
Noah bought a newspaper and sat on the bow to read it, trying to find out why it was so lively. This recent paradise was not so paradise. It had been raided many times before for various reasons.
For example, after the two attacks on Marijoa, the World Government would clean up the ocean on a large scale to show its authority. Noah directly or indirectly brought many painful blows to the pirates.
It turns out that during the time when Oda did not write much about it, there was also a turmoil going on in the Paradise Stage. The reason for the turmoil is very simple.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea Plan!
Chapter 221: Rebellion of the Seven Warlords of the Sea
Even if Noah had not come out to start a wave of revolution in this world, other things would have happened on the sea, and there would have been no so-called stability here.
The World Government selects seven great pirates from among the pirates to restrain each other from the Grand Line, and at the same time to compete with the emperor of the New World. This causes internal friction among the pirates and stabilizes the chaotic sea. This makes the world go from being a mess to an orderly mess.
When the World Government spread the news across the sea, countless pirates fought each other for the title. The temptation of being able to plunder legally was enormous.
Many pirates go out to sea not for the ideal of being the freest people on the sea, but for treasures, women, and status. This is the best pirate welfare in the Grand Line Paradise stage.
The group of masters in the new world look down on them. Their ambitions are to become the emperor. They can plunder and rule in the same way, but they don’t need the approval of the world government to be the emperor.
The pirates in the paradise stage would not use this kind of thinking, everyone is very pragmatic. Not every pirate ship can have admiral-level combat power, they are also afraid of being surrounded by the Navy Headquarters.
Only Noah knows that, with his efforts, the original Shichibukai have been torn apart by him. Jinbei and Kuma are his own people, Gekko Moriah has disappeared, and Doflamingo has returned to the embrace of the Creator.
The plot has been shattered. Every step now is changeable and requires deep thinking. We can no longer follow the plot. The biggest advantage of the time traveler is slowly being wiped out.
At the beginning, Noah naively thought about whether he should keep the plot going so as to maintain his foresight. But after thinking about it, he realized that it was not necessary and could not be done.
Changing the world is a gradual process, and the path he takes is destined to be different from others. While using the plot to gain rewards, he must also accept the price brought by the rampage of the times.
And even if the plot is maintained until Luffy goes to sea, what will happen? It would be too terrible to let the tragedy of the past ten years develop.
Let’s talk about the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Although the poor performance of some of the original Shichibukai members led to a lack of brilliance in the later stages, their initial value is still very high. Some of them are very special.
Dracule Mihawk. Known as the "world's strongest swordsman", also known as "Hawkeye" Mihawk. Everyone knows how strong he is. His current style in battle has always maintained the style of a lonely master.
For now, except for Buggy who can ignore this temperament, everyone else mentioned Hawkeye Mihawk with a very solemn expression. He is a top master who raises the upper limit of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
His highest known record is comparable to that of Red-Haired Shanks, and even Whitebeard looks at him differently. Although he was also lazy during the war, isn't this the style of a big boss?
If everyone fought like Akainu, even a few Marinfords wouldn't be enough to defeat him. What's even more rare is that he hasn't been weakened in the new world, and his daily attacks like hitting meteorites are all basic skills.
Crocodile… suffered the loss of appearing too early, and even Haki was not arranged. He was a natural type, and was defeated by the rubber fruit. He was a wild character who wanted to take Whitebeard's head when he opened his mouth, and wanted to fight the navy when he closed his mouth.
Although his record is poor, his status is proven by the fact that he was imprisoned on the sixth floor of the Undersea Prison by the Navy. As a pirate who debuted very early, his earliest record can be traced back to when he fought on par with 19-year-old Douglas Barrett.
If Gekko Moriah were still alive, he would also be noticed by Noah, and he would be able to fight Kaido when he was young and get a lot of shots.
He was defeated by Noah for Ryoma's corpse and Shusui. I haven't heard any news about him in recent years. I always feel that people in the One Piece world, if they are not killed on the spot, will come back to life with their own terrifying vitality afterwards.
Noah was a rookie at the time, and his physical strength and swordsmanship were far inferior, so he didn't kill him on the spot. If he appears again, just leave him to Kuina. When the master is in trouble, the disciple helps him. It is the cycle of nature that a person who tried to steal the remains of the ancestors of the Shimotsuki family should be handed over to the descendants of Shimotsuki to deal with.
Boa Hancock is quite strong and has a good fruit ability. But she is a little short of the top. Top masters have a very high resistance to the Sweet-Sweet Fruit. Just based on her level of domineering, she is not really in the first tier. So she still fits the definition of Shichibukai.
In general, the Seven Warlords of the Sea created by the World Government at the beginning were indeed quite powerful. Except for Hawkeye, they were all below the level of Admiral.
But pirates are pirates, and this kind of checks and balances trick is still suitable for normal groups. Looking at the world government's seven warlords system, it has been implemented for more than ten years, and it can be said that it has no effect during this period.
Hawkeye does what he wants, wandering the sea alone and killing people everywhere. The Queen of Nine Snake Island is patrolling her own country. Jinbe is trying to protect Fishman Island from harm. Doflamingo ran to the New World to be Kaido's little brother. Moria is hiding in his own devil's sea and playing the violent army. Kuma and Vegapunk are doing human body modification.
In the end, the model worker is actually Crocodile! He worked diligently to develop a new pirate force, and spared no effort to fight other pirates in the paradise stage. He lived up to his title of Seven Warlords of the Sea and single-handedly supported the brand of the Great Pirates.
It is understandable what the World Government had in mind for this plan at the beginning. Dividing the pirates has a little effect, and there are still many pirates who will be divided because of this name. Balancing the Four Emperors in the New World... It's almost there, the number of people does not represent strength.
In short, there is another melee because of the competition for the seat of Shichibukai. After all, only pirates who are well-known or powerful enough to shock the crowd are eligible to be selected as Shichibukai. There is a flexible standard here.
