Chapter 419 The Biggest Secret
This peace talks went much more smoothly than Kizaru and Senju Tobirama had imagined.
During the peace talks, almost all the conditions proposed by Tobirama Senju, the negotiating representative, were met by the Five Elder Stars.
Facing Kizaru and his group, the Five Elders' attitude was as weak as that of a dynasty in Kizaru's previous life.
The conditions proposed by Senju Tobirama, in addition to the most basic cession of the East China Sea, also include the following.
1. The World Government and the Kingdom of Light establish diplomatic relations and the two sides coexist peacefully.
2. The World Government is open to commercial exchanges with the Kingdom of Light and shall not maliciously obstruct the normal trade activities of the Chamber of Commerce of the Kingdom of Light and the Kingdoms under the World Government.
3. Citizens of the Kingdom of Light have the legal right to travel within the jurisdiction of the World Government and shall not be stopped or detained without reason.
These are the three main conditions proposed by Tobirama Senju, and the second one is the one that Tobirama attaches the most importance to.
Why did the Kingdom of Light go to the world of pirates, spending material and human resources to launch an expedition and invasion? Isn't it just for the vast market, rich human and natural mineral resources of this world?
Senju Tobirama originally thought that the second point he raised would be opposed by the World Government. After all, the two sides were still in a war relationship. It was not realistic to conduct business transactions under such a relationship.
What Tobirama did not expect was that the Five Elders would agree so readily. The only requirement they put forward was that commercial trade needed to pay normal taxes.
Senju Tobirama certainly had no objection to this, as business dealings were supposed to be mutually beneficial.
Of course, this takes into account the chaotic and complex governance and tax policies of the member states of the World Government.
Senju Tobirama also added that the taxation of trade between the two parties needs to be negotiated together to come up with a fixed and universal tax rate range.
The Five Elders also agreed with this.
The specific tax rate negotiations were not discussed at the meeting. After the meeting, they will be negotiated by professionals sent by both parties.
With the cooperation of the Five Elder Stars, the peace talks went very smoothly and came to an end in less than two hours.
Such a smooth negotiation made the usually cautious Tobirama feel unreal.
Therefore, after the meeting, faced with the invitation to a banquet from the Five Elders, Tobirama and Kizaru discussed it and chose to decline.
There was no way. The lesson that Tobirama learned from his last death was too profound.
He always felt that there must be some conspiracy hidden behind the weak and cooperative attitude of the Five Elders.
Therefore, after the meeting ended and the two sides exchanged Den Den Mushi, Tobirama, who rejected the invitation to the banquet, left the World Government Headquarters with Kizaru and others.
The return journey will still be transported by navy ships.
Chief of Staff Tsuru and Admiral Kizaru, who had been waiting at the port, saw Kizaru and Tobirama and his party arriving at the port in a harmonious atmosphere accompanied by World Government officials.
"Oh wow! It seems everything is going well." Admiral Kizaru, who was standing next to Crane, showed an obscene smile on his face when he saw the guests approaching.
This admiral represents the attitude of the majority in the navy, which is to maintain peace and stability and prevent the war from further escalating.
This attitude does not mean that the navy has become peace-loving, but that Kizaru, as the enemy, is too perverted.
The high-ranking naval officers and elites who had experienced the battle of the Naval Headquarters had all witnessed Kizaru's terrifying fighting power that was like that of a god or a demon.
The giant of light, which is tens or hundreds of meters tall, is a deep memory that many people will never forget in their lifetime.
The strongest fighting force in history, which includes the Navy Marshal, the three admirals, the Navy heroes, and the Five Elders, is no match for Kizaru.
Faced with such an enemy, even the bravest warrior would find it difficult to muster the will to fight.
How can an ant defeat an invincible giant?
"The future order of the ocean will be completely changed." As the chief of staff, He is the think tank of the navy. As she looked at Kizaru and his group, she felt endless emotion in her heart.
Kizaru's words at the Marine Headquarters Square that day always came to her mind.
Liberation, democracy, equality
Those taboo words were like Pandora's box that had been opened. Who knows what kind of chaos they would create on the ocean.
Order begins to collapse. Will the chaotic future be a dark future filled with chaos and fighting, or will it usher in the dawn of light?
He didn't know where the future would lead, but at least for now, restoring peace would be the best situation for everyone.
"Thank you for your hard work, both of you." Seeing the duo of navy waiting at the port, Kizaru greeted them with a smile.
"Excuse me for being so nosy, but what was the result of this negotiation?" After thinking for a while, He chose to ask directly, as this question was related to all the actions planned by the navy thereafter.
"It went very smoothly. Maybe we will cooperate often in the future." Kizaru said with a hint of meaning.
"That's great." A smile appeared on He's face.
In a peaceful atmosphere, Kizaru and others boarded the warship and left the port with the farewell of World Government officials.
After waiting for the warship to completely disappear from sight, the officials of the World Government returned to Pangu City and reported the intelligence to the Five Elder Stars.
After asking their men to withdraw, the Five Elders started their internal meeting again.
"This peace talk should be able to stabilize them."
"When the weapons are successfully developed, it will be time for us to strike back."
"No, I still insist on corrupting them. We all know what power and wealth will turn them into."
"Nasujuro-sei, you are too weak."
"Everyone, there is no need for us to argue. What if we give up the East China Sea to them?"
"Saint Satan, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course! Have you forgotten our preparations?"
"The future of this world will eventually be destroyed. The sea will swallow up all the islands. For those who have occupied the East China Sea now, all they will reap is doom."
As soon as these words came out, the five elder stars at the scene all fell silent.
This is the biggest secret held by the Five Elder Stars. This world will usher in doomsday, and the angry sea will swallow up all islands and life.
At that time, the only ones who could survive would be those living in the Red Earth Sea, or even the world nobles in the holy land of Marijoa at the highest point.
Many of the world government's seemingly tyrannical actions and plans to drain the pond of fish are preparations for that moment.
Anyway, when the end of the world comes, most of the human beings will die, so it is better to squeeze their value to the maximum extent before they die.
Early in the morning of the second day, after sailing all night, Kizaru and his companions got off the warship at the port of Rogue Town.
"You two, if you don't mind, why don't we exchange Den Den Mushi? I think we will have a lot of contact and cooperation in the future." Kizaru, who got off the warship, took the initiative to propose.
In the face of Kizaru's proposal, Admiral Kizaru remained silent, with a blank look in his eyes, pretending he didn't hear it.
As the person in charge of this escort mission, Chief of Staff Tsuru looked at Kizaru in silence for a few seconds, then answered, "Give them the Den Den Mushi."
With Crane's instructions, the navy lieutenant commander in the rear returned to the warship and captured a Den Den Mushi.
On Kizaru's side, Minato Namikaze also took out a prepared Den Den Mushi.
Under the early morning sunlight, the two sides exchanged Den Den Mushi and reached a preliminary basis for contact.
"This is a good start." Kizaru watched the warship sail away and said to Tobirama beside him with a smile.
"The Navy and the World Government are not a whole." Tobirama agreed.
After waiting for so many issues of comics, Oda finally revealed some key information, and the world of pirates will usher in the end.
