Chapter 345 Agree and second
...
"Fffffffff! I'm fine! Maybe I haven't had enough rest recently!"
"We have let the young master work too hard. We are really derelict in our duty!"
The cadres of the Don Quixote family apologized one after another.
"No problem, let's continue the meeting!"
Doflamingo rubbed his brows, listened to everyone's reports, slammed the table and said seriously:
"In short, family, that damn old woman in the navy has finally been transferred out of the North Sea! Although she wasted more than a year of our precious time and caused us to lose a lot of bases and manpower, she also indirectly helped us eliminate a lot of potential opponents. Now that the North Sea is empty, it is a good time for our Don Quixote family to quickly occupy the entire underworld! Fufufufu!"
"As you command, young master! Young master is wise!"
"You are truly worthy of being the Young Master of Dover! This time, the Young Master will surely become the king of the North Sea Underworld!"
"The navy is so stupid, how could we be wiped out so easily! After so much time of trying without any results, Vice Admiral Tsuru will probably be demoted when he returns! He will definitely not have the chance to come to the North Sea again! Hehehehehe!"
Torrebol said happily while sniffing.
Doflamingo was already somewhat uneasy, and the thought of Vice Admiral Tsuru gave him a headache, so when he heard that Trebol had set up this damn flag again, he immediately said with some displeasure:
"Alright! Stop talking nonsense and get to work!"
"Yes! Young Master!"
Torrebol wisely shut up and everyone quickly left.

Holy Land Marie Gioia
Pangu City
A spacious and bright reception room is simply furnished with a few luxurious green leather sofas with gold edges, and an ordinary round coffee table in the middle.
Four of the five old men were in suits, and the other was a bespectacled bald man wearing a white Taoist robe, holding a samurai sword that was almost as tall as him.
The five old men in front of us are the Five Elders who represent the highest power of the World Government.
"Tell us your opinions! How credible do you think this news is?"
The God of Finance, Nasujuro Sei, who was posing with a samurai sword, spoke first.
"I think the probability of this being true is quite high. Although (a group of pirates stole the blueprints from the fishman shipbuilder and sold them on the black market) this statement is probably fabricated, it is said that the design blueprints of the ancient weapon Pluto have been passed down from generation to generation in the hands of top shipbuilders. Now it seems that this blueprint is very likely in the hands of Tom, the fishman who is known as the world's number one shipbuilder. That's why someone took the risk to kidnap Tom from the Judicial Ship. And according to the CP's later investigation report, all the people in Water City who were close to Tom, the fishman, have disappeared."
The agricultural warrior god with golden hair and beard and a Western appearance, Saint Peter crossed his legs and smiled disdainfully as he continued:
"So they came here to get the blueprints of ancient weapons. I thought that the fisherman shipwright Tom, who was sentenced to death for helping the Roger Pirates build ships, would be rescued by the remnants of the Roger Pirates. Don't these pirates love to boast about how loyal they are? Now it seems that I overestimated them."
"Haha, there's no friendship among pirates! They're just pretending. Although they're numerous, they're just a bunch of scum who can't amount to anything! They're just a minor problem! The navy is such a loser, they're not asked to wipe out all the pirates! They can't even maintain the balance of the sea! They just keep asking for military funds all day long! Do they really think money comes from the wind?"
Nasu Shoulang Sheng, one of the Five Elder Stars holding a knife, said dissatisfiedly.
"Let's put the issue of military expenditure on the next topic. As for the Pluto design drawing, I think no matter what, we should send someone to verify its authenticity. After all, it involves information about the ancient weapon Pluto! We must take it seriously. Not to mention the design drawing, even the name of Pluto should not appear above the sea. So if the drawing is real, we must retrieve it immediately! We must not let it fall into the hands of people with ulterior motives!"
The old man with a cane said seriously.
He had white curly hair, a fluffy white beard, a noble flat hat, and a scar on the left side of his face. He was the God of Scientific Defense, Saint Jaygolucia Satan.
"agree!"
The environmental martial god, Marcus Maz, whose beard and hair were long and straight white, narrowed his eyes and spoke.
"I second the motion! The CP department has been secretly searching for information about ancient weapons. It's rare for clear information to appear. Whether it's true or false, we can't let it go!"
The God of Law and War, Topman Vochuli, who is bald, has a mustache and a birthmark on his forehead, said solemnly.
"Then let CP make contact first! Let the navy cooperate and see who the other party is and what conditions they will propose. The new commander of CP9, Spandine, is surprisingly capable."
Saint Satan said as he stood up with the help of his crutches.
"agree!"
"agree!"
They have all witnessed the power of ancient weapons, so they have the same attitude towards this matter.
...
"That's settled, let's move on to the next topic! Regarding the various expenditures..."
"... "
"Since we can't save money, let's find a way to increase fiscal revenue!"
After a heated discussion, Nasujuro Sei, who was in charge of finance, touched his smooth head and said with a headache.
"Recently, many member states have begun to complain that the navy has failed to fulfill its obligation to protect them, resulting in a decrease in fiscal revenue. I think at next year's World Conference, someone will jointly propose a request to reduce the share of Tianshang Gold that should be paid!"
Saint Maz stroked his long white beard and said.
"Humph! These greedy guys, who doesn't use the excuse of paying the Heavenly Gold to collect far more money from the people than they need to pay for their own enjoyment! Those who fail to pay the Heavenly Gold will be stripped of their membership status. We should kill one or two countries to scare them and let them see what will happen if they lose their membership status and our protection!"
The bald Five Elder Stars Saint Vochuli said with a cruel expression.
"agree!"
"agree!"
"By the way, isn't there a Chamber of Commerce that is willing to pay the Heavenly Gold to apply to become a member country? I think we can give them some preferential treatment to encourage this behavior! Bring in some fresh blood, and let these arrogant and greedy fool kings know that if they can't afford the Heavenly Gold, there are others who can! They don't have to be the only ones who can!"
"agree!"
"Seconded!"

The first half of the Grand Route
Calm belt
A specially powered warship was sailing on the sea which was calm without a single ripple.
The sails, which were of no use in the doldrums, had already been furled, and the flag hanging on the mast should have drooped limply, but for the sake of appearance, it was artificially unfolded.
On the white flag, five dark blue dots formed a cross, with "WORLD" written on the lower left corner and "GRVT" on the lower right corner.
Some people may not recognize the flag of One Piece, but there should be no one living in this world who does not recognize this flag representing the World Government!
In the name of "absolute justice", this huge organization with nearly 200 member countries calls itself the "world", is in charge of justice, guards order, and dominates the entire world with absolute force. It is the largest international organization!
That is the world government!
