Chapter 570 Wu Hai System
...
"Whatever. It's only 10%. Don't call me over for trivial matters like this in the future. Just give me a call and let me know."
Tezulo waved his hand indifferently.
The Five Elders hesitated to speak.
If you want to scold him, he is giving you face and standing up to support you without hesitation. If you want to praise him, this guy's attitude is really infuriating. For a moment, you don't know whether to praise him or scold him, so all five of them chose to ignore him.
"However, this amount of money is naturally not a problem for my Golden City, but it may not be the case for those poor kings."
Tezulo scoffed.
"President Mosan, what do you think?"
The blond Five Elders turned to look at Mo Sang who was still thinking and asked.
"Maintaining world stability is everyone's responsibility. Since there is indeed such a need, we should do our part. At the same time, I also believe that the kings of the member states are people who understand the greater good. As long as we explain it clearly and let them know the pros and cons, they will surely understand the good intentions of the five adults."
The Five Elders nodded with satisfaction.
As long as these two people are willing to take the lead in expressing their agreement, this proposal will most likely be approved by the majority.
"But I think if the navy can show some sincerity and achievements, it will be easier to convince the member states to willingly pay the money."
Mosan continued.
"As far as I know, the reason why most member states are quite dissatisfied is that they paid money and nominally received protection from the navy, but in reality they never enjoyed the navy's services."
The bearded Five Elders stroked their beards and said.
"Regarding this point, the navy does have a lot of areas that need improvement, but I believe that there will be great changes after the new three admirals take office. This time we have also called the new navy marshal here. Marshal Zhan Guo will tell everyone about the navy's future plans and development at the formal meeting later."
Everyone present turned their eyes to the man wearing frog glasses.
"Yes! No problem."
Zhan Guo stepped forward and said.
"If there are no other questions about Tian Shang Jin, then let's talk about the second matter."
Saint Satan turned the page of the notebook in his hand and continued.
"Now, the New World has completely escaped our control, and four powerful sea emperors have emerged: the Whitebeard Pirates, Captain Edward Newgate! The BIGMOM Pirates, Captain Charlotte Linlin! There is also Gekko Moriah of the Shadow Corps and Jorako Mihawk of the Wano Country Swordsman Corps! These four have already become powerful. Although the latter two have not publicly declared themselves to be pirates, they are independent and do not accept any control from the World Government. They are clearly no different from those pirates!"
"The pirates all follow these four people as their role models, and the pirate forces are rapidly expanding again!"
Mosan and Tezoro listened quietly, thinking that these four people were either their own people or business partners, so there was no need to introduce them in such detail.
"..."
"We will never allow more kings of the sea to appear! In view of this, the World Government has decided to specially authorize the Navy Headquarters to establish the "Seven Warlords of the Sea System"! And select seven powerful pirates who are well-known among pirates, have strong deterrence, and have the potential to grow into the next Pirate Emperor to serve as the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
"Ah, this...? Master Five Elders! Why didn't you discuss this important matter with the Navy in advance?"
Zhan Guo immediately stood up and questioned.
"Also, how can the World Government and the Navy recognize pirates? This is trampling on the justice of the Navy..."
"Shut up! Sengoku!"
Ganggukong hurriedly grabbed him.
"Marshal Sengoku, when will the World Government's resolutions require the approval of your navy?"
The Five Elders with mustaches said coldly.
"Please put yourself in the right position. All you soldiers have to do is obey orders and execute them!"
Zhan Guo wanted to say more, but was held tightly by Gang Gu Kong. He could only sigh helplessly and retreat.
Then, Saint Satan introduced the obligations and powers that one needs to fulfill to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea recognized by the World Government. Hearing this, Sengoku's eyes widened and his three views were shattered.
"Hehe, turning pirates with potential into "running dogs" of the World Government and being spurned by other pirates, thus creating hostile relations among pirates... is this the legalization of piracy? I wonder who came up with such an interesting idea?"
After listening to this, Tezoro smiled in a way that was both praising and sarcastic.
"Legal right to plunder?"
Mosan said with a frown.
"What if the so-called Seven Warlords of the Sea attack my caravan? Lord Five Elders, I cannot agree with this either. You know, after so many years of hard work by the Bra Chamber of Commerce, we have opened up safe trade routes connecting countries in this chaotic sea. Only with trade can these countries develop slowly and have the money to pay the Heavenly Gold. If we allow the pirates to plunder legally at this time, won't we fall into chaos again?"
"We have already considered the problems you mentioned, and the solution is very simple. Regarding merchant ships, we only need to add a clause that prohibits the plundering of merchant ships of the Bra Chamber of Commerce and the Golden City. Otherwise, the status of Shichibukai will be directly revoked."
Saint Satan comforted him, saying that as for whether it would be deprived of his power when the time comes, we will decide then.
Mo Sang shook his head secretly. If pirates would abide by their promises to you, would they still be called pirates? Of course, it is in line with their usual style to only enjoy power and not fulfill their obligations.
The merchant ships of the Bra Chamber of Commerce and the Golden City are not afraid of pirate attacks, but the merchant ships of other member countries will be in trouble? However, the attitude of the Five Elders clearly showed that they were not discussing with them but issuing a notice, so Mosan said nothing more.
"As for legal plunder, they are pirates. Whether it is legal or not, they are still plundering. As long as they can succeed, they can deter other pirates! Maintain the stability of the sea situation, and isolate these powerful pirates from the pirate camp. It's a win-win situation. Compared with the huge benefits, the little harm is nothing but a minor disease! !"
"We have discussed this matter carefully for a long time. This is definitely the best way to stabilize the current situation. We have decided. I hope you can assist the World Government in implementing this system as soon as possible!"
The Five Elders made the decision directly.
The so-called World Conference is nothing more than a formality. The kings also focus on participation. Power will always be in the hands of a few people who really have a say. Therefore, before the meeting begins, everything has already been decided outside the conference table!
Even though the new system seriously damaged the rights and interests of their member states, the kings had no choice but to agree with it, because the weak can never control their own destiny!
