Chapter 614 7 Wu Hai
"I am the God of Scientific Defense, Saint Saturn Satan! It will not benefit anyone if we continue to hurt each other like this. How about we both take a step back?"
Satan's words were still arrogant, but he even said words of negotiation, which was very rare. In their eyes, the people in the lower world were all ants and bugs.
But Vic is a very difficult bug to kill, and he'll bite your flesh from time to time. Although it won't break any bones, and you'll recover quickly, if it bites too many times it'll consume a lot of energy and blood, and you'll have to take a lot of supplements.
They also felt a little pain. With Vick's killing method, how many people would dare to work for the World Government? Now the remaining ones were basically arranged by the member countries. In addition, the New World was in trouble, so they were unwilling to get entangled with Vick anymore.
"It's no good for you, right? It's quite beneficial to us. With them as sparring partners, we have improved a lot! I don't want to lose such a good whetstone easily!"
Although Vic had guessed that the Five Elders would most likely compromise with him in the end, he did not expect that the call would come after two years of stalemate. It can be seen that the Five Elders really hated him to the core. Even after such a huge loss and sending so many masters, they still wanted to kill him.
However, every time Vic retaliated, he only targeted those strongholds, which made the Five Elders feel very painful but not crazy. However, even if the two sides really reconciled, he would make the other side bleed a little.
"We can pay a price. You should be familiar with the system of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. This system will be implemented soon. I can make you one of them and enjoy the legal right to plunder."
Satan, who was on the opposite side of Den Den Mushi, fell silent again after hearing what Victor said. It was indeed that they were the only ones who suffered losses, while the other pirate group was getting stronger and stronger. However, Kaido was about to become the third emperor of the sea, and the situation in the New World was about to change again. They also needed to release the Seven Warlords of the Sea to balance the power.
But they were also afraid that Wick would cause trouble and kill all the Shichibukai they had chosen. After all, Wick had killed several people he didn't like when he went for the assessment before, and they all saw it and didn't say anything. With Wick's current strength, he could easily do it.
So they discussed it and decided that since they could no longer intensify their efforts to crack down on Vic and his gang, they could only let them go like Whitebeard and his gang did.
But if they leave it alone, there is still a possibility of retaliation. After all, everyone has a temper, not to mention that Wick has been hunted by them for two years, and who knows how angry he must be. So after thinking about it, they still think it is better to let Wick become a Shichibukai and stand on their side.
Moreover, the Seven Warlords of the Sea have to obey the orders of the World Government, and the difficult enemy has instantly become their target for use. Maybe they can find an opportunity to set up a trap to kill Wick in the future, so this phone call happened today.
"Oh? But in your previous news, I was a demon who killed Celestial Dragons and so many civilians. How dare you bring someone like me into your camp? Aren't you afraid of causing public outrage? Even if you don't care about the feelings of the member countries, can other Celestial Dragons accept it? After all, I really killed a Celestial Dragon!"
Vic was a bit playful. When he was arranging Mantis's fellow countrymen, he had planned to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so that he could have his own territory and would not be hunted down by the Knights of God.
So this is also one of the reasons why we didn't kill the Celestial Dragons later. We always retaliated so that we could make demands when the time came. We didn't expect that Satan would take the initiative to propose it now.
"These are all small matters. As long as you agree, we will immediately let Morgans publish a news release to clarify what you did before.
After more than two years of continuous investigation, it was found that there was someone else who killed the Celestial Dragons and a large number of civilians. Someone will come forward and admit to it in the end, and then the matter between our World Government and you will be a misunderstanding.
Although you can't return to the navy, many people would like to see you become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Do you want to agree?"
The Five Elders had obviously considered the impact when they discussed it before. A piece of news could lead those who were unaware of the inside story astray. Legalizing piracy is already stressful, so if Victor's reputation problem is not resolved, the pressure will be even greater.
"You, the World Government, are really good at playing games! You play games so skillfully, saying white is black and black is white. Unfortunately, I am not interested in the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Tell me other conditions!"
Vic is well versed in the art of negotiation. You cannot let others know your needs, otherwise they will use this to control you. But Vic now knows what the Five Elders care about, so Vic took the initiative in this negotiation.
"Do you still want to return to the navy? That's impossible. It's a fact that you killed the Celestial Dragons. You can only be a pirate in this life. It's up to you whether to choose legally or illegally. As for other conditions? Do you want money? Technological products? Devil Fruit? Or something else?"
With Vic's current strength, the Seven Warlords of the Sea really has no appeal. He can occupy territory in the New World like Red Hair, which is much better than the legal right of plunder of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and he doesn't have to look at the face of the World Government. So in Satan's eyes, Vic really doesn't care about this title.
"My friends almost all have devil fruits, and they don't want to eat those who don't have them. As for technological products, they are not necessary. As for money, it's good. You can use money to exchange for anything you need. Money is the most practical. You see, our current ship is still a warship. Why don't you compensate me with some money? I want to change to a pirate ship."
Of course, Vic is not short of money, but he is a man who wants to do big things, and no amount of money is enough. He has always been investing in Ban's intelligence agency, and he has also earned some money by robbing some pirate groups in the past two years. Ban has also gathered the metals he needs, but he has not built a ship because he has been hunted down. However, for the future, no money is too much.
"How much do you want?"
"The bounty you're offering me now is 2 billion Baileys, I guess you've already prepared the money, why don't you just give it to me? I don't want to bother you any more."
"You call 2 billion berries a small amount of money? That's a year's worth of gold for an ordinary member country! I can give you this money, but you must keep your promise and not attack the World Government's bases, nor the Shichibukai."
"We will be colleagues from now on, why should I attack them? Also, send the money to me as soon as possible, don't ask those eight guys to send it. They have been working hard for two years, it's time for them to go back to Marijoa to rest. If they don't go back, they will become pirates. That's it, Saint Satan! You will know my position soon."
