"20 billion, that's about the same!" White Beard pondered for a while, and then said contemptuously: "But then again, the money is probably paid by the Tianlong people, right?"
The man in the feather mask didn't say a word, but his attitude was tantamount to acquiescing.
Everyone knows that more than half of the world government's huge maintenance costs are provided by the world's aristocratic Tianlong people. Why should the navy and the world government provide protection for the Tianlong people? This is not only the reason why they gave up their power to establish the world government, but also because the Tianlong people have indeed accumulated extremely huge wealth over the years after they obtained their privileges, and these wealth were provided to the world government.
This is also the reason why at the World Conference, whenever a country proposes to abolish the heavenly gold system, the world government will spare no effort to suppress it, because the world government is also very clear that the heavenly gold is an important source of wealth for Tianlong people. In the case of Jin, the support that the world government will receive from the Tianlong people in the future will also decrease accordingly.
Maintaining the navy and intelligence agencies requires huge military expenditures. Without the support of the Tianlong people, the navy's power in this world will shrink by at least half.
In fact, the world government is also quite treacherous. The gold in the sky is for the Tianlong people. Even if the member countries scold people, they are also the Tianlong people. The world government is like taking the Tianlong people as the scapegoat. People, it's not without reason...
20 billion Baileys is also a huge amount. The principality of Salamis was destroyed, only half of the city in the port. This cost is more than enough for reconstruction, but Whitebeard is still a little dissatisfied. Said: "In addition to money, you must guarantee that you will not cause any trouble to the Principality of Salamis with this incident. Navy warships are not allowed to approach within 100 kilometers of Salamis Island!"
The man in the feather mask hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Yes, we can agree!"
In any case, Salamis is indeed a non-joint country. Although the navy was also very annoyed that they sent troops to fight the navy at the time, it was only for this matter that they troubled Salamis in the follow-up, which angered Whitebeard again. Well, this is not a cost-effective thing. Even if Whitebeard doesn't bring it up this time, the world government and navy will probably selectively ignore the Principality of Salamis in the future.
"Very good!" White Beard nodded and said, "Then, when will the money be seen, and when will the agreement take effect!"
However, what Whitebeard and Ian didn't expect was that the man in the feather mask directly snapped his fingers, and the rest of the masked men behind him turned around and returned to the warship. A large leather suitcase returned to the Moby Dick.
"Bang bang bang!" One after another, these leather boxes were opened, revealing bundles of green Bailey banknotes stuffed inside.
All at the highest face value...
"This is 20 billion Baileys!" said the man in the feather mask.
Ian was on the sidelines, staring straight at his eyes. He didn't expect that these guys came prepared, and after the deal was settled, they gave the money directly, and the local tyrants were in a mess.
If he had known that they had so much money on board, he would have robbed them before they docked. Wouldn't the money belong to him
Not to mention that Ian is thinking this way, many members of the Whitebeard Pirates think so.
In fact, how did they know that the world government has no choice but to do this. Although they sent C0 to negotiate with the Whitebeard Pirates, once the deal is reached, there is no guarantee that the Whitebeard Pirates will not let the wind go. If there are other The idea of the Pirates' money, the world government will be in a hurry, 20 billion Baileys, the other three four emperors probably don't mind making a trip...
At that time, once the information about the ship carrying the money is leaked and it is robbed, the world government will have no time to cry. Whitebeard won’t care about your money being robbed. As long as you don’t receive the money, the deal between the two parties will not be considered a deal. .
So very simply, the world government asked the C0 people to bring the highest bottom-line money together, and pay the money directly after the negotiation is settled, which is the most trouble-free.
White Beard laughed loudly, and said: "It seems that the Wulaoxing guys are not stupid, I thought they would become confused when they get old... Well, I received the money, the deal is concluded, and my Hai The thieves will evacuate later, now, you hide-and-seek rats, you can go away!"
The man in the feather mask breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the unkind words. In fact, they were sweating in their hearts when they showed the 20 billion just now. After all, the object of the transaction was a pirate, so they didn't dare Guaranteed whether Whitebeard will turn his face and deny it after getting the money. Fortunately, Whitebeard is worthy of being Whitebeard, and he has no such dirty thoughts at all. Has a courage and a mind that ordinary people can't fathom.
However, the people in C0 were unwilling to leave just like that, so the man in the feather mask said, "Don't be busy yet, we have one more thing to do!"
"Oh?" Whitebeard said so, and after glancing at Ian next to him, he stopped talking.
The man in the feather mask also turned slightly, facing the direction where Ian was, and said, "If I remember correctly, this is the captain of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, the black dragon Ian, right?"
Ian was taken aback, what the hell is "Black Dragon"! ? A new nickname from the Navy
What he didn't know was that after the battle scenes of the Salamis battle were reported by Pulitzer and spread all over the world, Ian has now been completely remembered by countless people in the world, and the world has the deepest impression on him Yes, it is undoubtedly the black dragon wave released by Ian, the black fire dragon that is so arrogant that it seems to be able to swallow the world, and the huge black flame wings when Ian was floating in the air at that time, it has become a nightmare for many people. A screen that appears frequently.
So Ian now has a new title: "Black Dragon!"
What is surprising is that the navy quickly accepted Ian's new title.
The three generals of the navy, Aokiji, Red Dog, and Yellow Ape, are all named after animals, as are many of the nicknames of the following lieutenant generals, such as Pitbull, Flying Squirrel, Ghost Spider, etc. It seems that they are easier to accept. The nickname named after the animal, so up to now, Ian's nickname "Burning Blade" when he was a pirate hunter has been replaced by this new nickname, and the name of the big pirate Ian in the navy is also timely replaced.
Ian didn't look at it carefully at the time. In fact, on his new reward order, the name had changed. He was only attracted by the string of rewards at the time, so he didn't notice the change of his nickname, so that the feather mask man suddenly When he mentioned it, he hadn't reacted yet.
After he came back to his senses, he took a closer look at the masked man and said, "What advice do you have?"
"We have another mission, which is to talk to your Dragon Hunter Pirates!" The feather masked man said: "The navy can give up the pursuit of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, but the condition is that you take the Return the items and change the name of your pirate group!"
After hearing what the masked man said, Ian was in a bad mood. He originally thought that the masked man would mention Qiwuhai, but he didn't say anything, just simply gave up the hunt
As for changing the name of the pirate group, Ian probably is the reason why the Tianlong people are very taboo about the name of their pirate group, so those ridiculous guys don't want this name to continue to exist.
What Ian didn't know was that in the crowd behind the white beard, after hearing the masked man's words, a person suddenly felt moved, and couldn't help looking at Ian from behind...
"This is your bottom line?" Ian asked coldly.
"Yes!" The man with the feather mask said, "You should be very clear that holding that thing will not do you any good!"
"Really?" Ian smiled jokingly, and after pretending to think for a while, he nodded solemnly and said: "Well, what you say makes sense, then I'll go back and take it out, and just destroy it!"
"Uh..." The man in the feather mask couldn't help but hesitate when he heard this. He didn't expect Ian to say such a thing at all, and it was difficult to answer for a while.
However, among the missions that the feather-masked man came out this time, it was just a test for the dragon hunter and pirate group. The Tianlongren now have no patience to wait any longer. I want to throw out the position of Shichibukai and exchange for the identity chip, but it gets stuck in the Navy, because the Marshal Sengoku suspects that there is any connection between the Dragon Hunter Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates, so he firmly opposes a The pirate whose heart is toward the Four Emperors becomes Qiwukai.
The world government also has to consider the mood of the Navy, so there is no way but to let C0 test the Dragon Hunter Pirates first.
"So, what kind of conditions do you want before you are willing to return that item?" asked the feather masked man.
Ian thought for a while, then raised three fingers and said: "First, I want a position of Qibuhai, and this position of Qiwuhai must be announced to the world in the form of news! Second, the members of my pirate group , Their bounty must also be cancelled! Third, I want 20 billion Baileys!"
"We can't answer you now!" Although he was taken aback by Ian's conditions, the man in the feather mask said, "We need to go back and ask for instructions!"
After all, the CO is a spy of an intelligence agency, not a full-time negotiator. Since Ian's conditions are not within the scope of their authorization, he can only go back and ask for instructions. Ian understands this, so he didn't say anything, just nodded .
The man in the feather mask turned around and left with his men. After the warship left, the white beard looked at Ian in surprise and said, "Little devil, you actually want to become Qi Wuhai?"
"Yeah!" Ian nodded, and didn't push him, saying, "I need Qi Wuhai's identity as a shelter to win a period of development!"
