Chapter 91 - 91 - Negotiations?
Giving Will the status of a Shichibukai was a good idea that the Five Elders came up with after careful consideration.
It can not only stop Will's asking for something absurd, but also ensure the authenticity of Pluto's blueprint.
If Will really had any other ideas, or if there were any problems with the blueprints, then he could be summoned to the naval headquarters at any time.
If he didn't dare to take it, it means something was wrong, and the so-called deal would need to be more careful.
The other reason is that the world government also understands his peculiarities, and would like to use this relationship to find a breakthrough, just like Kuma who is now working with Vega Punk to develop the Pacifista!
If Will could learn the secret of using various Devil Fruit abilities and how to rob others of their abilities, as well as eliminating the fear of seawater and sea stones, it would be another great weapon for the world government and navy!
Moreover, Will not only killed the original Shichibukai Crocodile but also severely injured Kizaru, which alone is enough to put him on the list of candidates.
This kind of 'bargaining chip' that kills many birds with one stone and has a hundred benefits and no harm, naturally needs to be put out for a test!
Although Will doesn't know what the Five Elders are up to, he should be no less vigilant!
"A Shichibukai? Sorry, I have no intention of working for the Navy!" .
"Then let me tell you one more piece of news. After the first battle, you have with Kizaru who lost his two legs after. The furious Sengoku has begun to actually set up a net. This time you will face not only the admiral but also Garp. And with the joint forces with the remaining Shichibukai who will hunt you down, do not take my reminder as a threat."
Will finally realized the seriousness of the matter, this is the real world and not an online game where you can play and upgrade by the book!
For example, didn't the unlucky Don. Krieg encounters a level 100 Big Boss Hawkeye right out of the newbie village and gets wiped out!
Subconsciously, Will had always felt that before entering the New World, there wouldn't be much of a problem, and the strongest enemy would be a Shichibukai's level.
But just after hearing these words, if the navy really sent such a force to besiege him, he seemed to have no other choice but to run.
A single Kizaru had almost killed him and with the possibility of strong enemies...
Is it really that bad?
"I know Nico Robin is on your Ship, too, as long as you hand her over to us..."
"Hahaha, Fuck of!"
Will had his heart stern, and it was now a big deal to find a way to get on the line with the Revolutionary Army.
The revolutionary army has been on the world government's neck for so long, but the world government can't do anything to them because of their unknown location until so many years where they get suppressed. So obviously, the capability of the Revolutionary is not small!
What's more is that he has the fruits of the gate in his hands, and even without relying on any forces, he's good enough to escape before the navy can encircle him!
Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to seek a deal with the world government, and if there was no means of self-preservation, why would he seek the skin of a tiger?
It seemed that the other side had guessed how Will's thoughts were. And their voices were no longer aggressive but changed differently.
"If Pluto's blueprint is confirmed to be correct, the world government can suspend the pursuit of Nico Robin, which is our biggest concession... This is the biggest concession we can make... The promise we just made is also valid."
Should I hang out as one of the Shichibukai for a while or join the revolutionary army?
To be honest, Will hadn't really thought about which power he would join, but on second thought, with this identity, he could gain more freedom of movement and no longer have to deal with the navy's siege.
And when he's almost finished collecting the desired devil fruit, the title of a Shichibukai will be useless to him, and it will be up to him to decide whether to find an opportunity to kill the red dog or to get himself a position as a Fourth Emperor.
Although many pirates in the outside world say that the Shichibukai are the Navy's lackeys, but in fact, there is no one who holds that title really listens to the Navy's orders, and every time they are called by the Navy, they don't take their work seriously, and even the most trusted Kuma's real identity is an undercover agent of the Revolutionary Army, with a purpose to conspire!
It would be a good idea to use this as a springboard to collect more devil fruits to increase his strength, using the power of the Navy and the World Government.
You must know that the World Nobel are so arrogant that they feed their slaves with devil fruits to entertain themselves!
Instead of being wasted like this, he should find a way to take it into his own hands!
He just doesn't know if that old man Kizaru will fight him to the death when they meet again.
The navy doesn't have such a thing as modesty anyway, since even the pirate Weevil who killed many cadets and also cut Admiral Zephyr's arm was also recruited as a member of the Shichibukai that forced Zephyr out.
Will does not doubt the ability of the world government in this matter.
Just on the credibility...
"I want two billion Belis, five devil fruits, and I can accept the title of a Shichibukai, but if there's something you want to call me for, at least one devil fruit in exchange for as much effort as I need to put into it!"
Some of the pirates could not become one of the Shichibukai even if they were squeezed to death, but Will could use this as a bargaining chip.
If anyone else had dared to say such impossible conditions, the Five Elders would have had a fit, even if the other party had the Blueprint of Pluto in their hands!
But they had their own plan, and the premise of that plan was that they needed to confuse the other side first.
For this reason, this condition was not really unacceptable, and the fact that the other party needed such a large number of devil fruits also made them even more certain of something.
"Any varieties?"
"Any variety!"
After a short silence, the other party gave a reply: "Yes, let Lucci take over the rest of the matter, and after determining the authenticity, the transaction will be officially finalised."
Will swept a glance at him, which was a tacit agreement.
He had gotten everything he wanted anyway, so there was no need to waste his time for an insignificant animal devil fruit.
After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Lucci took out a special Den Den Mushi from nowhere and handed it to Will.
"This is a fax Den Den Mushi, it can transmit the pictures taken."
Will took it and turned around and left, until his voice came out slowly at the door, "If you want revenge, you can always come to me."
Lucci's only remaining hand was clenched in a deathly grip, strength, he needed more strength!
Lucci, who had wasted his four whole year's for nothing, woke up again at this moment!
.....
After returning to their settlement, Will went to Robin's room for a long talk before returning to his room with a piece of paper full of unknown words.
There are a lot of strange things in this world, but in terms of magic, it has to be a creature like the Den Den Mushi!
There's one that talks, one that transfers video, one that takes pictures... It's like a simplified version of a cell phone!
