Pirate: Hades! ( One Piece)

Chapter 241: Final Agreement

Of course, this was not the end.

 Besides the Devil Fruits, there were many additional rights that the World Government proactively offered.

"Furthermore, customs duty at the Kronos Kingdom's Red Port shall be completely waived, and the World Government needs to dispatch Marine warships to escort..."

"The World Government is prohibited from interfering with the Pluto Pirates' protection of Fish-Man Island. The Marines cannot enter Fish-Man Island without the consent of the Kronos Kingdom..."

The more Hades spoke, the more sweat beaded on the Government Envoy's forehead.

This was truly a bit exaggerated.

Regarding the Red Port customs duty issue, it was mentioned in the World Government's document, but it only offered the Kronos Kingdom a 30% discount.

In the World Government's view, this showed ample sincerity, but they didn't expect Hades's appetite to be even larger.

Dispatching warships to escort the Kronos Kingdom's merchant ships? This was also impossible.

 The Kronos Kingdom was not a World Government Affiliated Nation.

The Marines were currently so busy they wished they could be in two places at once, yet they were expected to specifically escort the Kronos Kingdom.

Fish-Man Island wasn't the issue itself, as Hades had already claimed it.

 The problem was that if it were exposed, it would affect the World Government's prestige.

However, this could be considered a secret agreement.

But adding everything up, the World Government didn't know how much they would have to pay.

 Even their Member Nations didn't have such high authority.

"I'm very sorry, His Highness Pluton, the Government cannot possibly agree to these demands."

The Government Envoy's face was somewhat grim.

 Looking at the document filled with conditions written on the side, he truly felt that Hades, this young Monster, was difficult to deal with.

Should he say that this was indeed an elite cultivated by a Superpower like the Kronos Kingdom?

While sighing inwardly, he also knew that he absolutely could not decide this matter himself.

"I shall take my leave first, His Highness Pluton. I need to request instructions from the Five Elders. I will return tomorrow."

The Government Envoy stood up and said respectfully.

"Then at the same time. Someone else will negotiate with you then." Hades smiled and stood up, not using his strength to pressure the other party.

This negotiation had just begun.

 He was merely confirming the main framework of the talks.

The formal negotiation required true experts.

Although he possessed the ability to perceive emotions, this could not compare to experience.

Moreover, behind this negotiation, the Kronos Kingdom had specifically organized a staff group to maximize the Kronos Kingdom's interests.

"What a difficult fellow. I knew achieving our goal wouldn't be that easy."

The youngest Saint Pitt quietly took a sip of tea.

"But the result is still good. The Kronos Kingdom didn't refuse our participation."

Facing the harsh demands put forward by Hades, the Five Elders were not angry.

 They all knew this was just the beginning.

The arrival of the Government Envoy was merely the first step of probing.

They had already obtained a satisfactory result.

Next would be the formal negotiation.

 The World Government had already dispatched a negotiation team, stationed at the rebuilt G3 Fortress.

Upon receiving the news, they formally set off for the Kronos Kingdom and would arrive in just two days.

The initiative was with the Kronos Kingdom; the World Government was the one with something to ask for.

However, the World Government also needed to minimize their price.

The current generation of the Kronos Kingdom already possessed Hades and Titan, two world-class terrifying high-end combat power.

 Coupled with the Kingdom's increasing economic strength, it was developing rapidly.

The Kronos Kingdom would only become stronger in the future.

If they were to obtain powerful Devil Fruits from the World Government, who knew to what extent the Kronos Kingdom would grow?

However, such a price was necessary.

As long as the Kronos Kingdom did not become hostile towards the World Government, no matter how much they grew, it would have nothing to do with the World Government.

What the World Government lacked least was time.

Who the final winner would be one or two hundred years from now was still unknown.

This was also what the Five Elders worried about the least.

As long as they held the "Heavenly King," these Superpowers would not dare to act rashly.

In their view, the reason the Kronos Kingdom agreed was that they saw the terrifying power of the "Heavenly King" and had been deterred.

The terrifying records of the Heavenly King were in the History Books, but nothing was more impressive than witnessing it firsthand.

Although the Heavenly King's eruption in the Battle of God Valley did not achieve the perfectly anticipated effect, the effect of deterring many Hidden Factions was still barely achieved.

"We need to be quick. Some losses are necessary and worthwhile. We must quickly restore our rule over the Great Sea and then clear out the remnants of the Rocks Pirates in the New World one by one."

"We cannot let them develop stably."

Saint Warcury, the Warrior God of Law, said calmly.

Saint Mars, the Environment Martial God, looked at the other four.

"Give the Marines a little more time."

He still believed in the strength of the Marines.

Among the Five Elders, he was also the faction that trusted the Marines more.

They were well aware of the current situation of the Marines and knew the importance of the Marines to the World Government.

"The newly trained agents can also be given more assignments. There might be some losses, but it will allow the most elite group to grow up."

Saint Saturn, the Science Defense Warrior God, said coldly.

"Get the Army busy too. We can't just spend money raising them for nothing."

The Army's role had always been cannon fodder.

Especially after the sacrifice of many high-end combat power, aside from the three current Army Generals, "White Ghost," "Bamboo Python," and "The Storm Dragon."

The remaining millions of Army soldiers were existences that could be sacrificed at any time.

In the current situation of the World Government, they could only make the Army suffer a bit.

This negotiation lasted for a full week.

The time wasn't long, but the negotiating parties didn't sleep for days and nights.

Every so often, they would call the Kronos Kingdom Royal Capital and the Holy Land Mary Geoise in the Rear Area via Den Den Mushi.

Finally, the agreement between both sides was formally established.

The World Government reconciled with the Kronos Kingdom at the price of ten Devil Fruits.

The World Government recognized the Pluto Pirates' rule over Fish-Man Island and would not interfere.

 The Marines could not enter Fish-Man Island without consent.

The Marines could not attack the Pluto Pirates and could not enter the Pluto Pirates' territory without consent.

For the Kronos Kingdom's merchant ships, Red Port would waive 50% of the customs duty.

.

.

Regarding the arms trade item, the World Government would pay one Mythical Zoan, one Logia-type, two Ancient Zoans, forty Zoan-types, and eighty Paramecia-types.

A total price of one hundred and twenty-one Devil Fruits would be exchanged for the Kronos Kingdom not to conduct any form of suppression on the World Government's arms trade.

Of course, having paid such a huge price, the World Government also had demands.

Besides the Pluto Pirates not being allowed to conduct territory expansion.

That was, the Kronos Kingdom would allow the Marines to establish a Marine Base on a certain Small Island in the western part of the Kronos Kingdom.

Knowing this was a hidden piece planted by the World Government for monitoring the Kronos Kingdom, the Kronos Kingdom ultimately agreed.

This negotiation finally came to an end.

Even feeling the pain, the World Government could only agree.

Achieving the anticipated revenue would not happen overnight; it would take at least a few years.
