Having temporarily put aside the matter of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and seeing that the two had stopped arguing, Kuro left the Fleet Admiral's office and walked towards the old man's office.
He did his best in this matter. The idea that the Seven Warlords system should not be eliminated was the idea of the old Navy, including Kuro himself.
But the candidate can be changed.
As long as one remains uninvolved and doesn't get involved, the outcome of the world conference remains to be seen.
What is the World Conference?
The official answer is that it is a meeting held in Mary Geoise by the rulers of the member states and the world government to discuss major political events in the world. It is held every four years, and not all member states are eligible. Out of nearly two hundred member states, only fifty are eligible.
These fifty are the 'powerful nations' in the world government.
The official answer is that it's a gathering, but in private, it's just a place for people to bicker and seek personal gain.
Not all member states are harmonious. Large countries lead smaller countries, each with its own interests, to fight and compete for power, only in a different form of warfare.
This has nothing to do with their navy.
But one thing is certain: the addition of Fishman Island will trigger a new wave of change.
The reason why the Revolutionary Army exists is not because of the so-called corruption of the World Government. To be fair, the World Government does a pretty good job. The only flaw is the Celestial Dragons.
From beginning to end, the Revolutionary Army opposed the Celestial Dragons, who were privileged beings even more privileged than those with special privileges, and the system of slavery.
Slavery was an official privilege of the Celestial Dragons.
As for how many non-Celestial Dragons secretly keep slaves, that remains unknown.
He purged many so-called slave-owning nobles in Chambord.
Fishman Island wants to relocate to the mainland, but there is a primary prerequisite: abolishing the Celestial Dragons' privileges.
The World Government has officially abolished slavery, but it has retained the Celestial Dragons' power. In other words, all laws in the world are ineffective against the Celestial Dragons.
They are lawless citizens, each one of them is Zhang San.
If Neptune wants to demonstrate his intention to relocate Fish-Man Island to the world, then the World Government must compromise.
Otherwise, once Fishman Island is relocated, it will face an endless stream of slave traders.
It's worth noting that when Kuro was in Sabaody, he obtained a list of items openly auctioned by an auction house.
It says 'human trafficking' on it.
The description states that the target market is criminals and citizens of countries that are not members of the World Government.
That's what they say, but whether it's actually true or not, that's just a matter of words.
The amount is shown above.
The auction price for a human is over 500,000 Berries.
The Tontatta, Mink, Long-Armed, and Long-Legged tribes all have more than 700,000 Berries.
The fish-men are worth over one million Berries.
There were even giants.
The male giants have a combined strength of over 50 million Berries, while the females have a combined strength of over 10 million Berries.
However, they are rarely seen at auction houses.
This thing can't be captured by slave traders.
Mermaids are very precious.
The auction price for a female merman is over 70 million Berries!
Even the merfolk with legs have a combined value of over ten million Berries.
This is for women; for men, it's only one million Berries.
As for Devil Fruit users, the price depends on the price of the Devil Fruit, also known as the 'market price'.
If Luo were captured and sold, the proceeds would definitely exceed 5 billion, and could probably break 10 billion.
Ninety-five billion is the price of the fruit, and five hundred million is his bounty.
If Fishman Island wants to relocate, it must abolish the Celestial Dragons' privilege of keeping slaves, but this is where the contradiction lies.
If it were so easy to abolish, there would be no revolutionary army.
The World Government would rather let the Revolutionary Army grow stronger and let the kings of the member states change again and again than reduce the status of the Celestial Dragons.
A fish-man island... probably couldn't do that.
“Not threatening enough, Neptune.”
Kuro muttered to himself, "You still don't understand. Peace sought through compromise will lead to its demise..."
The reason there are Seven Warlords of the Sea is, of course, because there are too many pirates and it is too dangerous.
These people never thought about peace, but peace will come to them.
But peace will not come to those who desire it.
The same principle applies to the world, both ancient and modern.
But this matter is not under the jurisdiction of their navy; it's a political game.
Their navy doesn't do these things, nor does it want to.
"I'm so damn tired, old man, old..."
Kuro walked into Kizaru's office and found him not there. He then sat down in the chair under the "Ambiguous Justice" plaque, reclined, opened a drawer, took out a tea bag, and slowly brewed himself some tea.
He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Where the old man went?"
"Lieutenant General Jin Ni."
Suddenly, a naval captain walked in, saluted Kuro, and said, "Admiral Kizaru has gone out on a mission."
"Oh? He goes on missions? That's surprising. I always thought he only knew how to trim his nails and drink tea."
Kuro put down his teacup and said, "Alright, I'll be going now. Tell the old man I've been here when he gets back."
"Um... Lieutenant General, I need to trouble you with something."
The colonel blocked the doorway and produced a document. "The general isn't here, so I'll have to trouble you. The government wants to confirm the discovery of traces of the Revolutionary Army in a certain location. If it's true, please arrest the Revolutionary Army..."
"Which side are you on?" Kuro interrupted the colonel and asked.
