Chapter 189: Moria Gets Nothing
The World Government has a love-hate relationship with Moria.
The love aspect is that Moria can create Bailey for himself, and the projects he has participated in have already taken shape. In the future, there will definitely be a lot of Bailey. Moreover, as a Shichibukai, Moria has made a lot of efforts in catching pirates. The most important thing is that Moria's ultimate goal is to become a king, which is completely beneficial to the World Government.
But at the same time, Moria is really a very restless person.
The World Government turned a blind eye to the transaction with the Navy, but Moria launched a recuperation plan and included all the veterans. That's fine, after all, it has nothing to do with the World Government. However, the conditions offered by Moria are generous, which has tempted many people in the Navy.
In comparison, the retirement benefits given by the World Government are nothing.
Therefore, with Moria's demonstration, the Navy strongly demands to improve the retirement benefits of soldiers.
And it seems to be getting bigger and bigger.
Not only did Sengoku and other high-ranking navy officials not stop it, but they secretly fueled the flames.
This is undoubtedly a huge expenditure for the world government, which is already financially tight. Moreover, if it is really done according to Moria's standards, then the world government does not need to make a budget, and all the finances can be handed over to the navy every year, and other departments can blow the northwest wind together!
But the world government has to take out special funds to improve the welfare of navy soldiers after retirement. After all, this is a problem related to the morale of the entire navy.
Therefore, the world government is very angry about Moria, and has lost a huge amount of money in vain.
On the navy side, if Moria is not one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they would like to give Moria a medal and thank him well.
Moreover, this time, the navy still helped Moria a little in the deployment of troops. Originally, according to the idea of the world government, only one general, Kizaru, would be sent.
Sengoku considered it and sent three warships, plus two vice admirals.
If Moria knew about this situation, would he turn the table directly?
Moreover, Moriah dared to make so many demands to the World Government now, he is really stubborn!
I just don't know how much Moriah can get from those five stingy old men.
Moriah is still bargaining with the Five Elders. After all, this time, Moriah really bleeds a lot. If he doesn't get anything back, it will be a big loss.
The Five Elders are certainly not vegetarians, especially Moriah's own power, which is really developing too fast. Among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Moriah is undoubtedly the first in terms of the power of the pirate group.
After all, the crew benefits that Moriah has offered are really too attractive. Even if you become a crew member of Moriah, you have to do much more than ordinary pirates, such as the task system and many other rules. This is really contrary to the pursuit of freedom for pirates.
However, benefits are benefits. This is a real world. Don't talk to me about feelings. Feelings can't be eaten.
Maybe when I went out to sea, I had a dream, but as time went by, I was used to seeing all kinds of life and death on the sea, and I saw too much of the cruelty of society. Naturally, the dream would fade away with time.
Moreover, isn't it for fame and fortune that everyone goes out to sea?
Since Moria can give the best treatment, why don't I fight for it?
Therefore, even if Moria's assessment requirements are stricter and stricter, and the abilities of pirates in all aspects are getting higher and higher, it is becoming more and more difficult for people to become a member of Moria's pirate group, but every month, there are still a large number of pirates who come to participate in the assessment, eager to become a member of Moria's men.
Naturally, with Moria's unremitting efforts, or in other words, with the training at all costs, the strength of Moria's pirate group is getting stronger and stronger, and many strong people have emerged.
It can be said that if you want to squeeze into the top 30 of the strength rankings, you must be a strong man who masters the two-color domineering, otherwise, you can't rank at all.
It is conceivable that in this paradise where even the concept of Haki is unknown, the Moria Pirates already have so many members who master Haki, so their strength is naturally conceivable.
What's more, the power of the Moria Pirates is still expanding. Naturally, the World Government is trying to suppress Moria, or let Moria go to the New World.
Therefore, Moria's request this time was directly ignored.
What a joke, we are going to suppress you anyway, how can we help you again?
Moria did not give up on this. If they can't reach an agreement, it can only be said that the common interests are not big enough. As long as there are more interests, everyone will agree.
Especially politicians like the Five Elders.
On the surface, there is indeed no problem with the World Government's deployment of troops this time, but doesn't the World Government want to win a great victory?
"Look, since no one has seen Pluto."
"Then let's make it real!"
"Can't we just make a fake one?"
"After releasing all the pirates, block the entire Magic Triangle area, and we can catch them in a trap."
"So, the position of Devil Pass is the most important."
"Whether we can keep all these pirates depends on Devil Pass."
For the deployment of the World Government, it is not the turn of an outsider to make comments, but after hearing Moria's plan, the Five Elders thought that this is indeed a great opportunity.
Of course, there are many talents in the Navy and the World Government, and it is not that no one has proposed this plan, but the World Government still focuses on the battlefield in the Seven Waters.
There is no other reason, just because this matter is really related to the ancient weapon of Pluto, so the World Government can't afford to lose, and it must not lose.
Even if the World Government takes out a fake Pluto design drawing, as long as it is snatched away by the pirates, the prestige of the World Government will be greatly reduced.
Let those ambitious people do it, the World Government is no more than that, so this time in the battle of the Seven Waters, the World Government must win it upright and beautifully.
The answer from the World Government shocked Moriah. When did the World Government start to pay attention to these superficial efforts? Didn't the World Government always not care about face? Today, the sun really rose in the west.
Anyway, Moriah talked with the Five Elders for a long time, and the result was a verbal statement that the government fully supported Moriah's "Shadow Kingdom".
Although the words sounded good, in fact, they were of no practical use at all.
Sure enough, it is unreliable to rely on others, especially don't believe the words of politicians. Everything still depends on yourself.
Now, it's better to think about how to face those pirates from the New World!
