Chapter 124
Compared with other Shichibukai, Profik's requirements are more cautious and his focus is more detailed.
In the future, he must use the power of the Shichibukai to "make waves" in the sea. At this time, he naturally hopes that the scope of the Shichibukai's privileges will be wider and the specific content will be broader, the better.
The seven conditions put forward by Profic seemed to have caught the Five Stars off guard. They seemed to feel that this delicate and cautious style was not the style a pirate should have.
But the Five Old Stars, worthy of being the Five Old Stars, were silent for just a moment before another voice came from the phone bug: "The World Government takes the maintenance of justice on the sea as its own responsibility and will never accept anything that violates justice. Article 3 No more carry!"
Sure enough, as Profik expected, Wulaoxing took the initiative to enter the second stage of the negotiation - the pulling and pulling of specific details.
"We pirates, after all, have to make a living on the sea..."
"Well, the righteous Shichibukai defeated the criminals on the sea after a hard battle and helped the World Government recover the lost property. At the same time, the World Government awarded the Shichibukai a commendation. What do you think?" Profik didn't want to eat this. Well, he is familiar with the flexible bottom line of the world government and doesn't care about the justice mentioned by the five old stars. "After all, who is the criminal is decided by you five old gentlemen?"
When Profic opened his mouth, even the five old stars were startled.
The translation of Profik's words is that it doesn't matter if we rob at sea, as long as the world government insists that the targets of the robbery are criminals. As for why the world government wants to endorse such a thing-paying tribute a portion of the looting proceeds can settle the matter.
In fact, this will also become part of the Shichibukai system in the future.
This "turn a blind eye" solution, combined with the bundling of interests, barely solves the problem in Article 3. After all, Wulaoxing established the Qiwuhai for the sake of balance on the sea, not for the interests of ordinary people. Anyway, regardless of whether they join the Shichibukai or not, these big pirates will still rob when they should. Thinking about it this way, the third point is not so unacceptable.
But the dispute between the two sides will not end so easily.
The Five Old Stars have launched attacks one after another from different aspects. Generally speaking, they have two goals: to strengthen their control and influence over the Shichibukai and to reduce the Shichibukai's free movement rights.
And Profik's response method is also very simple - based on the rights and obligations of the last Shichibukai in the original work, he strives for the rights as much as possible and avoids the obligations as much as possible.
His measures gave Wulaoxing a headache. The pirates on the opposite side seemed to know their side's bottom line in advance. They were unreasonably tough on many issues, and many of their demands were "just right."
If the five of them had not personally led this negotiation, the Five Old Stars would probably have doubted whether Dawn had placed a large number of undercover agents in the World Government.
After hours of procrastination, Profic finally reached a verbal bilateral agreement with Wulaoxing. Knowing the direction of the plot in advance provided a huge help to Profik, allowing him to firmly occupy the initiative in the negotiations. Generally speaking, Profic was quite satisfied with the outcome of the negotiations. He forced the Five Old Stars to make a lot of concessions - it seems that the rights given by the Five Old Stars to the Shichibukai in the original work are far beyond what the world government can do. The bottom line of acceptance.
The final results obtained by both parties were roughly as follows: Almost all of the eight demands put forward by Profik were accepted by the Five Old Stars, and only the fourth one made some changes. It was changed to "Daybreak is not subject to the control of the Navy and the World Government. Except for forced recruitment, the World Government and its affiliates are not allowed to interfere at any time."
In terms of obligations, there is almost no big difference from the terms of the King's Shichibukai in the original work. The main thing is not to attack people under the World Government and respond to "forced recruitment". Profic had no objections to these two points. Firstly, this was indeed the bottom line of the World Government. Secondly, forced recruitment was rare after all. What’s more, if the situation faced was too dangerous, giving up the Shichibukai The position is not difficult either.
After the two parties reached an agreement, Profik took the initiative to draft an "Oshishichibukai Franchise Agreement" and then sign it.
Such a suggestion made the Five Old Stars confused again. Why, are all pirate groups now so formal? In their opinion, they only need to announce the matter in the newspaper, then hold a meeting at Marie Joa or Marinvando, pass a resolution, and sign an agreement at most.
Besides, even if an agreement is to be drawn up, it must be done by the World Government, right?
Profic didn't think so. Wang Xia Qiwuhai had just been established, and I'm afraid it would be difficult to maintain its reputation with just one life or newspaper reports. There must be a document signed by the World Government to truly reassure him.
What's more, with the express provisions, on the one hand, it can restrict the world government from going back on its word, but on the other hand, it can also help it exploit loopholes in the future. After all, when it comes to word games, even figures like Wulaoxing who stand at the pinnacle of power may not be able to match the wisdom from the 21st century.
He decided to draw up a complete set of documents as soon as possible, and then use a special phone bug to send it to the Five Old Stars, asking them to sign and seal it on behalf of the World Government.
When Wu Laoxing saw the "Ocean Shichibukai Franchise Agreement" drafted by Profik, he almost got angry and cursed. This is a preface, a general outline, items, details, and even an appendix. It is dozens of thick pages, and you can feel the weight in your hand. Wulaoxing made Wu Laoxing suspect that Profic had already prepared this agreement clearly.
This "rigorous and meticulous" approach is very different from the world government's daily handling of affairs. As the highest authority in the world government, the Five Old Stars rarely refer to documents when handling government affairs. They often simply discuss and vote. Of course, they must also follow the orders of Lord Im. From this point of view, the Navy Headquarters is much more rigorous. At least Sengoku still often handles written work.
But to a certain extent, such a detailed document is indeed extremely clear.
An idea involuntarily arose in the mind of the Five Old Stars: Otherwise, our world government should also learn from the practices of these pirates?
These are all things for later.
Come back to the present moment.
In addition to verbal discussions, Wu Laoxing also informed Profik and others that the news that they had become the Shichibukai would be announced to the sea of films through newspapers in the near future. At the same time, they were also asked to move to the Chambord Islands and prepare to hold a meeting in Marineland or Marie Joa.
