One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 62 Meeting of the Five Elders
"The Nasdaq family? They've been making quite a stir in recent years, and they can even support the navy's march into the New World."

"It doesn't matter. That guy named Ross is indeed quite capable, but he is only capable enough to stay in the East China Sea and be a businessman."

"Haha, that guy named Sakaski has the potential to become a general. And with the guys who replaced the middle-level officers, it's only a matter of time before the navy is out of control. Aren't you guys anxious?"

"Why rush? It won't cause much of a wave anyway. What we want is a calm sea so we can catch the fruit! Everything else doesn't make much sense."

"Well, now let's vote on the final ruling on the Nasdaq family."

In the magnificent hall, five elderly people sat on the sofa, with four documents placed in the middle.

The Five Elders, this is their position, and also the political pinnacle on par with gods in the eyes of the world. The entire sea seems to be shrouded by these five people.

They are indifferent to everything, and only the memories buried in the long past can prick their nerves, making them stretch out their long-rotten hands and pluck the strings of fate.

As Topman Woqiu spoke, the God of War, who was now in charge of "Legal Affairs", spoke, and four decisions that determined the fate of the Nasdaq family were quietly made:

“First, do the Nasdaqs pose a threat?”

"Agree. Their tentacles are too long."

"No, they have great value."

"Negative. No contribution to combat power."

"veto."

"I agree. The Navy cannot have a second way out."

"Three votes to two, rejecting the proposal. The Nasdaq family poses no threat. We will reevaluate in ten years!"

The first proposal was burned up by black flames, and the ashes floated in the air, carried away by an unknown force.

Picking up the second document, Wolqiuli Shengdao:
"Second, whether to infiltrate the Nasdaq family."

"I agree! Any force must be monitored."

"Agreed! Intelligence is crucial."

"I agree! Joyboy's will is most likely to be born in a place like that. We must monitor it!"

"Agree."

"I agree. We must always be on guard against the birth and selection of that fruit."

"Five votes in favor, the proposal is passed. CP9 will accept this mission. CP1-8 need to allocate personnel to assist and cooperate. If necessary, they can directly brainwash the seedlings."

The second proposal did not follow in the footsteps of its predecessors, but lay quietly beside the two juniors, watching them with gloating.

Pick up the third document and vote on it:

"Third, whether to issue invitations to member countries and vote for seats in the World Conference."

Several people were silent for a while. It didn't matter to join the member countries, they would just give it, but the seat to attend the World Conference was worth considering.

There is no other reason. Ross is a human-shaped natural disaster. The development level of the natural Yunyun Fruit has long been awakened, and it is possible that it has reached the level of deep awakening. As long as his physique can keep up, he can rank among the top seats in the ocean!
After all, if the physical strength cannot keep up, no matter how high the damage is, as long as it does not exceed the threshold, it cannot pose a threat to the real strong. As long as their physique can withstand one round, they can withstand several rounds!
Until they are exhausted, the top warriors always compete with each other in terms of physical strength, ultimate moves, and most importantly, willpower!

But how many people like this are there? Even among the Tianlong people, they are rare.

What’s more, among them, there may be only one strong one who is best at causing large-scale damage among the five!
Therefore, if a giant nuclear bomb like Ross came to attend the meeting in person, the entire Marijoa would have to be under martial law!
This is also one of the reasons why the first proposal was passed by two votes and vetoed by three votes. They all know Ross's information. He is the kind of guy who is difficult to keep if he wants to run away.

Therefore, it is best for them who have their own bases to avoid conflict with each other, which is good for everyone.

"Veto. The threat factor is too great. Just wait and see."

"I agree. A guy like Ross who has a family won't mess around. This is a common problem among our group."

"I agree. The eldest son of the Nasdaq family has great talent in economics. I am optimistic about him. The fruits of being hailed as the god of scientific research have already appeared. Currency has begun to gradually inflate again. In the next few years, the financial situation will be improved."

"Agree."

"I agree. We just need to adopt a policy that is not too different from the Navy. As another dog, the Nasdaq family might be qualified."

"Four votes in favor and one veto. The proposal is passed. A conciliatory policy will be formulated temporarily. After ten years, we will decide whether to accept, abandon, or destroy it according to the situation."

The third proposal was spared death.

The last proposal was taken out. Compared with its three predecessors, it did not have much text and information, proving that the incident was insignificant: “Finally, the fourth proposal.

Prerequisite: The Nasdaq family has passed the invitation proposal from the member countries.

The content of the proposal, whether to hand over the Heavenly Gold, and how much Heavenly Gold will be collected. "

"veto."

"Agree."

"veto."

"Agree."

"Agree."

"Three votes in favor, two votes against, the proposal is passed. Next is the amount of Tianshangjin to be collected. Please give your opinions, everyone."

"Just deduct the navy's military expenses and let them make up for it. Nasdacross also hopes so."

"Same as above."

"Same as above."

They all understood that if someone like Ross was asked to hand over the gold from heaven, he would rather give up the status of an Allied Power.

The World Government cannot directly sentence the other party to a crime, so as to prevent Ross from becoming desperate, so it just needs to follow his wishes and make him satisfied.

As for how to cut naval spending? That's easy! It's a completely obedient dog anyway, so just find a reason.

In this way, both sides have both face and substance, and then there is something to talk about next.

In this way, the meeting of the Five Elders ended, and orders were issued, promulgated and executed.

.........

A few days later, an invitation from the World Government to join the alliance arrived at Cloud Island and was presented to Ross.

Looking at the CP0 masked agent in black in front of him, Ross slowly picked up the prepared document and began to read it.

He was invited to join the 50 member states and attend the meeting every four years. He could refuse or send a representative directly without going in person.

And it eliminates the need for heavenly gold.

Such conditions are simply pie in the sky, and no kingdom can withstand such temptation.

Ross had to admit that the cake was indeed sweet.

But he hasn't been around for nothing for all these years, so he naturally understands the cost and significance behind these generous conditions.

If I am not mistaken, it may not be long before the navy's military spending begins to shrink, or it may grow slowly as the era of inflation arrives.

Moreover, his own Cloud Island will probably also start to be monitored. Although it will not have much effect on him who has the "Vision Cloud" and special observation Haki, the only trouble is that it will make him feel disgusted.

"I……."

Ross spoke calmly, showing no joy or sadness.
