Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 194 The Negotiation Between the Five Elders and the Game Merchant

The revolutionary army leader, who had been on edge, breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't care about a single entry into the prize draw.

It's about how the game developers treat the World Government and the Five Elders. If negotiations break out, the Revolutionary Army will probably have to continue lying low and on the run.

Now, he is absolutely willing to gamble the future of the revolutionary army on the game of reincarnation.

"You were rejected?"

The expressions of the noble legion, high-ranking nobles, and the king were slightly hesitant.

This kind of rejection, shown to the whole world and without giving the Five Elders any face, made even the bystanders somewhat afraid.

They feared that the enraged Five Elders would launch a massacre and vent their anger by slaughtering the islands of the East Blue.

but,

On second thought, it's probably a negotiation and tug-of-war between the game merchants and the Five Elders.

The aristocratic group's usual tactic is to test each other, gradually touching the negotiator's bottom line, and only revealing their final needs at the very end.

"Mr. Fang Yi."

Saint Satan addressed him by his name, his voice calm and composed, without any sign of anger: "You say you come from another world and are unaware of the resources accumulated during the eight hundred years of rule by the World Government, so I can forgive your refusal."

Within the rich documents and records of Pangu City,

Suddenly, a Celestial Dragon family, the [Gilbon Ing-Saint Family], appeared, eventually producing the pirate Buggy, a world noble who ended up in the East Blue.

This incident alone is enough to demonstrate the mysterious and uncanny abilities of game merchants.

They were able to tamper with the data in Pangu City without anyone noticing, and even they had vague impressions of this memory.

The Child-Pleasure Fruit, the Ghost-Ghost Fruit...

The Five Elders, with their eight hundred years of experience, know a great deal about the secrets in their minds, including the Devil Fruit that can manipulate thought.

In their minds,

The game merchant probably really comes from another world, possessing methods that are completely different from Devil Fruits, but have roughly similar abilities.

Because it's not a Devil Fruit, it can't be neutralized by Haki, which is why it can act so recklessly in the world of One Piece.

But based on this alone...

Even Joy Boy, who once wreaked havoc on the world, was defeated by the World Government and sank to the bottom of the sea along with the ancient continent.

A mysterious visitor from another world is not yet qualified to make the World Government bow down.

"This is a gesture of goodwill from the world government."

Although the Five Elders were not afraid of the game merchants, they also did not want to rashly become their enemies.

These guys with all sorts of mysterious abilities are the most troublesome. They're different from those who only know how to use brute force; they're extremely difficult to deal with.

Moreover, according to the Five Elders' assessment of his combat strength, he is likely to possess strength close to that of Joy Boy.

"The revolutionary army leader has secured the first kill!"

"The Five Elders' negotiations with the game merchants resulted in the Revolutionary Army being disqualified from the lottery?"

Morgans was trembling with excitement.

They continuously projected the captured footage onto the circling albatrosses and transmitted it back to the news agency's headquarters.

Soon, these messages will be published in newspapers and spread all over the world.

Even in Wano Country, which is the most isolated from the outside world, tens of thousands of newspapers from major news agencies were crammed in.

"Have the Five Elders and the World Government actually toned down their arrogant attitude?"

The dragon was somewhat surprised.

When he was still in the Navy, he witnessed all sorts of cruel acts and reported them to the Navy Headquarters and the World Government countless times, hoping to bring about change from within.

But they weren't even qualified to be summoned.

He chuckled self-deprecatingly; as expected, his strength was still too weak.

No matter what path you choose, strength is the foundation of confidence. A dream without the support of force is just a pile of loose sand; it doesn't need the wind to blow it away, it will scatter all over the ground after taking a few steps.

"No need to forgive."

Fang Yi's smile remained unchanged, but he shook his head slightly and explained, "From the moment I arrived in the world of One Piece, I already knew all the secrets of this sea."

"Including world governments."

Negotiation and tug-of-war

It is a way for both sides, standing on equal footing, to probe each other and reduce the losses from the conflict.

The game merchant ignored the Five Elders' self-righteous goodwill and attempts to save face.

"So, you want to help the Revolutionary Army, even if it means going against the World Government and becoming the second pirate on this sea to fight against the entire world?"

Satan's voice was heavy, revealing a hint of anger.

And a subtle threat.

The Five Elders, who held high positions, took the initiative to show goodwill, but were rejected without mercy by the game merchant in full view of everyone. This was a desecration of the descendants of the Creator.

"Does this mean that, following in the footsteps of Pirate King Roger, the World Government is about to launch another full-scale operation?"

"What an exciting and momentous era!"

Everyone naturally assumed that the person the Five Elders referred to as the first to dare to challenge the World Government was the Pirate King Roger.

But actually,

Even when Roger was captured, only a few admirals from the Marine Headquarters were deployed.

The pirate that Satan Saint mentioned who fought against the whole world was Joy Boy, the pirate who was killed by the combined forces of twenty kingdoms and almost changed the world.

The true power of the world government has not been revealed for eight hundred years.

If the game merchant truly understands the secrets of the One Piece world as he claims, then he should be aware of the terror posed by the World Government.

"Mr. Satan Saint".

Fang Yi's expression remained unchanged as he casually said, "Perhaps it was my oversight that led you, as one of the Five Elders, and the World Government to have some unnecessary misunderstandings about me."

The world of One Piece is too vast and boundless.

It features an ancient continent that has sunk to the bottom of the sea, ancient weapons capable of causing world-class disasters, Devil Fruits that grant the wishes of countless people, Fish-Man Island thousands of meters below the sea, and Sky Island...

Even Devil Fruits that allow the manipulation of time fragments exist.

This also means that in the world of One Piece, anything unknown or incomprehensible can be attributed to ancient relics and Devil Fruits.

A lack of reverence for power.

"Fang Yi, the World Government has been rooted in this ocean for eight hundred years and has killed countless ambitious rebels."

Satan's tone was not good; he was clearly affected by the game merchant's unyielding attitude and could no longer maintain his indifferent demeanor.

"The admirals of the Navy Headquarters, the top operatives of the intelligence agency, the Knights of God, and our Five Elders, the new Pacifistas, and the Ancient Weapons..."

"I acknowledge your strength."

"The World Government is a great power founded by the Creator who saved the world. It has a broad mind and can accept guests from other worlds as long as they do not cross our bottom line."

"Seven Warlords of the Sea, Marine Admirals? Or perhaps you want to establish a nation across the Four Seas and the Grand Line—it's all possible!"

Satan's voice slowly emanated, spreading throughout the world.

This was something that had been discussed with the other four Elders long ago.

In such turbulent times, we should seize any opportunity to demonstrate the power of the World Government and instill fear in any restless pirates and rebels.

Do world governments possess ancient weapons?

Inside the island of death, Crocodile's lips twitched, revealing an exaggerated smile.

A flicker of apprehension crossed his eyes.

Crocodile wasn't too shocked by the information revealed by Satan Saint.

Indeed, it would be strange if a world government with such a deep foundation didn't have ancient weapons. However, it's impossible to seize them with our own strength alone, so continuing to collect ancient stone tablets is a more reliable approach.

First they displayed their military might, then they tried to win them over and offer them benefits...

Fang Yi smiled helplessly.

Even now, the Five Elders still feel like they are negotiating with them.

The rejection and indifference are just a way to get more leverage.

Furthermore, they set traps during the negotiations, and all those so-called benefits were based on the premise that [the game merchants were accepted by the world government] and [they gave in].

Once he agrees, he will be regarded as a subordinate of the World Government by all pirates.

It seems that

I'm still too good-tempered, which has caused some deep misunderstandings.

Since the World Government has already displayed its military might, I will also show some respect in return.
