Chapter 360: Only Interests

The room where Dampier met the five old stars was spacious and bright, but there were not too many luxurious and expensive decorations.

With just one glance, Danbiel felt that the five old stars should be the kind of people with strong and full hearts, and these five should know very well that at their level, there is no need for any external objects to show their identity, on the contrary, precious and luxurious utensils will only be doubled in value because they have been used.

In the middle of the room, several sofas are arranged around a small round table, surrounded by five tall old people, standing or sitting.

The oldest man closest to the door, with a black flat hat on his head, sat on a single couch, and he was facing Danbil, revealing a long scar on the left side of his face, one end of which started from his forehead, crossed his temple, and remained in the fluffy white whiskers of his chin, and seemed to be thinking about something, and was looking down at his cane, as if he had not noticed Dampier's arrival.

A little farther away on a couch, there sat two old men with white beards, one of whom had long hair like a waterfall hanging straight behind him, and the other was bald on the top of his head, revealing a conspicuous birthmark on his forehead like a map of the archipelago.

The other man, with short blond hair, who looked the youngest compared to his gray-haired companions, was sitting on the last single couch in the room, looking Danbil up and down with interest.

The last old man leaning against the wall was a little maverick, the other four were all dressed in dark suits, only he was wearing a loose white kimono, revealing a bony chest, and other than that, he was the only one of the five who was holding an almost life-tall katana in his arms.

After the five entered the room in Danpier, none of them spoke until Danpier opened his mouth to reveal the mystery.

Since Danpier was imprisoned in the Holy Land Prison, he has been interrogated by the intelligence agencies of the world government, because Danpier made it clear from the beginning that they dared to kill themselves, and Karp and other navies would be doubly tortured, and before the world government and the navy senior management were not sure about the attitude towards William and his gang, and more importantly, how to deal with Karp's problem, these spies did not destroy Danpier's body too much, but they were not allowed to sleep, and it was essential to be locked in a cell with a bad environment.

In all the interrogations, Danbier only said that he had come on behalf of William, conveying his will for peace, and wanted to see the five old stars, and said nothing else.

Although Danbier came to ask for peace talks on his own initiative, he was not at all in a hurry, and although he was detained for three consecutive days without sleep, and his spirit was sluggish, he did not seem restless at all.

And the World Government and the Five Old Stars don't seem to be active at all, and they don't even seem to be putting more energy into Danbier.

They know very well that such a person can be sent, William must have made preparations to prevent intelligence leakage, and peace talks are not the first choice of the world government, after all, the navy can be said to have lost face in the East China Sea, even if the five old stars do not regard the face of the navy as very important, but the premise of wanting them to ignore the face of the navy is that there are sufficient interests and bargaining chips.

When Danbiel counted silently in the prison until the third day, he finally saw the Five Old Stars after being searched by the intelligence staff of the World Government.

Danbier knew that the sudden change in the attitude of the world government must be because of what happened in the outside world when he was locked up in prison in the past few days, which made the five old stars have the idea of "chatting" with him and seeing what chips William has in his hands.

Therefore, after entering the room, Danbiel immediately asked if the Four Emperors had been in contact with William.

The old man with a scar on the left side of his face who had been staring at his cane before finally turned his head to look at Danpier: "'Pirate Scholar', Albert Danpier, I now believe that when Morgan William was arrested and imprisoned, it was really you who were in charge of the overall situation in the outside world, not Morgan William who was manipulating him in prison. ”

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Danbiel to respond, he lowered his head again and stared at the cane, as if there was some esoteric knowledge on it.

"It's William who sets the strategy, and I'm just a man who does what he is told. Danbiel did not sleep for three days, and although his face was a little pale, he still maintained a polite attitude.

The old man with a map birthmark on his forehead leaned against the sofa, crossed his hands, put it on his stomach, and looked at Danbier with empty eyes: "You said that you want peace talks on behalf of Morgan William, and he wants to become the king of the Seven Martial Seas, right? Does it mean that Morgan William thinks that he has won the victory? Or does he think that by relying on the lives of Karp and a group of navy, he can threaten the world government, so he can only passively accept his opinion?"

"The position of the Seven Martial Seas is not a bargaining chip, and if the Seven Martial Seas become an alliance that can hold positions by threatening the Navy and the World Government, then this system will go against its original intention. The old man in the kimono said, "One Karp, plus a few warships, for the navy, the loss is not a bruise, and the power of the navy can still easily destroy and crush you, as long as we give the order." ”

Of course, their words are not untrue, the current king of the Seven Martial Seas, Doflamingo obtained the position of the Seven Martial Seas by threatening the world government and navy, but Doflamingo is a Tianlong person, and this matter involves the legal system of the world government, which is not easy to crusade, so it is difficult to do.

And the fishman and the sea thief, "Sea Hero" Jinping is also the five old stars in consideration of the problem of racial harmony, in order to eliminate the antagonistic attitude of the fishman and humans, they took the position of the Seven Martial Seas as a bargaining chip and gave Jinping Jinping.

"The soldiers on the battlefield will pursue you to the death, and even among the soldiers, only the most reckless commanders will ignore the loss and pursue the fish to the death," Danbil was not nervous at all about the threat of the five old stars, and said with a smile, "In this world, it is not only our group that is the enemy of the government and the navy, or there is a conflict, is it that every time the navy and the world government encounter one, they have to work hard and do their best, regardless of the losses, but also completely eradicate it?" In this way, no matter how strong the world government and navy are, no matter how strong the foundation is, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will fall apart, right?"

"William told me that a real politician knows how to seek common ground while reserving differences, and if it is a mature politician, if necessary, he can even find the common interests of both sides in the case of opposition, turn enemies into friends, and unite the front," Danbil glanced around at the five old stars who had been sinking like water from beginning to end, and did not show the slightest thought. He also told me that if you want to secure the position of the Seven Martial Seas under the king, it is useless to rely on the lives of Karp and others as a threat in exchange for the government's verbal and temporary promises, and the only thing that can really make our side and the government allies of the united front is interests!" 7110
