Chapter 156: Cake City Divides the Cake (Part I)
Another piece of good news is that Monchi D. Karp suspects that the method of cultivating the "King's Fist" may also be used to cultivate the Armed Color Domineering by the way, but he doubts it, because his own Armed Color Domineering has already been improved to his own limit, and no matter how he practices, he can't even think about any progress......
Although it was only a suspicion, Karp's instincts as a naval hero were accurate, and it immediately attracted the attention of the naval headquarters......
However, the admirals of the Navy immediately realized that there was a problem that could not be avoided......
Unless they have awakened their domineering spirit, according to the regulations of the Navy Headquarters, naval officers must at least reach the rank of rear admiral in the headquarters before they are allowed to learn the two domineering qualities of armament and seeing and hearing.
Is it necessary to have a rear admiral or even a vice admiral in the future to be qualified to learn the "King's Fist"?
If that's the case, the value of this "King's Fist" is not so great, after all, those talents who have been promoted to rear admiral and even vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters have been laying the foundation according to the original path for many years, and it may not be cost-effective to change course just for a little collateral benefit!
"Our Navy Headquarters is not the same as those pirates who follow the wild path and figure it out on their own, and we already have a cultivation method that has been fully proven to be stable and reliable......
Admiral "Steel Bone" Kong complained to the five old stars like this, but the latter are all human spirits, how could they not guess his true purpose?
However, thinking that the four seas were now in chaos, and the first half of the great route was not very peaceful, and the navy really needed stronger force to be able to suppress it, the five old stars finally agreed to lower the rank limit for naval officers to learn domineering.
After that, as long as the officers of the Navy Headquarters are promoted to the rank of colonel, they can apply to learn two-color domineering!
Although this did not fundamentally change the disadvantage of the navy compared to the late formation of pirates, it was undoubtedly a big improvement compared to the past, and the naval headquarters, which had obtained more and stronger talents, finally successfully withstood the first wave of the era of pirates.
However, more officers on the navy's side learned to be domineering, which inevitably led to the outflow of domineering cultivation methods, and within a few years, more and more pirates who mastered domineering appeared in the first half of the Great Voyage......
And the secret of the "King's Fist" was leaked out at about the same time, and finally became a big secret known to everyone on the Great Voyage as Mousse expected......
These changes have profoundly changed the ecology of the great voyage and even the pattern of the whole world......
But that's all for later, and the current world government has to negotiate a truce with the Big Mom Pirates first.
Since the value of the "King's Fist" was far less than expected before, the attitude of the representatives of the world government suddenly softened.
And Baron Dandan, who had made no progress before, finally gave full play to his political and diplomatic talents, even if Charlotte Lingling, who was the leader halfway, unexpectedly inserted a lever and caused a lot of interference, the Big Mom Pirates did not suffer a loss.
In this peace treaty, which later historians jokingly called the "Cake City Cake Agreement", the world government promised:
All non-routine military operations involving the admiral in the New World will be greeted by the Admiral at least three days in advance;
Except for the G1 branch that is being repaired and the G5 branch that is still under construction, the Navy Headquarters will not build or repair other New World Navy branches, and if necessary, it will notify the Wanguo side at least one month before the start of construction, otherwise it will be regarded as a declaration of war (all the same below, will not be repeated). );
With the exception of the politically significant Kingdom of Dressrosa (Elbaf is not strictly a member of the World Government, and there is a special clause to state otherwise. All other members of the World Government of the New World are free to join the Big Mom Pirates, and they will not be retaliated against if they withdraw from the alliance and refuse to pay the Heavenly Gold (as long as they have money, they can also step on two boats).
Although it is theoretically possible to step on two boats as long as you have money, it is obviously unlikely that any country in such a poor place as the New World would have such luxury.
By doing so, the World Government has ceded almost all of the New World Allies, including the Kingdom of Prodes, which had just annexed its rival Flanders, to the Big Mom Pirates.
As a result, the BIG·MOM Pirates, who originally guarded only a corner of the Totland Islands, have greatly expanded their sphere of influence, and although the size of their territory is not as large as that of the Whitebeard Pirates, who were once considered the overlords of the new world, their population and wealth are already superior......
Obviously, in addition to the superficial purpose of shrinking forces and consolidating the core territory, the World Government's voluntary concession also conceals a sinister intention to sow discord between the White Group and the Big Mom Pirates.
Baron Dandan, and even Charlotte Lingling and her eldest son and second son behind him, may not be able to see it, but the current strength of the Big Mom Pirates is not what it used to be, even if it is the Whitebeard Pirates, what is there to be afraid of?
Since the world government generously divides the cake, then eat it unceremoniously!
In addition, the World Government will secretly pay the Big Mom Pirates a lump sum of 30 billion Bailey's worth of steel, sacred trees (such as the branches of the treasure tree Adam), electrical appliances, meters, medicines, cosmetics and other goods needed by all nations, and promise to pay 5 billion Bailey in cash to Cake Island every year thereafter, as long as the peace treaty is not broken.
Speaking of which, the world government would have to pay a greater price than this, but Charlotte Lingling suddenly thought that she had not tasted many delicacies in the first half of the Four Seas and the Great Voyage, and suddenly proposed to set up an office in those countries famous for food, such as Notis in the North Sea, to facilitate the purchase of those delicious foods or high-quality ingredients.
The Queen, the Captain, and the Mother could not be disobeyed, and Baron Balls had to make significant concessions in the negotiations in exchange for the other party agreeing to meet Charlotte Lingling's whims......
For example, the six warships that had been used before (of course, the souls must be recovered) were returned to the navy, and the matter was not made public;
In addition, Charlotte Lingling, the four generals of dessert and the eldest son Charlotte Perospero promised not to leave the waters of the New World in principle, nor to get close to the two major branches of the Navy New World to within 200 nautical miles, and if necessary, they would communicate directly with the five old stars by phone at least three days in advance;
The Big Mom Pirates will also not establish settlements or military facilities in the Red Earth Continent and the Farol Islands, and will call the Five Elders at least a month before construction if necessary;
The rest of the BIG MOM Pirates will be notified to the Navy Headquarters before entering the Four Seas (i.e., they can move freely in the Great Passage and the Windless Zone, and they can also borrow the World Government's Bubble Gondola to travel directly through the Red Earth). However, it is also to inform to avoid misunderstanding, and the Navy Headquarters cannot stop it without a good reason.
