Chapter 224: Changes in the Family (Part II)
Coupled with a shadow like Stacey, the intelligence network in the hands of the Charlotte family has the potential to compete with the World Government and even the Cipher Pol under the Draconians.
It's just potential for the time being, but just as no one could have imagined that the Charlotte family would be able to defeat the world government and win, who would dare to say that in the future, the intelligence network of all nations will not become the number one in the world, and not just the number one among pirates as before?
Although in the previous communication with Whitebeard, Charlotte Lingling said that she was not too interested in expanding her sphere of influence, but if there are countries or forces that take the initiative to take refuge, as long as she does not have ulterior motives like James Glenn at the beginning, she will not turn away.
The first battle of the G1 branch of the navy and the subsequent performance of Karp retreating have established the status of the "uncrowned king" of all nations in the new world, and then a peace treaty was concluded with the world government, at least temporarily ruled out the danger of the gods fighting and affecting the pond fish.
Therefore, there are far more than one or two families who have taken the initiative to take refuge, and even the Kingdom of Prodes, which used the power of the world government to unify the island at the beginning, has also made up its mind to withdraw from the alliance and join the former after the truce between the nations and the world government......
The reason is simple: the power of the nations in the new world is stronger than that of the world government, and the amount of tribute demanded is much lower than that of heavenly gold.
The kingdom of Prodes, which is already a new world power, has taken refuge in all nations and become vassals, not to mention those bigwigs in the underground world, whose force may be average, but they all have important channels or resources, and their value is even greater than that of some smaller countries.
For example, the laboratories on Candy Island directly benefit from this, not to mention the intelligence network......
And compared with those countries and forces that completely chose sides, there are more people who step on two boats, and even some in Whitebeard's sphere of influence, it seems that even Edward Newgate, who once fought against One Piece Roger, has to endure three points in the face of the current momentum of the nations.
Then again, if you just compare the size of the sphere of influence, then the kingdoms still can't compare to the Whitebeard Pirates.
Mousse made a simple estimate according to the introduction of the eldest brother, not counting the country of Wano and Elbaf, whose situation is somewhat similar to that of all countries, and then counting the countries and regions that step on the two boats according to the two sides of the half, then more than half of the known sea area of the new world is controlled by Whitebeard......
And even after more than a year, less than a third of the nations have passed, and the territory of the world government is even less, except for the two naval branch stations, only the kingdom of Dressrosa is left, a lone seedling that cannot be lost......
However, as long as the nations do not rebel, the world government still has enough strength to keep this last bit of territory.
Because in addition to the two admirals including the naval hero Karp, who were stationed in the two naval branches of the New World, Don Quixote Doflamingo, who had become one of the "Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty" in advance, also moved his base camp from the North Sea to the former territory of Dressrosa with his Don Quixote family......
However, it may be that Doflamingo has received direct support from the world government in this time and space, and accordingly, he is naturally not immune to others, and his own strength and that of his family have not yet reached the peak, so the Don Quixote family is quite regular for the time being after coming to Tokushima, and its behavior is more like its predecessor Crockdahl who is dormant in Alabastan......
But Charlotte Perospero didn't have a good impression of this pirate junior, his arrogant pace that his six relatives didn't recognize was still secondary, and the main reason was that after the Don Quixote family also began to snap up the Hailou Stone, the price of this kind of Wano Country specialty monopolized by the Hundred Beast Pirates continued to rise, and now it has reached more than 3 times that of two years ago!
And Candy Island, because of the need for laboratories, is much more affected than any island in the world, so much so that Perospero even has murderous thoughts:
"If it hadn't been for the signing of the peace treaty and the need to give the world government a face, your eldest brother and I would have gone over and destroyed that bastard! Lick~"
But what Charlotte Perospero didn't expect was that his younger brother Mousse even wanted to kill Doflamingo than he did, because the Devil Fruit abilities possessed by the Don Quixote family were too tempting, and Don Quixote Doflamingo himself knew the secret of the "National Treasure" of the Draco people!
However, it is precisely because of the latter that unless the nations are determined to completely overthrow the rule of the Draconians, it is impossible to really do anything to Doflamingo, because the Draconians will never let their core secrets fall into the hands of outsiders.
But for the eldest brother's dissatisfaction, Mousse has a way to solve it: "Send an invitation to that guy in the name of my mother!" Give him a dismount first, and then talk about cooperation, now the two are bidding to buy Hailou Stone, and the money has been earned by Kaido, why not join forces to lower the offer? It's good for both parties! ”
"That's a good idea, lick~", Perospero's eyes lit up, and he quickly took out the paper he was carrying and wrote it down in case he forgot it.
And Mousse followed the conversation and asked about the overall progress of the World Government's "Seven Martial Seas" plan, and the result surprised him a little:
"All five? Is it going to be together so soon? ”
In addition to Sha Klockdal as a pilot, and the "Tenyasha" Don Quixote Doflamingo, who was defeated by Kaido last year, the current empress of Nine Snake Island, and the young swordsman Jorakol Mihawk, who just turned 21 last month, have also accepted the pull of the world government and become "legitimate" pirates......
"Moonlight" Moria is not able to make the strength stronger now than twenty years later, there is a domineering and stable inheritance on Nine Snake Island, and the current empress is not like the later Boya Hancock who has the ability to kill the big killer, and the strategic deterrent is much weaker, but its own strength will never be low, these two candidates can be said to be in Mousse's expectations.
But Joracol Mihawk, who has just turned 21, has already become a great swordsman, and he was confirmed by the world after killing a recognized great swordsman with his own hands, and it is absolutely not watery, which is inevitably a little unexpected by Mousse......
"Great swordsman! At least it's a first-class powerhouse, right? is only 21 years old, and he has not tasted defeat since he went to sea, from Jianhao to Dajianhao, tsk, who said that this guy is a parallel import? It's basically the dragon Aotian of this world! ”
While Mousse was complaining frantically in his heart, he naturally realized that the time when Hawkeye became the "world's number one swordsman" was only much earlier than the readers before the time crossing thought it......
