At the beginning of June, the first day after the opening ceremony of the World Conference, the kings gathered in Pangu.

The meeting, which lasted from morning to afternoon, had only a two-hour break in between.

Finally, before dusk came, the first session of the World Conference ended.

Click, click, click.

The gate of the castle of Pangu City opened with a heavy sound of movement, and reporters from all over the world who were guarding the gate immediately began to shoot with long guns and short cannons.

"Hello, is today's topic about the 'Deep Sea Empire'?"

"May I ask what do the kings of the world think about the 'Battle of Chambord', the crushing defeat on the naval side?"

"Have you decided to exchange prisoners with the 'Deep Sea Empire'?" Fuji Tiger's life is a senior admiral of the Navy Headquarters, such an elite talent, it should be cost-effective to exchange it for 'Straw Hat Boy' Luffy, right? ”

As soon as the spokesperson in the suit stood firmly in front of the podium, a large number of microphones were handed in front of him, only to be stopped by the guards in heavy armor.

However, there was no barrier to the gossip of the crowd.

The spokesman had no choice but to raise his hands and press down into the void, temporarily calming the excited and anxious emotions of the reporters.

After the scene quieted down a little, he did not immediately answer everyone's questions, but first said some words about the scene, and then talked about the issues that everyone was most concerned about.

"The existence of the so-called 'Deep Sea Empire' has greatly affected the security of all countries in the world, and this force born out of the Pirate Kingdom has not changed its barbaric nature in the slightest!"

"They have seized our goods, hindered our normal trade, and slaughtered the navy in their duty of justice, destroying all the cornerstones of peace."

"They committed seven deadly sins."

The speaker stretched out seven fingers and lowered one finger for each "sin."

"They indulge their desire to kill, indulge in hoarding weapons and equipment, want to occupy more islands, escape the role of maintaining stability in the world like the world government and the great kingdoms, hate our people, and disrespect the 'descendants of the gods' Draconians!"

Such wicked people and rabble are the source of the world's troubles. Recently, they have committed atrocities in the Chambord Islands. The world government will not tolerate this! ”

"After a unanimous vote of the 50 participating kings of the World Conference, with 37 votes passed, 10 abstentions, and 3 votes against, it was finally decided that the world government would declare war on the so-called 'Deep Sea Empire'!"

"The 'steel bone' is empty, and the commander-in-chief of the whole army will lead the entire army of the world government to attack the so-called 'deep-sea empire', and the armies of all countries in the world will follow up one after another to form the 'United Army of the World Government'."

"We expect that by the arrival of July, we will completely destroy this evil empire and return a safe and peaceful environment to the people of the world."

As soon as the spokesman finished speaking, the whole scene exploded.

Every reporter squeezed his head and wanted to come forward to ask questions, but he was stopped by the guards one by one.

No one expected that on the first day of the World Conference, there would be such exciting news that shook the whole world.

The spokesman put his hands in front of the podium and waited for the chaotic scene in front of him to be brought under control before he began to answer the reporters' questions one by one.

Whether trusting, questioning, or half-believing, he coped with them one by one.

At the same time, the kings who had dispersed left through the side or back doors of Pangu City and returned to their mansions to rest and prepare for the proceedings of tomorrow's meeting.

The kings had a tired look on their faces, and the meeting was too great a great deal of energy to take.

Ikalem, the captain of the Kingdom of Alabastan Guard, pushed the wheelchair in which their king, Kobra, was sitting, and came out of the back door.

Kobra also looked tired, and because of old age and illness, it was more like he had been drained of his soul.

Behind him, Ikalem, with his curly hair, was seriously injured in the bombing of the Kingdom of Alabastan and recuperated for a long time before he was able to return to his post.

Lieutenants Bell the Eagle and Gaka the Jackal were also wounded in that incident, but returned to the Kingdom Guard relatively quickly.

Due to the special nature of the World Conference, Kobra couldn't bring too many guards to enter, and at the same time, he was worried about Vivi's safety outside, so he asked Bell and Gaka to stay by Vivi's side.

He only brought Ikalem to the roundtable—a different venue from that day's impromptu meeting, which was more formal.

Weiwei, who was originally admiring the flowers in the backyard garden, saw her father and Ikalem coming out of the ancient city of Pancheng, and hurriedly walked forward.

Bell and Gaka followed.

Vivi nodded at Ikalem, then took his place, pushing her father's wheelchair, and then asked with concern.

"Father, how are you? Tired? Do I need to go back to my room to rest first? ”

Kobra was originally frowning, but when he saw the pearl in his palm appear, he still forced out a smile.

"Don't worry, Vivi, I'm fine. It's just that the resolution on the first day of the World Conference turned out to be ...... I was quite surprised. ”

"I've heard about it, too." Vivi's tone was worried.

She didn't like war, and that massive civil war in the kingdom of Alabastan was enough to make her hate it.

Vivi pushes Kobra's wheelchair into the flowery garden.

Ikalem, Bell, and Gaka followed from a distance, not disturbing the conversation between their father and daughter.

"37 votes in favor." Kobra shook his head, "The vast majority of them were cast by the Deep Sea Empire, whose kingdom destroyed their original 'sin business'. ”

"As for the kingdoms that abstained with 10 abstentions and voted against 3, they either have trade ties with the Deep Sea Empire and are too close to it to be at the forefront of the battle line once they fire, or, like us, are unwilling to start a big war."

The Kingdom of Alabastan, in the first half of the Great Shipping Route, can be said to be one of the great powers.

Therefore, Kobra's negative vote was very weighty, and many kingdoms also voted against and abstained.

However, even though thirteen kings witnessed the battle of the Chambord Islands through live broadcasts, the kings who favored an all-out war still accounted for the vast majority.

No, it should be said that it was the battle of the Chambord Islands that fueled the fear of the Deep Sea Empire in their hearts, and coupled with the secret work of the World Government, they quickly voted in favor of it from the bottom of their hearts.

The fact that the "Big Five" didn't even make an appearance at this meeting is enough to prove that they are confident about the result.

And it turned out to be exactly what they expected.

Kobra sighed and said, "Vivi, I couldn't stop this war. ”

"Father, you've done enough, the Deep Sea Empire has just killed a vice admiral and captured another admiral, and the world government will never allow it to exist anymore......"

Vivi knows very well that counting the "Red Dog" Sakasky in the Battle of Punk Hasad Island, and Lieutenant General Stoloberg in the "Double Knife" in the Top War.

Vice Admiral of the "Green Cow" Aramaki is the third vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters to die at the hands of the Deep Sea Empire.

Not to mention, the lifelong general of "Fuji Tiger" is still in their hands.

The powder keg has been ignited.

"That's just one of the reasons, it's the fuse." Kobra clutched his gray chin and beard, "In fact, there are signs of all-out war...... Unfortunately, the Deep Sea Empire will soon be destroyed. ”

"Father, you don't seem to want the Deep Sea Empire to be destroyed?" Wei Wei asked in a suspicious whisper, "Is it because that Deep Sea Emperor once helped the Kingdom of Alabastan and helped us?" ”

"Vivi, that's just one of the reasons, I'm grateful to them, but not enough to influence my decision-making. I, as a king, cannot judge the situation by emotions alone. ”

"You've reached this age, it's time to learn how to govern the kingdom and how to see the situation. Let's look back in time and look at the recent decades of history. ”

"Rocks, Roger, Newgate, Kaido, Charlotte Lingling, Shanks, they have been entrenched in the New World for decades, have you seen them build an empire?"

Wei Wei shook her head, and couldn't help but follow her father's train of thought and enter into thought.

"There is a reason why the Deep Sea Empire appeared at this time."

"This represents the culmination of serious dissatisfaction with the existing system of world government, and the fact that a powerful player who has repeatedly defeated world government will raise the banner and that a significant number of people will naturally gather under it."

Vivi asked curiously: "Aren't Locks, Roger, and Newgate powerful 'characters'?" ”

"Yes, but it's not." Kobra bluntly said, "Among them, either they have the strength but no ambition, or they have ambition and no strength, or they have both, but the timing is not right and the approach is not right." ”
