They were just waiting for Abel's command to send them to their deaths!
"Is this how the Four Emperors treat their guests? There is an old saying that when two armies are at war, the messenger should not be killed."
Joseph spoke calmly, but no one knew what kind of expression was behind that mask.
Abel scoffed, "Hospitality? You bunch of Celestial Dragons' dogs dare to call yourselves 'guests'?"
"What's even funnier is that in this day and age, they're still playing the old trick of getting something for nothing."
"You useless navy and scum officers are afraid of having bounties on your heads, but we pirates aren't!"
"If you want me to remove the bounty on you, it's simple. Let's get practical. Don't you collect 'heavenly gold' for the Celestial Dragons every year? I want half of that money, and half every year! Consider it your protection fee."
"Hmm, 'protection fee' does sound a bit unpleasant, so let's call it... Dragon Hunter Gold!"
"If you can't hand it over, you're all doomed!"
Abel's words in front of everyone turned the faces of the CP0 members to ashen, causing them to clench their fists involuntarily.
Upon hearing these words, the pirates collectively reached a climax!
Everyone couldn't help but shout and cheer for Abel!
Simply because Abel did what they had wanted to do but dared not do, and even what they could not even imagine in their dreams!
That's so damn awesome!
What's wrong with the world government?
So what if they're Celestial Dragons!
Aren't you guys so awesome? Don't you receive 'heavenly gold' every year?
Then I'll collect your protection money, I'll collect 'Dragon Hunting Gold'!
What the hell!
Demanding protection money from the Celestial Dragons is fucking insane, so satisfying!
what?
Not giving?
Then let them all just wait to die!
Sooner or later, we'll add all those Celestial Dragons to the wanted list and see who has the last laugh.
A bounty has been placed on the Celestial Dragons?
Just thinking about it makes me tremble with excitement!
Seeing a group of fierce-looking guys yelling and screaming, Abel knew that his reputation would be hard to shake in the future, and would rival that of the Pirate King Roger.
To put it bluntly, what truly propelled Roger's reputation to its peak was not becoming the Pirate King, but the words he uttered as he was being executed!
That very statement sparked the Age of Exploration, drawing countless people to the prospect of setting sail.
Then it changed the entire world order, making the Navy, the World Government, and the Celestial Dragons hate it to the core, but they were helpless.
What Abel is doing now is also pioneering a new Age of Exploration.
And they will confront the Navy and the World Government head-on to the very end.
Although the conditions initially proposed by the CP0 trio seemed very tempting, they were actually a deliberate attempt to put Abel and his Dragon Hunter Guild in a difficult position.
The cancellation of the arrest warrant may seem appealing, but it actually conceals malicious intent!
Think about it, without the base of support that comes with being a pirate, how will Abel and his Dragon Hunter Guild survive?
merchant?
Bounty Hunter?
If Abel were to admit that the Dragon Hunter Guild is such a guild, it would fall apart within days.
It was precisely because he saw through the World Government's sinister intentions that he was so angry that he smashed the cup.
Do you really think he's a simpleton?
"This is an absolutely unacceptable condition!"
Without even thinking, Joseph immediately refused.
"You won't agree? Fine, when the photos of the Celestial Dragons appear on the wanted posters, I hope you won't regret it."
In an instant, Joseph and his companions broke out in a cold sweat.
If the Celestial Dragons were to issue an arrest warrant, the situation would completely spiral out of control.
If things go wrong, the whole world could fall into chaos.
After all, 99% of ordinary people in the world wish the Celestial Dragons were dead.
This door must absolutely not be opened!
Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable.
If it really comes to that, even destroying the entire Dragon Hunter Guild won't make up for the terrible consequences of opening Pandora's Box.
"President Abel, please calm down! We are genuinely here to negotiate with good intentions, and you should be aware of the consequences of doing so."
"So, you think I would care?"
Abel sneered, "When I crawled out of the mountain of corpses waiting to be burned in the White Town, I made up my mind to turn the whole world upside down and make those high and mighty people feel the suffering of us ordinary people a thousand times over!"
"Men, are you afraid of dying?"
"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!"
"Are you willing to join me in turning this world upside down?"
"willing!"
"Let's turn the world upside down!"
"I've wanted to do this for a long time!"
"Take down their bigwigs and let them feel our suffering!"
……
The crowd is excited!
"Did you hear that? It's a cry from an ordinary person."
"This fire will eventually spread to Marineford and the Red Earth."
Joseph and his companions looked extremely grim. They desperately wanted to escape immediately, contact the Five Elders, and send all the navy to destroy the entire Dragon Hunter Guild in one fell swoop.
Too dangerous!
Gustavus Abel is far too dangerous!
It must be completely eradicated!
Remembering his mission, Joseph could only force himself to stay, and then said dryly, "I've also heard about the White Town, but it's actually a misunderstanding..."
"Misunderstanding? Then why are the royal family still alive and well, and protected by your world government?"
"Uh……"
"Get lost, talking to you is a waste of time."
Joseph took a deep breath. "I will convey your thoughts to the Five Elders as they are. I also ask that you give us some more time to discuss this and refrain from any impulsive actions. As a sign of sincerity, I will request a meeting between you and the White Town royal family upon our return."
"Ah."
Abel sneered and waved his hand dismissively.
Surrounded by a group of people, the CP0 trio had no choice but to leave in disgrace.
It has to be said that this is truly the way the World Government operates; in order to keep him in check, they didn't hesitate to abandon the royal family of the original White Town.
Or perhaps these things have long since lost their value, and being able to make the most of them now is already a decent reward.
And what was Abel's attitude?
He would eat the sugar coating and then throw the cannonball back.
The Celestial Dragons certainly deserve to die, but those bastard royals who abandoned all their subjects and fled on their own deserve to die even more.
If the World Government really hands them over, he won't be lenient.
Having lived so many extra years for no reason, shouldn't we pay some price?
Chapter 755 Someone Infiltrates
Just as the CP0 trio was being kicked out, a sudden, extremely noisy sound of footsteps and explosions came from outside.
Explosion?
Who would cause trouble here? Are they tired of living?
Many people were stunned, and then looked at Joseph and his group with hostility.
After all, if we're talking about outsiders who would dare to cause trouble, there's no one else but them.
Even if they didn't do it themselves, there's a high chance it was related to them, or even that they sneaked in from their ship.
Under the undisguised malice of these people's gazes, Joseph and his companions felt bitter inside.
They had a rough idea that the commotion was caused by their own people, but they weren't sure if the mission had succeeded. They were definitely in danger now.
"Should we try to lend a hand?"
The same thought crossed the minds of all three of them.
Even a naive person can figure out that using these three CP0 agents as a cover, or even as bait, is definitely a scheme with much bigger implications!
If I can help, I definitely will.
However, they couldn't make it too obvious, otherwise they would definitely not be able to leave this place alive.
This is very embarrassing.
