I, a Celestial Dragon!

This action really frightened the two kings, and they hurriedly wanted to stand up and make room for Gawain's chair.

But as soon as they stood up, Gawain gently pressed their shoulders.

While forcing the two kings to sit down, Gawain nodded to the other kings.

"You kings have been through fourteen days of the World Conference, and you are probably tired of this table.

Even with the most wanton verbal sparring, it is impossible for you to maintain your excitement forever.

so……"

Gawain looked around, and whenever his eyes came close to someone, the king would lower his head exaggeratedly, not daring to look Gawain in the eye.

Seeing the kings' unanimous attitude, Gawain shook his head in loneliness.

He had never seen such a diplomatic scene in his previous life, let alone enjoyed it personally.

This kind of scene made him feel that diplomatic work among pirates was really too easy to carry out.

Of course, this does not prove his ability, after all, everything is given to him by his background.

No matter how stupid Oda portrays the Five Elders and the World Government.

We also have to admit that the Five Elders' rule over this world is indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The authority and nobility of the Celestial Dragons have indeed reached a peak that is almost impossible for any real political regime to achieve!

This world is truly firmly controlled by the idiots created by Oda.

Maybe the people being ruled are even more stupid than the Celestial Dragons...

Putting aside the thoughts in his mind, Gao Wen clapped his hands lightly and continued what he had just said.

“So, I will say fewer polite words and try not to waste everyone’s time.

I'm Gao Wen, nice to meet you, and you don't need to take the time to say hello to me.

Next, all the monarchs whose countries do not exist in the Grand Line, please stand up!"

The moment the words fell, nearly forty people stood up immediately!

Gawain looked at them one by one, until he saw Vinsmoke Judge, then he nodded slightly.

"Very good, you are indeed people worthy of my admiration.

Then, those of you who have a large export trade of raw materials such as metal ores in your country, please sit back in your chairs!"

After saying this, four of the kings stood up and looked around nervously.

Then they sat down nervously.

Gawain looked at the people sitting down. There were exactly seventeen of them, which was more than enough.

So, Gawain finally waved to Judge.

"Jajji, please sit down. As for all other monarchs who are still standing, please leave the current meeting room!

Don't worry, there will be no danger on your way out. I have also prepared small gifts for you.

Whether it is the limited edition slave from Impel Down, a specialty of Mary Geoise, or the limited edition model of my Xuanniao before it was modified.

Anyway, you guys are going to like those!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain waved his hand behind him, and the kings who had stood up immediately walked out nervously.

Regardless of whether there were so-called great powers among them, they did not dare to make the slightest sound in front of Gawain.

As these people left, the remaining kings in the conference room became more nervous.

Gawain didn't care about the kings' nervousness. After all the other kings left, he just found a chair and sat down.

After sitting down, Gawain waved to the remaining kings.

"Please sit opposite me, closer together, so I can see you clearly."

"As ordered!"

Neptune and the others immediately nodded in agreement, and then these kings who were familiar with Gawain spontaneously led the other kings to form a slightly compact formation and sat opposite Gawain.

After everyone was seated, Gawain tapped lightly on the table with his index finger. He did not speak, but let the depression and tension continue to spread in the room.

Indeed, even if he did not do this, Gawain could rely on his identity as a celestial dragon to force the next kings to agree to his conditions.

But since there was a chance to do it more neatly and thoroughly, Gawain couldn't give up the advantage at hand.

At this point, Gawain’s rhythmic tapping continued for more than six minutes.

During this period, the way he looked at everyone gradually changed.

In the eyes of Neptune and others, that change was just a little more playful than before.

But that playful look in the eyes of others made them feel that they were transformed into a plate of rich delicious meal, placed in front of Gawain, allowing Gawain to chop and select with a knife and fork!

As the kings trembled more and more violently, Gawain had naturally found the kings' common critical point.

He finally spoke.

"Hehe, sorry, I seem to have been lost in thought again just now.

You should understand my habits. After all, you are all people who shoulder a lot of things, and you should be good at thinking.

Now is the time for you to show your abilities, and I want to talk to you.”

"Just give your orders, Your Highness Gawain!"

On the side, Judge responded to Gawain's question immediately, and his words seemed to serve as a reminder to all the kings.

The group of kings seemed to have found an idea in an instant, and then they desperately expressed their loyalty to Gawain, saying nonsense such as "We will obey all your instructions."

Seeing that the atmosphere was gradually becoming lively, Gao Wen smiled knowingly and nodded to Jiazhi.

Then he patted the table lightly.

At this moment, the kings who had been making so much noise just now suddenly stopped. They sat down again in an orderly manner, their postures like little kids on their first day of kindergarten.

Facing the kings' obedient gazes, Gawain continued to speak.

"Most of you are monarchs who have traveled the Grand Line, so you would like to know my story over the past year.

Over the past year, I have been on a small tour of the Grand Route, and this trip has given me many interesting ideas. "

Having said that, Gawain reached into his chest pocket and pulled out a simple map of the Grand Line.

This map is not a nautical chart, but a diagram with the names of many countries marked on it.

Gawain threw the chart near the kings on the other side, and then he said with a smile.

“The route I took earlier was exactly the route King Cobra took.

Although I have not set foot in every one of your kingdoms, I think I can roughly guess the current situation of your respective countries even if I have only a glimpse of the whole country.

So, let me talk to you about what I think is the current situation of the Grand Route! "

Gawain pointed at Cobra, who quickly stood up and bowed to Gawain.

As Cobra bowed, Gawain continued.

"King Cobra's country cannot be called a truly great power in the world.

Whether in terms of strength, size, or population, the country is far from being comparable to the real great powers in the world.

But no matter what, Alabasta is one of the top five super countries in the world. Even if most of this is because Cobra has the blood of the Creator, no matter what, Cobra’s country is at least worthy of praise.

But even such a big country has faced severe drought in recent years, so much so that millions of people in Cobra's country starved to death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain slammed the table hard. His action scared the kings!

Before the kings could react, Gawain continued.

“Everyone, just imagine that even Cobra, a large country that is at least nominally ranked in the top five, is unable to resist the natural disasters at sea in this era!

In particular, due to the surge in the number of pirates in recent years, not only the major trade routes in the four seas, but even the transportation routes and trade routes within the Grand Line have been seriously affected!

You all must be familiar with Cobra. He can be considered a wise king, but due to the instability of the major shipping routes of the Grand Line and the increasingly difficult trade channels between countries.

Alabasta lost its stable supply and relief routes, and suffered the loss of millions of lives in just ten years!

It is conceivable that even Alabasta cannot obtain a stable supply of materials by relying on the current sea routes of the Grand Line. Will the countries where other monarchs are located gradually prosper in recent years and allow you to earn more trade channels?

impossible!

Because pirates are becoming more and more rampant, and the routes are becoming more and more dangerous, please give me an answer.

You have earned more in these years than before!"

After saying this, Gawain put his hands on the table and looked at the kings seriously.

Facing Gawain's gaze, the kings were stunned at first, and then immediately found their backbone.

Some kings have already called on Wang Gaowen to do something.

"Your Majesty, what you said is absolutely right. I have been earning less and less in the past few years. Not only can I not collect any taxes from the stupid civilians, but even the number of merchant ships traveling in the country has decreased a lot!

In order to make money to pay the Heavenly Gold, I have recently been relying on forming a bounty hunter team to treat the pirates passing through our country as trading commodities to maintain revenue!

So, Your Highness, can we lower the price of Tian Shang Jin this year?"

"Yes, Your Highness, please lower the gold in the sky. Life is really too difficult!"

"Your Highness is such a good god, caring about the miserable lives of us inferior kings. Please relax the payment of heavenly gold for us!"

For a moment, all the kings, with sad faces, fired cannons at the sky.

Seeing this, Gao Wen smiled with satisfaction.

He certainly didn’t come here just to give everyone the gold from heaven.

He was satisfied that although the kings before him were cautious, they were hardly fools.

Gawain is not good at convincing a fool, and since everyone is not a fool.

Then Gawain can convince them!

Chapter 410 White Eye King

When Gawain wanted to persuade these kings, the kings naturally wanted to persuade Gawain as well.

When Gawain first arrived at the meeting room, the kings were indeed very nervous, even fearful.

The reason why the Celestial Dragons are feared is, on the one hand, because of their noble status.

But on the other hand, the evilness of the Celestial Dragons that comes with a pure heart, that is, the evilness that makes others unable to predict what decision they will make, is the most terrifying!

Once Gawain was willing to sit down and talk with everyone, even though everyone didn't know what Gawain wanted to talk about, they knew that their lives would not be in any danger.

In addition, Gawain quickly turned the topic to the current status of the Grand Line.

At this point, most of the kings present understood Gawain's thoughts. It seemed that Saint Gawain was going to make some big move in the Grand Line.

Especially since Gawain had retained the kings of the four most important raw material exporting countries in the world. Isn't this strong evidence of a big move?

Therefore, the wise kings immediately made their demands to Gawain.

Or it is a proposal of cooperation..., it can't be called cooperation, it should be said that it is the first requirement of cooperation.

That means at least reducing or even temporarily exempting the Tianshang Gold in recent years!

If it wasn't a big enough project, why would Gawain leave so many kings behind?

Well, since the project is big enough, the benefits we get should at least be big enough!

In short, at this moment, the wise kings instantly stood in the same trench, looking at Gawain expectantly.

Gawain needs to understand them, and they also need to gradually understand Gawain through contact.

They wanted to see how Gawain would answer their questions!

And Gawain.

Facing the gazes of countless kings, he simply raised his right hand and tapped the table in front of him.

"Of course I understand the demands of the kings. After all, the amount of heavenly gold can bring considerable pressure to any country, right?"

"That's right, Gao Wensheng, I only bought thirty slaves when I went to Chabaoti this year.
