Alabasta.
On this day.
In the palace, Cobra was sitting on the throne, and various ministers and generals were standing in the hall below.
Everyone was frowning in distress.
Especially Cobra who was looking at the letter.
The reason why the entire kingdom's top officials were so nervous or frowning was because the letter Cobra was reading now was sent from the Golden City.
A few years ago.
Because a minister in Alabasta provoked the richest group, one day he ushered in the brainwashed role of Czar Klokdal with a bounty of 3.58 billion Bailey.
With just one move, he destroyed the two bustling cities of Juba and Eruma, and now they have almost turned into a desert and become a relic, and the death toll is as high as 100,000.
It was a heavy blow to the whole of Alabasta.
But what completely dragged Alabasta into the abyss was the fact that half of the financial income had to be paid to the richest group every year. In recent years, Alabasta did not dare to oppose.
Alabasta itself was a desert kingdom, and the finance was only enough to make the whole kingdom run to a well-off life, and some places were still poor.
Now half of the financial income had to be paid every year, which caused Alabasta to be even worse, and most civilians were almost living in misery.
So much so that there was a rebellion.
The whole kingdom was no longer the same as before when they provoked the richest group.
That was the sorrow of the weak.
Cobra already had white hair, and those who didn't know would think that he was an old man in his seventies or eighties.
Rebellions, finances, and other national affairs weighed down on him to the point of suffocation.
"In half a year, the richest group will hold the" Gaia Conference "on Cake Island in the BIGMOM sea area. All the kingdoms, forces, and patriarchs of the richest group must be present."
Cobra finished reading the letter and handed it to the ministers and generals below.
"Damn it, we are not a kingdom under the richest group, why …"
There were upright ministers who were angry, and now Alabasta became like this, all because of the richest group.
"We have to go, and we can't afford to provoke the richest group alone."
Some of the ministers were angry, and some were helpless and desperate.
It's not that they haven't looked for the World Government over the years, but they were all hasty.
After a long time.
Cobra knew that the World Government was completely unreliable, and the other party would not completely fight with the richest group because of Alabasta, even if his identity was special.
Because the beginning of the Cultivation Era, the Revolutionary Army, the Yonko pirates, and other forces are all headaches for the World Government.
If he wanted to solve the problem of Alabasta, he had to completely eliminate the richest group.
This was obviously unrealistic.
If it could be done, the world government would have done it long ago.
"Indeed, I have to go. This time, even if I have to risk my life, I will beg for the forgiveness of the richest group, even if it means less Bailey!"
"But now we're facing internal and external problems. If you leave, Your Majesty …"
"Also, Cake Island is in the New World. If we encounter pirates or bad weather on the way …"
Some of the ministers looked worried.
One had to know that Alabasta was not calm right now.
Cobra had already lost a lot of people's support due to the worsening conditions of the people's livelihood. Otherwise, why would there be a rebel army?
Furthermore, the New World was known as the most dangerous sea region. Not to mention the bad weather, just man-made disasters alone could wipe out the entire fleet.
"We have no way out."
Cobra stood up from his throne. How could he not know the difficulty of this voyage? But he had to go.
Calm Belt.
Hydra Island.
His situation was similar to that of Alabasta.
He had to pay 10 billion every year for a period of 15 years.
Fortunately, because there were various islands in the Calm Belt, and some islands had various rare minerals, most of the people on Hydra Island had become absentee workers in recent years.
In addition, Hancock went to the sea from time to time to plunder or destroy some pirates, which allowed Hydra Island to maintain a relatively normal life.
In this way, the entire Hydra Island was working for the richest group. To put it nicely, it was to pay off debts. To put it bluntly, it was a colony. The pressure of paying off debts for 15 years made Hydra Island lose the peace and stability of the past.
But the weak had no choice.
"What Gaia Conference, I'm not interested …"
Hancock sat on the throne and threw the letter on the table with a proud face. It looked like she was not going to go.
The Shandyan warriors who were eating and drinking below looked up.
Their eyes were full of danger.
"Please go back and reply to the Golden Emperor, we are very happy to participate in this conference."
Grorliosa was glad that she came as soon as she received the news.
She forcibly interrupted Hancock's death with a flattering smile on her face.
Hancock also woke up at this time and didn't speak. She had almost caused a disaster.
This damn arrogance.
I'm used to it!
"The world's first beauty is indeed beautiful, but her IQ is somewhat deficient."
The Shandyan warrior swallowed the meat in his hand and waved his hand. "I have sent the invitation. As for whether you want to go or not, it's your business. In addition, the next time you are arrogant, look at who it is. There are some people that you can't afford to offend.
Not to mention you are a Shichibukai, even if all the Shichibukai are Shichibukai, the richest group can crush you like an ant. "
The Shandyan warrior was even more arrogant than Hancock.
Whether it was the look or the tone, it was full of arrogance and contempt.
Behind him was the richest group.
After that, he didn't look at Hancock's pale face and left.
"Hancock, your arrogance will cause trouble for Hydra Island sooner or later."
Grorliosa looked at the back of the Shandyan warrior and sighed.
Hancock didn't speak, but her face was blue and white.
"This time you go to the Golden City, remember to be low-key."
"Don't play with your little temper."
"I don't need you to teach me what to do."
Hancock snorted and left the hall directly.
"Sigh …"
Grorliosa was a little worried.
In case Hancock's temper offends someone in this meeting, Hydra Island will definitely not be able to afford it.
Although Hancock is the world's first beauty and a Shichibukai, she is not at the same level as those top monsters.
As the Shandyan warrior said, the richest group wants to crush a Shichibukai like an ant.
At the same time.
Doflamingo also received the news.
He will definitely attend.
Even if he is reluctant.
There are other 67 kingdoms, 37 races, patriarchs, managers, owners, shop owners, directors …
Such a big move by the richest group naturally attracted the attention of other forces.
For example, the Revolutionary Army.
For example, Yonkō (Four Emperors).
For example, the World Government and the Navy.
Now, even the slightest movement in the richest group could not be underestimated. Who knew what Huang Jindi was up to.
Even if this is just an internal meeting, it is enough to make them pay attention.
Marin Fando.
"What do you think of this?"
In the Fleet Admiral's office, Zhan Guo frowned.
On the sofa, Karp was eating a doughnut.
Crane and Fujitora were also there.
They have just received news that the richest group is going to launch this so-called "Gaia Convention", gathering the kings of the kingdoms, patriarchs, or casino managers in their territories.
It's an internal meeting.
But the momentum is huge.
It must be known that the BIGMOM sea area and the explosive sea area were once the territories of Yonkō (Four Emperors). Not counting other territories, there are hundreds of millions of lives in these two waters.
"Anyway, we still have to pay more attention to it. The bastard Gaia has always been unpredictable."
"It makes sense."
"In addition, Boa Hancock and Don Quixote Doflamingo of the Shichibukai have also received a letter from the Gaia Convention and will be there in person. I hope the Navy will not misunderstand."
Zhan Guo also received a call from Doflamingo and Hancock.
They are also Shichibukai. If they go to the Golden City and are misunderstood by the Navy, it will not be good.
"What does the Gaia Convention have to do with these two sea garbage?"
Karp's interest was aroused.
"A few years ago, Don Quixote Doflamingo and Boa Hancock provoked the richest group. It is said that they have to compensate 10 billion Bailey or hand over 50% of their income every year."
Zhan Guo has a lot of information.
On the other side.
Wano Country.
"Guhahahaha ~"
"Gaia Convention?"
Black Snake looked at the letter in his hand, and he was also invited to the Gaia Convention.
"General, are we going?"
"Nonsense, not only do we have to go, but we also have to prepare a big gift!"
Black Snake was dancing with joy. Can we not go?
This time, not only do we have to go, but we also have to prepare a big gift.
It is said that this time, all the forces under the richest group are summoned. It's just right to meet them. As a henchman, he has to have the awareness of a henchman.
He must amaze the world and suppress the kings of other kingdoms. Only in this way can he leave a deep impression.
