Chapter 784

Introduction?

Listening to Kuro and others, Aquitaine bowed his back and smiled ingratiatingly.

“It’s all negotiable, it’s all negotiable. Let’s move to the castle first and let me invite you.”

Kuro asked, “Really? I have more than 1,000 people here, you can’t favor one over the other. I still have 1,000 people on my ship, why do you care about the food of 2,000 people? It’s not good to eat badly, you can’t send us away with simple food.”

“This…”

Cold sweat appeared on Aquitaine’s forehead. He gritted his teeth and said, “Of course, you are guests. As the king, I will definitely treat you well!”

Kuro stared at him for a while, shook his head and smiled. He walked over and patted his shoulder. “Just treat us to a meal. There’s no need to be extravagant. Let’s do it like this.”

Without waiting for Aquitaine to agree, he walked towards the castle in front.

“I…”

Aquitaine pursed his lips and stared at Kuro’s back for a while. He shouted gratefully, “Don’t worry, the food of a few people is absolutely sumptuous!”

Stone King City does not have enough food.

This town is located in the middle, and the surroundings have been occupied by pirates. Not to mention trade, it is difficult for them to even leave the city.

Especially after Aquitaine tried to eliminate the nearby pirates but failed, the remaining troops could only defend Stone Royal City.

Entering the castle, Kuro let the remaining Marines camp nearby to rest while they were led by Aquitaine to a banquet hall.

Aquitaine smiled as he pulled out the main seat and smiled at Kuro. “Vice Admiral Kim Jong-un, please take the seat.”

Kuro looked at him with a cigar in his mouth and sat directly on the first seat on the right below the main seat. “No need, you sit on yours.”

After Kuro sat down, the others sat down one by one. Leda sat below Kuro, and below her was Crowe, followed by Basil.

There were only so many people coming this time. Moore, that lazy thing, and Momonga, that kitchen maniac, were definitely unwilling to come out, so they were placed on duty on the ship.

If anything unexpected happens, with Moore’s ability, he can come here in an instant to inform and bring him back.

On the left, Lucci, Stussy, and Kaku lined up in turn.

After they sat down, Aquitaine stiffened and finally sat in the main seat and said, “Please wait a moment, I have asked the chef to start cooking, I haven’t asked you…”

He looked at Marine and CP. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that they did not belong to the same faction.

After all, uniforms are different.

“Chloe, introduce them,” Kuro said.

“Yes, Mr. Kuro.”

Crowe said at this time: “Captain of Marine Headquarters, following Vice-Admiral Kim Jong-un’s expedition to the east and west, has witnessed the disappearance of countless great pirates, ‘Black Wolf’ Crowe. First of all, sitting in the second chair is Captain of Marine Headquarters, known as White… No, Flo Lida, also known as ‘Hao Die’, is the most dazzling pearl of our G-3 branch. She is very strong and has once dealt with several captains of the Whitebeard Pirates alone, including Marco. Sitting below me is my subordinate, Captain of Marine Headquarters, Basil, whose strength is not bad.”

With that, he paused and looked at the CP organization opposite him.

Kaku straightened his body and cleared his throat, ready to receive the Marine’s praise.

Perhaps he doesn’t know much about their CP. It doesn’t matter. I will continue his words.

“On the other side is the World Government’s CP organization.”

After saying this, Crowe fell silent.

Kaku waited for a long time, but the bespectacled man opposite him did not continue.

“Well, we are…”

“Anyway, that’s it.”

Kaku was about to speak when Kuro directly said to Aquitaine, “You also know the identity. There is no need to be in a hurry to join the World Government. We can eliminate the pirates, but after eliminating the pirates, your actions will affect whether you can join the World Government.”

Kaku was speechless.

What about the introduction?!

What happened to the introduction?

Was he just going to leave them there?

Kuro, of course, did not care what Kaku thought. What he thought was true. Although he had a good impression of Kaku, it was not just based on an impression. This was the addition of a country. But preliminary, the willingness to send a small number of soldiers to protect civilians has caused the defense force of this town to weaken. He is obviously not the kind of person who cares about his throne first.

“I understand.”

Aquitaine said, “To be honest, I have to admit that I joined the World Government to protect my country and my people. For this, I am willing to pay any price. I know that you want ‘Bomb Rock’. As the king, I can make the decision. As long as the Kingdom of Korf joins, I will pay you 30% of the mineral vein and you will be responsible for mining it. The gold will not be less every year.”

These words made Stussy nod slightly. This price is not low.

It has to be known that other joining countries only pay the price of gold in the sky. For the World Government, it is a good thing for the World Government to let a country join, especially a country standing in the New World.

The proposal above can be said to be very low, as long as they pay Sky Gold. As for Bomb Rock, they only need to have the right to trade and not sell it to pirates.

Aquitaine’s condition can be said to be very satisfactory for them.

Stussy wanted to agree immediately. As for eliminating the pirates, that was the Navy’s business. The government has orders and they will definitely do it.

Unfortunately…

The dominance is not in their hands.

“That’s your deal with the higher-ups. That’s not what I’m looking at.”

Kuro shook his head and said, “I heard that you are the country of pirates, but you seem to be different. We are responsible for cleaning up pirates, but after cleaning up, first of all, you can’t keep slaves. This is forbidden. Secondly, you’d better control the number of pirates in your kingdom.”

It is impossible to expect others not to go to sea and become a pirate in this era, let alone a kingdom. After all, the people of other countries will not tell you if they become pirates.

“The country of pirates…”

Aquitaine murmured the word and shook his head. “That was a long time ago. It is more appropriate to call it the Land of Mine Slaves now.”

“Lord Noadi, you can’t do this!”

Suddenly, a cry sounded outside the door.

With a few crisp sounds, the door was violently pushed open and an old man walked in. Behind him, some servants showed panicked faces, and a dining cart was tilted on the ground, plates were broken, and food was scattered on the ground.

“Hey, food…” Leda turned to look at the food on the ground and was stunned.

“There is nothing here to welcome you, Marine, and the World Government.”

The young man was missing a left hand, and the wounds all over his body looked like they had not healed yet. There were bandages everywhere, but his words were decisive and full of momentum.

“You are not welcome here. Go out.”
