Saturn Saint was furious. He amplified the Den Den Mushi's voice and declared to those around him, "All Navy, focus all your power on eliminating the Revolutionary Army Leader, dead or alive!"
The Magic Fortress was too important; they absolutely could not stand by and watch the Revolutionary Army take it.
"Revolutionary Army Leader, can you really hide on Death Island forever and not come out?"
"No."
When the Soul Reaper died, all players received a notification that Death Island would be sealed for five days, awaiting the resurrection of the Lord Boss.
During the island's sealed period, it would not be counted towards the island's [Descent into Reality] time.
This also meant that all players would be teleported out of Death Island. At that time, without player qualifications and ability restrictions, all Navy would besiege the Revolutionary Army in their peak state.
"Turn back now, and there's still room for redemption."
Saturn Saint patiently continued to persuade, "As long as you are willing to admit that you are an evildoer who has committed sins and surrender ownership of the Magic Fortress, the World Government will treat you leniently."
"After all, your father is the Navy Hero of the World Government."
On one hand, they needed to maintain the dignity of the World Government, so that outsiders wouldn't feel that rebelling against the World Government could leave one unscathed.
On the other hand, they had to pardon the Revolutionary Army Leader's evil deeds. It was truly difficult to strike a balance.
Fortunately, they could bring up Navy Garp as a cover. With his father's achievements in capturing Pirate King Roger, and the expensive indulgence [Magic Fortress], the World Government barely made an exception.
There was no other way; the Magic Fortress was simply too enticing. Even the Five Elders were unwilling to directly kill the Revolutionary Army Leader and then watch the Magic Fortress be reclaimed by the Game Merchant.
"I refuse."
Dragon's words were resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.
"Then you shall die!"
Saturn Saint's voice was cold.
The Five Elders, who controlled the world's highest authority, at this moment, pronounced the death sentence of the Revolutionary Army.
Although the loss of the Magic Fortress was regrettable, the bottom line of the World Government could not be violated!
…
"Mr. Saturn Saint, have you decided on the compensation?"
The aura of Death Island gradually weakened, and all players felt their sealed reality abilities slowly recovering.
Fang Yi asked curiously, eager to know the Five Elders' compensation.
Suddenly mentioned by the Game Merchant, the Five Elders, who had just been full of momentum, suddenly deflated, becoming somewhat hesitant and nervous, saying, "Mr. Fang Yi, we are willing to pay seven hundred billion in compensation."
The Celestial Dragons lacked nothing but money.
Every year, countless kingdoms' Heavenly Gold was continuously transported into Mariejois and locked in the treasury.
Anything that could be solved with money was not a problem.
In fact, the Five Elders were very curious: if the Game Merchant, who was already unimaginably powerful, wanted treasures, he could directly plunder the entire world, and no one could stop him.
Why would he, like now, exchange treasures by selling games and various items?
"Are you sure about taking out these assets all at once?"
Fang Yi didn't expect the Five Elders to be so courageous, willing to directly take out seven hundred billion in assets to avert disaster.
"Of course, we're sure!"
The Five Elders breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Game Merchant did not refuse.
To them, treasures were just waste paper.
Even if they emptied the treasury and had no liquid assets, who would dare to collect money from the Celestial Dragons?
"Although I am very satisfied with the World Government's sincerity, seven hundred billion Berries will cause some uncontrollable changes in the entire ocean."
Whether it was the Revolutionary Army, or the Pirates and the World Government, Fang Yi would not show the slightest favoritism. Even for the Five Elders, who had committed all sorts of evil, he would still explain the variables contained within.
"Uncontrollable changes?"
The Five Elders were perplexed.
They looked at each other, and Nasujuro Saint, who managed the finances, shook his head slightly and whispered, "For ordinary countries, a sudden loss of a large amount of assets would indeed cause chaos, but it doesn't matter to the World Government."
The strongest hegemony in the Pirate World had the ability to transfer losses to the entire world.
In fact, the World Government already held the right to issue Berries.
Fang Yi asked, "Have you decided?"
The essence of money being able to exchange for reward points was because of the origin contained within it.
And these origins did not come from thin paper money, but from the origins contained within the forces behind the issuance of paper money.
Based on their strength, the amount of resources they occupied, and the degree of favor from the world consciousness, the origins possessed by each force were also different.
In a kingdom, the more prosperous the towns, the more resources in the territory, and the more powerful experts in the country, the more origins there would be.
And as time passed, as national power grew, new origins would also be born.
Therefore, money could contain origins; essentially, what was exchanged was the national power behind the money.
The World Government, by paying Heavenly Gold, harvested the origins of the four seas, but the origins of seven hundred billion assets had already touched beyond the World Government's limit.
In this way, the origins that had been assimilated by the World Government would be lost in various ways, reaching a balance.
"Mr. Fang Yi, we have made our decision."
Unable to contact Imu Saint, the Five Elders could only use irrelevant assets as compensation. Those things involving the World Government's foundation absolutely could not be taken out.
Fortunately, the Game Merchant seemed to be like the short-sighted Pirates, actually collecting useless assets.
A sense of relief and a hint of disdain flashed in the heart of the Financial Wargod, Nasujuro Saint.
Even with absolute power, his vision was quite short-sighted.
Didn't the Game Merchant understand that assets came from military might?
As long as one possessed absolute power, even if all the World Government's assets were exchanged, countless new assets could be created in an instant.
"If possible, start printing more Berries in the islands you rule."
Thinking of this, Nasujuro Saint's breathing became a little rapid.
The Game Merchant, who was originally seen as a huge threat, now seemed like a cash cow, like a sheep constantly growing wool, from whom they could buy various items and equipment just by printing money.
"In that case, the transaction is complete."
The pros and cons had been clearly stated.
As for a more detailed explanation? Fang Yi was a Merchant who sold games, not a mentor who guided the world; he had no such boring obligation.
Buzz.
The moment the words fell, an indescribable feeling suddenly surged from the depths of everyone's hearts.
Everyone. Including the players attracted to the East Blue by the Reincarnation Game, including the audience behind the Den Den Mushi, including the uninformed civilians and slaves who knew nothing about the Reincarnation Game.
Even unintelligent beasts and Sea Kings, vegetation rooted in the soil, and even the wind sweeping across the sky…
Exchanging a large amount of origin at once, this was the wail of the Pirate World's consciousness.
The stronger one was, the more one could resonate with the world consciousness, like suddenly becoming emotionally low without reason.
The Revolutionary Army Leader, the world's strongest swordsman, Navy Hero Garp, and the new powerhouse Smoker…
Experts who reached their level all looked at the Game Merchant with horror in their eyes.
A strange feeling suddenly surged forth, just as Fang Yi had previously casually kneaded and restored the islands shattered by battle.
Now, the Game Merchant seemed to be kneading the entire Pirate World!
