Chapter 102 The Surprising Green Pepper
"I really didn't expect her to be as young as the rumors say," Green Pepper said first.
At this moment, he looked at Aini with an unusually solemn expression.
The Land of Flowers and the Happo Navy are not the closed-off Land of Wano; they pay close attention to information from the outside world.
They were very familiar with Enni, the Navy officer who had recently become popular.
They even knew about the Four Seas Exchange. Naturally, they also knew why Aini had come to the Western Sea this time.
Aini grinned and chuckled, "You flatter me!"
Green Pepper's face darkened: "I wasn't praising you."
Cai Yili immediately stepped forward: "I advise you to go back to where you came from... otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite."
Aini's smile widened: "What's the rush... Why don't we sit down and have a good chat? Maybe we'll hit it off!"
Bu Wu: "You've been supplying weapons to Japan, how can we possibly get along so well?"
Upon hearing this, Aini waved her hand and said, "No, no, no... you've misunderstood."
"Huh?...What do you mean? Could it be that you didn't use it?" Qingjiao, Cai Yi, and Bu Wu looked surprised.
Aini replied, "They transported it, and quite a lot of it."
"Are you playing us?"
Qingjiao, Caiyi, and Buwu were furious.
Especially the old man with green peppers, who is impulsive by nature, how could he tolerate being made a fool of?
Upon seeing this, Lafitte immediately became alert, placing his hand on his sword and assuming a ready-to-attack stance.
Aini waved his hand: "Calm down... We're here to talk business, not to fight."
Then, he said to Green Pepper, Cai Yi, and Bu Wu, "I am different from Doflamingo. They only sell weapons to your enemy country, Sakura Country. As for me, as long as you give me Beli, I will sell weapons to you as well."
"!!!"
Upon hearing this, Qingjiao, Caiyi, and Buwu's eyes widened. They knew that with the strength of their Flower Country, they could have easily overwhelmed the Sakura Country long ago.
Even if we can't destroy it, we can cripple it.
The biggest reason why they couldn't take it down was that Doflamingo and his group unilaterally provided weapons to Japan.
They can produce any number of Pele.
Doflamingo wouldn't sell him a single gun or bullet. In fact, very few people in the entire underworld would sell them one.
They knew that Doflamingo was behind this as well.
The purpose was to prevent them from conquering Japan, thus prolonging the war between the two world wars. In this way, he could continue to profit from the war.
But now, this person in front of me is actually saying...
We can also sell weapons to them.
What this meant, how could the three of them not know?
"Gurgle..."
The three of them swallowed hard, for this might be the turning point in the war between the Land of Flowers and the Land of Cherry Blossoms.
The three of them exchanged glances, and could see the excitement in each other's eyes.
After a long pause, he asked to confirm, "Are you telling the truth?"
Aini nodded: "Of course... However, in the East Blue I am the Governor-General of the Navy. But in your West Blue, besides being a Rear Admiral, I am also a businessman. A businessman naturally puts profit first. So, you have to agree to two conditions."
Without even thinking, Green Pepper said directly, "Speak..."
Enni: "First, from now on, transportation between your Flower Country and the Grand Line shall be entrusted to our Four Seas Exchange."
After thinking for a moment, Green Pepper nodded: "Okay, but whether we deliver the whisky or your caravan collects it directly, we can discuss the specifics."
Upon hearing this, Aini's eyes lit up: "It seems you already know the rules of my Four Seas Exchange."
In his heart, he praised the intelligence system of the Flower Kingdom.
He then nodded: "Okay, you can choose this one."
After all, it's the Land of Flowers, possessing extremely powerful military strength. But it's not the East Blue Goa Kingdom; in any world, strength gives you a voice.
"Second, you must make a clear statement to the entire Western Sea that you support the Four Seas Exchange. Any caravan that attacks our Four Seas Exchange in your Flower Kingdom's waters is tantamount to a declaration of war."
Upon hearing this second condition, Qingjiao, Caiyi, and Buwu looked surprised.
The first condition, far from being harmful to them, actually offers considerable benefits. You see, this was done to prevent them from coming to Japan.
Doflamingo and the entire underworld, as well as many kingdoms and forces in the West Blue, are involved in the blockade of their Flower Country.
Many of their actions were not pre-arranged. However, they all shared a common goal.
That is, they don't want their Flower Kingdom to lose the Cherry Blossom Kingdom and thus dominate the entire West Sea. Therefore, they have many troubles regarding various supplies.
For example, it's difficult to sell products from one's own country.
What they needed was difficult to obtain. With Aini, the global trading company, they only needed to send the goods to Whiskey Hill and receive the Baileys.
You can also buy whatever you want through the Four Seas Exchange.
It's like a windfall!
Therefore, they are prepared to make a huge sacrifice for this second condition. After all, agreeing to sell them weapons is already a tremendous benefit.
Now, by directly opening up trade, they can all prosper and strengthen their domestic economies.
It was so huge that they couldn't believe it.
Besides, they've already said that business people...put profit first. You can't just give them benefits without taking anything in return!
Where in the world can you find such a good person?
Besides, he's someone who works for the Celestial Dragons.
So when they heard the second condition, they almost doubted whether they had misheard.
What's so special about this?
From another perspective, this is a great thing!
This would be tantamount to telling the entire West Blue that they have now established a good relationship with the Celestial Dragons' Four Seas Exchange.
I can buy everything I want now.
So, each of you, think it through carefully. Do you still want to stand with Japan and target them openly or covertly?
If they're sensible, they'll deal with the Japanese and turn a blind eye to those who don't go too far. Those who go too far will at most be taught a lesson to vent their anger, then they'll make a big profit, and the matter will be over.
After all, they didn't want to be enemies with the entire Western Sea.
But if we continue to be their enemy, then we can only wait for our country to be destroyed!
Therefore, these two conditions left Qingjiao, Cai Yi, and Bu Wu somewhat bewildered.
He tentatively asked, "Are there really only these two conditions?"
Seeing their reaction, Aini couldn't help but laugh: "This is a business-to-business...private matter! I'm quite interested in your Eight Treasures Navy's Eight-Strike Fist. If you'd like, I'd like to learn it..."
"That's it?"
Qingjiao, Caiyi, and Buwu looked at each other in bewilderment.
That's right, the Eight-Strike Fist is the foundation of their existence, and the foundation of the entire Eight Treasures Navy. But when it comes to the overall interests of the Flower Kingdom, it's nothing.
I readily agreed.
