Chapter 145 Let's Get Married
The Seven Warlords of the Sea are legal pirates recognized by the World Government, enjoying special powers and qualifications granted to them by the World Government.
Even each pirate can make an individual request that isn't too outrageous, based on their own needs.
The price to pay is that when the World Government needs its help, it must obey the World Government's mandatory summons.
After listening to Kaido's introduction of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Peony's beautiful eyes flickered.
It has to be said, she was indeed tempted.
This so-called Seven Warlords of the Sea system is a perfect fit for the current Kuja Pirates.
However, the peony is not the kind of fool who rushes in headfirst just because it sees an advantage.
She looked at Kaido and retorted, "The World Government is offering such good terms. With your qualifications to do business with the World Government, aren't you interested?"
"Hmph, becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea will suppress the growth of one's Haki."
Kaido didn't hide anything and explained frankly:
"Domineering aura, especially Conqueror's Haki, is the power of the heart."
"If you want Conqueror's Haki to grow to its peak, the first thing you must do is not suppress your mind."
"Do whatever you want, don't do whatever you don't want, don't need to take orders from anyone, and don't need to care about anyone's opinion."
"Only in this way can the growth of Conqueror's Haki be unrestricted."
"Becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, materially speaking, is indeed not a loss."
"However, because of the existence of the forced summons order, those who become the Seven Warlords of the Sea will have their minds restricted, which will affect the growth of their Conqueror's Haki."
"Therefore, even though becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea would bring me almost no loss and could bring huge economic benefits, I would not choose to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
Upon hearing this, Peony nodded thoughtfully.
Amazon Lily has a fairly complete inheritance of Haki, except for a slight deficiency in Conqueror's Haki.
However, as the Pirate Empress, Peony's understanding of this matter naturally far surpasses that of other ordinary female warriors.
"Becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea will limit one's growth potential, but it will bring economic benefits..."
"Without becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, one can grow stronger, but Amazon Lily will always have to worry about being attacked by the Navy..."
After much deliberation, Peony finally made her decision.
"Your suggestion is good. I will consider it carefully when I get back."
"Uro ro ro..."
Kaido continued with a smile, "Besides the Seven Warlords of the Sea, I have a second cooperation proposal. Are you interested in hearing it?"
With the suggestion of establishing the Seven Warlords of the Sea as a precedent, Peony's attitude towards Kaido softened considerably.
She nodded slightly again: "Tell me, what kind of cooperation proposal do you have?"
"Don't worry, it's nothing strange, just a simple grain trade."
Kaido then gave a brief overview of the grain production of the Spring Queen's Castle and the Dragon Kingdom, which were about to overflow.
"So, how about it? Are you interested in establishing a deep partnership with me in the area of food?"
"The food self-sufficiency rate of Amazon Lily is actually not very high, is it?"
Peony's eyes flickered again.
Because the facts are indeed as Kaido said.
The food self-sufficiency rate of Amazon Lily has always been a problem.
As for fruits, that's fine. Snake Island is mostly mountainous and jungle, so there's never a shortage of fruits all year round.
However, meat and staple foods have always been relatively scarce.
Staple foods were consumed because there wasn't enough arable land, while meat was consumed because the area was located in a windless zone.
While meat can be obtained through normal fishing on other islands, this is completely impossible on Amazon Lily.
They were in the very center of the sea king's nest, where they could catch almost no fish except for those colossal sea kings.
However, giant sea monsters are not as easy to hunt as most people think.
The risk factor is very high.
In particular, the damage its massive size caused to the island.
In comparison, robbing human merchant ships is much less risky.
In the first half of the Grand Line, monsters like Kaido are extremely rare, and should not even exist.
Therefore, after Peony finished her second round of deliberation, she agreed to Kaido's suggestion.
“No problem. Since you really have more food than you can eat, we can be merciful and help you consume some of it.”
Subsequently, the two sides held consultations on grain trade issues.
Both parties were ultimately satisfied with the outcome.
Kaido mainly focuses on a slow and steady approach, so the prices he offers are always fair.
Peony has a high demand for food and wouldn't mind establishing a long-term cooperative relationship with Kaido.
After discussing serious matters, the relationship between the two sides completely transformed from the initial tense standoff to amicable pleasantries.
Seeing this, Gloria Osa, who had been watching from the sidelines, suddenly had an idea and blurted out, "Why don't you two just get married!"
"What did you say?!"
These words came so suddenly that not only Peony, but even Kaido was taken aback.
Gloria didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said; she even began to defend herself.
"I'm not just making this up!"
"First of all, Kaido, your strength is beyond doubt. That Conqueror's Haki you just used has already proven everything."
"Moreover, you are now also the king of a country, and your status is in no way lower than that of the peony."
"Furthermore, you control a large amount of our scarce food resources and other resources. A marriage alliance with you would definitely be very beneficial to us."
Gloriosa turned to look at the peony.
"Now let's talk about the little peony."
"As the emperor of Amazon Lily, lovesickness is an insurmountable obstacle. Even if it's not Kaido now, there will be other men in the future."
"Rather than falling in love with a man who has no resources and can't stay on Amazon Lily for long, and who would force you to leave Amazon Lily as well, you might as well choose Kaido."
"More importantly, after you marry Kaido, you won't need to pay attention to the development of Kaido's power, and you can continue to focus your main energy on Amazon Lily."
"Between the two of you, it can be a pure love, where each of you gets what you need and fully enjoys the beauty of love."
"After all, Kaido has a legal wife, so you don't need to worry about those unnecessary things."
After listening to Groliosa's twisted logic, Kaido neither agreed nor disagreed, but simply looked at Peony with a half-smile.
As Rayleigh's original love interest from the previous timeline, taking her in would be quite interesting for Kaido.
As for Peony, her pretty face was now completely flushed.
In a fit of rage, she kicked Gloriosa out of the banquet hall.
"You filthy old hag with a head full of dirty and filthy thoughts!!"
"Who I marry is none of your business to spout nonsense!"
