Chapter 726 A Temporary Truce
The Wano Country Agreement is the first agreement between pirates on the ocean.
It has been recognized by many top forces and has certain legal effect.
Of course, it was just a verbal agreement and there was no clear document.
Because they are pirates, the agreement will be torn up sooner or later.
It could be the Silver Axe Pirates, or it could be the Tyrant Pirates.
Of course, the possibility of the Tyrant Pirates is greater.
An old guy at the end of his career.
A monster that is at its peak and even on the rise.
Everyone knows that Zack is more likely to be the one who fights to the end.
Moreover, Zack, who possesses the power of the Mythical Beast Devil Fruit, will have a longer peak period.
The purpose of the agreement is to maintain the stability of the seastone trade in Wano Country and delay the war between the Tyrannosaurus Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates for a few years.
All parties can also gain benefits from it.
As long as it can last for a few years, it will be enough.
At least you won’t suffer any loss.
It doesn’t really matter who the final winner is.
The development of the pirate group was slowed down, and the two top forces were restraining each other.
Maybe we will be overtaken by latecomers.
The impact is indeed profound and wide-ranging.
Perfectly balanced the conflict between the Tyrant Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates.
The contradiction still exists, but it can be resolved later.
If the stalemate continues, it will not be good for either side.
In this era, the number of pirates has expanded rapidly, and if you are not careful, new monsters will quickly rise up.
And all parties can profit from it.
In addition to the profits from selling seastone.
The drafters of the agreement can also obtain large quantities of seastone at a cheaper price.
And these sea stones can be sold at a high price when they flow into the sea.
This is just the basics.
The Big Mom Pirates and the Gofeng Pirates got the money they wanted.
The Flying Pirates can openly station troops in Wano Country and secretly search for ancient weapons.
The Demon King Pirates achieved the multiple goals that Nash hoped for.
Next, we just need to mine the seastone mine and we will be on the right track.
Not many people are willing to rebuild Wano Country.
Zack destroyed Wano Country so thoroughly that he wreaked havoc three times in a row.
Even the Tyrannosaurus Pirates are not willing to go through the trouble of rebuilding, as it not only requires people, but also money.
Besides, before completely destroying the Silver Axe Pirates, Zack doesn't want to make things difficult for others.
The country of Wano is relatively well-preserved, with only the more remote southern part, as well as Onigashima and Black Snake Island.
Pirates like to take what's ready-made and want to start from scratch, but neither the Tyrant Pirates nor the Silver Axe Pirates are willing to do this.
Wano Country still has resources.
What is needed is people.
Immediately after the signing of the agreement, the Tyrant Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates aggressively moved residents from other islands to Wano Country.
Someone will do the construction work, but it will take longer to resume production.
No matter what, Wano Country needs people.
As for supplies, they can be obtained from other islands.
After that, the Hiku Pirates, the Demon King Pirates, the Gofeng Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates all transported a group of prisoners to Wano Country.
For top forces like these, there are naturally prison-like buildings inside their territories.
There are many troublemakers in the vast territory.
Pirates who want to seize territory.
Without exception, they were defeated by these forces and either escaped or were captured.
Of these prisoners, only a very small number would be killed directly.
After all, people are also an important asset.
Besides, killing people is too easy for them.
Imprisoning and torturing them can cause them greater pain and also deter other pirates.
These captives are the best candidates for mining.
The strength is not weak, but not too strong.
It's not easy to die either.
For those with special abilities, there are seastone handcuffs that can suppress them.
Over the years, especially since the Great Pirate Era, although they did not dare to directly offend these top forces, there were many people who caused trouble within their territory.
Keeping them would be a waste of food, so it would be better to send them to Wano Country.
Just three months after the agreement was signed, seastone mines began to be mined on a large scale.
During this period, nearly three thousand pirates were sent to Wano Country and became mining slaves.
The efficiency of seastone mining directly exceeds that of the period when the Tyrannosaurus Pirates ruled Wano Country.
After all, most of the people mining at the time were civilians, and some were samurai from Wano Country.
No matter how many people mine, it won’t be much more.
The country of Wano itself also needs to be managed.
At that time, the Tyrannosaurus Pirates had already regarded Wano Country as their future kingdom, so it was naturally impossible for them to exhaust the resources.
Now? Of course, you don't need to care about these.
The most indispensable thing on this sea is pirates.
In order to gain more benefits, squeeze the value of Wano Country as much as possible.
Naturally, the more seastone you dig, the better.
They all knew that the Wano Country Alliance would end sooner or later.
Until then, the right thing to do is to gain the greatest benefit possible.
It is called peace, but it is only temporary.
He invited the Feikong Pirates to join and even agreed to let the Feikong Pirates be stationed in Wano Country.
This is to prevent the Tyrannosaurus Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates from causing any more trouble in a short period of time.
If no one suppresses them, a chaotic battle may break out between the Tyrant Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates in less than half a year.
Next, as time goes by, more and more pirates will be sent to Wano Country.
The seastone mined in one year could be sold for 50 billion Beli, but next, it could be sold for 100 billion Beli, or even more.
The seastone that originally fell into the Kingdom of Chronos and the Kingdom of Eternity was more affordable.
Without the Black Charcoal Family, it would be impossible to get cheap seastone ore.
Anyway, we only have a few years, so the more we dig, the better.
It would be best if the seastone mine could be dug out in one go.
These pirates don't care whether the market price of seastone will depreciate due to the large amount of seastone flowing into the sea.
However, it is not so easy to dig out the seastone mine.
The great pirates are not satisfied with the current production of seastone ore.
At today's efficiency, the seastone ore mined in one year can be sold for 200 billion Baileys.
This is still too little for Nash and his team. Not only do they need to mine simple seastone mines more efficiently, but they also need more people to join this great cause.
But one thing is certain.
That is, great wealth and prosperity will befall them.
Billions of Pele in profits every year.
With the flags of several top forces, outsiders cannot interfere at all.
The ones who benefited the most were the Tyrannosaurus Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates.
But Nash and the others don't care.
When war breaks out, most of the Baileys obtained will be consumed.
Besides, sometimes we have too much money and cannot spend it because we don’t know how to spend it.
If a conflict really breaks out, it will inevitably be another brutal war.
The war is not over, it's just a temporary truce.
Both Ba Long and Yin Axe knew it very well.
A long war preparation began.
The two sides have even started building fortifications at the border where their territories are divided, and have deployed personnel to be on high alert to guard against each other.
