章 50: Chapter 50 The Reluctant King: A Battle for the Angel Potion
Everyone was stunned after hearing the World Government's speech.
They thought it was shameless to ask for the formula for free.
But if they could get it for free, they would be happy to take it.
The World Government made it sound like they were doing it for the good of the people, which made their greed seem more noble.
[Spandam: Damn, Dragon Kingdom is so lucky! They should thank the Lord Five Elders right away!]
[CP8 Chief: Master Five Elders is so selfless and noble! He's really thinking about the greater good!]
[Sterry: Master Five Elders is so wise and great!]
[Wapol: Yeah, Dragon Kingdom, you're a member of the World Government now, so hand over the formula for the Angel Potion already!]
Everyone is getting impatient
[Pirate A: The World Government didn't just take it all for themselves? They actually want to share it with everyone? Wow!]
Some pirates didn't believe the World Government was being kind.
They thought the World Government was behind the chaos of many previous kingdoms.
But then Whitebeard's words woke some people up.
[Whitebeard: The World Government is really good at planning. They know they have the resources and Vegapunk, the world's number one genius scientist, so they think they'll be the biggest beneficiary of the Angel Potion. That's why they're being so generous.]
[Pirate B: I can't believe it! The World Government is so greedy! I thought they cared about people's livelihood, but I was wrong.]
[Pirate C: The temptation of resources is really scary. Even the Five Elders are being shameless.]
[Spandam: How dare you talk like that? The Five Elders are just trying to help people. If other countries can't make the Angel Potion, that's their own fault.]
The 5 Elders smiled and looked up at the sky. Whitebeard was right, the World Government wasn't giving anything for free.
They wanted Dragon Kingdom to join the World Government. If they refused, they would be at the mercy of the World Government anyway.
Kaido, Big Mom, and Ochoku were all silent because they also had something to gain from this.
The World Government had the best scientists, like Dr. Vegapunk, so they would be able to make the Angel Potion better than anyone else.
But Gao Yang's comments made the Five Elders look unhappy.
[Gao Yang: Are you trying to bully me with your moral superiority? Do you need to save your face so badly? Why are you so shameless?]
Gao Yang was so angry that he almost slapped the 5 Elders.
They were trying to take advantage of the Dragon Kingdom and get the Angel Potion for free.
The World Government had a history of harming franchise countries, so there was no difference between joining or not joining.
Many forces were impressed by the Dragon King's boldness in refusing the World Government.
They didn't think he would be so brave, especially since the World Government was so powerful.
The Five Elders were also surprised by the Dragon King's boldness.
They didn't expect him to directly confront them.
He would be seen as selfish if he didn't join the World Government.
They were angry, but they suppressed their anger and sent another comment.
[One of the 5 Elders: Dragon King, why won't you share this potion that can benefit everyone? That's selfish!]
[Gao Yang: I won't share it.]
[Venus: You!]
His answer was so simple and direct, without any royal pretense. It left the 5 Elders speechless.
[Gao Yang: If you wanna talk business, come at me. But if you think our Dragon Kingdom is gonna donate the Angel Potion for free, you're out of your mind. I'm not some hero with high moral character, I'm just an ordinary king. Besides, we spent a lot of manpower, money, and resources to research the Angel Potion. You can't just come in here and ask for it for free. Who do you think you are? Didn't you see us fill up the seastone carts just now?]
[Megumi: Gao Yang-sama is right. The World Government is so shameless. Watch out, or I'll blow up your holy land!]
[ Sengoku: ... cough cough! ]
Marshal Sengoku was embarrassed because what Gao Yang said was true.
But he couldn't say anything because of his position.
[One of the 5 Elders: We're not asking you to give us the formula for free.]
[Gao Yang: Stop it. I'm not in the mood to hear this again.]
[One of the 5 Elders: I hope you'll think twice about this. Handing over the formula would benefit everyone. Otherwise, things might get ugly]
[Gao Yang: Are you threatening me? If you are, then I'll put out a bounty on your head. 10,000 vials of angel potion for whoever can kill you. Even if you're one of the Five Elders, you're still not safe. The Holy Land is big, so it's not impossible for an assassin to sneak in. I'll even give a few bottles of angel potion to the assassin. I'm sure there will be plenty of people who will take up the challenge.]
[Big Mom: Damn it!]
[Kaido: F**k!]
[Loan shark king: Is the king of the Dragon Kingdom crazy?]
[Red hair: The king of the Dragon Kingdom is so tough!]
[Silver Axe: King of the Dragon Kingdom, give me a call. My phone number is...]
[Ochoku: Silver Axe, aren't you terminally ill and waiting to die?]
[One of the 5 Elders: You, you, you're presumptuous!]
The 5 Elders were scared.
There are a lot of crazy people in the world.
If that king really wants to release the formula, then their life will be in danger.
Many people will try to kill him, including the Four Emperors.
Even old pirates from the last era might attack the Holy Land.
[Gao Yang: You were the one who was being presumptuous first. If you want to talk business, then talk honestly. If you don't want to talk, then just leave.]
[Ju Peter: Cough, King of the Dragon Kingdom, you misunderstood. The World Government is still very willing to do business with the Dragon Kingdom. He was just being too considerate of the people, so his request was a bit inappropriate. Please don't take it to heart.]
Ju Peter sent a comment to smooth things over.
Whitebeard, Redhead, Kaido, Big Mom, Sengoku, and Garp were all surprised.
They couldn't believe that the Five Elders, the highest authority in the World Government, would compromise.
