The Five Elders were holding a meeting in Pongel Castle, so they naturally had no idea what was happening outside.

Claudius had a rough idea in his mind. As long as the meeting was held as usual, it meant that Spandine and his men were doing things smoothly. Otherwise, someone would have come to complain long ago.

“The demise of the Whitebeard Pirates symbolizes the beginning of our World Government’s cleanup operation in the New World. The Great Pirate Era has begun for eighteen years, and all countries have suffered greatly. But all of this will gradually calm down. Our World Government has the confidence and determination to win this protracted war!” The bald guy sat in his seat and said in a very passionate tone.

After he finished speaking, everyone started to applaud.

But soon, a king spoke up: “Pirates are only a minor problem after all, so what should we do with the revolutionary army? After so many years, the revolutionary army has not only not been eliminated, but has also grown stronger…”

As he spoke, many royal families from the member states nodded and started discussing.

“Although we also understand that in order to pacify the Great Pirate Era and wipe out the Revolutionary Army, we need to continuously expand our armed forces, but the problem is that the economic conditions of our countries are not very good. I wonder if we can reduce taxes this year?”

“Can the construction of the sea train be accelerated? We are all members of the alliance, we can’t favor one over another!”

“The nearest naval base to our Stellan Kingdom is three days’ voyage from the mainland. The pirates took advantage of this loophole and brought us a lot of inconvenience. I suggest that the navy build a new naval branch in our Stellan Kingdom!”

The royal families of various countries began to discuss these matters.

The faces of the Five Elder Stars also became a little impatient.

Just then, someone suddenly brought up the issue of gold in the sky.

“According to my statistics, since the last World Conference, which was four years ago, seven member states have been expelled from the member state sequence because they were unable to pay the Heavenly Gold. After that, four of the kingdoms were successively destroyed by pirates in the past four years. The other three kingdoms basically did not have any good development. Some were forced to hang up the flag of the great pirates, and some were just struggling to survive. In the past four years, including today’s Amazon Lily, there are only three new member states. In total, there were originally 177 member states, but now there are only 173 member states left under the World Government. In the long run, this seems to have a great impact on the ruling power of our World Government, right?!” Doflamingo, this guy, holding a document in his hand, suddenly spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally noisy conference hall fell silent, and many people looked at him with surprised eyes.

The last country that mentioned the issue of Heavenly Gold was Alabasta, but look at what Alabasta has become now? The Nefertari royal family has completely disappeared, and Crocodile has become the king of Alabasta. With this precedent in front of us, how dare you bring up the issue of Heavenly Gold again?

After hearing this, the bearded Five Elders’ expression became a little gloomy, and he said, “Doflamingo, what do you want to say?”

Doflamingo put the documents in his hand on the table, an evil smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, “Fufufufufufufu, it’s nothing. I am just the king of Dressrosa and a member of the royal family of the member states of the World Government. I am representing Dressrosa to help the World Government solve its problems. The burden of the sky gold has made it difficult for all countries to breathe. Dressrosa is fine and business is booming, but not all member states can afford the money like me, right? I’m afraid that the next time there is a meeting, a few familiar faces will disappear here again?”

Doflamingo said as he spoke to the rest of the royal family in the conference room.

Some royal families are indeed in a bad mood. With their level, there is no way to ease the domestic economic pressure. In the next five to ten years, they may have to pay the sky-high gold and be dismissed from their seats in the country. If there is any change, the time may be even shorter. By then, it is impossible for the country to be destroyed and the people to die.

“Just keep your Dressro under control. Heavenly Gold represents the legality of the World Government. Eight hundred years ago, twenty kings gave up their secular power and established the World Government. Their descendants are the descendants of the gods who created the world. The existence of the Celestial Dragons deserves the offerings of Heavenly Gold. This is the obligation of all countries under the World Government!” The bearded man said in a deep voice.

“In other words, the proposal to reduce the Heavenly Gold Offering is against the legality of the World Government, right? Such a proposal will not be passed?” Doflamingo asked again.

The bearded man first glanced at the silent Claudius, feeling a little uneasy, but he quickly spoke up: “Yes, this system has lasted for eight hundred years and has never changed. It will not change now, and it will not change in the future!”

“But sir…times have changed!” Doflamingo said with a smile.

“What do you mean?” the bearded man asked in a deep voice.

“If we can’t reduce the amount of Tian Shang Jin, I agree that it is a representative of legal rationality. Then, I suggest that we fundamentally solve this problem that has troubled us for many years from another angle.” Doflamingo said with a smile.

Without waiting for the Five Elders to speak, Doflamingo said in a cold voice: “The Celestial Gold is offered to the Celestial Dragons. So, if we can’t reduce the Celestial Gold, why not reduce the number of Celestial Dragons? In this way, the demand for Celestial Gold will naturally decrease, and the pressure on our countries will be relieved a lot. Anyway, those wastes are useless, why keep them? For the New Year?”

When Doflamingo said this, the entire venue was stunned. Damn, is it really okay for you to be so arrogant?

“How dare you!!!” The bald man slammed his hand on the table and glared at Doflamingo, “Doflamingo, do you know what you are talking about? Do you think you can talk nonsense about the affairs of the Celestial Dragons?”

“Fufufufufufu, this kind of thing has happened before. Look, am I not one of them? I left Marijoa back then, and I’m still alive and well now… As a former Celestial Dragon, as a senior who left Marijoa, there’s nothing wrong with me giving some advice to those ‘juniors’, right?” Doflamingo said nonchalantly.

“What?”

“Doflamingo is a Celestial Dragon?”

“No wonder he has the same surname as that prince, Don Quixote. So they are from the same family?”

“I thought Don Quixote was a surname given by Saint Claudius, but I didn’t expect… that was actually his real surname?”

“The fall of a celestial dragon? Why haven’t I heard of such a thing before?”

“Nonsense, how could you know such a big thing?”

At this moment, Claudius reached out and knocked on the table, making two crisp knocks.

After hearing this voice, the people in the venue also fell silent.

“Doflamingo, be careful with your words.” Claudius said softly.

Doflamingo also said politely, “I’m sorry, cousin. I was too careless.”

When the five elders heard Claudius speak, they calmed down a little and said, “Claudius, take care of your subordinates. This time, for your sake, we will not pursue the matter. If it happens again, you will be punished as well!”

Claudius raised the corner of his mouth slightly, nodded to the Five Elders, and said, “Please rest assured, the five adults.”

The Five Elders were about to nod, but Claudius changed the subject and said, “But I think what Dover said is somewhat interesting, isn’t it?”

The bald king frowned slightly, a little confused, not quite understanding what Claudius meant.

After all, Claudius is also a Celestial Dragon, so he has no right to oppose his own power at a time like this, right?

Before he could think about it, Claudius spoke very quickly: “The World Government is the government of all countries in the world. While enjoying the power from all countries, it should fulfill its obligations to protect all countries in the world and create a brighter and better future for all countries. The Heavenly Gold is indeed a heavy burden for exploiting and oppressing all countries. Therefore, I, Don Quixote Claudius, in the name of the Supreme Celestial Dragon, solemnly propose at this World Conference… to reduce the annual Heavenly Gold tribute of the 173 existing member countries under the World Government!”

Claudius’ words were powerful and compared to Doflamingo’s, his words carried more weight. When his words fell, all the one hundred kings took a deep breath!

The world has changed?!
