What should he do? Fight or not?
Qing Zhi hesitated, his eyes filled with struggle!
There was once a moment when Qing Zhi wanted to give it a try with his full strength!
But in the next instant, Qing Zhi immediately calmed down!
Why was he calm? This was because Qing Zhi did not have full confidence in snatching the red dog back. After all, Ace's strength was there for all to see!
Although the red dog was injured, how could someone who could still knock the red dog unconscious be weak?!
Qing Zhi knew that if Ace really abandoned Marko and left with the red dog, he would not be able to stop him at all!
If he acted rashly, the negotiations would immediately collapse, and there would be no possibility of peace.
He could not bear the consequences of the collapse!!!
'How troublesome…' Qing Zhi sighed in his heart.
At this moment, he felt very passive. He did not like this feeling of being passive.
In the negotiation, he was already at a disadvantage.
Watching the change in Qing Zhi's expression coldly, Ace did not say a word and remained calm.
Qing Zhi was right. If Ace really did not care about Marko and wanted to kidnap the red dog and throw it into the sea to drown him, Qing Zhi would not be able to stop him.
Qing Zhi could only stop Ace from rescuing Marko. He could only ensure that Marko was firmly in his hands.
Qing Zhi could not sit on anything else!
However, Qing Zhi had overlooked the crux of the problem. His mind was filled with how to get the red dog back, so he had made a huge mistake!
Qing Zhi believed Ace's words and underestimated Marko's importance in Ace's heart!
Why didn't he think about it? If Marko hadn't been caught by him, why would Ace waste his time here with him?!
If that was the case, Ace would have left with Marko and killed the red hound!
For Marko, Ace had no choice but to stay behind to negotiate with Qing Zhi!
For this reason, Ace would rather choose to temporarily spare the red hound's dog life.
Because the red dog could be killed at any time.
But if his brother was gone, then he was really gone!
That was a brother who was willing to sacrifice his life for Ace. How could Ace abandon him?!
If Qing Zhi was aware of this, Qing Zhi's negotiation would not have been so passive.
As the saying goes, haste breeds chaos. It was nothing more than this. Even a calm and wise person like Qing Zhi would inevitably make such a mistake. This was human nature.
Perhaps Qing Zhi would react in the future, but now, he had already fallen into a dead end!
"Tell me, what will it take for you to be willing to hand over the red dog to me?”
"State your conditions."
In the end, Qing Zhi said these words in an extremely helpless manner.
Qing Zhi had a resigned look on his face. He had no choice. He could not let the navy lose so much face. The navy's reputation was above everything else.
Qing Zhi's words were extremely direct and did not beat around the bush at all.
Ace smiled.
He liked to negotiate with smart people.
His "scaremongering" had a great effect.
"First, leave Marko to me. Although I'm not very familiar with him, it's still good to have a powerful subordinate.”
"Second, the navy will stop the encirclement and suppression of the original Whitebeard Pirates and turn to the Blackbeard Pirates.”
" Third, regardless of whether your navy takes it or not, you must give me fifty islands in the New World. The islands must not be too far apart.”
"Fourth, you, Admiral Cousin, promise me one thing.”
"If you agree to these four points, I'll immediately make a deal with you.”
Ace narrowed his eyes. He looked very much like the profiteer.
As Ace spoke, Qing Zhi's expression would turn uglier with each condition he stated.
The first condition was the most basic, so Qing Zhi did not have any objections.
But from the second one onwards, Qing Zhi began to challenge the limits of his ugly expression.
Qing Zhi really wanted to strangle Ace to death!
"I can agree to the first and second conditions, but isn't the third condition a little too much?？”
"Fifty islands? Why don't you go rob them? You really live up to your name as a pirate!!!”
Qing Zhi's veins were throbbing as he suppressed his anger and growled, gritting his teeth so hard that they made a creaking sound!
What did 50 islands represent? One island could be considered a small country, and fifty islands were equivalent to fifty countries!!!
This number was indeed a little terrifying. It was also difficult for Qing Zhi to be so excited.
However, compared to Qing Zhi's excitement, Ace was much calmer.
Ace licked his lips and said indifferently,"
I'm stealing your navy's…"
"I am a pirate…"
"Why? Can't I?"
To be honest, Ace really wouldn't stop until he angered people to death.
There was no need to pay with one's life for infuriating someone to death. Right now, Qing Zhi was really about to be angered to death by Ace.
"You…you bastard!"
Qing Zhi was so angry that he stuttered. In the end, he was speechless and could only curse out loud!
It was rare for such emotions to appear on him. Even such a calm person had been forced to such a state by Ace…
However, thinking about it carefully, what Ace said was indeed true.
He was a pirate.
He was snatching.
He was brazenly robbing the navy!!!
