El spoke up to stop him.
He now had the idea of continuing negotiations with the World Government about cooperation.
Naturally, he couldn't let Whitebeard and the others kill those people.
"Gu la la la... Sorry, El, I just slightly disturbed your kingdom," Whitebeard laughed as he scratched his head.
"Well, remember to compensate me later, Edward," El said calmly.
"You, this guy, really make it difficult for me. Where do I get the money?" Whitebeard spread his hands with a carefree expression.
Although Whitebeard had accumulated countless wealth during the Rocks Pirates era, most of his money he had donated to his hometown.
And the remaining funds, he used to build the Moby Dick.
Now, Whitebeard truly had very little wealth.
"Then let's settle it later," El said as he approached the members of the CP0 organization.
It could be seen that originally, several members of the CP0 organization had come to this country.
But now, only the leading CP0 member was still alive; the rest had been directly killed by Whitebeard and others.
"If I negotiate cooperation with your World Government, how many Devil Fruits can I get?" El asked.
"Before asking that, you... you first let them stop," the CP0 member lying on the ground, weakly said.
At this moment, he was being beaten by many members of Whitebeard's crew, bloodied and on the verge of death.
"Alright, you guys, stop destroying my country," El said to stop them.
Hearing El's words, the enraged Whitebeard crew members dispersed.
"Now, let's continue with the previous question—answer me."
"Our World Government has enough funds to pay you for the Devil Fruits, so the number of Devil Fruits is quite substantial!"
In just one encounter, the World Government directly gave El ten Devil Fruits.
This fully demonstrated how terrifying the financial power of the World Government truly is!
"So, what does the cooperation involve?" El asked.
"The details of the cooperation were proposed by the Five Elders; I don't know the specifics," they replied.
They were merely following the orders of the Five Elders to come here and invite El to discuss business.
As for the exact content of the deal, they truly didn't know.
However, if given another chance, he would absolutely refuse to carry out this order.
After all, he was nearly beaten to death!
"Then bring me the Den Den Mushi of the Five Elders," El said indifferently.
Although he didn't know the purpose of the Five Elders wanting to talk business with him, and he wasn't interested in the so-called deal, he was very interested in Devil Fruits.
Just one encounter with the World Government had already given him ten Devil Fruits.
If he completed the deal with the World Government, wouldn't he get even more?
"The Den Den Mushi might be wiretapped. I... need to invite you to Mary Geoise to speak with the Five Elders in person," Whitebeard said coldly before El could speak.
"Have you really exposed your purpose?" Whitebeard asked with a cold tone.
What kind of place is Mary Geoise? That's the headquarters of the World Government.
It's filled with powerful people, and there are monsters like the Five Elders!
Whitebeard knew very well how strong the Five Elders were.
Back in the days before the dissolution of the Rocks Pirates, they had been ordered to go to Mary Geoise to retrieve the Poneglyphs of the Valley of the Gods.
During that mission, they encountered a Five Elder.
At that time, Whitebeard, Shiki, Charlotte Linlin, and Kaido teamed up to fight one of the Five Elders.
They only managed to gain a slight advantage!!!
The strength of a single Five Elder is so formidable.
In the case of five working together, it's unimaginable.
In Whitebeard's view, sending El to Mary Geoise was a trap set by the Five Elders.
If El truly believed the words of the CP0 members in front of him and went to Mary Geoise, then what awaited him... was very likely death!
"No... don't overthink it. We just want to do business with Mr. El," the CP0 member spat blood and struggled to stand.
Damn, he was almost beaten to death.
Right now, he really wanted to complain.
Why did El refuse to cooperate at the beginning, but only proposed cooperation when he was about to be beaten half to death?
But he definitely wouldn't dare to say this out loud, because it could cost him his life!
"Do you really believe what you just said?" Whitebeard snorted coldly.
He absolutely did not believe the words of the CP0 member.
But El, at this moment, calmly replied: "Take me there."
Mary Geoise, although extremely dangerous, El was still fearless.
Because now, El's Sage Eyes had reached the mid-stage.
He had obtained Divine Thunder, Ten Thousand Phenomena Attraction, Wood Release, Sage Mode, and the most powerful, greatly boosting abilities—several times over!
With these things, El didn't say he could defeat the Five Elders, but he believed he could escape from them.
With his many trump cards and these powers, El was confident he could walk through Mary Geoise unscathed!!!
Moreover, El had an extremely powerful trump card: the power of the Ten-Tails!
Although, currently, El's Sage Eyes are only at mid-stage.
He cannot fully control the power of the Ten-Tails, and there's even a risk of backlash and going into berserk mode.
But... controlling the Ten-Tails for a short period, El still can do.
With these powers and his trump card, El could absolutely walk through Mary Geoise smoothly!!!
Hearing El's words, Whitebeard looked confused and somewhat worried, asking: "El, are you really going to trust that guy and go to Mary Geoise?"
"Don't worry, it's no problem. Even if I encounter danger, I have the ability to come back alive," El said lightly.
"Wise choice, El. Collaborating with our World Government is definitely the smartest decision you've made in your life," the CP0 member said.
"Stop with the nonsense, just take me there," El said plainly.
Although El and his henchmen in this country currently could sometimes get Devil Fruits by completing delegation tasks, but... you must know, El and this group of henchmen had spent a long time just to get these Devil Fruits.
El didn't have much patience for collecting them one by one.
If he could directly get more, even with some risks, he wouldn't mind.
After all, he had many trump cards, and he wasn't afraid of the World Government.
"Since that's the case, I'll go with you, El," Whitebeard said after a moment of silence.
"Huh?"
Hearing Whitebeard's words, El was slightly stunned.
He looked at Whitebeard in surprise for several seconds, then spoke: "This is my own matter, Edward. You don't need to come with me."
"Gu la la la... I'll just see this as compensation for damaging your country," Whitebeard said with a smile.
Although he said that, Whitebeard was actually a bit worried about El.
