Carlos received the World Government’s offer to bring the Mafia alliance into the government as a member nation and saw a chance to become King. Both sides prepared to negotiate, leaving Carlos’s proposed kingship dependent on the terms they reached.

• Carlos told his crew that the World Government wanted him to lead the Mafia alliance into the World Government as a nation, giving him the chance to become King and his allies the chance to become nobles and ministers.
• Carlos said he was interested in the offer, and his crew supported him, so he changed the negotiation site from Enies Lobby to Water 7 and told Kelly to notify the World Government.
• The Five Elders learned that Carlos had accepted the invitation in principle and discussed sending negotiators, CP0 elites, and Marine Vice Admirals to Water 7.
• The Five Elders planned to use the alliance to ease financial and political pressure and considered promoting a policy of using pirates to control pirates.

• Morgensen introduced the delegation, and Carlos identified Number Four as a likely CP0 powerhouse.

Carlos ended the negotiations and told Morgensen to report back to the Five Elders, leaving the talks at an impasse.

• Morgensen explained the negotiation rules, and Carlos agreed that disagreements should be settled without violence.
• Morgensen’s team distributed the draft agreement for Carlos and the Divine Eye Pirates to review.

• Carlos rejected Morgensen’s reassurances, accused the World Government of lacking sincerity, and ordered his people to end the meeting.
• Carlos told Morgensen to have the Five Elders reconsider their demands and ordered his crew to see the World Government delegation out.

Carlos negotiated the Celestial Gold payment down to thirty billion Berries, then found clauses granting the Divine Eye Pirates a legal plunder license and allowing the World Government and Marines to summon them. He accepted the license but rejected the summon provision, leaving the negotiations headed for another dispute.

• Carlos refused to continue talks after the World Government’s team proposed an opening payment of one hundred billion Berries.
• Morgensen returned the next day and bargained with Carlos, who held firm at twenty-five billion Berries until Morgensen offered thirty billion.
• Carlos agreed to the thirty-billion-Berry payment and resumed reading the contract with his crew.
• Carlos suspected the legal plunder license was meant to redirect Pirates toward the Divine Eye Pirates and reduce the Marines’ burden, but he decided to accept it.
• Carlos threw down the contract after reading the clause letting the World Government and Marines summon the Divine Eye Pirates, and his crew followed suit.

Carlos rejected the World Government’s proposed agreement and insisted that the Divine Eye Pirates would not be summoned at will. While waiting for the Five Elders’ answer, he teased Momousagi by proposing she become his kingdom’s princess consort, then learned the Five Elders had accepted his conditions.

• Carlos smashed the negotiation table and declared that the Divine Eye Pirates would follow orders but would not answer summons unless a major incident occurred.

• Carlos teased Gion by saying she would suit the role of princess consort in his kingdom, provoking Chaton’s anger.
• Morgensen returned from contacting the Five Elders and told Carlos they had accepted his conditions.

Carlos resumed negotiations with the World Government and proposed conditions involving processed Seastone, improvements to the Mingyue, and six corpses from Infinite Hell. The Navy objected fiercely, but Carlos clarified that he wanted dead prisoners for an experiment with his Devil Fruit ability.

• Carlos resumed negotiations after the shattered table was replaced and the room was cleaned, then said he had two conditions of his own.
