The One-Sided Meeting

Soon.

As a new dawn broke, the Gaia Conference began.

Over the past few days, the kingdoms, clan leaders, princes, ministers, and pirates had all learned what heaven was: a world of luxury and indulgence.

Everything Gold City had to offer was beyond their wildest imagination.

Especially for those visiting Gold City for the first time, every moment brought shock after shock after shock!!!

The Gaia Conference Hall.

Located east of the Betty Hotel, it was a huge venue shaped like a peony.

It could easily accommodate more than eighty thousand people, and could be expanded further if desired. It would take Chaos only a thought.

Nine in the morning.

One after another, representatives from the various kingdoms and clans arrived with their princes, ministers, family members, and subordinates. Guided by Golden Warrior Homies, they found their assigned sections.

Doflamingo and Hancock also took their seats with their respective entourages.

There were also nearly nineteen thousand group managers, venue owners, shop owners, department heads, and other minor officials.

Of course~

The Richest Group hadn't barred everyone else from attending the conference. Some people with no direct involvement were allowed to observe.

Among them were Mysterious Woman, Butterfly Eve, Thorn Man Deale, Sabo, and Veiled Night Jade.

There were also other wealthy nobles visiting Gold City, including Gion and the other Marines.

So the conference hall, with its capacity of eighty thousand, soon filled up. Many people were even still trying to get in.

Besides them, there were plenty of reporters.

For instance, Morgans's people and spies from various factions.

Put simply,

given the Richest Group's current power and influence, there was no need to keep a meeting like this under wraps. On the contrary, they were happy to let the world watch. So this conference was never going to end
