The Wano Country Agreement was the first agreement between pirates ever to appear on the seas.
Recognized by numerous top powers, it carried a certain degree of legal authority.
Of course, it was only a verbal agreement, with no formal document.
They were pirates, after all. Sooner or later, the agreement would be torn up.
It might be the Silver Axe Pirates, or it might be the Overlord Dragon Pirates.
Of course, the Overlord Dragon Pirates were more likely to do it.
One was an old man entering the twilight of his career.
The other was a monster at his peak, and perhaps still growing stronger.
Anyone could see that Zack was more likely to be the last man standing.
Besides, with his Mythical Beast Zoan Devil Fruit ability, Zack would remain at his peak for longer.
The agreement served to stabilize Wano Country's Seastone trade and postpone the war between the Overlord Dragon Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates for a few years.
The various powers could also profit from it.
As long as it lasted a few years, that would be enough.
At the very least, none of them would lose out.
Who ultimately won did not really matter.
The two top powers would keep each other in check, slowing their crews' growth.
Newcomers might even catch up to them.
The effects were indeed far-reaching and widespread.
It perfectly balanced the conflict between the Overlord Dragon Pirates and the Silver Axe Pirates.
The conflict remained, but resolving it could wait until later.
Continuing the stalemate would do neither side any good.
In this era, pirate numbers were soaring. One careless moment could allow a new monster to rise rapidly.
And all the powers involved could profit from the arrangement.
Beyond the profits from selling Seastone.
