One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 318: The Founding of the Country

Even outside the eyes of reporters, the country of Wano also showed some "new" scenes.

The General's Mansion in the Capital of Flowers.

This was the first general meeting held since the overthrow of the rule of Black Carbon Orochi and Kaido.

Black Carbon Orochi rarely held general meetings. The biggest thing he did after becoming a general was eating, drinking and having fun. Even Sukiyaki rarely holds such meetings. After all, the Wano General's rule focuses on ruling by doing whatever he wants.

But now, the Kozuki clan has retaken the country of Wano, and a new general has just taken office. What policies Wano will adopt in the future must be decided through the general meeting.

Hiyori Kozuki sat in the original position of Black Carbon Orochi. Now she is the acting general of Wano Country and the nominal leader of Wano Country. It was the first time to be a general in front of so many people. Even if he was not a powerful general like Sukiyaki and Orochi, it was still a bit high for a girl under ten years old.

Fortunately, Hiyori's upbringing was very good. She seemed a little nervous, but her manners were quite decent.

Also participating in this meeting were: Kozuki Sukiyaki who still wears a mask, Kawamatsu, Denjiro, Ashura Doji and others among the Nine Red Scabbard Heroes, Shigetsuki Yasuie who has become the Daimyo of Hakumai again, A-nin , Leopard Goro, and other representatives of the power of Wano - nobles, wealthy businessmen and samurai from various places.

Of course, as the most important allies of the Kozuki clan at the moment, Profic and others naturally participated in this meeting in Wano.

"The founding of the country was my father's wish during his lifetime. Since I temporarily serve as the general of Wano, I naturally hope to inherit my father's ambition..."

The first topic that Kozuki Hiwa raised was "founding the country."

The current situation in the country of Wano is quite delicate, although Hiyori has become an acting general. But this position was actually the result of Profik's proposal, the endorsement of the two legendary pirates Whitebeard and Rayleigh, and the support of the retainers of Shigetsuki Yasuie and Kozuki Oden with force.

There are many people in Wano who do not agree with Hiyori being a general. For example, those warriors who are loyal to Orochi - although there are few such people, they are by no means non-existent. Or those who firmly oppose Profic's ideas may become hidden dangers within the country of Wano.

Some people even firmly opposed Hiyori as a general just because she was a woman.

However, Whitebeard was seriously injured in the battle with Kaido. The entire pirate group was unable and had no intention of staying in Wano Country for a long time. They left Wano Country almost as soon as the war ended. Rayleigh, because of his sensitive identity, could not stay in Wano Country for a long time in a place that is closely related to history. He had already left Wano Country two days ago and returned to the Chambord Islands to work as a coater "Lao Lei".

Now the only forces that Hiyori can rely on are the "foreign faction" represented by Profik and the "local faction" with Oden retainers as the core. It is easy for people to feel that they are strong on the outside and incompetent on the inside. There are even conflicts between these two factions. nativist

For example, Hiyori's grandfather and the former general of Wano Country, Mitsuki Sukiyaki. Although he himself has never disclosed his identity due to shame, he always wears a Tengu mask when he appears in front of the people. But in his heart, he had always wanted to return Wano Country to its previous governance model. Hiyori would be the powerful general first, and then pass this position to Momonosuke when Momonosuke returned.

If we can find a good time to drive out Profik and the others, the Guangyue clan will be able to survive forever.

Hiyori raising the issue of founding the country at this time is tantamount to declaring to the entire country of Wano that she, Hiyori Kozuki, is the representative of the Kozuki family and the orthodox heir of the general of Wano. Her role as general of Wano has unquestionable legitimacy.

At the same time, it also has the meaning of testing the dawn. Since you said you want to transform Wano, and many of your plans for transforming Wano are related to overseas, then we will propose a plan for founding the country. See if you agree.

If you don't agree, then what's the difference between you and Kaido and Orochi? The local faction has reason to guide public opinion and attack Daybreak.

On the other hand, if it is agreed and this matter is proposed by Hiyori, the general of Wano, then the local faction can continue to try to gain more power in the process. Maybe, gradually, Hiyori Kozuki will be able to become a powerful general.

Hiyori naturally couldn't come up with such a clever plan, and this move was made by Denjiro, Kozuki Oden's most loyal and intelligent retainer. Of course, he didn't tell Hiyori all these things, he just told her that inheriting Oden's last wish was a good way to stabilize Wano Country.

Profik's eyes swept over the faces of the participants one by one. In just a moment, he knew that Denjiro was the proposer of this plan, and he even knew exactly what he had planned. He was not surprised at all that Kozuki Oden's retainers could do such a thing.

However, he could not let Denjiro succeed, he wanted to oppose the founding of the country.

"General Hiyori, I oppose the founding of the country." Profik said looking at Hiyori beside him. His seat is just to the side of Hiyori's seat, which also means that his status is equivalent to Hiyori, the general. This is a serious challenge to Wano's traditional views.

This is thanks to Kaido and Orochi. These two guys created the power model of "General" + "King Protector", and Kaido's status is even higher than that of Orochi. If it weren't for these two people, it would have been difficult for Profik to do this.

Hiyori was confused, she turned her attention to Denjiro - this is different from what you said! Doesn’t it mean that this move can stabilize the country of Wan, and is it also in line with Mr. Profic’s views? Why did Mr. Profik come out to oppose it all of a sudden?

“The natural dangers on the outer seas of Wano are not only an obstacle to the exchanges between Wano and overseas, but also the key to the existence of Wano.

Since you are all from Wano, I will get straight to the point. The country of Wano once stood on the opposite side of the World Government during the blank 100 years, and also played an extremely key role. Those hard stone tablets that are now called the "historical text" were made by craftsmen from Wano Country back then.

Overseas, studying historical texts is the biggest taboo of the world government, and anyone who attempts to study historical texts is considered a crime and killed. And the country of Wano is the place where the historical text was produced, and it also knows how to interpret it. The world government will not let you go.

In addition, Wano Country also has many rare mineral resources. For example, sea floor stone and wine iron ore. These rich products are also coveted by world governments. If coupled with the industrial system established by Kaido in this country, the world government's desire for the country of Wano is estimated to be inevitable.

A large part of the reason why the country of Wano can exist peacefully is that four hundred years ago, Ryoma Shigetsuki killed the army that invaded the country of Wano with one sword. This made the world government deeply realize that as long as there are top strong men sitting in charge, they can forcefully attack the country of Wano. country is basically impossible. Since then, the World Government has not openly expressed any interest in Wano for hundreds of years.

Since entering the Great Pirate Age, Kaido has occupied Wano Country. This is of course a huge disaster for Wano. But you have also seen Kaido's combat power. Having a guy like this at his command has helped Wano Country block many covetous forces from overseas to some extent. There are at least two other strong men like Kaido and Whitebeard among the pirates, and there are even more from the World Government. If such a guy comes to attack, Wano Country may not be able to resist. "

The warriors of Wano Country lowered their heads. As proud warriors, they would never admit that Kaido played a role in protecting Wano Country. But when they thought of the devastating power of Whitebeard, Rayleigh, and Kaido during the battle, the samurai lowered their heads. If a strong man like Whitebeard really came to invade Wano Country, would they really have the courage to resist?

"Nowadays, the only power that Wano Country can rely on, apart from you, is Daybreak. Our strength is good, but it is not comparable to Kaido... If we want to protect Wano Country, even if we add the 'King Shichibukai' The name is not enough." Profik also did not shy away from saying, "Therefore, we must be extremely careful when it comes to founding a country. My personal opinion is that the country of Wano must not be founded before it has strong enough military support."

In fact, there is another force that can be relied on-the revolutionary army. The revolutionary army also has a top-level combat force like Long and a good player like Daxiong. But the problem is that blatant alliance with the revolutionary army is equivalent to completely breaking up with the World Government, and what will be ushered in will be an offensive from the World Government that far exceeds the level of the Demon-Slaying Order. With the current strength of the revolutionary army, it is completely unable to compete head-on with the World Government.

"Then, how can the plan you mentioned be completed without 'founding the country'?" Hiyori was a little worried. She knew the outer seas of Wano. If the outer sea barrier of Wano was retained, even if the policy of locking the country was changed. , and it is also difficult to communicate effectively with overseas countries.

"Don't worry," Profik said confidently, "I will personally go overseas to solve this problem. Your Highness, Hiyori, there is more than just founding the country to enter the country of Wano."

Profik said he had a solution, and he had several options. The first is Master Tom's sea train, and then the flying technology of the sky island, or the fishman can try to control the direction of the water flow. Of course, it’s not certain whether these things will work, and even if they can actually be built, we don’t know until the Year of the Monkey. The most reliable thing is the Big Bear's ability, whether it's a waterfall or an undercurrent, he can directly shoot supplies from the sky into Wano Country. It is so simple, crude and unreasonable, but it is the most reliable and practical way.

As for how to ensure that Big Bear is willing to help, Profic is not worried.

The revolutionary army now needs money but no money, no one for men, no supplies for supplies. Some of the overseas supplies purchased from Wano Country were secretly distributed to the revolutionary army, and then the minerals mined from Wano Country were used as rewards. There was no need to worry about Big Bear not agreeing.

What's more, the Revolutionary Army and Profik are allies to a certain extent, so it's not a big problem to ask Long to help.

The originally planned issue of the founding of the country was muddied by Profik, and Hiyori seemed a little bit shocked. She actually wanted to stick to her own point of view, but after all, she was young and did not have deep opinions, and she really felt that Profik What Fick said was very reasonable, but he had to give it up temporarily.
