"You said that Whitebeard would come to avenge Oden, and by then Wano Country would still be under our rule, and the people would return to their original lives."
Noah looked at Kozuki Sukiyaki with strange eyes.
“Do you know the red line for farming?”
Even if everything gets back on track, your land is gone. It takes time for polluted land to recover to the point where it can be cultivated.
You have a small peasant economy to begin with, and your production structure has been destroyed. How can you provide people with food?
Now the only thing they can survive on is the food scraps produced by Kaido's farm in Oden Castle. But people are dying of starvation every day in this country.
After you restore your original rule, can you just ignore those people who are starving to death?
After you put all the food out, it will only allow people to live a short and happy life, and soon you will have nothing to eat.
People will still starve to death by then. The pirates can't help you. They can defeat Kaido, but they can't save the lives of the people.
Or you can let those people outside hold on for a few more years to see whether the land has strong self-recovery ability.
At most, more people will die in the first year, and fewer people will die in subsequent years because the population will naturally adjust according to the living environment.
The current population of Wano Country is definitely much less than it was 10 years ago. The same is true for the birth rate of newborns.
I admire a king in the outer sea very much. He is the king of Alabasta, a country almost as old as Wano Country. His name is Nefertari Cobra.
He once said that the country is the people. He did not say that the country is Nefertari.
This is Nioh. Ask yourself whether you have such awareness in the past and now.
These words were like sharp swords, piercing Mitsuki Sukiyaki's heart one by one.
……
"Let me think about it."
After saying that, he put on the Daitengu mask, walked out, and looked at the villagers nearby.
Everyone is pale and thin, children have lost their vitality, and this country is slowly withering.
Sitting on the tree, he looked at the moonlight, thought about those outrageous words, and decided to learn more about it.
Maybe it's not that bad.
the next day.
“What is the red line for farming and what is small-scale peasant economy?”
Thanks to Kaido's Fist of Judgment, these high and mighty classes have a certain degree of empathy.
He opened another space door, took out a few books and placed them in front of Kozuki Sukiyaki.
He had long thought about the things he needed to learn about the transformation of the old classes in Wano Country, so he specially selected a number of books that were in line with the national conditions of Wano Country, and is now using them.
"Come on, students, open the book 'Small Peasant Economy under Feudal Landownership'. Let's talk about this book first."
Sukiyaki never thought that he would have the opportunity to start studying again when he was older.
"The small peasant economy can also be said to be a natural economy. Its characteristics are, first, dispersion, and second, the products produced are all or most of them are used for their own consumption, rather than for commodity exchange. It is a self-sufficient natural economy. Next, I will analyze it for you..."
While Noah was giving Kozuki Sukiyaki lessons, Jinbei came outside to experience the problem of water pollution.
When it comes to the way of water, he can be said to be the best master in Fishman Island.
I came to the creek, slowly put my fat hand into the water, and felt it quietly.
As expected, the pollution was serious. Humans could not handle such river water. Even if he used the fish-man karate to separate the water, it would be a drop in the bucket. He also had to destroy the factory upstream as soon as possible.
He withdrew his hand and went to look at the animals in the woods again. Each and every one of them looked abnormal. It was as if they were forced to evolve by the toxins.
This country is really difficult to deal with. I hope Noah can come up with a good solution.
While Noah was giving Kozuki Sukiyaki lessons, Robin and Ryu also came to the Flower Capital.
The local customs and culture that are unique to Wano Country come to life before your eyes.
"The people here...are doing OK."
Looking at the people coming and going, they are all dressed in decent clothes and look OK. It seems that the world is peaceful and the times are good.
This is a huge difference from the civilians they have seen along the way. It is simply hell on earth.
"No matter how difficult the times are, there will always be someone who lives better, no matter what means are used."
"Well, let's go find the Oiran, the most beautiful girl in Wano Country. She's quite interesting."
Seeing that Robin was so curious about the most beautiful woman in Wano Country, Long felt helpless.
Chapter 292: Robin strikes! Restoring the country and beating the swordsman.
"Look, she's okay, a cute little sister. What do you think, Long?"
Long said he didn't want to talk and even felt tired.
I still can’t go on missions with her in the future. I remember when we first met, she was still an insecure little girl.
The growth and changes in the past few years are really unexpected. How come he has become a little sinister?
At this time, both of them changed into luxurious Wano Country clothes and listened to Kozuki playing the shamisen in the audience.
As for the clothes and money, they came from the generous sponsorship of a wealthy businessman.
With Robin's method, he easily let go of the other party's defenses, basically looting the other party and throwing him outside in a dilapidated town.
He was just a businessman who rose to power by adding big snakes. Now that he is gone, he is gone.
No one cares. People with no money are often kicked out.
"But it's still a little immature, and has a good temperament."
Long didn't say anything, so it's up to you. After the performance, Robin will have to deal with Xiao Zi.
Robin and Long could not appreciate the Shamisen musical instrument of Wano Country. They could only look at the other people in the audience who were intoxicated and pretend to join them.
Finally, Xiao Zi's performance ended. The people below cheered, and Robin and Long hurriedly followed.
It's too difficult, they might prefer more popular music like Binx's Wine.
Hiyori Kozuki on the stage had already noticed Robin and Ryu mixed in the crowd.
The temperaments of these two people are somewhat different from those around them. Even though they are wearing Japanese-style clothes, their spirits are so high that it cannot be concealed.
"Could it be Kaido's men?"
Hiyori left the stage right after her performance, not caring about the people in the audience begging for another song. Her personality is just aloof.
Only this kind of personality is effective when defrauding rich businessmen. If you show them a slightly better attitude, they will always feel that they are different.
After entering the inner room and taking a break, a waiter came over.
"Miss Xiao Zi, two wealthy businessmen from Baiwu have offered a large sum of money and want to meet you."
As he spoke, he stretched out a hand, showed three fingers, and turned it over several times.
This amount! It's too generous. He would spend all his money to come and see her. Xiao Zi was a little worried, so she whispered to the waiter.
"Go and ask Lord Kyoshiro to come here."
This unexpected windfall made her instinctively feel a little uneasy.
Sure enough, it was the two weirdos who were in the audience before.
"dragon."
He looked at Robin helplessly. Although he was the leader of the Revolutionary Army, he was helpless towards Robin.
A domineering color was released, and all the waiters around fell down. Xiao Zi exclaimed, is this a witchcraft?
"Why do you have to use Conqueror's Haki? Wouldn't your fruit ability be more useful?"
"I saw that Noah always liked to start with Domination Haki, and I thought you guys all liked to do that."
...He is a nemesis of the World Government, a terrifying figure with a bounty of 50 billion berries. It is incredible that he can be ordered around so casually.
At this moment, Robin just remembered that there was a beautiful girl opposite who seemed to be frightened.
"Ah, sorry, Miss Xiao Zi, please don't worry, we... are not good people."
Shocked! Xiao Zi didn't understand why such a bad woman came to see her.
At this time, Kozuki Rihe had not been undercover for long, so he was not as calm as he would be later.
She still had some ways to deal with men, but women...
"Ala, Ala, you are wrong. We are not bad people."
Robin, who was holding his fan and chuckling, really didn't seem like a good person.
Did you feel depressed for too long on the Resurrection Island? Apart from playing pranks on students, the rest of the time is too boring, so you can have fun when you go out to sea.
"I am sorry for my impoliteness. This is the first time I meet two distinguished guests in the Flower Capital."
Xiao Zi tried hard not to show any fear.
"It's not your fault. This is indeed our first time here. The rich businessman we robbed before only had this much money, so don't think it's too little."
Bandit! Could he be the Ashura boy?
"Cough cough."
Long couldn't stand it anymore. Robin could do things like bullying little girls later, so let's talk about business.
Robin had no choice but to give up some of his subsequent interesting ideas and sit upright.
The sudden solemn atmosphere made Xiao Zi a little nervous. Is this going to...
"Your Highness Kozuki Hiyori, we are going to take over Wano Country."
There was a moment of silence, then Xiao Zi covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Who is Kozuki Hiyori? Also, the current general of Wano Country is Lord Kurozumi Orochi. Aren't you afraid of being blamed by the Lord for saying this?"
In fact, Xiao Zi was already sweating coldly, and her heart beat faster. Did these two weirdos who came out of nowhere really know or were they here to test her?
At this time, Long looked to the right, and a few seconds later, a figure broke through the wall.
The flying wood chips and smoke blocked everyone's view. When the smoke cleared, the man had already stood in front of Xiao Zi with a knife.
The latecomer was wearing a dark blue kimono, a high-necked cape, and had light blue hair with a huge bun on top. He was none other than the number one master under Kurozumi Orochi, Sleepy Kyoushiro.
"How dare you commit a crime in the Flower City!"
Kyoshiro felt a surge of fear in his heart. If he had not been paying close attention to the whereabouts of Her Royal Highness the Princess, he would not have known that someone had invaded.
As I ran along, all the waiters and guards around me fainted. Although they were still alive, I had no time to check their specific situation. I just hoped that I could catch up.
If Lord Oden's daughter is harmed, he will be blamed for it.
Fortunately, nothing happened when we arrived. Then, he burst out with extreme anger and murderous intent.
He drew the sword from its sheath, and flowing cherry blossoms swirled on the sword. His murderous intent had already locked onto the two people in front of him. As long as Xiao Zi behind him could retreat, he could fight with all his might.
When he rushed in just now, I was in a hurry and didn't pay attention. Now I see that the person coming is very extraordinary. I didn't panic at all when I saw him rushing in and pulling out the sharp blade.
The man with the special tattoo on his face exuded a fierce and domineering aura, and there was an endless sense of terror in his perception, as if he was locked in the deep sea, with his claws and fangs occasionally showing.
He had only seen such aura in Kozuki Oden and Kaido. How was this possible?
That woman was not simple either. She was calm and composed, and her poetry and books were evident in her words. However, there was a little bit of dark air emanating from her, and it was unclear why.
"Master Kyoushiro, luckily you arrived in time and stopped this group of lunatics from committing crimes. I'll leave this place to you. Xiao Zi will take her leave first."
Xiao Zi knew what to do at this time and quickly evacuated the battlefield.
Looking at Xiao Zi who had already walked to the door, Robin spoke slowly.
"When the moon is dark in the night, it is like you. I will wait for you until dawn. When the clear light of twenty years has passed, the nine shadows will be cast on the rising sun."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Zi walked to the door and stood there, then walked back to Kyoshiro and looked at Robin dimly.
Kyoshiro was also in a state of confusion. What happened today was too unusual. This sentence... should not be known by anyone else.
"This is not a place to talk about things, let's change places."
"Where to go."
