Chapter 18: Wano Country Development Plan

The change of Bakei Daimyo did not cause much stir.

Compared to Wano Country's new policies, this was an insignificant matter.

Single day off, twelve-hour work system!

This work system, which would be considered hard labor in Cain's previous life, had a dimension-reducing impact on Wano Country's slave factories.

After the news was announced, the people of Wano Country cheered.

General Yamato has arrived, and the sky is clear!

Not only that, Cain also announced a series of rent reduction and disaster relief policies to appease the people.

In any case, the wealth Orochi had plundered from the people was enough for Wano Country to live for three years without eating or drinking.

The promulgation of the new policies quickly won the hearts of the people within a few days.

Yamato swiftly secured her position as General.

Flower Capital.

"General Yamato, please try the new wagashi from my home."

"General Yamato, these are freshly picked pears."

"General Yamato..."

The enthusiastic commoners surrounded Yamato, offering their heartfelt gifts.

Yamato accepted everything with a smile.

"Did you get the shot?"

Cain turned to the reporter beside him and instructed, "Be sure to promote General Yamato's approachability and the people's love for her."

Such a wonderful scene of harmony between the military and the people could not be wasted.

The reporter nodded repeatedly, "Lord Cain, I'll go back and write the article now, and it will be published on the front page of the Newspaper tomorrow."

Shortly after the reporter left, Yamato, who had finished dealing with the commoners, walked over excitedly.

"Cain, I still want to go to Kuri."

"What for?"

"To clear land. I heard from the commoners that it's the poorest place in Wano Country, and people starve to death there every year."

Yamato said matter-of-factly, "I am the General of Wano Country, so I must go to the most difficult places and Helping Hand them develop."

Fukurokuju, who was following nearby, looked at Yamato in surprise.

He knew that General Yamato was different from General Orochi, but he hadn't expected such a stark difference.

They were practically two extremes.

How could someone like Kaido raise such a daughter?

However...

This was truly the best news for Wano Country.

Fukurokuju's eyes showed more genuine approval.

Cain thought about it and decided it wasn't a bad thing, so he agreed and let Yamato go to Kuri alone.

Anyway, with her strength, there was currently no one in Wano Country who could threaten her.

Yamato left excitedly.

Cain ordered, "Fukurokuju, send two reporters to Yamato to record everything."

Fukurokuju understood.

After throwing all the trivial political matters to Fukurokuju, Cain set off back to Onigashima.

He still had a lot of things to arrange.

The mess Orochi left behind was simply too bad.

...

"What! You want me, this great lord, to research how to reduce factory pollution?"

Queen was so startled that he almost dropped the test tube in his hand.

"Kid, we are the Beasts Pirates, we are pirates!"

What kind of pirate, with nothing better to do, researches how to benefit the people?

Cain calmly said, "Not only that, I also need you to research agricultural machinery, such as seeders and harvesters. Of course, while reducing pollution, the weapon factories also need to improve efficiency."

He wanted to achieve industrialization in Wano Country, even if it was only preliminary industrialization, the development of productivity would be extremely significant.

In a word, even the worst capitalism is more advanced than feudalism.

Queen's fat cheeks trembled with anger.

What do you take me for? I am the great Queen, researching biochemical weapons and laser weapons!

Weapons that kill fewer than two digits of people at a time are not even worthy of being included in his research plan.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Queen flatly refused, "Also, I don't think our relationship is good enough for you to ask me for Helping Hand."

He still remembered the scene when he woke up from unconsciousness that day, ran back to the dueling arena wanting to try again, and found that Cain and the others had fled.

At that time, his pent-up anger had nowhere to go, which really frustrated him.

"Mr. Queen, why are you so narrow-minded?"

Cain gently persuaded, "Developing Wano Country is not just my business, it's a matter concerning our Beasts' century-long plan!"

Queen puffed out his cheeks and gave a Glare, refusing again, "Don't try to fool me, kid, impossible is impossible."

"Wait a minute." Queen seemed to have thought of something and smiled strangely, "If you can give me Komurasaki, then I might consider it."

"You're not planning to take her but not do anything, are you?" Cain rolled his eyes at him. Do I look like an idiot?

Queen's smile stiffened. How did this kid guess?

"Alas~ It's still too difficult, I guess."

Cain sighed, feigning regret, "Thinking about it, it's true. Difficult tasks like controlling pollution and researching new machinery can only be accomplished by a man with the world's greatest brain, like Vegapunk."

"Kid, don't try to provoke me with Vegapunk, I don't fall for that." Queen snorted.

Although he constantly talked about being the world's top scientist, he secretly admired Vegapunk.

The more knowledgeable one was, the more one could understand Vegapunk's terrifying abilities.

Cain's eyes widened in surprise, "I didn't. I can't even find Vegapunk. But I heard that a top scientist named Vinsmoke Judge worked with Vegapunk, so he probably can."

"Since Mr. Queen can't do it, I'll ask Mr. King to help me get in touch."

"Huh? I can't do it?"

Queen stood up with a start, his obsession with Judge clouding his mind, "Judge, that good-for-nothing, you give him two years and he still won't understand those projects."

"I, Queen, the world's top scientist, only need three months to produce results!"

He took the bait.

To deal with this kind of scientist, you have to play them against each other.

Cain's lips curled, "Then I'll look forward to it, Mr. Queen."

With that, he turned and left, not giving Queen time to react.

"No! You kid!"

Queen looked at Cain, who was walking away quickly. His mind calmed down, and his intelligent IQ reasserted itself, but it was already too late.

"Damn it!"

Queen's whole body trembled with anger.

On the other end, Cain, who had left Queen's laboratory, changed direction and went to the banquet hall instead.

A certain NPC, Kaido, was always there.

Sure enough, when Cain stepped into the banquet hall, Kaido was enjoying the dancers while drinking heavily.

"Hmm? It's Cain."

Kaido, with his eyes hazy from drink, took a while to recognize the man in front of him.

"Burp~" Kaido let out a comfortable burp before asking, "Aren't you playing house in Wano Country, kid? What are you doing here at my place?"

Cain reported to him about the discussion he had just had with Queen.

"Oh~ Do as you please."

Kaido waved his hand dismissively, saying, "I still say the same thing, I only want weapons."

Having a leader like Kaido was indeed worry-free.

Cain left satisfied.
