One Piece: Starting with the enslavement of Wano Country!

Page 26

Lei Luo nodded slightly: "Mm."

We'll just have the kids dig up more when the time comes; sea stone is a rare commodity overseas.

Back at their base, Kaido had just hung up the phone when he saw Leylo arrive and immediately beckoned him over.

"What happened?" Lei Luo asked, puzzled.

Kaido took a breath and laughed heartily, "Kuru has already followed Nekomamushi to Zou Island and called to ask me about our next move. I told him to wait for the vice-captain to return so we can discuss it and then get back to him."

"Let me think about it." Lei Luo stroked his chin.

The reason we didn't kill the cats and dogs at the time was to play the long game; otherwise, we would have had no way of finding the elephant that had been walking on the sea all along.

There's even a red road sign with historical inscription on Zou Island.

Furthermore, since I am part of the Beasts Pirates, the beasts on Zou Island should naturally be under the rule of the Beasts Pirates.

Of course, if the current king of Zou Island dares to be as arrogant as the cats and dogs are when they face Jack, and the whole country is willing to die rather than submit, then Leilo can grant their wish.

Kaido arrogantly raised the corners of his mouth: "Shall we attack Zou Island now?"

Lei Luo shook his head slightly: "It's not possible now. Our eight thousand crew members need to be divided to occupy the six villages of Wano Country. We don't have enough troops to occupy Zou Island."

"Then you tell me." Kaido, as usual, didn't use his brain and left the problem to Lero to handle.

After pondering for a moment, Lei Luo said, "Let Kuru's avatar record the pointer on Zou Island, and then go there after Wano Country is stable."

“Okay, I’ll get back to Kuru right away.” Kaido nodded and picked up the Den Den Mushi to dial back.

Lei Luo then went to the conference table and looked at the map of Wano Country.

Wano Country, excluding Onigashima, is divided into six regions.

As the capital of Wano Country, the Flower Capital should rightfully be ruled by Kaido.

Rabbit Bowl is the main mine. If you want to torment those lowly people, then Rabbit Bowl is yours to deal with.

Hakumai possesses Wano Country's only seaport—Renbu Port.

Let's leave it to King; he has an impressive track record of kicking down the Big Mom Pirates with a single kick.

Kuri was originally a desolate area full of crime, but now it's been managed quite well by Oden. Queen is the fourth person to join, so let's leave it to him.

Hime was then entrusted to the siblings Englaralarik and Matitau, while the bell was sent to Raja and Ahal.

After dividing everything into zones, Leylo immediately convened a meeting with all the officers of the Beasts Pirates.

Everyone agreed with the first mate's arrangement and each led their crew to the destination.

Only Lei Luo let out a barely perceptible sigh; among the group of people, not a single person could muster a single thought.

The post-war reconstruction of Wano Country was in full swing, but the crew of the Beasts Pirates did not contribute a single bit.

The pirates stationed in Wano Country only know how to eat, drink, and have fun, and then sleep with the women of Wano Country.

The women of Wano Country showed no disgust whatsoever; on the contrary, they greeted the Beasts Pirates crew with smiles and served them with great care.

There were even quite a few people offering themselves as bed partners!

This was exactly what Lei Luo had expected.

He has a servile nature at his core; the more you suppress him, the more willing he is to dedicate everything to you!

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

The year Haiyuan calendar reached 1490.

Thanks to Raylo's relentless spending and exploitation of Wano Country's workforce, Wano Country has regained its former prosperity.

The ore mine has already been completed, and a large number of men from Wano Country have been escorted here to "work".

Lei Luo is different from those capitalists; Lei Luo is still very humane.

They only need to work sixteen hours a day at the ore mine, and Lei Luo gives them a full eight hours of rest time!

Moreover, Lei Luo works one day on, three days off, and one year on, so he can have three minutes to close his eyes and rest.

Of course, there's no salary either. You're already working, and you still want a salary? There's no such thing as having both.

Kaido officially became the supreme ruler of Wano Country in the Flower Capital.

Of course, it wasn't a "general," it was an "emperor."

A vassal state is a vassal state.

While others are either emperors or kings, he in Wano Country is called "General," a title that is inferior to others.

All the key members, including Raylo, also obtained their respective official positions in Wano Country.

Raylo became the "Myō-ō" of Wano Country.

Jin is the Great General.

Quinn is the head of the research department.

Stussy is the Minister of Finance.

Matithao is the Minister of Publicity.

Englararik, Raja, Ahar, and Kulu, who returned from Zou Island, were all army commanders.

Chapter 40 That must be me, Kaido.

The scorching sun beat down on the Rabbit Bowl Mine.

The miners, shirtless and hunched over, were carrying huge ore rocks, their bodies drenched in sweat.

"What are you dawdling about!"

The miner was just standing there catching his breath when, in the next second, the whip was already lashing him.

The Beasts Pirates were all tall and strong. With a powerful whip, the miners' skin was instantly torn open, and the sweat flowing into their flesh caused them to let out heart-wrenching howls of pain.

The huge ore on his back couldn't be supported for a moment, and the miner fell to his knees under the weight.

The Beasts Pirates' overseer became even angrier upon seeing this, and lashed the miner with his whip again and again.

While whipping the cigarette, he scolded, "You still dare to slack off! You still dare to slack off!"

Sweat mixed with blood streamed down their faces. The miners suffered terribly and were in unbearable pain, only able to utter humble pleas for mercy.

"Sir, please stop hitting him."

"My lord, I know I was wrong, I'll get up right now!"

The miner gritted his teeth, his legs trembling, and slowly, bit by bit, stood up.

He knew that if he didn't stand up, the overseer would really beat him to death there.

"He...tui!"

The foreman spat in the miner's face and cursed, "Just like Lord Ming said, they're all spineless cowards who won't budge unless you beat them."

The other miners dared not speak out in anger, and all lowered their heads, silently carrying the ore.

He was terrified that if he stopped for even a moment, the whip would fall on him.

After yelling at the foreman, he quickly retreated to the air-conditioned room.

This damn heat!

Fortunately, I have a high-temperature allowance!

The air conditioning was something that Quinn specially developed at Lei Luo's request, and Lei Luo's office at this time, without exaggeration, could freeze a penguin to death.

All the outdoor units of the air conditioners are facing the mine outside!

Lei Luo sat in a soft executive chair, with a panoramic view of everything happening in the mine through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

Looking at the miners struggling outside like ants, Lei Luo's lips curled into a mocking smile.

Stussy held a piece of frozen watermelon to Leilo's lips. Leilo opened his mouth and took a bite of the watermelon, but his gaze did not leave the mine below.

At first, Stussy couldn't understand why Raylo enjoyed watching the people of Wano Country being tortured, but he gradually got used to it.

Who cares? It's not like I'm torturing myself.

They're pirates, this is standard practice, okay?

Moreover, if the miners work hard, it's like sending pesos into her coffers as the finance minister.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi on the desk next to him rang, and Stusi answered it without thinking.

"Oh, alright."

Stussy then handed the Den Den Mushi to Rayleigh: "Kaido's call!"

Lei Luo couldn't help but laugh.

Kaido initially brought Stussy into his pirate crew because he wanted to hear Stussy call him captain.

Two years later, Stussy still kept calling him Kaido.

In the heat of the moment, he even cried out to himself, "Good captain, no more!"

Lei Luo answered the phone. "What's wrong, Kaido?"

Kaido's voice came through the Den Den Mushi: "Rylo, come to the Flower Capital."

"Okay, I'll be there right away!"

Lei Luo didn't ask anything more, put away the Den Den Mushi, transformed into a Tengu, and flew towards the Flower Capital.

Upon arriving at the palace that Kaido had rebuilt in Wano Country, one could smell the aroma of sake from a great distance.

This wine dragon drinks during the day too!

Fortunately, Kaido at this stage is not like the Kaido of later generations, who would become drunk and act crazy when he drinks.

Before Lei Luo could even sit down, a beautiful palace maid had already served him tea.

Lei Luo picked up his teacup, took a sip, and asked Kaido with a smile, "What's up? What do you want?"

Lei Luo's wish to travel to this world has been fulfilled, and now he lives in his dream every day.

He was in such a good mood that he always had a smiling face.

Kaido picked up his gourd and took another swig of sake, then let out a burp and asked drunkenly, "Rylo, when are we going on another expedition? I'm so bored in the Flower Capital."

During the year on Baltimore Island, although I didn't go anywhere, Lei Luo and Jin were always by my side. When I wanted to drink, someone would accompany me, and when I felt itchy, I could even find Lei Luo to fight.

In Wano Country, things were fine. The territory was big, but there was no one to drink with, no one to fight, and he just drank alone every day.

What are the political affairs of Wano Country?

Sorry, I can't handle any of it.

On the second day after arriving in the City of Flowers, Mattitau was urgently transferred from Ximei.

Lei Luo rested his chin on his hand, giving Kaido a meaningful look.

Is he drunk or not? Is he truly drunk or just pretending?

"I'm asking you a question!" Kaido felt he had been seen through and could no longer keep up the act.

Lei Luo still had a faint smile on his face: "Wait a little longer, wait until we recruit some more people."

Over the past year, the Beasts Pirates' main objective has been to rebuild Wano Country, so they have not set sail.

Of course, they didn't recruit any new people in Wano Country either; they weren't qualified, they were only qualified to mine.

Therefore, the Beasts Pirates currently only have eight thousand pirates.

Later, the Beasts Pirates established an arms factory on Onigashima.

Of course, Raylo wouldn't be foolish enough to build an arms factory on his own territory. To the people of Wano Country, Onigashima was practically a place of exile.

With 8,000 pirates spread across six villages and an island, the forces are already stretched thin, and there are truly no extra troops to send out.

Kaido's forces are capable of overwhelming the enemy, but to truly conquer a territory, one must actually occupy it, not just plant a flag and call it a day.

"Still waiting?" Kaido's words were filled with deep disappointment.

Lei Luo nodded slightly. "Wano Country is basically stable now, and each village can spare a little bit of troops. If you're really bored, go and recruit some people in the waters near Wano Country."

"Fine!" Kaido replied sullenly.
