Pirate: I only come here for three things!

Some people always think that since the feudal dynasties all died from land annexation, why not just kill those landowners?

Great, great idea.

The only problem is that the emperor himself is the largest landlord, and he naturally represents the interests of the landlord class. Regardless of the way Western feudalism talks about blood relationships, in an ancient country, there were academic clans in the Spring and Autumn Period, clan clans in the Jin, Sui and Tang Dynasties, and scholar-bureaucrats in the Song and Ming Dynasties.

They seem to have changed a new layer of skin, but it seems that they have not changed. What has not changed is the natural desire to absorb power.

And if you continue to expand the power of your own class, you will eventually hit the ceiling. You can call that thing imperial power. Of course, you can also be more elegant and call it the highest interpretation power.

Only military power and priests cannot be lowered, and in the increasingly cruel struggle, it is really great to gain the benefits of them.

But in an island nation next door, why did their emperor exist for so long?

Because the false monarchy is Britain, and the emperors maintained great power during the Victorian era. The real virtual monarch system is Japan.

Which one is bigger, the general or the emperor?

Japan's unique practice of retaining only the sacrificial power from the imperial power is the fundamental reason why they have been able to spread for so long and transcend the laws of the dynasty. In Japan, it is always the general who speaks loudly, not the mascot enshrined in a divine cage.

But the Kozuki family in Wano Country is a little different.

Because what he was referring to was actually the Meiji period, the power in the hands of the emperor during that special period.

A family of craftsmen who make stone tablets pass their craftsmanship from generation to generation. In the history books, it would be a joke if someone surnamed Liu or Zhu continued to pass on their carpentry skills all day long. A certain carpenter emperor applauded this.

In fact, the Kozuki family of Wano Country has not truly obtained the power of the peak imperial power in our ancient traditional period.

Even in the so-called peak period of Wano, when samurai and caravans were dispatched all over the world, Wano's greatest military power, the samurai, were still in the hands of the heads of families of all sizes in Wano, and the control of the war was The control of the army is also all in the hands of the Shuangyue family, Shuangyue Ryoma and others. As for foreign policy itself, if Kozuki Sukiyaki wants to do something, it must first ask the opinions of the Shigetsuki Yasu family and others.

Everything must be discussed.

In the final analysis, the foundation of Wano Country is Japan's feudal society. Although the Kozuki family has gained much more power than the royal family in reality, they are still in a long-term conflict with the prime minister and the various daimyo under them. The level of mutual competition between them.

Both sides fight without breaking up. In the final analysis, they are brothers and representatives of the interests of the landlord class. There are conflicts, but it's not impossible to talk about them.

Although some small means will be used, they are all within the scope of the rules.

Therefore, as the largest landowner class in Wano, Kozuki Oden was born with the right to interpret sacrifices, which was simply the biggest bug in this system.

He is full of romantic feelings.

Oh, this is a fool, always sacrificing current interests for things that don’t exist yet. Is this what people can do?

He's super capable.

Oh, this next generation of the Kozuki family is insoluble in water. (disappointment)

He acts openly and aboveboard, and what he does often makes people feel different.

Oh my god, you are the prince of a kingdom! Pay attention to your image, okay? Also, you have to report to us when you do something!

He often interacts with people of all walks of life, and he has a good relationship with each other. Whether it is Ashura who is a gangster, or the leader of the underworld, Mr. Bao, or the little pony Kinemon Foxfire Kinemon, he treats them equally. Many people were flattered by this and considered him the only light in life.

What do you want to do? Do you want to bypass the people under our direct rule? !

The last one, which may even directly destroy the foundation of Wano's privileged class, is that you, Kozuki Oden, have no intention of overturning the table, but you do have the strength. Whether you have the strength to overturn the table and whether you have the ability to overturn the table are two different concepts.

Only then did everyone realize that Kozuki Sukiyaki, who had been a submissive, good-natured person, and thought about his dolls all day long, had such a terrible heir.

Most of the normal methods of dealing with Kozuki Oden are ineffective, and because he is born with a charm plus 20, he can't even get an edge. No matter when he appears, someone will definitely follow him. This is a very scary ability.

And the most important thing is that he is not afraid of assassination at all.

The Heitan family was angry first. Can this be played?

Although it was the heyday of Wano, the privileged class had never stopped discussing the prince of the kingdom. This bastard really didn't seem to be able to listen to human words. How can we listen to public opinion like this? (Aristocrats only) As it develops later, will this person highly strengthen his monarchy?

In response to this anomaly, a major split occurred among the privileged class. One of the factions, led by the Heitan family, directly rebelled. If you don't do one thing, you won't stop.

The ending was nearly complete destruction. The only remaining fire on the surface, the black charcoal snake, was taken in by Shuoyue Kang's family and was able to retain a little fire. There are only a few old and young people left. The basic base and manpower of Black Carbon Orochi at the beginning are not as luxurious as Donquixote Doflamingo, who killed his parents. It can be said that the Heitan family is seriously injured at this time.

The other group of people is the reformist group headed by the Shuangyue Kang family.

You Kozuki Oden can do whatever you want, and we'll rub your ass!

What they are preparing is for the prime minister to replace the king. The system allows you to change it. If the national power can be enhanced, that is a good thing. No, I can barely make do with the meat of an eyeless guy like Heitan.

You, Kozuki Oden, are only over 100 years old, so we can survive you to death. With so many things going on in the country, you can’t handle it alone, right?

In order to get things done, take a look at the retainers chosen by the Shuoyue Kang family for the prince.

Down-and-out nobles, street gangsters, local bandits, and even three who were simply not human.

But there is not even a noble from Wano Country inside. The Shuoyue family is so powerful. Is it difficult to squeeze in a few of Shuoyue's own people? Others just didn't do this, and as long as he didn't stuff people in, it wouldn't be easy for other nobles to stuff them in either.

To make it clear is to make initial preparations for top-down reform. His Shuangyue family is no longer a good person! Change it, why can’t it be changed! Change to death! I am ready for my own revolution!

Just as a group of people were gearing up, they were waiting for this once-in-a-millennium prince to displace his father and take that position. The vested interests, who were not willing to be cut off and did not want to usher in changes, chose the last resort.

They called the Whitebeard Pirates.

The Whitebeard Pirates travel across the sea. Why do they have to travel thousands of miles to come to this ghost place, Wano Country, for supplies? Why don't you change the island? This damn place is really not normal. If something goes wrong, if you enter Wano and close the only safe port leading to the outside world, then sooner or later the pirates in the inner sea will have to fall off the high cliff. Choose between death and surrender.

In fact, there are two reasons that prompted the Whitebeard Pirates to come this time. First, the captain of the team, Ma Ge, can fly. At worst, he will grab the boat and transport it one by one. As "Phoenix" Margao, a user of the animal type, bird fruit, phantom beast species, and phoenix form ability, This is a trivial matter. What's more, the white beard with the shock fruit can smash the outer wall of this ghost place at any time, allowing you and the country to be released from the state of seclusion.

The second reason is that they really gave too many benefits, which could make Whitebeard, who was as famous as Roger, Golden Lion, etc., feel excited. They undoubtedly carried out a wave of heavy bleeding, but this action was indeed worth it. of.

Don’t you want to go to sea?

Take a look at the Whitebeard Pirates. Does it perfectly meet your expectations?

No one expected that Kozuki Oden, whom they had high hopes for, would dare to go to sea.

No, brother, you, Kozuki Oden, are the number two person in Wano. What will happen to our country if something happens to you?

Your father didn't even have any more children in order to ensure your right to rule!

If you burp outside, wouldn't the King of Wano be completely finished? ? !

If before Yu Tian went to sea, the stability of his throne was similar to that of Prince Zhu Biao during Zhu Yuanzhang's reign, then from then on, the stability of his throne was almost similar to that of Zhu Yunwen during Zhu Yuanzhang's reign.

Is there any family in Wano that is not closely related to your Kozuki family?

The country cannot live without a heir for a day, Shuangyue Kangjia and Guangyue Sukiyaki, we mean just in case, just in case.

What if something happens to our heir outside?

The top priority is to choose the third-ranked successor in case anything happens to Kozuki Sukiyaki.

This kind of reasonable and reasonable forced marriage made the two old foxes make a reasonable, but now looking at extremely wrong decision.

They decided to support Black Carbon Orochi to become the third heir.

This person has a very close relationship with Kozuki Oden, and is even often rescued by Kozuki Oden and gets a lot of money. This meets your own standards.

At the same time, he has no connections behind him. There are only three or two big cats and kittens left in the Heitan family. There is no strong backing behind him, so he is a good seedling for a puppet.

The choice of the Black Carbon Orochi by the two of them was just a power play, and the meat in the pot was still reserved for the one they thought would become Kozuki Oden who would change the country of Wano in the future. And the black charcoal snake is the good seedling they prepared.

At the beginning, not even the Black Carbon Orochi, who would be his most loyal friend in the future, was on his side.

However, Black Carbon Orochi started his extreme gambling operation.

He bet that Kaido would come to Wano Country, and he won the bet.

He bet that he could secretly take over the current King of Wano, Kozuki Sukiyaki, and he won the bet.

He bet that he could gain some support and gain the right to rule the Flower City.

This time, despite the strong opposition of the Shuoyue Kang family, the black charcoal snake still won.

The Flower City is different from Kuri. As the most elite place in Wano Country, there must be someone in charge here.

This black charcoal snake is the third heir to Wano that you and Kozuki Sukiyaki have decided on, and you have admitted it yourself.

Although it was just a stop-gap measure at the time, the end result was that after a lot of twists and turns, the one who finally ruled Wano became the black charcoal snake. Although he once said personally that when Kozuki Oden comes back, he will return the position of general to him.

But everyone is clear in their hearts.

At the pinnacle of power, there is no room for two people.

The Shigetsuki family and the Kozuki family had been planning for nearly twenty years to support Kozuki Oden to rise to power. From this point on, it can be said to have basically gone bankrupt.

The strength of the Black Carbon Orochi expanded rapidly, and when Mitsuki Oden landed, this was the best time for him to regain his position.

However, the hanging man gave up on his own.

As a result, the trend of Wano Country completely changed, and the Kuotan family successfully completed a desperate comeback.

If you don't think it's okay to be a general, why don't you take the position now? It's true that things are changing. Although due to route problems later, many people discovered that the sons of the Kozuki family and the sons of the Heitan family were the same.

Kozuki Oden wanted to achieve equality for everyone and found the country. This black charcoal snake is not a good bird either. It trades arms and has free trade. Groups of small and medium-sized enterprises in Wano declared bankruptcy completely.

Neither side is a good bird.

Not as good as the Kozuki family!

In the difficult struggle, due to the inaction of the key figure Kozuki Oden, the entire country is continuing to deteriorate little by little. The interests represented by the feudal landlord class and traditional industries, represented by the daimyo from all over the world, have formed an alliance with Kaido and Black Carbon Orochi. , the conflicts between the military-industrial complex have become increasingly acute.

"Please take back your gaffe." The three people on the other side looked at Duanmu with cold eyes. The kappa was holding his favorite knife, and he looked like he would attack if they disagreed.

"Okay, okay, I take it back. But what does this have to do with you guys looking for me? Now that you know my identity, what do you want to accomplish through me?"

"Although this document is very creative and imaginative, if it wants to continue to be implemented, it will inevitably encounter huge obstacles."

Denjiro really had a good mind, and for his master's almost whimsical idea, he devised a plan that seemed to be somewhat possible. Although many parts seemed childish, Duanmu had no reason to reject this plan.

This plan itself is very beneficial to the World Government's visiting fleet.

"Now the two sides are not convinced by the other. Although your Excellency has forcibly stopped the ignition of this war, in the next situation, it is very likely that the current situation will worsen. This is what Your Excellency does not want to see. Yes, in this case, this is what I don’t want.”

"In order to escape this vicious circle of mutual stalemate, I would like to try to introduce a third party."

"World government, right? In the name of the Kozuki family, we will invite you to mediate the conflicts between us. I hope you will not refuse."

The two sides are fighting at home, but they are counting on the help of other international forces. If I were from this country, I would shout that this is a crime and that it is exporting national interests. But it's a pity that my butt is sitting on the side of the World Government.

Then this plan is really great.

"Your plan can indeed impress us. The decision is basically made. The possibility of our boss agreeing is certain, but what about the other two parties?" Duanmu looked at the three people in front of him, of course the main one was Denjiro.

"Of course there are two other explanations."

"If both parties can be invited, this matter will be considered successful, so other retainers of the Kozuki family are also running around for this matter."

For Heitan Orochi, he said that if it is beneficial to them to team up with the World Government, the World Government will definitely choose to export arms to the outside world, which can give the World Government more profits. As for the coalition forces, it was said that if this operation failed, it would be another good opportunity for assassination. Because the location of the parliament was set on the territory of the daimyo, if a fight really broke out, the situation would be favorable to the coalition forces.

But what about Kozuki Oden?

As for Kozuki Oden's interests...

Denjiro knew that he had to make him understand what he couldn't say.

There is no future for blindly compromising and praying for peace. After this meeting that is destined to fail, he should be able to understand something from it, right?

"But I may still need a little help from you. Are you saying that someone is secretly targeting me behind my back?"

Denjiro nodded and truthfully informed Toyota of the situation.
