Pirate: I'm really not a Super Saiyan

Kozuki Oden was left speechless.

He is not stupid, he just spent too much time with loyal sea heroes like Roger and Whitebeard, and has a favorable impression of pirates.

Subconsciously, I think that all the pirates in the outer seas are like Roger and Whitebeard.

Guided by Xia's ideas, Kozuki Oden broke out in a cold sweat and discovered the key to the problem!

There is nothing wrong with what Xia said, that's the fact!

If he chooses to continue to believe the lies of Kaido and Orochi, and one day in the future they turn against him, he will be completely helpless!

"Don't put your fate and the fate of your loved ones in the hands of your enemies, Oden."

Xia looked at Kozuki Oden who was thinking and persuaded him.

"I can help you, our new government can help you, Oden.

I promise you that our sending of troops is not intended to harm you like Kaido did.

Our goal is to liberate all the people on the sea from the old government, so that they will no longer be oppressed by anyone, and there will be no more nobles in that world. Everyone can live in a free and equal world.

This includes your country, Wano. Wano is the country we have chosen to liberate next.

This is the second purpose I just told you about."

Oden was silent.

Recalling the news reports he had read in the newspaper before, Oden believed Xia's words a little, but he still had doubts in his heart.

"Then why did you choose Wano Country? What did you like about this country?

Like Kaido, you are all attracted to some characteristics of Wano Country."

Xia shook his head and said.

“Indeed, Wano Country has rich resources, a vast population, and a large number of masters, all of which we value.

But there is an essential difference between us and Kaido.

Kaido treats Wano Country as his colony, considering himself the emperor and the people as slaves. He conscripts laborers, builds weapons, and squeezes nutrients from the entire country just to feed their Beasts Pirates.

Typical pirate style.

We are different.

Our governing philosophy is completely different from that of the pirates.

If you also want the resources of Wano Country, we will choose to trade with you using other scarce resources of Wano Country, such as food, advanced technology, etc.

If we also want the military strength of Wano Country, we will choose to make all the benefits of joining the army public, and voluntarily recruit soldiers, and treat them equally with ours.

If Wano Country encounters an emergency, we will send troops to intervene; if Wano Country encounters natural disasters or man-made disasters, we will send people to rescue it; if there is a poor harvest in Wano Country in a certain year, we will requisition affordable grain from other islands to provide disaster relief and will never hoard grain.

Of course, all of the above is based on the assumption that Wano Country is incorporated into our governance.

In the final analysis, we will treat Wano Country as our own territory. The people of Wano Country are the people of the new government, and the land of Wano Country is the land of the new government. We will not do anything to destroy our own Great Wall."

"Then what did you mean by letting me join the new army? Wasn't it voluntary?"

Oden asked.

Xia smiled and said.

"Oden, I won't lie to you, so I'll tell you straight.

As the legitimate heir to the position of Shogun of Wano Country, you have a very high prestige throughout the country. Once Kaido and Orochi are defeated, your appointment as Shogun will be justified.

However, our new government will not re-establish the title of king on each island. We must have only one country, the new government, within our country.

Therefore, based on the specific national conditions of Wano Country and your personal situation, Oden, I will make a suggestion.

I sincerely invite you to join our new army. In the future, we will recruit a group of warriors from Wano Country to form the new Fourth Army. I would like to invite you to serve as the commander of the new Fourth Army.

We announce to the outside world that Wano Country has joined the governance of the new government, abolished the position of general of Wano Country, and replaced it with the commander of the Fourth Army, that is, you, who will serve as the highest administrative chief of Wano Country.

Of course, we will assign some qualified officials or recruit a group of local people to govern the specific government affairs.

It just so happens that the ruler of Wano Country is called the Shogun, and now the title of the general is just changed to the commander-in-chief. It will surely not cause too much resentment among the samurai of Wano Country.

If you can take the lead in embracing the new government and joining the new army, those who admire you across the country will definitely support us.

Moreover, as the highest administrative chief of Wano Country, you can decide many things. As long as you don't go against the new government's policy, you can make your own decisions on specific matters.

This is my third goal.”

Xia looked at Kozuki Oden sincerely.

It has been a long time since Kozuki Oden has been respected like this. Xia hid nothing and revealed and explained his thoughts and considerations to him step by step, starting from every step. This was something Kozuki Oden did not expect.

He also speaks frankly about his various ideas for Wano Country and various future arrangements, laying out the interests openly and allowing you to make your own choices.

Should he continue to be oppressed by Kaido and Orochi, or should he join the new government?

Oden didn't think about it for too long. To him, this was just a single-choice question.

After Xia pointed out his childish behavior, he now looked back at Xia's opinions and ideas and felt that they were far inferior to his own.

"I accept your offer."

Kozuki Oden extended his hand to Xia, and Xia also extended his hand, and the two clasped their right hands.

Kozuki Oden smiled for the first time since the two met and said to Xia.

“I hope the world you described can be realized soon.”

"It will happen, Oden, with our mutual efforts."

The agreement was reached.

"Gather the samurai of Wano Country secretly, Oden, and be careful not to leak the secret, because quality is more important than quantity.

Don't alert the enemy. Orochi is stupid, but Kaido is not. He is both powerful and cunning. Once we give him the opportunity, our plan will fail."

Xia instructed Yutian carefully.

Oden nodded as he listened.

"Our people will arrive in Wano Country in about three days. I will lead them straight to Onigashima. Forget it, let me and your retainers arrange the specific battle plan.

By the way, gather your retainers. One of them is a spy for Orochi. He must be eliminated before the battle begins."

Kozuki Oden listened to Xia's words, nodding and humming continuously, and he didn't stop until the end.

"Hmm. Huh?!"
