Pirate: I'm really not a Super Saiyan

Chapter 143 Oden's Confession

Xia's speech instantly made the whole audience fall into silence.

Too much information was stuffed into everyone's minds at once, making it difficult to react for a while.

Establish the Fourth Army?

What does this have to do with us?

Oh, Kozuki Oden is the commander of the Fourth Army.

Then Wano Country joined the New World Government...

what? !

After thinking for a long time, everyone finally understood what Xia had just said, and the noise suddenly became loud again.

Xia's worst expectations did not come true. No one stood up to openly question or oppose the matter. Everyone just exchanged opinions with each other and whispered.

The daimyos of various villages behind Xia and Oden had been personally doing ideological work for the past few days by Xia and Oden. Even if they were dissatisfied with Xia's decision, they were eventually persuaded by Kozuki Oden, who had an exceptionally tough attitude.

In the end, it was Xia's words that moved them.

"Anyway, whether he is the general or the commander, Kozuki Oden will rule here in the end, so what do you have to worry about?"

In fact, these daimyo were not very resolute in their opposition. They were not opposing it because their position as daimyo would be abolished. They were mainly worried that a similar story like Kaido and Orochi would happen again.

They couldn't help but worry, because the combination of Xia and Oden was much stronger than the combination of Kaido and Orochi.

Xia Ke defeated Kaido, and it is obvious that he is not someone to be trifled with. If Wano Country is targeted by him again, there will be no peace ever!

In exchange for the support of the daimyos from various villages, Xia made political promises to the new government so that it could peacefully accept Wano Country and quickly integrate its military power and resources.

On the premise of not interfering with the customs and people of Wano Country as much as possible, the new government will bring Wano Country under its rule equally, streamline the military and administration, reduce taxes and levies, allow the country to recuperate, and give the people of Wano Country a stable and happy life!

After Xia's investigation, each township continued to be ruled by the daimyo, and the term of daimyo was abolished and changed to township head.

Together with the Governor Kozuki Oden and some advisers sent by the new government, they formed a new administrative team of Wano Island and jointly decided on the future development of Wano Island.

It is equivalent to incorporating them all into the bureaucratic system of the new government, and then governing them by the means of Wanoshima people governing Wanoshima.

In this way, the daimyo were weakened in name only, but in reality their power even increased!

In the future, they will be able to participate in deciding national affairs, which was not possible before.

Under Xia's superb political tactics of both cutting off and attacking, winning over and dividing, and the initiative of Kozuki Oden, the legitimate successor to the shogun, to "surrender to the enemy", all the daimyo accepted this result.

What else could happen?

If they can't beat Kaido, can they beat Xia?

Now Xia is willing to talk to you nicely, do you dare to lose this face? Kaido's head on the ground is the best deterrent!

When Kozuki Oden saw how superb Xia's methods were, he became more determined in his decision.

He had no desire for the position of general. To him, as long as the people of Wano Country could live a better life than if he were in power, it didn't matter who became the general.

What's more, he is nominally the future administrative governor of Wano Island. If any problems are found in the governance of the new government, Oden will be able to make changes!

Although all the senior officials on the execution platform had been persuaded by Xia, this was the first time that the people below the stage learned the news.

There was a lot of discussion immediately.

Seeing this, Oden took a step forward and spoke loudly.

"Everyone in the Flower Capital, please listen to me!"

When everyone saw Kozuki Oden personally stand up and speak, they all fell silent, wanting to hear what the legitimate successor to the shogun had to say about the matter.

“I, Kozuki Oden, as the legitimate heir to the Kozuki clan and the shogun, should shoulder the burden of the shogun and protect the safety of Wano Country.

But because of my own selfishness and insistence on going out to sea, I gave Orochi, Kaido and other villains the opportunity to take advantage of me, allowing them to wreak havoc on the country of Wano for many years!

The main responsibility lies with me, and I cannot shirk it!"

It is conceivable that these words have been kept in Oden's heart for too long. A straightforward man like Oden has been compromising under Orochi and Kaido for the safety of the people all this time. How uncomfortable he must feel inside!

Now, taking advantage of this opportunity, Oden spoke out everything that was in his heart!

“Thanks to my friend from overseas, Xia, he heard what happened in Wano Country and was determined to help us. In the end, he defeated Kaido, saved Wano Country, and saved the people from hanging. I am really grateful.

Xia and his people founded a force called the New World Government overseas. From my personal experience, I know that this New World Government has clear internal politics, smooth government policies, treats the people kindly, and is thriving.

It is a just organization that does not levy heavy taxes or abuse people's manpower and material resources. It is committed to developing people's livelihood and resisting tyranny. Its goal is to overthrow the world's aristocracy!

I secretly believe that joining the New World Government can bring a better life to everyone in Wano Country!

In the future, Wano Island will exchange what we have and trade with the various islands under the New World Government. Even the natural barriers of high mountains and waterfalls will not hinder our communication with the outside world.

We no longer have to rely on the weather for food. When necessary, food, clothing, housing and transportation can be macro-controlled by the government and shipped from other islands.

We no longer have to pay those exorbitant taxes. Each island under the new government will collect taxes flexibly according to local conditions and the current situation. There are no exorbitant taxes and it is very transparent!

We do not need to maintain a large army to protect ourselves, which has always been a heavy burden on our people. We only need to voluntarily join the army under the unified arrangement of the government. The army of the new government has the responsibility and obligation to protect every inch of the new government's territory!

Everything I said is true, and the volunteers from the new government who have been working with you these days are the best proof of that!"

The people of Wano Country looked at each other, and slowly chose to believe Oden's persuasion.

"In the future, I will serve as the commander of the Fourth Army and concurrently as the administrative governor of Wano Island, taking full responsibility for all government affairs of Wano Island. I will definitely not let you down!"

After saying this, Oden bowed deeply to the people.

Kangjia sighed, walked out from the back row, walked to Yuden's side, helped him up, and said.

"I believe what Kozuki Oden said, and I believe in him as a person.

In the past few days, I have fought side by side with friends from overseas and have a deep understanding of them. They are brave and tenacious on the battlefield, and as close as friends and brothers in life. They are truly rare friends!

I, Shimotsuki Yasuie, am willing to respond to Kozuki Oden's call, give up my status as the Daimyo of Hakumai, and join the New World Government!"

With the Kang family taking the lead, other daimyo also came forward and expressed their willingness to give up their positions and obey the arrangements of the new government.

Seeing that Kozuki Oden and the daimyo had made the same decision, the people of the Flower Capital and other villages gradually began to stop resisting the new government and tried to accept the fact that they were no longer citizens of Wano Country.

Seeing this, Xia smiled slightly. The battle in Wano Country was finally over for him.

The most difficult hurdle, the hearts of the people of Wano Country, has been successfully won!
