Pirate: I'm really not a Super Saiyan

"Everyone line up and sign up in an orderly manner!"

"Don't rush, don't rush! Everyone who signs up has a chance, just line up!"

Such scenes appeared in the Flower Capital and in the squares of each township.

The new government has placed a conscription booth in a prominent location in each gathering place, with several staff members in charge of the conscription registration process.

The rules are very simple, anyone can sign up, and ultimately Kozuki Oden will personally select the best from the best, 3000 elite samurai to be added to the still empty Fourth Army!

The treatment for new soldiers after joining the army is very generous. Not only is there a generous military salary, but as long as one person joins the army, it can also reduce taxes for the family. Coupled with the celebrity effect of Kozuki Oden, people who are willing to join the army are simply flocking in!

Since the daimyo gave up their status, the samurai who were vassals under them were also without lords. Their martial arts were no longer useful, and they did not want to go up the mountain to become bandits, so they had no choice but to come here.

After discussing with Oden, Xia decided to give priority to recruiting these former samurai. These people are not only very powerful, but also have amazing influence in the local area. They must be stabilized first, and the remaining quotas will be allocated to others.

Not only samurai, but also gangsters, ronin, and ordinary people all enthusiastically participated in the conscription.

The staff at the conscription office were so tired that they couldn't even lift the paper.

Wanoshima, the Governor's residence, which is the former castle tower.

Oden was drinking with Xia.

Momonosuke and Hiyori were playing around while Tentsuki went out to buy groceries.

"Everyone is very enthusiastic about joining the army. You're worrying for nothing, Xia."

Oden took a sip of sake and said.

"People are willing to trust us only because of what we have done before. If we break our promise to them, they will quickly abandon us and choose others.

Therefore, we need to work diligently, put the needs and wishes of the people first, win their hearts and minds, and make them feel the benefits of joining the new government. Only then can we say that we have the people’s hearts and minds.”

Xia said as he played with the wine glass, admiring it in his hands.

"Hahaha, what you said makes sense. I think you are indeed more suitable to be a leader than me!

At present, recruiting 3000 soldiers should not be a difficult task, and it should even be more than enough. What do we need to do after recruiting them? Xia? Go to the battle?"

"We have to go to war, but if we don't see blood together, how can we call ourselves a group?

However, it is a big problem that you warriors are not good at naval warfare. I plan to add 500 people to the Fourth Army first. While giving you ships to sail, I will also be responsible for training your sailing skills.

In contrast, you need to separate 500 people and distribute them to the other three armies on a regular basis.

This is also for your own good. If you isolate yourself for a long time, you will become unsociable in the eyes of others. "

Oden expressed his understanding.

"Next, once all the men are gathered, you will lead the Fourth Army in its first expedition, and the target will be the nearest allied country of the old government.

With your strength, it should be easy to take it down.

The main purpose is to get to know each other and find problems. Afterwards, there will be special instructors to teach you other knowledge that you need to master.

You don't have much time left. Due to several strategic misjudgments of the old government, their strength in the New World has been severely weakened. We must seize this opportunity!

Our First, Second, and Third Armies are all fully prepared to fight, and we will strive to bring half of the New World under our rule in this wave of offensive!"

Oden was shocked by Xia's ambition. He was different from other people on Wano Island. Oden had gone to sea with Roger and Whitebeard!

He knew how big the new worlds were and how difficult it would be to conquer them!

"Aren't we a little too hasty, Xia?"

Oden advised.

Xia shook his head and said.

"Time waits for no one. Now that the enemy is weak and we are strong in this local battlefield in the New World, we must seize the opportunity.

Otherwise, given the huge size of the old government, it is only a matter of time before it recovers quickly!"

Oden thought about it, nodded, and said after being persuaded by Xia.

"You are right. Especially after next year, the number of pirates will increase significantly. You might as well take advantage of this opportunity to expand your territory."

Ok?

What do you mean?

Will the number of pirates increase next year?

It is now the end of 1497. Next year, 1498, is the year when Roger dies and the Great Pirate Era begins!

People from all seas will be inspired and called upon by Roger, and will actively go out to sea in the hope of finding the great treasure.

The number of pirates will increase unprecedentedly, and correspondingly, the navy will also expand significantly in order to deal with the threat!

Xia is a time traveler, so it's fine if he knew about this and planned ahead of time, but how come Kozuki Oden also knew about this? Especially from what he said, it seems that he already knew in advance that the Great Pirate Era was about to begin?

Facing Xia's gaze, Oden knew he had said something wrong, and he laughed awkwardly, found an excuse and left.

Xia did not ask any further questions. A person like Kozuki Oden did not reveal a single word of information about Roger before he died. He probably would not have said anything if he didn't want to.

Anyway, Xia is not interested in the so-called great secret treasure. No matter whether it is a treasure, a piece of information, or a story, it cannot interfere with his career!

----

Time passed quickly on Wano Island, and transport ships from the new government, loaded with support personnel and supplies, arrived in Wano Country.

At the same time, after recruiting sufficient troops, the Fourth Army, led by Kozuki Oden, will launch its first expedition.

Xia did not accompany them. Kozuki Oden was not a novice at sea and he did not need to be looked after like a baby.

The result was just as Xia expected. As soon as the Fourth Army set out, it achieved an amazing result!

Under the leadership of Kozuki Oden, the Fourth Army successfully captured two member states, three lawless zones, and islands that were not member states in one go!

Successfully extend the new government's influence in the second half of the New World westwards!

At the same time, the Second and Third Armies in their hometown were not idle either. This time it was the turn of the First Army to guard the home while the Second and Third Armies were dispatched.

Lily and Kurd had already chosen their targets, and this time they specifically targeted islands with dense populations and rich resources, and they reaped rich rewards.

The actions of the new government were divided into two phases. The first phase was to expedition to Wano Country to defeat Kaido, and the second phase was to expedition to other countries. Both have been successfully completed!

Including the Fourth Army’s achievements, they have captured a total of 7 member states and 6 non-member states. Including Wano Country, a total of 14 islands have been captured by them!

The population and territory have more than doubled, and the new government's war potential has greatly increased!

Therefore, Xia discussed with the senior officials of the new government and decided to stop this wave of offensive and instead start to digest the results of this battle and take these territories into their own hands!
