Chapter 146 Brother Lu is really smart

Lu Li felt relieved to hear Yamato's words. Yamato realized her mistakes and "unfilial piety", but she did not blindly side with Kaido, which meant that she really thought for herself this time.

In Yamato's heart, she probably really felt guilty for her excessive resistance to her father. After all, regardless of how her father treated others, he was indeed full of love and care for her, and her behavior would hurt the heart of someone who loved her.

Yamato is empathetic, so now she can understand how excessive her behavior was to Kaido. Putting herself in his shoes, Yamato now feels that her father has been tolerant enough towards her.

But she still has the ability to think independently and believes that Kaido's brutal rule over Wano Country is wrong, and she wants to change this situation.

But new problems followed. Yamato suddenly realized that she had spent the past eight years in a crazy and confused state and had never looked at this country rationally.

Apart from eating, drinking and hiding, he went to challenge his father. In the end, he acquired a lot of skills, but had no culture, and didn't know what to do next to improve the current situation of the country.

In short, the only thing she can be sure of now is that the current situation in Wano Country does not seem to be solved simply by defeating Kaido. Moreover, her strength is not enough to defeat her powerful father, even with the help of Brother Lu.

"Brother Lu..."

Yamato spoke expectantly, "What do you think I should do next to improve the situation in Wano Country?"

In Yamato's view, his good friend is the embodiment of wisdom.

Brother Lu not only enlightened her and helped her understand her true self, free herself from the constraints of the diary and truly open her eyes to the world; he also made her realize the colorful world outside. She felt that Brother Lu must be an insightful and knowledgeable person.

Lu Li was stunned when Yamato asked this.

I thought to myself, why are you asking me? It’s okay for me to have a heart-to-heart talk with you and give you some advice, but do you really expect me to teach you how to rebel, how to manage, and how to govern the country?
Do you think I'm a resourceful person?
Lu Li considered himself to be not illiterate. Under the training of his master, he did not fall behind in cultural studies. He was well-versed in the history of ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. He also had a clear understanding of how their world eventually became the core of the evolution of the "company" Junlin, but he himself was not very interested in these things.

He studied the history of ancient countries because his master felt that he could not be an illiterate who did not understand history. Later, he learned about the evolution of the "company" in order to seek revenge and obtain intelligence on his enemies.

But in fact, he didn't want to learn these things at all. They were too boring. How could they be as interesting as boxing and swordplay?
His principle in doing things is to use less brainpower if the problem can be solved directly by force. In the past, in order to find the enemy and lure the snake out of its hole, he lost a lot of brain cells. In the end, he took the initiative to be arrested by using himself as bait, and only then did he lead out the person behind the scenes.

So when faced with Yamato's question, Lu Li subconsciously felt a headache. He was really too lazy to think about it.

He originally planned to educate Yamato, give him the correct guidance, and then find a way to use the relationship with Yamato to leave Wano Country.

"Yamato, do you think I would know these things?"

Lu Li asked back seriously.

Yamato looked at Lu Li with innocence and admiration, "I think you are very knowledgeable, Brother Lu. You know all kinds of stories. You have been to so many countries. You should know a lot about governing a country, right?"

Lu Li couldn't stand Yamato's admiring gaze. God, I'm so knowledgeable. I've just read so many comics and storybooks!

But after he calmed down and thought about it, he felt that if he did not give Yamato any guidance at all, Yamato might be led astray by Kaido and become the second tyrant.

After much thought, Lu Li decided to work harder in Wano Country.

Now that we're here and have captured the princess of the Beasts Pirates, it would be unreasonable not to do something.

"Yamato, it's getting late today."

Lu Li said with a serious expression.

"So what? What should I do next?"

Yamato asked expectantly.

"So...I'm going to bed."

After Lu Li finished speaking, he turned over and lay on the ground, ending the conversation.

Well, he is not such a smart man, so he plans to think carefully for a whole night before telling Yamato about the plan.

If it was someone as smart as Sosuke, he would have brainwashed Yamato again on the first day, and when Yamato asked about future plans, Sosuke would have been able to answer them immediately.

But Lu Li is not as smart as his roommate, so he has to simulate and plan it in his mind first.

"You're going to sleep already? Didn't we say we were going to do some Haki training together tonight?"

Yamato was a little puzzled, but seeing that Lu Li had already laid down, he didn't want to disturb him, so he also found a corner and slept against the wall.

Meanwhile, Onigashima.

Kaido held the wine jar in one hand and drank tons of it. After putting it down, he laughed heartily, "Hahahaha, this kid is really good. Yamato finally woke up. She should never say that she is Oden again in the future, right?"

Black Maria was waiting on Kaido, feeling mixed emotions. "It's a good thing that Master Yamato has come to his senses, but she seems to still want to carry out the liberation movement."

Kaido seemed not to have heard it, or maybe he was a little drunk. He pointed at the screen and said, "Hahaha, Maria, did you hear that? She just called me daddy!"

Maria looked helpless, knowing that the Governor was drunk because he was happy that his daughter had finally become enlightened.

In addition, Yamato admitted it himself during the conversation, and she felt that she was a little sorry for her father. Kaido was very happy at the moment, and Maria felt that Kaido would not listen to anything she said.

After a while, when Kaido's excitement had subsided a little, Maria spoke hesitantly: "Now that Master Yamato has come to his senses and knows who he is, should we get rid of Lu Li?"

"Ah? Why get rid of Lu Li? I quite like this guy."

Kaido had a smile on his face. He liked the sleeping Lu Li in the picture. After all, it took him less than a week to solve his biggest worry for so many years. He had already thought about it. As long as Lu Li was willing to join the Beasts Pirates, he would directly arrange a real fighting position for him.

In addition, Lu Li is still young and has a good relationship with Yamato, so he can be cultivated and made into Yamato's right-hand man in the future.

"Governor... Master Yamato is going to rebel with Lu Li. Lu Li might even give her some advice. Is this really okay?"

Maria said worriedly, she felt that it was a good thing that Master Yamato had come to his senses, but wouldn't it be worse if a person with a self-esteem wanted to rebel against the Beasts Pirates out of self-awareness?
"So what? Am I afraid they will rebel?"

Kaido laughed and said, "I am very interested in what countermeasures Lu Li will come up with with Yamato in the future."

Maria was completely speechless, but she also knew what kind of man her governor was. He was fearless and especially indulgent to those he admired.

She thought about it. Master Yamato is still young, and Lu Li's current strength is average. With the power of these two people, they probably won't cause much trouble. Kaido can suppress it with one hand, so it seems there is no need to worry too much.

She comforted herself in this way and yawned.

She is not as energetic as Kaido. After watching the live broadcast with Kaido for several days in a row, she was very sleepy and planned to take a nap and have a good beauty treatment.

…………

Dang——dang——dang——

The sound of pickaxes hitting ore continues to echo in the venue. It is another beautiful morning and time for healthy mining exercise.

"Brother Lu, have you thought about it? What should I do next?"

Yamato has been asking Lu Li questions since breakfast, which made Lu Li frown.

"Yamato, haven't you decided to be your own man? Why do you have to ask others for advice on everything?"

Lu Li said seriously, but in fact he hadn't thought about it yet.

Yamato's cheeks puffed up when he heard that. "Brother Lu, that's not what you said last night. You said you would give me some advice. Besides, I'm not blindly following you. I just don't have any good ideas, so I want to hear Brother Lu's opinion."

Lu Li rubbed his brows in distress. If there was really no other way, he could only give up and share his limited knowledge with Yamato for reference.

He calmed himself down and said, "Yamato, I think if you want to do something practical for this country, you need to admit your mistakes to your father first and regain your status as a demon princess."

"what?"

Yamato was completely stunned. "Brother Lu, are you okay? We are revolutionaries who want to overthrow my father's rule. Are you going to betray us?"

Lu Li felt a little overwhelmed when he heard this, thinking that people with average tolerance would easily get angry when they were with Yamato. "Don't you want to listen to my opinion? I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you accusing me of betrayal?"

Yamato showed an embarrassed smile on his face, "Then Brother Lu, please continue. I'm listening."

"We have discussed this before, haven't we? Kozuki Oden's biggest problem is that he doesn't do anything practical. The reason I don't like this man is that he has both the identity and the ability to do practical things, but in the end he didn't do anything."

Lu Li explained, "In other words, if you really want to make a career in this country, both strength and identity are indispensable, and identity itself is a kind of strength."

"What do you mean?"

Yamato's face was full of confusion. She stopped the work in her hands, sat on a big rock and looked Lu Li in the eye, like a good kid listening to a lesson.

"To put it simply, both of us are too weak. Any one of us can beat us in a real fight. If we go recklessly and rebel against your father, you will be fine, but I will be dead in the sea tomorrow. Do you believe it?"

Lu Li said that this was foreseeable. Kaido would indulge Yamato and give potential seedlings a chance, but he would never give himself a second chance.

If he dared to rebel with Yamato, Kaido would beat him into a pulp with one blow.

"Hmm... Brother Lu's words make sense, so the purpose of my identity is to keep myself from dying?"

Yamato pondered.

Lu Li shook his head. "Of course it's not that simple. What I mean is, since brute force doesn't work, you might as well make good use of your identity, get the position and power you deserve, and use this power to do things. Isn't that much better than just staring blankly?"

Yamato's eyes lit up, "That seems to make sense!"

"Of course. Think about it. If you challenge Kaido, you will just be knocked unconscious and sent to prison. You won't actually help any of the people of Wano Country. But if you were the Demon Princess, it would be different. You could use your authority to distribute some food to help poor areas. You could still do it, right?"

Lu Li said that this was the simplest solution he could think of. In fact, he felt that as long as Yamato had a certain status, there were many things he could do in Wano Country.

And as long as Yamato does not affect the main business income of the Beasts Pirates, Kaido will definitely not care.

"Brother Lu, you are indeed a smart man!"

Yamato clapped his hands in admiration, "Now that you put it, I understand instantly. I was simply wasting my time before. If I had done this earlier, I don't know how many people in Wano Country could have been saved."

She looked at Lu Li with excitement, "What's the next step?"

Lu Li's expression froze for a moment, "Let's do the first step first."
