Chapter 151 How Did I Become a Military Advisor?
Lu Li felt a headache when he heard this. You know, he wanted to go out to sea in this world, but how come he was tied up by the Beasts Pirates?

Maria, you are plotting against me!
"Hmm... that's a solution, kid. Didn't you say before that you wanted to make complicated reforms? I don't want to listen anymore. Just do it. I'll give you two months. I only want to see the results."

Kaido nodded and spoke in a serious tone. It was obvious that if Lu Li couldn't produce good results, he would probably not have a good ending.

Then Kaido looked at Yamato again, "Yamato, didn't you say before that you wanted to do something? Later, I will appoint you as the new general of Wano Country, and Lu Li will assist you."

"Brother Lu, that's great. This way we can do practical things for the people!"

Yamato happily pulled Lu Li's arm, completely unaware of the reluctance on Lu Li's face.

"It's settled. I will arrange a trade and send you a batch of food."

Kaido made the final decision, not giving Lu Li any chance to refuse.

"Father, the seastone handcuffs we are wearing have not been removed yet."

Yamato reminded her, waving the chain on her wrist. Although it didn't affect her movements and life, it was still uncomfortable.

Kaido's eyes swept over Yamato and Lu Li, and then he said in a dull voice: "Since you have a criminal record, you are forbidden to leave Wano Country within these two months. After the governance results come out, I will have someone release you."

As he said that, he gave Maria a look. Maria understood and said to Lu Li with a smile: "Mr. Lu, don't blame us for not trusting you. But even if you want to become a partner on the ship, there is always a probation period. I will have someone change your handcuffs so that it will not affect your daily life."

"I understand. I will work with Yamato to improve the situation in Wano Country."

Lu Li nodded. It didn’t matter what kind of handcuffs they were. He had a master key that could open them at any time.

However, he was surprised that Kaido could have such a brain. He thought that the other party was so careless that he would directly untie the handcuffs on himself and Yamato. It seemed that the other party still wanted to restrict their range of activities, at least not to leave Wano Country.

Sure enough, after a while, someone brought new chains, similar to Yamato's. After removing the handcuffs from Lu Li, they replaced them with new chains.

This lock only locks his wrist and does not connect it, so it is just like a bracelet and does not affect his movements, but it will explode after leaving Wano Country.

"Father, it's so undignified for us to be managers while wearing handcuffs. There's no such thing as a general wearing handcuffs."

Yamato's cheeks puffed up, showing great dissatisfaction, much like a daughter acting like a spoiled child.

But Kaido remained unmoved and still maintained his dignity. "Yamato, the dignity of a superior is not reflected by attire, but by your strength. If the two of you can do well, the lock will be unlocked naturally in two months."

Seeing that Kaido had made up his mind, Yamato didn't say anything more. She had gotten used to wearing these two bracelets over the years anyway, so it didn't matter if she wore them a little longer.

After the brief discussion, Kaido waved his hand and said, "Just go ahead and do it. New food will be delivered the day after tomorrow morning. Before that, you must first be able to take over the position."

Yamato was stunned when she heard this, not understanding what her father meant, so she turned to look at Lu Li in confusion.

Lu Li didn't react at first, but he soon understood that Kaido was not prepared to kill Orochi himself!

This matter was directly assigned to him and Yamato as a trial mission, but the difficulty of this mission is a bit high. I really don’t know if Kaido has completely let go.

Seeing that Kaido had already started drinking and didn't seem to want to continue the conversation, Lu Li and Yamato left the cave and prepared to start their adventure in Wano Country.

"Brother Lu, I have seen the black charcoal snake once. That guy is very weak and should be easy to kill. Let's kill him tonight!"

Yamato said confidently, pumping his fist, obviously not realizing the difficulty of this mission.

She had no psychological burden about killing Orochi. It would be better to say that she had wanted to do so for a long time, especially since she was once Kozuki Oden. Orochi was of course her enemy.

After listening to Lu Li's analysis today, she found that compared to her father Kaido, Kurozumi Orochi is much worse and is currently the biggest cancer in Wano Country.

"It's not that simple. There are many experts around Kurozumi Orochi. Let's go into the city first and observe the situation first."

Lu Li thought about it and realized that Kaido’s mission was not actually for Yamato, but for himself.

Because Yamato is the user of the fruit ability, her power is restricted by the bracelet, so she is not the main combat force. Although she also has a bracelet, she can use her power at will.

With Kaido's eyesight, he can naturally judge a person's strength, so Kaido is actually testing himself, and also testing his relationship with Yamato.

This is not just his imagination, the new task he received can also serve as evidence.

[Hidden Mission: Kaido's Favor]

Mission content: Your theory of governing the country has been initially recognized by Kaido. In addition, due to your friendly relationship with Kaido's daughter Yamato, he has already liked you very much, but he still wants to test your ability and the strength of your friendship with Yamato.

If you can pass the test, kill Kurozumi Orochi, and assist Yamato to become the general of Wano Country, you will gain Kaido's deep trust.

Mission Difficulty: Normal ~ Must Die
Mission Reward: Kaido's Favor, Random Animal Devil Fruit
Failure penalty: None
There is no penalty for this task, perhaps because the space feels that there is no need to punish itself after failure.

Based on Lu Li's understanding of Kaido, even if he failed, Kaido would not do anything to him, at most he would be a little disappointed, but the mission itself was extremely risky. Because Kurozumi Orochi was surrounded by many experts, including the traitor Kyoshiro, a great swordsman. If the other party did not reveal his position now, he would most likely take action if Orochi was assassinated.

If an expert of that level attacked him with a knife, Lu Li felt like he would be gone in an instant.

After all, the opponent was not at the vice-emperor level, but at least at the level of the Six Flying Six. He had also used reconnaissance skills to secretly look at Maria before, and saw the same row of question marks.

This means that there is already a huge gap between him and those at the level of the Six Flying Six, the numerical difference is too huge.

So if you want to kill the Kurozumi Orochi, you can't just kill it forcefully, you have to find a good opportunity.

Kaido probably made such arrangements to test how smart he really is. After all, Oden failed to kill Kurozumi Orochi even though he tried his best. It was not because Oden was weak, but because he had no brains.

Since the punishment is none, Lu Li can of course choose not to do it. He still has the opportunity to use the key to unlock the door and run away, but that is not in line with his style of doing things.

After spending many days together, he has regarded Yamato, who has found his true self, as his friend. Now that Yamato is in need of help, he can't just leave. He also wants to improve the situation in the country to the best of his ability.

In addition, the rewards for hidden tasks are very generous. An animal-type devil fruit is a rare good thing.

When Lu Li was a kid and reading the One Piece comics, he thought the Natural Type was the most powerful because the Natural Type was not afraid of physical attacks and was simply shameless.

After reading the later part of the comics and knowing that Haki can hit people with natural abilities, it did not eliminate this inherent impression, because natural abilities can just elementalize in advance to avoid it, which is just as cheating.

Later, when he came to the space and read the later content of the comics, he discovered that the animal series also had high value.

Because the Animal System not only has a great bonus to physical skills, but also comes with the ability to "sit-ups" after awakening. As long as it is coupled with powerful domineering, there is no doubt that the upper limit is high.

In comparison, the natural and superhuman types depend more on the fruits. Some fruits are really powerful, while others are just so-so. As long as the animal type is well developed, it is basically very strong.

So Lu Li had thought about it before, if he had to eat a devil fruit, he would consider eating an animal-type one, preferably a powerful mythical beast type.

However, he was just thinking about it. Devil Fruits are bloodline items and their upper limit is difficult to estimate. Unless he foresaw a particularly suitable and top-grade Devil Fruit, Lu Li would not consider eating it for the time being.

"Ghost Princess, Mr. Lu, please follow me. I will take you back to your country."

A pirate brought Lu Li and the other two on board, speaking respectfully. It was obvious that Kaido had already greeted them in advance.

Lu Li’s current identity is still rather subtle. Strictly speaking, he is just a prisoner released from Rabbit Prison by Kaido. He has not yet officially joined the Beasts Pirates, but ordinary pirates have already become respectful to him.

This either means that Kaido had already decided to "accept" him before summoning him for an "audience", so he ordered the pirates on the island to be friendlier to him; or it means that these pirates felt that Yamato had restored his status and that they were Yamato's good friends, so their status naturally rose.

Don't ever think that pirates are fools who don't understand the ways of the world. In the Beasts Pirates, although the cadres and senior executives look stupid, these low-level pirates are more observant and know who is powerful and who can be bullied.

Precisely because they do not have strong personal strength, if they want to get along well in this cruel environment, they must have some emotional intelligence.

In the eyes of these pirates at this moment, Lu Li is already a rising star in the Beasts Pirates. He is a close friend of Master Yamato. To think about it disrespectfully, if Kaido dies one day, Yamato will become the new leader. Wouldn't Lu Li be the new big boss?
Therefore, these pirates were very respectful to Lu Li, and after boarding the ship, they took the initiative to bring wine and food to Lu Li.

Lu Li did not refuse, and sat on the bow with Yamato, enjoying the sea breeze, drinking and eating meat, feeling very happy.

He has now come to terms with it. Since he has been tied to Wano Country, he will work hard and try to govern the country well, which can be considered as accumulating good karma.

Besides, going out to sea may not necessarily bring high profits. There is still a lot of money to be made in high-level maps like Wano Country. If you can get to the top of the Beasts Pirates, it is hard to say about other things in this world, but at least you should be able to walk around freely among explorers.

Lu Li did not forget that there were three or four hundred explorers who had entered this world. It was just because the world was too big that it was difficult for them to meet each other. But that didn't mean they would never meet each other.

The End Space has been encouraging him to kill the explorers of the God Space. He believes that the other side is the same. Once they encounter each other, both sides will most likely fight to the death.

At night, Lu Li and Yamato went ashore and returned to Wano Country.

"It feels so good to ride on a boat. I really want to go out to sea with Brother Lu one day. The world outside must be more exciting."

Yamato said after stretching, his face full of anticipation.

"Let's do what we have right now first, there will be opportunities in the future."

Lu Li said that now that Yamato was no longer rebellious, as long as they completed the mission, they would not need to use the master key to unlock the door and run away. If they wanted to go out to sea, they might even be able to get help from the Beasts Pirates.

"The Flower City is not far ahead. Brother Lu, I have a plan to kill the big snake."

Yamato pointed to the brightly lit city ahead and spoke slowly and confidently.

"what's the plan?"

Lu Li always felt that Yamato was not very reliable, but he still asked first.
