Chapter 154 Kaido: So fast?
Yamato felt that instead of asking a lot of questions before executing anything, it would be better to let Brother Lu take charge directly. This way she could be much more relaxed and just watch and learn from the side.
Lu Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard Yamato's words, thinking how could there be such a ruler. However, his trust in Yamato was still a little touched, so he could only make up his mind and try his best to help her deal with the mess in Wano Country.
"So it's Mr. Lu, the military advisor. I'll arrange for someone to get the latest list for you to review."
Fu Lu Shou was particularly good at observing people's words and expressions. He found that although Ming Wang's daughter was a new general, this new general did not seem to have any opinions of his own and simply followed Lu Li's orders.
Therefore, Lu Li might be their direct manager for the next few days, so it would be a good idea to please him.
"Well, have someone clean up the General's Mansion so that there won't be any strange smells everywhere. In addition to the list of ninjas, give me a list of Orochi's original subordinates."
Lu Li looked into Fu Lu Shou's eyes and said, "Don't play tricks."
Fu Lu Shou is certainly a strong man. In the original work, he was able to fight against Raizo, one of the Nine Red Scabbards, to a draw. In terms of hard power, he is definitely stronger than Lu Li.
But for this kind of person, what matters in his world is not a person's individual strength; power is something more tempting to him.
At this time, Yamato became the new general of Wano Country, so Lu Li was the only one above everyone else in Wano Country. At the same time, the Beasts Pirates stood behind them, so Fukurokushou could only obey orders with his head lowered.
"Mr. Lu, please rest assured. I will immediately order a blockade of Huadu. None of the remnants of Heitan will be able to escape."
There was a sinister expression on Fu Lu Shou's old face, as if he hated the Kurozumi Orochi group extremely. If you didn't know him, you would think he was some kind of hero.
"Just arrest the people on the core chain. Don't rush to kill them. I still have use for them."
Lu Li gave the order. He didn't want to cause constant trouble in the Flower City and make people panic.
"My subordinate understands and will do it now."
After hearing the order, Fu Lu Shou waved his hand, and the ninjas present quickly disappeared, as quietly and efficiently as in the ninja animation.
"Brother Lu..."
After the ninjas left, Yamato hesitated and said, "Is this a good idea? These people are also minions of Kurozumi Orochi, don't we have to get rid of them?"
"Yamato, if that's the case, then everyone living in the Flower City is more or less related to Kurozumi Orochi. Should we kill them all?"
Lu Li explained, "Besides, after we get rid of these ninjas, who will help us? Do you think your father will still give us manpower?"
Yamato was stunned for a moment, "Will he not send someone to me? There are a lot of people in the Beasts Pirates, and I feel like everyone usually has nothing to do."
Lu Li held his forehead and sighed, "Yamato, why do you think your father didn't just let the Beasts Pirates manage the Kingdom?"
"Isn't it because we discussed it with Kurozumi Orochi..."
Yamato felt something was wrong halfway through his speech. If they really wanted to abide by the agreement, Kaido would not let them kill people.
"The Beasts Pirates didn't come to manage the Kingdom themselves, which shows that your father still has some sense. How can pirates manage a country well? It's true that Kurozumi Orochi is a scumbag, but he is from a powerful family after all, and he knows a little about management. The people under him are more or less people in the country. You don't think that finding a group of pirates can do a better job than Kurozumi Orochi, right?"
Lu Li said, "Think about the pirates in the pirate group. What kind of style do they usually have? It's okay to have separate management now. If they come to Wano Country to be the management, I'm afraid they will let themselves go."
"So that's how it is. I didn't expect that I haven't thought as deeply as my father. It's really humiliating."
Yamato said a little embarrassedly.
"Don't look down on your father. He is one of the Four Emperors. His life experience is beyond your reach."
Lu Li said, "Now he has asked us to govern Wano Country. This is a test for us, and also a test. We probably won't get any manpower support in the early stage. In fact, governing a country cannot rely on a bunch of pirates. We have to select a group of normal people."
"Are those ninjas considered normal people?"
Yamato asked.
Lu Li shook his head. "Of course they are not, but they are not managers either. They are just our hands and feet. People like Fu Lu Shou will only succumb to power. When our position is stable, he will not rebel. He is very useful."
Yamato suddenly realized that without the ninja army, they would have no eyes and ears, and they would have to do everything by themselves, which was not acceptable. "What about the managers of other levels of the Orochi Group?"
"Of course they were all killed."
Lu Li sneered, "Every one of them is a ruthless person. They didn't become bad because of the influence of the Big Snake Group. They were rotten from the beginning."
Kurozumi Orochi's purpose of becoming a general is to destroy Wano Country. It is easy to imagine what kind of people he chooses as managers. He deliberately chooses people who will bully the local people as managers.
Yamato asked Lu Li for advice on future strategies in the Shogun's Mansion. At the same time, Kaido on Onigashima also received the news through the monitor.
"So fast? How did that kid do it?"
Kaido was a little surprised when he got the news, because he knew that the user of the Barrier Fruit beside Kurozumi Orochi was very difficult to deal with, and he was the only one in the Beasts Pirates who could break through head-on.
He originally wanted to see how this clever boy Lu Li could break the move. If it really didn't work, he would also consider killing the snake himself and let Yamato become the general.
Unexpectedly, Yamato and Lu Li killed Kurozumi Orochi on the first night after arriving in Wano Country.
"In reply to the Governor, after Lu Li and the Ghost Princess arrived at the General's Mansion, they took action directly. I don't know how he directly passed through the barrier and killed the black charcoal snake with one sword."
The monitor Caiman woman reported. "Crossing the barrier? He doesn't have the power of a devil fruit..."
Kaido was a little confused, but he didn't ask any further questions. He just thought that it might be some kind of magical technology from Lu Li's hometown. After all, there are all kinds of strange things in this sea, and the ability to pass through barriers is not particularly rare.
He originally wanted to see how Lu Li would use strategy to kill the black charcoal snake, but he didn't expect the other party to rush over. He was a little disappointed for a moment, but he admired Lu Li even more.
"Send the order and have them speed up the delivery of food. Also, have someone arrange that I will attend the ceremony as the Ming Wang tomorrow to endorse Yamato's status as the general."
Kaido ordered that he was the guardian king of Wano Country, and his identity was a bit like a guardian god. Orochi was dead, and his daughter would take the throne tomorrow, so he naturally had to show up.
After his men left, Kaido picked up a jar of wine and drank it. He walked outside the cave and looked at the bright moon. "I am really looking forward to what Wano Country will become."
…………
The next morning, Lu Li and Yamato ended their long talk and walked out of the general's mansion.
There is a heavy and depressing atmosphere in Huadu today. There are fewer pedestrians on the streets, and the doors of every household are closed. It is obvious that people have learned the news of the death of Kurozumi Snake and are very nervous.
Last night, the Oniwaban group went out in force to arrest officials from the Kurozumi Orochi group. The security team was responsible for blocking the entrances and exits of the Flower City, causing a stir in the entire city.
Although martial law has been lifted this morning, people here are still uneasy.
The main reason is that most of the local people are related to the interests of the Heitan Group, otherwise they would not be able to live a wealthy life in Huadu.
When people were in panic, the security team publicized the "truth" of the matter on the streets.
The news that Kurozumi Orochi had rebelled and was killed by righteous people spread quickly, causing many people who learned of the news to call it outrageous.
Kurozumi Orochi was rebelling? Who was he rebelling against? Wasn't he the head of this country?
Later, when people learned that the new general would be Yamato, they became even more anxious.
Because they all realized that the Beasts Pirates were finally unwilling to be a shadow in the background, and wanted to stand in the front.
Who is Yamato? Many people don't know, but once someone who knows her identity tells her, the news spreads instantly. She is Kaido's daughter, and of course she represents the Beasts Pirates!
So people sighed and said that Wano Country was really full of disasters. First, it was ravaged by Kurozumi Orochi, and now it is directly ruled by pirates. Many people think that it is even worse than Kurozumi Orochi.
In addition, many people in Huadu benefited from the Black Tan Group, so they now hate Yamato and the so-called "righteous man".
As the news spread and time went by, people's anxiety gradually increased, and people outside the Flower City also gradually learned about the changes in the country.
At noon, when the sun was shining brightly, something big happened in the Flower City.
All officials of the Heitan Group were taken to the center of the market with the largest flow of people, and were all executed in public.
Many people in Huadu also saw the legendary Demon Princess Yamato for the first time. They were also impressed by the majestic man in black standing next to the Demon Princess.
It was the man in black who gave the cold order that caused thousands of heads to fall to the ground. There was no honorific seppuku, all were done by direct beheading.
When the people saw such a shocking scene, they were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweats. Those who had been running gray-area businesses by relying on their good relationships with officials were even more frightened, fearing that they would be held accountable later.
Such ruthless measures have made many people lose their hope of getting away with it. They are either preparing to leave Huadu and live in anonymity, or preparing to retire and live a good life from now on.
In the afternoon, when the sun was about to set, a majestic green dragon came through the clouds and descended from the sky.
Its majesty and power frightened many people, while others showed their admiration for the powerful creature.
Under the witness of the country's protector, Yamato officially became the general of this country and ruled the country of Wano from then on.
Well, the whole so-called ceremony process seemed extremely sloppy to Lu Li, and it had no legitimacy after all.
But this world speaks with fists, the victors are kings and the losers are bandits. They can say whatever they want to Kurozumi Orochi now, just like Kurozumi Orochi can also freely arrange things about the Kozuki family.
Nowadays, the people of Wano Country are mostly resistant and fearful of the rule of the Beasts Pirates. They miss the gentle rule of the Kozuki Family, but Lu Li will make them forget about the Kozuki Family soon.
The people are the group with the least memory. In the final analysis, it doesn’t matter who the top managers are. All they want is to have enough food and clothing and to live a good life.
Like the ancient emperors, if they could make the people live well, they would be considered good emperors. If the people did not live well, their rule would be overthrown, and the next good emperor would appear, and this cycle would repeat.
If under Yamato's rule, these people gradually discovered that they were living better than when the Kozuki family ruled, would they still admire the Kozuki family so much and say that Yamato was a pirate who came to power illegitimately?
That is impossible. The people are not fools. If they are used to a good life, no one will miss the backward and poor days.
"Boy, you did a good job. Jhin will deliver the food tomorrow. Distribute it well for me this time. I don't want any problems to occur in my factory."
After the ceremony, Kaido patted Lu Li on the shoulder and said, looking at the smile on his face, it seemed that he really regarded Lu Li as his own.
"Don't worry, Governor. It will never affect the operation of our pirate group. I will also quickly win the hearts and minds of the people of Wano Country. After that, perhaps the output of our factory will increase."
Lu Li said with a smile, and every word he said hit the mark in Kaido's heart, but he didn't just say it casually. If everything goes according to his plan, not only will the people of Wano Country be loyal to the country, but productivity will also be improved, and the factories will naturally benefit as well.
Kaido's smile widened upon hearing this. He took a box from one of his subordinates behind him and threw it to Lu Li, "This is the reward you deserve. Eat it and assist Yamato well in the future."
After Lu Li took it and looked at it, he found that it was actually an animal-type devil fruit.
