Chapter 471 The remnants of the Guangyue 1 clan
Chapter 471 The remnants of the Koyue clan
"No."
Kaido, who was sitting in the first seat, rejected Lu Li's proposal without even thinking, "Boy, you just came back, why are you in such a hurry to run around?"
Kaido's tone was rough, but Lu Li could sense the concern in it. It was obvious that Kaido was afraid that he would get lost again.
After all, Warhead Island is also a place that the World Government focuses on. If it is invaded rashly, even the Five Elders or even the Knights of God may be dispatched.
Now that the War of Marineford is over and the world is in turmoil, it is time for them to reorganize their base and establish a strong position. Kaido does not want to let his chief military strategist go out and have fun at this moment.
"It's not like we're leaving tomorrow."
Lu Li smiled and said, "Of course we have to be prepared. We will go to Warhead Island when everything is safe. I will still rest in Wano Country recently."
As he spoke, Lu Li pointed at the white hair on his head and said, "We have to fix it first."
After hearing this, everyone's attitude softened a little. Kaido said in a muffled voice, "Let's go with Yamato to see the current Wano Country first."
The meeting ended, and the main ship of the Beasts Pirates docked at the pier.
For Lu Li in this world, this is his return after a ten-year absence, and even from his own perspective, he has not been back for nearly a year.
"Wow! Is this Wano Country?"
Luffy was still in an excited state as he clung to the bow of the ship. The amazing sight of the big ship climbing up the waterfall and going upstream made his heart, who loved new adventures, beat fast.
As soon as they reached the shore, Luffy couldn't wait to jump down, landed on the land of Wano Country, and looked around.
Lu Li jumped down from the bow and looked at the excited Luffy, "Are you so surprised? Haven't you ever risen up by riding the current before?"
He was curious whether Luffy had ever been to Sky Island. After all, Enelu had been killed by him, so what would happen to Luffy's trip to Sky Island?
"Come to think of it, I've ridden an upwelling current before. Brother Lu, have you ever been to Sky Island? It's a magical place."
Luffy said with a smile.
"Hey, Luffy, if you've read history, you'd know you shouldn't ask a natural disaster this question."
Ivankov jumped down and reminded Luffy, fearing that this question would make Lu Li unhappy.
After all, he loves to read newspapers to understand the world, and he knows that Lu Li was hunted by Green Bull on Sky Island and was finally captured and imprisoned for ten years.
"Sky Island, it's really an interesting place, it's a pity that I didn't explore it properly the last time I went there."
Lu Li waved his hand with a magnanimous look. He had chopped Green Bull to death, so the fact that he was being chased in the past was naturally nothing.
He looked at Luffy again and asked curiously, "So Luffy, you just went to Sky Island for a walk and then came down?"
"Although we didn't encounter any enemies, we had a wonderful adventure and even discovered a historical text."
Luffy said that when he thought back, he felt a little uncomfortable with the smooth journey to Sky Island, but he was not a battle maniac. He just liked adventure, not fighting.
"Oh?"
Lu Li was a little surprised and looked at Jin.
Jin shook his head. "The Straw Hat kid must be talking about the sky island above Gaya. I passed by there, but because I was in a hurry to find Mr. Lu, I didn't take it with me. I just made a copy."
Lu Li suddenly realized that it was all his fault. However, the Beasts Pirates did not keep it away later, which was quite generous of them.
"By the way, have you deciphered the content of the historical text?"
Lu Li asked.
Hearing Lu Li's question, Jin and the members of the Beasts Pirates who had just disembarked nearby were a little embarrassed. Obviously, although they had collected a lot of historical texts over the years, they were unable to interpret them.
"There probably isn't anyone left who can interpret the historical text now..."
Jin said, "In that case, maybe we should have saved Kozuki Oden's life back then."
"Ah? That guy wanted to die himself, didn't he?"
Kaido expressed dissatisfaction after hearing what King said, but he did not explain much.
He actually gave Kozuki Oden a chance to fight him again, but Kozuki Oden insisted on throwing himself into the frying pan to impress everyone. What could he do?
"This is troublesome. The Kozuki family has become extinct. Now there is really no one in Wano Country who can interpret the original text of history."
Quinn analyzed, "So, all the historical texts we collected were in vain. No matter how many we find, we can't reach Raftel."
The great secret treasure is something that every pirate who goes out to sea because of Gol D. Roger desires. Precisely because no one knows what it is, the mysterious color adds a bit of romance.
The four emperors in the new world are more or less aware that the great treasure is not some tangible money, but a kind of power that can change the world.
Therefore, whoever can obtain the great secret treasure can become the Pirate King.
"I didn't kill anyone from the Kozuki family. It seems that Oden has a son. I think he is a waste. I didn't have any interest in killing him, so I let him go."
Kaido said on the side, "But I don't think that guy can decipher ancient texts."
In fact, there is no point in what he said, because Oden's son Momonosuke had disappeared on that day due to the ability of a strange fruit. No one knows what era he was teleported to. Even if Momonosuke had been taught ancient characters by his father, no one knows where he is now.
"Being able to decipher ancient texts... is that such a remarkable ability?"
Luffy was a little surprised listening to the conversation between the few people, "So, Robin is very powerful?"
Lu Li, who had read the original novel, was fine. Kaido and the others were immediately attracted by Luffy's words. "Boy, what did you just say?"
"My archaeologist can decipher ancient texts. Isn't that amazing?"
Luffy grinned, feeling proud of Robin from the bottom of his heart.
I thought that even though they were weak, they were not completely useless. At least even the powerful Four Emperors in the New World did not have the ability to decipher ancient characters.
"Robin, the Devil's Child? She seems to be a scholar from O'Hara. No wonder the World Government wants to hunt her down. It turns out that she had already learned ancient characters at such a young age."
Jhin said thoughtfully.
"Luffy, can you ask Robin to help us decipher the ancient text?" Lu Li asked.
"sure."
Luffy smiled and said, "I can't always be taken care of by you guys."
Luffy’s idea is very simple. Lu Li helped him rescue Ace, so he is a good person. Everyone in the Beasts Pirates was very happy to have a party with him, so they are also good people.
As he walked on the streets of Wano Country, looking at the bustling streets and the happy smiles on people's faces, he knew that this was a country with a good atmosphere.
A ruler who can make his people live such a rich and happy life cannot be a bad person. And the other party has done him a favor, so Luffy thinks that helping him is nothing.
As for the possibility that the historical text may be related to the great secret treasure, Luffy doesn't care at all. What he really wants is the adventure process and the happy experience with his companions.
Even if he was given a pointer leading directly to Raftel, he would crush it. After all, that was not the adventure he wanted.
He wants to be the Pirate King more out of a yearning for freedom and adventure rather than a desire for great strength and power.
Judging from the clues deduced from the historical texts they have seen in their adventure so far, Raftel's great treasure is not something that will easily disappear after someone else has visited it, so Luffy is not in a hurry at all and is just enjoying the adventure process.
"By the way, Mr. Kaido."
While walking on the road, Lu Li suddenly thought of something, "I think it's time for Wano Country to be founded."
"Founding the country?"
Kaido was a little confused, looking at the prosperous street in front of him.
When passers-by saw him, the protector of the country, they saluted with deep respect from the bottom of their hearts, which made even this rough man feel a little elated.
"Wano Country is currently exchanging what it has with the countries under our jurisdiction. Doesn't this count as founding a country?"
Ten years have passed, and Kaido is no longer a reckless man who knows nothing. He also knows a little about management, so he doesn't quite understand what Lu Li means by mentioning the founding of a country at this time.
"I'm not talking about the founding of a country in the economic sense, but the physical sense."
Lu Li explained, "After some analysis, I think the ancient weapon Pluto is very likely hidden in the deep sea below Wano Country. If we break the surrounding mountain walls and release the sea water, we can get Pluto."
Kaido and the others widened their eyes after hearing what Lu Li said, because Lu Li had always been very reliable as a military strategist. No one even doubted how Lu Li analyzed and deduced, but they were just shocked by the 'facts' that Lu Li said.
"Pluto? Under Wano Country?"
Quinn's expression was very exaggerated, "Is this true?"
They chose Wano Country as their base because they were impressed by the craftsmanship of Wano Country's craftsmen in processing seastone. In addition, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it an excellent place for development. With the raw materials provided by Doflamingo, they could make weapons and artificial devil fruits at the same time, so they chose this place.
But now Lu Li said that Wano Country still had ancient weapons hidden, which really surprised them. It felt like a robber who originally just wanted to steal some guns, but found a nuclear bomb hidden in the truck.
"It's quite possible. I will confirm it later. If it's true, I think it would be a good idea to control Pluto first."
Lu Li only remembered this after talking with Luffy. Pluto did not appear in the original work, but it has been confirmed that he is hiding under Wano Country.
As long as the country is founded, that huge battleship will surface, and it will definitely not be a semi-finished product like the Tianwang in their hands, but a complete ancient weapon.
Kaido just rejected his proposal to set sail for Warhead Island immediately. After Lu Li calmed down, he found that his idea was indeed inappropriate. If the explorers of the arcane space brought the Five Elders to raid Wano Country when he was away, they would have no means of counterattack.
The teleportation fruit does have a certain deterrent effect, but it won’t be long before the other party realizes that they need to put pressure on them, otherwise the arcane explorer can just go back to sleep.
If he were to develop a little more, Lu Li could even kill his way to the holy land of Mary Joa with the three ancient weapons in hand.
So Lu Li thought that if it would be safer, they should first get hold of an ancient weapon to make the enemy afraid to use it.
"It's not easy to dive into the deep sea. Most of the strong people in our group are fruit ability users. Mr. Lu, you have also eaten the fruit now. How can we go down to confirm it?"
Jhin was seriously considering the feasibility.
"Just let me handle it. We need to make arrangements before the founding of the country, and this cannot be rushed."
Lu Li said that the plate of Wano Country is currently above sea level. If the surrounding mountain walls are broken and the buoyancy of the sea water is reduced, the load-bearing pressure on the central plate will increase, and there is a possibility of collapse.
These risk assessments must be made in advance. We cannot destroy Wano Country just because of the founding of the country. This is the center of their industrial economy.
"No... no, it's not good anymore!"
Just as they were talking, a figure suddenly ran over from the end of the street and reported to Kaido breathlessly, "Governor, something big has happened!"
Luffy, who was excitedly buying snacks on the street with an apple candy in his mouth, was a little puzzled when he saw the sudden change in the atmosphere.
Kaido seemed to feel very embarrassed and said dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter? You are making a fuss out of nothing."
Wano Country has been very stable over the years, so why did his military advisor get into trouble right after he returned? Doesn't this show that they have been operating the country improperly over the years?
Seeing that the man in front of him was panting, Lu Li stepped forward and said to comfort him: "Don't be anxious, talk slowly."
This real fighter is none other than Speed, the centaur girl who is often responsible for delivering messages. She is a 'victim' of the early artificial devil fruit. Because the artificial devil fruit has no upper limit, her strength has not improved much over the years. If it were not for the fact that she is a veteran, she would not even be able to keep her position as a real fighter, and now she is just responsible for running errands.
Speed was shocked for a moment when she saw Lu Li, but fortunately she also read the newspaper and knew that Lu Li was rescued by the Governor.
Seeing that no one else spoke, Speed knew that Lu Li's status was still the same as before, and he figured out who he should report to, "Governor, Mr. Lu, there's a riot in Jiuli. It's Ashura Boy who's causing trouble. And I don't know where he got a group of friends from. They've already attacked the Rabbit Don Prison."
Lu Li frowned upon hearing this and looked at Kaido, "Mr. Kaido, after so many years, you still haven't dealt with Ashura Boy?"
He is not the kind of soft-hearted person. Never mind whether the other party has any highlight moments in the original work, since the position has been decided, the enemy is the enemy. As early as the last time he came to the One Piece world, he suggested that Kaido kill Ashura Douji.
Even if we don't say that the other party is the remnant of the Kozuki clan, just saying that Ashura Douji occupies the mountain and becomes the king of a bandit who disrupts the law and order of Wano Country is intolerable.
But Teacher Kaido was too fond of talent and always wanted to recruit Ashura Douji, a powerful man with outstanding strength, under his command, but he repeatedly let him go.
Ten years ago, Kaido said, "Give him another two years to try to subdue him." Lu Li just let Kaido be a little willful, but in the end, Kaido actually let Ashura Boy go for ten years.
The worst thing is that Ashura Boy seems to have waited for his companions now.
