Chapter 229
Chapter 229
By the time Olbia arrived at Wano Country, time had unknowingly entered the end of 1492.
Now the "satellite island" plan of the Beasts Pirates' headquarters has been successfully completed, and Arpaado Island has been placed directly above Onigashima.
The first batch of flying battleships delivered by Quinn also successfully passed the test. Planck, the weapon master, combined with the shellfish of Sky Island, also produced a large number of new weapons, which were snatched up in the global high-end weapons market.
As for the food plan that had been secretly started a long time ago, it was also a complete success this year.
Elbart used meteorological technology and the ability of the Black Dragon to change the sky to directly bring a rainfall to Wano Country for several months.
After all the seeds planted were soaked and rotten in the ground, the grain merchants in Wano Country controlled by the Beasts Pirates began to sell steamed seeds.
When the farmers planted seeds again, Elbart began to control the weather again, and then there was another rainfall that lasted for several months.
After two or three times, the farmers ran out of seeds and money to buy seeds, and they could only worry about the little food they had saved in the previous years.
As the farmers had no food, the whole Wano Country began to suffer from large-scale food shortages.
At this time, the Beasts Pirates took advantage of the situation and launched the "welfare policy" of "exchanging mines for food" and "exchanging work for food".
To put it simply, you come to work for us, and I will give you food.
So under the temptation of food, nearly 60% of the people of Wano Country began to become workers working for the Beasts Pirates.
The factories of the Beasts Pirates were also successfully opened all over the country with the strong support of Captain John and Shandora Gold, as well as the support of most people in Wano Country.
It cannot be said that the daimyos of each village did nothing about this situation, but they were indeed helpless.
Their influence is indeed high, but influence cannot produce food.
Now the only ones who can provide food for the people are the Beasts Pirates. If you boycott the Beasts Military Factory, you are destroying the rice bowls of all the people!
If you dare to shout the slogan "Kaido get out of Wano Country" today, believe it or not, there will be "patriotic patriots bravely stabbing the traitor" tomorrow!
While the Beasts Pirates built a large number of factories, they also opened schools around the factories. All teenagers under the age of ten can enter the school to study.
Of course, this requirement is not mandatory, but the condition that the school can provide students with three meals a day for free is an irresistible temptation.
The adults in Wano Country went from resisting at the beginning to scrambling for it later. In just a few months, nearly 90% of the population of Wano Country depended on the Beasts Pirates.
There were also many interesting things, such as some schools had many teenagers who were two meters tall and eight years old.
Of course, these "gifted" "teenagers" are naturally not suitable for studying in ordinary schools. Soon, the Beasts Pirates sent them to better places for further study.
At this point in the plan, Elbart's first step in transforming Wano Country can be declared successfully completed.
Soon, with the arrival of a light snow, Wano Country's traditional festival, the New Year's Spring Festival, is also approaching.
Under Elbart's advocacy, many festivals in Wano Country were squeezed out by various overtime, only the New Year's Spring Festival was able to "escape".
After learning about Elbart's preferences, Kurozumi Orochi also specially ordered people to start preparing a grand commemorative event.
During this period before the Spring Festival, Kaido also issued a captain's order to all forces flying the flag of the Beasts Pirates, requiring their main leaders to arrive in Wano Country in mid-December to attend the first general cadre meeting of the Beasts Pirates.
In the past two years, due to the rapid expansion of the Beasts Pirates, in addition to the six squads of the team, a large number of vassal pirate groups have also been accepted in the New World.
These pirate groups have a high degree of freedom. Although their territories have to pay a large amount of additional taxes, they can also get the protection of the Beasts Pirates. Of course, they cannot enjoy the various benefits within the team.
Kaido's way of treating these vassal pirate groups is basically to let them run freely. Except for sometimes standing up for them, he does not interfere much.
There are even many vassal pirate groups that have never seen Kaido. They probably only know one or two cadres who have met him once in the Beasts Pirates.
Therefore, Kaido may not have the intention of integrating forces at this cadre meeting.
Such a big move naturally spread across the sea quickly, and the various forces at sea immediately paid close attention to this large-scale assembly.
The Flying Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates immediately withdrew their troops and secretly became alert to the Beasts Pirates.Come.
The BIG MOM Pirates secretly maintained a relaxed state on the outside and a tight state on the inside. Charlotte Linlin even invited Kaido and Albert to a New Year's tea party.
As for the Roger Pirates, they reacted the most "slowly" to the news. The group was still drinking and having banquets all day long.
The Navy secretly held a small meeting.
"The first general cadre meeting of the Beast Pirates?"
Zeffa looked at the information handed over in front of him and frowned and said, "According to the news from CP, hasn't the Beast Pirates been messing with the internal affairs of Wano Country? Holding a large meeting at this time... Could it be that they have already dealt with Wano Country?"
Wano Country is not a small country. It is also one of the most powerful countries in the New World and even in the world.
If the Beasts Pirates have really conquered Wano Country, then Zephyr is a little scared when he thinks about their expanded strength...
"According to the current situation, even if the Beasts Pirates have not conquered Wano Country, at least they have freed up their hands, otherwise Kaido would not have summoned those independent captains scattered outside to go to Wano Country for rectification." Sengoku pointed to the intelligence and said.
After that, he handed another character's intelligence to everyone in the conference room.
"Is this... our people in the Beasts Pirates?" Garp scratched his head and said.
"Well, in name..."
Hearing Sengoku's words, Zephyr seemed to understand something, and he asked puzzledly: "But it shouldn't be effective if he alone, Sengoku, just tell me what your plan is!"
"Do you still remember the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea' plan that the World Government planned to implement last time?"
