one year later.
The country of peace.
Dive into the harbor.
The disguised ship from the World Government separated from the waterfall and entered the channel. It went up to the submerged port through the elevator and waited there.
“I haven’t been here in the past six months, and it feels a lot more prosperous...”
A government official wearing a hat sighed, because in front of him, the territory had obviously expanded a lot, causing Qiangang, which was originally a small facility, to become a large port.
In front of the port, there are people coming and going everywhere, and there are stalls and shops everywhere. The Wano people wearing traditional clothes and carrying knives at their waists echo with the people wearing white navy uniforms. It is quite lively. of.
They have come here only to trade weapons from Wano. They have come here twice every six months.
It has been a year since Jin Ni took over Wano Country. Wano Country is officially mixed with the Navy G-3 Base. In other words, the G-3 Base is actually on an island below Wano Country, but Kuro himself, the recognized general of Wano Country as 'Jinzo Genchu', forcibly bonded the base with Wano Country. As a result, a base was simply built on the island below and used as an outpost, while in Wano Country The country didn't even build a fortress, but built forts around the country of Wano.
In the past year, no pirates have been able to enter Wano Country, which has caused the place to grow and develop. Because the sphere of influence from the World Government is too severe, Jin Yang has his own jurisdiction after sitting in Wano Country, including Private recruitment.
The navy that appears now are all newly recruited in the country of Wano and belong to the navy of the country of Wano.
"Damn it, there are so many navy here, why can't they help us deliver them? Jin Yang is getting more and more arrogant now."
Another World Government official looked at this bustling scene and said with some dissatisfaction: "Every time we come here, we have experienced hell. In the current world, those new people have grown up, including the Straw Hat Boy, the Pirate Admiral, and the Death Surgeon. Together with Blackbeard, the former 'Four Emperors', he became the real 'Evil Generation' and is now a prosperous existence on the sea, just like the previous Four Emperors. It's just because Jin Yang ended the era of the Four Emperors , so I didn’t call them ‘Emperor of the Sea’, but it’s almost the same.”
"Also on our way here, the pirate group composed of 'Fire Disaster' Jin and 'Plague' Quinn are like roadblocks, blocking our way here. We have to be careful every time we come here. Those Although the Shichibukai are conquering pirates in the New World, they can't do anything against them when they encounter this level. This guy Jin Ni didn't clean up the pirates in Wano Country, it's so abominable!"
"Not necessarily..."
The official who spoke first thought for a moment and said, "I heard that our seniors wanted to take people back by force, and were attacked by Jin who escaped at sea. This led to the formation of this pirate group."
"Forget it, don't think about it anymore... let's go trade first." The unhappy official shook his head, and everyone got off the boat together and headed in the same direction.
Although this was only the second transaction, the rules were known to them the first time. They would conduct weapons transactions at the designated warehouse in the Flower Capital. The World Government would pay a premium for materials to Wano Country, and Wano Country would hand over The weapons produced by the World Government.
As for why it is a premium...
They are just minions in charge of the transaction. They don't know what the big guys above are talking about. They are only responsible for bringing back the specified number of weapons.
"Speaking of which, it was so lively this time. It was not so lively last time." The government official sighed.
"I heard that it seems to be the custom of this country to pass the end of the year, so it is very lively, especially here in the Flower Capital. Maybe you can stay here for a few days and see the grand festival."
"Yeah?"
Several people were whispering there and walking towards a specific warehouse.
At this time, the location of the castle tower.
The castle tower of the Flower City is located on a giant tree that looks like a crescent moon. The giant tree is connected to a white peak that can almost pierce the sky. It remains standing all year round. The giant tree and the peak are symbols of Wano. After a year, the castle tower was also expanded and became taller and more luxurious.
The five-story castle tower has also been turned into a naval base, with a large number of navies filling the place to serve as offices and living places in this huge site.
At this time, in the castle tower, many marines were busy running back and forth for the upcoming new year, which, in the words of General Jin Ni, was the 'New Year'.
At this time last year, Wano held a festival. Although it was very lively, it was still a bit less prosperous than this year, especially since General Jin Ni said that he wanted to summon other navies to come to Wano to 'celebrate the New Year' together this year. , not just the generals, but all subordinates including the generals, even the odd jobs, can come together, which leads them to prepare to meet other navies.
The fifth floor, the main hall.
Crow, who had been in Wano for a year, had much longer hair than usual and was still combed into a meticulous adult look. He was standing there and said to the front: "Mr. Crow, we have been contacted When we got to Kuzan, he said he would come back this year.”
On the steps of the main hall, sitting on the futon, was a man who had hardly changed from last year. He had a handsome face under a somewhat messy middle-parted hairstyle, leaning on a lounge chair, biting a cigar.
"It's really hard to call him. Forget it, just come."
This person is Kuro, who has been resting in Wano for a year. Except for the epaulets on his cloak, which have been changed to a new style, he has not changed much.
It is basically impossible to change within a year.
However, he has not changed much, but the changes in the sea are still quite big.
First of all, Straw Hat has not yet become the Pirate King. It seems that he is still wandering around in the new world. From time to time, you can see news newspapers that he defeated so and so, and the limelight is even stronger. The same names as him are Kidd and Luo. These three people There were even conflicts on the sea, and Tiqi, who had been rarely seen for a year, formed a new world and a new scenery, replacing the old four emperors.
They replaced the old four emperors as the new big pirates, and Kuro was not surprised at all.
After all, just last year, these people caused a stir in Wano Country, and Straw Hat even defeated Kaido.
However, this has nothing to do with Kuro.
He shouldn't be too comfortable in Wano Country. With this unique geographical location and Kuro's ability, there are pirates who want to take advantage of the troubled waters to fish in troubled waters, but they can't even go up to the Carp Falls. Occasionally, there are strong ones who dare to come up. Yes, it was basically knocked over halfway by Kuro using his abilities. In addition, Kuzan will come back from time to time. This guy actually got a position in Wano Country. When he is tired from traveling, he will come back and stay for a few days before leaving. During those few days, he can take care of things that pop up around him. of pirates.
A current general and a former general ensure the most basic security of Wano.
And the superiors now have no other requirements for him except weapons. Even if sometimes the superiors appoint him to solve the matter about the Tianlong people, Kuro will just say that he wants to guard the country of Wano and send him away. He doesn't take it seriously at all. Wano touches its own fish.
Although his position was a bit higher and he attracted a lot of people's attention, Kuro finally achieved his goal, and looking to the future, he will stay in Wano Country for a long time.
As soon as he was in a good mood, he took advantage of the New Year and with a wave of his hand, he was ready to invite his subordinates scattered across the sea, and even the navy he was familiar with, to come to the country of Wano to celebrate the New Year.
