The development strategy for the Land of Wano over the next few years.
Everyone held their breath and waited seriously for Ares to plan their future.
"First, swordsmanship training must start with children. Throughout the Land of Wano, any swordsman who has reached the level of cutting steel or above may open a dojo independently."
"The children's lodging and food expenses will be paid from the treasury. Once these youths turn eighteen, they must serve in the military!"
"If they pay for themselves to study at a dojo, they may freely choose whether to serve."
"For these dojos to receive official recognition from the Land of Wano government, they must report to the local daimyo and undergo a swordsmanship assessment. Their swordsmanship must be outstanding..."
"Establish the Kendo Dojo Challenge Tournament!"
"Furthermore, hold a national Kendo Tournament once every five years!"
"The eventual victor will be awarded the 'Land of Wano's Strongest Swordsman' medal, along with rewards such as land, money, and an official position."
"Different rewards will also be established for the top ten."
"The dojos they belong to will also receive various honors and rewards!"
"After the Land of Wano opens its borders in the future, we'll invite powerful swordsmen from all over the world to participate, along with nobles, merchant guilds, and factions from various countries to watch."
"We'll turn this Kendo Tournament into the most famous, authoritative, fair, and impartial swordsmanship competition in the entire world!"
"When that time comes, the victor won't just be the Land of Wano's Strongest Swordsman, but the World's Strongest Swordsman!"
"..."
Ares knew that training swordsmen was an extremely costly undertaking, but the Land of Wano's conditions made it fertile ground for swordsmen.
Nurturing talented youngsters, swordsmen, and even great swordsmen would make the Land of Wano even stronger.
