Now that Cocoyasi Village has been captured, it is impossible to just leave it alone.
This is not in line with the central idea of Spirit of Grass!
He Old Man Kakuzu is not like this lazy Leader Mang. If he comes here... if he gains nothing, then is he still him?
Therefore, early in the morning while others were still resting, he carefully observed Cocoyasi Village's situation and collected some information about Cocoyasi Village.
Not to mention that the geographical location of this island is quite good, and it can be used as the midpoint of the first half of the East China Sea.
If a navigation channel is to be established at this stage, this island would be quite suitable.
And it is also very close to Loguetown where the navy is stationed. In a strategic sense... you can advance and attack, and you can retreat and defend!
To be honest, it is not realistic to declare war with World Government at this stage. It would be much more difficult than sweeping Four Great Ninja Villages.
What's more...
If we declare war with World Government, we will probably become the enemy of the entire sea.
Their enemies are not only World Government, but also pirates and various World Government franchise countries. Therefore, this is not in the interest of Land of Grass.
Although they Land of Grass are useless, sell false information, and copy ninjutsu, in general... they are also... a peace-loving country!
What I like most is making friends with everyone, so why would I do something like this?
And if war is not declared, then Loguetown... the navy will not be able to give up.
Therefore, this Orange Island fits Land of Grass exactly.
Not too far, not too close!
only.
This island is so poor!
Although the oranges here are indeed good, there is no shortage of such things in the sea.
At the same time, under the rule of Arlong Pirates, the living standard in the village was also extremely poor. The per capita income level was almost zero, and they relied on fishing and oranges to make a living.
Real poverty~
Just.
Is there only Cocoyasi Village in this sea?
Here... this situation is so common!
Even from a certain aspect, the situation of Cocoyasi Village is pretty good. Many islands... After encountering pirates, not only their money was lost, but their lives were also lost.
The so-called Great Pirate Era... holds not only adventures and treasures, but also blood and bones buried in the sea!
Of course~
For Old Man Kakuzu, who had also experienced the war, he just felt a little emotional. This kind of thing could no longer cause any fluctuations in his heart.
Therefore, in order to develop Cocoyasi Village, early investment is necessary.
Pave roads and build houses!
Working for relief, fighting poverty, and leading Cocoyasi Village towards the path of common prosperity.
"..."
While Kusana was eating the secret orange jam, he looked at Old Man Kakuzu who kept talking and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
As expected of the old man Kusagakure!
Old Man Kakuzu, who is usually taciturn, also talks about this kind of things in a consistent way.
Didn't you see that Nojiko next to you was completely confused?
Nojiko blinked and said, "This..."
"Forget it! You will understand by then!" Old Man Kakuzu waved his hand expressionlessly and said, "Land of Grass will arrange professionals here to help you develop the economy."
Then he sighed helplessly and shook his head, "What a pity! There are still too few unique industries! How easy is it to develop just by relying on oranges? Originally, there was Arlong Park that could be used as a unique attraction!
When the time comes, follow the crew of Arlong Pirates to kill a few bronze fishmen and kneel directly in Arlong Park. I believe it can still attract many tourists! Not to mention the hateful villagers nearby, at least in this part of the East China Sea, very few people have seen a murloc! Let Cocoyasi Village also develop tourism~, what's wrong? Is what I said right? "
Having managed Kusagakure's business in the past few years, I still know a little bit about it!
Impossible~
The words fell.
"No~" Kusana twitched the corner of his mouth and shook his head.
It's just that at this time, there was something in his heart that he didn't know whether to say or not.
Then he exclaimed sincerely, "What a nice note!"
It's just a little weird!
As for Nojiko on the side...
"..."
Already silent and dumbfounded.
So, what kind of country is this Land of Grass?
How could you still come up with such a way to make money?
But to be honest, if there is one... she will definitely buy a ticket to see it then~
She even estimated in her heart that all the villagers who had been oppressed by Arlong Pirates would be like this!
However.
At this time.
Old Man Kakuzu sighed with regret and shook his head, "What a pity! Arlong Park has been destroyed! Even if it is rebuilt, it will not be as attractive as the original one!"
As he said that, he glared at Madara.
"It's all your fault, old guy! You're a prodigal! Do you know how much money this is wasting?"
"Hmph! Why do I need to tell you what I'm doing!" Ban, who was scolded for no reason, blushed slightly and snorted coldly, "I don't even bother to use such a boring little trick!"
"I didn't expect it, I just didn't expect it! Are you still stubborn? I didn't expect that Dangdang Madara Uchiha would be so stupid!"
"You guys... are you done yet?"
"I'm not done! What's wrong?"
"..."
Kusana looked helplessly at the two people who were arguing again.
Maybe they are ninjas from the old era~
How come these two people are so quarrelsome?
He shook his head and said helplessly, "Okay! Stop arguing! Everyone is watching!"
Especially here...
There are also the villagers of Cocoyasi Village!
They are all senior executives of Kusagakure, and their influence is not good~
At that time, I thought they Land of Grass were not a serious country!
After stopping the two of them, he looked at Old Man Kakuzu while eating orange marmalade and said, "It's not like there are no other products!" He raised the marmalade on his hand, "Actually, this one is quite good! It can be used as a by-product of oranges! I believe it will be a big seller!"
The words fell.
"???"
Bell-mère's marmalade?
Before the stunned Nojiko could react!
"Is this the orange jam?" Master Kakuzu on the side suddenly nodded and said, "I forgot about this!"
He frowned slightly, looked at the marmalade on the table, and pondered for a moment.
"Perhaps it is possible! If Factory Construction is mass-produced, it can also become a pillar industry in Cocosia, and at the same time deepen everyone's impression of Cocoyasi Village! But in this case, we have to give this marmalade an impressive name!"
After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Nojiko who was still in a daze.
"Little girl, since it's your marmalade, it's up to you to give it a name!"
"This..." Nojiko, who was in a daze when someone called her, said in a daze, "Bell-mère...'s marmalade?"
However.
The words just fell.
"Too common!" Kakuzu directly denied it, shook his head and said, "A good name can double sales!"
"That, that, that..." Nojiko shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "It's too sudden, I'm sorry! I don't know what to call it either~"
"How about I come and get it!"
"???" Nojiko was stunned, turned his head in surprise, and looked at Leader Mang with interest on his face. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly said, "Um... trouble, Leader Mang!"
"It's not troublesome!" Kusana waved his hand, then picked up the marmalade, frowned slightly and thought for a moment, then said, "I have heard your stories. Bell-mère is indeed an admirable hero and mother. Even for a daughter who is not related by blood, she still chose to sacrifice her life without hesitation!"
The words just fell.
Nojiko, who was stunned, also came to his senses, then showed a proud smile on his face, and said with slightly red eyes, "Yes! Bell-mère is a very amazing mother, Nami and I both think so!"
"No need to be sad, I believe Bell-mère will be proud of the growth of his two daughters! Although you are not related by blood, the bonds in your hearts have connected you together and become a real family!" Kusana nodded slightly and looked at with a smile. Nojiko said, "And this orange jam is a formula developed by Bell-mère. You are also proud of Bell-mère, the mother. In this case... why not call it Old Tangerine Mama~, to commemorate Bell-mère in your hearts!"
The words fell.
Laoganma?
Everyone on the side was stunned when they heard it, and then they all expressed their admiration.
"What a name!"
