At the same time.
Flower Capital, in a courtyard less than a kilometer away from the temporary municipal building, will leave for Onigashima tomorrow to participate in the construction of Marine Base Kozuki Hiyori, Denjiro, Ashura Doji and several warriors who were loyal to the Kozuki Clan and wanted to help Kozuki Hiyori restore the country were sitting around under a tree in the yard.
A samurai in kimono quickly ran into the courtyard and came to Kozuki Hiyori. He bowed and said, "Lord Hiyori, Denjiro boss, Lord Asura!"
Denjiro was the first to ask, "What's the situation outside now?"
The samurai did not dare to hide it, so he told the news he had found out, "The Navy opened warehouses to release grain after several adults were put under house arrest. Except for Flower Capital, people in other areas have received relief from the Navy. In addition, the Navy has also issued a recruitment order. As long as you pass the interview and background check, you can become the future garrison Wano Country Marine Base soldiers not only receive a good salary every month, but also receive a year-end bonus at the end of the year."
"Also, Akira Marshal instructed Mayor Crocodile to promulgate a bill on land. From now on, all land in Wano Country will be directly managed and distributed by the navy. It will be distributed according to the population of each household in Wano Country. People do not have to pay any fees and only need to cultivate according to the next year. A very small part of the tax revenue is used to maintain the normal operation of Marine Base. In addition, I also heard that Mayor Crocodile will announce that Wano Country will be opened to the outside world in a week, introducing businessmen from other countries to cooperate in developing areas that have been destroyed by Beasts Pirates over the years!"
"Great!"
Hearing that the navy not only opened warehouses and distributed grain to relieve the people, but also promulgated a series of bills that were beneficial and harmless to the people, a warrior suddenly stood up excitedly, "All the land is distributed according to population, and there is no need to pay any fees. Then wouldn't our family--"
Before he finished speaking, the warrior suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly shut up and sat down.
Kozuki Hiyori didn't care about the warrior's reaction and asked the warrior who came to report the situation, "Is there anything else?"
The warrior nodded and recounted what had just happened in the city hall.
"What did you say?"
After listening to the samurai's story, Denjiro stood up suddenly and said in disbelief, "Crocodile called those nobles and wealthy men to the city hall not for a meeting? Instead, he executed them all?"
"Yes, when my subordinates came back, they happened to see the bodies of those noble and wealthy people being dragged out of the city hall!"
Denjiro raised his head and looked in the direction of the city hall, and said with an ugly face, "First there was the ban on knives, then the warehouses were opened to release grain, the Wano Country people were recruited, and the new land policy was implemented, and now the Flower Capital nobles and wealthy people were wiped out with iron-blooded means. Crocodile would never have thought of this, but that Navy Marshal!"
A warrior said blankly, "Boss Denjiro, I think the policies they implement are very good for the people of Wano Country. Do they have any bad effects?"
Denjiro's eyes flashed with weakness, he looked at Kozuki Hiyori and said softly, "Lord Hiyori, if they implement this set of policies, even if Kin'emon and the others return now, Wano Country will have no hope of restoring the country!"
Ashura Doji also sighed at this time, "Kozuki Toki's prophecy not only happened but was also brought forward. However, it was not the Nine Shadows from the Sky who changed all this! Denjiro is right. I know Crocodile to some extent. It is impossible for him to think of these policies. It must be that Navy Marshal!"
"Especially the land policy and conscription are definitely not something Crocodile, a former great pirate, could have thought up."
Having said this, Ashura Doji glanced at Kozuki Hiyori, "As long as this Navy Marshal reigns for one day, Wano Country will have no hope of returning to the country. What he possesses is not just strong strength., his methods of governing the country are also rare in the world. My intuition tells me that not only Wano Country, but also World Government may undergo earth-shaking changes under his influence in the future. We all need to be mentally prepared to welcome this new era that belongs to him!"
Hearing this, Kozuki Hiyori fell silent.
She is not a woman with big breasts and no brains. This series of policies implemented by the Navy can be said to be of no harm to the people of Wano. However, once these policies are implemented, if the Kozuki family wants to survive, they will have to give up their status as the monarch since the founding of Wano and live on this land as equals with the majority of Wano people.
It doesn't matter to her, as long as the people of Wano can have a happy and beautiful future under the protection of the navy, she doesn't mind giving up her identity as the princess of Wano. After all, over the years, she has long given up her so-called identity as the princess of Wano, and in order to survive, she changed her name to Xiaozi and became a famous Oiran Geisha in Wano.
Although Denjiro has been secretly protecting her all these years and has not been tampered with, in the eyes of the uninformed people, she is a geisha rather than a princess.
Therefore, she has long since given up on her identity!
To be precise, she had already given up her identity as a princess from the moment when her retainer Kawamatsu rescued her and escaped through the waterway when she was young.
If Wano Country is reborn from despair under the management of the navy, she doesn't mind what her identity is.
The reason why she remained silent was because she was worried about her brothers Kozuki Momonosuke, Kin'emon and others who were sent to the future by her mother through Time-Time Fruit ability.
According to time calculation, Kozuki Momonosuke and Kin'emon will appear in a few years.
What she has to do is to find these people as soon as they appear and tell them what happened to Wano Country. Otherwise, she can be sure that Kin'emon and others will do whatever it takes to help her brother Kozuki Momonosuke regain his country without knowing it.
In this way, based on what she knows so far, it is not difficult to conclude that once Kozuki Momonosuke, Kin'emon and others launch a restoration plan, they will only be greeted with a more bloody suppression than Crocodile's execution of those noble and wealthy people Flower Capital.
It may even involve everyone being liquidated.
Because Akira Marshal has given them a chance!
Seeing that Kozuki Hiyori was silent, a warrior who thought Kozuki Hiyori was a little unwilling suddenly said, "Actually, Kozuki Clan has a way to restore his former glory!"
"What can I do?" the other two warriors said in unison.
Ashura Doji and Denjiro frowned immediately. However, before they could stop them, the warrior turned his attention to Kozuki Hiyori and said confidently, "According to what I know, that Navy Marshal is still single!"
"Over the years, countless rich and noble people have fallen in love with Lord Hiyori's beauty, and even Kurozumi Orochi--"
"Presumptuous!"
Before the samurai could finish speaking, Denjiro stood up abruptly and subconsciously raised his hand to pull out the samurai sword at his waist, but missed the opportunity.
After realizing that his samurai sword had been confiscated due to the sword ban, he grabbed the samurai by the collar and said in a deep voice, "If you keep talking nonsense here, I will twist your head off!"
