In the territory of Wano Country that changes every day, whether it is the Kuri area, the Udon area, or the Kibi and other areas, military camps are rising from the ground, and in each military camp, the recruited recruits are being trained.
The urban and rural ports outside the military camps are also very lively, because the construction of Wano Country Marine Base requires a large number of workers and various materials required for construction. Wave after wave of workers go to and from major ports, and a steady stream of people pour into Onigashima.
There is also an endless stream of boats carrying materials needed for the construction site. Whether they are boatmen, construction site workers or other handymen, everyone has a happy smile on their face.
The reason is very simple. The Navy has not defaulted on their salaries. They are settled on a daily basis. The more work they do, the more they will get.
Similarly, the land allocated to the people according to population after unified planning by the navy is also a prosperous scene. The land that was once reduced to wasteland has been reclaimed by the villagers who were allocated the land. The land itself is farmland and is even more overcrowded. Almost all women have walked out of their homes and poured into the farmland to sweat for a better future.
During this period, the gangster associations in various areas of Wano Country were also swept away by the navy with thunderous force. Those who had committed capital crimes were all executed without exception, and those who had not committed capital crimes were all sent to the construction site for labor reform.
Under the management of Crocodile, the first mayor of Wano Country, Navy Marshal, who mastered the art of dragon slaying, was on hand to make suggestions, coupled with the super strong execution of naval soldiers. Now, Wano Country, which was completely damaged by Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido, is recovering at an astonishing speed and is heading towards a glorious future.
It is no exaggeration to say that in Wano Country at this time, from Akira, the Marshal who monopolized the power of the navy, to the first mayor Crocodile, down to the ordinary people were not idle.
Not only the adults, but also the children of Wano Country are not idle at home, let alone wandering in the streets.
Because the bill promulgated by the first mayor Crocodile included the education issues of Wano Country children, under the instruction of Akira, one school after another was completed through the renovation of ready-made buildings, and the construction of primary schools in major villages and towns was also put on the agenda.
The hand-copied versions of Akira, Disciples Rules, Three Character Classic, and the Thousand-Character Essay have all been printed into books and serve as enlightenment books for all children in Wano Country.
In less than two days, the streets and alleys were already filled with the sounds of children reciting words such as "People are inherently good by nature", "It is the fault of parents who fail to raise their children" or "Disciples Rules Sage's Instructions".
Wano Country The people's thoughts must be educated, Wano Country The next generation must also develop in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical education, and art.
After this busy time, Crocodile felt that he couldn't bear it any longer, and inexplicably began to miss the carefree days when he was a pirate.
At the beginning, he really enjoyed it, after all, Wano Country was the first mayor.
The most important thing is that Lord Marshal did not give this position to Gion, nor to Mihawk or Jinbe, which shows that he highly recognizes his ability in this area!
But as he continued to do it, Akira, who had clearly promised not to interfere, kept increasing the intensity on him.
The key is that he can't complain because his Lord Marshal is busier than everyone else.
In addition to enlightenment books such as Three Character Classic Disciples Rules and the Thousand Character Essay, Akira also personally compiled a set of perfect teaching materials for the school established by Wano Country.
Not only that, Akira also asked Gion to record the eighth set of radio gymnastics for school recess and morning exercises.
Akira It doesn't matter if they are busy themselves, as their subordinates, their legs will be broken.
Not to mention their municipal team, this little lolita Perona was also assigned to a suitable position by Akira to do the work of a messenger. One moment she drifted into Akira's Fleet Admiral's Office, and the next moment she floated to the mayor's office.
Because Akira had to write various teaching materials and plan for the future of Wano Country, he stayed up very late to rest. Then every night in the dead of night, the staff on duty at the municipal building would see a "ghost" rising and falling from time to time, which caused some staff who had applied for the job to be frightened and had to go home to find their mothers.
In Fleet Admiral's Office, Akira picked up a compiled biography.
"Lord Marshal, here I come."
Before Akira could speak, Perona immediately floated to the desk and took the handwritten biography. He said with a serious expression, "There is a new news. Those Underworld emperors will arrive at Wano Country tomorrow morning. Also, Gion Admiral wants you to rest early."
"Almost too busy."
Akira smiled and nodded, "Go ahead and give this biography to Crocodile."
"Okay~"
Perona responded obediently, held the handwritten biography in his arms and floated out.
Soon, Perona arrived at the mayor's office.
"What is this?"
Looking at the handwritten biography that Perona put on his desk, Crocodile's mouth twitched wildly, and he swallowed speechlessly. "Lord Marshal hasn't rested yet?"
Perona blinked, "Lord Marshal said we are almost busy!"
Hearing this, Crocodile suddenly felt weak and couldn't help complaining. "He said this sentence no less than ten times today!"
Complaints are complaints, Crocodile still honestly picked up the handwritten biography and read it.
"Huh? What is this?"
Unexpectedly, what Perona sent was a biography that had nothing to do with work. Crocodile couldn't help being stunned.
With a hint of doubt, Crocodile turned to the first page.
There are only five words on the first page:
--People's War.
"Akira Marshal Did you get the wrong one?"
Looking at the five words that came into view, Crocodile blinked blankly, then picked up the cigar from the ashtray and held it in his mouth.
Although I am confused, it is not a bad thing to take this opportunity to take a rest.
In order to take a break from the busy schedule, Crocodile continued to turn to the second page.
As he watched, Sand Crocodile, who was holding a cigar in his mouth, could no longer take his eyes away. He gradually became addicted to it, and it was as if some kind of will had been awakened, making his blood boil inexplicably.
"Bulu Bulu..."
At this moment, the Den Den Mushi placed next to him rang.
"Sand Crocodile?"
Before Crocodile could react, Akira's voice came from Den Den Mushi, "Have you finished reading the biography?"
Hearing this, Crocodile secretly took a deep breath, put the cigar in his mouth back into the ashtray, immediately sat up straight, and asked tentatively, "The protagonist in the biography... is a certain Affiliated Nation king, or is he?"
"It's not a certain Affiliated Nation king," Akira explained, "He doesn't even exist in this world, but it doesn't matter, because he once said that we young people are the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning."
"You are no exception."
"So, I want you to use Wano Country as a pilot, ignite this spark, and change the future together with me."
"I believe that with your help, a single spark will start a prairie fire, and the sun's rays will illuminate the whole world."
Although the voice slowly coming out of Den Den Mushi was calm and gentle, it was like thunder on the ground, causing Crocodile's pupils to shrink involuntarily.
The words seemed to contain infinite magic power, making Crocodile irresistible and giving rise to goosebumps all over his body.
After a short silence, Crocodile picked up the cigar, took a deep puff, and asked, "Why did Lord Marshal choose me?"
"Because you are Sha·Crocodile!"
