The next morning.
Wano Country, Momonga, Strawberry and Vice Admiral led their respective subordinates and walked neatly on the forest path leading to Flower Capital.
Behind them, Queen of the Pleasure District Stussy, wearing a white hat, pink dress and white shawl, carried her beloved handbag with her. She looked around from time to time, obviously very curious about everything about Wano Country.
As one of the Underworld emperors, although she has a huge intelligence network in her hands, she often interacts with the former Yonko Charlotte Linlin and Yonko She has had contact with Kaido, but she has not personally stepped into Wano Country. Her understanding of Wano Country is limited to the relevant information collected.
Following closely beside him was News King Morgans who maintained the form of an albatross beastman.
Similarly, Morgans is also very curious about everything around him.
Of course, this was not the first time he came to Wano Country. The reason why he was curious was because he found that everything here was different from before.
Especially the land outside the woods. The last time he came to Wano Country, there was almost no arable land in many areas of Wano Country. As far as he looked, it was desolate and dilapidated.
However, at this time, most of the former wasteland outside the woods had been reclaimed, and figures of people flickered in the reclaimed land from time to time, accompanied by hearty laughter.
"Morgans, Wano Country, why do you give me such a strange feeling?"
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a fat head, big ears, and a long and pointed nose came to Morgans with a bottle of red wine, and said in a rough voice, "If I remember correctly, the last time we came to Wano Country, there were desolate and dilapidated places everywhere, and the haunts were either old people and children scavenging, or some thieves, but now--"
After a slight pause, the middle-aged man looked around again, with a look of disbelief in his eyes, "How long has it been since the Navy arrived at Wano Country? It actually brought this country back to life in such a short period of time!"
Gibson, the king of the warehousing industry who is one of the Underworld emperors, not only controls the material center of Underworld, but his warehouse is also filled with all kinds of contraband. From the rubbings of Poneglyph to some of the design drawings of Ancient Weapon, he has almost everything.
The most important thing is that Gibson, like Stussy, possesses some important information. Even if Revolutionary Army wants to obtain some special information, he has to come to him to trade with him.
"It's really unbelievable," Morgans nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "I originally thought that the Navy was just building Marine Base in Wano Country, but I didn't expect that they would build Marine Base in Wano Country. has also changed together. Of course, if this was done before, let alone building Marine Base at Wano Country, it would be almost impossible for the navy to invade Wano Country!"
"So all this stems from the fact that Marine Headquarters gave birth to the amazing Marshal!"
As soon as Morgans finished speaking, another middle-aged man with fat head and big ears wearing a coat came over. Unlike Gibson who was holding a bottle of red wine in his hand, this middle-aged man had no wine in his hand, but he had a cigar in his mouth.
After glancing at Morgans and Gibson, the middle-aged man took a deep breath of his cigar, shook his head and said, "It's really amazing! However, compared to Marshal, I prefer to call him--"
"Navy King!"
Duffield, King of Loan Sharks, Grand Line are well-deserved financial emperors who control countless forces with usury. Even Holy Land and some Celestial Dragons who are above him owe him favors and play the game of money to the extreme.
Not only that, Duffield also used money to infiltrate the Navy and Revolutionary Army. At that time, it fully funded the "SSG" project of Vegapunk. It has a close relationship with the Vinsmoke Family, who is known as the murderous clan in Beihai. Over the years, it has been secretly providing financial support to the Germa Kingdom, which is ruled by the Vinsmoke Family.
It is no exaggeration to say that he was the only underground emperor besides Stussy and Queen of the Pleasure District who did not panic when he received the invitation letter from Marine Headquarters Marshal.
However, as the Beasts Pirates army led by Kaido was destroyed, and Kaido and Charlotte Linlin were executed by the iron-blooded Navy Marshal, he He began to panic. Even though he had a good personal relationship with Mr. Vinsmoke Family, Vinsmoke·Judge, and had been providing financial support to him over the years, he had to reassess the situation.
However, before he could take a breath, he received explosive news that almost made him vomit three liters of blood through Celestial Dragons, who owed him a favor through Holy Land. The two former Five Elders secretly instigated Pierro and Yumit to support Holding Beasts Pirates, thereby arousing the thunderous wrath of Marine Headquarters's iron-blooded Marshal. Not only was Navy Marshal rushed to Holy Land and killed him in public, but the Celestial Dragons family of the two former Five Elders was also bloodbathed.
What shocked him the most was that Holy Land's response to such a big event that shocked the past and present was not to immediately suppress Navy Marshal, but instead chose to block the incident!
He no longer has to think about what this means!
From the moment he got the news of the explosion, the last luck in his heart disappeared in an instant. What he had to do next was to follow the trend of the times. Even if he had to bear all his wealth, he must hold on tight to this thigh.
Money can be earned again once it is gone, but nothing will be lost when a person dies. After all, Yumit and Pierro have given them a very good example.
"Stussy, do you think we can leave Wano Country alive this time?"
Without waiting for Gibson and Morgans to react, Duffield immediately turned his head and looked at Stussy who was keeping a little distance from them, "Although he spent a lot of time sending Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral Zhang's bringing us to Wano Country is enough to show that he will not kill us, but who knows, after all, his iron-blooded reputation has been spread in Underworld. If we are not careful, our visit to Wano Country will never come back!"
Hearing this, Stussy turned back and glanced at Duffield, smiled and said, "Feel lucky that you are still alive to ask this question, Mr. Duffield!"
At this moment, the navy soldier walking in front suddenly slowed down.
"Huh?"
Seeing all the soldiers raising their hands in salute, the pupils of the four Underworld emperors suddenly shrank.
Just when a few people were confused, a childish voice suddenly came from the road ahead, "All of you, salute the righteous Lord Navy!"
"Loyal!"
A neat and loud voice came suddenly, attracting the attention of the four Underworld emperors.
Looking around, I saw several teenagers in their twelfth or thirteen years old standing at the exit of the woods. They were standing straight on the roadside and saluting the navy soldiers with their hands raised.
Not only these teenagers, but in a newly reclaimed farmland not far away, a little girl carrying firewood also raised her dirty little hands at this time, looking at the naval soldiers with eyes full of respect, and even more of yearning.
Under the surprised gazes of the four Underworld emperors, the navy soldiers walking in front not only did not ignore them, but stopped neatly, then turned around to face the children and raised their hands in return.
Seeing the navy soldier returning the gift, the children immediately laughed happily and ran out as if they had eaten honey.
Seeing this scene in his eyes, Morgans, who is a member of Big News Morgans, narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed, "I thought it was Wano Country who had changed. In fact, that is not entirely true. What has really changed is the navy under the command of Akira Marshal."
"The so-called teacher of the king is nothing more than this."
