Wano Country, Flower Capital.
Ever since Kurozumi Orochi's death, Kaido had brazenly moved into the Shogun's Palace. The members of the Beast Pirates had also poured into the Flower Capital to settle down, causing the city's public security to plummet...
Now, aside from the Flower Capital, which still retained the most basic commercial and trade system, everyone else in Wano Country had become slaves in weapons factories. From ninety-year-old elders to eight-year-old children, all of them had to work in the factories, leaving early and returning late every day.
The only fortunate thing was that compared to Kurozumi Orochi's reckless, ruinous exploitation, the factory system established by Doflamingo was far more humane. It fully adhered to the principle of "sustainable utilization"...
The workers in the factories only needed to work from eight in the morning until eleven at night before they could clock out and go home to sleep. Other than Wano Country's annual Fire Festival, they had no days off all seven days of the week.
Although this 715 work schedule left every slave in the factories exhausted beyond measure, it also ensured that every household could eat a full meal and would not starve to death.
As for whether the food was good... was that something a slave could even think about?
If they wanted a better life, they could only sign up for the Beast Pirates' rookie recruitment tournament. They had to rely on their exceptional strength to stand out from the many contestants and successfully join the Beast Pirates. Otherwise, they could only remain slaves for the rest of their lives, working endlessly without rest!
Therefore, in the eyes of Wano Country's millions of slaves, becoming a member of the Beast Pirates was absolutely something to envy. It represented the chance for themselves and their families
