With a new shogun in office, everything awaited rebuilding.
Almost all the policies established under Orochi's rule had been overturned, and large numbers of new policies were announced and implemented every day.
The sweeping reforms left officials across the regions sweating, and nearly a hundred officials were invited for tea by the Oniwabanshu every day.
In the shogun's office.
"Good, forty-six officials committed suicide last night by being stabbed in the back. These are the letters they left out of fear of punishment."
Daikoku respectfully reported on his work, a thick smell of blood hanging about him. His presence was more than ten times stronger than before.
He was now the commander of the Oniwabanshu, wielding immense authority, and the current Oniwabanshu were even more terrifying than before.
They had all but gone mad with killing!
Any official who refused to obey, or lacked ability yet refused to resign, met the same end as the Daimyo of the Various Regions.
Stabbed in the back, suicide out of fear of punishment!
The standard was simple: failing to carry out orders from Shogun's Castle within the allotted time was a capital offense.
Large numbers of officials committed suicide every day.
Now, what officials throughout Wano Country feared most was not the shogun, but the Oniwabanshu. Just hearing the words "have tea" could frighten them into collapsing on the spot. They even had to write their final letters in advance.
An invitation to tea? That was an invitation from the Grim Reaper!
They had considered banding together to resist, but the Oniwabanshu and the samurai patrols all answered to the shogun. Resistance would only get them killed faster!
"Ah, the pressure at work must have been too much."
"But that's all right."
"If they won't do it, plenty of others will."
Good sighed
