Chapter 428: Planting
Somewhere in the vastness of the New World, the ship of the Redheaded Pirates set sail.
They have already become famous in the New World.
Shanks' bounty has skyrocketed to 1 billion 179 million belly!
"He killed... Kaido?"
On the deck, Shanks was standing, holding a newspaper in his hand, looking at the contents of the paper in a slightly distracted manner.
As a cabin boy for Roger's Pirates, he had encountered the Beast Pirates more than once.
Although the Beast Pirates were certainly weaker than the Whitebeard Pirates, and each encounter ended with their defeat and escape, but the strength of the Kaido Beast itself was beyond question!
This monster is incredibly difficult to kill!
Moreover, after Roger's death, Kaido's strength has increased to such an extent that he shouldn't be much weaker than Whitebeard.
But such a monster still fell at the hands of the Traveler!
Yeruashi was much stronger than he could have imagined!
"No wonder even the World Government decided to back down before him..."
Beckman took a puff on his cigarette and raised his head to the sky, exhaling clouds of smoke.
After the destruction of the Holy Land of Marijoa, the World Government's attitude toward the Traveler became extremely strange.
Initially, they thought that the Traveler might have made some kind of secret agreement with Gorosei, but it seems that everything was different....
Yeruashi has absolute power, enough even to suppress the World Government!
In other words...
The World Government was afraid of the Traveler!
It was simply unbelievable, because even Golden Roger couldn't pull something like this off!
But now, if we carefully consider all the actions of the Traveler and the behavior of the World Government, we can confidently say that this is very likely!
The World Government... Frightened by the power of the Traveler!
"We've just entered a New World, and he's already going to conquer it..."
Shanks put down the paper and sighed helplessly, "We have to speed up."
...
Along with the news of Kaido's death, the confrontation of the various New World forces became even more fierce.
Among these numerous forces, the Whitebeard Pirates controlled the largest territories, and all who dared to invade them were mercilessly crushed.
This continued until most of the New World forces 'lost the desire' to engage in conflict with the Whitebeard Pirates.
The Whitebeard Pirates were followed by the Big Mama Pirates, who defeated many different New World forces, in the course of Totto Land's aggressive expansion, which contributed greatly to them.... Absorbing the remnants of the Beast Pirates!
With the addition of Plague Queen and Fire King, the power of Big Mama's Pirates has increased dramatically, almost matching Whitebeard's Pirates!
Watching how the division of the New World territories is progressing, many came to the conclusion that in the end there will be a maximum of four major forces, three of which have already been almost completely formed.
Now, none of the forces dare to easily provoke these New World monsters!
Big Mom' Charlotte Linlin!
'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate!
Y...
'Traveller' Yeruashi!
Although, unlike the Whitebeard Pirates and Big Mama, there were no massive forces under Traveler's command, but there was an argument that more than covered for this significant disadvantage.
Personal power.
Although the Traveler is a loner, but thanks to his enormous personal strength, he was even more terrible than Big Mom's Pirates!
Most of the New World forces would prefer to challenge the Whitebeard Pirate or Big Mama, rather than face the Traveler.
Because the personal strength displayed by the Traveler at this time can only be described in one word....
Incomprehensible!!!
No one could say exactly what the limit of this person's strength was!!!!
Although the Traveler had recently gained fame, but with every step he took, the whole sea was shaking with fear!
The fourth and last great power of the New World has not yet been determined.
Many people were of the opinion that some experienced Whitebeard -era pirate would take fourth place, but some were optimistic about a team of very young pirates who were gaining fame at an astonishing speed.... Pirates of the Redhead!
...
The country of Wano.
While the conflict of the New World forces was becoming increasingly fierce, the Wano Country, on the other hand, was calming down.
Having received the support of Yeruashi, the supporters of the Kozuki Family defeated Orochi without any trouble.
Although according to the traditions of the Wano Country, a woman cannot inherit the office of Shogun, but when Orochi came to power, the Daimyos of different regions of the country were destroyed.
Therefore, the system according to which the Shogun heads the Wano Country, whose different regions are under the control of the Daimyo, was completely destroyed.
Together with the fact that no one could be completely sure of Momonosuke's return after twenty years, the samurai of Wano Country supported Kozuki Hiyori, the only daughter of Kozuki Oden, as the new Daimyo.
Hiyori then became the Daimyo of the entire Wano Country, and the position of Shogun was left vacant.
If Momonosuke appears in the future, he will inherit the position of Shogun, otherwise, this position will be liquidated and only the position of Daimyo of Wano Country, passed down through the Kozuki Hiyori line, will remain.
As for the man who killed the Kaido Beast and stood behind Hiyori, supporting the rebellion against Orochi, in a sense he took the place of the late Kaido.
Because just like Kaido in the past, Yeruashi has become a kind of exalted patron of the country, above the state system.
Now Yeruashi has the highest authority in Wano Country.
...
The center of the flower capital.
The castle, formerly owned by Orochi, was rebuilt into the residence of the Daimyo.
Yeruashi was seated at a table in the center of a spacious, open room.
On opposite sides of him sat Hiyori and Robin, dressed in a kimono.
Ashura Doji, Kawamatsu, Denjiro and other servants of the Kozuki Family knelt before them.
"If you really want to open Wano Country to the world, then..."
Yeruashi took a glass of wine from the table and sighed as he looked at Denjiro and the others kneeling in front of him.
Opening Wano Country to the world was a dream of Kozuki Oden's.
After Orochi was overthrown and Hiyori took over as Daimyo, Denjiro and the others began to discuss opening Wano Country, but to do something like this, you must first get Yeruashi's approval.
"...When you do this, you will be able to sail the expanses of the sea under my flag."
Yeruashi nodded.
After receiving Yeruashi's approval, Denjiro and the others happily raised their heads, "Thank you, Lord Yeruashi!"
Although they are little aware of the situation outside Wano Country, they can still understand that it is very dangerous in the vastness of the sea.
The discovery of Wano Country means facing the dangers coming from the outside world, and allowing Yeruashi to use the Traveler's flag means that they will be under his patronage and protection!
Although they didn't know what position Yeruashi holds in the outside world, but the ability to kill Kaido with a single blow means he's definitely on top!
With Yeruashi's flag, their outings to the sea will be many times safer!
"You can go now."
Yeruashi took a sip of wine and turned to Denjiro.
Denjiro and the others bowed respectfully to Yeruashi once more, then quickly left the room.
Only three people remained in the spacious room.
Hiyori, Robin and Yeruashi.
"Mr. Yeruashi..."
At that moment, Hiyori suddenly stood up, seriously stood in front of Yeruashi and knelt down, "Thank you for everything you've done for the Kozuki Family and the Wano Country!"
Killing the Kaido beast, supporting the rebellion against Orochi and making her Daimyo, and now the permission to open the country and even use its flag.
Although Hiyori was only eight years old, she could still realize how great and meaningful Yeruashi's help was.
It would be very hard for her to repay this.
"Get up."
Yeruashi smiled and stood up, "After all the major political issues have been resolved, I no longer intend to participate in this, you can leave it in the hands of your trusted servants for now."
Hiyori raised her head and looked at Yeruashi in surprise, "Mr. Yeruashi.... are you leaving already?"
"No."
Yeruashi shook his head and smiled, "Not yet.... I'm going to sow seeds now, do you want to take a look?"
"Sow seeds?"
Hiyori asked doubtfully.
