Kyoshiro resisted the urge to beat Hanzo up, silently rolling his eyes. He didn't want to say another word to this idiot, lest he be infected by his stupidity and assimilate into a low-IQ moron like him.
The entire Bianli Village has undergone earth-shaking changes. The ground is paved with gravel, and the original low shacks on both sides of the road have been demolished and rebuilt into neat and orderly detached houses, which look elegant and dignified.
Seeing a group of villagers gathered ahead, Kyoshiro had an idea. He pushed his way through the other villagers and went to the front. He saw a propaganda document posted on the wall, with a title written in bold black font:
"Initiative to Integrate the Land of Peace into the New World Prosperity Sphere"
"What is this?"
Kyoshiro's performance was so bad it made everyone numb.
Chapter 229 Do you know the benefits of chaos? It brings fairness.
"The country is the people, and the people are the country."
"The state is established for the people, but the people do not live for the state."
"It is not the shoguns and daimyo of Wano Country who granted the people the right to live, but rather it is because there are millions of people living on this land that a privileged class exists, and that the shoguns and daimyo of Wano Country exploit and oppress them!"
"The people have the right to pursue a better life. Everyone should have food to eat, clothes to wear, and education to attend. Whoever blocks the people's path to a better life is the enemy of the people."
"The reason we say we want to overthrow the rule of Kaido and Orochi is not just to change the rulers. We want to create a completely new system where every citizen has the right to cast their sacred vote and elect the person they believe is most suitable to be the ruler..."
After carefully reading through the "Initiative to Integrate Wano Country into the New World Co-Prosperity Sphere," Kyoshiro was greatly shocked.
Kyoshiro was a native Japanese who received education on loyalty to the emperor and patriotism from a young age.
In Kyoshiro's mind, the Kozuki family is the rightful royal family of Wano Country, and Kozuki Oden is the king to whom he swore to serve him to the death. A subject would go through fire and water for his king without hesitation.
However, this proposal directly denies the legitimacy and rationality of the monarch, and bluntly points out that the people are the masters of this country, not the Kozuki family, not Kurozumi Orochi, and not Kaido of the Beasts.
For any samurai, this is nothing short of blasphemy!
If it were in the past, Kyoshiro might have been filled with righteous indignation and cleaved the proposal in two with a single stroke.
However, since Kozuki Oden's death, Kyoshiro, who infiltrated Orochi's inner circle, watched as the Nine Red Scabbards, who had once been loyal to Kozuki Oden, fell apart, and the samurai groups loyal to the Kozuki family were either imprisoned or killed in battle. Apart from feeling sad and nostalgic, the people of Wano Country did not feel any sense of shared hatred.
The reason why the people of Wano Country miss the past and the period when the Kozuki family ruled Wano Country is simply because at that time, everyone could still make a living and did not have to live hand to mouth like they do now, going hungry every two or three days.
However, it is highly questionable how loyal the people of Wano Country are to the Kozuki family.
It was precisely because of his experiences and reflections over the years that Kyoshiro, after the initial shock, suddenly had a sense of enlightenment, as if the clouds had parted to reveal the clear sky, and the many things he had not understood in the past seemed to have been answered.
The people are the true masters of this country!
Just as Kyoshiro was pondering, a furious roar suddenly rang in his ears:
"Bullshit! It's all bullshit!"
"This is a blatant disbelief in General Orochi, and such a thing must never be allowed to exist!"
Kyoshiro didn't even need to turn his head to know that it was Hanzo, that fat ninja, yelling and shouting.
Before Kyoshiro could stop him, Hanzo rushed forward with lightning speed, drew a strange weapon from his back, and tried to chop the petition on the wall along with the entire wall.
A small figure blocked Hanzo's path. Xiaoyu spread her arms and shouted:
"This is the culmination of Brother Yang Ming's hard work, I won't allow you to mess with it!"
Over the past few days, Xiaoyu, like other villagers, has joined the logging team. The wood she cuts down is used as resources to exchange for rice and meat from Carrera Company or the Dinosaur Merchant Guild. Her complexion is no longer as pale as before; it has gained some color, and she looks like a delicate porcelain doll.
"What the hell?"
Hanzang glanced at Xiaoyu, saw that she was a little girl who couldn't even kill a chicken, and didn't take her seriously, continuing to move at full speed.
However, Hanzo clearly underestimated the villagers' determination to protect this initiative.
Following Xiaoyu, one villager after another spontaneously stood shoulder to shoulder with her without any prompting, holding hands and forming a human wall that blocked Hanzo's way.
Unless Hanzo intends to wreak havoc here, there's no way he can cross this place.
Hanzo paused, his face, hidden behind his mask, looking extremely grim.
"You lowly people, do you even know what you're doing?"
"The contents of this proposal are all nonsense. Wano Country belongs to Lord Kaido of the Beasts and General Orochi, not to you lowly commoners!"
"Don't think that just because you have this navy backing you up, you've become bold and think you can become the masters of Wano Country. I can tell you solemnly that you are dreaming!"
"The Navy can't stay in Wano Country forever. Once this Navy leaves, think carefully about what will happen to you!"
Although Hanzo was rude and barbaric, he was still a member of the Orochi Oniwabanshu. Even if he had never eaten pork, he had at least seen it.
After this combination of intimidation and threats, some villagers did indeed waver and quietly broke away from the group.
Hanzo's eyes held a hint of mockery as he thought to himself:
"What a mob!"
"Do you think you can back down now? Once this navy leaves, I'll lead my men and slaughter this entire village!"
The villagers, of course, did not possess mind-reading abilities, and were completely unaware of the treacherous plot Hanzo was brewing.
They stepped forward for two reasons: firstly, Xiaoyu inspired them, and secondly, they had received favors from the navy and did not want their newly acquired good life to be disrupted.
However, the villagers also had their own agenda. When faced with Hanzo's intimidation, they were easily reminded of the cruel methods of the Beasts Pirates and the Kurozumi family, and naturally, they would back down.
To Kyoshiro's surprise, only a few people backed down; most villagers showed no intention of retreating, and their eyes were even more determined than before.
"We wronged Lord Yang Ming before, but we will never wrong him again this time!"
"That's right, Lord Yang Ming is a good man, what he says must be correct, we ordinary people must strive to be the masters of this country!"
"How foolish we were before, living a precarious life every day. It was Lord Yang Ming's arrival that brought hope for life and made us realize how wonderful it is to be alive. Even if I die today, I will never let you destroy this initiative!"
"We pledge to protect this initiative to the death!"
"Yes, drive away these scum from the General's Mansion!"
"Get them out of here!"
"Get out of here!"
"You are not welcome in Meigashi Village!"
The villagers were filled with enthusiasm, and their voices grew louder and louder.
The villagers who had just retreated looked ashamed and secretly rejoined the group, standing shoulder to shoulder with the others, holding hands with each other, as if forming an insurmountable human wall.
"You, you..."
Hanzo originally thought that a few intimidations would scare the villagers away.
This tactic has proven effective time and again in the past. Those timid and cowardly villagers are like rats in a ditch; they may seem numerous, but in reality, they are just a loose mass and cannot muster any strength.
But now, what is going on?
Why would the lowly people, who are usually bullied, suddenly have the courage to fight back?
"You lowly scum, do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"
Once Hanzo's murderous intent was aroused, he couldn't restrain himself at all and completely forgot about Ain's warning.
Having been used to lording it over others in Wano Country, Hanzo subconsciously equated Ain with the other women of Wano Country, assuming that she was just a weak and incompetent woman who was only giving him verbal warnings and would not actually do anything to him.
So, Hanzo made a move the next moment.
As quiet as a virgin, as active as a rabbit!
The rigorous training of ninjas honed Hanzo's cruel heart, and when he wielded his strange weapon, he would strike at the vital points of the nearest villagers.
Hanzo's eyes gleamed with excitement; he could almost see the image of these lowly people lying in pools of blood, their faces filled with despair and regret.
Unfortunately, he didn't notice that Ian had already followed him with a group of soldiers.
A flash of light appeared and disappeared.
Hanzo suddenly felt that the scenery in his vision was upside down, and he could even see parts of his own body.
Do not!
His head and neck have separated!
With a foot planted on Hanzo's head, Ain tilted her head to avoid the blood spurting from his neck, and said indifferently:
"As I just said, you are allowed to enter Amigasa Village, but you must not vandalize public property or beat or harm the villagers. Otherwise, you will be arrested and imprisoned in accordance with naval regulations."
The blade reflected a cold glint in Ain's eyes. She looked up at the group of men brought by Kyoshiro and Hanzo, her tone growing colder as she spoke:
"It seems you've been ignoring what I said."
"All teammates, listen up! Take them all down!"
With a wave of Ain's hand, Kuina and her group of marines pounced like tigers and wolves, engaging Kyoshiro and his companions in fierce combat.
This entire scene was witnessed by a man and a woman on the cliff.
Weapons clashed, swords flashed.
A fierce battle ensued, with blood splattering everywhere.
The sounds of clashing swords, falling corpses, and dying screams blended together, creating a complex symphony.
Yang Ming turned his head and looked at Momousagi Gion's stunningly beautiful face so close to his own, and could even see her beautiful eyelashes trembling slightly.
"Wano Country is like a microcosm of this world. The son of a shogun is a shogun, the son of a daimyo is a daimyo, and the son of a craftsman is a craftsman. It seems that everything is a predetermined fate, and no one can break this shackle."
"However, nothing in this world is actually constant."
“Create a little disturbance, disrupt the existing order, and then everything becomes chaotic, and I am the representative of chaos. Do you know the benefits of chaos? It can bring fairness.”
At this moment, the young general seemed to have become a chess player who could turn the tide at will.
