Chapter 344 Wano Country, Gathering

Pong City, conference hall.

Fifty kings representing the member states of the World Government sat around a huge round table, arguing heatedly. If they weren't in a holy place, they might have rolled up their sleeves and started fighting.

The tense meeting has lasted for seven days.

However, the issue of how to deal with the revolutionary army remains ambiguous, as the financial and military resources of various countries differ greatly, and no one wants to suffer a loss.

The issue of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was quickly resolved, with over 90% of the kings agreeing to abolish the system, thanks to the new strength of the navy.

The world conference ended abruptly.

"It's impossible to expect those incompetent kings to come up with a concrete plan, but this is not bad either."

Loya scoffed and looked at Stussy.

"Was this tea party quite lively?"

"It's super lively! Those kids are really brave!"

Stussy smiled.

The tea party was a few days earlier than the World Conference, so she returned to the Holy Land in time for the World Conference.

At the tea party, Straw Hat Luffy, Trafalgar Law, Captain Kid, and many other Supernovas challenged Big Mom, and even Capone Bege betrayed her at a crucial moment.

In short, it was a complete mess.

If the location hadn't been in World of Warcraft, with Big Mom backed by a powerful army, the little devils might have actually succeeded.

Stussy pulled a rubbing from his chest: "Lord Loya, this is the main text of the Roadstone of the World, obtained in a trade with Trafalgar Law."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Loya took the rubbing.

"Next, you're going to Egherd, right?"

"Yes."

Stussy's expression changed slightly.

The World Government has discovered that Vegapunk is researching the Void Century and is preparing to eliminate him. She has been given the mission to assassinate him.

But Vegapunk was like a father to her, so she decided to betray the World Government.

She knew exactly what this meant.

Loya smiled slightly. If you want to get this shrewd woman under your thumb, you have to give her some kickbacks.

"Don't worry, I won't let the doctor die."

"Thank you, sir."

Stussy felt at ease.

The doctor's situation is extremely precarious, and at this point, the only person who can protect him is probably the man in front of him.

"It's time for me to set off!"

Loya got up and left.

The Fire Festival is about to begin, and he needs to go to Wano Country in person to deliver some New Year's gifts to his father-in-law before heading to Eghard.

On the desk, the latest newspaper published two photos.

[Trafalgar Law, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, forms an alliance with Straw Hat Luffy]

The Kid Pirates, the Radio Pirates, and the Hawkins Pirates form an alliance!

After the war at the tea party, the Supernovas realized their own inadequacy and spontaneously began to form an alliance.

The New World, on a certain island.

Kid Pirates Base.

The three captains sat together.

Kidd, newspaper in hand, grinned menacingly: "Straw Hat Luffy and Law, they're probably eyeing the heads of the Four Emperors just like us. The question is, who are they targeting!"

"Our target is redheads, and the probability of us having the same target is one in four."

"No, it should be one-third. Don't forget, [Emperor Flame] Ace is Straw Hat Luffy's sworn brother."

"If internal strife occurs, it will be detrimental to everyone!"

Ap and Hawkins were filled with gloom.

Just as the three captains were discussing their plans, the castle suddenly trembled violently, followed by a tremendous roar.

"What happened?"

"Was there an earthquake?"

"Report the situation immediately!"

Everyone staggered, startled by the sudden tremor.

"Captain, something has fallen down!"

"A huge hole has been smashed into the ground!"

"Could it be some kind of monster?"

As the smoke and dust dissipated, a huge human-shaped crater appeared before the pirates. When the world's strongest being crawled out of the crater, his imposing figure stood before the pirates.

The three captains were instantly drenched in sweat.

"Kaido of the Beasts!"

The most unexpected enemy has come knocking!

Several days later, in Wano Country.

A special warship without a flag sailed into the waterfall, passed through "Return to Port," and successfully arrived in Wano Country.

"Time to go home!"

Yamato looked at the familiar scenery and excitedly raised her arms. Since gaining her freedom, she was always happy to come back, after all, this was the home she had lived in for more than 20 years.

Loya, hands in his pockets, gave the order without turning his head.

"You guys go to Ghost Island first."

"Yes."

Wearing masks, Lucci and his companions immediately boarded a ship and headed to Onigashima, where the task of negotiating the arms deal fell to them.

This is a trivial matter, not something Loya needs to handle personally.

"let's go."

Half a day later, Loya sat on the top floor of General's City, with Acting General Robinzi making tea beside him.

"Sir, please have some tea."

"Um."

Loya took a sip of tea and exclaimed in admiration.

"I observed carefully on the way here, and Wano Country is now like a completely different country compared to before. This is all thanks to you."

"Thank you for your praise, sir. I was just doing as you instructed."

Robin kept his head down and didn't take credit.

"What's meant for you is yours. I'm not that petty."

Loya smiled and shook his head.

He entrusted Robin with four tasks: factory wastewater treatment, reclaiming wasteland for grain cultivation, building more factories, and suppressing bandits.

Two years later, these problems were not only properly resolved, but also improved even more than he had anticipated.

On his way here, he made a special trip to Caishen Town. In the past, the people there lacked food and clothing, and even fresh water was scarce. Now, at least they can eat their fill and afford clothes.

Most importantly, it provided more labor.

According to the pirates of the Beasts, the weapons factory is now so overcrowded that there aren't enough workers to go around, and even the people of Wano Country are vying to get jobs there.

The reason is simple: working in a weapons factory earns more money, enough to barely support one's family, and even enough to buy a new outfit and have a hearty dinner during the fire festival.

This is enough.

The people were eager to work, and the output and efficiency of the weapons factory increased by at least 100%, leaving the Beasts Pirates stunned.

Those barbarians had never seen anything like this before!

If it weren't for the limited steel production and the number of industrial facilities for manufacturing weapons, weapon production could have been further increased.

Robin's current status in Wano Country is second only to Kaido; even the top members of the All-Star team have to greet her with a smile.

This is a goddess of wealth!

Loya was not surprised at all.

If Wano Country is likened to a large company, then Orochi and the beasts are like those who live off their past achievements, operating with minimal efficiency, leading the company to the brink of bankruptcy.

Robin is essentially a top-tier CEO, managing both people's livelihood and business operations with ease, turning a near-bankrupt company into a profitable one and making it bigger and stronger.

Loya took out a treasure chest and placed it in front of Robin.

"This is your reward."

"This is?"

Robin opened the treasure chest with a puzzled look, and stacks of papers came into view. When he saw the ancient characters recorded on the papers, his eyes couldn't help but overflow with joy and shock.

It's the original historical text!

And there were at least a dozen servings!

Loya, holding his teacup, smiled and said, "These rubbings are what I've collected over the years. Knowing you'd be interested in them, I brought them along."

"Thank you, sir!"

Robin knelt with his knees together, his hands clasped on his thighs in a seated position, then placed his hands forward in a V-shape and leaned forward to touch his forehead to the ground.

This is the highest level of respect expressed in Wano Country.

Get out of the taxi as usual.

This gift touched her heart.

Loya smiled and waved his hand.

"There's no need for that, get up quickly."

"Um."

Robin straightened up, his face flushed with excitement.

After a brief hesitation, she moved over and sat down next to Loya, quietly snuggling against him and secretly stretching her white-socked feet out to his side.

"Um?"

Loya glanced at Robin, who was engrossed in reading the historical rubbings, and chuckled as he squeezed the woman's foot; it felt as good as ever.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

With the Fire Festival approaching, Wano Country is gradually becoming more lively, and even in the impoverished Amigasa Village, life has improved considerably.

"Thank you, Robin-sama."

The lanterns were inscribed with the wishes of the people of Wano Country, with the most numerous being words of gratitude to Robin.

The pirates of the Beasts Pirates also returned one after another.

Ghost Island, Skull Castle Banquet Hall.

Kaido sat in the main seat, while Black Maria stood beside him pouring drinks.

"Long time no see, Loya kid."

"Mr. Kaido."

Loya raised his glass in a gesture of respect.

The two shared a drink.

Loya then took out the prepared gift: "These are the two red road marker texts I collected. We only need one more text before we can head to Laugh Tale."

"."

Kaido took the inscription from the road sign, his heart filled with a rare excitement.

Loya not only sent him Kozuki Oden's son, Momonosuke, but also gave him the inscription on the road sign that pirates treasured. This favor was extraordinary.

"Oh, okay! Okay! Okay!"

Kaido laughed and said "good" three times, his eyes filled with affection as he looked at Loya.

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

"It's simply a matter of each getting what they need."

Loya raised the corners of his mouth.

The inscription on the road stele didn't mean much to him, and he wasn't interested in the blank hundred years.

My hometown has a history of five thousand years. Every dynastic change has been dramatic and earth-shattering. Moreover, the fall of a great dynasty can only be caused by oneself.

The most practical approach is to use the inscription on the road signs to generate profits.

They will usher in a new era!

A glint of ambition flashed in Loya's eyes.

"Mr. Kaido, it's starting!"

"That's right, it's about to begin!"

Kaido harbors the same ambition.

The greatest struggle for hegemony in history.

With three copies of the Roadstone Inscription, whether it's searching for the last Roadstone Inscription or permanently recording the Log Pose, the Beasts Pirates will embark on their final expedition.

The throne is within reach!

Loya's smile faded, and he said in a deep voice, "I heard the newlyweds have arrived in Wano Country?"

"A few brats did come, it looks like Straw Hat Luffy and Trafalgar Law, I'm about to take care of them."

Kaido gulped down his drink, paying no attention to the two men.

Not long ago, he dealt with Captain Kidd and Magician Hawkins; now one of them is in the prisoner quarry, and the other has become his subordinate.

What legendary worst era? It's nothing but a bunch of idiots.

After drinking for half an hour, Baohuang arrived at the banquet hall to deliver a message: "Lord Kaido, the Straw Hat crew has been spotted in Kuriboro Town."

"Huh? The Straw Hat Pirates?"

Kaido raised his eyebrows, his anger rising.

Unfortunately, this very moment dampened his spirits for drinking with his son-in-law.

Damn!

"Hey, Loya, I'm off!"

"I'll go join in the fun too."

Loya stood up, a flash of lightning appearing in his eyes.

Previously, out of consideration for Garp, he had never really gone all out against the Straw Hat crew, mainly because they hadn't encountered each other many times.

But now that the final battle is approaching, he must not let Luffy destroy the network of relationships he has built over the years.

Kaido flew off Onigashima.

Loya drew his sword, turned back to Maria before leaving, and coldly ordered, "Immediately gather your men, patrol all the coastlines of Kuri, and find the Straw Hat Pirates' ship."

"yes!"

Black Maria shuddered. Although Loya wasn't a member of the Beasts Pirates, she dared not be negligent in the slightest.

Loya nodded slightly and disappeared from the spot.

Soon, the two giant dragons flew towards Jiuli.

Kuri, the ruins of Oden Castle.

This is the Straw Hat Pirates' temporary base, and the town of Boro is not far away.

Since arriving in Wano Country, Straw Hat Luffy has clashed with the Beasts Pirates several times, causing quite a bit of chaos, but he has also made some new friends.

Samurai: Okiku, Izo, Kanjuro.

Ninja: Raizo, Shinobu.

A total of five people.

"Lord Momonosuke has been arrested!"

They learned from the Beasts Pirates that Momonosuke had been captured, and they were filled with anxiety.

They realized something was wrong when they lost contact with Kin'emon, but they never expected that Momonosuke would fall into Kaido's hands.

The worst has happened.

Furthermore, according to the intelligence gathered, Kaido likely intends to execute Momonosuke during the Fire Festival. Therefore, whether they are dealing with Kaido or rescuing Momonosuke, they must take advantage of the Fire Festival to infiltrate Onigashima.

But they lacked troops.

These days, they have been spreading the mark of the Kozuki clan and summoning those warriors who have endured humiliation, but very few have responded.

The peaceful life of the past two years has worn down the last vestiges of the samurai's will to resist, and everyone cherishes this hard-won peace.

Now, they can only turn their attention to Ashura Doji, the bandit leader of Kuri, hoping that he can help them.

However, they were also rejected.

The Asuras even regarded them as enemies.

At this moment, Ashura is fighting Jack the Drought of the Beasts Pirates.

Suddenly, Usopp felt a chill run down his spine, and when he found the source of the terror, he couldn't help but scream in horror.

"Hey, look at the southern sky!"

"South?"

Everyone turned their heads to look south and gasped in shock as two enormous dragons, each blotting out the sky, flew in.

"What the hell is that?!"

"The blue dragon is Kaido!"

Law's eyes were filled with gloom as he revealed the true identity of the Azure Dragon to everyone, but what made him feel uneasy was not Kaido, but another giant dragon.

"The other pink dragon is the mount of General Day Dragon!"

"general?"

The Straw Hat crew was terrified.

The Four Emperors are difficult enough to deal with, and now there's another Marine Admiral.

How could we possibly win?!

Also, why are the Four Emperors with the Admirals?
