Al and the others also left the fifth floor, but they left through the roof.
El's flame cloud smoothly carried them down from the roof to the square.
When they arrived at the square, they saw the samurai of Wano Country celebrating enthusiastically.
After twenty years of arduous waiting, they finally drove away the Beasts Pirates who enslaved people in this country to make weapons.
Everyone has put in so much effort and sacrifice for this moment.
The warriors hugged each other and shared their joy. The whole square was filled with hope.
At this time, Al found Luffy lying on the ground receiving treatment from Chopper.
Although he is no longer in the awakened state, his smile is still bright, and he is immersed in the joy of defeating Kaido.
Chopper carefully treated his wounds and kept nagging Luffy to be more careful in the future.
Although the people around were busy, they would cast concerned glances from time to time. It was obvious that everyone was very concerned about the Straw Hat who could defeat Kaido.
"Luffy, what are you going to do next?"
Luffy responded with a smile: "El, I finally caught up with you."
His smile was full of pride and satisfaction, "After we rest in Wano Country, I plan to continue sailing until I find the great secret treasure and become the Pirate King."
Hearing Luffy's words, Perona and others chuckled, but did not tell him that the Final Island had sunk.
Al nodded, looked at Luffy seriously and said, "Well, I wish you good luck, but I may need your help with something."
Luffy nodded readily and agreed: "If you need any help, just tell me. I will help you as long as I can."
Al smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll find you when I'm ready. This matter is not just my business. Your two sworn brothers will also participate."
Hearing this, Luffy immediately asked curiously: "What on earth would cause Sabo and Ace to participate? I would definitely go with them for such an event."
There was a hint of mystery in Al's smile. "This will be an unprecedented battle, a battle to break the shackles of the world and pursue true freedom and equality. As for more, I will tell you later."
Luffy is a guy who talks too much, so telling him in advance would make it easy for him to leak information.
"Well, remember to call me."
Seeing that El didn't intend to continue talking, Luffy stopped asking, because he planned to secretly ask Ace and Sabo later, and they would definitely tell him what happened.
Chapter 244 Ancient Wano Country
After chatting with the Straw Hat Pirates, Al found Kin'emon who was directing the samurai to leave Onigashima.
Although they once dreamed of killing Kaido, it was indeed difficult to achieve this goal with their strength.
For them at this moment, being able to drive away the Beasts Pirates is already a great victory.
Kin'emon and the other Nine Red Scabbards knew this very well, so after receiving a notice from the Beasts Pirates that Kaido would move Onigashima away from Wano Country after the samurai left, they sped up the process of leading the samurai away from Onigashima.
Everyone hopes that this process can be completed as soon as possible so that the shadow that has shrouded Wano Country for more than 20 years will disappear completely.
At the same time, the Flower Capital was still immersed in fire rituals all night long, celebrating the coming freedom.
Kozuki Sukiyaki has received the news that Kin'emon and others have successfully expelled Kaido, and sent people to spread this good news.
The whole city was filled with cheers and laughter, and people finally ushered in the long-awaited peace.
However, the fighting in Wano Country has not completely stopped.
Just as the samurai were about to leave Onigashima, they discovered that Orochi Oniwabanshu and patrol members were also quietly evacuating Onigashima not far away.
These two samurai troops directly under the general of Wano Country had long since joined the Beasts Pirates under the leadership of their leaders Hotei and Fukurokuju.
However, as the Beasts Pirates were about to leave Wano Country, these people who had betrayed their country were left on this land as abandoned children.
The warriors couldn't help feeling a little happy when they saw the traitors being abandoned, but they soon realized that this was a problem they still needed to solve.
The existence of these betrayers may bring new threats to Wano Country in the future and must be handled with caution.
However, Al did not keep the warriors waiting too long.
He arranged for Nami and the others to take direct action and solve the problem in an efficient manner.
Before Orochi Oniwabanshu and the patrol members could react, they had already captured the leaders of the two forces, Hotei and Fukurokuju, and threw them in front of the Nine Red Scabbards.
This sudden action stunned everyone at the scene for a moment, followed by cheers from the Nine Red Scabbards and other samurai.
Kin'emon looked at the two traitors who were escorted to him, with a complicated look in his eyes. "Do you think you can escape punishment by joining the Beasts Pirates? Today is the day for you to pay the price for your actions."
Faced with such a situation, Hotei and Fukurokuju looked very embarrassed. They originally thought that they could use Kaido's power to escape sanctions, but now it seems that their plan has completely failed.
Al stepped forward and said to Kin'emon, "These people are now in your hands. It is up to you to decide how to deal with them."
Kin'emon nodded, "Thank you, Al. We'll make sure this is taken care of."
He then turned to the other members of the Red Scabbards and the surrounding samurai and announced, "These traitors will be judged by the Shogun and held accountable for their actions."
Faced with such a situation, Hotei and Fukudai's faces turned as pale as snow, their eyes filled with fear, and they sensed their impending fate.
Without Kaido's protection, they no longer have a foothold in Wano Country.
When all the samurai left Onigashima, Kaido transformed into a huge blue dragon. He circled around Onigashima and summoned a large amount of flame clouds.
Accompanied by roars, the entire island slowly rose into the air and gradually disappeared into the sky, as if it had never existed.
At the same time, Yamato couldn't help but ask, "El, how can we establish Wano Country?"
Al asked everyone, "What do you think?"
After thinking for a while, Nami said, "We should break down the mountain walls on all four sides, so that Wano Country can connect to the outside world."
There was some uncertainty in her voice.
"If you want to open the mountain wall of Wano Country, you can ask the elephant master of Zou Island to come and do it."
"Really?" Hearing Al mention the Elephant Lord, Garrott said in surprise: "Captain Al, can you really get the Elephant Lord to help you?"
Al shook his head slightly and explained, "I can't, but I can hear what the elephant master says."
Robin keenly grasped the deep meaning in Al's words and asked softly, "So someone is available?"
Al said slowly: "According to the information I know, Momonosuke can order the elephant master to take action. In addition, Luffy may be able to ask the elephant master to help."
As for why Luffy could do this, after witnessing his incredible ability of the Rubber Fruit with their own eyes, everyone had doubts in their hearts, but at least they could understand it to some extent.
However, everyone was shocked to learn that Momonosuke, an eight-year-old boy, also possessed the ability to make the legendary elephant master take action.
Especially the different descriptions of El when he mentioned asking the elephant master for help. For Luffy, El said please ask the elephant master for help, but when talking about Momonosuke, he used the word of command. The difference between the two is even more shocking.
"A child can actually command the Elephant Lord? Is this true? Captain El!" Garrott couldn't help but repeat it, his voice full of surprise and confusion.
"Although it's a little unbelievable, this is the truth," Al continued, "The alliance between the ancestors of the Kozuki family and the elephant lord came from the war eight hundred years ago. In this way, you may understand."
After hearing this explanation, Nami and her friends suddenly understood.
After confirming that everyone had no doubts, Al changed the subject: "But I don't think it is necessary to break down all these mountain walls, at least not at this stage."
Kaya immediately understood what he meant, "Is this to protect Wano Country?"
Al nodded and went on to explain, "One of the purposes of founding the country was to bring the ancient weapon Pluto back to the light of day, but I don't think it's necessary to use this weapon in the upcoming war with the Celestial Dragons."
Nami analyzed: "We only need to open a hole in the mountain to ensure that Wano Country can be connected to the outside world. There is no need to destroy the entire mountain wall."
At this time, Yamato added: "In fact, Wano Country itself has a normal external channel. There is a submarine port in Baimai, where you can safely enter and exit the outside world through an elevator."
After hearing this, Al nodded and responded, "In that case, let's go find General Sukiyaki and see what he has to say."
On the way to the Flower Capital, El contacted the Sikai Chamber of Commerce in the Sabaody Archipelago and arranged for them to transport a large amount of daily necessities to the Land of Wano.
These supplies cover a wide range of categories, from food to building materials. While helping Wano Country rebuild their homes, they can also be exchanged for Wano Country's strategic resource, seastone.
Since Momonosuke was not forced to mature into an adult form, with the support of loyal ministers such as Shimotsuki Yasuie, Kotsuki Sukiyaki once again ascended the throne of the Shogun of Wano Country.
However, at this time, he planned to train his grandson wholeheartedly to be the general of Wano Country.
When Al first proposed the idea of founding a country, Kozuki Sukiyaki fell into deep thought.
"In the Kozuki family's heritage, there is indeed a record that Pluto is hidden at the bottom of the sea in Wano Country," Kozuki Sukiyaki said slowly, with a look of sudden enlightenment in his eyes, "So this is why Oden has always wanted to establish a country."
Then he continued: "If you want to dig a passage between Wano Country and the outside world, then we may have to move to the location of ancient Wano Country and rebuild this country."
At this time, Al stood up and proposed: "If Wano Country needs to be rebuilt, we can provide you with the resources you need."
Hearing this, Kozuki Sukiyaki looked embarrassed and said, "But we in Wano Country do not have enough funds to purchase these supplies."
Al waved his hand and responded with a smile: "As long as you can provide seastone, it will be fine."
After hearing this, Sukiyaki said happily: "Then let's do as you say, open up a channel to the outside world and let this country be reborn."
After getting permission from Kotsuki Sukiyaki, everyone immediately began to prepare in an orderly manner, and all kinds of building materials and tools began to be prepared.
On the recommendation of Al, the famous carpenter Gentomo was appointed as the chief carpenter and was responsible for the design work of the New Kingdom of Kano.
At the same time, the General's Office announced to the public the news that an external channel would soon be opened to ensure that everyone would cooperate with this policy.
Finally, when everything was ready and a large amount of supplies from the Sabaody Archipelago was about to arrive in Wano Country, El came alone to the outside of the towering stone walls of Wano Country.
His body instantly transformed into a gigantic black dragon, spinning at high speed towards the stone wall, unleashing a tornado and gust of wind move with incredible destructive power.
When the last layer of stone wall was broken through, a strong stream of water suddenly rushed out from the newly excavated tunnel, and the accumulated water flowed out like a waterfall.
The flood continued for several days, and during these days, the people of Wano Country explored the new land that gradually appeared as the water level dropped.
Every newly exposed area is full of unknowns and hope, and people explore their future homes with excitement but caution.
After all the accumulated water was drained, a wide tunnel that became more stable after being washed by the water finally appeared before everyone.
After hundreds of years of soaking, the walls of those ancient houses were covered with a thick layer of moss. Although the wooden structures were still tough, the surface was slippery, as if coated with a layer of natural grease.
The road became extremely slippery due to long-term soaking. A thin layer of silt accumulated on the originally neatly paved stone road surface, leaving a deep footprint with every step.
In some places, although the accumulated water has receded, you can still see puddles of turbid water in some low-lying areas, reflecting the sunlight and adding a bit of color to this ancient relic.
In order to make this land truly habitable and suitable for development, further measures must be taken to deal with these water accumulation problems.
However, they had already made a plan and asked Kuma to send Kosa to Wano Country.
He used the ability of his fruit to merge his body into the land, and the accumulated water in the low-lying areas began to be drained out at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The water seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, being drawn out from the soil and from every corner, gathering into thin streams, and finally flowing away along the lower terrain.
The onlookers all held their breath and watched everything happen intently.
As the moisture was continuously extracted, the originally slippery land began to change.
The originally soft and muddy ground gradually hardened, and after the moisture in the soil was effectively removed, a solid and dry land was left behind.
"Look, the land has really dried up, what a magical ninjutsu!" Someone in the crowd exclaimed in a low voice, his voice full of amazement and joy.
When Kosa, under the instructions of El, prioritized hardening the land near the tunnel entrance, the ships that had been waiting for a long time docked at the seashore outside the tunnel and began to transport large amounts of supplies from the Sabaody Archipelago into the territory of Wano Country.
For a moment, the tunnel was bustling with people busy carrying various daily necessities and construction materials, their faces filled with anticipation for future life.
The children excitedly shuttled between the adults, looking at every new thing curiously, while the old people whispered about what this change meant for the future.
Kin'emon said to the others: "As long as the samurai of Wano Country guard this passage, we will not be afraid of the invasion of pirates."
When the warriors around heard Kin'emon's words, they all straightened their backs and vowed to protect the country from being invaded by pirates again.
On the other side, after Kosa finished the treatment near the tunnel entrance, he did not stop, but continued to go to other areas to start treating those muddy silt areas.
He went deep into the ground and used the power of the swamp fruit to open up winding underground rivers.
As these underground rivers formed, water that had previously accumulated on the surface was cleverly directed into these new waterways.
But that’s not all, in order to meet the daily water needs of the residents, Kosa also built a large number of wells in appropriate locations.
These wells are directly connected to his newly opened underground river network, providing residents with clean and abundant water. They also effectively manage groundwater and prevent future waterlogging problems.
The clear and clean well water made the original residents of Caishen Town scream in surprise. The news spread quickly and attracted many residents to come and watch.
The newly-drilled clear well water seemed particularly precious in their eyes.
Many water sources where they originally lived were polluted to varying degrees.
Those polluted well waters are not only turbid in color, but also emit an unpleasant odor and may even cause health problems after drinking.
With excitement and curiosity hard to conceal on their faces, everyone gathered around the new well.
Tears of excitement sparkled in the eyes of the elderly people. They had not seen such pure water for a long time.
The children were even more excited to play by the well, chattering about this new thing and enjoying the joy brought by this hard-earned fresh water source.
