the other side.
Shangguan Wen took the documents from Jin about the recent military, finance, weapons, etc. of the Beasts and Wano Country, and couldn't help but put them down after reading them.
"After all these years of occupying Inazuma, is this the strength that the beasts have accumulated? Kaido even wants to start a world war. Tsk tsk tsk, has he ever calculated how many people, food, weapons and ammunition he will need?"
Listening to Shangguan Wen teasing his boss, Jin nodded awkwardly. This was also what he wanted to say. This was not enough to start a world war.
"Is Kaido awake? If he is, come to the meeting. This is about the future of the beasts, and it would be unreasonable for him, the vice-captain, not to come."
There was something strange under Jin's mask.
"If you really want to be Captain of the Beasts, with your strength, you can definitely set up your own company and become the boss. You are simply using Kaido as a scapegoat."
Shangguan Wen shrugged and replied:
"They're about to start a world war, and they still care about taking the blame. Kaido isn't one of the beneficiaries, and isn't he here himself? He's injured and still drinking, thinking he's not dying fast enough?"
Kaido, a tall figure, came over with the Infinite Wine Flask (regular version) in his hand. He burped and said with a blush on his face:
"So my new captain, why did you choose me instead of the other three?"
Shangguan Wen waved his hand, and from the shadows appeared three wanted portraits: Whitebeard, Charlotte Linlin, and Red-Haired Shanks. He pointed at their portraits and said:
"Whitebeard Edward Newgate, the father of a child buried in a grave, whose physical functions have greatly declined, will not let his child die in order to conquer the world."
"Charlotte Linlin, a big-headed giant baby, is a reproductive machine. She has brute force but no wisdom, and she's just a foolish woman who only cares about playing house. She has long lost the drive she had in her youth, and she could easily be bribed by the World Government and betrayed!"
Kaido couldn't help but sit down, looking at Shangguan Wen, and said in a tone that he himself dared not guarantee:
"That old woman may have had a deal with the World Government, but it's impossible that she could be bribed to side with the World Government, right?"
Shangguan Wen smiled slightly and pointed at Charlotte Lingling's old face and said:
"Pure gold can buy her off. Besides, betrayal between pirates is commonplace. You can even join forces with the World Government. The death of Rocks in God Valley over 30 years ago was a typical example of cooperation between pirates and the World Government. If you had worked together back then, God Valley's victory wouldn't have been won by the Navy and the World Government."
Kaido was one of the parties involved in the God Valley incident. Since it could be staged more than 30 years ago, it can still be staged more than 30 years later, just with a different actor.
"The last one is Red-Haired Shanks, the son of Fergaland of the Celestial Dragon Knights, Saint Fergaland-Shanks."
After saying that, he took out a photo of Fegaland and compared it with Shanks. Although the two had a big age difference, it could be seen from their faces that Shanks and Fegaland had an unspeakable relationship.
Shangguan Wen caused a huge uproar. They had never imagined that the intern from the former Pirate King was actually a Celestial Dragon. No, Kaido narrowed his eyes and calculated the time in his mind. If it was the child lost in the Valley of the Gods at that time, this was entirely possible. The Five Elders of the World Government were really cunning. If Shangguan Wen hadn't pointed it out, he would have been deceived. He hadn't expected that the Five Elders would actually let a Celestial Dragon with noble blood be a pirate, and at the level of the Four Emperors.
Kaido said in a gloomy tone:
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
Shangguan Wen continues to analyze the internal problems of the Beasts Pirates
"Yes, let's talk about Wano Country. Although it has experienced years of control and cleansing by the Beasts, there are still many resistance forces inside. Whether it is the samurai of Wano Country or Kurozumi Orochi, they are all potential enemies. When the Beasts are strong, it is not visible, but once they become weak, the first to retaliate against the Beasts will be Kurozumi Orochi and Wano Country."
Jin snorted coldly and said:
"What a bunch of ungrateful bastards! If it weren't for the protection of the Beasts Pirates, Wano Country would have been wiped out by the World Government long ago. They really went too easy on me!"
Chapter 25: Restoring the Glory of Beasts
Shangguan Wen ignored their expressions and continued:
"In addition, the Beasts Pirates are seriously undermanned, with only 1.4 men currently. The Navy can initially mobilize 10 to 20 men. Their high-end combat strength includes the three admirals, Marshal Sengoku, Vice Admiral Garp, and many other generals, far outnumbering the Beasts' big bosses. As for the Beasts' mid-range combat strength, the incomplete Flying Six Pack is completely insufficient to fight against the Navy's rear admirals and brigadier generals, as well as other school officers, not to mention the other three emperor-class pirate groups, the World Government's CP0, the Knights of God, and the Five Elders who are as powerful as the admirals."
"Beasts needs more soldiers and strong people to join, which also means more weapons and food. But I have seen the financial report and weapons production table of Beasts, which is totally insufficient!"
Kaido put down the wine jug, and the drunkenness and pretense of stupidity disappeared from his eyes. Instead, he asked seriously:
"What can you do, my captain?"
"Do you really think I'm your captain? You don't even have the slightest thought of resisting."
Kaido lets out his signature laugh
"Oh, you said so yourself. According to the rule that the strong are on top and the weak are on the bottom, I am naturally the deputy captain."
Shangguan Wen saw Kaido's cooperation and continued:
"First, we need to deal with the internal situation of Wano Country. Now that the beasts have occupied Wano Country for many years, they are fully capable of killing Kurozumi Orochi and replacing him."
Kaido took a sip of wine, put down the wine gourd, wiped his saliva and said:
"Yes, Baishou has already killed Kurozumi Orochi and replaced him. Originally, we planned to let that unfilial son Yamato go, but what about that Kozuki Hiyori?"
Shangguan Wen looked in the distance, where Hiyori Kozuki and Yamato were studying writing and paperwork, and he was allowed to listen in from a distance. His body shuddered, and he pricked up his ears to listen. He couldn't help but smile.
"Of course, it's to make her the female general of Wano Country. In the future, I plan to change Wano Country to Inazuma Country, and Hiyori Kozuki plays many important roles, including triggering the First Inazuma Rebellion and the Second Inazuma Rebellion. What I hope more is that I want her to kill Momonosuke Kozuki with her own hands."
The brush in Hiyori's hand fell on the desk without her control. She was going to kill her brother.
Kaido raised his eyebrows, looked at Kozuki Hiyori, and saw her loss of composure and said:
"Interesting, brothers and sisters killing each other for power and profit, it's really interesting, it's a pity that the idiot Kozuki Oden didn't have the chance to witness it."
“There will be someday.”
Shangguan Wen answered confidently that there were many rituals for resurrecting the dead in the daily signboards in the sign-in system or in the shops. It was indeed a good thing to let the fool Oden watch his own children kill each other.
When Hiyori Kozuki wanted to stand up quickly and say something, Erza appeared beside her, put one hand on her shoulder, exerted a little force, and signaled her to listen quietly.
"Due to Kurozumi Orochi's dark rule over the years, the people of Inazuma have been living in dire straits. There are already many who harbor hatred for Kurozumi Orochi and the Beasts. We must now seek them out and eliminate them, or perhaps exile them. We can then use these exiles to give those who continue to resist the Beasts an opportunity to unite internally and externally against them, thus completely eliminating this threat!"
Kaido, King and the others nodded. Ever since the beasts ruled Wano Country, no, since Inazuma, there have been sporadic resistances. It would be best if they could catch them all in one fell swoop and prevent future troubles.
"Again, the internal reward and elimination mechanism of the Beasts Pirates"
In the past, Kaido would have scoffed at Shangguan Wen's proposal, but thinking of the enemies he would have to face in a world war, he also wanted to hear what Shangguan Wen had to say.
"To meet the needs of war and world conquest, the Beasts must prepare at least 20 to 100 soldiers. It would be best if all of them could use Armament Haki."
Jhin, Quinn and Jack took a deep breath. They didn't expect Shangguan Wen to want so many people at once. There are probably about 20 pirates in all the big and small pirate groups in the New World, and they all have Armament Haki.
"No, our opponents are the World Government and its member states. Whether it's for war or maintaining law and order in the occupied territories after the expansion of our territory, these troops are needed to meet their needs. We need to transform them into a base for the subsequent blood transfusion of the Beasts, rather than a burden."
Kaido nodded slightly. As a Boy Scout, he had experienced countless wars, big and small. He knew that after occupying a new territory, someone had to stay behind to garrison and transform it into a rear base. To unify the vast new world, these troops were necessary, not to mention attacking the four seas and the Red Earth Continent from the New World.
"Aside from the cannon fodder soldiers at the bottom, the middle and high-level ranks lack combat effectiveness. The middle level refers to cadres like Jin, and the high-level ranks are at the level of Admiral Emperor. The enemies we face, from the New World Pirate Emperor, the Great Pirate to the World Government, are at least 14 Admiral Emperors, and there are other hidden masters. Among the beasts, only Kaido and I can fight, and Yamato can barely count as one. There are still 11 vacancies."
"If a world war is to be waged, the Beasts must match the World Government's navy and the combined power of the other three Emperor-class pirate groups! This is the only way to wage a world-class war and ensure the Beasts' victory, rather than just making things easier for other ambitious individuals!"
After hearing Shangguan Wen's analysis, Kaido laughed out loud, and the domineering aura in his body was like a raging sea, covering the entire Onigashima Island in an instant, knocking countless weak pirates unconscious on the spot, causing chaos for a while.
Shangguan Wen currently believes that he can fight 1 to 3 opponents alone, and can crush them in one-on-one fights, but for Imladen who rarely attacks, it is better to choose to test him cautiously first, given Shangguan Wen's current strength.
Jin couldn't help but frown. The emperor-level generals were not cabbages that could be found everywhere. Moreover, each of them was arrogant and proud. How could they easily join the Hundred Beasts?
"This is a bit difficult. Guys on the same level as Kaido are unwilling to obey his orders. Damn the World Government, so many talented people actually joined."
Kaido looked down at Shangguan Wen. He was obviously just a kid who had not grown up, but he had both strength and intelligence, and was completely worthy of his Yamato. If he could have a child, he would be able to experience the happiness of his grandfather.
"Captain Shangguan, you are right. Only in this way can we ensure the victory of the beasts. Now if there is anything you want to change or do, just tell me. I will fully cooperate with you."
Shangguan Wen calmly analyzed:
"The first thing to do is to establish trust with wood"
"Appreciate further details"
Shangguan Wen touched his chin and told his plan.
"Pirates are known around the world as notorious robbers. They never engage in production, only destruction and killing. But things are different now. After my arrival, the Beasts have to make drastic reforms to meet the needs of war. Reforms will require bloodshed, not only the blood of Inazuma, but also the blood of the Beasts themselves."
"As an elder once said: To plan something difficult is to start with something easy, and to do something big is to start with small things; the most difficult things in the world must be done from the easy; the most important things in the world must be done from the small things."
Kaido recalled Shangguan Wen's words, and it seemed that this predecessor did not exist in his memory. His eyes couldn't help but turn to Jin, who also shook his head slightly, saying that he had never heard of it either.
Chapter 26 Level 200 Female Contract Book
When the meeting discussed Kozuki Hitoshi and the mission, the parties involved were even more incredulous.
"What? Lord Shangguan actually asked me to reveal my true identity and use the eldest daughter of the Guangyue family to carry out reforms?"
Kozuki Hiyori pointed at her nose and looked at Shangguan Wen in disbelief. Once her identity was exposed, Kurozumi Orochi would never let her go, but at the same time, it would also attract other members of the Kozuki family to come and risk their lives to save her, such as Kawamatsu, Ashura Douji, etc.
Shangguan Wen looked straight at the girl in front of him and said:
"That's right, don't you want to do what your father wanted? Now you can establish a country as Hikaru Kozuki."
Kozuki Hiyori raised her head and said with a stubborn expression:
"But what's the price? I don't think the Beasts Pirates are good people. Could it be my body?"
Kyoshiro, who was allowed to be an observer and guard nearby, couldn't help but step forward and protect Hiyori Kozuki.
"The princess will not be abused by pirates"
Shangguan Wen took a step forward, hit Kyoshiro on the cheek with a punch, and threw her aside. He lifted her chin and said:
"You have no choice. Under my protection, you can become stronger. Whether you work as a civilian or fight on the front lines, it's better than being a vase singing for money. You won't be unable to protect yourself and can only watch your important people disappear before your eyes."
Kozuki Hiwa closed her eyes in pain, and her mind couldn't help but recall the girls who were sold to the red-light district. Their crying, screaming and wailing lingered in her mind for a long time. They were once hers, but now it was her turn.
Kozuki Hiyori once used her fan Quinn to stir up disputes between the beasts and Kurozumi Orochi so that she could profit from it and protect her own innocence. But now Quinn doesn't dare to say a word. After Kurozumi Orochi knew her identity, he was eager to kill her. How could anyone help her?
"I understand, but please let Mr. Kyoshiro go. He has contributed to my ability to protect my innocence over the years. Please let him go."
"When asking for help, you must have the attitude of asking for help, Kozuki Hiyori"
Kozuki Hiyori knelt on the ground and put aside the pride of the Kozuki family.
"Princess, please don't do this... wu..."
A black shadow wrapped up Kyoshiro and threw him out of Onigashima.
"He is not dead, he is still in the sea. As for who he will meet, no one knows."
Hiyori Kozuki said bitterly:
"Thank you, Lord Shangguan, for not killing me."
"You're welcome. Sign this. Bite your index finger and sign with blood."
After saying that, he took out a thick book from Shangguan Wen's shadow. On it were oracle bone inscriptions from previous lives. Without a systematic translation, Shangguan Wen would not be able to understand these ancient characters at all.
This book is a system sign-in, a female contract book of level 200. It can force women of level 200 and below to sign a contract. They will be loyal to the owner of the contract book. The owner can grant power through the contract book and deprive the contractor of his life. You can refer to Six Paths of Pain.
Shangguan Wen doesn't consider himself a good person, so for a guy like this who has potential rebellious tendencies, he would naturally bind him directly through the Book of Contract.
As Kozuki Hiyori looked at the book with unknown characters, her instinct told her that signing it would make her regret for the rest of her life, no, even until the end of her life, but she had no choice. If she signed, she would live; if she didn't, she would die!
Hiyori Kozuki bit her index finger and wrote her name on the document.
[Women's Contract Book]
Signed by: Hiyori Kozuki.
Rating: 10
Age: 20 years old
Good at playing the shamisen.
Tsk tsk tsk, apart from the looks, everything else is trash.
"Hiyori, you need to exercise hard, and double, double, and double again."
"It's my fault. I'm willing to work hard to become your sharp sword."
Kozuki Hiyori has already taken on her own shape, and what she needs next is transformation.
"Hiyori, where are you?"
Outside the door, Yamato was looking for Hiyori Kozuki carelessly.
Just now, Yamato was called by Kaido to give her some instructions, and he allowed her to go out to sea for a trip with Shangguan Wen and others after a while.
"Yamato, my daughter is here."
Yamato followed the sound and saw Shangguan Wen and Kozuki Hiyori.
Yamato looked at Shangguan Wen in surprise at first, then said cautiously:
"Shangguan Wen, what are you doing here?"
"Yamato, I am here to sign a contract with Hiyori Kozuki to change the future of Inazuma."
Yamato tilted his head in confusion. Inazuma? Where did Inazuma come from? Could it be from Wano Country?
