Chapter 87
Chapter 172 Lafitte: Kozuki Oden Or Something, I Arranged For Him Clearly.
In the ghost island camp, a pirate overseer slapped a worker on the back with a whip and scolded: “Hurry up and work, don’t be lazy here!”
The Wanokuni laborer had welts all over his back, and his eyes were full of despair.
At this time, many buildings on the ghost island have begun to “appear”, which fully proves the cruelty of Lafitte and the heavy casualties of the laborers.
“It’s really hot, this weather.” A pirate picked up the water from the table, took two sips, and said with emotion.
“I went to this island yesterday to see the projects over there. Many factories have already been planned, the foundations have been completed, and the weather there is quite cool…” Another pirate said with a smile.
“It’s really strange. In the past two months, the ghost island has been getting hotter and hotter, but there seems to be no change on the main island.” Another pirate came over and said.
“You don’t know yet? This may be the ability of the boss of Surrut. I heard from the cadres that the boss of Surrut is likely to turn the mountain in the north into an active volcano. A pirate said mysteriously.
“Active volcano? Impossible? Isn’t our ghost island a floating island?” Someone asked in surprise.
“Hey, with the ability of Boss Surrut, it’s not unimaginable to be able to do that step, after all, that ruthless man who can destroy the entire island at every turn, a walking natural disaster… That’s not a joke. .” A pirate said after thinking about it.
“It’s true…” The rest of the people nodded.
Surrut is a famous ruthless man. With his ability, if he really wants to do something, it is not impossible to turn the ghost island into an active volcano.
“Aren’t we going to die here by then?” Another pirate younger brother suddenly exclaimed.
“Idiot, haven’t you been to Volcano Island? This is the 153rd battalion of our Beasts Pirates. How could such a thing happen? Maybe it will become a particularly pleasant hot spring island.” Someone explained.
“Don’t talk about this, boss Kaido has been out for two months, and I don’t know if he has found that Roger. I heard that it’s not only the boss Kaido who is looking for Roger, but all the guys in New World who have some skills are clamoring to kill them. The Roger Pirates or something, Marine is also desperately searching for the traces of the Roger Pirates…” said a pirate boy.
“Who knows? Only the cadres have news, right? Let’s not worry about this, let’s think about the awesome guy who came back from the island… That guy is a member of the Roger Pirates, I was yesterday. In the past, I heard a big news, it is very likely that the Roger Pirates have been disbanded!” The little pirate said in a low voice.
The rest of the people were all surprised.
That’s right, Kozuki Oden returned to Wanokuni the other day!
In fact, the Kozuki family has always had someone in the Nine Mile of Wanokuni, and that was Kozuki Oden’s wife Kozuki with the two of his children.
It’s just that after Kozuki came back earlier, he was very low-key and nothing happened.
In addition, the intervention of the Beasts Pirates on the main island of Wanokuni was very small at this time, which was completely different from the original story, so this contradiction was not stimulated.
According to Lafitte’s plan, the Beasts Pirates are only in-depth cooperation with the ruler of Wanokuni, Kurozumi Orochi, and have no intention of interfering in Wanokuni’s internal affairs.
It turns out that the grievances between Kurozumi Orochi and the Kozuki family have happened since before the Beasts Pirates came to Wanokuni.
Before Kaido came, Kurozumi Orochi had usurped the position of general.
What does that have to do with us?
Whether it’s opening a factory or recruiting a lot of labor, Beasts Pirates use a very ‘procedural’ method.
All of them are agreements with Kurozumi’s family through cooperation, transactions, etc., according to the normal process. If you insist, it can be said to be…reasonable and legal!
This is the ‘puppet plan’ that Lafitte has always insisted on.
No matter what the relationship between Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido actually is, but at least on the bright side, we must make sure that the two sides cannot have a sense of integration, and we must establish a kind of ‘Kurozumi family governing Wanokuni, Beasts Pirates do not participate’ image out.
The Kurozumi family is used as a shield, and at the right time, it is directly transformed into a ‘scapegoat’, and all the blame is taken away.
This is how it is now, Kozuki Oden returned to Wanokuni and found that the Beasts Pirates opened a number of military factories in Wanokuni, and also enslaved many ordinary people as laborers.
Originally, he was furious and prepared to come to the ghost island to make a scene.
As a result, I investigated and found that it was very outrageous. Kaido’s Beasts Pirates, in Wanokuni, from an objective point of view, did not do anything wrong at all, just cooperated with Kurozumi’s family.
Labor or something, it was purchased from Kurozumi’s house through trading. Before the purchase, Kurozumi Orochi has demoted all the requisitioned laborers to slaves. In other words, this labor is now bought by Beasts Pirates from Kurozumi Orochi. Slave, it has nothing to do with you Kozuki Oden.
Wanokuni itself has a very clear relationship between superiors and subordinates in the cultural tradition, and the slave system cannot be regarded as completely abolished.
The generals of all dynasties also let these criminal slaves undertake some heavy and complicated labor work.
Now, it’s just Kurozumi Orochi who has recklessly expanded his rights from criminals to civilians.
But…what does this have to do with Beasts Pirates?
As for the military factory or something, it was also obtained by Beasts Pirates from Kurozumi Orochi through various cooperation methods.
All in all, whether Beasts Pirates is a good thing or not, in the case of Wanokuni, it is the Kurozumi family who is the villain.
However, Kurozumi Orochi was personally appointed by the previous generation general ‘Kozuki Sukiyaki’.
Therefore, from a legal point of view, Kurozumi Orochi is the legitimate ruler of Wanokuni.
Kozuki Oden is very angry now, he returned to Kuri to continue to be his name, but at the same time he was secretly preparing to overthrow the rule of the Kurozumi family, and then he would find a way to communicate with the Beasts Pirates (bbci) to see how to take it back. Those lands that were arbitrarily divided by the Kurozumi serpent, and the civilians who were sold to them as slaves.
In short, as of now, because of Lafitte’s various delicate slapstick operations, Kozuki Oden and Beasts Pirates have not yet shown signs of conflict.
In the north of the ghost island, after 20 years, almost the entire ghost island has been transformed into Kaido’s fortress. Naturally, it is necessary to move mountains to fill the lake, but now the ghost island has not developed to that level, there are still some Mountains or something, have not been leveled and built.
In the north of this ghost island, there is a small hillside that is not too big. More than two months ago, it was lush and green, but now, it has become very barren.
The faintly visible trees on the hillside are all in a state of withered yellow, and there is not a single leaf. From time to time, a gust of hot wind blows, and the trunk of the tree will burn directly and burn into charcoal.
There was not a single weed on the ground, and the land was dry and cracked, like the back of a turtle.
The more you go up the mountain, the more you can feel the temperature rise.
There is no doubt that all of this was caused by Surrut in these two months.
Kaido left, and no one came to beat him, so Surrut also changed the direction of some practice, focusing on research and development of his own abilities.
And the path and direction he chooses now is about the temperature side, so all the current visions are actually derived from Surrut’s influence on ability development.
On a waste rock halfway up the mountain, Surrut weighed the stone in his hand and asked curiously, “Kozuki Oden returned to Wanokuni?”
In front of him sat Lafitte, who kept drinking to quench his thirst.
Listening to Surrut’s question, Rafitte nodded and said: “Yes, I also sent someone to observe, it is indeed Kozuki Oden…”
“Hasn’t there been a conflict yet?” Surrut asked again.
The return of Kozuki Oden means that the Roger Pirates have been disbanded, but the news has not been revealed yet.
“What conflict happened? In Wanokuni, it was the Kurozumi orochi, not me.” Lafitte said confidently.
“Hahaha, you manipulated the Kurozumi snake and made him do so many angry things in Wanokuni. Can Kozuki Oden let the Kurozumi snake go away? Maybe it will start a rebel uprising. When the Kurozumi orochi is finished, I think Your plan will also come to an end, Kozuki Oden will not be as easy to control as Kurozumi, and will be your puppet.” Surrut said with a big laugh.
“Hehehe, I already have plans and arrangements.” Lafitte said confidently.
“That what Kozuki Oden, who is both the crew member of the Pirates and the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, is not so easy to deal with.” Surrut reminded.
“We Beasts Pirates just don’t participate directly.” Lafitte waved his hand first, and then said: “I was prepared a long time ago, reminding Kurozumi that Orochi took many hostages, and once Kozuki Oden dared to kill him directly Kurozumi is a big snake, and thousands of innocent people will fall with their heads. Judging from the information of Kozuki Oden given by Kurozumi’s family, I analyze that Kozuki Oden will not be so cruel, as long as he does not directly kill Kurozumi’s family, It’s just too much work…”
“How?” Surrut asked curiously.
In the original story, Kaido and Kurozumi used many crappy ways to destroy Kozuki Oden’s prestige in Wanokuni for five years, and then killed this guy.
He now wants to know what Lafitte will do.
“I plan to have the Kurozumi’s house and the Kozuki’s house in Kuri clash violently, or even better have a civil war that will engulf the entire Wanokuni, and now it seems that Kozuki Oden has the intention to start this kind of war to seize power…” Rafi Special Road.
“Isn’t that of course? Even if Kurozumi can’t be killed directly, Kozuki Oden will definitely try to get him out of office…” Surrut said.
“In short, I’m going to secretly set up Wanokuni, and try to get them to fight as soon as possible. Then, I will secretly take Kurozumi to Onishima to protect it, remotely control the battlefield, and gradually let the war swept the entire Wanokuni. When civilians become refugees, many things happen. It’s better to operate, in short, the first step is to stimulate this war first, and let the war continue until we are satisfied…” Lafitte smiled evilly.
Surrut does not comment on Lafitte’s methods, but he knows very well that including Kozuki Oden, there are not many people in the Kozuki family who have brains and can devise strategies. Maybe they will be tossed to death by Lafitte. .
