The appointment of the marshal was clearly decided, and Kuro couldn't refuse unless he also resigned, but it would be too much of a loss to give up now.
Then we can only try to find a backup plan.
Wano Country, Rabbit Don.
As one of the regions of Wano Country, the entire area has been transformed by Kuro into a prison for detaining prisoners and a weapons factory. There are many minerals here, and the prisoners can be put to work here.
The person guarding this place is Yamato, the daughter of Kaido, one of the first prisoners of Udon.
In the detention center above the mine, Yamato sat on a modified, extra-wide chair, holding a gourd of sake in his hand. A blunt-angled mace without spikes leaned against the chair, and he looked down at the prisoners working below.
"Hey, let that guy on the left, the one holding the pickaxe with one hand, rest for a bit. He's already done his work, and with one hand no less, he's really impressive."
Yamato spoke to a man next to him who wore paper glasses and looked like a dog.
This is also a SMILE, belonging to the Wano Country intelligence operatives who support the monarchy, and now also serves Yamato.
Because she's Kaido's daughter, she has a natural right to inherit everything from the Beasts Pirates.
"Yes, Miss Yamato." The dog Smile responded and ran out.
“Call me Master!” Yamato retorted, pressing his hand, somewhat annoyed, to his chest, which was showing signs of growing larger despite his slender frame. “I also want to become a remarkable man like Oden!”
No sooner had she finished speaking than a voice came from above, "What? Are you going to parade naked in the streets like Oden?"
Yamato looked up and saw a somewhat familiar, but utterly detestable person flying overhead.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Yamato immediately stood up, adopting a defensive posture, and gritted his teeth, saying, "What are you doing here?!"
The person in the sky was none other than Kuro.
He slowly descended from the sky and unceremoniously sat down in Yamato's original seat. "What a question. I am the shogun of Wano Country. Of course I have the right to go anywhere in Wano Country."
As he spoke, he crossed his legs, picked up a bunch of grapes from the table next to him, and started eating them. "Hmm, the fruit is very fresh. You're living a good life. I remember you were a prisoner, right? Living such a good life, some people might say that my looks reflect my values. But actually, I'm very serious."
"What do you want to do?" Yamato completely ignored Kuro's words and asked directly.
This person came to catch up with me?
He wasn't that kind-hearted, and they didn't have much to reminisce about.
Logically speaking, the man opposite him should be a heinous criminal who killed his father, beat up his friends, and crushed his dreams.
Strangely enough, I didn't resent him. If I had felt some hatred at the beginning, it dissipated over time.
Kill your father?
She and Kaido were never on good terms, and during the battle, she was thinking about how to defeat Kaido.
Kill your friend?
Luffy is a pirate, and so is she. Even if they can't sail together, they will still be friends, and that will never change.
The only thing was that he stifled his own dream.
But...
He really did a good job in Wano Country. The people no longer suffer, and it's not like the evil rule of General Orochi. It feels like he did a better job than when I was in power.
It was because of this idea that she settled down in Udon and gradually gained power in Udon as a prisoner. Although she did not pledge allegiance to Kuro, what she did was no different from pledging allegiance; she was just missing the formal title.
"There's something I need to tell you... um?"
Kuro was about to speak when he suddenly frowned and looked down. He saw several people glaring at him angrily in the mine, their anger palpable.
Among those glaring at him was a young man with a chonmage hairstyle who looked similar to Oden. Beside him were several acquaintances.
Nine people in red scabbards.
Were these people also arrested?
"Hey, have you forgotten the person you arrested yourself?!"
Yamato said, instinctively stepping in front of Clow to shield him, "Momonosuke is my friend. You already rule Wano Country, so there's no need to harm him."
"I'm not that tasteless, am I? If I wanted to do it, I would have done it already."
Kuro rolled his eyes and said, "Forget about these people. There's something I need to tell you. I... am preparing to become a marshal."
marshal?
Fleet Admiral of Wano Country?
It seems there isn't such a position in Wano Country...
Yamato suddenly realized something and his eyes widened. "Fleet Admiral?!"
Udon has many prisoners captured from the outer seas. From them, Yamato learned about the general world, that they are 'pirates', and that there is the 'Navy' responsible for capturing pirates. Above the Navy is the 'World Government' that rules most of the world. Well, a very evil group of guys who specifically oppress these free people who dream of going to sea.
"Fleet Admiral, so... I'll be quite busy lately. We probably don't have anyone to look after Wano Country, so we need to find a reliable person to entrust it to. Yamato, are you interested?"
"You...you're going to give me the general's position?" Yamato exclaimed in surprise.
What are you thinking about?
Kuro said, "Of course not. I mean, you will take over Wano Country. Of course, you will not be the acting shogun. I will give you an official position, and you can choose from the five chief ministers and five commissioners."
