After a period of chaos and turmoil in the Goa Kingdom, the Red Hair Pirates finally took control of the entire country.
Shanks spent some time and effort to clear out Duan Town, an "undeveloped area". Through Duan Town, Shanks also eliminated some of the corrupt nobles in the Goa Kingdom.
All the seized property was worth nearly 5 billion berries.
Shanks invested all of this money into urban construction and carried out rectification and reform of Duan Town.
A large amount of urban construction activities will inevitably drive employment. The vast majority of civilians in this world are hardworking and simple, so Shanks' recruitment went very smoothly.
Once people gather, other corresponding consumption will naturally be stimulated, and the area that was originally in chaos due to the evil forces will gradually regain its vitality.
While rebuilding Duan Town, Shanks also turned his attention to the refugees at the Uncertain Terminal. The vast majority of these refugees were not here because they were unable to work, but because they had no "identity".
Without an identity, there is no way to find a job, and without a job, there is no way to get money or food.
If there is no food, they need to find it, and the Uncertainty Terminal, as the largest garbage city in the country, naturally becomes the residence of these refugees.
In order to have clean and tidy streets, the king and nobles of the Kingdom of Goa dumped all the garbage in this uncertain terminal. In order to reduce financial consumption, the garbage generated in these cities was not buried, but piled up in the open air.
Over time, a garbage city like this was formed.
As Duanzhen was replanned and revitalized, this revitalized city needed a large number of working population to fill it. Shanks relocated the refugees from the Uncertainty Terminal, gave them identities, and allowed them to settle down in Duanzhen.
At the same time, Shanks also established an orphanage on Central Street in New End Town to take in homeless children.
Even in the East Sea, even in the relatively stable Kingdom of Goa, there are still many orphans. The orphanage built by Shanks also provides a shelter for these homeless children.
After relocating the population from the Uncertainty Terminal, Shanks established a waste recycling plant in this place, and at the same time built a small thermal power station not far from the waste recycling plant.
The world of One Piece is a world with extremely unbalanced technological development. Places with developed technology are no different from modern cities, while places with underdeveloped technology are completely primitive societies.
Yoshikazu Tsugakuni didn't know where Shanks got those advanced technologies, including building a power station and a garbage disposal plant.
In short, the current Goa Kingdom, under the rule of Shanks, has begun to transform into an industrial society.
Admittedly, although there are still many areas that can be evolved and improved in the administrative system of the Goa Kingdom, compared to the previous Goa Kingdom, the Goa Kingdom under Shanks' rule is obviously more vibrant.
October 1507 of the Haiyuan calendar.
The beach was golden under the scorching sun, and the waves gently hit the beach, making a crisp sound when the waves receded.
On the coast, Uta chased the waves barefoot, bursting into laughter from time to time.
There is a large parasol on the beach not far away.
Under the umbrella, Ji Guoyuan was wearing a loose floral shirt on the upper body and a pair of white shorts on the lower body. He lay on the beach chair with his chest exposed, enjoying the quiet afternoon.
Next to his lounge chair, there was a small table with two glasses of juice on it. On the other side of the table, Shanks was lying comfortably on a beach chair, wearing only a pair of shorts, shirtless, with a straw hat covering his face, and his legs crossed.
As Shanks' chest rose and fell, soft rhythmic snoring came from under the straw hat.
Over the past few months, Shanks has discovered some talented people, and he has distributed the specific affairs of the country to his subordinates. At most, he would occasionally go to "inspect".
Looking at the brand new Goa Kingdom, Shanks finally had time to relax.
So, I'm taking advantage of my free time to spend time with my daughter.
During the busy period of the Red Hair Pirates, the work of taking care of Uta was basically done by Jesus Bu. Jesus Bu came from a small village and was a good fighter, but he couldn't handle management matters.
Therefore, Jesus basically did not participate in the Red Hair Pirates' major operation to transform the Goa Kingdom.
Besides Jesus Bu, the other person who takes care of Uta is Yuichiro Tsugikoshi.
Ji Guoyuan spent all day training, and when taking care of Wuta, he just lent a hand and chatted with Wuta in his spare time to relieve her boredom.
Fortunately, Uta grew up early, and since she got the "high-tech" headset given to her by Shanks, she has found her own interests and hums little songs with the headset on every day.
Shanks later bought Uta a small piano. This girl could stand loneliness and spent most of her time staying in her room studying music by herself.
Shanks also felt guilty about Uta, and would take Uta out for fun whenever he had time.
This time when I had some free time, I took Uta to the beach to sunbathe and have a camping picnic.
When Jiguo Yuanyi heard the light snoring of Shanks, he tilted his head, took a glance and then set his eyes on Uta who was playing in the water.
Shanks's ability was somewhat beyond Yoriichi's expectations. He hadn't imagined that Shanks could achieve such results in such a short time. Even if he did it himself, he wouldn't necessarily be able to do better than Shanks.
I have to say that Shanks is really a talented person. It's a pity that he becomes a pirate.
If possible, Yoriichi Tsugikuni really wanted to lure Shanks to the navy to work for him. With him around, he wouldn't have to do many things himself and could just leave them to Shanks.
It's a pity, this is just something to think about. For someone like Shanks, it's already very difficult for him to be the "king" in this place for such a long time.
Shanks' mind has obviously started to wander recently. Seeing that the Goa Kingdom is on the right track, Shanks can't wait to leave the country and continue his journey.
"Time really flies by!"
"Mihawk and the others should be arriving in Dressrosa by now, right?"
Jiguo Yuanyi narrowed his eyes slightly and thought to himself that the sea breeze brought a slight coolness that made Yuanyi feel more comfortable.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Ji Guoyuan murmured and his eyes suddenly widened.
The waves, which had been gently lapping at the beach, suddenly gained momentum. A dark figure suddenly appeared in the azure waters in the distance, and Tsugumi Yoshiichi caught sight of it.
“Bang!!!!”
Suddenly, there was a muffled sound on the sea, and a wave suddenly rose up. After the sea water fell, a gray-brown sea monster stood upright on the sea.
The sea monster looked like an eel, with long fins on its back and a mouth full of sharp white fangs, showing its fierce appearance. At this moment, the sea monster was staring at Uta on the coast with its scarlet and bloodthirsty eyes.
King of the offshore seas!
At this time, Uta stood blankly on the beach, looking at the terrifying monster that was more than ten meters tall in front of him, and the small ball in his hand fell to the ground.
"roar!!"
The sea monster roared, its body rolled underwater, and with its mouth wide open, it lunged directly at Wuta. Wuta was so frightened by the sudden appearance of the giant beast that she dared not move at all. She could only stare blankly at the attacking beast with wide eyes. The fear made her forget even to cry.
"Uta!!" Shanks was also awakened at this time. After getting up, he saw the scene on the coast. He couldn't help but let out a low growl, his eyes full of tension.
When Shanks just realized Uta's dangerous situation, the recliner next to him was already empty.
The giant beast attacked, and just as Uta was about to die in the fish's mouth, a low buzzing sound suddenly sounded between heaven and earth.
“Buzz!!”
At the same moment as the buzzing sound began, Wuta suddenly felt her body lighten as she was lifted into someone's arms. As Wuta watched, the terrifying beast that had lunged towards her was suddenly severed in half the moment it fell. Its body split completely in two, one on the left and the other on the right, perfectly avoiding Wuta's position before collapsing onto the beach with a crashing sound.
Blood fell directly from the sky, making a rustling sound.
Uta looked up in confusion and saw that familiar and handsome face.
At this time, Ji Guoyuan was holding Wuta in one hand, and his big hand holding the long knife was covering Wuta's head, protecting Wuta in his arms.
“Wow—”
Seeing Tsugakuni Yoriichi who protected her, Uta opened her little hands and hugged Tsugakuni Yoriichi directly, buried her head in Tsugakuni Yoriichi's chest, and cried out.
"Okay, it's okay, don't cry."
The bloody rain stopped, Jiguo Yuanyi put down his arms, looked at Uta crying violently in his arms, and comforted her softly.
“Uta!!”
Shanks hurried to Yunyi's side at this moment, and whispered with concern. Seeing that Uta was crying so vigorously, he felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.
"fine."
"Haha. Hahahaha!"
Shanks felt relieved. He was obviously a powerful pirate, but after he was relieved, he felt his legs go numb. After muttering something, he sat down on the beach and laughed happily.
Shanks had a period of leisure time, and traveling with Yoriichi Tsugakuni made him a little lazy.
Even now, Shanks was still sweating profusely. He couldn't imagine what Uta would become if Yoriichi Tsugakuin hadn't been present today.
If Uta died because of his own mistake, he didn't know how to face his life in the future.
"Oh?"
"Isn't this Red-Haired Shanks? The brat on Roger's ship has grown up so big."
"Hmm"
"Yuichirō!!! Why are you here? And hanging out with the red-haired guy?!"
At this moment, a surprised shout suddenly erupted from the distant beach.
Shanks turned his head slightly and saw a middle-aged man wearing a floral shirt and shorts, pointing at him and Yoriichi Tsugikuni in front of him with his mouth wide open, with a look of astonishment on his face.
The middle-aged man has gray hair on his temples, a majestic figure, and a strong aura.
Upon hearing this, Ji Guoyuan turned around and looked back, only to see an extremely familiar figure.
"Vice Admiral Garp."
"Long time no see!"
When Yuan saw the person coming, he gently swung the long sword in his hand to shake off the blood, then held the sword in his backhand and greeted Garp with a smile.
The person who appeared on the beach at this time was none other than Vice Admiral Garp, the naval hero who "accidentally" returned to the East China Sea.
He sneaked into the central street in plain clothes to gather information about the Red Hair Pirates. When he was about to return to the ship, he noticed some movement on the coast and came to investigate.
Unexpectedly, I met Red-Hair Shanks and Yoriichi Tsugikuni here.
According to Tensei's information, Tsugakuni Yoriichi should have returned to the New World by now, but unexpectedly, Tsugakuni Yoriichi appeared in the East China Sea. Meeting Tsugakuni Yoriichi in such a place, Garp couldn't help but be surprised.
"Navy hero Garp?"
When Shanks heard Tsugikuni Yoriichi greet Garp, he also overlapped the image of Garp in front of him with the image of Garp he had seen in his childhood. Compared with the Garp he had seen back then, the current Garp was obviously much older, and his hair on the temples had turned snow-white.
Shanks murmured, a bad feeling suddenly rising in his heart.
"Yuichirō! Why are you in the East Sea?"
"And you're hanging out with pirates?!"
"Tianzheng lied about the report to Zhan Guo. What was the purpose of that kid hiding your whereabouts?"
Seeing Yunyi and Shanks together, Garp's face turned very bad and he kept asking questions. He had a vague sense of foreboding and wondered if Tsugikuni Yunyi had gone astray.
Meeting Garp in Goa Kingdom surprised Yoriichi Tsugikuni, but he quickly figured it out. It wasn't unusual for a grandfather to visit his grandson in the East Sea.
What's more, just a while ago, Tsugikuni Yoriichi's observation Haki captured the breath of a dragon. The father and son are still very concerned about Luffy.
Hearing Garp's question, Tsugikoku Yoriichi didn't intend to hide anything and replied with a smile:
"I only met Shanks because my subordinates discovered him when he came to the Goa Kingdom, so I used the bear's ability to come back."
"After meeting Shanks, I learned a little about him and found that he was a good guy, so I asked him for help and did something."
"That's all."
After hearing Tsugikuni Yoriichi's explanation, Garp seemed to have thought of something, nodded, and his expression quickly returned to normal.
"So that's how it is."
"So it was you who caused the Ugoya Kingdom incident."
"I think so."
"How could a mere pirate do good things that benefit the country and the people?"
"You're such a fool! You're a marine, but you have so many things to worry about."
"Although we are working to reform this country, collaborating with pirates is really too shameful."
Garp picked his nose, rolled his eyes at Shanks, and spoke to Yoriichi Tsugikoku. Garp was a contradictory person. On the one hand, he admired his lifelong rival, Pirate King Roger; but on the other hand, Garp also looked down on pirates. He considered his alliance with Roger to resist Rocks and protect the Celestial Dragons in the Valley of the Gods a lifelong shame.
Garp was not willing to mention the matter of protecting the Celestial Dragons at all, let alone joining forces with the pirates to protect the Celestial Dragons.
Seeing that Yoriichi and Shanks were getting close, Garp unconditionally trusted Yoriichi's words, but he still looked at Shanks with disdain.
"Once things here are over, I will leave Donghai."
"Although pirates are not good people, Vice Admiral Garp, you are still wrong about one thing."
"The reforms of the Goa Kingdom were solely driven by Shanks. I have no credit for any of it."
"I'm just an overseer."
Hearing Garp's words, Yunyi replied with a smile. Hearing this, Garp quickly understood the meaning of "overseer" in Yunyi's words. His eyes fell on Shanks and he murmured softly:
"oh?"
"Talented pirates are actually a greater threat to world security!"
"How about we arrest this guy right here?!"
