Chapter 132 One Year Later

In the memory of Kozuki Sukiyaki, Kozuki Oden kept getting into trouble when he was young.

He threw his wet nurse out when he was born. He threw a boulder to kill a giant bear when he was 4 years old. He started going to Huajie and Liuxiang when he was 6 years old. He drank and fought with gamblers when he was 8 years old. When he was 9 years old, he burned down a gang casino and was arrested for violently injuring others.

When he was 14 years old, he changed the course of the river due to drought and caused a flood. When he was 15 years old, he caused a harem rebellion in the temple.

Later, he failed to go to sea 38 times and continued to violate the laws of Wano.

Cynical and unruly, he even cooked on the bones of his friends.

For a long time, Sukiyaki felt that this son was most likely useless and would never become a qualified general in the future.

At that time, just like today, he deprived his son of the name of Guangyue and severed their father-son relationship.

But today, it was this son who took away his surname in the name of a general and was imprisoned here.

"I almost caused the destruction of the country of Wano. I have no complaints about being imprisoned or sentenced to death."

Sukiyaki looked at Oden: "After Orochi introduced Kaido to Wano Country, I had no choice but to live in seclusion wearing a mask."

"I'm happy that you can come back and defeat and kill Kaido and Orochi, but I never wanted to show up again to take your position as general."

"I am a loser and let the country of Wano be taken away by the black charcoal snake in my hands, so you are the qualified general who brings order to the chaos. I recognize this."

"but!"

Speaking of this, Kozuki Sukiyaki's eyes were full of anger and confusion.

"But you should not ruin the centuries-old foundation of the Kozuki clan and allow those monsters to speak nonsense in Wano Country and allow them to spread those dangerous ideas!"

"The position of general is not only yours, but also the will passed down by the Koyue clan for hundreds of years!"

"laugh!"

In the underground prison, a sarcastic chuckle was extremely clear.

Oden looked at his father: "The will of the Kozuki clan? Does my father really understand what the will of Kozuki is? Why did the country of Wano build a high wall to form a moat to isolate the country from the outside world? Does my father really know the reason?"

Sukiyaki was stunned.

Not just him, but probably no one in the entire Wano Country knows about it except Mrs. Toki and Oden.

Even though he was a former general, all Sukiyaki knew was that under the Wano Country, there was the Wano Country that was submerged by rainwater eight hundred years ago. Deeper underground, there was also the ancient weapon Pluto.

If you want to release ancient weapons, you must destroy the outer wall of Wano Country, which means lifting the natural moat blockade and completely establishing the country.

"Why is the ancient weapon Pluto under Wano? Does father think it is just a coincidence?"

Oden continued: "In eight hundred years, the world is about to undergo great changes. The future stance of Wano Country was decided eight hundred years ago. And the ancestors saw two futures of this world, but No matter what happens, the mission of Wano Country and the Kozuki Clan is to help them.”

"When my father agreed to unite with the World Government, did he think they didn't understand the specialness of Wano? How can he be a qualified lord if he only takes chances for his own benefit?"

After the words fell, Sukiyaki lowered his head and clenched his hands tightly.

After a while, a deep voice sounded: "A few months ago, I was still under house arrest. It was not until Kaido was defeated and Wano won the war that I came out of the secret room under Fujiyama."

Speaking of this, Sukiyaki raised his head with tears on his face: "Maybe I am not a qualified lord, but you are definitely not a qualified Kozuki clan!"

Oden's eyes narrowed slightly.

He remembered that his husband had said that his father was still alive, but he did not say that he was in a state of imprisonment.

So, was it expected?

"call……"

Oden exhaled: "The power of the country of Wano and the descendants of the descendants lies with the Lord, so I chose the country of Wano. There is nothing wrong!"

After the words fell and the two of them had given their own explanations, Oden left the underground prison directly.

After understanding the truth of the matter, Shigetsuki Yasuke and Kozuki Sukiyaki, although they still did not agree with the revolutionary army's ideas, they accepted their own mistakes.

Three days later, the three daimyo of Wano were executed, Sukiyaki was imprisoned in a dungeon, and Momonosuke was placed under house arrest in the Shogun's Mansion.

And Oden seemed to have forgotten the existence of this son and ignored him.

…

In the courtyard as the sun set, Xiao Rihe said hello to He Songqian at the door, and then walked into the courtyard where he was under house arrest.

At the doorstep, Momonosuke was sitting on the floor looking outside, paying no attention to Hiyori who came in.

Opening the food box and placing it on the ground, Hiyori looked at Momonosuke: "Today I have your favorite pastry, which was made by my mother."

These words made Momonosuke's body tremble, but he remained indifferent.

Hiyori didn't say much. He took out the notes about today's class lecture from his backpack, opened them and started talking.

"In a country, the resources generated by the people are limited. The aristocracy and the upper class collect contributions from the people at the bottom to provide themselves with a prosperous and enjoyable life."

"The wine and meat in the rich families stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road. The meaning of this sentence is that the distribution of resources is abnormal, resulting in the upper class still enjoying the resources, while the lower class people can no longer survive. That is..."

"So how do the people at the bottom become nobles? How do they become the upper class? The final result is that there is no way. The so-called glory of the surname and the so-called inheritance of blood from generation to generation make the people at the bottom hopeless for promotion. Survival is already the best effort."

"When resources are sufficient, they can enjoy themselves while the lower class people can survive, and everything will be in peace."

…

"So... managers are qualified managers only if they are recognized by everyone, can bring a prosperous life to the people, and can serve the people."

After finishing today's lecture, Hiyori began to pack up the food boxes on the floor and prepared to leave as usual.

And from beginning to end, she never called her brother again.

Just when he was about to stand up and leave, Momonosuke spoke for the first time without looking back: "Why do you come and tell me these things every day? You should know that I don't like these thoughts."

Hiyori looked at him: "Because if you want to be the manager of Wano Country, you must know these ideas. Only those who are recognized by all people can serve all people."

"Serve?"

Momonosuke smiled sarcastically: "I am no longer of the Kozuki clan, but the Lord serves the people, do you think it is possible?"

Hiyori replied: "Why is it impossible? When I just returned to Wano Country, Mother gave all the money to the people of Jiuli to help them work and survive with difficulty. At that time, Mother got Approved by all the people in Jiuli.”

After the words fell, Momonosuke fell silent.

My mother's hard work at that time flashed through my mind, as well as the days when she could only have enough to eat and her clothes were patched.

But when he left the Daming Mansion in Jiuli, all he received were kind smiles, informal addresses and food.

At that time, he felt that these were all natural, because he was the Kozuki clan and the future of Wano. As long as his father came back to defeat the enemy, he would be the next general.

But now... there is nothing left.

"Isn't your dream to become a female president? Isn't this title a manager?"

Momonosuke stood up and was about to kick over the food box, but was frightened back by Hiyori's cold gaze.

"You...you want to do something? Now I'm just...just an ordinary person, you...you can't hit me!"

His timidity wiped out all the confidence he had just gained, but it also disappointed Hiyori.

It's still the same, with no progress at all. In the face of personal gain, he is willing to work hard without caring about his own life, and in the face of small difficulties, he habitually chooses to retreat.

"I'll come back tomorrow. If you can't sleep, you can think about what I talked about today."

Hiyori picked up the food box and left.

Momonosuke behind him fell silent again, looking at the leaving figure with anger in his eyes.

…

As time goes by, because of this execution and Kozuki Oden's self-destruction, the conflicts between the classes in Wano are becoming more and more intense.

More and more people are beginning to accept ideological liberation. The feudal-minded warriors are isolated to a certain extent, and there are many people who intend to riot. However, as a general, the Kozuki clan itself is a member of the support for the new ideas.

Like the dead Shigetsuki Yasujia, these people began to focus on Sukiyaki who was imprisoned in the dungeon, and Momonosuke who was under house arrest in the Shogun's Mansion.

However, after several operations, their number began to decrease. It seemed that Oden had already anticipated this situation.

In the first bloody conflict, a group of warriors were surrounded by a podium, but they were surrounded by equally angry lower-level people.

When there was a stalemate, a push became the trigger. This time, more than 30 people died.

In the end, everyone was arrested, nine samurai were executed, and forty-nine were imprisoned.

They felt betrayed by Oden and began to spread rumors that General Oden was being coerced.

In the second bloody conflict, samurai and ninjas attacked the Revolutionary Army lecturer's camp at night, resulting in heavy casualties. In the end, the Revolutionary Army was acquitted.

…

In one conflict after another, the die-hard elements were gradually eliminated.

In the end, Leo Goro of the Flower City stood up and expressed his support for the lecturers' new ideas and believed that the old ideas of the past should be abandoned.

Therefore, after the largest noble Kozuki Oden surrendered to the enemy, the chaos began to gradually stabilize.

The country of Wano also ushered in a real ideological reform, and the three regions that lost their daimyo began to trial a new system.

The people of Baiwu elected five people and became the managers of Baiwu, and began to implement a four-year replacement system.

…

A year passed quickly, and the revolutionary army followed Mr. Tinder's guidelines and developed latently.

In the New World, the name of Immortal Kaido of the Beast Pirates has gradually expanded its influence, and the island towns it shelters will only collect a small proportion of taxes, making the New World a real paradise.

Lecturers from the Revolutionary Army spread ideas on these islands, and these suffering people are more receptive to ideological liberation than those in Wano.

The complicated lines are developing, but the people in a fixed area will not know the term revolutionary army.

But when facing pirates, they learned to resist, and with their will awakened, they began to have the power to resist, although they were still very weak.

Within a year, the revolutionary army disappeared on the sea, and those who were active basically had pirate vests.

…

East China Sea, Windmill Village.

Kevin looked at Dorag, who was holding a child beside him, with a puzzled face: "Who is the mother of this child?"

Dorag showed a cruel smile: "That is a gentle and kind woman."

Kevin curled his lips: "So you asked her to give you a child? And then ran away?"

These words made Dorag silent, but the smile just now also disappeared.

Obviously, the wrong thing to say.

After apologizing, the two walked to Windmill Village in silence.

Kevin looked over at the protagonist in his memory. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that he was very ugly, just like little Nami back then.

But in just a few months, it should look good.

Soon, Dorag knocked on the door outside a yard, and soon Garp, wearing big pants, opened the door and walked out.

After taking a look at the face of passerby Kevin, he picked his nostrils and said, "The cloaked man?"

Kevin looked at his ordinary clothes and asked in surprise: "Can you recognize these?"

Garp smiled disdainfully: "The Revolutionary Army has indeed kept a low profile in these years, but the World Government and the Navy have also found out something. If I, an old guy, didn't still have some reputation, I would have been in Impel Down by now."

Then several people entered the house.

Garp glanced at Kevin: "As the commander-in-chief of the revolutionary army, you are not an ordinary person who can send my eldest grandson here at such a special time. Coupled with your special teleportation ability, it is natural to send him here." It’s the most convenient.”

"How's it going? Aren't you awesome?"

The proud Garp took the baby, reached out and poked the child's cheek: "What's your name?"

Drago said: "Luffy, Monkey D. Luffy. My current working environment is not suitable for raising him, so I can only ask you."

"Hmph!"

Garp snorted twice: "As long as you know what you are doing, at least you brought me a grandson. If you die outside in the future, I will pretend that you don't know."

Dorag shook his head slightly: "We will win the final victory. Such a world where life is worse than death for ordinary people needs the existence of people like us."

These words made Garp look over: "You have no idea what kind of power Mary Joa possesses."

Kevin on the side leaned against the wall and said, "Maybe you don't know what kind of power we have."

Garp smiled and turned to look at Kevin: "What an arrogant kid! Teleportation? That high-temperature flame? Or the freezing that has only been used once? Sometimes the more you know, the only choice is to turn a blind eye, kid. ”

As he spoke, Garp put little Luffy into the cradle he had prepared, and after shaking it gently for a while, he continued: "Everyone is born equal, and life is not noble or cheap? You really dare to say that..."

"That means you don't have the strength to support this idea now, otherwise..."

Before he finished speaking, Garp did not choose to continue, but instead asked: "Do you think the justice of the Navy is really like this? Sengoku, He, Zefa and I, we are already considered old guys. Is the justice that the Navy upholds so corrupt?”

Kevin replied: "We don't think so. On the contrary, we know very well that there are also many people in the navy who insist on true justice, but they have no choice but to choose justice that stabilizes the sea."

Garp nodded slightly: "It's quite clear. It seems that Dorag, the so-called gentleman, is right, but what can you rely on?"

"As now, they are everywhere like rats in the sewer, but in the end if you want to achieve your goal, you have to show up, and the results of showing up are already obvious."

The words fell, but neither Kevin nor Dolag spoke again.

The purpose of coming to Windmill Village was to hand Luffy over to Garp, rather than to expose their reliance.

The old man took a period of leave, which allowed Roger, who was out of tune, to concentrate on his work for a period of time.

After all, if Garp returned to Windmill Village, he would not be able to return home.

Seeing that neither of them answered what he meant, Garp waved his hand disdainfully: "If you have nothing to do, leave quickly, otherwise I will have a sudden idea and send you two criminals to the city."

Dorag bowed slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."

After saying that, he turned around and took Kevin directly out of the yard.

After the two left, Garp stood up and looked over.

After all, he is his son, and in Garp's inner understanding, what Dorag did was indeed right and he followed his heart.

On the other hand, although he himself was not promoted to general because he did not want to protect the Tianlong people, this was the last sign of his stubbornness.

Over the years, he rarely set foot on the Chambord Islands. Because he was worried that like the young man many years ago, he would not be able to resist his inner impulses.

After sighing, Garp returned to his usual nonchalant demeanor, turned around and started teasing his eldest grandson.

There is not much time to take leave, and then I will have to find someone to help raise my grandson.

"Luffy...when you grow up, you must be like grandpa and become a brave marine!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the baby Luffy in the cradle burst into tears.

Garp was stunned: "Do you want to be like your cheating father? That's not possible. Grandpa will definitely train you to become a powerful navy!"

"Whoa whoa whoa!"

Little Luffy's cry was obviously louder.

After a while, Garp was sweating profusely, and coaxing him for a long time seemed to have no effect.

Finally, Bellemere, who was passing by, came in and discovered that little Luffy had wet the bed.

After some busy work, Bellmere said with a smile: "She's about the same age as Nami, so she can be a playmate in the future."

At this moment, Garp seemed to have seen a savior, rubbing his hands and feeling a little embarrassed: "Um... Can you please take care of little Luffy later? Because when I am on vacation, there will be no one to take care of this child, so..."

? ? ?

Bellmère was confused.

So, for helping, he picked up another little brat to take home?

"You know, there are already two children at home, so..."

Garp waved his hand: "Old man, I will pay!"

...
