Chapter 143 Adjusting Yamato

Yamato looked at Lu Li's eyes and subconsciously felt uneasy.

Because she found that every time Lu Li showed such a look, strange problems would arise, and then her outlook on life would be impacted and she would become autistic.

"Brother Lu, Sun Dasheng..."

Yamato spoke first.

However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lu Li raising his hand, "Yamato, I just thought of a question."

"But I don't want to hear Brother Lu's questions..."

Yamato's face was full of bitterness, and now she began to wonder if she was Kozuki Oden.

"Do you still want to hear Sun Dasheng's follow-up?"

Lu Li had a smile on his face, like a strange man trying to trick a little girl.

The look on Yamato's face was very complicated. She wanted to know the sequel of the story, but she didn't want to listen to Lu Li's questions.

After a fierce inner struggle, her desire to hear the story defeated her inner fear of the question, and she reluctantly nodded, "Okay, Brother Lu, please tell me."

Lu Li raised his hand and pointed at the prisoners who were suffering and not having enough to eat, "Yamato, are these the people of Wano Country?"

Yamato didn't expect Lu Li's question to be so simple, so he nodded, "Of course, otherwise why would they be locked up here."

The corner of Lu Li's lips curled up, "Then let me ask you, Yamato, do you think they are pitiful?"

"Pitiful?"

Yamato tilted his head, "It's not very pitiful, after all, you can eat here. People who are not imprisoned here also have to work to eat. The old, weak, sick and disabled can't have enough to eat here. The country of Wano doesn’t have enough to eat either.”

Lu Li was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Yamato's simple mind to be able to give such a philosophical answer.

Perhaps it is precisely because Yamato is a naive psychopath that he can see the essence through phenomena.

If you think about it carefully, this is really the case. People like those in Guri don't even have a way to make a living by selling their labor force. And in today's Wano Country, people who live a normal life just sell their labor force or other things in exchange for Just daily necessities.

"Brother Lu, do you think they are pitiful?"

Seeing that Lu Li was silent for a moment, Yamato asked.

"It doesn't matter what I think of them. Does Yamato feel uncomfortable when he's hungry?"

Lu Li asked from a different angle.

Yamato thought for a moment and said, "It's very sad. If you put it this way, these hungry people are really pitiful."

Speaking of this, she looked at the old, weak, sick and disabled differently, because she had subconsciously thought that Tudon Prison was a place where she could have enough to eat.

In addition, every time she came here, she focused on recuperating her injuries and getting food, and then escaped from prison after her injuries were healed, so she never noticed that there were still many prisoners who did not have enough to eat here.

Lu Li used herself as an example. She immediately recalled the pain of starvation back then, and she immediately felt some empathy with these prisoners.

"Yamato, don't you always say that you are Kozuki Oden? Let me ask you, what is Kozuki Oden's identity?"

Lu Li continued to ask.

"He is a man who wants to become the general of Wano, a hero who wants to found a country for Wano and overthrow Kaido's tyranny."

Yamato replied without thinking.

Lu Li did not rush to refute Yamato this time, but just nodded, "So he is the hope of Wano Country. You also said before that he is a person loved by the people of Wano Country."

"Of course!"

Yamato nodded excitedly, thinking that Lu Li finally recognized her.

But what Lu Li said next made her fall into deep thought, "So, as the leader of Wano Country, if you think these people are pitiful, why don't you help them?"

Yamato was stunned, completely confused.

After a while, she took out Kozuki Oden's diary and flipped through it quickly, her eyes becoming even more confused.

"I am Kozuki Oden..."

Yamato's voice was vague, "So I don't have to help them."

"Yamato, do you know what you are talking about?"

Lu Li said seriously.

Yamato's body trembled, and the diary in her hand fell to the ground without even holding it steady. However, she did not rush to pick it up. She looked at Lu Li with fear in her eyes, "I...I don't know, I...I am light." Tsuki Oda, but Kozuki Oda will not personally help the poor people, nor will he help the country in times of crisis. I just need to be loved by the people. "

Lu Li knew that Yamato's psychological defense was collapsing, so he took advantage of the victory and said, "You may also find it strange. Kozuki Oden was a man who left the people who trusted him and went out to take risks when the country was in crisis. After he returned to Wano Country, , and have never done anything practical for the people. Do you think this is really right?”

Yes, although the original work has been trying its best to exaggerate how the "heroic and good man" Kozuki Oden is loved by the people, he only does bastard and stupid things from beginning to end, and has not done even a single practical thing for the people.

The people who were starving did not have enough to eat because of him, and the people who suffered from the cold did not mention the absurd things he did when he was young because he was clothed warmly. After he returned to the country of Wano, he only compromised with the black charcoal snake and pretended to be a man every day. looking clown.

Well, it's not about enduring humiliation and arranging to cultivate counterattack forces behind the scenes, but simply acting like a clown while dancing, giving Kaido six years to develop.

Gou Jian, the king of Yue, knew how to be patient while accumulating strength while lying on his back, but Kozuki Oden was a waste of time and lost with four two plus two kings.

When he was dancing and acting like a clown, not to mention secretly organizing a counterattack, he didn't even do anything practical for the people. He even hunted and gave food to children in impoverished areas without even cooking. So at that time, the people of Wano Country were I really hate Kozuki Oden.

Because they had been enslaved by their comrades for many years, they just hoped to wait for Kozuki Oden to come back to save them, but in the end, this guy compromised and stripped naked and danced on the street every day.

In the end, Kozuki Oden was defeated and died after jumping into a frying pan. Someone told him that the reason for his forbearance was that there were some hostages in the hands of the black charcoal snake, and everyone was so moved...

Hmm... Anyway, Lu Li thinks it's a bit abstract, both Kozuki Oden and the people of Wano are quite abstract.

Lu Li felt that the only thing he could identify with Kozuki Oden was his strength and integrity.

"But...but Kozuki Oden has always been like this."

Yamato's voice became smaller and smaller, and she felt like something was collapsing crazily.

"It's always been like this, right?"

Lu Li asked back, pointing at the old and weak prisoners who were grateful for being given leftovers, "Yamato, you also feel sorry for them. You clamored to defeat Kaido and liberate Wano Country, but in these years you have only challenged your father. Besides, have you ever helped the people of Wano?"

Yamato was confused by the question, with tears flashing in his anxious eyes, "I, I feel like I should help them, but it doesn't say in the diary that Kozuki Oden will help the people himself."

"If it's not written in the diary, why don't you do it? Don't you think you don't have to do anything for the people to make them love you?"

Lu Li said that he actually felt that Kozuki Oden might have done nothing, but this did not prevent Kozuki Oden from being loved by the people.

The people of Wano do not so much worship Kozuki Oden as they hate Kuotan Orochi and Kaido. In contrast, they feel that the Kozuki family is very good. They are loyal to the Kozuki family and not just to Kozuki Oden. This person.

To put it more bluntly, it is the theory of blood. Wano Country is a feudal country, and the people naturally believe that the rule of the Kozuki family is natural, so even if a monarch like Momonosuke is pushed out, they will accept it. He bowed his head and was moved to tears.

But to be fair, if Kozuki Oden really becomes the ruler of this country, will he govern Wano Country well?

But that’s not necessarily the case…

Judging from his life experiences of having a prostitute at the age of 6 and raping civilian girls at the age of 15, and having no management experience, he may be a fool after he ascends to the throne of general.

As for Momonosuke who became a general at the end of the chapter of the Kingdom of Japan in the original book, let alone letting a perverted kid of a few years old become a general to manage the country, well, yes, this is great.

"Isn't that true? Because I am Kozuki Oden, of course I will be loved by the people."

Yamato said hesitantly.

Lu Li smiled, "Then you go and walk around, shout that you are Kozuki Oden, and see if they will love you and worship you."

Yamato was silent. It was true that she had never done this kind of thing before, but everyone looked at her as if she was mentally ill and ignored her.

"Wake up, Yamato, you are not Kozuki Oden. They are just numb people under the feudal social system. They naturally succumb to the theory of blood. Even if you have perfectly inherited Kozuki Oden's spirit, with his strength, and If he does the same thing, no one will love you."

Lu Li's words were like a sharp knife that kept piercing Yamato's heart. "In a sense, in the long run, his contribution to this country may not be as good as your father's."

Yamato was helpless under Lu Li's verbal output. She could only argue where she felt she could fight back, "How can it be inferior to Kaido!? Kaido has only brought pain to this country!"

Lu Li raised his head and looked at the factories in the distance and the smoke that penetrated into the clouds. "Kaido has done a lot of damage to the environment, but it is undeniable that he has brought this country into the industrial era. This is a kind of progress, but he It is too cruel and ignorant of management that makes the country like this.”

Based on his previous observations and analysis, he felt that although the people of Wano are very poor in some areas, such as places like Kuri, the living standards of residents in the core cities are pretty good.

In fact, this country is not short of food, but there is a huge problem in distribution.

Overall, Lu Li feels that the current Wano Country is likely to have a better economy than the previous Wano Country ruled by the Kozuki family.

It's easy to understand. What Kaido wanted was a complete country, so he didn't burn, kill, and plunder in Wano. He existed as an endorsement of the ruler, that is, as the country's guardian king.

After Kaido arrived, the weapons factory was established, the artificial devil fruit business, and the seastone products made by Wano craftsmen were exported, which brought huge economic benefits to the Beast Pirates and Wano. Benefit.

Of course Kaido is a villain, but he broke the borders of Wano and allowed this closed and backward society to move forward.

Hundreds of years or decades later, after this country is no longer under the rule of the Beast Pirates, it will undoubtedly enter a period of rapid development, because the industrial foundation and economic foundation have been established.

Even if Kaido knew a little bit about management, he would be able to govern the country of Wano very well now, not only ensuring the happiness of the people, but also greatly increasing the production capacity of his factory.

It's just that Kaido is a pirate with no culture, and he only wants to catch the fish.

The two biggest crimes Kaido committed against this country are that he allowed people like Kurozumi Orochi to manage Wano Country, which was considered as supporting a dirty villain and allowing Kurozumi Orochi to oppress the people of Wano Country.

Second, his factory did not pay attention to environmental protection at all and directly destroyed the local river ecology. It was not long at the moment, but in another ten years, it is estimated that all the surrounding farmland will die. At that time, famine will spread and drinking water will not be guaranteed.

As for whether the products produced by Kaido's factory are "inhumane", let alone seastone and weapons production lines, artificial devil fruits are indeed products with side effects, but if this thing is sold to the outside, it is not cheap.

There are many people in this sea who are willing to take risks for their abilities, so Kaido's artificial devil fruits sell very well.

And Kaido does not have the bad taste of Kurozumi Orochi. He throws away the fruits he has eaten directly. The situation of Kuri is caused by Kurozumi Orochi's abnormal psychology.

And even if he stops the devil fruit business, selling weapons and seastone industrial products alone can bring enough income to the Beasts Pirates.

There is another point that Lu Li wants to complain about, that is, the artificial devil fruit is so weak. Kaido's inferior products are not comparable to those developed by Dr. Vegapunk. They are ugly and have many side effects after eating, and the improvement of ability is not necessarily much.

Kaido gave so many subordinates artificial devil fruits, but in fact, can these miscellaneous soldiers really be used? They are all stuffed with domineering color.

Lu Li seriously suspected that Kaido was fooled by Doflamingo, so he joined hands with the other party to engage in such unreliable business, which was a waste of money and labor, and most of them were produced and sold by themselves, and many members with potential were scrapped.
