Chapter 144 Kaido Watching the Live Broadcast
At this time, Kaido, who was far away on Ghost Island, watched the conversation between Lu Li and Yamato through the screen.
He was very dissatisfied when he heard Lu Li say that he was too cruel and didn't understand management, which was why Wano Country became like this. "Is there anything bad now? Our income is rising every year, and the pirate group has been grow."
Kaido, who is not very bright, has been most proud of his occupation of Wano Country in recent years. He feels that without this decision, he might still be wandering on the sea with Jhin.
It was precisely because of the territory of Wano that he gradually gained money, recruited troops, and formed such a large beast pirate group.
So when Lu Li said he didn't understand management, he felt insulted.
"Hahaha, this young man just likes to talk arrogantly. In fact, he has never managed a country before, so that's why he says this."
Black Maria laughed at the side and said that she didn't think it was okay for Lu Li to say that Kaido was cruel. For a pirate, this should be regarded as a compliment.
As for management, she also disagreed with Lu Li's point of view, because the person responsible for managing Wano these years was not Kaido, a rough guy, but the management plan arrived at after discussion by the 'think tanks' below them.
Not to mention the 'rebels' who followed Oden in the rebellion. They were all sent to Tudon Prison and sentenced to life imprisonment, where they had to work and mine every day.
But those who work in Wano's artificial devil fruit factory, sea stone factory, and iron ore processing weapons factory are paid wages.
In the eyes of these pirates, isn't it a great favor to pay you wages even if they don't kill you? Isn't this called lack of management?
Kaido and the other two looked at the screen, and Yamato in Rabbit Prison also spoke angrily, "What kind of contribution is this? The river water has been polluted, and the people in the fringe areas cannot drink clean water, so many people Got sick and died."
The corners of Lu Li's lips curled up, "Huh, it seems like you haven't paid attention to the living conditions of the people in this country."
Yamato's side face bulged slightly when he heard this, "Don't underestimate me, okay."
Lu Li nodded with a smile, "So you also know that the environment of this country has been destroyed by factories, but environmental pollution problems can be solved through reasonable emissions. Kaido did not consider these problems, so I say he will only fish for the best. Don’t understand long-term development.”
"So what contribution has he made? I just feel that the people of Wano are getting worse every day."
Yamato said, "At this pace, I am afraid that in another ten years, the river water will be completely polluted and will be impossible to drink."
"Well, let's not talk about the environmental pollution problem for now, but these various factories have really solved the employment problem of many people, haven't they? And these basic buildings will become the foundation of the rich country of Wano in the future."
Lu Li said and gave another example, "Do you still remember the country called Neon that I mentioned when I told you a story before? They also closed the country in isolation, and were finally opened by cannons. They were oppressed and enslaved, but they also advanced in advance. Entering the era of industrialization, it has developed rapidly and become a powerful country in the world, so everything is a blessing and a blessing, and has two sides. "
He leaned over to pick up Oden's diary that Yamato had dropped, "But what did Oden do? Although he did not cause any great damage to this country, he did not bring progress or improve people's lives. He is truly ' He is inactive, but he has the ability to do things, so I don’t like him.”
It is conceivable that if Wano Country did not have such a powerful fighting force as Oden, it would be just an ordinary general defending the country. In a place like the New World, Wano Country is as rich in resources, and there would be other pirates without Kaido. Knock on the door.
If it were a pirate group with even less brains and vision for development, Wano Country might be even worse than it is now. Now that Kaido is in charge of Wano Country, at least no kittens or puppies would dare to come and cause trouble. There is a superficial sense of 'peace'
Of course, Kaido really doesn't care about human affairs. This depends on his education level and outlook on life. He doesn't care about governing the country. He only thinks that he can gain profits and make himself stronger.
Kaido has a great purpose, he wants to overthrow the ruler of this world and create a new, more reasonable world, but his process is wrong.
Although it is said that those who achieve great things do not stick to trivial matters, a person who does things unscrupulously cannot convince the people.
"I...then do I want to do something now?"
Yamato looked at Lu Li in confusion. She felt that as someone who wanted to liberate the Country of Wano, a hero of the Country of Wano should do something for the people, so that the people would love her and she could found the country of Wano.
But in the diary, it seems that the real Kozuki Oden does not do these things... and she feels that she should follow the will of her idol.
"When you asked me this question, you already had the answer in your mind, didn't you?"
Lu Li said with a smile.
As if a beam of light shone into the darkness, Yamato suddenly became enlightened. She realized that since she asked Lu Li this way, it meant that she had questioned Kozuki Oden's behavior and that she wanted to help the people in distress.
"But if I do this...does it still count as Kozuki Oden?"
Yamato had new questions.
Lu Li looked into Yamato's eyes with a serious expression, "In my eyes, you have always been Yamato. My friend is not Kozuki Oden, but Yamato."
Yamato was shaken and took action instead of continuing the discussion on this issue.
She got up and exchanged her remaining food stamps for a pile of flatbreads. Then she walked around the quarry and distributed the flatbreads to the prisoners who were too old and weak to eat.
After receiving the pie, all the prisoners were grateful to Yamato, but there were a few prisoners who knew Yamato's identity and had no good feelings towards Kaido's daughter, and did not accept Yamato's charity.
The blatant distribution of food in Tudon Prison is probably the only one that has happened since the prison was opened.
It's just that none of the jailors stopped Yamato. On the one hand, it was not explicitly forbidden to give one's own food to others in the prison, and on the other hand, Yamato was the 'young master' of their Beasts Pirates, and ordinary jailers would not do this. It would be bad luck for Yamato in matters.
Yamato came back after shopping around, her face glowing with glory and very happy. Obviously, the feeling of being appreciated and respected by others made her feel a little elated.
"How does it feel?"
Lu Li asked with a smile, taking a bite of the pie while speaking.
"It feels great. I have never felt like this before. I clearly said I was Oden, but they ignored me. Now I don't say who I am, I just give them pie, and they thank me very much." , it’s amazing.”
As she spoke, the excitement on Yamato's face gradually faded, and it was obvious that she was feeling confused again.
"This is a matter of course. People will not be grateful to someone without any reason. Only when they have truly received a favor will they thank you from the bottom of their hearts."
Lu Li said, "The person they thanked just now was not Kozuki Oden, but you, Yamato, it was you."
Yamato was stunned for a moment when he heard this, "The one they are thanking...is me?"
"Of course, even if many of the people who accept your pie know that you are Kaido's daughter, they are still grateful to you."
Lu Li looked into Yamato's eyes, "Do you know why this is?"
"Why?"
Yamato was puzzled. She thought that if she was Kaido's daughter in the eyes of these people, wouldn't they hate herself?
"Although there are some brave warriors who reject you, those who accept the pie are not necessarily cowards. They are willing to accept it and thank you because they feel your sincerity."
Lu Li explained, "You do understand their difficulties. When a person wants to help others, that kind of kindness from the heart will be reflected in your eyes."
Apart from anything else, Lu Li felt that Yamato had a basic ability to empathize. It at least meant that she was not an inhumane person, but she was just a little crooked in her early years.
In essence, Yamato is just a bold and innocent little girl. If she can live as herself, she can become a normal person.
"So that's it... But I want to help them because I want to become Kozuki Oden and liberate the country of Wano. Being loved, feeling pity for them is not the main reason."
Yamato said confusedly, "Is this okay?"
Lu Li shrugged, "Why not? And you will gradually understand that you are not Kozuki Oden at all. If you can accomplish these feats, the people will be grateful to Yamato in the end, not Kozuki Oden."
Yamato was lost in thought, while on the other side of Onigashima, Kaido laughed happily.
"Maria, this kid is really good at talking. Yamato seems to be really starting to reflect and question her identity now!"
Kaido said with a smile. He watched the surveillance camera and waited for a long time just to wait for the 'Training Yamato' program.
In the end, Lu Li did not disappoint him. He was very satisfied with the training session after lunch. When he told Yamato directly this time, he no longer called himself Kozuki Oden, but instead said "I want to be"
And he could feel that the aura of Kozuki Oden's idol in Yamato's mind has been much weaker now. Maybe if she hangs out with Lu Li for a few more days, Yamato will really stop being Kozuki Oden.
"Although it is a good thing that Master Yamato is gradually repenting, don't you think the direction Lu Li gave her is not right? She is still going to rebel now."
Maria reminded from the side, meaning don't be happy so early. Even if your daughter is no longer Oden, she will still rebel against you.
Although this Lu Li gave Yamato a better understanding of himself, his stance was hostile to the Beast Pirates and he was leading Yamato to truly engage in revolution, which seemed very bad to Maria.
In the past, Yamato just thoughtlessly claimed that Oden did nothing, then she was just living in her own world and playing house. But if Yamato really starts to work for the people, gathers a group of subordinates who love her, and finally fights with Kaido If you do that, you'll be in big trouble.
"Hahaha, what's there to worry about?"
Kaido smiled and waved his hands, very boldly, "Let her come! I'll be waiting for her on the throne!"
In his opinion, his daughter is still weak, so every time she comes to challenge him, he has to pay attention to his strength when teaching.
Is he, Kaido, afraid that others will rebel? He was never afraid of a challenge.
And as long as Yamato gets rid of the entanglement of the undead Kozuki Oden, Kaido has the confidence to let his daughter understand that his father is also a great hero.
After all, if he cannot fulfill his dream in this life, the family fortune will eventually be inherited by Yamato.
If Yamato has the strength to take it with his own hands, Kaido will not be angry, but will be gratified by his daughter's strength and courage.
