Although there were many opponents, Kurozumi Orochi still succeeded to the position of general.

This is where he was smart. He did not rush to show his desire to become a general, but instead began to shirk it.

"Although Lord Sukiyaki gave me the position of Shogun, I really don't have the ability to take on this responsibility. I am actually very resistant to this matter in my heart. Now that Lord Oden is the legitimate successor, how can I take over the position of Shogun shamelessly?"

"But Lord Oden is still overseas, and this country can't be without a general for a day. Therefore, I am willing to temporarily serve as the general. As an acting general, I will handle state affairs for Lord Oden first, and when Lord Oden returns, I will return the position of Shogun to its original owner!"

After saying this, there are no ignorant people who come out to make trouble. After all, Orochi is the successor mentioned by Sukiyaki, and they can't make him look too bad.

It's enough that Orochi is willing to give up the position automatically.

In this way, as the acting general, Orochi finally stood at the top. It's just that now is not the time for him to act recklessly. He has not yet mastered the core power of this country, and there is no way to tear his face for the time being.

The first day after Orochi took office, he increased the intensity of the maritime ban!

"Except for going out to sea to find Lord Oden's ship, all ships are prohibited from leaving Wano Country!"

This order was agreed by everyone as expected, only Shimotsuki Yasuie had a different opinion. Since the opening of the diving port, he has seen the changes in Jiuli. In his opinion, at least the opening of the diving port is still very beneficial.

"Mr. Yasuie, I, Orochi, may not have much courage and ability, but the maritime ban policy has been implemented in Wano Country for thousands of years. In any case, at least there will be no huge mistakes in doing so, right?"

"If there is to be a change, then wait until Lord Oden comes back. I think only Lord Oden can decide whether to lift the isolation order."

Orochi said seriously and looked humble, but in fact it was just to prevent people like Shimotsuki Yasuie from going out to sea to find Oden privately.

"In view of what you did before, I can only temporarily take over the control of the diving port." Orochi said.

Shimotsuki Yasuie was helpless. Strictly speaking, his previous actions did violate the laws of this country. Although the former general did not hold him accountable, he had no choice but to agree now that Orochi said so.

It was because of this honest man, Yasuie. Otherwise, any other daimyo would not let others interfere in the affairs of his village so easily, even if this person was the acting general of Wano Country.

After Kurozumi Orochi left, Shimotsuki Yasuie thought about it and found Yuriko who was planning to return to Kuri.

"Miss Yuriko, now that the port of Qiangang is about to be closed again, the rent agreed with Mr. Xia Lin before... I will find time to send it back to Kuri." Shimotsuki Yasuie said with difficulty, and it seemed that he was still very reluctant.

It makes sense. Xia Lin signed a ten-year contract with him, and the annual rent was as high as 12,000 gold, which means 120,000 gold in ten years! As a result, not even five years have passed, and he has to return 60,000 or 70,000 gold at once.

"You are talking about this, it doesn't matter, Lord Xia Lin said that those properties will be given to you as gifts." Yuriko said generously. Sixty thousand gold is not even money in Jiuli's eyes now. A Ruins Guard can be sold for more than sixty thousand gold.

Moreover, now that Qiangang is taken over by Orochi, isn't it still under Jiuli's control? It's just that you have to be careful when transporting the goods.

In fact, the first batch of orders for Ruins Guards has accumulated a lot of wealth for overseas "Inazuma", so Xia Lin doesn't even need to focus on the overseas trade of Wano Country itself.

Shimotsuki Yasuie probably didn't expect Xia Lin to be so generous.

Although sixty thousand gold is nothing in a township, it is a lot for his own wealth. He has already spent the rent he received before, and now if he wants to pay it back, he can only take it out of his own treasury.

Shimotsuki Yasuie took a sip of tea, and then asked, "Has Mr. Xia Lin not returned yet?"

He knew that Xia Lin had received the news from Wano Country, and thought that Xia Lin was on his way back. In fact, Xia Lin had no such idea at all.

The current environment on the sea

, the little "Inazuma" overseas can't do without him. Although the last war with the Golden Lion made the "Inazuma" famous, no one knows what will happen if he is not in charge.

"Lord Xia Lin doesn't plan to come back for the time being." Yuriko explained.

"Don't plan to come back?" Shimotsuki Yasuie asked in surprise, "But now the sea ban..."

"That's why Lord Xia Lin decided not to return for the time being."

"It seems that there are indeed a lot of profits to be made overseas." Shimotsuki Yasuie quickly figured out that the reason why Xia Lin did this must be that there were enough interests to support him.

But he was still too narrow-minded. He only knew that there was a lot of profit, but he didn't know how much profit there was!

Other weapons and products have now become extras. The deposit for purchasing the ruins guard alone is enough to buy several countries!

The conversation between the two ended like this. Yuriko and Ayame returned to Jiuli with their entourage. On the way, there was a little accident. A group of gangsters or some underworld forces targeted them.

Most of these people came from other villages. They happened to see Yuriko's beauty at the funeral and became interested. So they lay in ambush and prepared to take action.

Unfortunately, let alone Ayame, Yuriko alone is no ordinary woman now.

Ayame certainly did not let Yuriko take action, but subdued them with thunder. When the silver blade cut through these people's bodies, there was not even a trace of blood.

All the limbs of these people were cut off.

Ayame still had a mask on her face. No one recognized her, but she recognized these people.

"It's the underworld behind Suzuki. He used to be a low-ranking person under Suzuki Kaito. I didn't expect that he has become one of the leading figures of the underworld now." Ayame said.

After she asked for the news, she cut off the man's head.

"The underworld?" Yuriko lay on the sedan chair, lowering her head and thinking, "This is also a force that cannot be underestimated."

After a moment, she raised her head and said, "The army and ninjas of the Flower Capital, if Kozuki Oden does not return for a long time, it will not be difficult for Orochi to control them. On the contrary, the power in the hands of these underworlds and some nobles will become an obstacle.

"It is best to find an opportunity to make the underworld leaders of other villages become our people."
