Pirates: I will first max out the domineering color if I am not dead

"At the very least, you need to take on this responsibility before our dreams and ambitions are achieved!"

As he said this, Xia Le started laughing.

"Are you satisfied with the peace and prosperity of Wano Country? Oden!"

"What about the world at large?"

“How many people are still experiencing oppression, torture, and war?”

"How many more people are displaced, confused, yet filled with hatred and fear, spending their days one after another?"

His voice turned serious and slightly deeper.

“The Navy’s purpose is good.”

"For justice."

“These are just four simple words, but it is so difficult to do them well and achieve them.”

"We have so much to do, even if it's impossible to be perfect."

"But as long as tomorrow is better, more peaceful, and more kind than today, that will be enough."

"Isn't it?"

Xia Le said softly.

Kozuki Oden was silent, his eyes filled with shock.

Xia Le's words were undoubtedly an awakening to him.

As long as the world's tomorrow is better, more peaceful and more kind than today, it will be enough.

Once upon a time, his dream was only Wano Country, confined to a country and an island.

Even after leaving the country, I still didn't think too much about it.

Until today, when he heard the other party's words, he seemed to vaguely understand Xia Le's ambition and saw a wider world.

"Would you feel comfortable handing Wano Country over to someone else?"

"Aren't you afraid of another black charcoal snake appearing?"

"Oden!"

Before he knew it, Xia Le placed his right hand on his shoulder.

Kozuki Oden's heart trembled, and he looked up into the other person's eyes.

"Now, the whole country supports you, and you are the only one who is popular among the people."

"Successor General!"

Xia Le turned and left without saying anything else.

Kozuki Oden was silent for a long time, and finally stood in the attic, quietly watching the people wandering in the streets, listening to their laughter, quarrels and fights.

He understood a lot of things.

Xia Le needs him to control the country of Wano. There are many people in this country, and they also need him to control power.

At noon, Kozuki Sukiyaki arrived.

The two of them were sitting across the tea table, and seemed very silent towards each other.

The tea in the cup was steaming, and the lid on the stove was shaking under the steam, making a sharp whistling sound.

"Oden, various rumors have begun to spread outside."

Kozuki Sukiyaki said with a sigh.

"I never said I wanted to be the general of Wano Country."

Kozuki Odendao.

"I know that your personality is not suitable for an important position like a general."

Kozuki Sukiyaki sighed.

"I have sent people to investigate who is behind the spread of this false news."

Kozuki Oden said in a deep voice.

"This is why I think you are not fit to be a general, Oden."

Kozuki Sukiyaki shook his head and sighed.

"Whoever is spreading these rumors, what you should do now is not to track down the source of these messages."

"Because, it doesn't mean anything. It can only prove."

There was a pause.

"Someone wants you to become the general of Wano Country and take control of this country that needs to be rebuilt."

"Perhaps, they are your subordinates, some families close to you, and some civilians who admire you."

"Or maybe someone else."

Kozuki Sukiyaki raised his head and looked straight at his silly son.

"But no matter what, you should understand what you should do next."

Upon hearing this, Kozuki Oden was shocked and thought of the conversation he had with Xia Le not long ago.

"and you?"

"I want to know what you mean."

"Do you also think that I should be the general of Wano Country?"

he asked in a deep voice.

Kotsuki Sukiyaki held the teacup in both hands, his expression looking extremely solemn. The hot steam filled his nose, and he took a light sip before he slowly spoke.

"You don't really have much choice, do you?"

"my son."

"Moreover, only you can lead Wano Country to a better tomorrow."

These words caused Kozuki Oden's body to tremble slightly.

After a long moment, he nodded.

"I understand!"

The conversation between father and son brought forward the succession ceremony of the General of Wano Country.

On the fourth day, Kozuki Oden ascended to the position of Shogun in the presence of daimyos, nobles, and samurai from major cities in Wano Country.

This position originally belonged to his father, Kozuki Sukiyaki, but was usurped due to the conspiracy of Kurozumi Orochi. After more than 20 years, it returned to the hands of the Kozuki clan and was inherited by Kozuki Oden.

The position of general can be said to have returned to its original owner.

Amidst warm cheers, Kozuki Oden succeeded the position of Shogun of Wano Country. He stood on the podium, raised the samurai sword in his right hand, his face solemn and dignified.

"I am Kozuki Oden, the new general of Wano Country!"

"I hereby pledge to spend my entire life making life better for everyone in Wano Country!"

"Peace, prosperity, and happiness will be the highest ideals that I, the new general, will strive for for you!"

Such an inaugural speech made the warriors and civilians in the audience shout with excitement.

Undoubtedly, Kozuki Oden's ascension to the throne is what everyone wants!

Then, one day later, the highest order was issued in the general's mansion.

"Wano Country will unite with the Navy to form an unbreakable alliance."

“We will build on this and go global.”

This order caused an uproar in the entire country.

"Open up the country!! This is General Oden's policy of opening up the country!"

"What does this mean? Are we going to have a chance to go global?"

"The Navy has built military bases in major cities and is recruiting new soldiers."

"There is no doubt that all of this has been approved by General Oden. You know, he is also a high-ranking vice admiral of the navy!"

"After traveling to various parts of the world, the Navy will do everything in its power to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of the civilians of our Wano Country."

“Can I really go abroad?”

The entire Wano Country was in an uproar and engaged in heated discussions.

That afternoon, in the general's mansion.

"My Lord Marshal, we have an unexpected guest in the harbor."

Xia Le raised his head and looked at the other person in confusion.

"uninvited guest?"

"The reason why we haven't identified their enemy is because their leader has stated that he is here to support us."

The officer's tone was a little strange.

"support?"

Xia Le was also stunned, and he asked with interest.

"I'm curious, who are they?"

"The Germa 66th Army is very famous in the world."

The school officer replied.

Xia Le was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

"interesting."

"The Vinsmoke clan?"

"Let them in. I am very interested in their purpose here."

The officer bowed and stepped back: "Yes!"

Xia Le lowered his head again and looked at the nautical chart on the table.

With the fall of Kaido, Big Mom, Red Hair and others, a lot of territories were naturally vacated in the New World.

Naturally, he would not let go of this large area. In the past few days, he had assigned tasks and ordered five generals, along with a lieutenant general, to go there to deploy arrangements.

In this special period, what he lacks is not high-end combat power, but grassroots.

As for the Germa Legion, although they were confused, they did not care.

Xia Le already had some guesses about their purpose.

Chapter 393 Meeting

Germa66.

It is an extremely famous legion worldwide, and they have left behind famous names such as "War Experts" and "Evil Army".

Originally an army of the North Sea Germa Kingdom, led by the Vinsmoke Family, they were active mercenaries around the world.

Xia Le naturally knew the details of this army. Sanji of the Straw Hat Pirates was a member of the Vinsmoke family.

Originally, he did not pay much attention to this mercenary legion.

Now, I suddenly heard in Wano Country that they came here to visit and support me? All kinds of stories about this legion suddenly came to my mind.

Germa 67 was founded 300 years ago. The legion is famous for its advanced science and technology. Its goal is naturally to dominate the North Sea again.

Many years ago, the current Vinsmoke chieftain, Judge, initiated the famous "Beheading the Four North Sea Kingdoms" event, beheaded the kings of the four North Sea Kingdoms, and painted a huge painting as a commemoration of the event. It was obvious that he was quite proud of this event.

Some members of his family are good at using bloodline factor transformation technology to allow ordinary people to have a stronger physique than ordinary people.

Specific scientific and technological advances include genetic modification, cloning technology to create large numbers of replica soldiers, and special shape memory armor.
