Chapter 181 World Government Missions Come To Wanokuni!
Chapter 181: The World Government's Delegation Arrives in Wanokuni!
Wanokuni.
In reality, Kaido also has a considerable territory. After being under the jurisdiction of Zaraki Kenpachi, the protective area of the Eleventh Division has expanded to cover all territories.
Originally, the New World was divided among the Four Emperors, who each occupied certain territories, along with their subordinate countries. The rest of the area was made up of scattered countries occupied by other pirates.
Among them, the territories under the Four Emperors accounted for more than eighty percent!
In other words, the nominal territory of the Eleventh Division now constitutes one-fifth of the New World.
Wanokuni used to be relatively important to the Eleventh Division, but after Kaido's surrender, its significance diminished significantly.
Fortunately, there are many samurais from Wanokuni in the Eleventh Division, giving them considerable influence.
However, everyone knows that the one who truly decides things is that man!
"How boring!" Zaraki Kenpachi sighed and turned his head. "Hey, that guy named Jin, how about we have a little fight?"
"I let you cut me first, how about that?"
Ember of the Inferno:
Kaido and the others behind him twitched their mouths, not knowing what to say.
In fact, Zaraki Kenpachi has said this kind of thing more than once. He said it to Jack the Drought before, and that idiot Jack actually believed him.
After Zaraki Kenpachi cut him with his sword 240 times, the subsequent battle almost ended with Zaraki Kenpachi being killed...
This monster is not someone you can take advantage of by cutting him once or twice!
"But it's a bit strange." Kaido squinted his eyes and thought to himself, "I always felt that Kenpachi was weaker than before for a while, but recently that feeling has disappeared, and he even feels stronger..."
"Is it just my imagination?"
Zaraki Kenpachi glanced at Kaido's expression and shook his head inwardly—it's not your imagination.
Because the previous Zaraki Kenpachi was a clone!
A clone is naturally weaker than the original.
And now, with Zhao Xu's return as the original, his strength has naturally increased after enhancing the realism with the power of the Devil Fruit he obtained.
At the same time, with his return, he also gained control over the Devil Fruits stored by the Beasts Pirates.
The clone is Uchiha Madara's Wood Style clone, which Uchiha himself praised as the only one who saw through it as an enemy.
Even Uchiha Madara, who saw through it, relied on his eye power.
In the pirate world, unless there is some special fruit, it is almost impossible to see through it—of course, even if it is not seen through, the clone's combat power is inferior to the original, unless there is overwhelming strength, otherwise it can only be used for reconnaissance, confusing the enemy's vision, and so on.
However, the problem is that Zhao Xu has overwhelming strength.
Saitama's physical abilities, Uchiha Madara's ninjutsu, Zaraki Kenpachi's Reiatsu, Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasms.
Even though the clone is weaker than the original in terms of abilities, at this moment of constantly increasing realism, it is already on par with the top experts in the pirate world.
Unless he engages in a full-scale battle with the Four Emperors, the chances of exposure are slim.
"However, even so, does Kaido still have some suspicions based on his intuition?" Zhao Xu squinted his eyes and inwardly sighed, "The Four Emperors are indeed the Four Emperors!"
But even if he vaguely feels that something is off, he still doesn't make a move.
To prove that I can still continue to conceal it.
"In any case, as my strength increases, his intuition should also become less effective. And are there any enemies in the pirate world stronger than the Four Emperors?"
Zhao Xu remained calm and composed.
...
The integration of Wanokuni is still ongoing.
Although Kozuki Hiyori has regained her identity and continues to rule Wanokuni with the bloodline of the Kozuki family, her female identity is indeed troublesome.
Fortunately, many remaining pirates from the Beasts Pirates have joined the Eleven Supernovas, suppressing some unruly individuals and deterring many dissatisfied citizens.
However, even so, Kozuki Hiyori has not been able to completely control all the rights of Wanokuni.
Gender issues, age issues, and various problems left behind by Kurozumi Orochi are troubling her.
What troubles her the most is food!
Kurozumi Orochi has taken control of all the excellent food in Wanokuni, leaving ordinary citizens unable to consume these foods and only able to eat food contaminated by factory wastewater.
Now that Kozuki Hiyori is in power, it is natural that she cannot act like Kurozumi Orochi.
However, there is only so much land available for growing crops, and the production cannot be increased in the short term.
Kurozumi Orochi also did not store too much food, and faced with the mouths of the hungry people in the country, even the sun is worried.
Fortunately, representatives from the World Government have arrived!
"World Government..." Kozuki Hiyori squinted her eyes, looking at the massive ship.
This is a ship that Wanokuni is currently unable to build!
"I heard that this time the representatives from the World Government have come to discuss the issue of Wanokuni joining the World Government," said Sake Tenmaru in a low voice.
"Sake Tenmaru, how do you know?" asked Hikari Mitsuhiyo with curiosity.
Sake Tenmaru's face turned red as he turned his head away.
Can he say that he learned about it from some members of the former Kaido Pirates, who are now part of the Eleven Supernovas?
The Kaido Pirates and Wanokuni have a deep grudge!
Although the greatest hatred is towards General Kurozumi Orochi, there is still animosity.
Seeing Sake Tenmaru's expression, Kozuki Hiyori immediately understood what was going on.
There is no way. Wanokuni has been closed off from the outside world for many years. Although the decision to open the country has been made, it is not so simple to establish contact with the outside world.
"General, be careful," Sake Tenmaru's face was red, but he still whispered, "We have been isolated from the outside world for years. They might bring some traps."
"Okay," Kozuki Hiyori nodded, a hint of pressure flashing in her eyes.
The entire country rests on her shoulders, and this burden is too heavy for a young girl.
However...
She instinctively turned her head and saw a familiar figure.
Fortunately, she is not without help!
And Zaraki Kenpachi, looking at the World Government delegation, was also taken aback.
"To think it's still a familiar guy..."
