Chapter 243 Year 1491 of the Haiyuan Calendar
In the year 1491 of the Haiyuan calendar, nothing special happened on the sea.
Compared to the great war at the end of 1489, the Pentecostal Exposition of 1490, and the World War II that followed, 1491 was a very uneventful year.
But even so, in some corners of the world and on unknown islands, wonderful stories are still being played out.
Wano Country, Kuri region.
"Lord Oden!! Slow down, I can't keep up!"
Kozuki Oden was running in front, raising a cloud of dust, making it impossible for 'Fox Fire' Kin'emon to catch up behind him.
As for Denjiro, Kanjuro, Kikunosuke, Raizo and others who came later, they couldn't even see Kozuki Oden's butt.
"Ahahahaha!~ Little wild boar! How dare you cause trouble in my Jiuli?!~"
As soon as the words fell, Kozuki Oden flew up, crossed his Ame-no-Habiki and Enma, and the swords flew across:
"Oden's Two Swords Style: Togen Shirataki!!!~——"
The two swords were swung at high speed with domineering aura around them. In an instant, they cut the huge wild boar like a mountain into two!
Kin'emon behind him paused, looking at the godly and devilish scene in front of him in shock, and swallowed his saliva. Denjiro, Kanjuro and others who had just caught up with him also stopped to watch, shocked at the unparalleled strength of Lord Oden.
After this battle, Kozuki Oden eliminated the 'mountain god' who had been causing trouble in Kuri for many years, that is, the big pig mentioned earlier. His good name spread widely in Kuri, and he became a great hero passed down by word of mouth, the wise king of Kuri.

"Father, why is the Yunyun Fruit still stored in the national treasury? We spent 1 billion Baileys to bid for it at the Pentles Wan Expo. Isn't it to be used in Alabasta to improve the climate and benefit the people?"
As the crown prince, Nefertari Cobra was very puzzled by her father's behavior.
The old king glared at Cobra unhappily.
"Humph! Do you think I don't know?! If you weren't such a coward and didn't let me have grandchildren, I wouldn't have given you the Yunyun Fruit. That's what I left for my grandchildren!"
"……Forehead."
After hearing his father's unpleasant words, Cobra didn't know what to say.
As the monarch of Alabasta, it was normal for his father to have some selfish thoughts. Why couldn't he give the Cloud-Cloud Fruit, which could benefit Alabasta, to anyone else? Why couldn't he give it to his future son or daughter?
As for how to improve the climate of Alabasta, Cobra also made other efforts. He invited many meteorological experts to study a special substance that seems to be able to increase rainfall.

New World, Totland of Nations.
BIG MOM is very angry today because it has been more than a year since she brought back the slave Moria from the Expo, but she still hasn't conceived a child of Moria's bloodline, which makes BIG MOM very angry.
As for the anger, naturally all of it was directed at the unpromising Moria:
"Mmmmm!!~Moria! What kind of punishment do you think MOM should give you?"
Moriah, who was shivering below, turned pale instantly. For the past year, Moriah had been living an inhumane and miserable life, so that his fear and hatred for BIG MOM had reached an extreme. At this moment, just hearing BIG MOM's speech, Moriah almost wet his pants.
He stammered and replied:
"Please give me one last chance! I can do it!"
Big Mom looked at Moria suspiciously:
"Well, then I will trust you one last time. If you still can't conceive a child with the blood of the ghost clan, then you can disappear!"
Soon, an inhumane roar was heard again in Charlotte Linling's bedroom. It was Moria's cry.
Charlotte Katakuri outside heard this and couldn't help but shake her head slightly, then left.

New world, 10,000 meters above the sky.
The headquarters of the Sky Pirates, Ente Island.
"Everyone, I have called you here this time to make personnel arrangements."
Agulhas Gutt, who was sitting in the first seat to the right of the golden lion, stood up and announced.
If you look closely at the seats in the hall at this moment, you can clearly see the order of the Flying Pirates.
The golden lion sat in the main seat with his eyes slightly narrowed, not taking care of anything. Gut was in charge of personnel arrangements, and the golden lion himself was just responsible for being a mascot.
The 'King of Heaven' Rhine sits in the first position on the left side of the golden lion, corresponding to Gut in the first position on the right side.
As for Hirakawa Torajiro, who had just joined the Hikubo Pirates for a year, he was now sitting next to Rhine, representing the position of the number one fleet captain.
Lily, the 'Jelly Queen' who grew up in Fleet No. 2, was next to Gutt.
And so on, following them are fleet captains such as Monlala Pepe, Brianna Rania, It, Zuofist, and Peteris.
Gutt continued:
"This personnel transfer is very simple. Pitlis will be promoted by two ranks to become the captain of the fifth fleet. It and Zuofist will be demoted by one rank."
Gutt did not use a questioning tone, but announced directly without even looking at It and Zuofist, or even at Pitlis.
But even so, It and Zuofist did not complain at all.
Since Pitlis's strength is now higher than both of them, it is normal for his sequence to move forward.
This is how the Flying Pirates are, the strong are respected.
"In addition, it is time for the annual exchange of jurisdictions. According to convention, the captain of the first fleet will exchange with the captain of the twelfth fleet, the captain of the second fleet will exchange with the captain of the eleventh fleet, and so on."
"Yes!"
"Ah."
"clear."
"Okay~"
“Wuhaha~!”
Everyone expressed their understanding, except, of course, Monlala Pepe:
"Pei?~"
Yes, Monlala Pepe couldn't understand Agulhas Gutt's personnel transfer and jurisdiction exchange.
Everyone was not surprised, because in the past, Petlis would laugh at Pepe's stupidity, but as everyone got to know each other better, they got used to Pepe's clear stupidity.
Gut also explained to Pepe alone as usual:
"Pepe, go ask your deputy captain. He knows."
"Pei!~"
Pepe nodded heavily to show that he understood.
"Okay, that's the arrangement for this year. Everything else remains the same. The protection fees paid by various sea areas will also be paid in a 30% to 70% ratio. Those who violate the rules will be responsible for their own actions. We are not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of various countries."
It has to be said that under the leadership of a wise man like Agulas Gutt, even pirate forces like the Hiku Pirates have become well-organized.
At least the reputation of the Hiku Pirates in the New World is very good.
As long as you pay the protection fee, you will really be provided with protection. The Flying Pirates will never interfere in various internal affairs of the group.
Moreover, this protection fee is a drop in the bucket compared to the high price of Tianshangjin.
As time went by, the various kingdoms began to change their views on the Flying Pirates.
Even in the eyes of many people in the New World, the Hiku Pirates are a force ten thousand times stronger than the World Government, and the Golden Lion is a great man ten thousand times kinder than the Five Elders.
If this is the case with the Flying Pirates, the situation in Whitebeard's territorial waters must be even worse!
In the eyes of those forces and civilians who were protected by him, Whitebeard was a kind-hearted man who was like a reborn parent and could protect them from the wind and rain in the chaotic new world.
Similarly, the territorial waters of 'Dream Maker' Roy, 'Swift Swordsman' Xia Nuo, Wang Zhi, Yin Axe and others are in a similar situation.
As a result, the new world presents a kind of vitality, vigor and freedom where all things compete.
The people of the New World are even more grateful to the King of the New World above their heads.
