Chapter 231 New Year

"It's Chinese New Year again." Lily said while standing by the window looking at the falling snowflakes outside.

"Well, in the blink of an eye, all the beasts have been established for fifteen years." Kaido looked at several children downstairs who were not afraid of the cold chasing each other and having a snowball fight. Jack, the largest one, was being besieged. Charlie and Yamato were having a great time. Almost, and Maria was like a little adult, handing towels to a few people to wipe their faces from time to time.

"We have known each other for 28 years." Lily handed Kaido a cup of hot tea. Kaido didn't like this tea before, but after drinking a lot with Lily over the years, he gradually accepted this slightly bitter drink. .

"No, Yamato is five years old this year. Time flies so fast. It seems like it's gone in the blink of an eye. The fifth anniversary seems like it was just yesterday." Kaido expressed his feelings in a rare moment.

"Yeah, time flies so fast. At that time, the beasts still needed the two of us to support their appearance. Now we don't need to take action in many things." Lily thought about the three disasters that had fully grown up, and each played a role in their reputation. At two o'clock, even Yuuki Wakaba, Louises and Shumizu Denjiro have caught up, and now there are only the last two seats left in the twelve o'clock position.

"Speaking of which, that boy Louises actually chose the Pteranodon fruit. I thought he was waiting to get a superhuman fruit." Kaido said with a smile.

"What? Think about it, don't just pursue animals?" Lily joked with a smile.

"Hey, it's best to have the animal type, but you can't force it, right? The superman type is still quite advantageous in some aspects, but no matter what, domineering is the foundation. Without domineering, it would be impossible to bully ordinary people." Kai In fact, Duo has figured it out a long time ago, but he never said it, but in his heart, domineering is the most important, and the basis of domineering is the body. The animal type that can strengthen the body is definitely the best choice, especially the fantasy beast species. , the top phantom beast species contains the abilities of three series of devil fruits at the same time, the absolute son of the version.

"It seems that the reason Louises chose Pteranodon was because he wanted to fly, but looking at it now, it suits him quite well. Didn't Akishui Denjiro also choose the Spinosaurus fruit? I also thought he was a swordsman at the time , I don’t know how to choose fruit.” Lily thought it was funny when she thought about how Akushui Denjiro vomited after eating the fruit.

"I know that guy Denjiro. It is said that he was curious at the time and was encouraged by Azu and the others to try it. He found that it was very useful so he didn't take it out. Now he is thinking about how to combine his ability with his own tactics."

"Okay, no matter what, the middle-level strength of the beasts has now stood up, and we don't have to work so hard."

"Yes, I just hope that the matter of Wano Country can be resolved in the new year. We have delayed it for too long."

The two of them stood by the window, looking into the distance, thinking about the future. The children were still playing in the snow, and the members of the Beasts were taking a break. The picket team had stopped for the past two days and only maintained the minimum work. , and the people of Wano who were protected by the beasts warmly entertained the pickets. Many families with girls of school age even tried their best to invite the young men from the pickets to celebrate the New Year at their homes. The intention should not be too obvious. However, Kaido and Lily did not prohibit this. If both parties really saw each other, they would never stop it, or they would be happy to see it happen.

Seeing that the senior officials of the Beasts did not stop, and the grassroots of the Beasts did not refuse, the people of Wano became even more enthusiastic. Some brave girls went directly to the headquarters of the Beasts picket team to show their courtesy. If everyone in the picket team was They were just young and strong young men. Some of them were already married and even had older children. However, the girls from Wano still came up on the pole to find them, which made these people dumbfounded. They didn't expect that they were already old. And it has such great charm. (Guess what I’m mocking.)

But no matter what, the current situation at least shows that the beasts are indeed accepted and even loved by the people at the bottom of Wano. As the beasts become more and more popular, the nobles and samurai class of Wano are becoming more and more restless. Their living space has been continuously compressed, and now it is almost impossible to move forward. All the wisdom snails outside have been destroyed, and the wisdom snails in their hands have no use. Oden Gomai, who was originally the conspiracy of Orochi, actually turned out to be real. It became the only way to connect different cities, which neither Heitan Orochi nor Heitan Muchan expected.

Speaking of Kurotan Orochi, his current living standard has also plummeted. Although Flower City is the capital of Wano Country, its current situation is not as good as the last established and least prosperous Kuri Oden Castle. The reason is very simple. Because Oden City was built late, and because Jiuli was a no-care area at the time, there was still some land left in Oden City that could be used for farming. Although it was not very rich, it was at least barely enough to be self-sufficient and not go hungry.

In contrast, the Capital of Flowers, which has been the capital of Wano for many years, is dozens of miles away from the nearest farmland. After all, the noble Lord is kind-hearted and does not look down on the poor people who are foraging in the fields, so he should stay away, but We can't disturb the noble Lord's Qing Xiu, so the Flower City has always relied on the external supply of food. Since the beasts completely occupied the countryside, the Flower City has been cut off from supplies. If not for the Flower City's emergency The granary may have been famine-starved for a long time, but now the granary is gradually unable to hold on. After all, the Flower City, as the most prosperous city in Wano Country, has a large population and consumes food very quickly. Now it is The landlord's family has no food left.

For example, at this dinner at the General's Mansion, Orochi is not a person who can enjoy or not enjoy, but now he can only eat a simple dish, and he has to drink wine carefully, so as not to drink too much and not enjoy it later.

"Alas, how long do you think we have to hold on?" Orochi sighed and looked at Kurozumi Muchan on the side. He didn't want to find the dancers now, after all, those dancers need food to support them.

"At most one year, those samurai have long been unable to bear it, but no one has fired the first shot yet, but this is a matter of sooner or later, we can't be the first, this kind of thing must let Kozuki Oden take the lead, so that it is in line with our plan, don't worry, I have seen it in various daimyo castles, they are almost unable to bear it, but Kozuki Oden, that idiot, asked them to calm down and barely stabilize the situation, but now they have accelerated the production of weapons, and it is obvious that they are preparing for war." Kurozumi Muchan smiled sinisterly.

"Then what about our granary?" Orochi asked again.

"We can still hold out for a year, and we are not without other ways. As far as I know, those big families in the city still have food. We just need to find someone to pretend to be the people of the Beasts to rob them. When the big families in the city are in danger, the general will come forward and say that you have a way to ensure that the food will not be robbed, and then collect it and keep it together. Isn't it equivalent to all of it coming to our hands?" Kurozumi Muchan smiled sinisterly and said the plan to wipe out the nobles of the Flower Capital.

"Okay, this method is good!" Kurozumi Orochi's morality is also time-tested. He agreed to Kurozumi Muchan's plan without hesitation, and decided to do so regardless of whether there is a shortage of food or not. After all, his goal is to retaliate against the Wano Country, and naturally he will not let go from top to bottom. Those big families are also his revenge targets. Since they all want to retaliate, it's just right to retaliate now, and it can still play a little role.

At the same time, the lights of the Beasts' factory in Rabbit Bowl are still bright. When the person in charge of the factory came back from reporting on his work on Ghost Island, he thought he had seen it wrong.

"Didn't these guys say they would take a break today?" The person in charge muttered as he walked towards the factory gate. After all, these employees had worked overtime on their own initiative more than once or twice. Baishou offered high wages, and they were paid daily and paid more for more work, which led to a crazy internal competition in the entire factory. The person in charge was afraid that these people would die suddenly, and even forced them to take a break. It was a freak of the world, but it was such a freak state that Baishou made it happen.

"Bang!" As soon as the person in charge opened the door, a firework tube was pulled, which scared the person in charge.

"What the hell!" The person in charge shouted in fear.

"Hahahaha! Happy New Year, Director!" The craftsman who had just pulled the firework tube shouted with a smile, and the people around him kept echoing and saying Happy New Year. At this time, a long table had been set up in the factory building at some point, with all kinds of traditional Wano country food on it.

"You guys! What's going on?" The person in charge looked at the situation in front of him in a daze and couldn't react at all.

"Director, we think you're lonely when you're alone during the Chinese New Year, so we thought we could just celebrate the Chinese New Year together in the factory. It's more lively with more people, so we took the initiative and came here early this morning to work, just waiting for you to come back." An older craftsman came over and said. Last year, they found that the person in charge was alone in the factory watching things during the Chinese New Year, so this year they prepared in advance and came here.

"You guys, it's agreed that there will be no overtime pay for today." The person in charge was also very moved. He was a student who graduated from the Beast Academy, not one of those pirate fighters. He came to the factory to be the workshop director because he was good at production calculations. Because he was an orphan, he spent the Chinese New Year alone. Unexpectedly, he was discovered by these craftsmen.

"Hahahaha! No problem! Director usually takes care of us so much, today we will treat you!" "Oh!!!!"
