One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 282 I’m really ashamed

"I'm really ashamed..." Kozuki Sukiyaki expressed his gratitude very sheepishly while eating the food provided by Profik.

He felt very embarrassed. It would be nice if he had a dog-licking mask to cover his face...

Because of his mediocre strength, Sukiyaki, who had finally escaped with his life, rarely dared to rob the supplies escorted by Kuotan Orochi's men. As a result, he was often hungry and now there was not even a grain of rice in his house. Not only did there not be any extra food to entertain guests from afar, they even had to rely on food from Profik and others to satisfy their hunger.

If it was Feiteru Tengu, he could admit very frankly that he had no food.

But the identity of Kozuki Sukiyaki has been exposed, and the situation is completely different.

A former general of the country of Wano was reduced to such a state that it even made him feel worse than dying at the hands of Orochi.

Fortunately, before coming to Wano Country, Profic was already prepared for the poverty and hunger here, and brought plenty of food and drinking water in advance.

No matter how powerful a person is, he still has to eat. In the current Wano Country, all food and safe water sources are controlled by Orochi and Kaido. If the lack of food affects the combat effectiveness and leads to the final overturn, Profik will regret it.

Hu Zhihai stuffed his stomach, ate several clean rice balls, and drank a large bowl of water. Sukiyaki finally suppressed his hunger. Although it was the simplest food, Sukiyaki felt that it was simply the most delicious meal he had ever eaten in his life, even more delicious than the jade plate delicacies he had eaten when he was the general of Wano Country.

Only those who have been hungry can understand how thankful it is to have a full meal.

"I haven't had such a full meal in a long time!"

Kaido's rule in Wano was simply "genocidal". Pollution from heavy industry is directly discharged into inland water sources and land, polluting a large amount of land and also controlling safe drinking water. In the beginning, people could still rely on hunting for a living. Later, even the animals that could be used as prey were contaminated with toxins and became inedible. Even in the world of One Piece, this kind of rule can be called inhumane.

Kaido once had a grand ideal, which was to bring everyone on the same battlefield and completely realize his long-cherished wish of "everyone is equal." Now it seems that he has partially realized his ideal in Wano - dragging Wano's former generals, some daimyo, and samurai to the line of starvation and struggling with the civilians.

However, this "pull down" is not thorough. His transformation of Wano not only failed to establish a new world, he even failed to completely destroy the old world. The very few people in Wano who can now have full stomachs are still the nobles, samurai and big businessmen of the Flower Capital. As for ordinary people, all they can do is look for food in the garbage piles left by the nobles.

Although Kaido has built many factories in Wano, the people who work in them are a group of slaves, there are no real workers, and the products produced have almost nothing to do with the "market" and "people's livelihood", and are more like ancient times. Craftsmen dedicated to serving the royal family. Under such a production model, it is difficult to say what progress has been made in Wano's productivity. It is even less possible to produce social changes like the Industrial Revolution.

To exaggerate a bit, if it weren't for the huge difference in individual combat power in the world of One Piece, ordinary people would have no power to fight back against a top powerhouse like Kaido, and a large-scale civil uprising would have broken out in Wano Country long ago.

Seeing the satisfied look of sukiyaki in front of him, Profik couldn't help but sympathize with the former general. Going deep into the lives of the masses is the best way to transform the privileged class. I hope that after eating enough, he can figure out some things.

After finishing the meal, I felt fuller than ever before and the sukiyaki was very satisfying. He even felt that he had returned to the time when he was a general of Wano. It would be even more perfect if there were a few more dancers and singers to dance and play music.

He realizes that the past is irreversible, and he knows that he can pursue what he has come back. The past events can no longer be undone, and the current opportunities are what he should strive to seize.

"Mr. Profic, can you tell me what 'The King's Shichibukai' is? What is 'Breaking Dawn' about?"

For the monarchs of ordinary countries, it may have become common knowledge that the Shichibukai is king, but for the isolated country of Wano, this is indeed a big problem. Moreover, since the two sides are holding talks and there is even the possibility of cooperation, Sukiyaki feels that he needs to know more about the relevant issues.

"You should know about the 'World Government', right? The so-called 'Shichibukai under the King' is a big pirate officially recognized by the World Government and enjoying privileges. Each Shichibukai under the King has its own pirate group, and 'Dawn' is ours. The name of the pirate group."

"Are you from the World Government? The World Government would actually cooperate with pirates?"

Sukiyaki is still wary of the world government. Although he had no dealings with the World Government when he was the general of Wano, he still knew a little about the grudges between the World Government and Wano, and he also knew that the World Government coveted Wano.

In addition to being wary, Sukiyaki was also puzzled - the World Government, which they had not seen for a few days and was chasing pirates every day, was actually reduced to cooperating with the big pirate? At the same time, he glanced at Profic and others a few times. The pirates who could make the World Government condescend to others must not be ordinary people.

At least, Kaido couldn't do it. Maybe the strength of the group of guys in front of them can be comparable to that of the Beasts Pirates.

This is the misunderstanding of sukiyaki. Most of the pirates recruited by the Shichibukai are young people who are just starting out, or silver medal players on the sea. Yonko-level pirates like Kaido are not considered. They will not bow to the world government, and there is not much benefit for the world government to recruit them.

On the contrary, big pirates like the Yonko are the targets of checks and balances in the Shichibukai. The Shichibukai system provides another option for pirates who are unwilling to succumb to the four emperors, and they can also help the world government weaken the potential power of the four emperors. From this perspective, the Shichibukai system is to some extent the product of competing for talents with the four emperors.

"This is true in name, but the World Government cannot interfere with the Shichibukai's daily actions, so you don't have to worry, we will not help the World Government invade Wano Country."

"That's good..."

Sukiyaki breathed a sigh of relief. He was very worried before driving Kaido away, and an even more terrifying force ushered in to continue to control Wano Country. In that case, the Guangyue clan's plan to restore the country may really have to wait until twenty years later. Now it seems that at least the hidden dangers of a world government can be ruled out.

"But... Wano Country cannot be the same as before."
