A night of revelry.
After the feast, it was time for post-war reconstruction. After all, Wano was now the territory of the Beasts Pirates.
Noro, transformed into a winged serpent, soared through the sky, looking down from above, taking in the entirety of Wano.
Uh…
How to put it? A scene of devastation.
After Noro's "Li Mei Barbecue" yesterday, not a single building in Wano was left intact!
Although Noro didn't regret it, how could they recover quickly?
How did that island nation recover so quickly after World War II?
That's right…
Implement a "Noro Plan"!
Noro immediately contacted Feld, asking him to transport a large batch of supplies to Wano.
Receiving this call, Feld was somewhat incredulous.
Wano, which had been closed off for hundreds of years, Wano, which even the World Government couldn't handle, had actually been conquered by the Beasts Pirates.
Without time for further amazement, Feld put down the Den Den Mushi and excitedly ran off to prepare the supplies.
Wano was much larger than Baltigo, so the amount of supplies Noro needed this time was naturally extremely terrifying.
Noro hung up the phone, a knowing smile on his face.
Next was to wait quietly for Feld's supplies to arrive in Wano.
Then, it was time to let these islanders rebuild their homes.
Only rebuild their homes. The homes wouldn't belong to them. Their destination was the Udon quarry.
He had said he would let them "grow potatoes," and he would definitely let them "grow potatoes."
Soon, Feld had transported all the supplies Noro needed to the waters near Wano.
Speaking of which, this guy was really well-connected. So many supplies, a veritable fat sheep, yet no pirates robbed him. He arrived at his destination safely.
One wondered how much protection money Feld paid to those great pirates each year.
Seeing Noro descend from the sky and land on the supply ship, Feld approached quickly with a smile. "Mr. Noro!"
"Boss Feld," Noro greeted him.
Feld bowed and nodded. "I didn't expect Mr. Noro to come and greet me personally. I'm truly flattered!"
A businessman was a businessman. He knew how to talk.
Under normal circumstances, Noro wouldn't personally greet him. At best, he was just a merchant. The world of pirates respected strength above all else.
Feld clearly knew this as well, always keeping his posture very low, showing no hint of the underground emperor's dignity.
It was really as difficult as ascending to heaven to land on Wano. Even the Whitebeard Pirates had capsized there.
Noro didn't want his supplies to be overturned and fall into the sea, so he had come personally.
Without much small talk, Noro summoned Flame Clouds and pulled all the supply ships onto Wano, and Stussy paid the bill.
Watching the golden paradise in her Door-Door world shrink, Stussy's heart ached, and she was practically bleeding.
She couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, "If you were going to rebuild, why destroy it like this yesterday? Really."
"Hmm?"
Noro turned to look at her. "What are you muttering about?"
Stussy denied it outright. "Nothing, nothing. You misheard."
Noro's Observation Haki was good enough that he couldn't have missed what Stussy said. He chuckled.
"Don't just stare at these small sums of money. When the Udon quarry is built, you'll be counting money until your hands cramp."
Stussy's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly, "Really?"
Noro nodded slightly. "Mm."
When the time came, he would just have the islanders dig more. Sea Prism Stone was a rare commodity overseas.
Returning to the base, Kaido had just hung up the phone. Seeing Noro arrive, he waved him over.
"What happened?" Noro asked, puzzled.
Kaido took a swig of sake, laughing boisterously. "Kru has followed the minks and found Zou. He called to ask me what the next step is. I told him to wait for the vice-captain to come back so we can discuss it before replying."
"Let me think," Noro said, stroking his chin.
The reason he hadn't killed the minks back then was to play the long game, otherwise, there would have been no way to find that elephant that was always walking on the sea.
There was also a red Poneglyph on Zou.
And he was the Beasts Pirates, so the beasts on Zou should naturally be ruled by the Beasts Pirates.
Of course, if Zou's current king dared to be as arrogant as the minks were against Jack in the future, if the whole country would rather die than submit, Noro could fulfill their wishes.
Kaido raised the corners of his mouth arrogantly. "Are we going to attack Zou now?"
Noro shook his head slightly. "Not yet. Our eight thousand crew members need to be divided up to occupy the six regions of Wano. We don't have enough troops to occupy Zou."
"Then you say," Kaido still habitually didn't use his brain, leaving the problem to Noro to handle.
Noro pondered for a moment and said, "Let Kru get a Log Pose reading on Zou. We'll go over after Wano is stable."
"Alright, I'll reply to Kru now," Kaido nodded, picking up the Den Den Mushi and dialing again.
Noro, meanwhile, went to the conference table, looking at the map of Wano.
Wano, not including Onigashima, was divided into six regions.
The Flower Capital, as the capital of Wano, should naturally be ruled by Kaido.
Udon was the main quarry. If he wanted to torment those islanders, then Udon would be left to him.
Kuri had originally been a desolate and crime-ridden area, but Oden had managed it well. Queen was the fourth to join, so he would be in charge of it.
Ringo would be left to Englar Alaric and Matty Tao, and Udon would be left to Raja and Aharu.
After dividing all the areas, Noro immediately convened a meeting of all the Beasts Pirates executives.
The others had no objections to the vice-captain's arrangements, and each led their crew members to their respective destinations.
Only Noro sighed almost imperceptibly. This group of people couldn't even put together one brain.
The post-war reconstruction of Wano was in full swing, but the Beasts Pirates crew members didn't lift a finger.
The pirates stationed in Wano only ate, drank, and had fun, and then slept with the women of Wano.
The women of Wano not only had no hatred but welcomed them with smiles, serving the Beasts Pirates crew members attentively.
There were even many who offered themselves as bed partners!
Completely within Noro's expectations.
With inherent servility in their blood, the more you suppress them, the more willing they are to offer you everything!
Time flew by, and a year passed in the blink of an eye.
The Sea Calendar had reached 1490.
With Noro's reckless spending and exploitation of Wano's labor force, Wano had already returned to its initial prosperity.
The quarry had long been built, and a large number of Wano men were escorted there to "work."
Noro wasn't like those capitalists. Noro was still very humane.
At the quarry, they only needed to work sixteen hours a day. Noro gave them a full eight hours of rest!
And Noro's system was one day on, three days off. For every year of work, they could have three minutes of rest with their eyes closed.
Of course, there was no salary. You were already working. You still wanted a salary? There was no such thing as having it both ways.
Kaido had officially become the supreme ruler of Wano in the Flower Capital.
Of course, not "Shogun," but "Emperor."
A vassal state was a vassal state.
Others were either emperors or kings, but Wano was called "Shogun." Even the title was inferior.
Noro and all the other main executives also had their own official positions in Wano.
Noro became the "Myo-o (明王)" of Wano.
King was the Grand General.
Queen was the Minister of Scientific Research.
Stussy was the Minister of Finance.
Matty Tao was the Minister of Propaganda.
Englar Alaric, Raja, Aharu, and Kru, who had returned from Zou, were all Army Commanders.
