The sun above Icewood City was particularly bright after several battles.
The residents in Icewood City were also busy moving. The last time Shimizu Akihiro unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, he knocked out the people within one kilometer of the Lord's Mansion. Although no one knew it was Shimizu Akihiro who did, it is guessed that the previous incident of widespread unconsciousness is definitely related to the people in the Lord's Mansion. After all, this situation only occurred around the Lord's Mansion.
There has been a lot of commotion in the Lord's Mansion recently, and no one has rushed to ask, everyone decided to find a way to stay as far away from the Lord's Mansion as possible.
After knowing the decision of the people of Icewood City, Shimizu Akihiro was very happy. It happened that he could train his Conqueror's Haki in the Lord's Mansion without worrying about the comfort of the people.
He decided to simply dismiss all the ordinary servants in the mansion and start training in an orderly manner again under the supervision of Vergo.
And Kitano Ichiro seemed to have been hit. He often fought with Crocodile. You must know that Crocodile was not a good person. He would not stay behind every time. Kitano Ichiro was also beaten half to death and was carried away.
Of course, Crocodile and Vergo's suggestion was to let him train as Shimizu Akihiro's opponent, but this guy was unwilling to do anything. He kept saying something about His Highness' body of gold, and that he didn't dare to try to harm it. Crocodile was so angry that he started to strike more and more times.
"Your Highness, there is a letter from the capital of Land of Water," T Bone glanced at Kitano Ichiro, who was beaten to the ground again. He happened to see Shimizu Akihiro finishing his training, and he said immediately.
"In addition, the Land of Sea has been making frequent moves recently and has severed all ties with Kadan Island. All merchants and Samurai from the Land of the Sea have also evacuated Kadan Island."
After a pause, T Bone also reported what happened on Kadan Island recently.
"The Land of Sea?" Shimizu Akihiro nodded while wiping his hands that were dirty from training. When Kawahara Fujiro, the son of the Daimyo of the Land of the Sea, left he had expected that this would start to change, but he didn't know that now the people of the Land of Sea completely evacuated. Do they know that the Seven Shinobi Swordsmen from Kirigakure have been defeated by his subordinates?
"From Shiba Eiji?" Shimizu Akihiro took the letter and saw that there was no name on it. He narrowed his eyes and immediately guessed that it is from the old guy Shiba Eiji. He finally knew which side to choose.
After skillfully opening the letter, Shimizu Akihiro frowned when he saw the content above.
"The time for the Daimyo of Land of Water is running out. It is estimated that the next Daimyo will take over soon."
After reading it, Shimizu Akihiro murmured, silently thinking about something in his heart.
[Ding! Mission Triggered]
[Become A True King!]
[Mission completion requirements: The host obtains control of a country.]
[Mission completion rewards are as follows]
[CP9 Squad]
[Scientific research unit x1]
At this time, a series of beeps sounded from the system, and Shimizu Akihiro's heart suddenly moved.
"Gaining control of a country?"
After listening to the system prompts, Shimizu Akihiro glanced at the task requirements for confirmation and murmured immediately.
Hearing Shimizu Akihiro's murmuring voice, the others had no idea, but Kitano Ichiro, who was lying on the ground, clutching his chest and resting, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had a look of surprise on his face.
"Your Highness, do you want to prevent the next daimyo from succeeding the throne and become the daimyo of the Land of Water yourself?!"
Kitano Ichiro looked at Shimizu Akihiro with surprise on his face. After waiting for so long, he thought to himself, after being dormant for so long, His Highness finally couldn't help but show his power to the Land of Water.
After hearing Kitano Ichiro's words, before Shimizu Akihiro said anything, the other two people suddenly looked at Kitano Ichiro with expressions of confusion.
Virgo and T Bone then looked at Crocodile with strange expressions, as if they were asking if his attack was so heavy that this guy was struck to stupidity. Otherwise, how could this guy have such an idea? You must know that there is only one Naval Unit under Shimizu Akihiro for now. It is simply a fantasy to directly seize control of the Land of Water and become a daimyo.
Noticing everyone's gaze, Kitano Ichiro soon realized the ridiculousness of his idea and immediately smiled awkwardly.
"T Bone, in addition to maintaining the security of Icewood City and the basic normal operation of the naval base building, how much more navy can be mobilized?"
Shimizu Akihiro thought for a moment and suddenly asked T Bone.
"Your Highness, in addition to maintaining the security of Icewood City and the normal operation of the naval base building, the navy that can be mobilized besides me is:
Ordinary Soldiers - x308
Ensigns - x6
Lieutenant Commander - x1."
T Bone immediately stated the number of personnel currently available for deployment in the Navy without thinking at all.
"So few? This is not enough to maintain public order in a country."
Shimizu Akihiro frowned. Icewood City and a naval base building alone used nearly five hundred people. A country, no matter how small it is, cannot be compared to Icewood City.
"Your Highness, are you planning to attack some island?"
Kitano Ichiro raised his brows, woke up from his embarassed state, and asked quickly.
"That's right. Get ready. In three days, you and T Bone will lead troops to the Land of Sea."
Shimizu Akihiro nodded.
"The Land of Sea?"
Kitano Ichiro muttered, and his eyes immediately lit up. The Land of Sea, which borders Kadan Island and has a weak military, hence it is definitely the most suitable choice.
"Your Highness is worthy of being Your Highness. I have long disliked the attitude of the Land of Sea towards Icewood City. I should have killed that idiot Kawahara Fujiro in the first place."
Thinking of what Kawahara Fujiro did back then, Ichiro Kitano was very angry. When he heard that Shimizu Akihiro decided to attack the Land of Sea now, he immediately praised him.
Shimizu Akihiro smiled, his brows widened quickly, because he thought of the Navy Mall that he has ignored till now and the special buildings that were opened after owning some territory.
