Flower Capital, in the former Shogun Orochi's mansion.
Except for Queen, who was in the Udon Prisoner Mine, Kaido summoned all the remaining senior cadres to report on the recent affairs of the Beasts Pirates.
King had been responsible for interrogating prisoners and had achieved considerable results. Jack and the other Tobi Roppo members had recently been scattered throughout Wano. The remnant forces that had been chasing down Orochi and the samurai gangs who were unwilling to surrender also had their own achievements.
Kaido held the wine gourd and asked, "King, how much money was recovered from that snake Orochi? Can it make up for our shortfall?"
King frowned and replied, "During Orochi's reign, he was extravagant and squandered. The treasures he collected were basically used for his own food, drink, and fun! The funds we found are actually not much. This is after all the aristocratic power of the Kurozumi family—they're all included!"
"After the war, our losses were mainly concentrated on the destruction of Onigashima's infrastructure, as well as the loss of troops and damage to weapons! The amount of funds required to restore to pre-war levels is too great!"
"The most serious thing is that our current capital chain has been broken, including the export trade of seastone and weapons. It will also take a lot of time and money to restore it!"
Kaido said slightly angrily, "I don't want to listen to your complaints. What I want is a solution! What I want are feasible suggestions! The founding ceremony must be held as scheduled, and you must solve all obstacles!"
The fury of the Four Emperors made everyone sweat and shudder.
At this time, after thinking for a moment, Jack suggested, "Why don't we continue to increase taxes in various places, especially those rich places! Anyway, after Master Kaido's country is established, these guys will become slaves, and slaves don't need money, just food to eat!"
Black Maria, who was about the same height as him, smoked a dry cigarette and said with a faint smile, "These measures are too early. If it provokes a popular uprising, it may be counterproductive!"
Who's-Who bit his cigarette butt and said, "Those common people have never had money, and the little treasures they have aren't as good as the pocket money that Orochi and the others had!"
Sasaki held up the wine bottle and said, "Black Maria is right. I have seen a lot of displaced refugees outside these days. They can no longer survive. If we continue to force them, we will only lose more slaves!"
The youngest, Page One, spread his hands and said, "Do we still need to help them? We don't have any money either!"
The irritable Ulti immediately said loudly, "It's too outrageous, we are pirates! How can we worry about such a thing! The country has no money, so we can just go to sea to rob!"
Everyone was startled and looked at her.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? With Master Kaido here, who else do we need to be afraid of?" Ulti, who was so aggressive, was completely unaware.
At this time, King also said seriously to Kaido, "Master Kaido, now that things have happened, this is a solution! The suppression work of Wano is almost over, and it is time to extend our reach to the outside world! This can also provide new services for the new generation and make the founding of the country known far and wide!"
While listening to their opinions, Kaido drank and thought to himself, then said, "In this case, the six of you will be fully responsible for the expedition. Let's see who can get me the most treasures before the founding ceremony!"
The Tobi Roppo immediately showed excited and unruly expressions, falling into instinctive competition. Ulti even shouted excitedly, "Do you really want to go out and rob? Hahaha, I just said I'm a genius!"
"Yes, yes!" Page One murmured quietly.
"Pay-Pay, your mouth seemed to have moved just now, didn't it?" At this moment, a faint gaze came over him.
Ignoring the frantic siblings, Kaido continued to say to King, "King, besides them, I have an important task that you need to complete, and only you can do it!"
King immediately listened solemnly.
"I want you to go to Whole Cake Island for me as soon as possible and send an invitation to Linlin and others to participate in our founding ceremony! Although she was embarrassed last time, she is still our most powerful ally at present. The matter of the Pirate Alliance still needs to be pushed forward!"
After King thought about it, he said seriously, "Master Kaido, I think in addition to this, we can also ask the Big Mom Pirates to lend us a large amount of funds as a gift for them to attend the ceremony!"
Kaido smiled sinisterly and said, "You have a quick mind, you can just take care of this matter when the time comes! In short, when you get to someone else's territory, you have to be polite, but you can't lose our face!"
"Understood, Master Kaido! I will arrange the following work and set off immediately!" King respectfully accepted the order.
——————
Udon, Prisoner Mine.
Since being driven here by Kaido, Queen had been depressed all day long. He shed tears in front of Komurasaki's photos every day and used red-bean soup to relieve his sorrow. It can be said that both career and love have been frustrated, so how can his temper be improved?
"King, you bastard, I owe everything I have lost today to you! One day I want you to look a good and let Master Kaido know who is the backbone of the Beasts Pirates!" Queen bit his cigar and swore secretly.
"Master Queen! We really can't handle the new batch of prisoners, please take action personally!" Babanuki and others said carefully, ready to bear the other party's anger at any time.
Unexpectedly, Queen was unexpectedly calm. He blew out two puffs of smoke and said, "It's the Straw Hat Crew, right? You losers, you can't do anything without me!"
Babanuki secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said respectfully, "Master Queen is Udon's pillar. The strength of these guys is really too difficult, otherwise we would never dare to trouble you!"
Thinking of his rival King stealing the show in the Flower Capital, Queen felt as if a thorn had been stabbed in his heart, so he finally made up his mind to achieve results in Udon and regain the appreciation of Master Kaido.
"First, we have to get rid of those thorns!" Queen's huge body, as round as a balloon, stood up.
Babanuki and others did not expect that Queen would be unexpectedly reasonable, and immediately supported the All-Star and went to the construction site.
At this time, the quarry had become an exclusive training place for Zoro and others. Even though they were restrained by seastone, their strength was still beyond imagination. The workload that almost squeezed the prisoners to death was not enough for them to even warm up. It didn't even count.
This is of course also due to the limited purity of the seastone handcuffs used by prisoners in the quarry. On the premise of ensuring that Devil Fruit users cannot use their abilities, they should be able to move as much as possible, so as to ensure the labor force.
Both the guards and the jailers were afraid of their strength and reputation, and kept them at a distance. Let alone management, they didn't even have the courage to get close.
