One Piece: Nico Robin Collection

Chapter 16 Excessive
"What an understanding person, that guy Quinn..."

Looking at Quinn's hurriedly leaving back, Maria exhaled a puff of light smoke.

"Everyone who comes from MADS is like this. You can say they are not good enough, but you can't say they are not as good as Vegapunk."

Caesar smiled and looked at Maria: "Thank you for taking care of the financial matters, Miss Maria."

"Can you give me some specific directions?"

Maria chuckled. "I'm just in charge of the internal affairs and logistics. I'm afraid I'm not as powerful as Brother Caesar thinks."

"I looked at the past transaction prices with Joker earlier, and it seems like the price has been severely undervalued."

Caesar said, his eyebrows slightly raised: "Is that guy so bold?"

"It can't be helped, we are pirates after all."

"It seems that Brother Caesar doesn't have a deep understanding of the pirate world. Pirate trade is done in the underground world. Because there is no legal protection, apart from the entertainment industry, decent businessmen will not do business with pirates."

Maria was somewhat helpless. "If you go to those pirate towns, you'll find that prices among pirates are usually very high. Shipping is suppressed, and purchasing is expensive. This is unavoidable even for the Four Emperors. After all, if you don't follow the rules, no one will do business with you in the future."

"Wano Country is located in the latter half of the New World, in the most chaotic sea area in the world. There is basically no trade in such places, but we also need to purchase from the outside world. If you can raise the price, others can raise it too."

Caesar was puzzled: "Have you ever thought about cooperating directly with the World Government?"

Maria gave him a strange look: "Joker is their spokesperson."

"Oh yes…"

Caesar slapped his forehead. In the original work, when the World Government sent people to Wano Country, Joker had already become the newspaper-reading king. It was precisely because this chain was broken that the World Government sent people to Wano Country.

"That'll be easy."

Caesar nodded and said, "Contact Joker to get the price down, and send us more food and money. If he doesn't want to do this business, we can ask the Revolutionary Army to do it."

Maria was stunned: "Bargaining, giving money... the Revolutionary Army?"

"Although we have a monopoly on Seastone, after so many years of trading, the World Government must have a certain amount of reserves. They may not be forced by price pressure in the short term, but they certainly don't want the Revolutionary Army to get involved in the Seastone deal."

Caesar explained, "Also, Wano Country is vast, with distinct seasons. Once we overcome the current food shortage, we can achieve self-sufficiency."

"Is this our goal?" Maria asked.

Caesar nodded. "In a short time, yes! My estimate is one year, and I will give you the follow-up arrangements then."

Management means delegating the work in your hands.

Unlike other positions, in management, those who are idle may not necessarily be capable, but those who are too busy to even touch the ground are definitely incompetent...

Caesar is usually only busy with two things as a manager.

The first is to coordinate planning and assign responsibilities to each position.

It doesn't mean just throwing the work out, but giving a goal and telling him how he should do it and to what extent and what effect he should achieve.

The second is to conduct surprise inspections from bottom to top. As long as these two things are done well, there will basically be no major problems.

At this stage, the main goal of Wano Country is to restore people's livelihood. As long as the people are fed, the current food reserves are not enough to meet everyone's needs. Economic development is something to be considered after people have enough food to eat.

Compared with other countries, Wano Country has considerable advantages.

For example, the communication equipment in Wano Country is snails. Unlike the Den Den Mushi used overseas, the communication equipment is snails. The two biological signals have different bands, so they cannot be eavesdropped by eavesdropping Den Den Mushi.

Then there is seastone.

It's incredible that a monopolist is being strangled...

For the next few days, Caesar was busy with these things.

Wano Country originally had a relatively complete political system, but Kurozumi Orochi was in power, which led to corruption in the political environment. This issue can be left to the local person, Kozuki Hiyori, to handle.

Soon, the news that Hiyori Kozuki was still alive and had joined Yamato's men spread quickly throughout Wano Country.

"I didn't expect that Murasaki is actually Kozuki Oden's daughter..."

"The most beautiful woman in Wano Country? That's not surprising. Madam Toki is a super beauty!"

"I heard that Miss Hiyori is now under the protection of the general and is working for Lord Caesar."

"General, you are so kind and righteous!"

"loyalty!"

The public's discussions soon reached Caesar's ears, and the effect was almost as he expected.

As the saying goes, a gentleman judges by deeds rather than by his heart. Even if someone sees his intentions, they will not be able to find any fault with him.

After hearing this, Hiyori Kozuki only smiled faintly, with a hint of subtle sadness. But for her now, as long as the people can have enough food, she is already satisfied. "Hey, hey, hey! Caesar boy!"

In the evening, Caesar and Yamato were having dinner when there was a sudden commotion in the castle.

Quinn's fleshy body rushed forward and knocked open the door. "I heard it! What's going on? Murasaki is actually Kozuki Oden's daughter?"

Caesar rolled his eyes at him: "What's the problem?"

"This is a big problem!"

Quinn glared at her: "That's the enemy's daughter, do you know what you are doing, bastard? If the boss finds out, you're dead! For the sake of being brothers, hand her over to me..."

"Kaido won't care, but I think you seem to care."

Caesar rolled his eyes at him and said, "Aren't you known as Xiao Zi's number one fan?"

"I have my own choices in mind!"

Quinn's face was stern. "The fact that that girl was able to lurk under Kurozumi Orochi for so many years is enough to show how deep her thoughts are. Leave her to me, and I promise to make her obedient and never dare to have any other thoughts!"

"No, you're just horny."

"What? You discovered all this?"

Quinn fell to his knees, weeping bitterly. "Please, Caesar! Give her to me! I promise I'll research whatever you want me to research!"

"It's better to save your energy. The Kozuki family still has some reputation among the people. Doing this will only make all the previous efforts go to waste."

Caesar pointed at Yamato and said, "Besides, the other party is Yamato's friend, so you are not allowed to use force."

Quinn looked at Yamato and found that the other party had already raised the mace to his shoulder. It was obvious that if he continued to make trouble, he would be hit by a thunderous gossip.

"Damn it, you two guys!"

Quinn quickly stood up, fearing that Yamato would hit him with a stick.

This girl grew up under his nose, and he knows her strength very well. Although she is no match for Kaido, she can definitely fight him head-on for a while.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, his strength was indeed slightly weaker than the other party's.

Not to mention there's a freak like Caesar who dominates first and then arms himself. I heard that even Jhin can't do anything about him.

Thinking of this, Quinn's face suddenly changed: "Wait, that's not right, you two guys..."

"what happened again?"

Yamato tilted his head and said, "If you dare to mess with Hiyori again, I'll beat you up, you bastard!"

"That's what I'm talking about!"

Quinn suddenly slapped his head and suddenly realized something.

If these two little brats join forces, it seems that only two of the Three Calamities can fight against the entire Beasts Pirates, except Kaido.

In a one-on-two situation...

It’s almost like fighting two people of the same level by yourself?

If I think about it carefully, the reason why I didn't go directly to Xiao Zi was because I was subconsciously afraid of the strength of the two people, right?

"Growing up so fast? The new generation of freaks..."

A drop of sweat dripped from his forehead. Quinn stuffed a cigar into his mouth and turned away: "Pretend I was never here!"

"what?"

Yamato looked at Caesar blankly: "He just left like that?"

"if not?"

Caesar smiled slightly, probably guessing what Quinn was thinking.

After finishing the affairs of Wano Country, it is time for him to devote his energy completely to training.

He doesn't ask to defeat Kaido, as long as he can fight him head-on and remain undefeated, then he can leave at any time...

I wonder what Robin’s expression would be like when he was released and found that almost a year had passed.

In addition, this picture has a few words. The plot of Wano Country has entered the final stage. Because the previous plot was relatively compact, it felt a bit hasty to write. I felt dissatisfied, so I deleted a lot.

I'm really ashamed of your monthly votes, but writing literary dramas is so fucking difficult and pure torture. If I don't write well, I will seem self-satisfied and stupid. I will try my best to write the ending paragraph well. What follows is the vast and boundless plot. Please read on!
