One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 59 Conqueror's Haki Tutorial

With a change of generals, everything needs to be rebuilt.

Almost all of the policies established by Orochi during his reign were overturned, and a large number of new policies were promulgated and implemented every day.

The sweeping reforms left local officials sweating profusely, and nearly a hundred officials were invited for tea by the Imperial Guard every day.

The general's office.

"Lord Goode, last night forty-six officials were stabbed in the back and committed suicide. These are their letters of repentance."

Big Black respectfully reported his work, his body exuding a strong smell of blood, and his aura was more than ten times stronger than before.

He is now the Captain-Commander of the Oniwabanshu, wielding great power, and the Oniwabanshu are even more terrifying than before.

They're going on a killing spree!

Any official who refused to obey, or who lacked the ability and was unwilling to resign, would suffer the same fate as the local magistrates.

Stabbed in the back, he committed suicide out of guilt!

The criteria for judgment are very simple: anyone who fails to complete the orders issued by the General City within the stipulated time is guilty of a capital offense.

Every day, a large number of officials commit suicide.

The officials of Wano Country are not most afraid of the Shogun, but of the Oniwabanshu. They are so frightened by the mere mention of "tea" that they are paralyzed on the spot and have to write their wills in advance.

What kind of invitation is this for tea? That's an invitation from the Grim Reaper!

They considered joining forces to rebel, but the Oniwabanshu and the samurai patrols all obeyed the shogun; rebelling would only lead to their deaths even faster!

"Well, I guess it's because of too much work pressure."

"But that's okay."

"If they won't do it, there are plenty of others who will."

Good sighed with a hint of melancholy.

His demands were not high; he simply asked all officials to fully cooperate with the four men, Qingchong, in building new county towns in each township.

Even so, those bastards still dared to make excuses and play dumb, even taking the opportunity to embezzle benefits without doing any work.

He could tolerate corrupt officials and had no intention of pursuing past issues, but only if these bastards did what he was told to do.

Eating without working is a death wish!
Kill them all!
Goode smiled.

"How's the city construction going?"

"The locations for the county seats in Linghou, Jiuli, Ximei, and Tuwan have all been decided, and the acquisition work is going smoothly. We can start work today."

Sweat beaded on his dark forehead.

With so many officials dead, it would be strange if things didn't go smoothly.

Goode nodded in satisfaction and pressed for further details.

"How are the residents feeling?"

"Very stable!"

Daikoku presented a stack of land deeds, secretly glancing at the Yamato General sitting on the tatami mat, scratching himself idly, and deliberately lowered his voice.

“Lord Goode, only your name is listed as the holder of the land deed.”

"Good good!"

Goode took the land deed with a broad smile.

He paid for the land, so the landowner's name is on the land title, right?

I've finally accomplished something that's been on my mind.

Goode was in high spirits, rubbing his fingers together with a smile: "The Fire Festival is approaching, and preparations cannot be neglected. Go tell those noble families that the General's construction of the new city has cost too much, and that the funds for holding the Fire Festival..."

"Please rest assured, sir, I understand!"

Big Black grinned maliciously.

No one knew the true nature of the samurai better than the Oniwabanshu.

They're professionals at dissecting and skinning!
If you don't listen, then have some tea!

"Very good, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

Goode's eyes showed admiration.

What Imperial Guards? These are clearly my Embroidered Uniform Guards!

Deserves a reward!

"Big Black, what do you want?"

"."

Big Black was stunned for a moment.

what do you want?
His current status is second only to a general, and his recent confiscation of property and killings have filled his pockets, so he doesn't really have anything he particularly wants.

However, based on his understanding of Goode, he knew that once he opened his mouth, it was definitely not just empty talk, and being overly polite was not a good thing.

After a moment's thought, Dahei said in a deep voice, "Lord Goode, when you have time, I would like to invite you to take a look at the ninja village." "Ninja village?"

Goode raised an eyebrow in surprise.

He knew about the ninja village; it was a village in Wano Country that specifically trained ninjas, and the Oniwabanshu ninjas all came from there.

"Okay, let's wait until after the fire ritual."

"Thank you, sir!"

Big Black respectfully withdrew.

Goode went to the window and put his hands behind his back.

Wano Country has six villages in total. Apart from the Flower Capital, most of the land and fertile fields in the other villages are already his property.

Although a few large towns such as Boluo City and Renwu Port, as well as some poor villages, are not his, those are not important.

The value of real estate and land lies in their environment. Although the land in remote and impoverished villages and towns may be cheap, it has no value for renting or selling. It is useless to own such a property and does not give the owner any confidence.

A house that costs 10 yuan per square meter is not the same as a house that costs 500 yuan per square meter!

Complete development means no difference; without impoverished areas for comparison, how can the nobility of the new city be highlighted?

He had no intention of being a savior!

"Now I rule a nation!"

Goode's eyes were piercing, and he exuded a heavy aura.

Startled by the tickling, Yamato's whole body trembled, and all the hairs on his body stood on end. He immediately rolled over and nervously looked around, his eyes quickly locking onto Goode.

Huh?
The girl tilted her head in confusion.

So Goode had it too?
She has the same domineering presence as her father!

"Pah, what bad luck."

Goode spat in annoyance.

Of all things to awaken, he had to awaken Conqueror's Haki. Before mastering Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, it's basically useless; Observation Haki is even better.

Good waved to Yamato.

"Yamato, come here for a second."

"what?"

"Teach me how to use Conqueror's Haki."

"teach you?"

Yamato's eyes lit up, and he almost jumped up in excitement.

Wa hahaha!

Do you know how she's been getting through these days?

She endured humiliation and contempt every day!

According to Goode's assessment, she was the kind of idiot who was good for nothing except fighting, was the number one troublemaker, and only knew how to do nothing but eat.

Hmph, that's not true at all!
Why was she working so hard, laying bricks and mortar?
Besides helping everyone, she also wanted to prove to this jerk that she was useful.

When she gets serious, she's worth a hundred workers!

However, Good still never looked at her properly. Every time she came home after work, Good would look at her with a strange expression.
Like this, like this, and like this!

Damn it, that's infuriating!
She waited three months for an opportunity to prove herself and show that she was better than Goode!

"No problem, I'll cover it!"

Yamato thumped his chest, his aura exploding.

"Watch closely, Goode, this is the secret to using Conqueror's Haki!"

"so?"

Goode stared at Yamato, who was glaring at him, and a series of black lines appeared on his forehead.

"Right, that is it!"

Yamato stared wide-eyed, gritting his teeth and straining: "When you see a bad guy, just stare at him, stare at him, and stare at him some more, and you'll be able to unleash your Conqueror's Haki!"

"."

Goode remained silent for a long time, then let out a long sigh.

"Yamato, it's getting late, let's wash up and go to bed."

"what?"

Yamato tilted his head in confusion.

Why are you sighing? Is she teaching wrong?
But that's how she feels when she uses Conqueror's Haki.

You can't even learn something this simple!
Ha, you idiot!
