One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

"What I mean is, buy back all the weapons that Wano Country is currently selling! We'll buy as many as they sell!"

"Not only that, we need to increase demand and tell them that with their current productivity, they are completely unable to satisfy our appetite, forcing them to convert all 20% of their farmland into factories..."

"We want to control all the food in Wano Country, leaving them with no agricultural production capacity. Then, we can set the price for the food, and they'll have to pay whatever it is."

"At that time, if they want to continue living and obtain this food, they will have no choice but to use all the money we pay them for manufacturing weapons to buy food. As for the weapons, we can simply say we don't need that many..."

"But what if their factories have already produced the weapons and have excess production capacity? They will only have two options: first, destroy the excess weapons to ensure that a small number of weapons can be sold at a good price; second, sell all the weapons at a bargain price to try and recoup their losses..."

"If they choose the first option, destroying the vast majority of weapons while ensuring that the price of a few weapons can still meet the target, then although a few weapons can still sell for a good price, the total amount will definitely not reach the level of the past!"

"At that time, their country will definitely experience massive unemployment. Based on my understanding of that Kurozumi Orochi, citizens who are unemployed and unable to provide labor are no longer considered citizens in their eyes. Then we propose that, in addition to arms, we also engage in the human trafficking! We can exchange human resources for money. What do you think Kurozumi Orochi will do? He will definitely be overjoyed and sell all his surplus human resources to us at a low price..."

Xia paused for a moment after saying this.

"Then the following year, we continued to tell Orochi that the World Government's need for weapons had returned to its previous level!"

"At this time, Orochi needs a large number of people to help him produce weapons! But all the able-bodied men who could help him produce weapons have been sold off by him. Even if he immediately forces his people to have children, they simply cannot produce any!"

"If he needs manpower at this point, he'll have to buy it from us. Then we'll buy the people we took from Wano Country and sell them back to him at double the price?"

"Isn't this equivalent to emptying the entire population of his country? After a few repetitions, the whole country will be ours..."

Before Char could speak, Doflamingo, who was also a member of the beastmen like Char, continued speaking, picking up where Char left off.

"No need for all that trouble. Who's going to do serious business with him? Once Oden dies, the nation's spiritual beliefs will be gone, and the whole country will be ours..."

"Oden is dead, and we will, in the name of the World Government, sell Wano Country to Kaido of the Beasts, making Kaido the World Government's recognized king of Wano Country..."

"As for Orochi? He's a worthless 'monster,' cooperating with us in business? While this fool is still in power, let's see if we can empty Wano Country out of its resources. Then, we'll offer Kaido an empty shell. Once Kaido discovers Wano Country is empty and abandons it, we'll drill a hole in the surrounding rock wall and kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, retrieving the 'Pluton' hidden beneath Wano! I'm telling you this: I want Wano's money, I want its people, and we want its rich seastone mines! Even the 'Pluton' underground will only be ours..."

As Char said this, a disdainful smile appeared on his lips.

He intends to destroy Wano Country...

As for the people, they were all packed up and sent to factories to do hard labor!

Doflamingo is more familiar with the work of factory laborers than he is!

You could just ask Ming-ge's toy factory...

That's much harsher than the 'Northern Myanmar' industrial park!

"Brother Xia! Brilliant!"

Upon hearing this, Doflamingo's expression turned serious.

At this moment, Doflamingo finally began to take Char seriously. He knew that there were many people in this world stronger than him, but there were very few who were more monstrous than him...

Char is one of them...

"Brother Xia! Hard!"

At that moment, Crocodile picked up a glass of wine from the coffee table and spoke sincerely to Char. It must be said, Char's methods are ruthless and vicious…

"Hey! My two brothers, you're both tall and strong!"

Char waved to Doflamingo and Crocodile and chuckled.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

For a moment, cheerful laughter echoed throughout the small cabin.

Char, Doflamingo, and Crocodile, three young and cunning individuals, casually decided the fate of Wano Country while drinking and laughing.

But only the three of them know what they are truly thinking.

It's no exaggeration to say that everyone has their own ulterior motives...

"Click~"

Just then, the cabin door suddenly opened...

Stussy, with her legs straight and dressed in leopard print, walked in carrying a plate of steaming dumplings.

"This is called dumplings, and it tastes delicious!"

There's an old saying in the land of flowers: "Nothing tastes better than dumplings, nothing's more fun than..."

"I had Stusi cook seven first. Let's eat seven first, and then cook seven more!"

"These seven are for my two elder brothers!"

Xia looked at the dumplings on the table and said softly.

Is there a reason behind it?

Doflamingo and Crocodile exchanged a glance and asked in confusion.

"The seventh day after death, good! The seventh day after death, especially good..."

Char simply smiled at this.

At the time, Doflamingo and Crocodile were unaware of the significance of Char's seventh-day memorial service. It wasn't until many years later that Char personally sent them to Impel Down...

Looking at Monet, Sugar, and Baby-5 on the left, and Paula, Nico Robin, and Micino on the right, with Princess Vivi of Alabasta and Princess Violet of Dressrosa sitting on their laps, they suddenly realized what was going on and angrily cursed Char for using them and then discarding them like beasts!

A long chapter of 4,000 words! Brothers, please read on!

Chapter 26: Controlling the food supply is tantamount to controlling all living beings.

After a few rounds of drinks, the gathering of Char, Doflamingo, and Crocodile finally came to an end.

According to the plan, Doflamingo and Crocodile will establish two companies before the end of this year, with Doflamingo in charge of arms resale and Crocodile in charge of grains and cereals...

The company names were all chosen by Xia Ya, and they were quite simple and unpretentious, making it immediately clear what these companies did...

For example, Char named Doflamingo's company Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, or LMT for short.

As for Crocodile's company, Char quite liked the name Baroque, and coincidentally, Char also liked the Baroque art style, so he kept the name Baroque...

In addition, Xia was secretly planning three other grain companies, namely Company A, which was in charge of planting and cultivating rapeseed, corn, wheat, rice and other grains.

Company C is in charge of oil extraction from soybeans, peanuts, olives, etc.

And Company D, which is in charge of manufacturing seasonings and controlling sea salt, sugar, pepper, star anise, and other similar products.

Together with Baroque Works, which has a wide range of interests and is in charge of distribution channels, these four companies—ABCD—are essentially 'small' grain companies.

Although they are still very small now, Char believes that they will become very big in the future...

Furthermore, Char Aznable asserted that in the not-too-distant future, these four small companies would bring a tremendous shock to the world! At that time, neither the World Government nor other forces would be able to ignore their influence on the world! After all, that cunning and treacherous old man once said something like this: "Controlling food is equivalent to controlling all of humanity."

After Char bid farewell to Doflamingo and Crocodile, he led Stussy and the other CP0 members towards a tavern in a small alley in Loguetown.

According to intelligence from his subordinates, the person Char is looking for is currently drinking at the tavern.

"Click~"

When Xia arrived at the tavern's entrance, he didn't rush to push the door open and go inside...

Instead, he subconsciously used his Observation Haki to probe the situation inside.

As Char unleashed his Haki, what came into view was a boy with an almost identical appearance to him, short, fiery red hair, and wearing a straw hat...

And a man with eyes as sharp as an eagle in the sky, with unruly spiky short hair, exuding an aristocratic air.

These two people are exactly the people Xia is looking for.

"Hey, Mihawk! Come with me! Let's form a pirate crew and go find the legendary ONE PIECE!"

At that moment, the red-haired boy was extending an invitation to Mihawk.

"I reject!"

Upon hearing the red-haired boy's words, the boy named Mihawk refused the invitation without the slightest hesitation.

"why?"

After hearing Mihawk's words, the red-haired boy asked with a regretful expression.

"I've gotten used to living alone..."

"Besides, I have no habit of being subordinate to others."

Mihawk glanced at the red-haired boy beside him and said coldly.

If it's just a simple collaboration, perhaps Mihawk might give it a second thought...

But it's quite obvious that the red-haired boy beside him has ulterior motives.

What the other party is seeking is definitely not as simple as cooperation!

Yeah, that red-haired kid is such a jerk, I just want to sleep with him...

cough cough...

The other party genuinely wanted to recruit him as a crew member...

Become someone else's sailor? Don't be ridiculous...

He's the man who's going to become the world's greatest swordsman!

How can I possibly submit to someone else?!

To this, the future Joker, Bucky, exclaimed, "Huh? Father! Don't you want me anymore?"
