Chapter 21

Luo Xing’s gaze suddenly turned cold, and his tone became icy: "Queen!"

"Your subordinate is here!" Plague Queen responded loudly with a sinister grin.

Those local gentry trembled in fear.

"Execute all one hundred of Orochi's subordinates, as well as every member of the Kurozumi clan!"

"As you command!"

Queen’s fat face was filled with a cruel, savage grin. Leading a hundred fierce warriors from the Gifters legion, he charged like a wolf into a flock of sheep, instantly slaughtering all of Orochi’s subordinates!

The Kurozumi clan was wiped out!

Fresh blood stained the earth, and the entire Shogun’s palace was soaked in a pool of blood.

The thick, bloody stench permeating the air made one’s hair stand on end.

Those local gentry could no longer sit still; one by one, they flopped to their knees, trembling as they said:

"Greetings, Imperial Son-in-Law Luo Xing!"

"Greetings, General Yamato!"

From this moment on, the sky over Wano Country had changed!

24. The Storm of Blood and Flesh Triggered by Monster Cells

Those in power emphasize both kindness and severity.

Although Luo Xing is not some heinous villain, he is not a pushover either.

He had already bestowed grace upon the people of Wano, paying out of his own pocket to purchase dozens of ships filled with grain from the outside world.

If these local gentry from various districts still refused to submit and were unwilling to serve Yamato as the new Shogun of Wano, then the fate of the Kurozumi clan would be their example.

Fortunately,

There were no blockheads among these people; they knelt obediently on the ground, expressing their submission.

Luo Xing signaled Yamato with his eyes to speak.

Yamato understood; Luo Xing had already taught her what to say at this moment.

"Everyone, please rise."

Yamato’s voice was dignified yet lacked no kindness.

"Kurozumi Orochi was full of evil and deserved to die; it has nothing to do with any of you."

"On the contrary, you are all famous local gentry from across Wano, carrying the trust of the people. In the future governance of Wano, I will need to rely heavily on your talents!"

"If you have any capable nephews or nieces in your families, you may recommend them to me to serve in the Shogun’s palace!"

The gentry kneeling on the ground felt their eyes light up upon hearing this.

Relying on their talents and letting them recommend their nephews and nieces—wasn't this giving them political power?

The gentry were both shocked and overjoyed.

Although they had some minor reputation in their respective areas in the past, Orochi treated them with absolutely no respect, always treating them like slaves and threatening their lives at every turn.

How could this compare to the newly appointed Shogun, who not only spoke kindly but also gave them so many benefits?

"Many thanks, General!"

Regardless of how much anxiety remained in their hearts, this expression of gratitude was undoubtedly filled with much more joy and loyalty than before.

Luo Xing curled the corner of his mouth.

Using grain resources to win the hearts of the people of Wano;

Using political promises to bind the interests of the gentry to the ship of the Beasts Pirates.

In this way, even if Kozuki Oden were to return from the dead, he would not easily be able to shake Yamato’s position as Shogun.

Many times, many things cannot be accomplished with brute force alone; one must use their brain.

Kozuki Oden didn't understand this principle, which is why he wasted such a great advantage and ended up dead and forgotten.

……

……

While the sky over Wano was changing, the outside world was stirred into a bloody storm because of the monster cells Luo Xing sold to Big Mom!

As it turns out.

After Big Mom spent a massive sum of 5 billion to buy fifty monster cells, the more she thought about it, the more her heart ached.

Although Totto Land was wealthier than Wano, it wasn't that much wealthier.

Taking out 5 billion could be considered a massive hemorrhage.

Especially since Big Mom was an extremely gluttonous person who spent a huge amount of money every day buying precious sweets from all over the world.

Because of this, Totto Land’s capital chain became somewhat strained.

The second son, Charlotte Katakuri, who actually handled the specific affairs of Totto Land, suggested to Big Mom:

"Mama, why don't we take out ten monster cells and sell them for 200 million each."

Big Mom was very unhappy when she heard this; these were things she had used favors to get from that old brat Kaido, how could she sell them to others?

But not knowing what she thought of, Big Mom suddenly turned her anger into joy.

"Good, good, good! Sell ten monster cells, spread the word, and make those buyers come to Totto Land to trade!"

Katakuri immediately understood Big Mom’s meaning.

It was to have those buyers bring their money to Totto Land, then keep the money, and the people could get lost—the monster cells, of course, were impossible to obtain.

What?

You say that I, the dignified Emperor Big Mom, don't keep my word?

Fine, then I’ll just take another fifty years of your lifespan.

To put it bluntly, Big Mom was just openly robbing, no different from the Beasts Pirates' plundering everywhere a while ago.

Although Katakuri believed this move would damage the reputation of their Big Mom Pirates, since Mama had decided, he could only comply.

Thus, the news was spread.

The underworld bosses, who had long learned from the Navy that monster cells could rival Devil Fruits, immediately became like cats smelling fish, all of them eager to make a move.

Of course,

There were many smart people among them who saw through Big Mom’s cunning plan.

But the temptation of the monster cells was too great, making these underworld bosses decide to take the risk!

They first made a huge cake to attract Big Mom’s attention.

Then they teamed up to create chaos in Totto Land and sent people to steal the monster cells during the confusion!

Don't say it, they actually succeeded!

If it weren't for the fact that the head of the Sweet Commanders, Katakuri, possessed the ability to foresee the future, perhaps all fifty of Big Mom’s monster cells would have been stolen!

Even so, more than ten were lost and flowed outside.

In an instant, the entire sea was stirred into a frenzy.

The underworld bosses took action one after another, fighting over these dozen monster cells.

Among the bosses who took action, there were three Warlords of the Sea—Donquixote Doflamingo, Gecko Moria, and the Sand Crocodile Crocodile, who was entrenched in Alabasta!

In addition, the Queen of the Pleasure District Stussy, the President of the World Economic News Morgans, the giants of Elbaf, the Germa Kingdom, and others all participated.
