"You mean Orochi invited Kaido to a banquet tonight?"
In Jiuli, Bazel, who was resting on the balcony in a bathrobe, picked up the Wisdom Snail.
"Yes, Lord Bazel."
The snails emitted sounds of fortune, prosperity, and longevity.
"Orochi's unification of Wano Country has not gone smoothly. Apart from Udon and Kuri, the daimyo of the other three major regions do not recognize his title as acting shogun."
"This has led to the general's orders not being implemented or carried out."
"Adding to the events in Kuri and the rumors that spread yesterday regarding the truth behind the murder of former General Kozuki Sukiyaki, it seems that Kurozumi Orochi has sensed what you are planning to do —"
"Stealing a country, huh? That kid really thinks too highly of himself."
Bazel sat up and looked at the last rays of the setting sun on the horizon.
"He really thinks he's the master of this place."
"I'll inform Kaido."
He paused abruptly, and instead of continuing the conversation about Wano Country, Bazel inquired about everyday matters.
"How is your sister Fumei doing now?"
"She is in good health now, thanks to your help."
The voices of Fu Lu Shou (福禄寿, meaning fortune, prosperity, and longevity) from the snail grew increasingly respectful.
"Dr. Lauren's medical skills are excellent, and with her worries gone, Fumei is now able to walk normally."
"This is a good thing."
Trafalgar D. Vattir Laurent.
It was only when Fu Lu Shou mentioned this doctor that Bazel remembered his existence.
"Fukurokuju, before you move the capital, let your sister go to Takamagahara to recuperate."
"When Toki regains her position as shogun, Wano Country will definitely be in chaos for a while, and it will be unsafe for your sister to stay in the Flower Capital."
"Have Raizo take her to Takamagahara first, and I will inform the people there."
"Only after Fumei's safety is guaranteed can you focus on your work."
Fu Lu Shou expressed their gratitude again.
"Tell your sister and Raizo to be careful when they live there. They are all my dearest relatives and friends there, so please be discreet in your words and actions."
"Yes, I understand. I'll go home now and have Fumei pack her luggage."
"Yes, go ahead. This is the reward you deserve."
The snail broke off.
Bazel stood up and looked out of the pavilion.
"Oh, Donnie, long time no see! Where have you been?"
"Hehehe~~ Long time no see, Bazel!"
Donli extended his fist and lightly touched the fist that Bazel offered.
"I've taken Enel to the mountains for training these past few days —"
"Big brother!!"
Suddenly, the boy at the giant's feet grew larger, flames coiling around his arms.
"I've become really strong now!!"
A red light flashed in Bazel's eyes as he sensed Enel's presence and looked surprised.
"Your life force has become much stronger. What happened?"
"It's the power of the Great Entrance Fruit!"
With a powerful leap, Enel flipped onto the balcony.
"Under the tutelage of Captain Kaido and Dorry, my imitation of my older brother has become even more profound!"
"They said if I were to imitate someone, I should imitate everything about my older brother."
"So I tried to imagine what the Yamata no Orochi looked like in my mind, and after that, Captain Kaido and the others said that my life force was getting stronger every day!"
After examining Enel's transformed appearance, Bazel's expression of satisfaction deepened.
The Great Path Fruit is different from the Yamata no Orochi.
It has only two abilities: imitation and gigantification.
The former needs no further explanation, as for the latter—
Since the balcony where Barzel is currently located is the top floor of the daimyo's attic, there is no concept of a roof.
After his complete transformation, Enel's height was close to Kaido's, exceeding 7 meters, and his muscles were bulging.
"That's good. If I continue cultivating at this pace, I can then attend the grand banquet with peace of mind."
Enel blinked: "Um... Big brother, aren't you going to take me with you?"
"What are you going to do?"
Before Bazel could speak, Donli outside looked disgusted.
"You're still just a brat, stay here and protect Miss Shi!"
"Dongli is right, Enel, hahaha~"
In the distance, Loki and the bear walked side by side.
"Kid, you'd better stay here quietly. It's not time for you to attend those kinds of banquets yet."
"Bazaar, this place is great."
The bear used a powerfully compressed bubble to propel itself onto the open-air balcony of the attic, looking excited.
"I've never seen a country like this before!"
"There are no nobles, no unrest, and the members of the Night Owls are great, especially their chief."
""
"————"
As Xiong recounted his experiences along the way, everyone around him smiled without saying a word.
The day Bazel chose this plan, they envisioned what the future would hold.
Bazell never disappoints.
This is a consensus among everyone.
"Bazaar!!!"
Suddenly, a happy call came from the fat horse flying in the sky.
"Hey Lauren, don't you dare move around! My stomach's full of missiles right now. If you accidentally touch the switch, it'll blow that place up!!"
Pegasus deformed after landing, and Quinn patted his big belly.
"Boss Bazel, welcome back!"
"I rushed over immediately after hearing the news from Captain Kaido."
"Quinn, you've worked hard these past few days. I heard about the sale of Celestial Motors. You've earned billions of Berries for our Beasts Pirates again."
Bazel called to the group to jump down from the attic.
"Hahaha, it's nothing, nothing at all~~ Hahaha~~!"
Quinn crossed his arms, a smug smile on his face.
"Brother, the next step in Tian Shen Motors' plans will begin after your wife becomes a general."
"At that time, our people will first promote it nationwide, using Jiuli area as a pilot, and try to deploy ordinary energy vehicles for the general public."
"Once the road reconstruction is completed nationwide, the publicity campaign will reach almost everyone."
"That will be the best opportunity for us to recycle our gold and silver."
"This matter is not urgent."
After giving Quinn a few instructions, Bazel turned to look at Lauren.
"You've gotten much stronger since I last saw you. What's with the knife at your waist? Are you planning to abandon medicine and take up martial arts?"
"How is that possible?"
Lauren smiled and drew a short sword about the length of her forearm from her waist: "This sword was commissioned by Captain Kaido to have someone forge it for me, and the blade is inlaid with seastone."
"I am working hard to learn kendo. Although I will miss this grand banquet, I will definitely not miss the future battle."
A doctor learns Kendo —
A strange feeling flashed through Bazel's mind.
What a strange combination! As a doctor, Lauren must have a very good understanding of human anatomy.
Once it learns and masters swordsmanship, a single strike could likely cripple the target's fighting ability by more than half.
Then again, your main job is as a doctor!
Dip the blade in iodine and disinfect it while cutting?
Or are you trying to drum up business for your future hospital?
Goodness, when it comes to being meticulous, doctors are the best!
"Gentlemen,"
Suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Bazel clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to himself.
"According to past custom, the atmosphere has reached this point, so we have to have a banquet."
"But now is the crucial moment for us to take over Wano Country, so let's save this banquet for after Wano Country is unified."
"Please be patient during this period of time."
"We'll soon be reaping the rewards of victory, but there's something we need to be careful about after that."
Bazel took the newspaper and bounty poster that he had just asked Enel to retrieve.
"As you can see, I fought with the master of the Five Elders and have now become the most ferocious pirate in the world."
"The bounty is a whopping 49 billion Berries, and capturing me alive would make you a Celestial Dragon."
"This also means—"
Loki then took over the conversation.
"Our Beasts Pirates will become a piece of fat meat that everyone wants to take a bite out of."
"Once our hiding place in Wano Country is exposed, we will face an endless stream of enemies."
"The reason why our elder brother is so eager to take this place is precisely because of this."
After stating his opinion, Loki looked at Bazel: "Big brother, we probably won't need you here for the time being, right?"
Bazel nodded in agreement, while also wondering why Loki had asked such a question.
"I plan to take the bear and those three giant brats back to Elbaf. After sending those three brats back, I'll see if I can recruit some ready-made combat power."
Bazel looked at the bear.
"I plan to go to the library there to see more about the sun god Nika."
Xiong smiled shyly.
"And I want to go to Elbaf to buy some gifts for Ginny; she'll definitely love the local specialties."
"Then you can go ahead. Do you need Golden Eyes to escort you there?"
"No need, brother, I can fly there myself."
Loki grinned and said, "When I get back this time, I plan to have a good talk with Harald. Now that Takamagahara has been established, it's time to build my own Titan army."
"I'll make a grand appearance at the grand banquet, and then I'll lead the giant army directly to the island where the banquet is being held!"
"Take care of yourself. Contact me if you encounter any problems you can't solve."
As usual, Bazel patiently gave Loki his instructions.
"If you encounter the Knights of God, run as far away as you can. Don't worry if you get captured; I will go to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise to rescue you."
"I'm not a child anymore, brother! Really, don't treat me like a kid. I'm all grown up now, old enough to enjoy fine wine!"
Loki's mutterings brought smiles to the faces of those around him once again.
"We'll talk about drinking fine wine after you beat me."
Bazel kicked Loki in the shin, laughing and scolding, "Hurry up and go back to your hometown, and remember to protect the bear and those three brats!"
"Hey bear, let's go."
After saying goodbye to everyone, the two left and flew towards the sky where Takamagahara was located.
"Quinn,"
Suddenly, Bazel beckoned to Quinn.
Do you know Vegapunk's teacher?
"Vegapunk has a teacher?!" Quinn asked in shock.
"If that big-headed monster is already that freakish, how strong must his teacher be?!"
"Vegapunk's hometown is Baltimore, a future nation, roughly located in the doldrums area near the North Sea."
After a brief pause, Bazel searched his memory and continued, "That old scientist was Vegapunk's mentor and friend; he seemed to know some ancient technology."
"I originally wanted to do this myself, but Wano Country can't do without me for the time being, so you'll have to go to that island by yourself."
"I'm looking to trade with Dr. Tsukimi for a special climate technology called 'Springtime All Year Round'."
"Use that technology to modify the climate of Takamagahara. Remember, treat that old man with respect, don't treat him like a bandit."
Bazel patted Quinn on the shoulder and said earnestly, "If this fails because of your attitude, I'll freeze you into a golden horse and display you in Takamagahara Square."
.
Quinn patted his chest confidently: "Don't worry, as long as the other party is a scientist, it'll be easy to solve!"
"I'll trade them the semi-finished solar energy technology, which involves cutting down existing processes!"
"No scientist could resist the allure of this technology. Let alone him, even Vegapunk would be completely captivated by it!"
"Let's set off tomorrow. Fukurokuju's sister isn't feeling well, so we need to resolve the low temperature situation in Takamagahara as soon as possible."
"Got it!" Quinn scurried away happily.
Bazel put his hands in his pockets and looked up thoughtfully at the clouds in the sky.
"Lauren, go to Takamagahara yourself. The Lilliputians are arranging for the landscaping there."
"Find some seeds of rare medicinal herbs for them, and then you can designate an area for planting medicinal herbs, especially those for treating difficult and complicated diseases."
"Wan Country will definitely be targeted by the World Government and its member states in the future because of us."
"Some things need to be planned in advance, whether it's planting medicinal herbs or planting grains."
"Even if we can't export to other countries, we should at least be able to be self-sufficient."
"In this way, even if we fight a protracted war in the future, we won't have to worry about the world government cutting off our supplies."
After obtaining the sunstone from Dongli that could be used to draw the rainbow bridge, Lauren accepted the mission and left.
"Big brother, aren't you being a little too cautious?"
With Loki gone, the only people in the entire Beast Order who called him "Big Brother" were Enel and the occasionally arrogant King.
"We may not need these things, but we absolutely cannot be without them."
Bazel slowly exhaled, his pupils reflecting the last vestiges of reddish-yellow on the horizon.
"War eventually becomes a protracted war."
"Whoever can hold on will have the right to speak and the initiative."
"If you can't hold on, you'll just die, so some things have to be planned in advance, otherwise it will be too late to try when you need them."
"Dongli, notify Rambo and have his Night Owls clear a path."
Bazel led Enel and turned to walk into the Heavenly Moon Pavilion.
"A small insect will come tonight; we must make sure she reaches the target area safely."
"Enel, I have a date tonight, so I'll leave that little bug to you."
"No problem, brother! I'd love to test my current abilities!"
