Chapter 112 Chaos in the Harem?
"Dong dong dong."
"Enter."
In the marshal's office, Kevin pushed the door open and saw the two decision-makers of the current Navy Headquarters.
The three admirals have not yet come up. Cybernetic Sora was forced to retire early due to his own reasons and was promoted again. Currently, Garp, who is under the marshal, is not in charge, and Zephyr is only in charge of the youth training camp.
Therefore, the two people in front of him, Vice Admiral Tsuru and Marshal Sengoku, were the ones who actually discussed and decided the matter.
"The World Government has just issued a notice asking the Navy to cooperate in the capture of the Germa in the North Sea. You are one of them."
Kevin nodded. "I see. I've always heard about Germa's bad reputation in the North Sea, but I don't know if that pink poison really exists. It looks very beautiful in the comic book."
This made Crane frown. "According to the information provided by the World Government, the pink poison in the comic strip does not exist. Germa's armed forces are basically cloned male warriors. I wonder if you are interested?"
Well(_)
Kevin felt insulted and choked back.
"Gender: Male, female. Yeah, that's it."
Zhan Guo then said: "As a supporting force, the navy does not have the leading power in this war. But I hope you can communicate with the CP so that this action will not affect too many ordinary people."
Affect ordinary people?
If a large army approaches, we can solve the problem directly at sea.
No, the Germa nation is that group of snails, if they were faster than a warship.
He crossed his fingers and said, "Since Roger was executed by you in Rogue Town four years ago, the Great Pirate Era has arrived. There are too many new pirates in the North Sea and the South Sea among the four seas, far more than the East Sea and the West Sea."
He paused for a moment when he said this, but Kevin knew the reason.
There is an old man in the East China Sea who often goes back to see his grandson Ace. Because of his initial sweep of the West China Sea, many gangsters and bandits who wanted to go out to sea have become quieter.
As for the South Sea and the North Sea, after the South Sea incident was exposed by the Revolutionary Army, many people's trust in the Navy and the World Government dropped to freezing point. It is currently also the main development area of the Revolutionary Army's Southern Army.
It seems that the army captain has been hanging out with Vegapunk every day recently and has been taught a lesson several times.
At this time, He continued, "If the impact is too great, the navy will become unreliable in the memory of the people of the North Sea. People with a sense of justice will also hesitate between joining the navy or going to sea."
Sengoku also looked at Kevin: "Anyway, the Navy's intention is to make the image of the Navy as positive as possible while destroying the Germa. That comic strip has a great influence. Although the Germa are villains in the comic strip, there are many people who admire them."
The two of them sang in unison, but Kevin's expression clearly showed that he didn't take it to heart.
And Sengoku and He had anticipated this.
Even the North Sea operation was just a test for the two of them. What they really care about is whether Kevin can become a bridge of communication in the future.
The five people on Marijoa are high up, and the real action of the World Government is carried out by the CP agency, and I heard that Spandine will soon be transferred to the head of CP0.
"For your contribution in this mission, you can be promoted to Lieutenant General."
"Ok?"
Kevin looked over immediately and asked, "Is it so easy to be promoted to Lieutenant General?"
Zhan Guo looked at him: "Lieutenant General is not only a promotion of military rank, but also has responsibilities and obligations of the navy."
Having said that, Zhan Guo's eyes gradually became sincere.
"I have read your file many times. Executioner of the West Sea. You have never shown mercy to pirates. This means that you have been persecuted by pirates in the past during your life as an orphan of the West Sea."
"According to the records, your hometown was also destroyed due to pirate raids."
"So Kevin... the purpose of the navy is to stabilize the ocean. Only stability can reduce the number of pirates. Only then can villages like your hometown survive safely."
Kevin frowned, thought for a moment, and nodded.
After he left, the marshal's office was quiet for a while.
"After this time, he can go to Wano Country as well. That country is not an ordinary non-member country."
"The information we just received is really surprising, but if that's the case, Marijoa should also consider the pros and cons."
"I hope so."
……
At the same time, in the Flower Capital of Wano Country.
As temporary managers before his ideological awakening, Kozuki Oden and his family also moved from Kuri to the Shogun's Mansion in Huadu.
After a series of tests, Shimotsuki Yasuie saw that the revolutionary army had no objection, so he held a grand ceremony to succeed the general.
Oden was pressed into the carriage and carried through all the streets of the Flower Capital, with emphasis placed on General Oden's forbearance for the past five years for the sake of Wano Country.
After learning that he had made a five-year agreement with Orochi and had rescued many people who were held hostage, Shimotsuki Yasuie found these people and used them as witnesses to describe the situation at that time.
Across the platform of the inauguration ceremony, Shimotsuki Yasuie, who was watching all this, was in a good mood and poured a cup of tea for Shimotsuki Gyumaru who was sitting opposite him.
"Are these people really Orochi's hostages from five years ago?"
Shimotsuki Niuwan frowned. He felt that the patriarch in front of him was a little possessed. He thought that he would come up with some fake stuff.
Shimotsuki Yasuie glanced at him and said, "Do you think I would do something so stupid? If it weren't true, General Oden would have jumped out by now."
Yeah, that’s true.
They knew the character of this prince of the Kozuki clan very well.
He is so stubborn that he won't think this is help at all, and instead thinks it is an insult.
But...with such an obvious move, why did the Revolutionary Army still not take any action?
The ideological education class in the school has already begun, and the soldiers and tutors left behind by the revolutionary army are still attending classes as usual.
"That person should still be in Wano Country, but he hasn't taken any action."
Shimotsuki Yasuie smiled and replied, "Why would they try to stop something that is already true? Stopping it might even backfire. But this discovery is indeed a pleasant surprise."
Shimotsuki Ushimaru nodded and remained silent.
On the high platform, Oden was so bored that he wanted to pick his feet.
The position of shogun was indeed more uncomfortable than that of daimyo. Even Kin'emon and Denjiro began to tell him that he could not do this or say that.
Although it was a temporary replacement for stability, he already had the intention of pulling out the hidden old man to sit in this position.
He also knew whose idea it was that these people he had rescued were telling the story of the reenactment here.
But he knew better that all this was in vain.
Perhaps I should find an opportunity to talk to the great master of the Kang family, who also provided a lot of financial support to Jiuli in the past.
As he was thinking, Oden's mind was wandering, thinking about the inspirational female president's daughter at home, who should be studying hard now.
...The First School in Huadu.
Robin at the podium took a deep breath.
Before today, she had read about the education methods during the reign of the Flower City Snake, and today she was the substitute teacher, so she also prepared for a long time.
Then, imitating the previous teaching method, he wrote names one by one on the blackboard.
"Teacher, I know!"
A little brat pointed at one of the names and said, "Father corrected me yesterday. Kurozumi Orochi was a bad guy. He colluded with pirates to steal the position of Shogun. It was Lord Oden and the Revolutionary Army who defeated them."
Robin smiled and replied: "I have seen what you were taught before. At that time, the teacher taught you that Orochi was good and Lord Kozuki Oden was a fool, right?"
No one spoke after he finished speaking, and the little kid who had raised his hand just now also fell silent.
After a while.
"Snapped."
A little girl with green hair stood up: "Teacher, you should call General Oden."
Robin looked at Hiyori and shook his head slightly: "There is no such thing as adults and villains in this world, and there is no distinction between noble and humble lives. Lord Oden also agrees with this."
"Even if it's Mr. Fire, we will call him Mr. out of respect instead of Sir."
Hiyori was stunned, but her father at home did agree with the saying: There is no distinction between high and low in life.
Momonosuke, who was sitting next to her, also pulled her sleeve.
After thinking for a while, I couldn't think of a rebuttal, so I could only snort and sit down.
Robin didn't take it seriously and continued, "Good or bad, I think you need to identify them by yourselves, instead of just blindly following what others say. Think from your own perspective, is this person an enemy or a friend?"
"So whether Kurozumi Orochi is good or bad, we also need to understand him before we can make a conclusion. Today we will first talk about the former general of Wano Country, and then you can think about whether he is good or bad."
Robin then began to narrate the information he had collected.
Kurozumi Orochi fled since he was born. His parents and relatives were purged because of their rebellion, and he himself was hunted down for that.
After becoming a servant of Daimyo Hakumai, how to endure and wait for the opportunity.
……
More than ten minutes passed, and Kurozumi Orochi's life came to an end with Robin's narration.
Just like the story, with Kurozumi Orochi as the main perspective, the group of children below can be immersed in the story as if they were listening to it.
"So can someone tell me now, is Kurozumi Orochi a good guy or a bad guy?"
The audience was full of children, not much different in age from Robin, but at the moment they were all a little confused because of their own feelings.
Momonosuke even nudged Hiyori and asked, "If your whole family was killed, it's not wrong to seek revenge..."
Hiyori punched Momonosuke on the head and said, "You are Kozuki Momonosuke, not Kurozumi Momonosuke, you idiot!"
Momonosuke, covering his head, almost burst into tears.
However, Robin heard this, so he looked at Hiyori and said approvingly: "Hiyori-san is right. To be good or bad, you must first confirm your own position."
"As a member of the Kozuki clan, the rebels must pay a price. In order to consolidate their rule and prevent their descendants from seeking revenge, purges are inevitable."
"And if you are a survivor of the Kurotan tribe, your family has been killed, and you are still suffering, it is normal for you to have thoughts of revenge."
"Finally... we are the ordinary people who make up the majority."
"Can anyone tell me, is Kurozumi Orochi a good guy or a bad guy to ordinary people?"
Stories and questions began to guide the thinking of the children under the podium.
The ideological education classes in the school are different from the speeches in various regions. If the central idea of the revolutionary army is directly brought out, these children will not understand it.
During her childhood in O'Hara, Robin knew that not everyone was like her, liking knowledge and thinking.
For this group of children, the first thing to teach them is to think independently rather than just follow the crowd.
At the same time, they should be made aware of their own stance and class in a subtle way, which is the basis of ideological education.
Under the podium, Hiyori frowned as she thought about Robin's question.
What is the position of ordinary people?
The Kozuki clan represents all the people of Wano Country.
Are the incomprehensible words that the masked uncle said at that time the same things that the sister on the podium is teaching now?
"I……"
A little boy stood up, looking a little timid.
But in the end, he said, "I only know that my family could eat meat once every three days. I was still a child at that time. Later, after my father went to the mine, my family has not eaten meat for several years."
"Just now my sister said that Kurozumi Orochi built many weapons processing factories, forcing the people of Wano Country to work with force, and only paid them very little salary, so I think Kurozumi Orochi is a bad guy!"
With the first one, the second one soon stood up.
It is no longer about what you hear someone say, but about who is good or bad because their lives have gotten worse.
After all the children had finished speaking, Robin continued, "So now let's talk about the second character: Kozuki Oden."
As soon as the words came out, Hiyori and Momonosuke's eyes widened.
Talking about father?
You have to know that today is the day when my father officially becomes the general. Under such circumstances, how can the people of Wano Country comment on the general?
This is against the rules!
"You can't do that to the General..."
Momonosuke was about to stand up, but this time he was pulled down by Hiyori.
She felt that she should listen to her sister's evaluation of her father, and when she watched the second speech that day, her father's attitude seemed to be aware of all this.
"Kozuki Oden has done many incomprehensible things since he was born."
"He threw his nanny out when he was a few months old. At the age of 4, he threw a huge rock to kill a giant bear. At the age of 6, he started to go to red-light districts. At the age of 8, he drank and fought with gamblers. At the age of 9, he was included in the gang's blacklist and burned down the gang's casino in anger. He was arrested for violent injury..."
"At the age of fifteen, she caused a harem rebellion... She failed to go to sea thirty-eight times, and it is illegal to go to sea in Wano Country."
⊙_⊙⊙_⊙
Below the stage, Hiyori and Momonosuke were stunned.
They had never heard that their father had such a glorious history, and the so-called harem chaos made Momonosuke very envious.
Meanwhile, Hiyori was considering whether or not to go back and tell her mother.
