Chapter 174 The Necessity of Founding a Nation

After communication, Oden and Inuarashi followed Kozuki Sukiyaki back to the Flower Capital.

Originally, Oden wanted to rescue Cat Viper, but gave up after being persuaded by Kozuki Sukiyaki.

Anyway, it’s nothing. As long as Cat Viper doesn’t do anything stupid, he can leave in two weeks.

However, Inuarashi, who knew Cat Viper very well, knew that Cat Viper would probably stay in the quarry for a long time.

…………

The capital of flowers, the General's Mansion.

Kozuki Oden and Kozuki Sukiyaki sat opposite each other around the table, while Inuarashi and other retainers knelt behind them.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

After taking a sip of hot tea, Kozuki Sukiyaki asked slowly.

Based on his understanding of Oden, Oden would not return to Wano Country if there was nothing wrong.

Oden cared more about freedom and adventure than his people.

"Old man, Wano Country must be founded!"

Oden changed his usual playful demeanor and looked serious.

"Is it because of Raftelu's incident?"

There is nothing unexpected about Kozuki Sukiyaki. Oden had the idea of founding a country a long time ago. After going to Raftel with Roger's pirate group, it is not surprising that the idea of founding a country became stronger.

"How did you know?"

Compared to Kozuki Sukiyaki's calmness, Oden was stunned for a moment.

In his memory, Wano Country should have no access to information from the outside world.

"It's in the newspaper. Do you want to see it?"

After Kozuki Sukiyaki finished speaking, he ordered a retainer to get a newspaper and place it in front of Oden.

When Oden picked up the newspaper, the first thing that caught his eye was the big words "Adrian News".

Looking down, the newspaper is divided into several sections, namely the overseas section, the Wano Country section and the short story section.

The most eye-catching news on the overseas section is "Roger Pirates Arrives at the Final Island!", which is also accompanied by an illustration.

The illustration is a photo of Roger's pirate group holding a banquet, and Oden, holding barbecue in his hands, is sitting in the lower right corner.

In addition to information about Roger's pirate group, the overseas section also includes news about the navy and other major pirates.

For example, "Kaido the Beast got drunk and caused a scene in the Marine G3 branch, and was arrested, but escaped shortly afterwards", "Charlotte Linlin's Tea Party", "Vice Admiral Garp and the pursuit of Roger's pirate group", etc.

The following section of Wano Country is equally long, including "A Bountiful Harvest at Shimei's Wheat Fields!", "The Daily Life of the Kuri Nomads", and "The Frosted Milk Cake Shop Launches the Latest Variety!"

"Old man, do you like chocolate cake or grass jelly cake?"

"Of course it's chocolate. That bittersweet taste is the epitome of life. Chocolate is the most...wait, why are you asking that?"

Kozuki Sukiyaki moved closer to Oden and saw that he had indeed found traces of himself in the report on the Frost Milk Cake Shop.

"Ahem! Don't worry about those details!"

Kozuki Sukiyaki coughed awkwardly. Although there was nothing wrong with liking cake, he felt that it would undermine his dignity as a father.

Oden continued reading and saw the short story section.

This is a story about an old farmer with a miserable life and nowhere to go but meets his best friend, a young and strong Kentaro. With the help of the Kentaro, the old farmer reclaims his farmland and his life becomes more and more prosperous.

After reading the whole article, you can empathize with the miserable life of the old farmer and feel more intuitively the help that the Adrian Chamber of Commerce has brought to Wano Country.

"Well, does this count as founding a country?"

Kozuki Sukiyaki said to Oden who was still in a daze.

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Oden's face became solemn. He slowly stood up and spoke loudly.

"I have no idea!"

Kozuki Sukiyaki was bitten by the tea and couldn't help but spit it out.

"If you don't know, how are you going to establish Wano Country?"

"To open a country, isn't it just about opening the country's doors?"

Oden asked doubtfully.

"Is that what you think?"

Kozuki Sukiyaki looked at Oden as if he was a fool. He suspected that his fool son had not even thought about how to establish the country of Wano.

The fact is the same as what Kozuki Sukiyaki thought. Oden only knew that he had to establish a country so that he could go to sea freely.

After the journey with Roger's pirate group, he has grown a lot and knows that Wano Country must keep pace with the world and cannot stand still.

In Raftel, he learned many secrets of the world and knew that Wano Country must be founded.

But when it comes to specific methods, Oden really never thought about it.

"How do you think Wano Country was founded?"

Looking at his only son, who is also the next generation shogun of Wano Country, Kozuki Sukiyaki suppressed the urge to have another child.

"Open the country, open the gates of Wano Country, allow citizens to go out to sea, and allow people from outside the sea to enter Wano Country."

Oden expressed his thoughts, and then saw Kozuki Sukiyaki looking at him with a look of disappointment.

"And then what? Wano Country has been closed off for so many years. How can it contact the outside world? What identity should we use to contact the outside world? How can we eliminate the prejudices of the people of Wano Country against the outside world?"

As the general of Wano Country, he has thought about a lot of things in the past few years since the Adrian Chamber of Commerce settled in Wano Country.

Watching the development of Adrian Chamber of Commerce in Wano Country, he found that something was being weakened.

That is the xenophobia of Wano Country!

With the publication of the Adrian News, the citizens of Wano Country have a better understanding of the outside world.

Moreover, the changes that the Adrian Chamber of Commerce has brought to Wano Country are visible to the naked eye. The residents of Wano Country have become inseparable from these commodities that are essential in their daily lives.

Even the farmers in Hime placed statues of Xerneas in their homes. In their view, it was Xerneas that brought them a good harvest and allowed them to no longer go hungry.

It was also because of these discoveries that Kozuki Sukiyaki did not exclude the Adrian Chamber of Commerce.

Even if he found that his status was affected.

"These can be solved after the founding of the country."

Oden scratched his head. He had never thought about so much. He still preferred to do it first and then think about other things.

"Forget it, go and see for yourself!"

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at the changes in Wano Country."

Kozuki Sukiyaki has already realized that Oden only has the idea of founding a country, not to mention how to do it specifically, he doesn't even have a general direction.

Looking at Oden who was still confused, Kozuki Sukiyaki said helplessly.

"Wano Country is integrating with the outside world. I think it won't be long before it is founded."

"really?"

Oden showed a doubtful look. In his memory, Kozuki Sukiyaki was very opposed to the founding of Wano Country.

"You'll know for yourself if you go and see for yourself!"

After sending his stupid son away, Kozuki Sukiyaki thought it necessary to drink a cup of Moo Moo fresh milk to cool down.
