One Piece: Starting from Turning Wano Country into Inazuma

The two of them were planning an assassination, but the target was not Shimotsuki Ushimaru but Kuri's daimyo Xia Lin.

Kuri's daimyo was the first to tarnish the name of the samurai, and inevitably became a thorn in the eyes of these people. Shimotsuki Ushimaru's current idea is entirely because of Kuri, so let's use Kuri's daimyo's blood to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

Anyway, the life and death of Kuri's daimyo will not have any impact on them. If something happens to Shimotsuki Ushimaru, it will be difficult for them, the underworld behind the bell, to gain a foothold.

"So, how about taking action at the end of this year and the beginning of next year?" Someone suggested that they needed some time to prepare, but now there are more than three months to the end of the year, so they don't need to prepare so long, but these warriors of Wano Country always want a sense of ceremony. Therefore, time becomes very important.

Just like some people always think about going to bed at the hour or half an hour, or have to wait until the beginning of the next week or the next month to take action to do something.

However, people with such ideas always find it difficult to persist when encountering difficulties. In fact, if you really want to do something, it is best to take action immediately and start immediately when you are ready.

However, the day of the transition from the old to the new year is of great significance to them.

In fact, there is another festival that is more suitable for such an assassination, that is the Fire Festival Night. The Fire Festival Night itself is held to commemorate the deceased, a festival for the dead to rest and the living to let go, which is more suitable for sending the daimyo of Kuri on the road.

But it is a pity that this year's Fire Festival Night has passed.

It was May when Xia Lin went out to sea, and it was almost August when he returned, and the Fire Festival Night was in late August. This year's Fire Festival Night was the first Fire Festival Night in Jiuli. In order to organize this festival, Xuezi and Keiko were busy inside and outside, and even Yuriko was called to help.

Yuriko was good at many etiquette and skills, and they were handed over to her.

The entire Fire Festival Night will be held for a whole month. This month, the curfew of the people in Jiuli was postponed to 11 o'clock in the evening. Before that, the lively night market will be full of people.

The people of Jiuli are celebrating this festival, and some people from other townships who have worked in Jiuli for a short time and have not returned have also integrated into this environment.

The joy of the night is exchanged for sacrificing the daytime.

During the Fire Festival Night, the people of Jiuli have a holiday. Of course, the holiday will not be very long, only a few days, otherwise the long-term shutdown will cause problems in all industries in the entire township.

Although the official holiday is only a few days, the daily working hours will be reduced accordingly in the following days. Those who were supposed to work at 7 o'clock in the morning have their work time postponed for several hours.

Of course, these reductions in working hours are only for those who work part-time. For example, merchants or farmers who run their own businesses do not have these rigid requirements. In other words, the Fire Festival Night itself is a huge business opportunity, and no businessman is willing to miss it.

Merchants and vendors are needed to make the memorial service lively. If they also rest, how can the memorial service be held?

Strictly speaking, the Fire Festival Night has not yet ended completely. Jiuli's current Fire Festival Night has come to an end. However, it will take two or three days before the ceremony really ends. From this perspective, the Fire Festival Night in Jiuli may be more grand than the New Year.

After all, it doesn't feel like celebrating the New Year in Jiuli, where there is only summer.

There is no time to plan anything in the few days left for the memorial service.

"Then, it's decided. People from other villages will join us. Although the situation of those people is not as serious as ours, it seems that the daimyo there also has the same considerations."

The daimyo of Wano Country cannot be said to be all bastards. In fact, many of them can still see justice and the people. It's just that they didn't dare to think about such things in the past. Now that Kuri has taken the lead, they are naturally willing to give it a try.

The most important thing is that if it really succeeds, it will be able to enhance the strength of their village, and they will not be controlled by others in many aspects.

Take Hime for example. Although Hime has a lot of wasteland, as long as there are people to cultivate it, even if the fertility of the land is a little worse, at least a lot of food production can be increased.

This is in the interests of Hime Daimyo, but not in the interests of those samurai.

Profits. If they are willing to farm, why would they pick up a sword and become samurai?

Therefore, in addition to the underworld of Hana no Tokushima and Hakumai, the underworld forces in the other three townships have more or less the idea of ​​getting involved.

Involving so many forces is actually not just a matter of the status of samurai, but also concerns the survival of these underworld forces.

Now everyone knows two things. The first thing is that there is no underworld in Kuri, but the public security in Kuri is now the best in the entire Wano Country; the second thing is that Kuri's commercial tax is actually the highest in the entire Wano Country.

At the beginning, the merchants were very dissatisfied with the high taxes in Kuri, but gradually they found that without the existence of the underworld, Kuri, which has the highest tax, actually made them have higher profits.

Compared with the protection fees paid every month, the extra tax in Kuri is nothing at all.

Those daimyos are not stupid, on the contrary, they actually discovered the benefits of doing so very keenly. It can be said that it is completely based on returning the part of the profits that originally belonged to the underworld to the merchants, and taking another share for themselves.

As a result, the financial revenue of the daimyo increased, the income of merchants increased, and only the underworld was hurt.

Now, due to the unclear relationship between the underworld and the daimyo, there are frictions and cooperation between the two sides, and even because there are many relatives between the personnel of both sides, these daimyo have not immediately taken action against the underworld.

But if this continues, even if the underworld will not be banned, its power will slowly shrink.

This is what these underworld leaders do not want to see.

In order to save this situation, the underworld of Ximei, Usagi and Suzuho all plan to contribute to this assassination.

They are originally underworld, fighting and killing is their regular job, and no one thinks this is a wrong thing. Although everything that the Kuri daimyo did did not directly touch their interests, the impact it brought was indeed very far-reaching.

Since the two sides have become enemies, they decided to be more ruthless.

"Will there be no evidence?"

"Don't worry. If the daimyo of other villages were assassinated, it would definitely be a big deal, but the daimyo of Jiuli..." One of them smiled, "Jiuli's connections are too shallow. To get involved, you need power and background!"
