Back to Wano country

"I am back!"

When Will and the others arrived at Wano country, Kaido's expression was very complicated.

At the beginning, he was defeated by Will and had to leave Wano country in despair.

Now, after more than two months, he has returned to this place again.

It's just that things have changed compared to when he left.

He is no longer the captain of the Beasts Pirates, but a member of the Rocks Pirates.

"Dad, don't worry, at least we don't have to run away anymore!"

Filial son Yamato comfortrd Kaido softly.

Kaido: " .... "

You are really my good "son"!

Kaido became irritated and was about to slap Yamato, when he was glared back by Lucy.

"Don't keep hitting Yamato!"

She hugged Yamato lovingly, "Really, what's wrong with you? She is such a cute girl, but you actually raised her like a son?"

"But don't worry Yamato, you will follow Aunt Lucy from now on. You don't need to care about your bastard father anymore. Girls should act like girls!"

Then she didn't look at Kaido's ugly face, hugged Yamato and took the other women and girls off the boat.

Immediately afterwards, Kaido looked at Will with an unkind expression: "That's my 'son'!"

Will waved his hand indifferently: "It's okay, when Lucy gets tired of playing, she will return Yamato to you!"

"That's my 'son!"

Kaido reiterated again, but the meaning is that my Yamato is not for your old lady to play. 

"Just drop it Kaido. And let's go, after Wano country's affairs are arranged, we should take the initiative in the war against the Whitebeard pirates!"

Will said dismissively. 

When it comes to business, Kaido also got serious.

"Talking about Wano country, what are you going to do? Because if we can't solve the Wano country's internal problem, we won't have enough manpower when we start a war with the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Will thought about it, and finally shook his head.

"Let's look at the situation of Wano country first before making any decision. I don't know what Wano country has become under Bullet's rule during this time."

"Also, Wano country's side is not the point."

"The result of our battle with the Whitebeard Pirates is what matters. As long as we defeat the Whitebeard Pirates, most of the jumping clowns in Wano country will naturally not dare to cause any trouble anymore."

When Will and the others headed to the Flower Capital, Bullet also received the news.

By the time they entered the Flower City, Bullet was already waiting at the street corner with his people.

"Boss Will!"

Olga, who hadn't seen him for more than two months, rushed up excitedly when she saw Will.

She looked at Will with eyes full of admiration.

"Boss Will, you are amazing!"

"Tell me, how did you kill the Pirate King? Also, is that Whitebeard a monster? And, and I heard that you found countless treasures in Gabi Sea?"

"Moreover, is that big turtle really as big as an island? Tell me, compared with Lord Lantern, who is bigger?"

As soon as Olga opened her mouth, she asked a series of questions, with a curious gleam in her eyes.

Will said helplessly, "You're asking so many questions all at once, which one should I answer?"

Olga's small face was excited: "Tell me all of them one by one!"

On the other hand, Bullet came over to Lucy's side like a big kid.

With apprehension, excitement and joy, he scratched the back of his head with a foolish smile, and called softly.

"Hey Lucy!"

Lucy said with a cold face: "Squat down!"

Bullet squatted obediently as Lucy angrily grabbed his ear and twisted it. 

Bullet's expression became slightly contorted with pain, but he didn't dare to break free.

"Hmph, you've got a lot of nerve, huh. I raised you up with all my love, but you actually sneaked out by yourself without even telling me."

"When you left without saying goodbye, do you know how worried I was?"

Will also looked at Bullet in surprise. Even he didn't know that Bullet had sneaked out!

And for such a long time, he didn't even say a word about it to him about it?

Thus when Bullet begged Will for help pitifully, Will simply rolled his eyes and ignored him. 

If he had told him from the start, there would not have been such a situation at all. He simply deserves it!

"Do you know that you were wrong?"

Lucy said solemnly. 

"Wrong, I was wrong!" Bullet said quickly.

"Do you dare to do it next time?"

Lucy asked again. 

"No, of course I don't dare do it next time!"

Bullet nodded like a chicken pecking. 

"Do you still want to have a next time?"

But instead of calming down, Lucy's tone suddenly rose again. 

"Huh? "

Bullet really wanted to cry at this moment. 

"Well, Lucy, he knows he's wrong, so let him go!"

Seeing how pitiful Bullet was, Will pulled Lucy away.

"Hmph, next time, I will break your legs. "

Lucy snorted coldly. 

Meanwhile Bullet could only follow behind him silently. 

"Pfft, hahaha..."

Olga suddenly covered her stomach, pointed at Bullet and laughed almost out of breath.

"Big guy, you have such a day too, haha..."

Bullet's face darkened upon seeing this. 

Guy Li walked up to Bullet and looked him up and down.

"Are you our deputy captain?"

"Bang bang!"

After hammering Bullet's chest twice with her fist, she nodded: "It's quite strong. Umm, just out of curiosity, are you really a descendant of the devil?"

As someone who is also from West Blue, Guy Li has naturally heard of Bullet's name.

No, it should be said that it is a notorious name.

However Bullet didn't recognize her, so he looked at Will with a questioning look. 

Will introduced: "Well, let me introduce you guys. She is Guy, our sniper!"

"And this is Gion, our swordsman, and Mox, also a swordsman. "

"This is Enel, our shipwright, Capone Bege, acting temporarily as artilleryman and mobile warehouse, and Helen, our lookout!"

"And Hina!"

Seeing that Will forgot about her, Hina anxiously raised her little hand.

"Hina is a navigator!"

She raised her small head and looked at the big guy in front of her, feeling that looking at him was no different from looking at Kaido.

"Hello, I'm Douglas Bullet!"

For future partners, Bullet also restrained his usual arrogance.

"We meet again!"

Kaido also walked over.

Both of them are tall people with almost the same strength.

When Bullet saw Kaido, he immediately grinned, exuding a vague fighting spirit.

"Hey Kaido!"

Obviously, Bullet's interest in Kaido was much greater than Gion and other new companions.

Seeing Bullet's expression, Kaido muttered in his heart: "Battle maniac!"

Then everyone returned to the general's mansion.

Bullet asked Lucy to take Hina and others to the Fuji Mountain behind the general's mansion while the big men like Will, Bullet, Kaido and King stayed here. (Queen stayed in West Blue for now.)

Will looked at Bullet: "How is Wano country doing now? Is there anyone else making trouble?"

Bullet scratched his head and said, "It seems everything is okay, I guess? I mean, no one is making trouble, uh, probably?"

"Probably?"

Will's heart skipped a beat.

"Probably" was an ambiguous word!

"Bullet, what the hell were you doing behind my back?"

When he left, he had already told Bullet to maintain Wano country's status quo for the time being, and to call him if there was any problem.

Since Bullet seldom called, Will thought that everything was fine in Wano country. 

Bullet said awkwardly, "I'm usually busy practicing! So, I don't know much about this."

"Huff."

Will sighed in his heart helplessly, but judging from the current situation, Wano country didn't seem to have any rebellion, so it's not a big problem. 

Bullet shouted outside: "Let Leopard Goro come over! And Shimotsuki Yasuie!"

Hearing this, Will looked at Bullet in surprise, what kind of mysterious operation is this?

"After you left, there were indeed a lot of riots led by Kozuki Oden's old subordinates. And after I suppressed them, I issued an announcement."

Will was a little curious: "What announcement?"

Bullet said plainly. 

"I made an announcement to recruit capable people to assist me in managing Wano country, and these two showed up!"

"Not to mention that they are really good, Wano country is well managed by them. Since then, I have never heard of anyone making trouble!"

Will: "... "

He finally understood Bullet's mentality.

He only asked him to maintain the status quo of Wano country. It doesn't matter who you are, as long as you can help him do it.

This kind of thinking is very pirate like. 

It's like Kaido can't figure out why Will is so interested in the waters of West Blue.

They don't care at all how they rule their power. As long as it can achieve the goal. But there are also shortcomings to this approach. 

Just like Wano country ruled by Kaido in the original book.

If Will was in his place, let alone 20 years, in just three to five years, he would be able to make Wano country even forget what the previous leader's last name was!
