Chapter 140
Hanano Hyogoro was a little yearning when he heard Brook's words. Although the Hana no Michi where he was now was very prosperous, other places were still a little poor and backward.
There was even an extremely chaotic place called Kuri, where good and bad people were mixed together and the people were living in poverty. Even the generals and daimyo could not suppress the darkness there. The underworld warrior culture of Wano Country was prosperous, and almost everyone carried a sword. This meant that the peace here was only relative. A large number of declining underworld forces who were killed and hunted by vengeance fled to Kuri.
This also led to Kuri becoming more chaotic. Countless orphans and orphans also drifted there to survive, and Kuri was also the only area that was not connected to Hana no Michi.
Kuri seemed to have gathered all the dirt of Wano Country. Even members of the Kurotan family also drifted here. Various declining families took refuge here. This was simply the lawless zone of Wano Country.
There was also a garbage dumping town called Jianlou Town, which was like the garbage mountain and uncertain terminal of the Goa Kingdom in the East Sea, but it also supported many people in distress.
Flower Capital is protected by Hime, Udon, Suzuho, and Hakumai. It is also the most prosperous capital. All places pay taxes to the general. Gangs are thriving in Flower Capital. There are casinos and bathhouses everywhere. It has the largest entertainment venues. Kuri is completely separated by Hime and Udon, far away from the capital Flower Capital. There are no managers or daimyo here. There is only an endless struggle for survival.
The gangs here are not called gangs, but simply robbers and bandits. There is no order here. The strong ones can enslave others and kill for money.

"Everyone has food to eat, what a wonderful fantasy!"
Hana no Hyogoro said with emotion. Under the samurai culture, it is normal to be oppressed, so he became a gangster and joined the class that oppresses others.
He also envied those noble families and wealthy businessmen, and was used to seeing the enslaved poor peasants, tenants and servants. He could only guarantee his own morality and try not to oppress the poor peasants and the poor.
But it was his insignificant morality, like a great good man in the underworld, that won the respect of countless grassroots people. It can be seen that the oppression and exploitation of the gangs in Wano Country is heavy.
In the original work, Kozuki Hiyori used Kozuki's identity as an oiran to deceive a bald rich businessman in order to make money. In order to redeem Kozuki, he, a landlord and a wealthy businessman, had harmed so many people.
Kozuki and Kyoshiro thought they were noble and said that they used the money they cheated to help the poor, but this money was originally the blood and tears of this landlord who had caused so many families to be broken up.
These people could still survive, although they had a hard life, but after Kozuki's seduction, this landlord and a wealthy businessman made them sell their houses and daughters, and their families were broken up.
It was really a highly feudal and loyal country. The general controlled the country through the daimyo and the aristocratic families. He hardly cared about the people at the bottom. The Kozuki family only needed to win over these daimyo and ensure their loyalty.

"How about it? Hyogoro, have you made up your mind? I heard that there is an extremely chaotic place called Kuri in Wano Country. If I am willing to help suppress it, I wonder if General Kozuki Sukiyaki will rent it to me?
Do you want to help me then? Manage it well, let everyone have food to eat and work, and maybe you can even become the daimyo of Kuri."
After Brook showed his strength, he used the big pie of ideal to help Hana no Hyogoro draw a blueprint, and now he tempted him with the actual operation plan and the fame, wealth and power of daimyo.
This is the position of daimyo. He, a gangster, has never thought that he can one day go from the gangster to the level of the daimyo family? It must be said that he was tempted.
Who can resist using this kind of thing to tempt cadres!!!
Hana no Hyogoro, an 18-year-old gangster, was so passionate about Brook's words that he almost rolled up his sleeves and dragged Brook to pacify Kuri!
"Lord Brook, from now on you are my boss, no, you are my patriarch, your name doesn't matter, I just want to pacify Jiuli and bring peace to the people there!"
Hana no Bingwulang immediately pushed the golden mountain, overturned the jade pillar, and bowed his head, which was so sincere and straightforward.
""Okay, okay, from now on, just follow them and call me Brother Brook. I will definitely help you become a well-known figure in Wano Country. It's only a matter of time before you become the Daimyo of Kuri!"
Brook pulled up Hanano Heigoro who was kneeling on one knee and continued to paint a rosy picture. Wow, it's true that everyone in the world is here for profit.
It's a bit repulsive to recruit right away. Even Straw Hat Luffy knows how to say 'I want to be the Pirate King' and paint a rosy picture as soon as he meets someone.
Whether he can do it or not is another matter, but shouting out the rosy picture and ambition is really memorable. If he shouts it out many times, Zoro, Sanji, Nami, and many more will remember him....These crew members became more and more convinced.
"No, Master Brook, you are my family head, how can I call you big brother, this is not in accordance with etiquette!"
Hana no Hyogoro is very disciplined. In the original work, the nine red scabbards worked hard to learn etiquette, get rid of their gangster status, and become the retainers of the daimyo, each of them was very proud.
Let them call him boss or big brother like gangsters, isn't this insulting to them? This is looking down on their former gangster status.
"Well, if you like it, now you go back to recuperate and collect seastones. I'll see if I can negotiate with Kozuki Sukiyaki to suppress Jiuli!"
Brooke said with a smile. The next step is to show force and rent Jiuli. This also reminds Brooke of his motherland in his previous life. The grape and the John Bull used various conspiracies and tricks to forcibly rent Xiaoao and Xiangjiang.
In particular, Xiaoao also left a legend of cowhide enclosure. It is not known whether it is true or not, but cowhide enclosure did happen in the Philippines.
At that time, the Spanish wanted to buy a large piece of cowhide for a large sum of money. The king was not aware of it and readily agreed, but the Spanish cut the cowhide into thin strips, enclosed a large piece of land, and gradually gained a foothold.
In the end, it was obvious that the place became a colony.
"Lord Brook, for the sake of peace in Kuri, I will also support you!"
Hanano Heigoro took his underworld brother to collect seastone first. Before leaving, Brook gave him a communication den den mushi.
Brook appeared and turned his attention back to the battle between his crew and the three daimyo. What surprised him was that Shimotsuki Toramaru, a battle maniac, was actually instructing Redfield to learn Ryuo Haki!
Is this the legendary cherishing heroes and respecting heroes? Did they develop feelings for each other while fighting?
Was Shimotsuki Toramaru invincible in Wano Country for too long? Did he want to train his opponents like Hawkeye Mihawk?
