Chapter 135: Shogun of Wano Country: Seimei! Redividing and Governing Wano Country Goetia’s birth.
To the entire Edward Family, it represented an enormous and terrifying improvement.
After all!
Top-level combat power was the true decisive combat power on this sea.
For all major forces.
If you wanted to become a top-tier force, the most important point was that your family had to possess at least one Admiral-level fighter, right?
If you did not even have one, wouldn't that be embarrassing?
As for the Edward Family, their family had already produced a monster who could surpass the limit of Admiral-level, fully crossing past that boundary. The improvement this brought to the Edward Family no longer needed to be explained.
Of course.
The changes on the family's side were not something Wano Country's side knew about.
Artoria and Seimei were currently so busy they were about to explode.
August 1st, Year 1481 of the Sea Circle Calendar.
Accompanied by a soft shout, Artoria held a spear in her left hand and a holy sword in her right. A sharp flash of lightning streaked past, and she directly sent the samurai blade in her opponent's hand flying.
Her opponent flew backward like a cannonball.
Artoria let out a long breath and softly murmured, "As expected, the improvement brought by battle is the greatest."
It had already been seven months since the siblings arrived in Wano Country.
No joke!
The two siblings were truly so busy that things were about to boil over.
Seimei was working hard to study and handle every matter in Wano Country.
As for Artoria?
Every day, she was immersed in battle, bitterly fighting and tempering herself, while also studying experience in every aspect of management.
It could only be said that…
In seven months.
Artoria had gone from twelve years old and barely at the level of a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral to now reaching the level of an elite Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral.
To put it another way!
If divided by levels, Artoria was now at the level of an elite Vice Admiral.
As for going one step further?
That would be cadre-level, quasi-Admiral-level, and Admiral-level.
Of course.
With Artoria's talent, that should not be difficult.
"Eldest Young Miss." Redfield walked over from not far away and said calmly, "Your strength is improving very quickly."
"Mm…"
Artoria maintained her manners and said very gently, "No matter what, I still need to keep working hard. Alright, let us set off for the next place."
Redfield did not say anything. He followed behind her.
The two left.
As for this place?
Someone would naturally come.
In the past seven months, the entire Wano Country had completely fallen into the hands of the Edward Family.
The Flower Capital, Kuri, Ringo, and Hakumai—these four regions had already been taken.
As for Kibi and Udon, the remaining two regions?
Artoria had led the samurai troops to attack them.
The two daimyo were both personally killed by Artoria.
Artoria did not stop there. Instead, inside Wano Country, she handled the bandits, mountain bandits, thieves, and everything else within the country. Among them, there were also no lack of powerful experts.
In Wano Country, Artoria found two Devil Fruits.
One was the Mythical Zoan, Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Bake-danuki.
The other was the Mythical Zoan, Snake-Snake Fruit, Model: Yamata no Orochi.
Both were collected. They could also be considered strategic materials.
In this battle after battle, Artoria's strength was improving in reality.
Of course.
There were limits to this method. Once the limit was reached, she would still need enough time to allow her body to slowly adapt and improve. Otherwise, it would not work.
The entire Flower Capital was…
Everyone had already become accustomed to a new order. Kozuki Sukiyaki had supposedly died, and considering Wano Country's situation, the position of shogun was passed to the daimyo of Kuri, Seimei.
This news had already spread throughout the entire Flower Capital, and even all of Wano Country.
One could only say…
For the people of Wano Country, they naturally felt that this was normal.
Since it was Kozuki Sukiyaki's arrangement, they would obediently listen.
One month later.
Kozuki Sukiyaki had "died."
Another month later.
The entire Wano Country had been fully stabilized, and all officials had been replaced by Ike's people.
Artoria returned with the samurai troops. After several months, all the mountain bandits, bandits, thieves, and remnants inside Wano Country had been cleared out.
Fifteen days later.
Public security had been restored.
The development of the Sea Prism Stone industry also began. Of course, there were special people developing this. Since money was being given, the people were naturally very happy.
September 1st, Year 1481 of the Sea Circle Calendar.
In this one month, it could be said that a tremendous earthquake had occurred.
The entire internal structure of Wano Country had undergone massive changes.
It was completely different!
To Wano Country, as long as the Kozuki clan was gone and ordinary people could guarantee a stable life with money, that was already the core. This was only one month. If it were three or four years?
Even if Kozuki Sukiyaki and Kozuki Oden revived…
Of course.
Revival was definitely impossible.
Seimei was very serious.
His father had taught him from a young age that when dealing with adults, one had to show decisive killing intent. There was no need to show mercy to any enemy.
Regarding this situation, there was no need to say more.
Seimei leaned back on his chair and relaxed. "It's finally more or less handled. Everything has entered the right track! Seriously…"
As the new shogun of Wano Country.
Seimei needed to handle everything.
Moreover.
Because he was far too young, mistakes would appear in many places.
Of course.
This was not a big deal.
If mistakes appeared, then he simply had to make up for his own mistakes.
This was not a major problem.
During this process, under Higurashi's large amount of teaching and his father's lessons regarding these kinds of people, Seimei was learning and improving at high speed.
"Seimei." Artoria walked in and said, "You can rest properly for a day or two. That is not a big deal."
"Big Sister."
"Forget it."
"Forget it."
Seimei shook his head and said, "It's better not to rest. Wano Country's situation is quite special. There are still many things I need to handle."
"For example…" Seimei said emotionally, "Although everything in Wano Country can be considered to have entered the right track, I still need to carry out a new plan for Wano Country. All traces of the past need to be handled, otherwise Wano Country's situation will not truly improve."
Listening to Seimei's words, Artoria smiled lightly and said, "Then keep working hard. I have no way of helping you with this. I promised Father that I would not participate in it. I will only watch."
"No way around it."
"Look."
"Big Sister!" Seimei looked at his eldest sister, who said that but still came to Wano Country with him, and smiled. "The current Wano Country has six regions: the Flower Capital, Kuri, Ringo, Hakumai, Kibi, and Udon. But in these six regions, the daimyo's authority is actually very large."
"Of course."
"In the future, those managing these regions will all be younger brothers and sisters."
"However…"
"What should be redivided must still be redivided."
"The entire Wano Country…"
Seimei said very seriously, "must be planned all over again. Everything must be handled anew. Only through this method can all traces of the old Wano Country be completely dealt with."
Listening to Seimei, Artoria had no objection and nodded. "What is the first step?"
Seimei said seriously, "Before I left, Father gave me a storybook describing demons, monsters, and the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. So, I plan to rename the Flower Capital to Heian-kyō."
"That is acceptable." Artoria nodded. "Other than Heian-kyō, what other names do you plan to use?"
"This…"
Seimei continued, "Other than Heian-kyō, there will be Mount Ōe, Dragon Castle, the Heavenly Capital, Arakawa, the Sea of Eternity, Sunwheel Castle, the Black Wind Forest, Mount Tengu, Yomi, the Higan, Suzuka Mountain, and Takamagahara."
"That should be about right!"
Seimei thought slightly and said, "According to the divisions in Father's story, dividing Wano Country into these twelve regions feels very suitable."
"Twelve regions?" Artoria watched as Seimei wrote and drew on the ground, gradually dividing Wano Country's original six regions into twelve regions. Together with the imperial capital, that made thirteen regions. Compared to the former Wano Country, it could be said to have more than doubled in number of regions.
Artoria shook her head and said, "Although there is no problem, dividing it into more regions will require handling many troublesome things. It is not something that can be done in a short time."
Seimei nodded. "Big Sister, that is why this is not something that can be completed quickly. At minimum, it will require two or three years. Slowly doing it is fine."
"That is not a problem." Artoria thought slightly, then nodded. "I think the situation here is still normal. There is no major issue."
"Then there is no problem."
Artoria looked at Seimei, who was busy dividing the land, and shook her head without saying anything more.
Redividing it like this?
This was definitely necessary.
There was no need to doubt that.
Wano Country had been like this for so many years. Even in Wano Country, although the shogun was the supreme existence…
Those people would definitely not wish for him to divide and change things like this.
Of course.
This was not important. As long as Seimei could handle it, that was enough.
Next.
Everything had already begun. As orders were issued one after another, Wano Country began to change.
As the Flower Capital was renamed Heian-kyō, many people were shocked.
Inside Wano Country, all important positions were under Seimei's command. Even if these old people had ideas or were dissatisfied, it did not matter. As long as they did not make trouble, then as time passed, these would not be problems.
As time continued to pass.
Everything would slowly be dealt with.
Within a room.
Of course.
The three people present all fell into silence.
Kurozumi Higurashi said, "Wano Country has truly fallen into our hands. The Kurozumi clan has become the ruler of Wano Country."
However!
There was nothing wrong with what she said.
"Semimaru."
"Higurashi."
"Fukurokuju."
After Kurozumi Daigan returned, Kurozumi Higurashi turned her head, looked at the three of them, and said seriously, "In the future, the three of you must assist Young Master properly."
Kurozumi Semimaru shook his head and said, "How long do the two of us old fellows have left to live? The two of us have already reached the limit of our bodies."
"Lord Higurashi!"
Fukurokuju, Semimaru, and Daigan.
The three of them all knelt on one knee. All three of them looked at Kurozumi Higurashi very seriously.
Kurozumi Higurashi smiled and said, "Alright, alright! You brats do not need to be so tangled up over it. Next, the three of you only need to establish the Kurozumi clan. Recruit orphans with outstanding aptitude from Wano Country."
"Rest assured."
"Young Master will not have any objections toward you."
At this point, Kurozumi Higurashi shook her head and said, "Although this does not sound very good, to the Clan Head, our Kurozumi clan is not worth mentioning at all. Such a Kurozumi clan is fundamentally not something the Clan Head places in his eyes. Rest assured, nothing will happen."
Kurozumi Higurashi was very calm, because she knew what the Clan Head meant, and she also knew what the Kurozumi clan represented to the Clan Head.
Because!
The two sides were fundamentally unequal. Since that was the case, what else was there to say?
