It's been another month since Kuzan arrived in Zuan.

"Click~Click~"

It's noon today, and Kuzan is sweating in the field with a hammer.

"Brother Kuzan, let's eat a watermelon! It used to be expensive, but now it only costs a hundred Baileys to buy a car......"

An old man with a cane in his left hand holds a small cart full of watermelons.

"Thank you~ uncle!"

Kuzan picked up one of the largest watermelons in the car, then gently opened it in half, and then used his power to make an ice spoon and ate the watermelon in large gulps.

Kuzan...... Why do adults want to come to Zu'an from the outside of the country? I've heard that the fields in the world don't need to be planted by themselves, they will grow on their own. ”

The old man walked to Kuzan's side, and asked with some curiosity, as soon as people reach old age, they seem to have returned to their childhood, and they are curious about everything.

"The outside world? It's not developed, is it? How so? Anyway, the outside world is far less safe than Zu'an! ”

Kuzan sat next to the old man, looking up slightly at the clouds fluttering in the sky, except for St. Mary Joya and Marin Fando in the outside world, there was really no safety for Zuan, at least Kuzan had never encountered pirates who came to Zuan to rob in the month of Zuan.

So Kuzan was idle, and in addition to reporting to Sengoku every week, he worked with the people to build houses and land in Zu'an, and got along with many local residents.

"Really?"

"That doesn't look like it's very good out there! But that wasn't the case with Zaun before, at least not until Kaido-sama took office......"

The old man shook his head gently, and people love to recall the time when they were young when they were old enough.

"What was Zaun like before?"

It's been the first time I've heard someone mention Zuan in the past month, so I'm interested in taking this opportunity to learn more.

"The former Zuan...... It was really a long time ago, when it was still called Wano Country, and it was a closed country, and the country was controlled by daimyo and shoguns, and many people didn't have enough to eat at that time! They all starved to death...... After that, the appearance of Lord Ota gave Kazunokuni a new look.,It's a pity that the good times didn't last long.,Lord Ota he abandoned us.,Hehehehe...... I went to sea by myself......" The old man chuckled, but no one could understand the bitterness in his eyes, and perhaps those who had not experienced that era would never understand his feelings. "Then Lord Orochi ascended to the throne, and that was also the most painful time for us, Lord Orochima's only achievement in his life was probably to introduce Lord Kaido into this country!"

"But that's all in the past, now that we're full, and no nobleman dares to blatantly bully us, it's already very happy......"

The old man revealed his heart to Kuzan.

"Alla...... You've worked so hard! ”

Although the old man said it very relaxed, but how hard it is Kuzan can probably guess, after all, among the village chiefs, there is only one old man in front of him, and the other oldest is only just fifty, from this point, Kuzan can also roughly understand the situation at that time.

"So...... If you can help Kaido-sama, please do it...... I can tell that Kaido-sama really values you, you know? The other day, I saw Kaido for the first time, and I saw him in our village...... I know Kaido-sama is coming to see you rather than us...... Alas...... Forget it...... When people get old, they love to talk nonsense...... You're going to be an old man, I'm old and confused! ”

"Go on! I'm going to give it to the other hard-working lads and give it a break, and that's what my old bones can do for this village in the end. ”

As he spoke, the old man stood up and gently patted the dust off his body, and continued to push the cart towards the other young people who were still working in the fields.

"It's a lot of hard work! Uncle! ”

Kuzan looked at the figure of the old man and felt some emotion in his heart.

"But the position is different! Uncle! ”

Kuzan looked at his navy coat with the word "justice" embroidered on the back of the ordinary stone tun and was a little fascinated.

"Maybe one day I won't have this coat behind me anymore, and I may come here to retire!"

Kuzan ate the melon in one go, picked up the hoe and continued into the field, he fantasized about his retirement from the navy in his seventies, and came to live in seclusion in Zu'an, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked.

Kuzan may not have imagined now or even in the future, that he would retire much sooner than he thought.

……

"Boom Boom ......"

Doflamingo sat in his room, which looked like a prison cell, but was actually a cell, and smiled bitterly, having escaped seven times in a month and been caught seven times.

In this month, he has met Kaido's Ember, Tom, Abaro Pizarro and Asura Boy, no matter which of these four people's strength is about the same level as him, among them, Ember is even more domineering in the use of domineering to suppress him, whether it is armed, seen or overlord, he is as weak as a child in front of Ember, the terrifying domineering pressure he can't breathe at all, the man named Ember alone without saying a word recaptured him.

The remaining Tom and the Asura Boy were able to fight against him, a fruit powerhouse, by close proximity to swordsmanship...... Among them, the man named Tom was in particular, he had heard that the guy was also a capable person, but until now he had never seen the other party's abilities...... and Abaro Pizarro is not only outrageous in his mouth, but also like a monster.

But he was not discouraged, Doflamingo, he always felt that he had a hope of escaping, until the seventh time he escaped, he was almost successful, he had already grabbed the boat, and was frozen on the dock with the people and the boat.

When the ice melted, the moment he saw the figure, he chose to give up and run.

It was also at that time that he Doflamingo learned that in addition to a sea emperor living in this damn Zuan country, there was also a brigadier admiral living in TM.

"Bastard!"

Doflamingo's words were scolding himself, he had always been proud of his strength before coming to Zu'an, and it wasn't until he came to Zu'an that he found out that his strength was only at the level of a cadre of the Imperial League, and he was only at the middle and upper level of the cadres of the Imperial League.

Doflamingo, who had nothing to do, picked up the phone bug that Kaido had given him again.
