[One Piece] Inferior Star

Chapter 366

This situation has been going on for many years.When Kozuki Oden just died, people still had some expectations, not to get better, but to continue their barely subsistence life - half of the people who thought this way at the time starved to death.

Dawu watched the small town where he lived turned into a village, and then turned into a wasteland.When he was young, he was sometimes bullied by other children because he was naturally tall and much older than other children of the same age.Slowly, those children who bullied him disappeared.Dawu felt relieved at first, but one night, he heard his mother crying and saying that all the neighbors committed suicide.

Then he realized that those children disappeared not because they didn't want to bully him anymore, but because they were all dead.Some died of starvation, some were eaten by wild animals, some died after eating their family's 'dinner' mixed with rat poison, and some died after drinking polluted water...

Also from then on, Dawu no longer hated his tall and strong body, and felt lucky.If it weren't for the fact that I have always been strong, then maybe I would never have the chance to grow up again.Now, Dawu is no longer a child, he is still taller and stronger than most adult males in this country.God knows where his muscles come from when there is no meal.

No matter what, Dawu still feels lucky now.Because of this body, he can at least do something for the people in Jianlou Village.Father, mother, neighbor's grandma, and other people who came to Jianlou Village or tried to survive here, Dawu was not good at words, but he believed that they all needed him.

However, what can I do with my strong body and scary appearance?Even when he was looking for a job on General Huadu's farm, he was rejected because he was too fierce and afraid of causing trouble.

"Dawu... you child, you haven't eaten for several days, right?"

"........."

Faced with the refusal of the neighbor's grandmother, Dawu just shook his head, and then put a rotten potato in the grandmother's hand.He doesn't know how to speak, and he doesn't know what to say at this time.He just didn't want to see the familiar people die again.

"Your father went to Huadu, hasn't he been back for several days?" The neighbor's grandmother watched Dawu grow up, and she knew what Dawu was thinking, "You have to take good care of your mother."

Dawu nodded.He still didn't say anything, and even this scarred face showed no expression other than 'ferocious'.Dawu not only has a tall and strong body, but also has a very scary face. Obviously his parents are ordinary people, so I don't know why he looks like this.

In addition, in order to help the people in Jianlou Village survive, he often went to the wilderness to find food and fight wild animals. There were many conspicuous and terrifying scars on his face and body, which made him even more terrifying.Children can cry immediately when they look at him from a distance.Even adults walk around him.

However, Dawu is a kind-hearted person.Even if he had fought wild animals, he never killed them.Their meat is full of toxins and cannot be eaten, so there is no need to kill them.Dawu thinks so.He can't even step on a bug, let alone hurt others.

"Hey, you kid...you just look fierce..." The neighbor's grandma shook her head.Dawu looks fierce but can't speak, kind-hearted and honest, this temperament combined with this appearance made Dawu suffer a lot.Maybe, in the Wano country where Mita-sama is still there, Daigo can live a better life, but now...

Glancing at the village that was nearly weathered, the old woman almost cried.People nowadays seldom cry anymore, they force themselves to hold back, after all water has become a luxury, and tears are simply more precious than gold.

"Miss, there's nothing wrong with being fierce."

Miss?Hearing such a voice, Dawu and grandma were very surprised. After all, there are very few people in this village, and there is not a single young girl.However, the owner of the voice was walking towards this side from not far away: "This is exactly the kind of person I need."

"Hey...?" Wait a minute, is Miss talking about herself?Grandma looked at the young man who came to herself and Dawu in surprise.He was wearing a black suit that was unique in Wano Country, and a black cloak was hung on his body with gold-carved chains and buttons. He was holding a dark snake-headed cane in his hand, and a huge red snake was in his mouth. gem--

With his attire, he really doesn't look like a good guy.However, because of this person's beautiful appearance, people will automatically ignore those dangerous elements.He is just too good looking.Grandma has lived her entire life and seen the prosperity of the Kozuki family and the fall of the Wano country, but she has never met such a good-looking man.

If a man can also be elected as the oiran, then this man is definitely No.1.Behind him were two men in black suits, probably his subordinates.Although they are all pretty good-looking, they are really covered up by the light at the beginning.

"Sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet." The man took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Dawu and grandma, "This is the president of Mansfield Industries, named Mansfield Warren Si. I just arrived in this Wano country, nice to meet you."

"President...President?" What is that?Mance...what's going on?industry?He is a foreigner?Because she received too much information at once, grandma was a little unresponsive.She looked at Dawu in a panic, and Dawu, who was half kneeling on the ground talking to his grandmother, stood up now. He was half taller than the 'President', and the shadow he created could shake the president and his party. The three covered them.

Under normal circumstances, whether it's Huadu's boss or Orochi's subordinates, they can run very fast when they see Dawu stand up.However, the three presidents did not flinch, and even the president had a smile on his face: "Don't be nervous, Mr. Dawu. I am not your enemy."

"..." Then what are you here for?Dawu wanted to ask this question, but for some reason he didn't open his mouth.

"It's like what I just said..." President Mansfield seemed to be able to see half of Dawu's heart, and he answered the question in Dawu's mind, "I'm here to find a new employee. Mr. Dawu, I'm here looking for you."

"…………?"Find me?Dawu looked at Mansfield's smile with a little surprise, and then looked at the card he just got.He is not very literate and has never been to school. Only his father barely taught him a few commonly used characters.He couldn't understand what was written on the card, but he thought the white card was pretty.

The black ink marks are neatly arranged together, and these patterns, what do they mean?

"Are you... come to work for Dawu?" Grandma was literate, and she was once considered the daughter of a landlord.She came out from behind Dawu, and said with some embarrassment, "Are you under Lord Orochi?"

"No. It's not. My company is independent," replied Mansfield, "but you're right. I'm here to offer Mr. Dago a job. My company has just been established, everyone. I also know that the situation in Huadu is a bit complicated, and it is really difficult to move an inch just relying on the next businessman and two bodyguards, so..."

"When I asked people near Huadu if there were any unemployed people who made people feel scared at first sight, some enthusiastic people told me the name of Mr. Dawu. Therefore, I had an incredible connection with Mr. Dawu." That's right, as long as there is such a connection, you can know whether Dawu is suitable for such a job.

In the current situation, no one is more suitable than him.Mansfield continued: "I would like to invite you to be our company's security expert. What do you think, Mr. Dawu?"

"An... An or something... Specifically, what do you want Dawu to do?" Grandma knew that many people who worked for Orochi were exhausted and couldn't get enough money to live. She didn't want Dawu to be deceived by strange people. up.

"Well... To put it simply, it is responsible for standing near the important property of the company and scaring away all the people who want to get close." Mansfield made a thoughtful gesture, and he said, "Some violence may be used, but there is no need to Kill anyone. There is no need to communicate with people too much. For Mr. Dawu, it may be enough to just stand, and it is not complicated."

"Huh? Just stand... how can there be such a job..."

"That's right. In Wano Country, there should never be such a job. But I am a foreigner, and I hope to do business here, so I still hope to do it in a way I am familiar with." Mansfield smiled, Looking very friendly, he said, "Of course, there is also a salary. It should be paid monthly, but the situation here is a bit special, how about using a weekly salary?"

"How much is the weekly knot...?"

"Although I don't know the situation in Wano Country very well, but in companies in other countries, because it is a high-risk position, the initial basic salary of a security expert is 40 Berries per month, which translates to 10 Berries per week. Let's do it." Wano country's common currency unit almost understood when it was replaced with gold...

Mansfield made a quick conversion: "According to the currency here, it's 10 gold per week."

"Huh—?!!" Grandma almost had a heart attack after hearing this, "10... you said... 10 gold????"

"Huh? Is it too little? The salary is negotiable." The gold bars got more money than expected.Mansfield said, "The job is still somewhat dangerous, and I cannot guarantee that it will be easily accepted by Mr. Orochi. There will be some risks... However, I will try my best to give employees the most basic protection. Please don't worry about this."

"It's too much! Did you know that workers who work in Huadu for a week can only get 5 silver!!"

"Hey? That's too scary. There is no basic security, isn't it? Why would anyone go?"

"This..." actually stopped me from asking... Grandma was stunned for a moment, and she said, "Because there is no other place to go!"

"Aren't you out now?" Mansfield smiled more happily, and he said, "Didn't I already provide a better job for Mr. Dawu?"

"But this is too suspicious—"

"…………I go."

Just when grandma was about to say something, Dawu finally spoke.His voice was deep and majestic, which matched his appearance very well: "Just listen to you. If, I go with you now... can you advance me a week's money? People in the village have already died I can't go down."

"Well..." Mansfield showed a satisfied expression. He looked up at Dawu and said, "Take it as a benefit for new employees. I promise you, Mr. Dawu."

"Thank you." Dawu bowed sincerely to Mansfield, and he said, "From now on, I will obey your orders. Let me do whatever you want."

"Oh... I don't need such an allegiance... But forget it. It's not bad." Mansfield was a little bit embarrassed, but fortunately his goal was achieved, and he gestured to Olu as he spoke.

Olu walked to the front, took out the gold coin from Wano Country and handed it to Dago: "This is a week's salary, so make good use of it."

"...Yes." Dawu has never seen so much money since he was so old.It turned out to be true... Could this man be... God?Is it my lord?Or the messenger of God?

"Although I know that you want to help others, Mr. Dawu, you still need to be careful of people with evil intentions. Please try to keep a low profile." Mansfield reminded him, and he said, "Okay, you should have Let’s do important things. Official work starts tomorrow, please arrive at this place in Huadu before nine o’clock in the morning.”

After speaking, Mansfield gave Dawu another note with the address written on it.Dawu took it over and said, "I... can't read."

"I'm sorry... I was negligent." That's right, if Wano Country has been like this for 20 years, then the popularity rate of culture should not be very high.Mansfield said, "Let me draw a map for you. This is the company below... No, it should be our company. But it is still in the preparatory stage, and there is almost nothing."

"I see..." Dawu silently took the map that Mansfield had drawn in a few seconds. He took out a very delicate pen from his coat, and drew the route map on the back of the business card.The handwriting is very beautiful, like a painting, "Mance... my lord. Where are you going next?"

"You can call me the boss." Because the name is too long.Hard to remember foreigners' names?Mansfield said, "I will recruit more employees. You may need to manage many subordinates in the future. I believe in your ability, Mr. Dawu. Please follow your heart and do what you think should be done. "

"...Ah. You... the boss. What a strange person." So strange.But like, not too bad.

"Many people have said that." Mansfield said, turning around and about to leave, "Then, I will take my leave first. Time is running out... I have to go to Huadu to find a 'fireman'. We will leave tomorrow See you, Mr. Dawu."

The author has something to say:

Kagawa is actually looking for the backbone of his company.Although the spider webs will meet at the center, the most important thing is the few threads that hang the spider web on the wall. You can imagine the appearance of a spider web. Generally, there is a midline point that emits a few 'rays' sticky outwards. Where, then connect the rays section by section.Therefore these 'rays' need to be carefully selected.After all, once one of them fails, a large part of the spider web will collapse.

Therefore, no matter what the reason is and how much money is spent, Kagawa will first establish these most important connections, and then complete his 'Emerald Web' little by little.
