I Don’t Want to Be a General, I Choose Buddhism

Ian stretched out his hand to help Yamato brush away the hair that was hanging on her face a little messily, stared at the amber eyes, and said in a very serious tone.

"Yamato, there are countless reasons and methods for me to deceive a person, but this time I deliberately tell you the truth, but the determination I hold is to invite you as my true partner, and I want to continue walking with you. "

Hearing this, Yamato's angry expression subconsciously eased a bit, and then his eyes showed a bit of sarcasm and asked.

"Did I promise, will you be willing to give up the country of Wano?"

Ian sighed and said.

"Yamato, is your vision still limited to the country of Wano? The sea is much bigger than you think."

Yamato heard the words, looked directly at Ion, and asked. "Then what is your purpose?"

"Open up a new path for Wano and this sea."

When he said these words, what made Yamato unbelievable was the light shining in Ion's eyes, which was so firm that it could be called a pious light.

Yamato gritted his teeth and questioned.

"Does the so-called road mean destruction? It's like manipulating the country of Wano into a vortex of war, leaving countless civilians struggling on the brink of chaotic destruction."

"Yamato, did the arrival of the revolutionary army really bring destruction to the country of Wano?"

Ian asked back.

"Compared to the Hundred Beast Pirates who burned, killed and looted in Wano, built a large number of weapons factories to pollute the environment, and arrested young and middle-aged people as mining workers, what did the revolutionary army do? What did the navy do?"

"The daimyo shogun system was destroyed in the country of Wano, and the samurai class was destroyed. Only the capital of flowers was destroyed, which accounted for more than 90% of the country's wealth, but only allowed the powerful to indulge in drunken life and dream death regardless of the bottom. Area."

Immediately, in Yamato's wide eyes, Ion picked up the document that Yamato had just thrown on the ground and handed it to Yamato again, saying.

"Please take a good look at what is reported in the document."

Yamato, who was already a little stunned, subconsciously shifted his gaze to those documents, skipped the beginning part that he had just read, and browsed the whole article. , Reservoir and Dams and other infrastructure.

At the end of the document, the densely packed names including Dorag and a special seal with the words "Chief of Staff" were signed. The approved budget amount made Yamato count for a while. .

'Okay...a lot of zeros...ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, billion...'

"One hundred billion bailey???"

Yamato's pupils shrank, only to feel that his throat was a little dry, and even the whole person was a little dizzy.

What kind of astronomical number is this?

You must know that Kaido's reward amount is less than 5 billion Baileys, and this 100 billion Baileys is enough to buy the heads of 20 sea emperors.

Even the "Hundred Beast Pirates" have been searching Wano Country for nearly 20 years, and secretly do not know how many weapons transactions have been carried out with the World Government and many other forces. this number.

After a long while, Yamato raised his head blankly, looked at Ian and asked. "This...is this true? No...you're not lying to me again, are you?"

Ian smiled helplessly and said.

"The signing date of this document was three months ago, and it is estimated that the 100 billion Bailey has been spent almost."

Immediately afterwards, Yan opened the follow-up documents in front of Yamato, most of which were reports on the progress of construction in various parts of Wano.

Schools have risen from the ground, hospitals have appeared on the land of Wano, and the reservoirs and dams have brought tears to Yamato's eyes...

In many of the lower layers of Wano, in addition to being unable to meet the needs of satiety, many times they can't even drink a sip of clean water.

More importantly, in the photos attached to the documents, Yamato saw happy smiles that were almost difficult to see among civilians in the past.

Their clothes may not be good-looking and luxurious, but their happy and bright smiles cannot be faked anyway.

'Those... the civilians now ruled by the revolutionary army are happy from the bottom of their hearts? ’

Ion continued speaking in a calm tone.

"In the war I manipulated, it is true that the navy and the revolutionary army destroyed the most prosperous Flower City, but just like a whale falling for all life, without the destruction of the Flower City, the rest of the country of Wano will never be possible. Completely prosperous."

"The presence of the Revolutionary Army, Shichibukai and the Navy has also brought brand new things and knowledge to Wano Kingdom, which has been almost stagnant for nearly 800 years..."

Having said this, Ion's voice paused, and then turned to Yamato and said earnestly.

"Yamato, the real founding of the country is not simply contacting the decree of locking the country, allowing the country of Wano to engage in contact and trade with the outside world."

"Perhaps it's not obvious yet, and many changes are just happening quietly, but... Now this is the real founding of the country of Wano."

Yamato stared intently at the document that Ion had spread out in front of him, but there seemed to be countless things surging in those beautiful amber eyes.

Seeing that Yamato didn't respond for a long time, Ian couldn't help reaching out to lift Yamato's chin, letting Yamato's eyes turn away from the document and turned to himself, and asked.

"To achieve your wish in this form, have I kept my original promise?"

Yamato's eyes blinked slightly, then subconsciously drifted to the side, and replied in a low voice. "Um…"

"So, Yamato, are you still planning to expel and overthrow the revolutionary army? Do you hate the war vortex I brought to Wano?" Ion then asked softly.

"For the sake of 100 billion baileys, reluctantly...forgive you..." Yamato stammered.

Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to ask.

"So...will you continue to walk with me? Wano's plan has not really ended. In order to deal with the threat from the world government, I need your strength, Yamato."

Under Ion's gaze, Yamato's mouth wriggled slightly, but he couldn't hear what he said.

"Huh?" Ian.

"stupid…"

Yamato's chest heaved again, then blushed and shouted at Ion with his eyes closed. "Bastard, still don't let me go?"

"Um?"

Yan was stunned for a moment, and asked subconsciously.

"You haven't said whether you agree or not? If you don't want to, then even if you have some regrets, you who know all my secrets, I can only..."
