"Since I'm the new king, I'll announce two things and three things now. Uncles, you should know that after Roger became the Pirate King, the wave of pirates is getting bigger and bigger.”
Hearing Wu Zhan's words, the expressions of the officials instantly turned solemn.
That's right. The Dragon Country was originally isolated from the world. Other than those powerful sword heroes, very few people came here.
However, ever since Roger became the Pirate King, more and more pirates had entered the new world, and the Dragon Country was often visited by pirates.
However, these pirates didn't come to the Dragon Country. They either ran into rocks and died in the sea when they approached Primordial Island or entered Primordial Island from other routes and became food for the powerful beasts on the island.
As for entering from the mouth of the Longjiang River, it was not the nest of the Sea Kings. Even a person and a boat would not be enough to be swallowed by those monsters.
However, they also felt that the pirates were becoming more and more arrogant.
"I plan to start a special training class for young people based on the previous junior class. I'll focus on nurturing the good seedlings between the ages of eight to fifteen and teach them the orthodox martial arts of the Dragon Country. This time, the selection would be conducted at the national level. Regardless of their family background, after they were selected to enter the special class, their families would receive the salary of ordinary soldiers every month.”
Everyone exchanged glances. This was a pretty good method.
In the sea where pirates were becoming more and more rampant, even if they had been isolated from the world, they had to be prepared for danger.
"The second thing is that I plan to save up for a period of time and choose to open the sea at a specific time!”
"Open the sea?"
Hearing Wu Zhan's words, the expressions of all the officials changed drastically. Even Bai Ze, who was standing below, had a slight change in expression.
"I know that everyone abides by the rules of our ancestors, but I have a feeling that the era of the great pirates will only become more and more intense. If he did not want to be swallowed by the waves of the sea, he had to become stronger. "Otherwise, we'll be devoured by others sooner or later. Don't forget the traitors who fought with my father for an entire day and night. The barrier of the Dragon Country can't stop any of them from returning.”
"That person? If he dares to come again, we'll make sure he doesn't return.”
"If he comes again, what can we use to resist him? Back then, his strength was not inferior to his father's. Now, with the help of the Divine Dragon Fruit, his strength must have entered a new level. It was said that he had even established his own pirate group.”
Wu Zhan's question caused the minister who had just spoken arrogantly to suddenly be stunned.
Although the Dragon Country was closed off from the outside world, it wasn't really isolated from the outside world. There were still some news birds that often came here on the surrounding walls or at the edge of the island.
They knew exactly how terrifying that monster was. Therefore, they knew that if that person returned to the Dragon Country again, it would definitely be a catastrophic war even if they managed to stop him.
For a moment, even Bai Ze clenched his fists tightly. He couldn't help but understand Wu Zhan's plan.
In this era, if one did not become strong, they would die!
"However, this matter needs to be discussed slowly. If we open the sea and establish a connection with this world, other than facing the impact of the sea, it will also be an opportunity. " Opportunity is for those who are prepared, so we need to make a lot of preparations. This is related to the third thing that I mentioned, which is the development plan of the Dragon Country. This matter requires me to discuss it with a few cabinet ministers.”
The ministers and nobles immediately looked at the young emperor. It seemed that this young emperor was not really crazy.
The plan to open the sea needed to be extremely careful. Once the sea was opened, it would either lead them to destruction or prosperity!
However, opening the sea was a plan that Wu Zhan had long prepared. If the Dragon Country continued like this, they would be affected sooner or later when the four emperors expanded their territory.
Moreover, he had the system now, so opening the sea was the way to go.
Whether it was the rise of the empire for the main mission or the world famous for the side mission, he needed to contact the outside world.
Of the three main missions, the main mission was to develop the Dragon Country. With the Dragon Country's national strength as the standard, if the Dragon Country wanted to grow stronger, they had to leave this Primordial Island.
The two side quests were Reputation with the Country and Personal Reputation. If they didn't open the sea, the outside world wouldn't know about the existence of the Dragon Country.
After the ministers left, Wu Zhan left behind the Imperial Guards Commander Bai Ze.
"Commander Bai Ze, have you ever thought of going out to sea to adventure?”
If the Dragon Country opened up the sea, they would lack experts who could shock the world.
It wasn't that the Dragon Country didn't have any experts, but they lacked top-notch experts. Although there was a fine line between a substitute general and a true general, it was a qualitative difference.
As a magical beast ability user, Bai Ze had just entered his prime and had the potential to continue improving.
Moreover, Bai Ze was a confidant left behind by the previous Dragon Lord, so he could be trusted. Moreover, the only one who was qualified to go out to sea now was Bai Ze.
"If you want to be strong, you have to constantly challenge yourself. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that his strength has completely surpassed my father's at his peak.”
Twelve years ago, Kaido was at most a great pirate. His current strength was not even at his peak. He should be at the level of a general.
Even if the four emperors were at the same level as the general emperors, there was still a slight difference between them.
Perhaps the Red Hound would reach the level of four emperors after the war in the future, but that was a top-notch expert selected from the tens of thousands of naval forces. It was the highest combat strength of the World Government.
"I understand, but the safety of the capital?”
Bai Ze did not expect Wu Zhan to know so much. How could he not understand these principles?
However, Bai Ze couldn't leave in peace.
The imperial guards and the army restricted each other. If he left, who could suppress the general, even though he knew that Long Qian was loyal to the Dragon Country?
"Commander Bai Ze, you don't have to worry about the safety of the palace. Other than the guards, I still have some trusted aides that I can arrange for you to stay by my side. As for the guards, I still have two demon fruits. One is an ancient short-faced bear fruit, and the other is a golden eagle fruit. They should be able to make up for the temporary loss of power.”
The ancient short-faced bear fruit was even more precious than the nature-type fruit to the Archaic Remnants. The golden eagle fruit also had a rare flying ability.
Even Bai Ze couldn't help but look at Wu Zhan solemnly. The royal family's foundation was far stronger than he had imagined.
Wu Zhan was only a twelve-year-old child. The three extremely precious Demon Fruits were undoubtedly the foundation of the former royal family in Bai Ze's heart.
A powerful animal-type demon fruit could nurture an expert. Moreover, Bai Ze knew that Long Xiong was also a confidant of the previous Dragon Lord. The possibility of rebellion was very small. It was mainly because those nobles were ambitious. After all, who would arrange a person with ulterior motives by their side?
With the addition of two powerful Devil Fruits for the experts of the Imperial Guards, Bai Ze was finally relieved.
"Bai Ze will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty!”
Wu Zhan nodded. He had Bai Ze go out to train and become an expert. In fact, he also planned to let Bai Ze rope in some experts.
This way, he would not be affected when he opened the sea, and there would be experts to hold the line.
