----------

The pure gold divine dragon, crafted with 5 billion gold pieces, shined with a dazzling golden glow under the lights, deeply shocking the hearts of the executives.

Fame, power, wealth!

This was the symbol of all three combined!

"5 billion worth of gold!"

Kaido stared at the golden divine dragon, which was even more valuable than himself, his eyes unable to move, his look as loving as if he had seen his beloved.

How wonderful would it be if this thing were placed by his bedside!

Yes, by his bedside!

He wanted to look at it every day as he fell asleep!

"Worororo!!!"

Kaido laughed loudly, his wild Conqueror's Haki sweeping through the party hall, showing his uncontrollable joy to everyone.

He was happy!

It deeply pleased him!

Kaido laughed without stopping, raising his sake bowl to Daichi: "Daichi, you've made me so happy today! Come, have a drink with me!"

"Alright."

Daichi smiled and clinked bowls.

The 5 billion worth of gold had nearly emptied all his savings, including the money from selling houses in Hakumai and over 200,000 gold from bandit suppression.

He felt a pang of heartache too.

But money was meant to be spent, as long as it was spent wisely.

He was not showing off his wealth to boast.

"Daichi ♡!"

Ulti immediately ran to Daichi, hugging his leg, her eyes turning into glittering dollar signs.

"So you're that rich ♡!"

5 billion gold!

A number she dared not even imagine.

She had no idea Daichi was so wealthy!

With so much money, how many branded clothes and bags could she buy!

Could he share some with her?

Page One also came over, his look more determined than ever: "Brother-in-law, you should marry my sister right now! I'll go prepare your bridal chamber, and you can have your wedding night tonight!"

"...."

Sweat beaded on Daichi's forehead.

Page One, calm down!

Your sister, she—huh?

Daichi looked down at Ulti.

"I do! I'll bear your children!"

Ulti clung tightly to Daichi, her money-grubbing eyes seemingly looking at a mountain of gold, not a spouse.

You calm down too!

Sasaki also walked over, raising the sake bottle in his hand.

"Daichi, a drink?!"

"No problem."

Just as Daichi was about to pour the sake, Page One quickly handed him a sake bowl, while Ulti served him by pouring the drink beside him.

"Brother-in-law, I'll hold your bowl."

"Daichi ♡, this humble maiden... I'll pour your sake!"

The siblings had never been so attentive, their fawning expressions quite fake.

Daichi remembered how disgusted the siblings' eyes were when they left for the expedition, looking at him with an attitude of disappointment.

How did that saying go?

Thirty years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

Oh, only half a year had passed.

Ah, he still preferred their rebellious look.

"Thank you."

Daichi took the sake with a wry smile and clinked bowls with Sasaki.

Sasaki nodded and turned to leave.

He admired strength and only liked to drink with true powerhouses. Although he didn't know how strong Daichi was, being able to produce 5 billion gold pieces was certainly proof of his power!

The Headliners swarmed over.

"Daichi-sama, I toast you!"

"Me too!"

"Don't cut in line, I was first!"

The Headliners competed to drink with Daichi. Only a fool wouldn't know that you could offend anyone else, but never the God of Wealth!

Even a little something that slipped through Daichi's fingers would be enough for them to squander.

"Don't rush, one by one."

Daichi welcomed everyone, drinking with all the Headliners, and his amazing alcohol tolerance once again drew their praise.

"He can drink so much!"

"He's amazing!"

"As expected of Daichi-sama!"

"He's both handsome and generous!"

The flattering words made Daichi feel a little embarrassed.

If you have more nice things to say, say them!

He loved to hear it!

The grand party celebrating the Fire Festival turned into Daichi's personal show, making the three All-Stars unable to maintain their composure.

King and Jack were alright.

Queen looked at Kozuki Hiyori in his arms and suddenly found her less appealing. How could a beloved woman compare to the charm of money!

Should he go and toast him too?

No, no, no, with so many executives watching in the party hall, if he went to toast, where would his All-Star dignity go?

King would definitely mock him!

Hmm, it's better to do it privately later.

After everyone had a round, the executives' excitement finally calmed down a bit, but Daichi remained the focus of the party.

Kaido looked at Daichi, his mind full of questions.

Where did this kid get so much money?

Even Orochi, emptying his entire fortune, couldn't produce 5 billion gold pieces. Could it be that Daichi had searched all of Wano Country?

But Wano Country was very peaceful, even unnaturally so. Newcomers might even think it was a peaceful nation.

He couldn't figure it out, absolutely couldn't figure it out.

The Beast Pirates' expedition lasted for half a year, stealing from over a dozen countries, yet even his accumulated wealth as the Captain, after giving money to his subordinates, wasn't this much!

Was playing house more profitable than stealing?

Kaido frowned deeply.

"Daichi, where did your money come from?"

"The money, of course, was earned from the common people!"

Daichi answered with a smile.

Earned from the common people?

Kaido was stunned for a long while, and the other executives were equally confused, looking at Daichi with disbelief.

How did he earn it?

Selling weapons couldn't be this fast!

"It would take a whole day to explain in detail. You'll know later."

Daichi smiled and drank, well aware of why Kaido and the executives couldn't understand.

This matter should be blamed on the world itself.

Under the evil rule of the Celestial Dragons, the entire world was forcibly divided into two major factions: affiliated nations and non-affiliated nations, naturally opposed to each other.

Coupled with the oppression of the Heavenly Tribute, the entire world was in a state of war, and even affiliated nations were constantly at war with each other.

However, war greatly weakened national strength, and countries could only replenish themselves through stealing. There was no extra manpower or resources to invest in production. The more countries fought, the poorer they became, eventually spiraling into a vicious cycle.

This situation was not uncommon in his previous life's world. People in war-torn regions couldn't even get enough to eat, and rulers changed every few days.

Most pirates had grown up in war-torn areas, Kaido was no exception, and even after going to sea, he saw nothing but destruction. How could they understand the importance of production and development?

Draining the pond to catch all the fish had its reasons rooted in the times.

However, a stable country that fully develops its economy can do so at an amazing speed, just like his hometown, whose GDP multiplied countless times in just thirty years.

This was the current situation in Wano Country.

Moreover, real estate could perfectly serve as a pillar industry, not only quickly emptying the pockets of the common people but even overdrawing their future, forcing them to work desperately.

Even if there were many drawbacks, those were decades away, and there was no need to consider such long-term issues.

He had already experienced this development process firsthand. Although he couldn't perfectly copy it, drawing a tiger by following a cat was not a big problem.

He had already kidnapped Wano Country!

If it developed like this for a few years, even if he wanted to leave and wash his hands of it, the people of Wano Country would kneel and beg him to stay.

"Kaido, the brothers outside are still waiting for us."

Daichi stood up and walked out of the party hall.

Drinking had taken up a lot of time, and the pirates waiting in the plaza were already impatient. The next major event was approaching.

The Tobi Roppo challenge!
