"This is a truly novel model!"
Kuzan, having served as an Admiral, naturally possessed management capabilities.
After reviewing the various laws and regulations for Dressrosa that Uchiha Tamahiko provided him, he was nothing short of shocked.
Implementing communism is extremely difficult; just raising ideological awareness is very complex.
However, establishing a constitutional monarchy is much easier; using high welfare to entice these people to fall for it will quickly spread.
"Future tax collection will be a fixed tax rate, not a fixed tax amount. If the threshold for payment is not met, no payment is required, and the wealthy will bear the burden."
"Then the poor won't be forced to pay taxes to the point of being unable to live, becoming slaves. If they resist, they'll become pirates. At the same time, welfare will be increased to help these poor people, allowing them to survive, then pay taxes, increasing the government's power and its ability to provide welfare to the poor."
Uchiha Tamahiko explained to Kuzan.
It sounds wonderful, but when implemented, many problems will arise, such as greed.
At the same time, if the monarch cannot hold firm, the administrators will seek to acquire more rights.
But even so, it's better than the current World Government, because over forty percent of the taxes paid by commoners go to the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. Additionally, nations still levy taxes, usually fixed amounts. Those living well can barely survive, but the poor are forced to become slaves. If they don't want to be slaves, they can only resist and become pirates.
"Do you really want to change this world?"
Kuzan couldn't help but ask.
He felt as if he was being swayed.
Wasn't he here for an undercover mission, to be a mole?
He had even considered that upon joining, he would be forced to do some bad things, and he was prepared for it.
But now, was he truly being asked to change the world?
"Yes, I am!"
Uchiha Tamahiko thought about his plan to eliminate the Celestial Dragons and nodded firmly.
He felt that deceiving people was more suited to Uchiha; he couldn't bring himself to use Ashura's method of genuinely convincing himself to trick others.
"How can I help you?"
Kuzan knew that this plan could only be realized by following Uchiha Tamahiko.
For the World Government, the fixed Heavenly Tribute paid to the Celestial Dragons alone could not be removed.
Additionally, there were fees for the World Government, including military expenses, all of which had to be paid. These funds could hardly be eliminated; even without pirates, Kuzan knew that some corruption within the Marine would not cease its greedy grasp, and many expenses would remain.
Although he was there as an undercover agent, he felt he should work hard to gain the other party's trust first.
"That is to replicate and expand this model to other places, forming a certain scale to test if the effect is really that good."
Uchiha Tamahiko said.
Kuzan also nodded, approving of this method.
"So, let's seize territory first."
"Leaving this kind of thing to others definitely won't work. Without a government force that can fully execute it, it will only become like the current World Government."
"You, along with Doflamingo and the others, go out and seize territory, expanding towards the Four Emperors, annexing their territories. I will intervene when dealing with the Four Emperors; otherwise, you can handle it."
Uchiha Tamahiko pointed directly at the map of the New World.
Doflamingo, standing by, looked resentful. He hadn't expected Kuzan to actually give up his position as an Admiral and choose to work under a wanted criminal.
He had originally thought the position of First Commander would surely be his, but it was gone.
Kuzan nodded, but then immediately froze. Still seizing territory?
He had prepared for this when he came.
"No problem."
However, Kuzan still agreed.
He wanted to see if this person was truly prepared to continue like this, and also to see if this system was really that good.
The very next day, Kuzan, who had just offered his services, promptly took people out to seize territory.
Doflamingo, being responsible for firearms, did not go immediately, but sent his subordinates, telling them to behave and obey orders.
Meanwhile, the Marine quickly spread the news that Kuzan's defeat was actually because he was Uchiha's man, and he deliberately lost to Uchiha to boost his reputation and influence, among other reasons.
Kuzan, on the ship, saw the news and expressionlessly threw the newspaper into the sea.
This matter was not discussed with him when he left, and he didn't know whether Sakazuki or the World Government decided it, but he no longer cared.
When this news spread, many pirates who had given up now had ideas again.
However, Uchiha Tamahiko's task was complete, and he didn't care if anyone came to challenge him. Now, besides cultivating Yin-Yang Release, the rest of his time was spent mastering the abilities of the Ope-Ope no Mi.
Among the Akatsuki, Sasori, along with the two Hokage and Jiraiya and Tsunade, had returned to Konoha. Only Kisame, who was working, Kakuzu, who was preparing to set up a bank, and Biwa Jūzō, whom Orochimaru had taken out, remained in Dressrosa.
Konan diligently served as Nagato's assistant, helping and learning.
Might Guy was training the newly formed combat unit of Dressrosa daily, with Kyros as the first general and Might Guy as the instructor.
Might Guy's strength was still increasing, and Uchiha Tamahiko was even worried he might suddenly go bald from all the training.
Uchiha Tamahiko had originally planned to take him to challenge First Commanders and Four Emperors to gain combat experience, but Might Guy felt his physical abilities could still improve and wanted to wait until his strength stagnated and he needed combat to unleash his potential.
More than half a month passed, and the World Government found that no one had gone to Dressrosa to purchase firearms, which made them very happy.
But before they could be happy for a few days, news reports showed Uchiha Tamahiko's figure, along with a huge pile of firearms behind Belo Betty, one of the Revolutionary Army's commanders. Pictures of the two smiling and shaking hands appeared in the news.
The Gorosei were stunned. They hadn't expected such a prominent figure to personally deliver firearms; it seemed they were being underestimated too much.
But the firearms had been delivered to the Revolutionary Army, and they could do nothing.
Although they didn't know that this batch of firearms was provided for free, it didn't make them any less upset.
At the same time, they also received a reminder from Doflamingo, stating that the quantity of firearms was limited, and whoever bought them first, others would not be able to purchase any.
"Buy!"
"I want to see how many firearms Dressrosa alone can produce!"
"Arrange for people to destroy all of Doflamingo's previous underground black markets, so that Dressrosa is the only production factory!"
The Gorosei ultimately decided to pay for peace.
The Revolutionary Army was an intolerable existence for them, as it threatened their status, but pirates, as long as they didn't threaten them, were irrelevant. So, for Uchiha Tamahiko, whom they considered a pirate, paying some money for peace was acceptable.
After all, only they were eternal; in a few years, no one would care about these matters, which is why they could be so composed.
