Chapter 65 - Trade Empire Pt. 2: Kozuki Oden!

After talking to LinLin for a bit I bid her fair well before I headed out and found a nice empty plot of land in Sweet City that was nearby her castle.

Soon enough I found the plot she gave me and I set up my second shop there, though this one wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb in this food themed city as I made it similar to my manor and gave it a style that looked like it was made out of dishes so it would still fit in.

I made it look like an upside down black cauldron for its size and shape, and along with the diverse set of people that would come to this store I had it have the ability to comfortably fit anyone of any height inside, so even someone as big as a giant or LinLin will shrink to get inside as they approach the doors.

With the sudden appearance of a new building attracted people's attention, and when they saw the sign for 'All World's Good's' they remembered of the store that was constantly talked about in the newspaper and were surprised to see a new one opening up.

I had a several Homunculi run the store for me, thankfully the system doesn't charge me to hire them to work in my stores and watch over the business as they are only there to specifically work in the store and that's it.

Not to mention the stores being open 24/7 with the Homunculi needing to be changed out every 12 hours as they still require to eat and sleep like normal people just not as much as a normal person.

Once that was set up, it didn't take long for the citizens of Sweet City to begin to head to AWG to see what was there to offer.

After seeing my business begin to pick up, I headed in back before departing to the country of flowers and swords as i disappeared to Wano.

'I wonder if I can do a good Aizen cosplay with my current looks?'

(3rd Person Pov)

Wano, in the lands of Kuri, there in the central region of Kuri resides Kuri Castle or better known as Oden Castle where the current Daimyo of Kuri, Kozuki Oden, currently resides.

"Come on let me go already! I'm getting sick and tired of all this paper work! I want to go out on adventure and see the open seas already!!!" A loud shout of a man could be heard echoing throughout the castle as he was being held down by several of his retainers.

"Oden-sama! We can't let you do that! You don't have anyone to watch over your territory while your away! And besides even if your father disowned you, you still have a duty to your people and to Wano, besides you don't even have a ship! What are you gonna do? Swim out to sea on a small fishing boat? You'll just get yourself killed?!" Kin'emon(18) said while he and several others were holding Oden(20) down.

"I will figure something out on the way! So get off already! RAAAAHHH!!!" Oden shouts out before he lifts him and several of his retainers easily before shaking them all off, but before he can make a break for it they recover fast enough to grab onto his legs to stop, or at least try to stop, his escape.

"You guys can try! But your not gonna stop me this time!" He shouts out as he physically drags the six men, three on each leg, as he began to walk towards the exit of his castle.

"Oden-sama! We-" two of his youngest retainers Kiku(4) and Izou(5) came running into Odens main hall with some news, but stopped at seeing the sight of Oden being held back by Kin'emon and several of his retainers.

"Oh Kiku! Izou! What are you two up to? Are you here to help me out so I can go on an adventure?" Oden said as he just kept walking to them as he outright ignored the struggle of his retainers.

Stunned a bit at their lords impressive strength, as usual, they quickly snapped out of it, "Oden-sama some one is at our front gate, they say they are from 'outside' of Wano." Izou goes to tell which alerts odens retainers as they let go of him immediately.

"An Outsider? Coming all the way to Oden-Sama's castle? Don't they know that outsiders aren't allowed in the country by law of the shogun himself?" Kin'emon says while raising an eyebrow at the thought of someone having the audacity of coming straight to one of the Daimyo's castles, it's almost like they are putting their heads on a platter.

"I didn't believe it either, I mean he looks and sounds like a citizen of Wano, they even have the dialect of those from the Flower capital, If they didn't say they were an outsider I would have assumed they were someone of the nobility." Izou said which confused everyone more.

But Oden showed a look of excitement as his eyes sparkled, "Who cares about that! If they are from outside then they must have stories of the world as a whole as well!" He says before he bolts off for the main entrance.

"Oden-sama! Wait!" Kin'emon shouted out as he and the others chased after their troublesome lord.

Oden dashed through the castle, up the stairs and onto the castle walls as he looked down to see a lone man sitting under a tree outside as he had a sword leaning against his side.

He had short to medium long brown hair that he had swept back with one strand across his face, wearing a pure white haori with black yukata and hakama underneath with white tabi shoes.

Seeing him Oden had this feeling, something he only felt slightly when facing the mountain god six months ago, that the man before him was much, much stronger than the Mountain god and thus felt like an even greater threat to him, but this just made him smile as his blood boiled at the thought of a fight.

So he leapt from the walls before landing down on the ground not far from him as he looked at the foreigner with a grin on his face.

"Well today must be my lucky day! Not only did someone strong from the outside world come to Wano-kuni but also came to my residence and wanted to talk with me? It really must be a lucky day!" He smiled as a wide grin plastered across his face.

The man looked up slightly at Oden and smirked, "You must be Kozuki Oden then? Well now I came to talks business with you and the people of Wano, but seeing that look on your face says all I need to know." He said as he slowly stood up before raising his head to look up at the man before him.

"Wahahahaha! The one and only! So you wish to talk business Huh? Well we can talk about that later, but first let's have a duel shall we?" He said with a laugh as a massive grin plastered his face as he rested his hands on his katana's before slowly pulling both from their scabbards.

Seeing that the man just smiled as he held his katana before using his thumb to click it out of the scabbard slightly, "Hifumi Yamada, now don't hold back Oden…." He said his name before an immense level of pressure came out of the man's body that even made a man like him shake, not in fear, but surprisal and finally excitement.

"…. Because I'm giving it my all." He said as they stood facing each other with blades at the ready as the winds began to pick up between them both just as his retainers finally reached the walls to see what was happening.

Doing so in the nearly still silence a small rock fell off the walls before falling and it's soft noise hit the ground.

That was enough a signal as any as they both leapt into the fray for the fight of their lives had begun!
