Land of Wano 2
Another outsider
In the land of Wano, it is very unusual for a woman to carry weapons. Especially blades. So when Rocks D. Kraken saw a woman in black kimono was walking in the streets, he decided to follow her. Soon he realised that she was not alone. Along with her there were two teenagers. One is a girl with blonde hair, and another one is a large teenager who looked very strong. The women herself was very out of the place. You usually don't see a nine feet tall woman in the land of Wano. Women here, are protected by men. That's the basic concept in this country. The woman was wearing a pair of round glasses. Her face and exposed part of her hands were full of scars. Although from distance they looked more like tattoos, but due to the dissimilarities among them it was clear that those were battle scars. From these characteristics Kraken, who was going by the alias of Kurotako, immediately recognised the woman and her group as outsiders.
Obviously since they were not from here, they didn't know about many customs of the country. It won't be a problem as long as they don't go to flower capital. But the samurai there, will be able to identify these people pretty easily. They were in Kuri, which was a law less area. That's why the samurai patrols are rare in these areas. It has been ten years, since he has been living here, but he has seen Samurais catching a few outsider trying to infiltrate the country before. A slightly unusual behaviour, could easily attract their attention.
And once it is confirmed that they are outsiders, then they will be chased out of the country. But if they fight back, then in the worst case scenario they will be captured and sentenced to death.
But he was not worried about the woman and her group. They were probably pirates. He couldn't care less what happens to them. What attracted his attention was the sword in her back.
Kraken was a smuggler. He was living in the land of wano as a carpenter. But in reality he was a sword smuggler. Even a normal blade made by the blacksmiths of wano country is considered unique and high quality item in the rest of the world. So a normal sword that costs him two gold bars, will easily go up to five to ten millions berries depending on the market and the buyer. This was very risky business since, if he got caught, then he will have to flee or he will face execution. But the business was really very profitable one. The price of two gold bars in the outside world, is around twenty five thousands berries. And considering that, he was making a huge profit, from this business. And from his experience, Kraken knew that the broad sword carried by that woman, was at least a rare grade sword.
After following them for a while, he saw them entering the single bath house in the Kuri. Contemplating for a few seconds, he decided that it might be the best time to steal the sword.
...
"I can't believe that exchanging gold for gold money is so easy." Goggy said as we left the exchange centre.
Unlike the canon, the land of Wano is a very rich and prosperous country. They use different types of gold coins as currency instead of paper money. It shows how rich they truly are. We were in Kuri, which was supposed to be a lawless area of the country. But from the lifestyle of the people it seems like a rich area. Compared to the miserable condition of this land in the canon it seems like a Paradise.
"Where are we going next ?" Astrid asked me.
"To the bath house." I replied to her.
"May I ask why ?" Astrid asked.
"Because we want information. Well, I don't know if there is a bar in this country. So a public bath house is our next source of information. My main reason for coming here is to learn something.
Don't worry I will still continue your training." I told her and went to the direction where the sign board was.
Thankfully I didn't had to ask anyone for the direction since the signboard has the direction of the public bathhouse as well.
While walking in that direction, I felt someone following us.
And unlike before I was not going to ignore a potential threat.
"Goggy, Astrid, be on your guard. Someone is following us. Don't try to act suspicious just follow me.
And one more thing, do you remember your new names ?" I asked them.
"I am momotaro." Goggy replied.
"I am momusagi." Astrid grumbled.
I noded at them. As we reached the bath house, I kept a close eye on our follower. I tried to use the emotion sensing aspect of my observation haki in order to figure out his intentions. Surprisingly he held no hostile intention towards any of us.
But there is a lingering feeling that he wanted something from us, most probably me.
The bath house was a mixed public bath house. Even though I was not familiar with Japanese traditions and culture, I knew that bathing and nudity was not considered as an sexual act there.
'It must be the same for wano.' I thought to myself. I didn't have any problem with nudity. Nor did Goggy. The only one, uncomfortable with this was Astrid.
After we payed the money, we stored our things in the rented store room.
The towel they give me, was too small for me to wrap around my body. So I went in topless.
As we entered the bathing area, most of the eyes fell on me. Probably due to my scars.
But just as a about to enter the water, a voice stopped us.
"Outsider ! Stop in your tracks !"
Then I realised my mistake. My back was exposed.
'But ! How in the world, someone from a closed off country knows about my mark ?'
