There will be some errors regarding the ages of Oden and MC in the current part of the story. Please bear with it.

Well, that was easy.
Convincing Oden to let him become his retainer was easy for Shuunya. Because for him who read the manga, he knows all the great events of Oden, even better than his father, sukiyaki. However this alone is not enough to convince him, so shuunya also told him a few things about the outside world that he just so happened to hear from a "trespassing" pirate who happened to escape from the shogunate to kuri.
However, Oden is low on funds himself, too. So they have to mange things one way or the other. By now, even the mountain god incident has not yet occurred so, if oden starts his journey, which he kinda did, shuunya will be his first retainer. There are still 2 years before oden starts accepting retainers, so in the mean time, he could learn haki from oden and also analyse him to learn about the reason for difference in physiques.
So the next events would be to try and escape from wano for 38 times as in the original, maybe more. And then if no major changes occur, after the mountain god incident, start roaming the country, then clearing kuri. Wait for whitebeard's arrival and leave wano.
That's how it was supposed to be, yeah.
"Are you the One who is encouraging my son to break the rules and leave the country?"
No, I am not.
"The plan to go outside is mine and mine alone, he is just someone who is similar to me"
Yes. Yes.
"No matter what you say, it doesn't change the fact that he is involved in this charade of yours"
No. Don't talk nonsense, Old Man.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, because when shuunya revealed a few facts about the outside world, he wanted to convince oden as fast as possible, so he told oden about the various races, climates, division of sea etc., he riled oden up to go outside. This caused oden to franticly go to sea more and more and made sukiyaki feel terrible.
Man, I kinda missed this place. Unfortunately, I have to leave as soon as possible since this will delay my training. Fortunately, the prestige of oden is much higher here giving me some leeway.
Since shuunya stayed with oden for a couple of months and even seen him in action, he observed and analyzed the way oden's body works compared to his. There are many notable difference, the main difference being the basic working of the body have increased by an order of magnitude all around.
And after a year of hard work, he finally realized how to change his physique. The most vital necessity for his plan to work is the Navy Six Styles Secret Life Return. This allows for rapid digestion of food in his body. Coupled with the fact that his brain is working increasingly better day by day, he can slowly increase his physique to the same as the strongest in the sea.
However, he doesn't know anything about life return. This year allowed him to grow stronger int terms of skills, but his physique was still a problem for him. He learned oden two styles, but that style didn't suit him much. However, it is true to say that it is his most powerful skill ever.
Observing oden for a year helped him have an understanding of life return, and as long as he learns how to perform the remaining Six Styles, he may be able to do so instantaneously though that would have to wait until he goes out of wano. Unfortunately, that is about 11 years later and he can't wait for so long. His only option would be to forcefully eat until his stomach almost bursts out, and digest it quickly by exercise.
He himself is currently sentenced for 5 more years, but he could get a pardon if he plays his cards carefully.
I better stay put in here for a while, atleast until th mountain god incident. Then when oden gets disowned, I can convince sukiyaki to let me be his follower. though for that he needs to believe that I no longer have the Intention of leaving Wano. Sorry in advance Oden, but it seems I need to fool you for a while for this to work.

Wano, Flower Capital, 1483
Although I have been to flower capital before, but I was in a rush then because of Oden and Sukiyaki. Now that I look at it, it really is much more beautiful than what I heard.
Walking down the streets of flower capital towards the Shogun Mansion, a 18 years old boy wearing traditional clothing with black hair and black eyes is seen walking looking around him.
Shuunya was granted permission to end his sentence early because of his his exceptional behavior, and moral conduct. And is assigned by the Shogun to Convince the young prince from leaving the country.
What a joke of Fate
However, shuunya himself amassed a considerable number of followers in the prison. They agreed to work under him under the premise that he releases them from their torture.
It seems there may be still a couple of days before the incident itself, Nice.
More time means more preparations. Which means he can meet Kinemon and his friends in advance and become acquainted with them. This not only works in his favor later on but he can also learn when the beast will attac-
Oink! Oink!~
A crow's tongue indeed.
Well, I'll atleast delay it for a while before Oden comes, maybe fewer people will die because of it.
The boy draws the two swords attached to his waist from their scabbards and takes his stance.
"Oden Two sword style"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The mountain god has appeared. Run for your lives."
"Look a swordsman has stopped the mountain god"
"He doesn't look so strong, lets run from here while he stops it"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You shouldn't have brought that here Kinemon"
"I didn't know it was real okay? I thought it was just a fairy tale."
"That is a ancient beast, Kinemon. Its not something we can stop by our own. We need to take it out of here as soon as possible."
Oink! Oink!
"Oh No! The mountain God is here. It really showed up."
"Damn it!! I might be held responsible for the destruction of capital."
"I may not know you but, I need you to hand me that boar"
"Kozuki Oden!?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Man, its so tiring to fight against this thing. Because of its shear size, its stamina is humungous, but then again due to the large surface area at the contact, not much of its strength can be exerted. Of course only comparatively. I can only delay it, but defeating it would be impossible."
Shuunya spoke as he dodged the attack from his front by jumping high in the air. The boar lifted it's head to hit him again but be turned around rapidly mid air to dodge it.
I could use moon walk but too many people are focusing on me and some of them are not positive at all
Shuunya is waiting for oden to appear, and strike the boar. Then according to what had happened, based on oden's personality, he would take blame for the incident like the original.
"RAAAARGHHH"
And thats my que to bail out
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You know, your father told me to keep an eye on you through your journey across the river, hoping I would stop you from making chaos"
"WaHaHa!! He still worries about after disowning me huh"
"Well, he is your father after all. Atleast give the man some respect, anyone else would probably be punished severely instead of just disowning.
Well, what next?"
"Lets go and meet Yasui-dono"
"Ok. But do you want to take care of the ones behind us first?"
"Let them do as they wish. they'll get tired by the time they reach the estate."
"True"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wano, Hakumai Region
Kurozumi Orochi, huh. I need to make a plan for them to be caught.
"Hello Uncle"
...
"Ashura Doji, huh? You are from Kuri, right?"
"Yeah, I escaped from Kuri. I once had a chance to meet him, but unfortunately it didn't happen. But he is as cruel as they say though."
"I see. Then from today I'll start my tour around the country."
...
After Oden left from hakumai estate,
"Lets just pass it of as a passing natural disaster."
"Are we really not going to persecute him for this?"
"No."
...
Wano, Kuri, Sea Calendar 1491
Finally, Oden became the daimyo of Kuri. 3 more years before Whitebeard comes to Wano. And my Entry ticket to outside World.
Shuunya has worked hard to make things work for himself. He has made a few changes to this isolated region. As the chief retainer of Kozuki Oden, he has access to more thing than ever before. After confirming that there is no information from outside to wano, even to the shogun himself, he started to implement his plans to change the country to a better place.
The basic necessities of life in general are food, water and shelter. And these are the things that he focuses on the most. Since Wano is not obligated to pay the celestial dragon gold, the country has more finances than most of the world.
He started an information agency, just to spread the news faster.
But for a country with the view of traditional japan, which is isolated from the world, there isn't much he could do. He himself doesn't much freedom while being the chief retainer, and he also has to learn the manners to be one. And his current focus has been to strengthen himself as much as possible, before the arrival of whitebeard.
Ofcourse the most important thing he did was to snitch on Orochi. Because of this there is no Kanjuro among the retainers, which solve many hidden dangers.
With all that considered, it is time for Oden to encounter Kawamatsu and others.
However there might be some changes here and there, as we cannot underestimate the butterfly effect. I think its better for me take him there.
Shuunya kept staring at the ceiling while sitting at a desk. he suddenly spoke,
"John, what happened to the task I gave you about monitoring the beach near kuri?"
"We have some brothers stationed there 24/7 in rotations. We will inform you about their arrival as soon as we notice them."
"No need to notify me about their arrival. Just make sure that Oden meets them at the right time when they are at their rope's end."
"Your orders have been noted."
Al, what is the progress of the physique research that I commissioned you to do so?
"The data has been processed and stored in the File Physique Enhancement Program(PEP). Though there are other factors, Bloodline Factor still remains as a key role for success"
Notify me on further updates.
"Duly Noted."
