Side story-Plans of a cunning Shogun

Land of Wano Side story

Plans of a cunning Shogun

"Your conqueror's spirit is very impressive. But.....

Haki of this level doesn't work on me." When Menma herd this words, a bad premonition washed over him. His observation haki screamed at him. But in the end he knew that he won't be able to dodge whatever was coming.

The power he used to put pressure on his opponent has no particular name in land of Wano. He could make those who disobeys him, pass out using this power. But when the woman used the same power as him, he couldn't believe it. In all his life he has been taught that women are fragile and they should be protected by men. But now and outsider has reached him who is more powerful than him. When Menma saw his men passing out from the intense pressure, he knew that fighting her could only result in their defeat. Even he himself was about to pass out when the pressure suddenly vanished.

Menma greeted his teeth to stay conscious. If the other party truly wanted to harm them, then they wouldn't stand a chance against her. It was a harsh reality. But Menma was not delusional person who would deny the reality. Since he could do nothing he decided to hear the woman.

"Now, that the Shogun has finished intimidating me, let's talk about business.

I am Monkey D Maki, a pirate from the outside world.

Don't worry, I have no hostile intentions towards this country. Nor I have any intentions of revealing those informations.

I just want to learn... the ancient language used in void century. I wants to learn how to read poneglyphs."

Hearing the woman, Menma understood one thing. No matter what, the woman wouldn't harm him or his family. But that doesn't mean they were safe. The woman could easily cause catastrophic destruction in his country. And as the leader he didn't want that.

But teaching an outsider how to read poneglyphs was equally dangerous. But then there is also the question how in the world the woman found out about it ?

"Why should I believe you ? And how did you know about such things ?" Menma asked suspiciously.

"To answer your first question. You have no reason to believe me. I hate the world government more than anything else. And spreading this information, will just give them an opportunity to gain one of the ancient weapons. I am not stupid. Whether you believe my words or not is up to you. But in this case you can do nothing about it.

And as per the answer of your second question, it is a little bit complicated for me to explain in a way that you would understand. You can say that I have seen the future. I have seen the arrival of Joy boy. About one hundred seventeen years from now, Joy boy will return. I am just trying to set up a stage for his grand performance."

After hearing her explanation Menma became even more frustrated. He was not trying to hide his stress.

But then suddenly he remember something. The only way to avoid conflicts with the dangerous person was to play a game that she could never win.

"I have no problem in teaching you how to read poneglyphs. But...

What can you give us in return ?"Menma asked the woman.

"Tell me about it ? What is your price for teaching me the ancient language ?" She asked back.

Menma sighed that the other person was ready to entertain his demands. Inwardly he smiled victoriously.

"There is a sword made by my ancestors more than eight hundred years ago. It's name was Shodai Kitetsu. It was lost in the great war during the void century. No one knows where it went. I can give you it's picture from the ancient scrolls. But if you really wants to learn how to read poneglyphs, then search and bring back that sword to me. That's my price." Menma patted himself on his back for his cunning plan. Shodai Kitetsu was just a legend. It has been lost during the initial period of void century. His ancestor believed that one of the kings of outside country killed it's wielder and stole the sword. But since a long time has passed, now it is nothing more than a fantasy tale unique to his family. Even if such an ancient sword survived so many years, Menma doubted that the woman would be able to find it. And unless she finds the sword, he will not teach her how to read poneglyphs.

"I accept your deal. But don't get back on your words after I return with the sword." The woman stood up and walked away.

Menma unconsciously released a breath that he has been holding for a long time.

...

//One month later

"Na-Na-Na-Nani !!!" Menma's jaw hit the floor as he comically flew backwards hitting the wall behind him.

His perfect plan has failed. After checking the sword for hundredth time, Menma finally accepted the reality.

"How ! How did you find it ? Shodai Kitetsu was lost 800 years ago !" Menma found it impossible to believe.

"Oh, I knew this sword because I have fought the geezer, who had the sword.

By the way a piece of advice. Don't ever show this sword outside. Guard it like you guard the pluton. I the old man I am talking about is one of the highest ranking members of the world government. In short once the outside world find out about this sword then they will definitely come after this. Good luck with that !"

Menma understood it very clearly. His cunning plan has ultimately failed.

...

AN: this is just a side story that I wanted to write on the reaction of Menma, the Shogun of land of Wano.

I will write detailed chapter about how Maki stole the sword from V Nusjuro tomorrow.
