Chapter 246: 246. Road Poneglyph
Out of nowhere two ninjas appeared and slashed at Alexander's neck with their swords. But their swords broke down in two.
There were a lot of people present and everyone looked at the scene in shock. Alexander was still standing without a single scratch.
The whole castle went into an uproar. Someone ran and rang the attack bell 10 times, signifying an attempt on Shogun's life.
Alexander facepalmed himself, "It seems I was too straightforward this time."
7 people appeared in front of Shogun, Kozuki Sukiyaki.
"Who are you, an assassin from Kurozumi?" Shogun questioned.
Before Alexander could speak, two Samurais came and kowtowed in front of him. "Alexander Kamisama... What can we do for you?"
Alexander again facepalmed himself, the two were guards from the gate and his compulsion charm made them see him as a god.
~Should I reverse the time again?~ he thought.
He then quickly stopped himself from doing it, reversing time again and again could become addictive. It wasn't even required right now.
"Kamisama? Hahaha... Who are you that calls himself Kamisama?" Shogun questioned.
"This is a misunderstanding, Shogun Kozuki Sukiyaki," Alexander said and took down his disguise magic.
He saw the Shogun twitch. Alexander understood that he knew about his Admiral status. Maybe the normal populace was ignorant about the outer world but the ruler couldn't do that.
The atmosphere in the room turned even tenser.
"What is a Marine Admiral doing in Wano? Did the world government forget we don't welcome you all?" Shogun mockingly asked.
*Sigh*
"My full name is Alexander Maxim D Universe. I found a road poneglyph. I need it deciphered. Just so you know, I am not doing this for Marines or the World Government. I want to know the true history of the Void Century. That is why I am doing all this. I want no qualms with Wano. I respect your sovereignty." Alexander told the middle-aged man.
His mention of Poneglyphs brought some murmurs in the hall.
"Are you a Devil Fruit user? We usually call them sorcerers as we don't have many people who have eaten it." Shogun asked out of curiosity.
"Yes and No. I did eat a devil fruit but it doesn't make me strong. My body is this strong from training and nothing else." He told them.
"Okay, If you can defeat Ashura of Nine Red Scabbards, I will grant you a personal audience with me." Shogun offered.
Alexander smirked, "Which of them is Ashura?"
The biggest of them, a fat pink-haired man walked forward. "It's me, hah. Scared now, Marine's dog?"
"That will be two for you, big guy." Alexander nonchalantly said.
"What two?" Ashura asked.
"Two teeth of yours for calling me that," Alexander answered with a smirk.
Ashura got angry and dashed at Alexander. To everyone's surprise, Alexander didn't move. Then at the final moment when Ashura's sword was about to touch him, Alexander disappeared and appeared near his face.
*BAM*
Alexander's fist connected with the mouth of the big guy.
Ashura got thrown away with two of his teeth bouncing on the floor.
"So, let's have that personal audience with you, Shogun," Alexander remarked as he stretched his shoulder.
*Clap Clap Clap*
Shogun started to clap for some reason, "That was wonderful, Admiral Universe. You really are worthy of all the praises I read in the newspaper."
Then he looked at all his retainers, "What are you all looking at? Leave now. I need to have a chat with this man. Go"
The nine red Scabbards looked at him, "Shogun-sama. This can be dangerous."
"This is an order. Now leave us," he sternly ordered them. As soon as only the two of them were left, Shogun sat down on his cushion and poured some sake for himself.
"Ah, thank you for coming here, Admiral? Take a seat. It's been so long since I talked to an outsider." He invited.
Alexander was confused with the sudden change of attitude from being an uptight Shogun to a tired man. He went ahead and sat in front of him.
"Haha... You must be wondering, why these changes? Well, I need to keep my image. Anyways, quickly show me that Poneglyph's print. Since my childhood, I have been hearing about these but never got to see more than one of them because of the isolation policy. Only the makers of these know what's written on them and the next generation only knew how to read, write the language and make the Poneglyphs." Shogun Kozuki explained.
Alexander took out the paper and showed it to him. Shogun quickly started reading it with enthusiasm.
"Ah, so this is one of those famous Road Poneglyphs too. I've heard collecting all four will take you to the last Island of Grand Line. Where you will find the true Poneglyph." Shogun blurted.
Alexander silently noted the extra info. Now his doubt had turned to surety. There truly was something about the Void Century at the last Island.
"This Poneglyph seems to be pointing to a location. Ummm... Here you go, this is the translation and we also have a road poneglyph here, this is where it points to." The Shogun handed him a piece of paper.
Alexander made Ghost record it all and make a script to decipher the poneglyphs in the future. He also made Ghost pinpoint the coordinates the Poneglyphs were talking about. Then he told all his free Seraphs to fly around that location and search for the least island in thousands of kilometer radius. The last Island should be there.
After a while, the Shogun was finished, he folded the paper and gave it back to Alexander.
"Admiral Universe. Thank you for granting me this chance to see this amazing thing. This was a life long wish of mine. Maybe because of this, my son Oden left the island. Just like me, he was curious." Shogun sighed.
"How did your son leave? I can keep an eye on him to make sure he's safe." Alexander offered.
"Ah, I nearly forgot you are a Marine Admiral. My son left with a pirate named Whitebeard. Please, if you see him, tell him to return. We need him here." He requested.
Alexander patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, boy. I will tell him that. Now, I have a proposition."
Alexander told him about his plan of setting up a shop. The Shogun was not very pleased at the beginning but when he heard that there will be no need to physically bring in and out shipments, he got interested.
"We can make it look like just any other shop. But here you will be able to find anything to buy. From all around the world. You can simply say that it's a shop opened by me as a gift for our friendship. I'm sure many people will be happy when they will hear you made a new powerful ally. This is a good option to stay as a closed country while still having trade with the outside world," Alexander suggested.
"That is certainly a good offer. It will shut down all the Daimyos. Okay, let's do this, but will you be able to buy all the stuff we make? We make a lot after all. From clothes to liquor and hats to swords." Shogun asked.
"Hahaha... Don't worry about that my friend. I will deal with that. You just worry about not spending all the money on the good stuff I will bring." Alexander mocked.
"Huh... I am a Samurai, I have self-control." Shogun sternly said.
Alexander popped open a bottle of Firewhiskey. The aroma reached Shogun's nose.
"W-what is this heavenly fragrance?"
Alexander poured him a cup. He drank it and fell down with a satisfying face. "T-This is the drink of gods. How refreshing. If this is what you will sell then I'm afraid my Samurai training won't be able to help."
Alexander laughed loudly. Then suddenly he heard a loud cat's cry.
*Meooowwwww*
Alexander noticed a fat cat with a huge grin and hat on the head coming running towards him. Or the Firewhiskey bottle to be more precise.
It quickly took the bottle from the Shogun and started to drink it like no tomorrow. Alexander looked at the Shogun for an explanation.
Shogun laughed wryly. "haha... That is the Cat Elder, called Hats. It fell from the sky on the castle some weeks ago and blessed us with solving some of our problems."
