Shanks, Buggy and I were left behind while the Roger Pirates went to Laughtale as they would soon call it.

Right now, I'm thinking about how I can avoid going to Wano Country as I would either die or get sent through time, neither I want. The solution to this problem is to convince my dad Oden to drop me off somewhere other than Wano Country.

So I need to find a relatively safe place, preferably in one of the 4 blues, where Oden would drop me off, and leave to Wano Country because I'm afraid I can't convince him not to go.

Of all the 4 blues, East Blue is by far the safest and weakest sea in the world right now. There is a multitude of reasons why it gets that rep.

One of the reasons is the average bounty in the East Blue is far below the other seas in the world. These are the respective average bounties for the 4 blues:

East Blue: 10 million

West Blue: 16 million

South Blue: 22 million

North Blue: 35 million

There is a pretty noticeable jump from what is called "The Weakest Blue" from what is called "The Strongest Blue". There are pretty good reasons why it is the weakest blue in terms of danger. The East Blue is the farthest from the Red Line.

All the big pirates are out in the other seas, getting closer to where all the big leagues are at, the Grand Line

Now that I have what sea I want to go to, I have to figure out which place I want to go to.

Where is a place in the East Blue, where Oden would leave me there. I have to have a way to train, since Oden wants me to keep training until I surpass him. I was thinking for a few more minutes but then it finally clicked.

The village where I could go to train is Shimotsuki Village. It a village with a dojo for swordsmen to train and its founders are descendants of The "Sword God Ryuma.

Oden would want to leave me in the care of the man who created his beloved sword, Enma. This is such a perfect plan, there is now way it could fail.

When the Roger Pirates came back after a few days, back from discovering Laughtale, I pitched the idea to Oden and he was a bit hesitant at first but after a little bit more convincing. he agreed

Roger announced to the crew that they will be disbanding the crew, and they would be dropping us off at any location we want

I told the shipwright destination, and he took me over there.

______________

As we made it to the village's docks, Oden came to say his goodbye.

" Goodbye Momonousuke, I knew you always wanted to go on the journey of your own but not this soon", He said crying while hugging me.

It's crazy how this might be the last time I'll see the man. Don't worry Oden, if you get killed by Kaidou and his goons, I'll avenge you.

I waved to the ship as they headed to their next location.

As I made it to the gate of the village, there were a bunch of people, some even holding swords. they probably saw the big ship on their docks and became scared.

After seeing it was a child, they eased up a bit but they were still asking questions.

They asked what my name was and I proudly responded.

"I am Kozuki Momonosuke", I proudly proclaimed.

All of those didn't know the importance of that name except one person.

A man with black hair tied back in a long ponytail, his' face is wrinkled and wears glasses with circular frames. the man always wore a gray yukata and he wore a beige haori over it stepped forward to me. He walked closer to me before declaring to his' man.

"This young man is no threat, disperse immediately. Young man, come with me!" he yelled ouy to his' man before talking to me.

I followed the man into the village and I saw that the village was beautiful. you couldn't find a single ounce of trash if your life depended on it.

We made it to a big house, probably the founder's house. We knocked on the door only to be answered by a very old man.

He let us walk inside and joined him in the living room. we then proceeded to talk.

"What are you doing here, son", the old man inquired.

"Father, I have some peculiar news about this boy", he replied

The old geezer raised his eyebrows at this before letting the man continue.

"This boy is from the clan you always told me about, the Kozuki clan", he finished.

The old man's eyes opened in shock, he could not believe someone from Wano Country like him, was here as well.

I guess that's the story of how I ended up in Shimotsuki Village.
