Rodney secured Wano Country’s Seastone mines through a deal with Shimotsuki Yasuie, offering protection under his flag and thirty percent of the profits in exchange for Wano’s labor and expertise. He left the Flower Capital with Robin, explaining that the contract would remain valid only while he had the strength to enforce it.
- Shimotsuki Yasuie accepted Rodney’s proposal to open Wano Country to trade and place it under Rodney’s protection, despite his worries about the changes it would bring.
- Rodney demanded the Seastone mines and offered Wano Country thirty percent of the profits, and Yasuie agreed to the terms.
- Rodney and Yasuie signed a contract giving Rodney the mines while Wano Country supplied the labor and craftsmen needed to mine and process Seastone.
- Rodney handed Robin the contract and explained that Yasuie had chosen cooperation over being forced to surrender the mines.
- As Rodney and Robin walked through the Flower Capital, he said Wano would likely honor the deal only as long as he remained alive and powerful.
