Shogun Dimon! The Sword Ban Edict Issued

After meeting the new Shogun, the four Daimyo were driven out of the Flower Capital.

"Damn pirates!"

On the outskirts of the Flower Capital, Amatsuki Tenpura angrily pounded a large tree by the roadside.

Shimotsuki Ushimaru shook his head, "Calm down. They need us to maintain order, so Lord Sukiyaki will be fine for now."

"What do we do next?" Fuzuki Miyabi frowned, "We have to find a way to rescue Lord Sukiyaki."

"This requires a plan!"

Shimotsuki Yasuie appeased the others, his expression resolute. "For now, we must obey orders and first try to figure out the backgrounds of those two pirates. We can consider the next step after that."

"That's the only way."

Flower Capital, Shogun's Mansion.

"I don't think they'll be that obedient. They might go back and start planning how to overthrow us and rescue Kozuki Sukiyaki."

Kaido, showing a rare moment of shrewdness.

"Don't worry, they can't do anything."

Just those samurai?

Dimon scoffed inwardly. It wasn't that he looked down on the people of Wano Country, but in the original story, if Luffy hadn't appeared, Wano Country wouldn't have been able to shake Kaido's rule even after a hundred years.

After all, this world runs on physics!

Dignity is only found at the tip of a sword, and truth only within cannon range!

If your fists aren't big enough, nothing else matters.

Seeing his confidence, Kaido didn't bother thinking about these issues. Instead, he curiously asked, "So, why did you specifically choose Wano Country? It's not for refuge, right? Is there anything special about this country?"

"Very special!"

At this, Dimon stood up and gestured to Kaido. "Come with me, let's go see Kozuki Sukiyaki."

Soon, the two arrived at a secret room and met Kozuki Sukiyaki, who was imprisoned there.

Having been locked up for several days, Kozuki Sukiyaki could do nothing but have meals delivered. He could only make some doll figures to pass the time.

Dimon made no comment on others' hobbies. Upon entering the secret room, he got straight to the point and asked, "Where is the Ancient Weapon, Pluton?"

Kozuki Sukiyaki, who was playing with a doll, trembled all over. He looked up at Dimon in disbelief.

Kaido was stunned. "Ancient Weapon?"

"I don't know, kill me!"

Kozuki Sukiyaki's face turned ashen, and he resolutely sought death.

"Do you think I won't be able to find it just because you don't tell me? It'll just take a little time."

"..."

Kozuki Sukiyaki fell silent, still refusing to say another word.

Dimon didn't waste any more time and immediately began to torture him, beating him severely.

Kozuki Sukiyaki was beaten black and blue, curled into a ball, clutching his head and crying out in pain, "It's useless even if I tell you. That's an Ancient Weapon. Only those who understand the ancient script know how to activate it!"

"And this script is something passed down through generations of our Kozuki clan. Even if you kill me, I won't tell you!"

Still a tough nut to crack.

A slight smile played on Dimon's lips. "I'm sorry, but I do understand a bit about ancient scripts."

He had devoured Kozuki Oden, and he possessed all the knowledge Kozuki Oden had.

"Impossible..."

Kozuki Sukiyaki shook his head repeatedly, completely disbelieving.

Dimon had no interest in arguing. Since he wouldn't talk no matter what, he would send people to find it.

He immediately took Kaido and left the secret room.

"Keep an eye on him. Just deliver meals morning and night."

"Yes, Lord Dimon."

The ones responsible for guarding him were the guards of the Kingdom of Cho, followers of the Demon.

If you like this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

These people were prepared to sacrifice their lives when they summoned the Demon, and they were utterly loyal to Dimon, a Demon himself.

After giving his instructions, Dimon turned and left.

Kaido followed, pressing, "Are you telling the truth? The Ancient Weapon Pluton is in this country?"

"Of course it's true. Afterward, we'll need to send people to find it. It's a super battleship that can destroy an island with a single shot."

Great ships and cannons, the romance of men!

Dimon eagerly anticipated the power of Pluton. If he had the chance, he really wanted to fire a shot at the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

It probably wouldn't kill the Five Elders, Imu, and the others who possessed Immortality, but the spectacle would be incredibly satisfying.

"This island is huge. Where should we start looking?" Kaido also really wanted Pluton, his interest piqued. "Dimon, we need subordinates! We should really form a pirate crew and recruit some people."

"I have a general idea of where it is. North of Flower Capital, there's a mountain called Fujisan. It should be hidden inside the mountain."

There's also a Road Poneglyph inside. We'll retrieve that at the same time.

Dimon pondered. Excavating the mountain would require a massive amount of manpower. The cattle and horses of Wano Country would be perfect for the job.

This country produced many samurai, and they could be used as laborers.

One week later.

The Shogun's mansion issued an imperial decree, announcing it to the world.

[The former Shogun, Kozuki Sukiyaki, has passed away after a long illness. Dimon will succeed him as Shogun, effective immediately.]

Dimon had originally intended to give Kaido the title of Shogun as well, but Kaido wasn't interested. He was still preoccupied with forming his own pirate crew.

Once the decree was issued, it quickly spread throughout the country.

News from other regions was a day slower, but Flower Capital received the information immediately.

Citizens on the streets looked at each other in bewilderment, wanting to ask:

Who is Dimon?

"Lord Sukiyaki is sick?"

"Impossible! I saw Lord Sukiyaki visiting the pleasure district just a while ago! I was there!"

"No, no, something must be wrong! Even if Lord Sukiyaki were to abdicate, wouldn't Kozuki Oden be the successor?"

"That brat even kidnapped my daughter before! Him becoming Shogun would be a nightmare!"

"I heard he's currently the Daimyo of Kuri. Maybe he's changed."

Most people reacted indifferently, treating it as just another spectacle.

As the ruled class, it didn't matter who the Shogun was.

However, a certain group was restless: the samurai class. A group of samurai loyal to the Kozuki family gathered in front of the Shogun's mansion, demanding an explanation.

During this time, no outsiders were allowed in or out of the Shogun's mansion. The people of Flower Capital had no idea what was happening inside.

At this moment.

In the dining hall.

Dimon, attended by a group of maids, was enjoying the daily life of a feudal noble.

Rock, the commander of the Knight Order, reported to him:

"Lord Dimon, a group of samurai has gathered outside, demanding to see Kozuki Sukiyaki."

"From now on, you'll handle minor matters. You were formerly the commander of the Kingdom of Cho's guard, so you should be able to manage this, right?"

Dimon had no interest in handling political affairs after becoming Shogun. He delegated all the work to old Rock.

"There are quite a few people gathered..." Rock said quietly. "At least several hundred samurai, and each of them is armed."

This was indeed a problem. Without enough subordinates, it was troublesome.

Dimon thought for a moment and then ordered, "Go find Kaido and ask him to suppress these samurai. Arrest them all and send them to dig in the mountains as laborers."

He paused, then added:

"Then, issue a new law: [Sword Ban Edict]. From now on, within Flower Capital, samurai are not allowed to carry swords! Anyone found privately hoarding weapons and armor will be tried for treason!"

Managing a country is not child's play.

It is child's play!

Dimon didn't care about Wano Country's fate. To him, it was just an amusement park.

"Go. If you handle this well, I will grant you Immortality!"
