[Location]{Land of Wano: Flower Capital}
A man could be seen walking down the palace of the shogun going toward a largely decorated door, two guards stood guarding the door and one of them opened the for letting the old man walk through.
'Ah, Kyoku-sama I have not seen you in a long time my old friend, Why have you come here all of a sudden?' He was a tall man with Black hair and a long pointy mustache, wearing expensive-looking robes he sat down on his throne looking towards the leader of the Ryujin clan.
They stared at each other for a few seconds before Kyoku spoke.
'You seem to be looking well sukiyaki-sama'
Said the old man now as he sighed
'I have come seeking assistance from the land of Wano'
'Oh and what seems to be the problem? I had thought since your clan has separated its ties from the land of Wano that you did not need anything from us?'
He said with a sarcastic tone as he looked back at Kyoku.
The old man snorted before saying
'It's not that, the Omikuji of the Clan has seen a terrible fate that will destroy the entire land of Shima no Ryu'
'Oh and what is it she saw?' asked Sukiyaki looking at the old man in front of him with narrowed eyes.
"Should I tell him about the fleet of pirate ships coming towards Wano from the east" Sukiyaki seemed to ponder before he decided not to, it was their problem that they separated from us.
As Sukiyaki wasn't as noble-hearted as his son Oden why should he care about a clan of deserters that cut its ties with his country.
Kyoku sighed and just stood up knowing it was pointless to speak with the shogun as he knew that he was never going to help them, so he just stood and started leaving the room.
But as he was leaving the castle he sensed something coming from a hallway on his left, he soon started walking down the dark unlit hallway as he found himself in a small room decorated with many gems and stones.
He soon spotted a bag filled with rocks and different types of minerals as he had sensed something coming from inside of it.
He walked closer he soon dug through the bag before pulling something out.
His eyes widened as he saw what he was holding, It was a dark and hard-looking mineral that was very heavy.
He soon pocketed the mineral as he left the room heading back as he left the castle as he thought about the situation
"that bafoon of a shogun is throwing such material in a dirty bag, how shameful I guess he won't be needing this anymore, not as if he knew the value of the metal"

{Shima no Ryu: Masamune Weapons shop}
The crackling of coal could be heard as a large broad chested wearing nothing but a leather apron and pair of shorts could be seen hammering on a piece of iron.
The man was non-other then Goro Nyudo Masamune, one of the last members of the Masamune family.
The man was a legend for being able to make meito swords, he has crafted 4 skillful grade swords and 2 great swords in his long life.
The man only had one regret in his life, and that was not being able to forge a supreme sword.
The man was 8'2 feet tall and had the build of a bodybuilder his face looked old he had a long beard that reached his waist and his eyes were shadowed by his thick eyebrows and a bald head that seemed to reflect the searing got metal that he was forging. (Just imagine Zues from records of Ragnarok in his muscular form)
The man was far past his prime he was nearing his 83rd birthday, but his skills in forging were unmatched as he hammered down the iron with such ferocity as he soon dunked it in a bucket of water
"Sigh, When is Kyoku-sama coming back from his trip, his order is almost ready..."
Soon he heard the sounds of his door opening as he looked back to see Minamoto one of the only living friends.
He turned back to his forge and placed took the blade out of the water and placed it on a nearby table as he went over to wash his hands
'What brings you over Minamoto-kun I haven't seen you in a few years has something happened to your blade?'
He raised an eyebrow as he looked at Minamoto trying to figure out why he had visited.
Minamoto just chuckled as he looked at his old friend as he said 'Oh can't I just visit an old friend?'
Masamune just snorted 'As if you'd visit for such a reason, What do you want' he seemed to stare at Minamoto with a critical eye
'you know me too well Goro-kun, yes I have come here to ask you to forge a blade' he said with a gentle smile as he stroked his long beard with one of his hands.
'Oh is the one I made you not good enough, it's considered to be a great-grade weapon, not any sword you can just hang on a wall like some decoration' He said as he raised his voice, as a vain seemed to pop on his forehead
He was known to have a short temper and was extremely prideful in his craftmenship, as he knew he was probably the best Swordsmith in the world
'Of course not Goro-kun,' he said as a bit of sweat could be seen forming on his forehead
'I'm here to ask you to forge a blade for my grandson' he said as Masamune poured tea into two cups and handed one to Minamoto.
'Oh? How old is your grandson I never knew you even had one' He said with a little bit of surprise as he sipped on his tea slowly.
'he is turning 4 in a little over 7 months' he said as he sipped on his tea
Masamune seemed to choke on his tea as he coughed a bit 'You expect me to craft a blade for a child?!' He seemed exasperated as he stared at Minamoto with a critical eye.
'No no, I am not stupid as to give a child a weapon at 4 years old' he said, I just need you to start crafting the blade, I want to surprise my cute little grandson with his first blade and I want it to be special.
Gushed Minamoto as he kept talking about his grandson.
'I can't make one now I have a large order of weapons for Kyoku-sama, he seemed to be in a hurry to acquire them, We can talk about it after he is back from Wano he seemed to be in a hurry to get there. Sighed Masamune as he finished his tea.
Minamoto then stood up 'It was nice catching up with you old, friend I hope to see you again soon
'Likewise' Said masamune as he stood and gave Minamoto a handshake.
Minamoto soon left.
'sigh, he's a handful I tell ya, but his grandson sure sounds interesting I hope he likes using a katana' he pondered before closing the door
