Wano Country is located on the main island of the Inland Sea and is divided into six regions. The capital city, known as the "Flower Capital," is the most prosperous place in Wano Country and the residence of its ruler, the "Shogun."
The remaining five regions are Kuri, Nozomi, Udon, Suzugo, and Hakumai, each ruled by a daimyo.
However, that was a long time ago. After Kaido occupied this place, the so-called Daimyo no longer existed. The forces led by Kaido occupied this place, turning Wano Country into a place ruled only by the 'Shogun', and also into a weapons-producing country.
Aside from weapons production, nothing else matters here. Excessive mining, numerous factories, and the spread of toxins have left the five regions either impoverished or plagued by toxins, making even the produced food inedible.
At this moment, on the main island of Wano Country, fireballs and huge black clouds filled the sky, making the main island gloomy, while within the territory, a large number of soul artifacts roamed everywhere.
The lantern grew a mouth and tiny legs, and hopped and skipped along.
Hairpins, combs, mirrors, and other objects also move about the area with strange postures.
Almost every street has one or two of these, and in the wild, there are even more. Trees, grass, and even a patch of land have all become spirits, singing, walking, and watching.
"Ma ma ma ma!"
A burst of loud laughter echoed from the tallest building in the Flower Capital.
Charlotte Linlin, dressed in an enormous kimono and adorned with gold hairpins, her hair styled like a geisha, sat in the main seat, holding a huge sake cup in one hand, her cheeks flushed with intoxication.
Her other hand was hooked on the shoulder of a giant of similar size. The giant had a pair of horned dragon-like horns, and his beard was as strong and long as a dragon's whiskers. He wore a black haori with red cloud patterns on his purple top.
Kaido!
“ruaruaruarua!”
Kaido, holding a wine cup, burst into loud laughter.
“Let’s celebrate the third day of our alliance!” Charlotte Linlin laughed.
"The third day!" Kaido shouted, swaying as if he were drunk.
"Let bygones be bygones, let's forge a proper alliance now!"
"Mmm, you're right! Let's form an alliance first and get Onepiece! And that yellow monkey... mmm, we actually got it!" Charlotte Linlin laughed loudly.
"Hey, Linlin, haven't you found Kizaru yet? Our plan will only proceed more smoothly if we leave one of the Navy's most important admirals here," Kaido said.
"He can't escape! My soul creations, your subordinates are all searching for him. As soon as there's any movement, we'll catch up with him. It's been two days already, and it won't be long before he's found!"
Charlotte Linlin, with her tongue lolling out, continued, "Speaking of which, why did you insist on coming to a place like Wano Country?"
"I have my reasons. After some time, once Yamato has figured it out, I will land Onigashima in the Flower Capital. That place will be the new capital of Wano Country!"
"Well, is the Poneglyph over there?" Charlotte Linlin glanced sideways and smiled mysteriously.
"It's too early to think about that, Linlin!" Kaido snapped, his voice deep. "Let's talk about it after we've obtained One Piece!"
"Well, well, well, fine. We'll settle this after we get Onepiece!" Charlotte Linlin laughed loudly.
Kaido raised his wine cup and took a big gulp. "You three-eyed tribesmen can't even read the Poneglyphs?"
"Well, well, well, I don't have time to wait for her. Compared to that, didn't you catch Straw Hat Luffy? Now we don't have time to deal with him. After we take down Kizaru, Straw Hat Luffy will be mine. I want to kill him with my own hands!" Charlotte Linlin's eyes were filled with malice.
"Hmm? No way! He has a good eye. I want to recruit him as a subordinate. I'll train him until he's ready." Kaido gulped down two more mouthfuls of sake and said, "Unless he's truly ungrateful, then I'll kill him!"
"I'll take care of it!"
"No, I'll do it!!"
The two men, who had been arm in arm just moments before, were now glaring at each other, causing their subordinates, who were pouring wine and preparing the banquet, to tremble with fear.
The atmosphere around them gradually became oppressive.
Charlotte Linlin hesitated for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Well, well, well, well! Forget it, let's postpone that for now. But if we catch Straw Hat Luffy, his crew might come—no, they might be right here. Anyway, Nico Robin has to live; we need her to decipher the Poneglyphs!"
The last island of the Grand Line and the 'Final Island' are two different concepts. The last island is recorded and has a name, and can be reached by slowly absorbing the magnetic force of the route using the Pose. However, the Final Island, the one Roger visited that has never been known to anyone, is not included in this category.
Their ultimate goal—Laugh Tale!
To reach Laugh Tale, you need to find four Road Poneglyphs among those Poneglyphs. The central island where the four Road Poneglyphs intersect is Laugh Tale!
Charlotte Linlin possesses one red Road Poneglyph and two normal ones, while Kaido has one red Road Poneglyph, making a total of two.
They will find the remaining two pieces gradually.
Back when Roger was still alive, he obtained a copy of the Poneglyph from Charlotte Linlin.
But unlike Roger, although they possessed the Poneglyphs, they couldn't understand them...
Or you don't even need to collect all four pieces. As long as you find two islands marked by the Poneglyphs, you can slowly search through their forces and eventually find the legendary Laugh Tale!
Kaido settled in Wano Country, originally hoping to understand this region through the people of Wano, but unfortunately, the Kozuki family wouldn't do that for him, and even disappeared a long time ago.
Charlotte Linlin was counting on her three-eyed daughter, but she hadn't awakened yet, and now she had given up hope.
Currently, the only person in the world who can definitively say they can understand the Poneglyphs is Nico Robin, the one who once lived on Ohara.
They want to know the Poneglyphs; Nico Robin must live!
"Speaking of which, your daughter..."
Charlotte Linlin clinked her wine cup against Kaido's and said, "How about a marriage alliance with my children? I have many excellent children, you know!"
"Stop joking!"
Kaido glared at him, "Your child isn't qualified! Even Katakuri isn't qualified. If it were before, I might have considered it, but now, it's completely insufficient! If we're talking about young people, in my eyes, there's only one qualified young person in the whole world!"
