[strawbewwysamurai]

hello!! i saw your art for your OC if she were in the akazaya, and i love it. i really like when people have a bunch of AUs for a single OC. would you mind telling me more about this part of rory's story?? what happens to her after the execution, what's her role, and any ships??(PS i see that you also love... kyoshiro... what a guy right!!)

Oh my gosh yes, I love this peacock-looking fool and his big dumb grins-- 10ft tall and could kick my butt in 3000 different ways, but I would very much like to hug him because he needs it badly,,, I could talk about him a bunch, especially since I’m fully caught up manga wise,,

And OMG!!! Someone sending me an ask about Rory!!! You just made my whole week!!!!! :DDD

Oh man I think I altered Wano arc so much that it's only half recognizable so excuse my self indulgence if this isn't anything you were expecting-- But I ship her with the big himbo Oden himself in this au, so I had to do some dancing to make everything work! ^^ Oden also avoids execution, but I'll explain how as well!

----

Rory was an outsider who escaped from a Celestial Dragon's ship and found her way crashing into the shores of Wano! She met Oden in Kuri fairly early on into his reforming of it, and she practically broke his nose when he tried flirting with her because she was so panicked after everything she had been through, and his confident nature ^^; he thought it was hilarious and endearing, but she ran off before he could continue talking to her or find out why she was dressed so strangely, being from outside of Wano and all.

Later, Oden and the Akazaya learn about a girl causing trouble at the Flower Capital, so despite his not-yet-lifted banishment from there, they travel there to see what’s going on. Of course upon arriving he sees the same girl as before crashing into food carts and people as she tries to get away from guards trying to catch her for being an outsider to question her, especially because of the destruction she had caused.

The Akazaya were pretty unsuccessful in catching her themselves, to the point where she actually managed to bite Denjiro, much to his shock and hollering. They only managed to finally catch her when Oden decided to stop laughing and help, and they ended up taking her back to Kuri as Oden told the other guardsmen that she was with them and from there. Given Kuri’s prior reputation, they believed it easily and just wanted to get Oden back out of the capital. 

They let her go free after talking to her about how she had gotten there and after Oden had excitedly asked her about the world outside of Wano’s borders, and she ended up deciding to stick around. Over the course of a while, she ended up falling for Oden and him for her, and she trained to become one of his retainers and a part of the Akazaya. She saw all the others as her brothers and sister, and was very close to Kin’emon, and Denjiro after the two of them stopped being grumps towards each other. She was especially close with Denjiro.

Also in my au, Toki's a ninja who works with Shinobu and the Akazaya closely, because of the Amatsuki clan's ties with the Kozuki clan. Because of this, her son Momonosuke is later chosen as a successor to Oden because of just how close she is to both Rory and Oden and how much they cared for her children.

As for the execution, Toki was present and was able to time-jump Oden ahead before the finishing blow was given to him, shortly after the Akazaya had taken off towards the castle. Oden ends up in present time at the capital, and manages to go into hiding after he figures out what Toki had done. Knowing fully well how he had been overtaken before, and how powerful Orochi and Kaido could be now, he decided to actually think before he acts for once and remained hidden for a while. 

Of course, back in the past, Toki’s actions shocked everyone, thinking she had just teleported a half-dead man somewhere. It gave her a chance to take off and escape to Oden castle to warn Rory about what was happening. 

When they arrived there, Toki gives the Akazaya basically the speech she gives them in canon, before Kawamatsu leaves with Hiyori and she sends the others into time. 

Rory gets sent off with Kin'emon and Co. through time and travels with him throughout the canon arcs leading to Wano! Everyone spends the time believing both Toki and Oden perished two decades ago, because Toki never had a moment to explain that she had sent Oden off after the boiling. 

 Later on, Rory and Kin’emon become separated shortly after returning back to Wano after Zou, though, and she ends up getting caught by some of Kyoshiro's men and taken to him. Upon where he instantly recognizes her as the dork he used to call a little sister, and despite his hopes and Toki’s prophecy, is shocked and overjoyed to see her alive and okay. 

He takes her to a private room and reveals his identity to her, and they have a tearful reunion before she begins working as a geisha for him so he can keep her safe and close. She finds her way back to Kin’emon and the others though, explaining where she’s been and what she’s been doing, but keeps Denjiro’s secret up until he reveals himself on the way to the raid.

I'm still ironing out the timeline and how everything happens with Toki and the Whitebeard pirates to the Roger pirates misadventures, and how I’ll work the Onigashima Raid in this au, but this is everything I have so far in short~ Even if it's... not exactly short ^^; Thank you so so much for asking and reading though!! I don’t often get to ramble about Rory to others besides friends, and I love doing so a lot!!! Have a lovely week lovely!!! <333 

And I never mind further asks about things I’ve mentioned or any asks about my ocs just saying
