[He assumes Marco is asking them to each tell a separate story there. So why not go first.]
Shirahama Kenki-san was a pirate who raided Vietnam-san's coastline. Naturally, this was not welcomed, and a son of Lord Nguyen Hoang led a fleet of ten ships to battle the pirates. Ah, I believe Shirahama Kenki-san lost two ships, and fled. They mistook him as a foreigner and left it as that...
But 14 years later, Shirahama Kenki-san's ship crashed at a port there. I believe it was Thuan An... Ah, anyway, a local magistrate attempted to attack him and was killed. Shirahama Kenki-san was imprisoned, recognized as Japanese, and so my newly appointed shogun at the time was contacted.
... Our governments worked together on quite friendly terms from that point. Vietnam-san and I, I mean. As for the Opium Wars, they were much later, and I am sure Hong Kong-kun could tell far too much on them. [glances to him]
