Ragnar wasn't about to sit on the boat and wait for the armor to come to him. He needed to be proactive in some way, and he sat there for a moment until he came up with a good one. He had made some assumptions based on what he had heard about the culture, because it seemed similar in some ways to his own but he figured something out. Ragnar smiled at his stupid plan, one that was just stupid enough to work. Ragnar then began to walk into the city, though unlike Akuko, he stood out quite a bit being over a foot taller then most people here and significantly wider but that was slightly the point. Lets see who they sent after this large stranger in their area. That was when Ragnar spotted a small black fluff ball floating towards him, and Ragnar couldn't help but smile. Perfect! Finding Akuko normally would be basically impossible for Ragnar, but now with Miko he had a pretty decent shot. Ragnar went into an alley for a moment and waited for the dust ball to come over to him, Ragnar had remembered the long boat ride and pulled out a small piece of hard candy.
Miko instantly tried to take it from Ragnar, but Ragnar said the fluff a couple of questions. Where is Akuko. Can they bring Akuko here? And Tell Akuko this plan. Miko seemed to agree to this, giving Ragnar the requested information softly before Ragnar gave his plan back. The payment for services rendered changed hands and the fluff went floating off into the distance to go find Akuko.
If Akuko agreed to this plan, which boiled down to having her distract the guard that was most likely to show up to investigate Ragnar, at which point Ragnar would come out of the alley and handle it from there. Wasn't the smartest plan but also wasn't the worst. Eventually a man roughly Ragnar's height and build came walking down the street tall and proud as he went to go look for the person. This place was all about honor and pride, so of course the biggest guy was going to want to go fight the person that was just as tall and big as he was. If Akuko agreed to the plan, she would hopefully be distracting the guard at the mouth of the alley, with the man's back facing the alley.
Ragnar wasn't really paying attention to what Akuko was saying at this point, given that his full attention was on being quiet as he snuck up on the large samurai. Reaching up and with the force to shatter a building, Ragnar turned the man's head sideways and cracked his spine, severing his spinal cord and causing him to go limp and most likely die within minutes as his heart stopped pumping. Ragnar reached out and grabbed the man before he hit the ground and pulled him into the alley where he began taking off the armor and putting it on. This might take some of Akuko's help given that this armor is similar to Ragnar's own armor, well his old armor, but not the same in all ways.
