Sailing: This Bounce-Bounce Fruit is a little different.

"300 already said they don't want your money!"

Seeing that Zoro chose [Snow Walk], the shopkeeper, Benmatsu, seemed satisfied and said, "Of course, you don't have to pay for [Oni Tetsu] either. It's been a long time since I've seen such a breathtaking sight..."

"Just based on the fearless look in your eyes when you reached out to take the knife, I would gladly give you these two swords!"

"However, the [Onikiri] is a cursed sword after all. Good luck!"

Having said that, he prepared to pick up the Totsuka Sword from the counter and return to the house to put it away.

Snapped!

"Why are you in such a hurry, boss..."

With his left hand resting on the snow-white scabbard of the Totsuka Sword, Huang Hai smiled slightly and said, "I've taken a liking to this sword. I wonder if you could sell it to me?"

Ok?

Upon hearing this, the boss, Ben Song, was taken aback.

"You want to buy the Totsuka Blade? Are you sure you don't want to think about it seriously?"

"Because of this exaggerated curve, it hasn't sold yet, or rather, no swordsman is used to using this sword..."

"Furthermore, you already possess the straight-bladed greatsword [Ten-un-ryu], this sword doesn't quite suit you..."

"That's not necessarily true..."

Huang Hai, who usually appears with his eyes half-closed when not in combat, slowly opened his eyes, his sharp, imposing dark pupils staring at his boss, Ben Song.

"...No matter how strange the knife is, I can handle it!"

These...these eyes...

As if frozen in place by a sense of oppression, Boss Bensong stared blankly for a while before looking at Huang Hai in horror.

No wonder... no wonder the other party possesses the [Heavenly Cloud Flow]!

That sharp gaze is already so piercing!

Just like that monstrous young man from over a decade ago...

That guy is number one in the world now...

Gudong!

Swallowing hard, as if recalling something, Boss Bensong pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and resolutely pushed the [Ten-Fist Sword] in front of Huang Hai, saying in a deep voice:

"We've already given away two swords! What's wrong with giving away one more?!"

"Just by looking at your eyes, I can imagine what kind of swordsman you must be. As the saying goes, a famous sword deserves a wise master. I believe you won't let it go to waste!"

"Great job, boss!"

Giving a thumbs-up, Huang Hai smiled slightly and accepted the [Ten-Fist Sword] without hesitation. He drew the sword, glanced at the swastika on it with its ice-crystal-like cracks, and then sheathed it with satisfaction.

"Zoro..."

"understand!"

Under Benmatsu's surprised gaze, Zoro placed the package he was carrying on the counter.

"This is?"

"Millions of Pele!"

With the Totsuka Sword at his waist, Huang Hai picked up the Ten-Cloud Flow Sword, turned around, waved his hand, narrowed his eyes to conceal his sharp double pupils, and said with a smile, "We haven't counted the exact number, but it's still a few million Berries..."

"If you can be so generous, boss, we can't be stingy either..."

"I only brought this little bit of money with me this time. If it's not enough, we'll come back and give you more when we get back from the Grand Line..."

Before the words were even finished, the figure had already walked out of the weapon shop, and Zoro followed behind and disappeared as well.

Meanwhile, Tashigi, who had been staring in disbelief, held [Shigure] and thought for a moment before bowing slightly to the boss and quickly chasing after him.

"..."

Staring blankly at the packages on the counter, the owner, Ben Song, couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.

I never expected that even though I was prepared not to make any money, the final result would be so unexpected.

Outside the weapons shop.

on the street.

"Please wait a moment..."

despair!

Stopping in their tracks, Huang Hai exchanged a glance with Zoro, then turned to Tashigi, who was catching up and panting, and teased her slightly, "What's wrong? Have you taken a liking to our Zoro? If so, I'll go buy him a Den Den Mushi so you can exchange contact information?"

"Hey!"

A black line appeared on Zoro's forehead.

"That's a bit much..."

"No...that's not the case!"

Upon hearing this, Tashigi quickly waved her hand, blushing slightly with embarrassment, and said, "What I came to say is, please take good care of these famous swords!"

"As the swordsman wielding [Shigure], I will continue to hone my skills! One day..."

"I will take back all the famous swords that have fallen into the hands of villains around the world!"

"So this is ah…"

His smile faded, and Huang Hai said with a faint smile, "Then do you think we look like villains?"

"Besides, if you take it back, how are you any different from a so-called villain?"

Hey?

what……

"No, you've misunderstood!"

Tashigi quickly waved her hand and nervously explained, "I didn't say you were villains, nor did I want to possess those famous swords..."

"I just don't want them to fall into the hands of evildoers and be used to commit atrocities and slaughter innocent civilians!"

"Actually! What I came here to say is, please, those of you who possess so many famous swords, do not become villains, or I will take these famous swords back sooner or later!!"

After shouting this, Tashigi, whose head seemed to be steaming hot, covered her face and ran away amidst the astonished gazes of passersby...

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

"She's quite an interesting girl. It would be really fun to invite her aboard the ship..."

After laughing for a while, clutching his stomach, Huang Hai patted Zoro's shoulder, who looked speechless.

"What are you thinking about? Are you sure you don't want to ask her for her contact information?"

"This joke isn't funny at all..."

Rolling his eyes, Zoro turned and walked away.

"I was just wondering... what kind of expression would she have if she knew we were vicious pirates?"

"It must be gritted teeth..."

Following lazily behind, Huang Hai said with a smile, "After all, we are pirates hated by the world. Besides, as a member of the Navy, catching pirates is her job."

"She's in the navy?"

"Didn't you see the way she walked and ran?"

"Uh... I didn't notice..."

"A navy officer who can wield a famous sword is no small fry..."

"Forget it, we won't run into her again. We've spent all our money. Should we go back to the ship?"

"Let's go see the place where Roger was executed..."

A strange light flashed in Huang Hai's eyes.

"As the beginning of the Age of Exploration, we have to see it..."

……

Rogue Town.

　0.9 Naval Branch Base.

office.

Smoke filled the air.

"Hey! Has Tashigi not come back yet?"

Inside the room, Smoker, sitting on the sofa, looking up at the ceiling with several cigars dangling from his mouth and exhaling smoke, asked with a slightly impatient expression.

"Yes, sir!" The navy officer standing by quickly responded, "Sergeant Tashigi said she went to the weapons shop to get a knife, it will take her a little while..."

"Huh? It takes hours to get a knife?"

With a cigar dangling from his lips, Smoker seemed impatient.
