"Kozuki Oden?"
Shanks recalled the first time he met Oden, "The guy came up and used Roger's divine evasion move. We were all shocked..."
"I didn't expect that the Yama in Oden's hand was made by you. That famous sword is very strong."
"That's of course. I have the ultimate ambition for that sword and named it the King of Hell. The Wado Ichimonji, which was forged at the same time as Yama, is a somewhat peaceful sword."
When Kozaburo Shigetsuki talked about the sword he made, he looked proud.
"Hey, swordsman, tell us about the demon swords besides famous swords. I heard that demon swords have very ominous blades."
The pirates asked about swords other than famous swords.
The knives that are called demon swords have extremely ominous rumors, and pirates are very interested in them.
"Demon sword?"
Shigetsuki Kozaburo said disdainfully: "Listen up, pirates, there has never been a so-called demon sword in the world. They are just incompetent people who try to control weapons they cannot control, and are eventually eaten back by the weapons. That’s it!”
"Knives also choose their masters!"
The swordsmith gave an explanation for the demon sword.
"Let's talk about black knives. Although all knives can be black knives, good steel and scrap iron are two completely different starting points. The so-called knife maker is to create a higher starting point..."
The knife maker became more interested and started talking about the secrets of the knife.
The Black Sword is the pinnacle of swordsmen. Even Shanks' crew has never heard of the secrets of the Black Sword, and they don't know where the Black Sword came from, because Shanks never told them these things.
Shanks' crew members listened with rapt attention, even Uta.
The joy of adventure at sea is here, go to new islands, listen to wonderful stories, and marvel at those beautiful legends.
"Na na~"
Luffy's little mouth opened the sonar.
"Old man, please build me a famous sword. I hope the sword can cut out flames and thunder..."
"I've given up on it a long time ago. Besides, there's no good steel in Shuangyue Village... Isn't your request too outrageous?"
Shigetsuki Kozaburo made Luffy's request speechless.
"It seems you are still not qualified, old man." Luffy sighed.
This kid deserves a beating...
“This is delicious!”
The pirates ate oden while listening to the story, and soon became addicted to this Wano delicacy.
"Right? Hahaha..." Shigetsuki Kozaburo let out a hearty laugh. Anyone would be happy to hear foreigners praising their country's food.
The only drawback is that the bowls are too small.
"Your bowl is too small. Even if I were a child, I wouldn't use such a small bowl..."
Luffy looked at his bowl. It was a standard Wano small bowl that could only hold a little food.
Kuina and Zoro are used to it, because everyone is like this, so they think it is normal.
But when outsiders came, they felt uncomfortable with it.
What do you eat from a bowl stuck between your teeth?
"We all have bowls like this in Wano Country. It's normal that you outsiders are not used to it. Besides, we are a bit poor here, so the food is just like that." Shigetsuki Kozaburo said with a smile.
He also likes the pirate's style of eating meat, which is extremely satisfying.
It's just that after you settle down, you have to work hard on the land. If you want to eat a lot of meat, you don't have the capital.
"You can't become stronger if you don't eat a lot of meat. You are also powerful adults. You can still improve your life. You have to work harder."
Luffy held the small bowl, picked up a piece of meat with his head shaking, and took a bite.
After he went to sea, he ate meat with Shanks, and his body seemed to undergo a secondary growth, growing rapidly to the point where he was close to Uta. Of course, if you want to compare carefully, he is still shorter than Uta.
But he is taller than both Kuina and Zoro.
Guina is already eleven years old, and she is still 1.5 meters tall.
As for Zoro, he is a little shorter than Kuina, but this guy has jumped up a bit in the plot, from 178 to 181.
Kuina and Zoro listened attentively about becoming stronger.
"I put it lightly, you don't understand the many difficulties adults have."
Shigetsuki Kozaburo snorted, not interested in Luffy's light preaching. After all, he was still a child.
"Wealth will attract pirates, revealing the secret of sword forging will attract the navy and pirates, exposing the identity of a samurai will also attract the navy."
"What I want now is peace. I still want to die peacefully like this."
Shigetsuki Kozaburo scratched Luffy's head and messed up his hair.
"It's so uncomfortable to be stuck here, not being able to go up or down..." Jesus nodded with understanding.
He is also a man from the village. For ordinary people, being rich will bring disaster, and being mediocre will also bring disaster. They have to pay taxes to the higher authorities. Everyone has their own difficulties.
"Uta, you see, it's not easy to be an adult. It's better not to grow up if you look forward and backward, right?" Luffy asked the girl next to him again.
"Luffy, stop talking nonsense, we will grow up." Uta picked up a white radish and stuffed it into Luffy's mouth.
"Hmph, I don't want to be such an adult even when I grow up. I want to become stronger just for a better life!"
He looked at the old man who longed for the ordinary. The high-spiritedness of his youth was long gone.
If the other party is still a pirate, he will definitely live a free and easy life, but the other party just wants to stay in this village and live a happy and peaceful life. Even if he has considerable power, he will be pulled by the rules of gravity of reality. Falling from the clouds.
It shouldn't have ended like this.
Luffy said to himself.
"The only thing that can be taught is swordsmanship." Kozaburo Shigetsuki said regretfully.
Swordsmanship can intimidate pirates, so that they will be too lazy to come to such an island where they can protect themselves. They will think that it is a difficult bone to crack, and they will break their teeth if they have no money.
But forging swords is different. Once the reputation of forging famous swords spreads, countless pirates and swordsmen will come to this island to seek swords.
No one can resist the temptation of famous swords.
That is a famous craftsman who can produce the twenty-one skills of the Great Knife. Its value is almost the same as the devil fruit, or even higher.
Luffy was also very moved and didn't understand the value of Yama.
Oden was blowing this sword, Kaido was blowing this sword, and Zoro was blowing this sword.
Luffy also wants his own sword, because it is really handsome. Looking at the practical value, fists in the pirate world are really average, and a knife is needed to break through defenses.
You are the only one with thick skin and thick flesh and a high health bar, right?
Just go up with a knife.
Because of this knife, Whitebeard was useless, and so was Garp.
This achievement cannot go to heaven.
"Is the skill of knife forging not being passed down like this? It's a pity, the old man comes from a family of knife forging, isn't he?"
Luffy asked as he ate.
Shigetsuki Koushiro turned his head and looked at his father.
"There's nothing we can do about it."
The old man just said regretfully.
