["...come check out this side, then go find a weapon shop~"]
["Check out this side???"]
[Buggy points to the ladies' lingerie store beside the road, looking at Zoro in shock....]
["...Hahaha!! He's actually just lost!"]
[Luffy laughs heartily, mercilessly exposing Zoro's true situation~~~]
[Zoro instantly shows a Fishman Hordy Jones expression: "Grr! Bastard!! Don't say it like that!!!"]
[With Luffy and Buggy leading the way, Zoro successfully enters Loguetown's most famous weapon shop. The owner is Ippon-Matsu....]
[...]
[Among Zoro's current three swords, Wado Ichimonji belongs to the Great Grade Swords, one of the 21 O Wazamono grade swords. It also holds extraordinary significance for Zoro!]
[The other two swords are just ordinary standard-issue swords~~~]
[Coming to the weapon shop isn't necessarily to buy a sword, but just to look around. If there's a good sword, he can replace the two ordinary ones.]
["Boss... are there any good swords in the shop?"]
[Zoro comes to the counter and asks.]
[Luffy also walks over, directly slapping his money pouch: "Want the best sword! Money is no object~~~"]
[The boss, Ippon-Matsu, hears this, his face instantly beaming: "Haha!! Little brothers, you're really lucky!! Last month I just received a famed sword, I'll bring it out for you right now!"]
[Duang!!!]
[A sword stand covered by brocade is placed on the counter. The boss dramatically whips off the cover, grandly announcing: "One of the 50 Ryo Wazamono Grade Swords, Yubashiri!!!"]
[Zoro picks up the Yubashiri, observes it carefully, then runs his hand along the blade, as if choosing a concubine, extremely serious~~~]
[After a moment, Zoro suddenly nods: "Indeed a good sword! Boss, how much?"]
["Hehehe! To be honest with you little brothers, obtaining this sword was quite difficult!"]
["Back then, to buy this sword, my wife and I argued for three days and three nights!!"]
["Actually... you can probably tell, I myself am very passionate about swords! I was planning to keep this sword for my own collection!!! But this green-haired little brother has excellent taste, I see he has quite the affinity with this sword~~"]
["How about this!! Since meeting is fate... I won't make money off you, I'll transfer it to this little brother at the cost price I acquired it for, 1.5 million Beri!"] (What money?)
[Nami: "This treacherous merchant!!! Clearly, two or three years later, he only sells this sword for 1 million Beri! Yet he dares to ask 1.5 million from Zoro over there!!!"]
[Tony Tony Chopper: "Yeah! Treacherous merchants are truly hateful!!"]
[Scratchmen Apoo: "Red Luffy over there said money was no object right from the start, it'd be weird if the shop owner didn't rip him off~~~ Ah hahahaha...!!!"]
[Boa Hancock: "Indeed, who buys things like that? Isn't that just asking to be ripped off? I thought Red Luffy over there was exceptionally gifted, didn't expect him to be clueless about bargaining~~"]
[Vinsmoke Sanji: "Just praised him for always thinking about earning money, didn't expect him to get ripped off for 500,000 Beri right away! I take back what I just said..."]
["1.5 million!!!!!"]
[Luffy jumps straight up, his expression extremely exaggerated!!!!!]
[He points his finger at the shop owner: "You... you you you..... are really too greedy!!!"]
[The shop owner Ippon-Matsu's heart skips a beat!]
[No way... this little brother doesn't look very old, could he also have researched the prices in the sword business???]
[He eyes Luffy suspiciously, unable to figure it out~~~]
[No... is this kid trying to bluff me??? ]
[However, at this moment, Luffy walks up to Zoro's side, pats the Wado Ichimonji hanging at Zoro's waist: "See this? Recognize it?"]
["Wh...!!! Wait!!! Could this be..."]
[Following Luffy's hand, the shop owner Ippon-Matsu instantly sucks in a cold breath, quickly searching his mind for information on this sword, exclaiming: "Wado Ichimonji!!!"]
["Ha! So you recognize good stuff!!"]
[Luffy crosses his arms, looking very smug, "See that? We're not some country bumpkins who haven't seen famed swords! This Yubashiri of yours is worth 500,000 Beri at most!!"]
[Gol D. Roger: "Hahaha!!! This kid... really knows how to bargain!!!"]
[Shiki: "He's just randomly chopping the price... Tch, Ryo Wazamono grade, even in a place like East Blue, can't be taken away for just 500,000 Beri~"]
[Portgas D. Ace: "This kid... is quite clever! Comes in saying money's no object, tempting the shop owner to bring out the best sword immediately. But the shop owner never dreamed this kid would be so stingy, hahaha!!!"]
[Boa Hancock: "Uh... thought Luffy over there was a simpleton... didn't expect I was the simpleton??"]
[Vinsmoke Sanji: "Still got me... sweat..."]
[Franky: "Will the shop owner get angry and refuse to sell?"]
[Trafalgar Law: "Haha! Possible~~~"]
["Nani!!!"]
[This time, it's the weapon shop owner Ippon-Matsu's turn to jump up!!!]
["What kind of joke is this!!! This is a Ryo Wazamono Grade Sword! Although it can't compare to that Wado Ichimonji of yours, it's not the kind of goods you can buy for just 500,000 Beri!!!"]
["Well... you have a point... How about... I add another 50,000 Beri?"]
["Not selling!!! Less than 1.4 million Beri, no deal!!!"]
["Then forget it! We're buying the sword sincerely, Boss, are you treating us like fat sheep! You should just wait for the next fat sheep..."]
["Damn it!! Kid!! You're not sincere about buying either!"]
["I already said, I am sincere! Money is no object!"] [Luffy pats his money pouch, unintentionally revealing a thick wad of Beri inside, dazzling the weapon shop owner's eyes~]
[Damn! You have money and still won't let me rip you off!!! Is there any justice left!!!]
[Seeing Luffy's scoundrel-like appearance, the weapon shop owner grits his teeth in frustration~]
[Subsequently, the two haggle back and forth~~~]
[The final price bottom lines for both sides are held at 800,000 Beri and 900,000 Beri respectively....]
[Neither is willing to budge another hair...]
["How about this, we've both been chopping prices for half a day... I'll take two swords from that barrel over there, count it all together as 600,000 Beri? How does that sound?"]
["1 million Beri!"]
["Zoro, Buggy, let's go!"]
["Hey hey hey...! Fine! 950,000 then 950,000! I really give up on you, little brother! Okay, consider it making a friend, I'll sell it at a loss!"]
[Seeing that Luffy is really about to drag the others away, the weapon shop owner finally caves~]
[Money paid, Zoro gets the Yubashiri, Luffy also picks out two swords.] 600
[These two swords are for himself, after all, he's considered a two-sword style swordsman now~]
[However, swords aren't his main attack method anyway, so just grabbing two casually to make do is fine.]
[Nami: "950,000 for Yubashiri plus two swords, Luffy over there really knows how to live frugally~"]
[Shiki: "He actually managed to haggle it down~!"]
[Usopp: "They got ripped off! Zoro's Yubashiri over here was a gift from the old man, and he even got a cursed sword too!"]
[Roronoa Zoro: "Why did Zoro over there take Yubashiri? Couldn't he sense the peculiarity of that cursed sword?"]
[Shanks: "Maybe at this point in time, the cursed sword isn't in that weapon shop yet..."]
[Nico Robin: "That's possible."]
[Just as the three are preparing to leave, Tashigi walks in holding Shigure: "Boss, I'd like to maintain my sword."]
["Okay~"]
[The weapon shop owner takes Shigure from Tashigi's hands with a beaming smile.]
[She seems to have visited several times already, considered an old customer~]
["Huh?"]
[Tashigi casually glances at the sword, suddenly noticing the sword in Zoro's hand.]
[Then she sees the Wado Ichimonji hanging at Zoro's waist, her pupils instantly constricting!]
["Both of these swords are famed swords...!!!"]
[Tashigi rushes in front of Zoro in one step, reaching out to grab the swords.]
[If the other party had only reached for Yubashiri, Zoro might have let her take it. After all, this girl looks strikingly similar to Kuina.]
[But the other party actually tried to grab his Wado Ichimonji at the same time! Zoro instantly steps aside: "What are you doing?"]
["Ah! Sorry! I just wanted to take a closer look to see if this sword is Wado Ichimonji."] [Tashigi pushes up her glasses, apologizing.]
["It is Wado Ichimonji, but what does that have to do with you?"]
[Zoro initially had a decent first impression of Tashigi, but her action of directly trying to grab Wado Ichimonji instantly lowered his favorability towards her drastically...]
[Tashigi shakes her head: "Nothing to do with me. Looks like you're quite skilled with swords, using four swords, one more than a certain three-sword style bounty hunter."]
["Uh....." Zoro is speechless~]
[Looking at Zoro's expression, Tashigi continues: "Don't you know? That Roronoa Zoro! His name is known throughout East Blue, but he's just scum."]
[As if muttering to herself, Tashigi says.]
["That guy (bccj) actually uses swords as tools to make money, truly unforgivable!!"]
["Why do somewhat famous swordsmen of this era either become pirates or bounty hunters..."]
["Many of the world's famed swords are in their hands..."]
["I can feel it..... those famed swords are weeping!"]
[Hearing this, Zoro remains unmoved~]
[Luffy, however, frowns!!!]
[He walks over, pulling Zoro away.]
["What's wrong???"] [Zoro is a bit puzzled.]
[Luffy gestures towards Tashigi with his chin: "Stay away from her, be careful not to get infected..."]
[Shiki: "Shishishishishi!!!"]
[Marshall D. Teach: "Zehahahaha!! Be careful not to get infected... Hahaha!!!"]
[Edward Newgate: "Gu ra ra ra... this kid always says surprising things, really makes one laugh to death~~"]
[Tashigi: "Damn it!!! Bastard Straw Hat Luffy!! What gives you the right to say that about me!"]
[Monkey D. Luffy: "Ah~~ It wasn't me. Look for the me over there..."]
[Sengoku: "This kid's words are a bit harsh, but just this sentence, I agree with him."]
[Dracule Mihawk: "Indeed agree."]
[Tashigi: "Ah..."]
[Hearing what Luffy said, Tashigi instantly looks furious~]
["Hey!! You..... what did you just say!?"]
[As a Marine Master Chief Petty Officer, Tashigi has some prestige in this town!!]
[Not to mention disrespecting her, at least the locals of Loguetown speak to her politely~]
[Now suddenly a straw-hatted country bumpkin pops up and mocks her!]
[How could she endure this!?]
[Although Luffy's sentence was a bit inexplicable, Tashigi wasn't stupid, she naturally heard that it was aimed at her~]
[Luffy looks innocent, answering seriously: "Ah~ I was telling Zoro to stay away from you, lest your kind of nonsense theory infects Zoro!"]
["Who are you calling nonsense theory!!"]
[As if suffering a huge injustice, Tashigi takes a step forward, her pretty face flushed with anger!!]
["Hey~~ Whose hands the famed swords of this world are in seems to have nothing to do with you, right? What are you meddling for???"]
["Then the swords are in others' hands, yet you say you feel them weeping... Big sister, are you suffering from severe delusions??!"]
["Ah!!"] [Tashigi freezes~]
[The other party not only mocked her but also called her big sister...]
[This is simply abominable!!!]
[If it were any other woman, they might have started fighting directly~]
[But Tashigi, though clumsy, still likes to reason!]
[Her chest heaves with anger, she questions loudly: "What gives you the right to say that! You're not those swords, how do you know they aren't weeping??"]
[Luffy laughs haha: "Then you're not those swords either, how do you know they are weeping?"]
[Tashigi says assertively: "I just know!"]
[Luffy shrugs~~~]
[Not knowing what else to say, he waves to Zoro and Buggy: "Let's go, this person is crazy~"]
["Ah!! ——"]
[Tashigi is stunned~~~]
[She stands there stunned for half a day, only then remembering to get angry....]
[Seeing the three have already walked out of the weapon shop door, Tashigi immediately chases after them, shouting at their backs: "Don't you run! As the keeper of Shigure, sooner or later, I will retrieve all the famed swords in this world that have fallen into the hands of villains!!"]
[Luffy stops, turns his head to look at Tashigi: "Aren't you thinking too highly of yourself?? In this world... who is a villain, who is righteous, the standard of judgment is different in everyone's heart!"]
["You really disgust me!"]
["You possess a famed sword like Shigure, yet you keep coveting the famed swords in others' hands. Ask your heart, are you worthy of your Shigure like this?"]
[Luffy's hand suddenly stretches out, reaching straight into the weapon shop, directly snatching Shigure from the shop owner's hand.]
[He looks at Tashigi: "From now on, this sword is mine!"]
["Give it back!!"]
[Seeing Shigure snatched away by Luffy, Tashigi immediately draws her sword and charges towards Luffy!]
[Humph~~]
[Conqueror's Haki is released precisely, hitting Tashigi with a Conqueror's Haki single-target combo...]
[Of course... Luffy didn't knock her out directly, but just stunned her until she was limp and powerless~~~~~]
["No... don't...."]
[Watching Shigure being snatched away, Tashigi cries out painfully, "Give... Give back... my Shigure...."]
[Luffy strokes Shigure's blade, saying lightly: "Me... I can feel this sword weeping...."]
Hahahaha!!!
As soon as Luffy said this, the entire chat room exploded with laughter~~~
[Vista: "Hahaha!! Well said!! Let this laughable female Marine feel her own ridiculous theory for once~"]
[Shiki: "Damn it!! This Red Luffy is really something!!!"]
[Dracule Mi...]
[Mihawk: "This method... is indeed quite unique..."]
[Roronoa Zoro: "To convince someone, this should be the most effective method, right?"]
["Ah!! ——?"]
[Hearing Luffy use her own theory back at her, Tashigi was completely dumbfounded.]
[...]
[She questioned aggrievedly: "You... what gives you the right to say it's weeping!"]
[Luffy's mouth quirks up, mimicking Tashigi's previous demeanor, puffing out his chest and saying assertively: "I just know!"]
Ugh...!!!
Stumped~~~
The entire chat room instantly erupts in laughter, as if countless ducks were quacking simultaneously in the chat room.
[Nami: "Ahahaha!!! Red Luffy imitating someone acting spoiled is so funny~~ Luffy, when you have time, do it for us too!"]
[Tony Tony Chopper: "Want to see..."]
[Nico Robin: "Never thought... Luffy acting spoiled could be this cute..."]
[Franky: "This one definitely needs Luffy to imitate for us~~ Super~~~"]
super
[Usopp: "Imitate! Definitely imitate! Super~~~"]
[Brook: "Yoho~ Super~~~,"]
["-------"]
[Tashigi instantly understood...]
[...]
[She knew Luffy was intentionally messing with her~~~]
[Looking at Luffy's "shameless" appearance, Tashigi knew she wouldn't get her sword back. She choked out: "What good does this do you..."]
["No good!"]
["Ah...?"]
[Luffy says lightly: "Didn't I say? I simply dislike you! And I feel it's not worth it for this Shigure!!!"]
["A swordsman like you, if Shigure is in your hands, in the future... it can only ever be Shigure!"]
["But if it's in my hands, in the future... I will make it rank among the Supreme Grade Swords!! ——"]
[Ah!! ——]
[Upon hearing Luffy make such a statement, Tashigi's entire face flushes red!]
[She wants to refute!!!]
[But she can't seem to find any reason to refute...]
[Yeah!]
[Shigure is in my hands, can I make it more famous in the future...]
[When this question pops into Tashigi's mind, her heart feels empty.]
[Although she doesn't want to admit it, she has to admit...]
[What Luffy said might actually be... right!!!]
[Just when she's at a loss, Shigure is gently placed in front of her by Luffy~~]
[She looks up blankly, only to see Luffy has already turned and left~~~]
[Not knowing where the strength came from, Tashigi struggles to climb up from the ground. She snatches Shigure, and stumbles in front of Luffy!!!]
[She ignores her somewhat messy hair, yelling angrily at Luffy: "Damn...!!! What do you mean!!!! You say you want Shigure to rank among the Supreme Grade Swords in the future, but then you don't dare to take it, what's the meaning of this...!!!"]
[Buggy shrugs: "This woman is so annoying!"]
[Zoro shakes his head slightly, looking away~~~]
[Although Tashigi and Kuina are too similar, it's precisely because they are so similar that Zoro subconsciously "demands" Tashigi to have Kuina's personality~~]
[Result... this woman is actually like this...]
[Zoro feels very displeased~]
[Looking at Tashigi before him, Luffy shrugs: "Didn't you hear me clearly? If it's in my hands, I will definitely make it rank among the Supreme Grade Swords in the future! But it's your sword... it hopes more that you will take it to the Supreme Grade!!!"]
["If I really snatched it away, then what's the difference between me and someone like you?"]
["Me... when I was a kid, Grandpa told me, taking other people's things is wrong!"]
["Now, I'm sharing this principle with you! You're welcome!~~~"]
[After saying that, Luffy reaches out and pats Tashigi's shoulder, pushing her aside. Subsequently, the figures of the three disappear into the bustling crowd~~~]
