Chapter 255
East Blue Loguetown, also known as the beginning and the end, the birthplace and death place of Pirate King Roger!
At the gate of Loguetown, Luffy and his team finally arrived here after a few days of sailing. They are ready to make the last supply here, and then set off for the Grand Line.
Such a busy town is rarely seen in East Blue. After all, this place has been the place where countless pirates must pass to the Grand Line from the past, and everyone can’t help but admire it.
Pirates; the whole world knows that it is a group of rich people. Of course, like Luffy, a poor captain who has no money, and Lin Tian, a vice captain who is full of money, is rarely seen.
“Well, Loguetown, where Pirate King Roger was born and died, I’m going to see the death penalty podium.” after saying that Luffy ran out regardless of the others.
Usopp came and hurriedly shouted: “Hey! We haven’t decided the meeting place yet.”
Lin Tian said aloud: “Forget it, anyway, with Luffy’s ability to cause trouble, we will be able to find him with no difficulty, and now, we can do our own things.”
……
In a high-end clothing store, no matter what, the clothes are really attractive items for girls.
Half leaning on the wicker chair, Lin Tian looked at Nami who was constantly changing her clothes, and from time to time there was a feeling of surprise. Nami tried every kind of clothes on her is a bright spot.
As for the owner on the side, he has been eyeing Lin Tian. He just doesn’t know whether Lin Tian just want to look or buy it.
Hanger is an employee at Robecca Hanberg, a clothing store in Loguetown. Nami tried on all of his best clothes, but did not buy any.
Looking at the side, that pile of clothes with his own height, Lin Tian couldn’t help shaking his head and smiling bitterly. She actually tried so many, there should be more than a dozen sets, how do you feel that she hasn’t had a lot of fun yet, still choosing among those clothes.
Da!
With a snap of his fingers, the owner trotted over quickly. As a shrewd owner, his vision is of course not bad. You can see Lin Tian’s attitude is not simple at a glance.
He lowered his head and respectfully asked: “Dear guest, do you want to buy a few pieces?”
Pointing to the pile of clothes on the side, as well as the clothes that Nami has selected. Like a local tyrant, Lin Tian said: “I want it all, wrap it up for me, then…”
Before Lin Tian could speak, Nami directly took Lin Tian and walked out, turned around and smiled and said: “Sorry, we don’t need any of them, I just want to buy a few pieces.”
On the street, Lin Tian turned his head and looked at Nami puzzledly and said: “Nami, didn’t you like all those clothes? Why did you stop me?”
In regaining his gaze, Nami hugged Lin Tian’s arm tightly and explained: “We are going to the Grand Line. How can that kind of place be suitable for wearing that kind of clothes? And that many clothes are bought. I wouldn’t find a place where to put the things in Merry.”
“Right.”
The Merry is indeed a bit small. Originally, Lin Tian wanted to change the search ship, but after staying on it for so long, the Merry also walked a lot with us and felt emotional.
Nami’s eyes finally found a store that suits her, and hurriedly pulled Lin Tian into it.
Accompanied by Nami’s selection, and not much to go through the shop, Nami finally found a lot of favorite clothes, and by the way helped Lin Tian choose a few.
While Lady Boss was organizing things, Nami also took the opportunity to talk to her. At the same time, she also had the intention of knowing more information.
“Captain Smoker is second to none in here. In the past, this was the place where Grand Line pirates gathered. However, when Captain came here to manage, all pirates who came here were all dragged to jail. Now, he is not just some ordinary and powerful person, he is a monster.”
TL note:Smoker the White Hunter is a Marine officer and the Commander of the G-5 Marine Base, following the treason of his former superior Vergo. He was first introduced as a captain in Loguetown, where he made it his mission to capture Luffy.
“Is that so?” Nami turned to Lin Tian and asked, “Lin Tian, do you know Captain Smoker?”
Lin Tian recalled a little: “That brat studied under me for a period of time. He is a smoker who is not just in name only, but also in reality. Not only is his ability to smoke, he never leaves his mouth, but his strength is still good.”
“Smoke?” Nami looked puzzled. What exactly is the smoke Lin Tian said was just when Nami wanted to ask.
Lin Tian suddenly complexion changed, and quickly go outside. He turned around and said: “Nami, Luffy and Zoro are not Smoker’s opponents yet. I will find the two first, you go to Usopp and look for Sanji.”
Hearing this, Nami also knew the seriousness of the matter, nodded, and quickly picked up the things she had arranged, and also moved towards the door and ran outside.
With Luffy and Zoro’s bounties, Marine will definitely move. At least the Marine here must have received such a reward order, which is really not good news for Luffy and Zoro.
On the street, Lin Tian was extremely fast. He headed towards the death penalty table. Lin Tian still knows the strength of Smoker. Luffy was not ready for him yet.
Smoker has also belonged to that kind of elite level in the marines. His battle strength has surpassed his actual Marine’s military rank.
If this brat likes to mess around and doesn’t obey orders at all, his position would have been Rear Admiral. This brat would have been promoted a long time ago, and it will be a matter a time before he’s promoted.
Just after Lin Tian turned the next street, he stopped suddenly, with a surprised look on his face, and in the opposite direction, he came to a shop that sold swords just now.
Looking from the door of the shop, he saw Zoro in a small corner of the shop, watching with a sword with a dark red scabbard in his hand, but there was a beautiful girl holding a sword on the side.
If this scene hadn’t appeared before him, Lin Tian would have thought he had read it wrong. “Could it be that Zoro has been transgender recently and hooked up with a beautiful girl so quickly? It’s really amazing.”
Lin Tian shook his head, expelled the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, and walked straight in.
Holding the sword in his hand, Zoro has a strange feeling, as if he can feel that the sword is alive, as if… as if it suits him very well.
The beautiful girl on the side opened the next book she carried with her and exclaimed: “This sword is predecessor Kitetsu! The Sandai Kitetsu is a part of Saijo O Wazamono! This is a good sword, you must buy it.”
TL note: The Sandai Kitetsu is one of the Grade swords. Like all of its predecessor Kitetsu swords, this one is said to be cursed. It is one of Tenguyama Hitetsu‘s creations. Zoro picked the sword from a barrel of cheap katanas in a shop at Loguetown after sensing its quality; Tashigi later identifies the sword from a catalog. When the owner first saw it, he was not going to allow Zoro to buy it, telling him of the curse.
Lin Tian who came in, heard the suggestion, couldn’t help but was taken aback. It seemed that the beautiful girl Zoro found was a person who knew how to sword.
“Sandai Kitetsu is a good sword, but it’s a cursed sword. Many famous swordsmen have suffered to death, now I can’t find any swordsman using Sandai Kitetsu.”
At the front desk, the boss trembling voice explained to Zoro that he obviously wanted Zoro to cut off the idea of this demon sword.
TL note:Ipponmatsu is the owner of an arms shop in Loguetown and Ipponume‘s husband. He was the former owner of both Sandai Kitetsu and Yubashiri.
“In this world, there is no demon sword. A real swordsman is not affected by a sword. A swordsman who is affected by the sword is not a real swordsman.”
The sudden sound of evaluation shocked everyone present, and quickly moved towards the door and saw a white silhouette standing at the door.
“Lin Tian!” Zoro cry out in surprise, obviously very surprised that Lin Tian can appear here.
Come up and look at the sword in Zoro’s hand, “Yes, Zoro, you actually meet Sandai Kitetsu in this place… this sword is really suitable for you.”
The weapon shop boss reminded: “What do you know, kid? This is a demon sword, and anyone using it will be killed.”
“Really?”
Lin Tian drew the Chasing Wind with much less rust appeared on his hands, a bright light, the Chasing Wind steadily stabilized Sandai Kitetsu.
“This sword, it is actually… scared.” feeling the change of the sword in his hand, Zoro looked incredulous.
Hearing this, smiled slightly, Lin Tian withdrew from the Chasing Wind, “I can feel its changes, and it really suits you, Zoro! There are only few swordsmen who can affect the sword in the world.”
“It can suppress Sandai Kitetsu, what is this sword…?” The beautiful girl next to her quickly flipped her book, but she couldn’t find it from above. It did not belong to any world-famous sword.
At the front desk, the boss said with excitement: “I always thought it was a rumor, but I didn’t expect the feet to be real. If I didn’t guess wrong, it already belongs to 12 Saijo O Wazamono, the double-edged Chasing Wind. Only Chasing Wind can match the characteristics of this sword.”
The beautiful girl flipping the small book, retorted with an incredulous look: “How is it possible, there is no such sword in among countless Wazamono.”
“No… no…” The Boss said no a few times before he eased his excitement a little, “Chasing Wind, the newest sword of Wazomono’s twelve. It is said that this sword once cut off one of Saijo O Wazamono, taking its place.”
With a sigh, Lin Tian was a little surprised and said: “Didn’t expect Boss to even know this.”
“I just heard it from somewhere.” the Boss touched his head and said sorry: “So, you are the great swordsman who cut one of Saijo O Wazamono.”
Lin Tian not at all answered this question, just smiled slightly.
Holding the Sandai Kitetsu, Zoro asked, “Lin Tian, so to speak, this sword really suits me.”
“Well.” slightly nodded, Lin Tian said: “Although you can sense it, it’s your own business whether you can make it surrender to you.”
“In this case, my destiny and its curse; let’s compare: which is stronger.”
Zoro lightly tossed the Sandai Kitetsu. It turned into a circle and quickly rotated, Zoro slowly closed his eyes and stretched out his arm, the intention is obvious.
The scene was silent, only the sharp blade and the sound of scraping the air resounded throughout the weapon shop.
Wipe!
The sword blade is inserted into the ground directly 2/3, which is enough to show the sharpness.
Zoro was unscathed. It seems that Zoro’s fate has defeated the curse of the Sandai Kitetsu.
Seeing this, even Lin Tian couldn’t help but express his inner praise: “The Shodai and Nidai already have their masters, and now the Sandai Kitetsu finally have its own master.”
“What!” Hearing this, the Boss reacted instantly with a look of disbelief. Previously, he said that no swordsman used the Kitetsu series, but now previous two Kitetsu already had their owners.
“The Nidai Kitetsu is in the hands of a great swordsman, as for the Shodai Kitetsu is in the hands of an old man, who is a deep and unmeasurable swordsman. His sword technique is no less than Hawk Eyes’. Zoro, if you want to become the number one swordsman in the world, you will definitely face them in the future.”
Holding Sandai Kitetsu, a glimmer of expectation flashed on Zoro’s face, “I want to compare my Sandai Kitetsu and theirs, whose destiny is stronger.”
