"Mr. Yang, what is the exchange rate between Berry and Yen? I… I'll give you the money."
Miko had already changed out of her thick bathrobe and into a white dress. Paired with her slightly purple long hair, she exuded the charm of a neighborhood girl coming of age.
"No need, it's all my coming-of-age gift to you."
Just as Miko was about to say something else, an extremely distinct sound of air breaking rang out, and everyone subconsciously looked towards the sky.
Luffy's figure was seen streaking across the sky.
Yurikawa Hana, in shorts and a bra, pointed at the figure in the sky and asked curiously, "Mr. Yang, is that also a human?"
Along the way, Hana had gained a lot of experience, encountering all sorts of strange people, so when she saw Luffy flying across the sky, she wasn't as surprised as she would have been initially.
"No, that's an idiot, a very interesting idiot."
After speaking, Yang Tao smiled and said, "Don't mind him, we'll run into him again this afternoon."
Continuing forward, Loguetown was bustling with activity, and the streets were crowded with pedestrians. However, with Elisa present, ordinary people would subconsciously keep their distance from Yang Tao and the others.
[World Exploration Value 29.99%]
Huh?
Yang Tao looked around and suddenly saw a weapon shop. He instantly understood that this must be where Zoro obtained Sandai Kitetsu.
He immediately said to Elisa and the two others, "Let's go to the weapon shop first."
"Weapon shop?"
Miko was also a bit curious, or rather, they were all very curious about everything in this world. They followed Yang Tao into the weapon shop.
"Sure enough, it's Sandai Kitetsu, this blade is indeed Sandai Kitetsu!"
Before seeing the person, her voice was heard. Before Yang Tao could even survey the interior of the weapon shop, he heard Tashigi's voice coming from the side.
Tashigi looked at the Sandai Kitetsu in Zoro's hand with surprise, completely oblivious to the weapon shop owner's suppressed emotions. She continued to explain, "Its predecessor, the Nidai Kitetsu (Second Generation Ghost Cutter), is a Great Grade Sword, and the Shodai Kitetsu (First Generation Ghost Cutter) before that is a Supreme Grade Sword."
She turned her head to look at the bald owner standing behind the counter and asked, "Boss, is this blade really only selling for 50,000 Berries?"
"Uh…"
"This is wonderful, this is a great blade…"
Tashigi then excitedly said to Zoro, "Choose it! It's a great blade! Under normal circumstances, it would sell for over 1,000,000 Berries!"
Zoro looked intently at the blade of the Sandai Kitetsu, as if he hadn't heard Tashigi's words.
But at this moment, the weapon shop owner said with a conflicted expression, "No… this weapon is not for sale…"
The weapon shop owner was a good person; he knew that this Sandai Kitetsu was a cursed blade and didn't want to harm Zoro.
However, Tashigi didn't know the situation and said as if it were obvious, "I knew it! How could this weapon only sell for 50,000 Berries? It sounds strange just thinking about it."
The owner hesitantly said, "No… it's not that."
Zoro directly said, "It's a cursed blade, isn't it?"
The weapon shop owner looked at Zoro in surprise: "You know?"
"No, I can feel it…"
Zoro smiled and said, "I like it, this is the one!"
Yang Tao, standing at the entrance, saw Zoro about to show off and whispered to the others behind him, "This person is Roronoa Zoro, a famous lost cause on this vast sea."
"Ah?"
Not only Miko, but even Elisa looked at Yang Tao with a suspicious expression. Who introduces people like that…
"Yang, I can feel dark power on that blade."
"Didn't I just say it? This is a cursed blade… Look, he's about to show off."
Zoro was seen tossing the Sandai Kitetsu in his hand high into the air, then extending his arm, quietly waiting for the Sandai Kitetsu to fall on its own.
Next, either Zoro's luck would prevail, suppressing the Sandai Kitetsu's ferocity and perfectly avoiding the falling Sandai Kitetsu.
Or, his arm would be severed by the Sandai Kitetsu.
For a moment, inside the weapon shop, everyone except Yang Tao and the closed-eyed Zoro stared intently at the Sandai Kitetsu falling from the sky.
The result was, of course, self-evident.
Zoro's protagonist halo clearly prevailed. The sharp blade of the cursed blade Sandai Kitetsu grazed Zoro's arm and plunged deeply into the weapon shop's floor.
Tsk tsk…
That was a great show-off.
Clap clap…
Yang Tao couldn't help but clap his hands, instantly drawing the attention of the few people in the room.
Upon seeing Yang Tao, Tashigi's face lit up with surprise. She pushed up the glasses on her nose and said, "Mr. Yang! I never expected to see you here."
"I specifically borrowed some Berry from Officer Smoker, hoping you could help me enhance this sword."
Yang Tao watched Ms. Tashigi bow and present the sword he had given to her. He smiled and reached out to take it.
"As long as the money is in place, anything is negotiable, Ms. Tashigi."
It was just a Tachi, for him, it was a simple matter of moving his hands.
"You can start thinking about what to name your new weapon now. A Tachi given a name will possess incredible power…"
"Gekka!"
Upon hearing that she needed to name the weapon, she didn't hesitate at all and blurted it out.
"Gekka, huh? Not bad…"
Yang Tao smiled and reached out to draw the bladeh, then took out the Yamato and forcefully struck the blade.
Bang… A crisp sound rang out, and the sharp and tough blade was cut in half by the Yamato.
Tashigi's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the broken blade in Yang Tao's hand. She put her hand over her chest; at that moment, she felt like killing Yang Tao.
The sword, which could be considered a Good Grade Sword, was inexplicably shattered like this, just like her heart at that moment.
"Don't worry, the prerequisite for forging a Tachi is to break it. This is unavoidable."
Picking up the shattered blade from the ground, after being digitized, the Blade · White Sheath became a broken state. He took out materials from his backpack and directly synthesized an unnamed Tachi.
He then put it into the anvil, renamed it, and handed it to Tashigi, saying, "Here, this is your new weapon."
The Sophisticated Backpack could install synthesis and anvil plugins, so he didn't need to specially take out a workbench and anvil now.
Tashigi was currently very hesitant, wondering whether to give Yang Tao a good beating, but the next moment she was captivated by [Gekka].
The Tachi was not flashy and looked ordinary.
However, the moment Tashigi gripped the hilt, she froze in place. At the same time, a feeling emerged within her.
This blade, it really seemed to be the previous blade. Although there was no visual resemblance, this [Gekka] gave her the same feeling as before.
