Chapter 742: Vic's Shadow
"The Sandai Kitetsu! This is the Sandai Kitetsu! This is a famous sword. Its predecessor, the Secondai Kitetsu, is a great sword, and the Firstai Kitetsu before that is a supreme great sword. How could it be put together with these standard swords?
If this knife only costs 50,000 Baileys, you've made a killing! This is a great knife! This is it, you should choose it, it normally costs a million Baileys!"
The famous sword commentator Tashigi was online again. When she saw Zoro's expression change after he grabbed a sword, she hurried over to join in the fun, and then recognized the sword in Zoro's hand. However, she did not know that the Sandai Kitetsu was a demon sword. The information about the demon sword seemed to have been deleted from the famous sword encyclopedia.
"No! That one's not for sale!"
Just as Zoro took the Sandai Kitetsu out of the barrel with a serious face, held it horizontally in his palms, and pulled out a part of the blade, the shop owner's face changed drastically and he quickly interrupted Tashigi's chattering.
This is a magic sword that cannot be wielded by ordinary people. Although he is a little greedy, he will not disregard other people's lives for money. And this stupid woman Dashiqi has been persuading others to buy this magic sword. How stupid!
"That's what I said! This knife is only sold for 50,000 berries. It's weird no matter how you think about it!"
"No! It's not like that..."
"It's a demon sword!"
Zoro is not a real kendo novice. The sword in his hand is actually affecting his mind. If he still doesn't know that this sword is a demon sword, all these years of practice will be in vain. So when his boss was hesitant, he revealed the nature of the sword.
"Well! Do you know?"
"No! I can feel it!"
The shop owner was surprised. He had always thought that this green-haired guy was an outsider. He didn't expect that he could tell the essence of the sword. This was something that only a person who had a thorough understanding of all the famous swords could do. Didn't he know that this sword was a demon sword without seeing Dashigi's famous sword illustrations? However, Zoro immediately denied his idea.
"My luck and its curse! Let's see which one is stronger!"
"is that a lie!"
"Stop! It's very sharp! Your hand will be cut off!"
The shop owner introduced the excellence of the demon sword lineage, the strangeness of the demon swords, and the tragic deaths of each of their owners, trying to persuade Zoro not to buy the sword.
But Zoro is also very stubborn. He feels that he can tame the sword, which is a good challenge for him!
Then came the famous scene. Zoro threw the sword into the air and let it spin continuously. Under the influence of gravity, the Sandai Kitetsu fell rapidly. The sharp blade cut through the air, making bursts of whistling, and slashed towards Zoro's outstretched arm below!
Needless to say, the result was that Zoro's luck and momentum overcame the curse of the demon sword. The back of the Sandai Kitetsu's sword only went around Zoro's arm, and the entire blade almost pierced into the floor. However, Zoro's dangerous move almost scared the shop owner and Tashigi to death!
After this battle, Zoro became a swordsman recognized by the shop owner. Although Zoro did not know much about famous swords, real swordsmen rely on their heart to feel the sword. Obviously, Zoro meets the requirements, so the shop owner of the Sandai Kitetsu did not charge him for the sword.
"Do you know a big pirate named Vic?"
Just as Zoro inserted the Sandai Kitetsu into his waist and was about to leave excitedly, the shop owner asked a question.
He was still very curious whether Xuezou was given to this boy by that man. He did not approve of Zoro before, so he did not think that Zoro had any relationship with that man. However, after seeing Zoro's heroic deeds just now, he felt that there were similarities between the two, so he asked this question.
"Of course! He graduated from our gym. If you really want to count, I should call him Senior Brother! Why do you ask this?"
"Because I sold Xuezou to him more than ten years ago, and now he is in your hands. I really like the look in your eyes just now, so I was a little suspicious of the relationship between you two. Now it is confirmed that he did not make a mistake!"
"What do you mean? Xuezou was left for me by him?"
"That's right! After I sold Xue Zou to him, there was no news of it appearing in other people's hands. He must have bought a better knife, so he kept Xue Zou. Then when he saw that you were short of a knife, he left Xue Zou to you. This is also a kind of recognition of you!"
"Is it really?"
Zoro left the weapon shop with endless complexity. He didn't expect that Xuezou, who appeared inexplicably before, was actually related to Vic. If it was that person, he could indeed put Xuezou next to him quietly.
When Vic left, the feat of climbing to the sky on foot was still engraved in his mind. How strong was Vic? He still couldn't see the whole picture!
He didn't even understand how Vic did it, which put him under tremendous pressure and made him feel like he was always living in Vic's shadow. He was ready to return to the Merry and start lifting weights. He felt that he was still too weak!
......
"Hey! Vic! Do you know the guy in the straw hat?"
On the other side of Rogue Town, Smoker is carrying out today's mission, which is to capture the pirate Straw Hat Luffy.
When the Straw Hat Pirates landed in Rogue Town, they were discovered by the marines hiding on the dock. With such a large logo of the Straw Hat Pirates painted on the sail, it would have been hard not to notice it!
Although Arlong and his crew are no longer in the East China Sea, Luffy still tops the East China Sea's wanted list!
After leaving Cocosia Village, the five members of the Straw Hat Pirates encountered a pirate group of similar size to the Click Pirates on an island. In order to save a little girl who had invited Luffy to dinner when they landed on the island, Luffy and his four companions defeated the pirate group that was entrenched in the town and sucking the vampires from the townspeople!
Given Luffy's long-standing record, he finally came into the attention of the navy, and his bounty became the highest in the East China Sea, worth 3300 million berries. As for Zoro and others, they were not on the list.
Smoker didn't care much about the pirates in the East China Sea, so he didn't even look at Luffy's bounty order, but dragged Wick out to capture people, and also wanted to prove his strength to Wick.
As a result, when he met the real person and asked for directions, he didn't recognize him. Maybe he was misled by the innocence on Luffy's face and his mental state of not being afraid after seeing the navy.
In Smoker's eyes, pirates are not like this. As long as they are pirates, they will definitely have some facial and emotional changes when they see the navy emblem on him. This is also the reason why he comes out to arrest people without looking at the bounty order.
Who would have thought that the main character would not play by the rules? He did not react at all when he saw the navy? Should we say that the Straw Hat Boy is really careless, or that he has an extraordinary psychological quality?
"I know him! Isn't that the Straw Hat Luffy on the wanted poster? Didn't you see the wanted poster?"
Although Vic followed Smoker, no one else could find him, including Luffy who had just asked Smoker for directions.
Seeing that Vic looked at the boy differently, Smoker asked casually. He didn't expect that Vic actually knew him. The boy was also his target. He really made a mistake this time and embarrassed himself in front of Vic.
"You...! Why didn't you tell me that he was my target? Don't go any further, let's go after him, he probably hasn't gone far yet!"
Smoker was a little furious. It was not known whether it was because he let Straw Hat Luffy run away, or because he let Straw Hat Luffy go in front of him and he needed to hide his embarrassment.
"Don't worry! That kid is not a bad guy. It doesn't matter whether we catch him sooner or later. But you can't blame me for this. I thought you were trying to play the long game and catch the whole gang after the Straw Hat Boy and his companions meet up!
Who knew you didn't even know the real boss? Why did you pull me out? Are you grabbing air? Or are you grabbing a random pirate and saying it's Straw Hat Luffy?"
Vic did this on purpose. Smoker has been a navy for so many years, but he is still a little rash. He dared to fight head-on without even having any intelligence or information about the enemy.
If he was a pirate, it would be fine, but he was a marine, with so many subordinates following him. If he dared to rush in without knowing anything, wouldn't that hurt others and himself? So Vic had to teach him a lesson, and not embarrass him to death.
