Chapter 1163 General's Blade
The appearance of Mogami Daiyomo Mikazuki Munechika once again became the focus of the whole audience. After taking a look at this quaint and gorgeous sword, people were so obsessed with it that they wanted to take it for themselves.
Before Mr. Koro introduced the origins of Mikazuki Munechika, the people in the Pandora venue had already started making a commotion, telling the yellow-skinned tentacle monster to stop talking nonsense and quickly state the starting price.
Don't underestimate the swordsman's pursuit of famous swords. You don't usually have the opportunity to see a famous sword of the supreme level up close. Those who own this level of famous sword are top swordsmen.
Hawkeye Mihawk's Black Blade Night, Whitebeard Edward Newgate's Kurogane Kiri, those who have seen the Supreme Great Sword and survived are, after all, a minority among the minority.
Today in the Pandora venue, it is a chance for people inside and outside the venue to broaden their horizons and let these country bumpkins see how beautiful the Supreme Sword can be.
Whitebeard looked at Mikazuki Munechika held up by the host. He stared at the screen the whole time. Even though he was old, he still had a desire for beautiful and rare things.
"I hope this sword follows the right owner and doesn't fall into the hands of some incompetent person, which will only tarnish Mikazuki Munechika." Edward Newgate fought with his adopted sons and daughters for many years. Although he gained a lot of wealth and fame, he never encountered a second supreme sword.
The rarity of the Supreme Sword is even greater than that of the Nature-type Devil Fruit. If a swordsman is asked to choose between the Supreme Sword and the Nature-type Devil Fruit, most swordsmen will choose the former without hesitation.
A supreme sword is hard to come by. If a master craftsman makes one like this, his name will almost certainly go down in history. If one wants to forge a second sword, he must have a second life.
Each supreme sword contains the culmination of the craftsman's sword-forging experience. It is almost impossible for the younger generations to surpass it, otherwise the best swords would have been everywhere, to the point where everyone owns one.
Shiki, who had replaced his thighs with others, touched the Kuki and Sakurajuu on his waist. Using his hands to slash and using his legs to slash were completely two different scenarios.
"I really don't know where the underworld forces got those good things from the big auction, such as powerful devil fruits and top-notch swords. These two things can actually be bought with money now. This was unheard of in the past," Golden Lion couldn't help complaining while smoking a cigar. It turned out that if people live long enough, they will encounter more strange things.
Hiyori, who was serving the two old men closely, suddenly had a bold idea in her mind, "Could this ancient sword of Mikazuki Munechika also be made by a craftsman from Wano Country?"
Kozuki Hiyori's guess is not groundless. Among the supreme swords, great swords, good swords, etc. that exist in the world today, most of the precious ones were forged by craftsmen from Wano Country.
It was not surprising that the girl had this idea, as Hiyori still remembered clearly how sharp Ame-no-Habakiri and Enma were when she was a child, and she almost cut off her finger while playing with her father's famous sword.
It is unknown which craftsman made the swords Murasakibara, Yami, and Hiyori, but the first generation of the demon sword Kitetsu was definitely made by a craftsman from Wano Country, and then the second and third generations of Kitetsu were passed down through this.
Mr. Koro did not break his inherent principles because of the noise at the scene. He wanted to explain the origins of Mikazuki Munechika.
After all, the more beautiful the story is, the more empathetic and acceptable it will be to the audience, and the auction price will rise, making these big players willing to pay.
"Mikazuki Munechika's origins are not glorious. The reason why this ancient sword was able to rediscover itself was because of a group of stupid tomb robbers." Mr. Koro used the shortest words to describe the stupid actions of the tomb robbers.
He did not reveal the name of the tomb robber. The tomb robbery took place twenty years ago. Gekko Moriah challenged Kaido beyond his capabilities, and all the crew members around him were killed. Only he survived by chance.
Before leaving Wano Country, large-scale tomb looting was carried out in Wano Country, and many treasures and corpses were stolen. The most famous of them was Ryuma's corpse, along with his sword Shusui.
It might be because Moonlight Moria was careless and only focused on building the magnificent tomb, without paying attention to the small tombs without tombstones or names in the cemetery, which gave room for the next wave of tomb robbers.
There was an intellectual among the tomb robbers. Based on the clues found in the inscriptions on the tombstones, he learned that there had been a Mikazuki Munechika sword in Wano Country.
According to the stone tablet carved by the craftsman, it was forged by Mikazuki Munechika for Sanjo Munechika, and the finished product was presented to the general of Wano Country at that time. Because this supreme large sword is extremely gorgeous and excellent, it has been used as a ceremonial blade many times.
It has been passed down among the generals of Wano Country until one day, when the golden age of Wano Country was shattered and an unprecedented turmoil occurred. Mikazuki Clan disappeared temporarily following the war.
According to the craftsman's guess, Mikazuki Munechika should be in the tomb of a general's wife. This is a tragic love story.
According to the rules of Wano Country, women are not allowed to hold swords. A general of a certain generation in Wano Country, grateful to his first wife for accompanying him in his conquests, gave the Shogun's Blade, which was a symbol of Mikazuki Munechika at the time, to the general's wife.
After the Shogun's wife died, Mikazuki Munechika was buried with her. Due to the long time ago, it is almost impossible for outsiders to find the Shogun's wife's tomb.
Unfortunately, this group of tomb robbers were locals. They searched through all the existing written materials in Wano Country and finally determined the approximate location of the tomb. They prepared for this for several years.
Finally, the hard work paid off. The tomb of the general's wife was found, and among the burial objects, the general's blade that had been lost in Wano Country for many years was found.
Mikazuki Munechika was reborn by chance. The tomb robber became greedy for this famous sword and used cruel methods on his companions.
The evil nature of human beings was fully displayed in the tomb-robbing team. In the end, they killed each other and no one left the cemetery. Mikazuki Munechika continued to be covered in dust in the cemetery.
Many years later, a cowherd passed by and took the knife out of the deep cave. After that, the knife was passed around and was finally acquired by the organizer of a grand auction. Only then did Mikazuki Munechika end his wandering journey.
Wano Country is very unfamiliar to some pirates, but the story told by the host, Mr. Koro, infinitely elevates the historical significance of Mikazuki Munechika.
This lost Shogun's Blade witnessed the rise and fall of Wano Country. Now that Mikazuki Munechika has left Wano Country and is in the hands of outsiders, it is no different from the current situation of Wano Country.
Kurozumi Orochi originally just wanted to watch the fun, but after listening to the host's story, the alcohol in his head gradually sobered up, and he realized the importance of Mikazuki Munechika to the general of Wano Country.
Regardless of whether this story is true or not, as the story spreads, Mikazuki Munechika will become the symbol of the general of Wano Country.
The Shogun's Blade fell into the hands of an outsider. The current Kurozumi Shogun will definitely be criticized by the people under his rule. Without Mikazuki Munechika, how could he be qualified to be a general?
