## Chapter 37

Tsuru rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache coming on. She'd inexplicably gained a follower.

Seeing Gion so lively and happy, Tsuru knew she had to protect Ryuzaki.

*"Should I get that kid into the Navy?"*

Tsuru wondered to herself. If Ryuzaki could join the Navy, things would be much easier! But Ryuzaki was already a member of the World Government's intelligence agency, which made things complicated. Even with some connections at the higher levels, this wasn't something that could be solved with just connections.

Tsuru thought about it for a while but couldn't come up with a solution, so she simply stopped thinking about it. She'd help Ryuzaki when he actually encountered some difficulties.

"Gion, although you possess the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, you must not neglect your physical training and Haki cultivation."

"Yes, yes, I will. You know what? My little brother is amazing!"

"How is he amazing?"

"Him? Last time I sparred with him, he only looked at my Heart Returns to One Style once, and he learned it!"

"Really?"

"Yes, at first I thought he already knew Heart Returns to One Style, but later I confirmed that he didn't."

"According to you, his talent in swordsmanship is terrifying."

"So, it's such a waste that he's such a genius, yet he became an undercover agent, unable to train, wasting so much of his time!"

"There's nothing we can do about it, sigh—" Tsuru sighed, waved her hand and said, "Alright, go report to Zephyr. From now on, you will train under Zephyr."

"Okay!"

Gion left Tsuru's office and went to see Zephyr.

---

To be honest, Gion's return this time caused quite a stir. This girl went out for a short trip and obtained the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Sengoku was thrilled; the Navy had gained another powerful asset!

Tsuru chose to remain silent about the source of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, only saying that Gion was lucky and wiped out a group of pirates, finding it on their ship.

No one said anything about it; taking something from pirates—can that really be called stealing?

Although normally, as a Marine, the spoils from killing pirates are usually confiscated and handed over, since Gion had already eaten the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, so be it! After all, once you eat it, you can't spit it out!

---

Time passed quickly, and the six months agreed upon with Issho were almost up!

In these six months, apart from wasting a lot of time searching for the Rumble-Rumble Fruit on Skypiea, Ryuzaki spent most of his time reading books on sword forging and forging knives.

During this time, Gion visited many times, bringing Ryuzaki a lot of information on physical techniques and swordsmanship. There's a lot of training in these areas within the Navy. Most of these fist and kicking techniques are quite ordinary, not up to the level of the Navy's Six Styles, but they're enough to unlock new talents and increase talent points!

There are a total of 13 fist techniques, 16 kicking techniques, and 13 sword techniques. Of course, some overlap with the sword techniques Ryuzaki already knows, leaving 4 new sword techniques remaining.

In total, 33 new combat talents have been unlocked, for a total of 135 talent points. Adding the previous 204 points, the total combat talent points reach **339**.

Ryuzaki added all these talent points to his talent: **Basic Physical Fitness**, and then ignored it. In this way, after half a year, Ryuzaki's Basic Physical Fitness reached **level 74**—more than enough to maintain two marked gates!

He devoted all his energy to researching sword forging.

---

When Issho visited the blacksmith's shop in Windmill Village again:

"Mr. Issho, you've come! The sword is finished, please try it!"

It was a cane-sword, similar in type to the sword Issho used before. Of course, in terms of quality, this sword had reached the level of a **Supreme Grade Sword**; the blade was thin, yet extremely sturdy and sharp.

However, when Issho held it in his hand, his expression changed!

"This is..." Issho turned his head to the left. "Is it over there? Someone is crying. This sword can even sense the cries of others."

"Mr. Issho, I've always had a dream."

"Oh? I'd like to hear more."

"I once dreamed of wielding a sword to roam the land, slaying evil and upholding justice, restoring order to the world..."

In fact, the dream Ryuzaki spoke of was his martial arts dream! Indeed, in his previous life, Ryuzaki dreamed of becoming a great swordsman when he was young. Mainly because he watched too many martial arts dramas—his desire to show off was at play.

"However…" Ryuzaki scratched his head sheepishly, "I'm the kind of person who hates trouble and has all sorts of bad habits. I can't possibly realize this dream on my own!"

"I see."

"So, I've entrusted my dream to this sword. This sword can sense the cries of others; it's a sword for chivalrous deeds!"

"Hehehehe…" Issho laughed happily, "This sword suits me perfectly."

"No need for any fees. I hope Mr. Issho can use this sword to save the world."

"I will certainly live up to your expectations. By the way, does this sword have a name?"

"Hmm, it hasn't been named yet. Why don't you, Mr. Issho, name it?"

"Since this sword can sense the cries of others, let's name it **Ryuzho**!"

"Excellent, excellent!"

Having obtained the fine sword, Issho drew Ryuzho and swung it a few times. It felt light and agile, but when the blade was pointed, it became heavy.

"A fine sword, a fine sword…"

Issho praised repeatedly.

## Chapter 38

---

"By the way, Mr. Issho, I'd like to ask you for a favor!"

"No problem at all."

Ryuzaki turned and went into the blacksmith's shop, taking out another sword.

"Mr. Issho, this is another sword I've forged."

"Hiss—" When Issho touched the blade, he frowned: "This sword is extremely ferocious, with the force of a dragon devouring its prey."

"Mr. Issho is right." Ryuzaki said, "The characteristic of this sword is its fierce and violent nature, and I would like to entrust Mr. Issho to help it find a master."

"I see, I understand!"

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Issho can also give this sword to Hawkeye. Anyway, that guy is looking for swordsmen to spar with everywhere, and he should encounter quite a few powerful swordsmen. Perhaps he can find a suitable master for this sword."

"Hehe, I'll take it!"

"Then thank you very much! This sword is named **Dragon Soar**!"

---

Thus, the **Dragon Grade Sword Series** was born.

Few people knew who forged the swords, but they had all heard of several famous Dragon Grade Swords.

The first is **Dragon Sense**—a seemingly insignificant dagger, yet Hawkeye uses it to search for powerful swordsmen.

The second is **Dragon Sorrow**—a blade only known by word of mouth, never seen in person. Hawkeye claims it's on par with the Supreme Grade Swords, but doesn't reveal its owner.

The third is **Dragon Soar**—a blade passed to Hawkeye by Issho...

---

"Issho, long time no see! Let's spar!"

"Heh heh, just what I was thinking!"

On a deserted island, Issho used Dragon Sorrow to spar with Hawkeye. After half a day, Issho sighed.

"Your swordsmanship has improved considerably."

"You're not bad either."

"Hawkeye, here!"

"Hmm? What's this sword?"

"This sword is named Dragon Soar. Ryuzaki wants me to find it a master. You've been searching for swordsmen to spar with, so you're clearly more suited for this task than I am."

"Hahahaha..." Hawkeye laughed. "In that case, I must find this sword a suitable master!"

"Then I'll take my leave!"

"Issho, why are you wielding your sword?"

"I wield my sword for the sake of all living beings!"

---

Dragon Sense, Dragon Sorrow, Dragon Soar!

No one witnessed Dragon Sorrow, or perhaps they did, but didn't recognize it.

However, the world witnessed Dragon Sense and Dragon Soar through Hawkeye!

"Hahahaha... Hawkeye, I heard you're looking for a master for Dragon Soar. Hand it over to me—I'm a powerful swordsman..."

"Hmph, a weak ant like you, how dare you desire this blade?"

"Hawkeye, don't underestimate me!"

"Is that so? Then try taking one of my strikes."

"Ah—"

"Can't even withstand one of my moves, truly an ant! Pathetic weakling, let me trample on your face!"

"Damn it, you really are trampling on my face..."

---

**Dragon Soar**—a sword on par with the Supreme Grade Swords.

Countless swordsmen flocked to it, wanting to obtain it.

This made things easier for Hawkeye; before, he had to travel everywhere seeking swordsmen to spar with, but now many swordsmen came to him themselves to obtain Dragon Soar!

It's just a pity that those swordsmen who flocked to it all became the "pathetic weaklings" in Hawkeye's eyes.

---

Just as Dragon Soar became famous...

**Windmill Village**—Gion is here again today!

"Little brother, you promised to forge a sword for me half a year ago. Half a year has passed—where is my sword?"

"Hehe, don't worry. Your sword is a bit complicated, but it's almost finished!"

"Oh, really?"

"Why would I lie to you!"

"By the way, little brother, tell me honestly—is the Dragon Grade Sword Series your work?"

"Hmm? How did you know?"

"Just a guess! Your sword-making skills are so amazing, it must be you. There's no one else like you in the world!"

"Hehe, it really is me, but don't go around telling everyone!"

"Don't worry, I'm tight-lipped!"

"Wait a moment—your sword is finished!"

In the large furnace, a sword, glowing red-hot, shone with a unique crimson light. The sword had strange patterns on its blade, resembling dragon scales.

Now, only the final step remained!

---

*Three hours later...*

Ryuzaki walked over, holding a sword that was still warm.

"Is this my sword?"

---

*End of Chapter 38*

# One Piece: Talent Reset System

## Chapter 39

---

"That's right, it was specially made for you."

Gion happily took the sword and drew it from its sheath.

Sturdiness and sharpness were practically synonymous with the Dragon Grade Swords. However, this sword was slightly different. While slightly less sharp, it was incredibly sturdy and possessed another unique characteristic: high-temperature resistance and super conductivity.

Most importantly, it was heat-resistant.

Gion tested it, discharging a hundred million volts, and the sword remained completely unharmed.

"Wow, amazing! Little brother, you're the best blacksmith I know in the world."

"Hehe, I'm glad you like it. Give this sword a name!"

"Hmm, the blade has scale-like patterns... let's call it **Dragon Scale**!"

Gion happily waved Dragon Scale around, thinking, *"Great! With Dragon Scale, I don't have to worry about the sword melting from the electricity!"*

---

Thus, the fourth Dragon Grade Sword appeared.

Gion continued training in the Navy, and because she possessed the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit, her strength increased significantly. Despite her young age, she was promoted to Rear Admiral of Marine Headquarters.

Taking advantage of her speed, Gion began hunting pirates on the high seas. Dragon Scale became famous as Gion hunted pirates throughout the New World.

**Dragon Sense, Dragon Sorrow, Dragon Soar, Dragon Scale!**

It truly lived up to the saying: *"Though I'm no longer in the martial world, my legend still circulates."*

During this time, Ryuzaki honed his sword-making skills, reaching **level 93** in blacksmithing.

That year, Ryuzaki was over seven years old. Little Ace, on the other hand, was just over two—and remarkably precocious.

---

To Ryuzaki's surprise, the little brat actually came looking for him!

"Hey, are you the blacksmith here?"

Looking at the little devil standing at the entrance, Ryuzaki was quite speechless.

"Yeah, I'm a blacksmith."

"You're just a kid."

"Hey, you have no right to call me a kid!"

"Tch, clearly a kid, but acting like an adult!" Ace muttered, then said, "So, you can forge knives, right?"

"What do you need knives for?"

"Hmph, I want to become a pirate. Enough talk—forge me a knife!"

"Forging a knife is no problem, but the price..."

"Hmph, I'll pay you back later."

Ryuzaki was speechless. Already on credit at such a young age!

He grabbed the kid and tossed him away. The little brat was quite impulsive, actually rushing up to fight Ryuzaki.

The result? Naturally, he got a beating.

As punishment, Ryuzaki took off little Ace's pants, making him go back naked—probably the most embarrassing thing he'd ever experienced!

---

Two or three days later, the kid was back—this time holding a stick, clearly there for revenge.

Makino was bringing Ryuzaki food when she saw Ace approaching.

"Ryuzaki, who's that kid? What's wrong with him?"

Before Ryuzaki could answer, Ace blurted out, "That bastard took off my pants last time!"

Makino looked at Ryuzaki, completely bewildered. He explained what had happened.

"Oh my, so Ace wanted to be a pirate but didn't have money to buy weapons!" Makino covered her mouth and laughed.

---

*End of Chapter 39*

# One Piece: Talent Reset System

## Chapter 40

---

"Damn it, what are you laughing at?"

"Ace, that's not good—you have to pay for things."

"Hmph, of course I know that, but I don't have any money right now. I'll owe you."

"Well, never mind. Ace, you must be hungry—come and eat!"

Ace was indeed quite hungry; after all, Dadan only provided one meal a day. Looking at the delicious food on the table, Ace swallowed hard, then threw down his stick. Without any hesitation, he sat down on the stool, picked up his chopsticks, and wolfed down his food.

*Okay, for Makino's sake, Ryuzaki won't beat him up!*

---

But this kid probably got addicted to freeloading—he came back for another meal the next day!

"Don't think I'll freeload off you. Hmph, I'll do some work for you to pay for the meal."

"Oh, you're quite sensible!"

Ryuzaki was too lazy to argue, pointing to the backyard of the blacksmith's shop. "Then go chop firewood!"

"Hmph, I know. I'll do it after I finish eating."

Ryuzaki smiled and didn't say anything more. He crossed his legs, lay back in his chair, and drank tea while reading the newspaper.

He still had to read the newspaper; as an intelligence agent, how could he not have intelligence?

"Hmm? The world's greatest swordsman?"

Seeing the headline, Ryuzaki laughed. It seemed that Hawkeye's position as the world's greatest swordsman was confirmed!

And there was another bombshell: **the system of the Seven Warlords of the Sea had been established!**

As for the candidates, they had not yet been determined.

---

"What are you looking at?"

"The newspaper!"

"What does it say?"

"Read it yourself!"

"I..."

"Could it be... I get it—you can't read! Hahaha..."

True, Ace was only two years old. Although precocious, he was only at the level of someone who'd just learned to talk and run!

Ace's face flushed red. He quickly ate a few mouthfuls of food and then went to chop firewood!

Two hours later, Ace ran over: "Hey, the firewood is all chopped!"

"Oh? So fast?"

Ryuzaki glanced at it and was speechless. "What are you chopping? It's a mess."

"It's just firewood—of course it's a mess."

"Sigh—" Ryuzaki picked up the axe and said to Ace, "Watch closely, kid. This is how you chop firewood."

---

Ryuzaki raised the axe with both hands, and with a powerful blow to a cylindrical piece of wood, it split into two equal pieces—the cuts neat and clean.

"See? You have to do it like this."

"You... you're deliberately trying to cause trouble."

"That's right, I'm deliberately trying to cause trouble—so what!"

"I... I know! Hmph, you bastard, I'll chop wood as you asked."

"Good that you know!"

---

Leaving the wood-chopping to Ace, Ryuzaki continued forging kitchen knives as always.

But now, Ryuzaki's blacksmithing level was already quite high!

Among his various levels, blacksmithing was the highest at **lv93**, followed by basic physical fitness at **lv74**.

In other aspects, there hadn't been much improvement; he was still at the level he was when he left the training base.

*"This won't do."* Ryuzaki scratched his head. *"I have to think of a way—I can't waste time!"*

Holding his hammer, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

*"Perhaps... I can hone my swordsmanship while forging?"*

This idea should be unprecedented, and even if someone thought of it, it would be impossible to realize! After all, people who are both excellent swordsmen and blacksmiths are incredibly rare.

However, Ryuzaki's total combat talent points were a whopping **339**! And his life skills talent points were also **142**.

Ryuzaki had an idea: he would create a swordsmanship—a swordsmanship honed through blacksmithing.

He would name it... **Blacksmith Swordsmanship!**

Yes, that's decided!

Ryuzaki swung his hammer. Though he was forging a kitchen knife—a process that was already second nature to him—he was trying to wield the hammer as if it were a sword.

A hammer is a hammer, a sword is a sword; they are inherently different.

If there's anything in common, it's that wielding a hammer and wielding a sword, over time, can both train wrist and arm strength.

Yes, that's where he'll start!

Because he had enough talent points, maintaining two marked gates was more than enough, so Ryuzaki allocated his talent points accordingly.

---

*End of Chapter 40*

# One Piece: Talent Reset System

## Chapter 41

---

A total of 339 talent points.

During the day, 139 points were allocated to the basic strength talent, and the remaining 200 points were allocated to the basic swordsmanship talent.

At night, and during rest, all talent points were allocated to the basic physical fitness talent.

Ryuzaki used the talent reset system to make the most of his limited time.

Inside the blacksmith shop, the sounds of *"clang clang clang clang..."* rang out.

Everyone who passed by thought Ryuzaki was forging iron, unaware that he was creating his own swordsmanship.

---

At dusk, an unexpected person came looking for him.

This person was none other than **Garp**!

As Ryuzaki closed the blacksmith shop and was about to leave, he found Garp sitting on a chair at the entrance.

"Mr. Garp?"

"Oh, it's Ryuzaki!" Garp smiled and said, "That kid Ace has already gone back!"

The old man Garp was sleeping—but who knew if he was really asleep or just pretending?

Ryuzaki was truly frustrated.

---

Of course, not only Ryuzaki was frustrated—there was someone else who was quite frustrated too.

In the town closest to Windmill Village, a little girl with long blonde hair was reading a book in a small inn room.

This little girl was **Kalifa**.

Because Ryuzaki's undercover mission was very special, only Ryuzaki could contact Buck. If Buck wanted to find Ryuzaki, he could only send someone to contact him!

Buck really wanted to contact Ryuzaki; he had an important question to ask him, which was why he sent Kalifa.

This was Kalifa's first mission!

Buck chose her to contact Ryuzaki because she knew him and also because she was clever.

Yes, Kalifa was very clever. Before even arriving at Windmill Village, she deduced from the surrounding information that Garp was there.

So Kalifa dared not go to Windmill Village and could only stay in a nearby town for the time being.

---

Kalifa closed the book in frustration.

She needed to find Ryuzaki; the mission was quite urgent. There was no way around it—it involved the Celestial Dragons, so how could she be negligent?

She waited for many days, but Garp still hadn't left, which infuriated Kalifa.

"That old geezer!"

Sitting in her inn room, Kalifa cursed Garp, secretly thinking how irresponsible he was. As a Marine, instead of catching pirates, he just stayed home relaxing. Was that really okay?

*"Bru-ru-ru, bru-ru-ru..."*

"Sir... Sir!"

"Kalifa, what's going on? Haven't you made contact with Ryuzaki yet?"

"I'm sorry, sir. Vice Admiral Garp is in the village; I can't go."

"I don't care. The Celestial Dragons are pressing you. You'll have to figure it out yourself. You have three days to contact Ryuzaki."

"What? Three days? Three days isn't enough... Hello? Sir?"

Unfortunately, the Den Den Mushi had already hung up, and Kalifa looked bitter.

She hadn't accomplished anything yet, and if she messed up her first mission... she dared not think further.

Kalifa bit her finger, her face filled with anxiety.

---

"That's it!" Kalifa suddenly slapped her forehead. "It seems that if Ryuzaki needs to buy materials for forging swords or sell kitchen knives, he entrusts it to a merchant named Kajak."

Kalifa suddenly had a flash of inspiration—she had an idea. She could use the contact signal on the items Kajak was buying for Ryuzaki.

But what signal should she choose?

Text was out of the question; that would definitely be unsafe. A password... seemed unlikely too; it would be easily detected.

Ideally, it would be a very simple symbol, something that others wouldn't notice, but Ryuzaki would understand immediately.

So, what was she and Ryuzaki most familiar with?

Kalifa followed this line of thought, imagining something that only the two of them could understand when they first met... Kalifa thought of it, but blushed!

Because it was a butt—Kalifa's little butt.

Yes, Kalifa remembered. They had both been selected for the intelligence agency, and during the selection process, Ryuzaki had been staring at her buttocks with a lecherous look.

Kalifa was conflicted. Why was it that the secret they both knew was *that*?

But Kalifa had no choice. Gritting her teeth, she took a piece of paper and traced her cute little buttocks.

Looking at the shameful shape, Kalifa paused, muttering to herself, "It's actually quite pretty. No wonder that guy was staring at it. But even so, it's still harassment."

---

**Windmill Village.**

"Hey, Ryuzaki, I bought what you wanted!"

"Thanks, Kajak."

"Hey, Ryuzaki, can't you forge some other knives? Why only kitchen knives?"

Kajak was quite annoyed. Actually, Ryuzaki's knife skills were excellent; if he forged swords of the same quality as kitchen knives, they would definitely sell very well—easily fetching 100,000 Berries each.

Ryuzaki simply smiled at Kajak's question without answering.

For Ryuzaki, if he were to forge a sword, it had to be a renowned, famous one.

---

*End of Chapter 41*

Chapter-42

Ace was helping unload the goods when suddenly he pointed at a large piece of pig iron and burst into laughter.

"Hmm?" Ryuzaki looked over in confusion and found a pattern drawn on the iron that looked like a butt.

Kajak shrugged and said helplessly, "I wonder which scoundrel played this prank."

"Ace, move everything into the warehouse!"

"What? Me? It's heavy."

"Figure it out yourself!"

Since Ace was an apprentice, Ryuzaki simply made him do the work!

After sending Ace away, Ryuzaki chatted with Kajak for a while, listening to Kajak complain about the butt-drawing prank, which seemed to have happened in a nearby town.

Ryuzaki guided Kajak and quickly got him to reveal the specific location.

As an intelligence agent, Ryuzaki was naturally very vigilant about anything unusual.

The butt pattern reminded the flamboyant Ryuzaki of Kalifa; after all, Kalifa's little butt had played a crucial role in his survival.

"Could it be Kalifa looking for me?" Ryuzaki wondered to himself.

Never mind, he'd go check it out first!

Of course, he could only act on this at night, since Garp was still in the village.

Late at night, when everyone was drowsy,

Ryuzaki quietly used an air portal and disappeared from Windmill Village.

Not long after, Ryuzaki arrived at the location Kagak had mentioned. He stayed in the alternate dimension, carefully observing the outside world.

"The streets seem deserted… no, Kalifa wouldn't be on the streets, it's too obvious. She should be staying at an inn."

There were only a limited number of inns in the town, so he followed the signs… Ryuzaki saw some things he shouldn't have seen.

For example, two young lovers having sex…

Of course, men and women were one thing, but when Ryuzaki saw two burly men entwined together in an inn room, he really wanted to wash his eyes; the scene was simply unbearable to watch.

"Male-male slut, ugh—"

After searching several inns, he finally found Kalifa!

Kalifa sat quietly in the room, reading at her desk. The little girl seemed to really enjoy reading.

Suddenly, an invisible door opened, and Ryuzaki appeared silently behind Kalifa.

"Who?" Kalifa turned around warily. "It's you? Great, you received my message!"

"Yes, that's right, I received it!" Ryuzaki said, glancing at Kalifa's elegant little bottom.

"This is harassment!"

"Ahem... Kalifa, what do you want?"

"Bark sent me to contact you, mainly because he was worried something might happen and he couldn't reach you. Of course, there's something important. Buck wants to know if you crafted the Dragon Rapier series?"

Chapter 30 Deception

"Eh?"

"You'd better tell the truth."

Kalifa adjusted her glasses and said seriously, "Don't hide anything. The Celestial Dragon, a World Noble—Big Sabi Saint—is looking for the swordsmith of the Dragon Rapier series."

"Big Sabi Saint? Isn't that just Big Sabi? In other words, it's a giant Sabi!"

What a vivid and grand name! Sabi is one thing, but adding "giant" makes him stand out from the crowd, being a Celestial Dragon after all.

"Ryuzaki, we're being serious!" Kalifa said angrily. "If we anger the Celestial Dragons, we'll all die. Can't you be serious?"

"Sorry, sorry, um, Kalifa, how much suspicion does Buck have?"

"About seventy percent. If you deny it, he'll probably be even more suspicious and might launch an investigation."

"Sigh—" Ryuzaki sighed. "Alright, that's right, I am the swordsmith for the Dragon Blade series."

Ryuzaki knew he couldn't hide it from Buck. After all, he had obtained many books and materials on sword forging from Buck.

With Buck's intelligence resources, even if he couldn't be certain, he was certainly suspicious!

"Don't be nervous, Ryuzaki," Kalifa comforted her. "You don't need to see the Celestial Dragons, at least not now."

"Phew, that's good, that's good. To be honest, I really can't stand those guys."

"Shh—don't say that, it'll get you into big trouble."

"I know, but I trust you, Kalifa!"

"Don't be so sentimental, okay? That's harassment!"

"Uh—"

"Hmph, anyway, you already know the situation. What you need to do now is forge an unparalleled sword and present it to the Celestial Dragons."

"The Great Saber Saint?"

"It's the Big Saber Saint." Kalifa said speechlessly, "I heard from Buck that the Big Saber Saint is a collector of famous swords. It's said that he has six Supreme Grade Swords."

"Is that guy a swordsman?"

"No!"

"Then why is he just sitting there doing nothing?"

"..."

Okay, Kalifa had to admit that Ryuzaki's description was quite accurate.

Damn it, you're not even a swordsman, yet you possess six Supreme Grade Swords, making it incredibly difficult for swordsmen across the land to find a decent blade.

That Great Sage is just asking for a beating!

If swordsmen throughout the land knew this, countless of them would probably want to stab that Great Sage to death.

Those six swords aren't just Good Grade Swords, or even Great Grade Swords; they're Supreme Grade Swords!

## Chapter 30: Deception

At this point, Ryuzaki paused for a few seconds to mourn for Tashigi; this adorable girl's dream was destined to remain just that—a dream!

"Is that all?"

"Yes, that's right. If you need any resources, just tell me now, and I'll prepare them for you."

"Heh heh, in that case, thank you, Kalifa!"

Kalifa handed him paper and pen. "Write it down!"

"Okay!"

Ryuzaki picked up the pen and wrote down the sword-forging materials he needed in a long, flowing hand.

This was practically embezzling public funds; he was taking whatever he could.

Ryuzaki made an outrageous demand, asking for a huge amount of resources, including many valuable rare metals.

But don't think that Ryuzaki, having asked for so many resources, was genuinely going to kindly forge a legendary sword for the Celestial Dragons!

Of course, he would forge the sword, and once it was finished, he would present it to the Celestial Dragons.

But...

Well… hehe, I accidentally forged a cursed sword, don't blame me!

In the world of One Piece, cursed swords exist, and the one that Ryuzaki remembers most vividly is the Sandai Kitetsu.

In layman's terms, a cursed sword kills its master, bringing misfortune to its wielder.

Even powerful swordsmen sometimes can't control a cursed sword, let alone someone who's not even a saintly swordsman!

"Ah, right…"

"Do you need any other materials?"

"Yes, since I'm forging a peerless sword, I need one more important material."

"What is it?"

"A Devil Fruit!"

"Eh? A Devil Fruit? You need a Devil Fruit to forge a sword?"

"That's right. Just tell Buck that only with a Devil Fruit as a material can you forge a peerless sword."

Kalifa didn't know anything about sword forging, so fine, since Ryuzaki said so, she'd write it down and reply to Buck.

As for Ryuzaki, he was secretly chuckling to himself.

A Devil Fruit forging a sword? Heh heh, let whoever wants to believe it believe it!

After staying with Kalifa for a short while, Ryuzaki returned.

Kalifa, of course, contacted Buck to report on her mission and, incidentally, what Ryuzaki had requested.

When Buck heard Kalifa read out the long list, his expression darkened.

Buck cursed Ryuzaki inwardly, thinking the kid was really asking for an exorbitant price; it was a shame he wasn't a corrupt official!

Buck estimated that the rare materials Ryuzaki demanded for sword forging were worth well over 100 million Berries!

But that wasn't all.

When Buck heard Kalifa mention Devil Fruits, he almost vomited blood from anger.

"Hey, Kalifa, what's going on? Why do we need Devil Fruits?"

"This…this is what Ryuzaki said. He said only using Devil Fruits as materials can forge a peerless sword."

Damn it, nobody believes that!

Once the Devil Fruit is in your hands, you'll probably pocket it!

"That brat..."

If Ryuzaki weren't on an undercover mission, Buck would have been furious enough to call him back and give him a good beating.

But Buck was helpless!

Leaving aside the fact that the undercover mission itself was crucial, even changing personnel now wouldn't work!

And then there was the Celestial Dragon obstacle. Since the Dragon Blade series really was forged by Ryuzaki, he really had to treat Ryuzaki like royalty.

Knowing full well that Ryuzaki was blatantly extorting him, Buck could only bitterly accept his fate.

Of course, Buck wasn't stupid; he was shrewd!

He would provide Ryuzaki with the rare metal materials himself, and as for the Devil Fruit? Buck passed the buck to the Celestial Dragon, Bigezabi.

Originally, Ryuzaki demanded a Devil Fruit to forge a peerless sword.

Buck slightly modified this, adding, "The rarer the Devil Fruit, the better the quality of the sword."

Then, without a second thought, Bigezabi took out one of his most treasured Devil Fruits and handed it to Buck.

What could Buck say about this?

The Celestial Dragons have problems with their brains, so let them be. If you point it out to them, they might even get angry. If you stop them from wasting money, they might chop you up.

## Chapter 31: The Ghost Leopard Fruit

Nearly a month passed.

Ryuzaki received the signal for the rendezvous and went to the small inn where Kalifa was staying once again.

This time, quite unexpectedly, besides Kalifa, Lucci was also there.

"Lucci, what are you doing here?"

"I'm in charge of escorting things." Lucci said, opening a box in the room: "Everything you wanted is here!"

So that's how it is. This time the items were quite valuable, and Buck definitely wanted someone reliable, unassuming, and strong to escort them. Lucci was undoubtedly a good choice.

"Oh, and this too!" Lucci took out another exquisite little treasure box: "The Devil Fruit you wanted."

## Chapter 31: The Ghost Leopard Fruit

"Oh? He really gave you a Devil Fruit?"

"Bigo Sabbi Saint values famous swords a lot. As far as I know, he's a collecting maniac. Ryuzaki, you'd better forge a sword that satisfies him, or you'll be in big trouble. Even Buck can't protect you."

"Hehehe... Don't worry, my craftsmanship is pretty good. By the way, what type of Devil Fruit is this?"

"Zoan type, Mythical Zoan, Ghost Leopard Fruit!"

"Hiss—Mythical Zoan?"

Ryuzaki was greatly surprised. He only wanted one Devil Fruit, but it turned out to be a Mythical Zoan?

Zoan-type Mythical Zoan fruits are even rarer than Logia-type Devil Fruits!

What can I say?

Are the Celestial Dragons stupid?

They have such a good Devil Fruit, and they don't even eat it?

Well, those guys might disdain eating Devil Fruits, or maybe they're just spoiled!

After all, Ryuzaki read in the original work that the Celestial Dragons even forced the Hancock sisters to eat Devil Fruits for their own amusement.

Others eat Devil Fruits to increase their combat power, but the Celestial Dragons collect them purely for collection or fun!

Although Ryuzaki dislikes the Celestial Dragons, he has to give a thumbs up to Saint Bigo Zabi in this matter.

"Honorable Saint Bigo Zabi, you're a truly great guy!"

Ryuzaki stroked his chin. A Mythical Zoan type, the Ghost Leopard Fruit?

Ryuzaki himself is a Devil Fruit user, so he can't eat any more. He's taking this opportunity to grab a Devil Fruit so someone else can have it.

Ryuzaki glanced at Lucci.

He remembered that in the original work, Lucci ate a regular Zoan-type Devil Fruit, seemingly the Cat-Cat Fruit: Leopard Mode.

This Ghost Leopard Fruit is definitely better than that!

After thinking it over carefully, Ryuzaki said to Lucci, "Lucci, this Ghost Leopard Fruit is for you. Eating it will definitely increase your fighting power a lot!"

"What? For me?" Lucci could hardly believe his ears. "You...you didn't want it to forge a famous sword?"

Kalifa, who was standing to the side, was also dumbfounded, but she quickly realized something. Could it be...

"Hehehe, I was just making that up. I was just asking for some benefits. Who knew that the Great Sabi Holy Society would be so stupid as to send a Mythical Zoan-type monster."

He couldn't stay calm!

He was completely unable to stay calm!

Lucci opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak. This guy actually dared to play tricks on even the Celestial Dragons? If this got out, he wouldn't be able to die a hundred times over!

"Hiss—"

Taking a deep breath, Lucci finally calmed down.

"Ryuzaki, this Ghost Panther Fruit, if sold on the market, would be worth at least a billion Berries. You're really just giving it to me like this?"

"Hehe, we're comrades, right? I asked for the Devil Fruit, actually to give it to you guys."

Hearing this, both Lucci and Kalifa were deeply moved.

"Thanks!"

Lucci didn't hesitate any longer and ate the Ghost Panther Fruit in one bite.

Ryuzaki used tongs to pick up a cube of ice, put it in his drink, shook it a few times, sat down on a chair nearby, drank his beverage, and slowly watched Lucci's transformation.

It has to be admitted that a Mythical Zoan is indeed a Mythical Zoan; it's undeniably powerful.

Originally, Zoan-type Devil Fruits could transform a person into an animal, enhancing their physical abilities.

Ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, after awakening, would possess powerful vitality and regenerative abilities.

However, this Mythical Zoan-type Ghost Leopard Fruit also possesses very special abilities.

One is soul walking, and the other is soul healing.

Soul walking is similar to the ability of the Clear-Clear Fruit, which is quite powerful, but it's not very useful against Observation Haki.

Moreover, soul walking has a weakness: its movement speed is halved.

The truly powerful ability is soul healing.

This ability is incredible; it can heal oneself or others, and not just superficial injuries, but also a mental healing that can completely eliminate fatigue.

After watching Lucci demonstrate his abilities, Ryuzaki sighed.

"Alright, it's getting late, I should go back. Garp lives in the village."

Ryuzaki stood up and slung the large box over his shoulder.

Before leaving, Ryuzaki said, "Lucci, Kalifa, although we are just tools, using us comes at a high price."

These words lingered in Kalifa and Lucci's minds.

Tools? Price?

Staring at the closed door, Lucci remained stunned for a long time.

"He's right, we are indeed tools, but…" Lucci grinned, "Even if we are tools, we can't be used for nothing!"

Because of Ryuzaki, Lucci's views had changed slightly.

He still held his own dark sense of justice.

However, the current Lucci didn't want to work for others for free.

Before, Lucci simply found Ryuzaki to his liking, but now, Lucci actually felt a bit of admiration for Ryuzaki.

After all, obtaining a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit from a Celestial Dragon wasn't something everyone could do.

### Chapter 45: Researching Cursed Swords and the Bandit Robbery

**One Piece Talent Reset System**

**Author: Flying from Beyond the Sky (Tianwai Feixiang)**

After returning home, Ryuzaki began researching information on cursed swords.

The Kitetsu series seemed to be entirely cursed swords.

Of course, based on Ryuzaki's guess, the one Shiryu of the Rain possessed was also a cursed sword.

Ryuzaki scratched his head; he really wanted to get his hands on a cursed sword to study.

Since he was forging a famous sword for the Celestial Dragons, he naturally wanted to achieve perfection.

"Yes, that's it."

Ryuzaki clenched his fist, deeply moved, determined to create the most perfect cursed sword to present to the Celestial Dragon, Bigezabi, to repay his Devil Fruit favor.

To this end, Ryuzaki made a decision: he would bring the Sandai Kitetsu to study.

But… it was a bit far. He remembered that in the original story, the Sandai Kitetsu appeared at a weapon shop in Loguetown!

If it were before, Ryuzaki wouldn't mind going, but now, with that old man Garp wandering around the village, Ryuzaki really didn't dare leave for too long.

Damn it, how long was that old geezer going to stay?

"Alright, let's try forging a kitchen knife with bad luck based on the literature in the materials first."

(Reference to Chapter 32: Robbing a Kitchen Knife)

The so-called "demon knife" is naturally a sword of the same level with an added layer of power that brings misfortune to its owner.

The forging process is naturally different from that of other swords.

However, since it's just an experiment, and it's a kitchen knife, many steps are omitted.

After seven days, a so-called "demon knife" was finally completed!

Looking at the "demon knife," which was no different from an ordinary kitchen knife, Ryuzaki felt quite calm.

Now, he just needed to find someone to test its effects. Who should he ask?

Just as Ryuzaki was fretting, someone delivered themselves to his doorstep!

"Quick, men, surround this blacksmith shop!"

"Hahahaha... that kid can't escape!"

A group of bandits quickly surrounded the blacksmith shop with lightning speed!

Moreover, they weren't carrying knives, but guns, clearly indicating a plan.

Ryuzaki peeked outside, and oh my god, isn't that... that guy?

Who was that again... Right, the bandits I fought off with two kitchen knives at the tavern last time, why are they here again?

The leader, that familiar face, that's right, you dare to beat up the red-haired bandits, you've got guts.

"Hahahaha, kid, remember me?"

"Uh—" Ryuzaki awkwardly scratched his head: "Sorry, I forgot your name!"

"Damn it!" The bandit leader angrily walked over and slammed a bounty poster against the window: "I'm the big bandit with a bounty of one million—Sieg!"

"Oh—I remember now, but your bounty wasn't that much last time!"

"Hmph, my bounty has increased, you idiot!"

"I see, congratulations."

"Enough nonsense, kid, I'm now a big bandit who's killed ten people, are you scared?"

"Scared, I'm really scared!"

"Hahahaha..."

Sieg laughed happily: "Good that you know you're scared, now, with one command, my men can turn you into a sieve, even if your kitchen knife is of the best quality, it won't be of any use."

"I see, you've upgraded your weapon, you're quite clever!"

Meeting twice in a row, it's fate!

Ryuzaki glanced at Sieg's talent.

- Talent: Basic Physical Fitness (41)

- Talent: Basic Strength (37)

- Talent: Basic Physical Skills (22)

- Talent: Basic Kendo (16)

- Talent: Basic Shooting (34)

Well, this guy is alright!

"So, Mr. Sieg, what brings you here? Do you want me to forge a kitchen knife?"

"Forge a kitchen knife? Hahahaha... We're bandits, of course we'll steal it."

After saying this, Sieg waved his hand: "Men, take all the knives from the blacksmith shop."

With Sieg's order, the bandits entered the blacksmith shop and started robbing kitchen knives.

This scene was quite bizarre.

A group of bandits robbing kitchen knives?

Is it because my kitchen knives are of such good quality? Or are you guys really hopeless?

Bandit Sieg proved with facts that the correct answer is both.

Ryuzaki watched from the side, watching these guys busily take away all the kitchen knives, but they looked down on the rare metals used to forge swords.

Okay, you don't know the value, so be it!

But why? Why?

You didn't even glance at the 500,000 Berries on the table?

*(Chapter 32: Robbery of the Kitchen Knife → Page 1/2)*

*(The chapter appears to cut off here in the provided text, likely continuing on the next page with the bandits experiencing the "cursed" effects of the experimental kitchen knife.)*

This is a machine-translated (or lightly edited) Chinese One Piece fanfiction novel where the protagonist Ryuzaki has a talent reset system, allowing him to view and redistribute talents. It's a comedic, overpowered story with harem elements in later chapters. If you'd like a summary of the plot so far, the next chapter, or more details, let me know!

Here's the next chapter in the fanfiction novel! I've formatted it cleanly for easy reading, just like before. This picks up right after the bandit kidnapping in Chapter 45. Enjoy the chaos—Ryuzaki's plan is unfolding perfectly!

**Chapter 46: Shaking Off Garp and Heading to Loguetown**

**One Piece Talent Reset System**

**Author: Flying from Beyond the Sky (Tianwai Feixiang)**

"Are you guys blind? Can't you see? Or is it not enough? Or are you completely illiterate and don't even recognize money?"

"Hahaha, boss, we've looted everything in the shop!"

"Are you blind, you damn fool?"

Sig slapped the smug underling across the face.

"Didn't you see? This kid has a kitchen knife."

And so, Ryuzaki's kitchen knife was also snatched away.

"Damn it..."

This scene was witnessed by Ace, the apprentice. Ace had just returned from running errands and saw a group of bandits robbing the blacksmith's shop, and he was furious!

Ace, being a man of principle, immediately rushed forward to teach the bandits a lesson.

However, he was quickly slapped away by bandit henchman C.

Seeing Ace about to rush forward again, Ryuzaki spoke up!

"Ace, stop!"

"Why? Are we just going to let them rob the blacksmith's shop like this?"

"Ace, being a coward is an art!"

"A devilish art!"

The robbery of the kitchen knives didn't end there. Sig and the other bandits not only stole all the knives but also kidnapped Ryuzaki!

"Ace—tell Maggie I'm going on a trip for a few days, tell her not to worry..."

"Ugh, damn it—why are you so calm, you bastard?"

Ace gritted his teeth. He wanted to save Ryuzaki, but he was powerless. This time, he truly understood his own weakness.

Garp was still in the village, but he was drinking and chatting with the village chief at the tavern.

Ace ran breathlessly to the tavern and told Garp everything.

"Pfft, hahaha... that kid actually said he's going on a trip for a few days?"

Garp laughed heartily after hearing this.

Makino, who also worked at the tavern, looked worried after hearing the story.

"Garp, you bastard, hurry up and rescue Ryuzaki!" The village chief practically roared at Garp.

"Well, wait a minute, I'll be right back."

The bandits hadn't gone far, and Garp quickly caught up!

But Garp was a little bewildered when he caught up.

Because after the bandits entered the forest, they scattered and fled!

It wasn't that these bandits had become smarter, but rather that Ryuzaki had given them some guidance.

Ryuzaki was just worried about how to shake off Garp, and now that he'd been kidnapped by the bandits, he could finally get rid of Garp and take some time to go to Loguetown.

After the bandits scattered, Ryuzaki was escorted by two henchmen.

One of the henchmen was the same one who had tried to harass Makino last time, only to have his foot chopped off by Ryuzaki.

This guy seemed to harbor a deep grudge against Ryuzaki and insisted on personally escorting him.

Not only that, the cleaver in his hand was the very "demon sword" that Ryuzaki had just forged that day.

The vengeful henchman cautiously glanced around, then grinned.

"Hehe, kid, I remember the grudge from last time!"

"What are you going to do?"

"Kid, you cut off my toe, today I'm going to chop off yours."

"Uh—your boss told you to safely escort me to your den of thieves."

"Hahahaha..." The vengeful bandit chuckled: "Too bad, too bad, our boss isn't here, and there's no one else around. Now, everything is up to me."

Ryuzaki glanced around; indeed, there was no one else.

(Reference to Chapter 33: Setting Up the Marked Gate)

"Well then—" Ryuzaki smiled, "Sorry, gentlemen!"

"Sorry? What do you mean? Hmph, whatever, kid, today I'll chop off your foot first."

The vengeful henchman, holding the demon sword cleaver, raised it, ready to strike.

For some unknown reason, the cleaver slipped from his hand and fell, landing squarely on his foot, severing his toes once again.

The vengeful henchman howled in pain.

The nameless henchman beside him was completely bewildered. Was this some kind of divine intervention? These days, seppuku isn't fashionable anymore; they've switched to cutting off toes!

"Tsk tsk, looks like this experimental demon sword is working!"

Ryuzaki chuckled, knocking the two bumbling thieves unconscious with a single punch each. Then, he opened an air portal, grabbed the two, and quickly disappeared into another dimension.

As for Garp, after searching the forest without finding him, he continued his pursuit.

However, after chasing for most of the day, Garp still couldn't find Ryuzaki.

Finally, Garp returned to Windmill Village, looking disheveled, and received a scolding from the village chief.

"A dignified naval hero, unable to even save a mere blacksmith? What use are you? You call yourself Iron Fist Garp? I think you're just Tofu Garp."

After being berated by the village chief while banging his cane, Garp felt utterly humiliated and deeply frustrated.

He thought to himself, "Back in the day, I, Garp, chased the Pirate King all over the world! How come I can't even save a little blacksmith now? And the kidnappers are just insignificant fry worth a million Berries."

The more Garp thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. What kind of situation was this?

Garp took out his Den Den Mushi and sought help from the resourceful Tsuru.

*(Chapter 46 End)*

*(Page 1/1 – This wraps up the bandit escape and sets Ryuzaki free to pursue the cursed sword in Loguetown!)*

---

What a hilarious chapter—Ryuzaki's "cowardly" escape plan works like a charm, and poor Garp gets roasted by the village chief! The demon kitchen knife curse is a nice touch too. If you want Chapter 47 (where Ryuzaki finally hits Loguetown and hunts for Sandai Kitetsu), just say the word. Or if you'd like a quick summary of the story so far, character breakdowns, or even fan theories about where this is headed, let me know!
