!!!
"Wh... what?!!"
Hearing this, Zoro jumped up in shock, shouting incredulously.
But immediately following that was a surge of intense joy. His gaze fell on the White Snow in Koushirou's hand, and he spoke, his voice trembling,
"Mas... Master, are you serious? This sword, you're really giving it to me?!"
Zoro couldn't help but swallow. The White Snow before his eyes was clearly no ordinary blade.
He just didn't know how it compared to Kuina's Wado Ichimonji.
Every time before, when he saw Kuina holding and wiping her Wado Ichimonji, he could only feel envy.
But,
not anymore. From now on, he was a person with a sword too!!
He could also sit on a big rock under the moonlight, take out his sword, then take out a cloth and wipe it slowly!!
Seeing Zoro's uncontrollably excited reaction, Koushirou showed a smile.
"Of course it's true!"
"You are my disciple, about to leave for Marine Headquarters. As your master, of course I must give a parting gift!"
Saying this, Koushirou sheathed the White Snow in his hand. As he handed it to Zoro, he said,
"This sword is named White Snow. From now on, it is yours! I hope you treat it well!"
"For a true swordsman, a sword is not our tool, but our partner!"
"Understand, Zoro?"
"Understood!!"
Zoro straightened his body and shouted loudly. Then, full of excitement, he tremblingly took the White Snow from Koushirou's hands.
When the weight of the sword was transmitted clearly and unmistakably, Zoro was still a bit dazed, lost in the immense joy.
"Mister Koushirou, do you have any other swords? Give me one too!"
At this moment, Kyle's voice came from the side.
Koushirou's smile immediately froze on his face. He turned to look at Kyle and said unhappily,
"No! Not a single one left!"
"And you already have Purple Lightning, do you still need other swords?"
Once again, as a member of a famous sword-smithing family, it's normal to know a bit more about swords, right?
So Koushirou easily recognized the origin of the Purple Lightning in Kyle's hand.
However, there was one thing he was very curious about: how did Kyle obtain this Supreme Grade Blade that had disappeared from history for who knows how many years?
Of course, he was just a bit curious, but he wouldn't ask.
Maybe he got it from the Marine reserves? After all, his grandfather is the famous Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku!!
"Tsk, stingy!"
Kyle curled his lip.
Koushirou: ....
Shaking his head, Koushirou decided not to continue arguing with Kyle on this topic. Instead, he asked,
"How do you plan to get to Marine Headquarters when you set sail tomorrow?"
"I had a nearby Marine branch send a warship!"
"We'll take the warship through the Calm Belt. It won't take long to get there!"
"Is that so!"
Koushirou nodded, then suddenly showed a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"In that case, before you set sail, shall we go to the village for a good meal?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Zoro's eyes beside him immediately lit up, and he chimed in at once,
"Good, good!!"
"I have no objection!"
Kuina also walked over at this time.
"Then it's settled!"
Koushirou said with a laugh, turning his gaze to Kyle.
"Kyle, I know you are very rich, so this meal is on you!"
Kyle: ???
666! You invite, I pay, is that it?
Although he wanted to complain a bit, Kyle also walked with them towards the village.
Koushirou was indeed right, he was very rich, so he didn't really care about this!
Not long after, the four arrived in the village, heading towards the restaurant.
They were talking and laughing, but then they suddenly heard a commotion coming from ahead.
The commotion was accompanied by a scream and faint, indistinct pleas for mercy.
Kyle narrowed his eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately released his Observation Haki. The next second, his brows deeply furrowed.
'Why is this swine here?'
There's only one kind in this world worthy of the beautiful title 'swine'.
That would be the so-called descendants of the world's creators, who shout 'lowly commoners' every day, the Celestial Dragons!
Under the name of descendants of creators, they commit the most murder, arson, and pillage.
They must have slaves accompany them when they travel, and if they fancy someone, they forcibly take them as slaves.
Their tempers are also capricious, killing people at the drop of a hat.
Most crucially, almost no one dares to attack them. Once a Celestial Dragon is attacked, a Marine Admiral will definitely be dispatched.
Normally, there are very few matters that require an Admiral to act. Even a destructive weapon like the Buster Call doesn't necessarily have an Admiral assigned.
The Marines, oh, no!
The World Government does this to demonstrate the deterrent power of the Celestial Dragons, making pirates or others hesitate, not daring to attack a Celestial Dragon. Otherwise, what awaits you is a Marine Admiral.
The effectiveness of this is naturally very useful. Nowadays, indeed, not many people in the world dare to attack Celestial Dragons. They are like walking nuclear weapon detonation buttons.
They themselves have little strength, but once you touch them, the nuclear weapon explodes.
This deterrent power is immense.
At this moment, on a street a few hundred meters away from Kyle and the others, there was such a swine Celestial Dragon.
Beside him were several CP organization members in black suits and several slaves in prisoner uniforms.
These slaves all had dull eyes now, their eyes filled with nothing but gray defeat, not a shred of light.
And this swine Celestial Dragon was currently pulling on a young girl's arm, dragging her incessantly.
The girl struggled constantly, her eyes full of tears, crying out loudly,
"No! I don't want to be a slave!! I don't want to!"
Behind the girl was a middle-aged couple, seemingly her parents. They were holding the girl's other hand, crying out to the swine Celestial Dragon before them,
"Celestial Dragon-sama!! Please let our daughter go. We'll give you all the Berries in our house, give you everything, just please let our daughter go!"
"I'm kneeling for you, is that okay?"
After saying this, the couple knelt right there on the ground.
"Vile lowly commoners, what are you doing?!!"
"Does the great Barlinxs Saint-sama care about your paltry Berries?"
Barlinxs's eyes flashed with anger. It was their honor that he fancied their daughter. These vile lowly commoners actually dared to obstruct him.
In that case, he would kill them first!!
Thinking this, Barlinxs took out a pistol from his bosom and aimed it at the couple.
The surrounding villagers, seeing this scene, couldn't help but turn their heads away, unable to bear watching the bloody scene.
Although they were usually neighbors with the girl's family, facing this situation, not a single one of them dared to step forward to help.
Fear of the Celestial Dragons was deeply engraved in their minds. Everyone knew that defying a Celestial Dragon would definitely lead to the whole family attending a funeral feast.
Seeing this situation, the couple was also full of fear, their bodies trembling slightly, but they still did not let go of their daughter's hand.
The couple held each other and closed their eyes.
Even if they died, they would not abandon their daughter.
"Go and die!!"
Barlinxs roared, excitement in his eyes. Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger at the couple.
Bang,
...
