One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 507: Twenty-one Great Works, Famous Sword - Hualiu

"This kingdom isn't big, but there are still a lot of things, right?"

Luke looked at the mountains of treasures in the treasury in front of him and couldn't help but say that even he was a little dazzled by all the treasures that were placed here in different categories.

"This should be for the Heavenly Gold. This country is not that rich. The Heavenly Gold needed to become a member of the World Government is largely plundered from the people everywhere, so we plan to return these to their original owners. Of course, some things originally belonged to the royal family. In any case, the money here should be enough for the weapons this time."

Kokosis had already sent people to take a simple inventory of the situation inside. Just before she came in, the revolutionary soldier guarding the gate reported a terrifying number in her ear.

"You definitely won't need so many. What we're giving you this time are just some basic weapons, and they're sold at cost price. They don't amount to much. You don't have to be so nervous, hahahahahaha."

Luke smiled and patted Kokosis' shoulder. He could see that Kokosis was a little nervous. After all, he provided them with a lot of weapons. If it was somewhere else, it would definitely be a large expense. But for Baishou, it was really not much money. Because of the birth of assembly line production, the manufacturing prices of these standard weapons have been compressed crazily. Although they are not cheap, just in terms of cost price, Baishou can make four or five of the same gun produced in other places. So even though the amount given is not small, it is actually not expensive.

Only the special weapons taken down from the Beast Ship were more expensive, but those weapons were cannons and the like, and they were not used much in total. Luke and his companions were not so stingy, so they simply refused to take the money.

While Luke was still comforting Kokosis, the others had already begun estimating the value of the items in the treasure house. They needed to give a reasonable offer, and for a while everyone was picking and choosing. What's more, although most of the items in there were mundane things such as gold, precious metals, gems, and artworks, there were also some good things, such as the inconspicuous item that Kikunojo was holding in his hand.

The thing in Kikunosuke's hand looked like a wooden stick, and also a bit like a cane. It looked a bit weird, but since Kikunosuke discovered it, he never took his eyes off it.

"Hmm? Found something good?"

Luke looked at Kikunosuke in a daze holding the thing in his hand, and walked up to him and asked curiously. In fact, he wanted to pat Kikunosuke on the shoulder just now, but thinking of Kikunosuke's situation, Luke thought it would be better not to be too intimate. After all, although they planned to pretend to be a couple later, it was fake.

"I didn't expect it to be here. My brother and I have been looking for it for many years, but I didn't expect it to be here."

Kikunojo looked at the stick in her hand and murmured, not noticing that Luke had come behind her. All her attention was attracted by the stick in her hand.

"Hey, hey, hey! Aju! Aju!"

Seeing that Kikunojo was completely in a trance, Luke no longer cared about the etiquette between men and women. He grabbed Kikunojo's shoulders and began to shake him. He suspected that Kikunojo was possessed by an evil spirit, and began to shout Kikunojo's name loudly in the same way as A-Zu, hoping to call back Kikunojo's soul.

"Ah? Ah? What's wrong?"

After Luke's violent shaking, Kikunojo finally came back to his senses and looked at Luke with a blank face, wondering why Luke was so anxious.

"Are you okay? You were so scary just now. You looked like you lost your soul."

Luke asked, looking at Kikunojo with a worried look on his face.

"Ah? Oh, it's okay, it's okay. I just didn't expect that my family heirloom would be here. I was a little excited for a moment. Don't worry."

Kikunojo also realized what happened and immediately began to comfort Luke. "Heirloom? Didn't you say that you and your brother have been that thing since childhood? It's almost the same as that little girl Ruoye, that thing."

Luke had talked about the past with Kikunosuke more than once before. In fact, both of them came from poor backgrounds. Kikunosuke won't say much about it, but Luke's family was not well off either. In fact, except for a few individuals, who with a good family would become a pirate? After all, it's a job that can cost you your life.

"Yes, my brother and I were indeed young singers back then, but that was because our family fell into decline. In fact, my family was originally a famous samurai family, and our family's Hanayagi-ryu is also inherited. The swordsmanship of my family's Hanayagi-ryu refers to the movements of the traditional dance drama of Wano Country. This is why my brother and I know those songs and dances, because these are considered family heirlooms, and this sword is my family's heirloom treasure."

As Kikunojo said this, he twisted the stick in his hand. With a slight click, a tiny crack appeared on the stick. Then, a sharp blade with a cold glow was pulled out by Kikunojo. The gorgeous patterns on the blade looked like petals, and also a bit like willow leaves.

"The twenty-first great sword of the Great Business, the famous sword - Hualiu."

As Kikunojo spoke, he gently swung the blade in his hand, and a scene that surprised Luke appeared. Originally, the slash made by Kikunojo was blue-green, but now it turned into light pink. At the same time, this light pink slash also carried an illusion like cherry blossoms.

“This, this, this…”

Luke pointed at the slash and was so shocked that he couldn't speak. It was the first time he saw a person's slash have such a beautiful effect. And just by changing a weapon, he achieved such an effect. It was really amazing. If he hadn't seen Lily's bloody slash, he would even suspect that this knife had eaten a devil fruit.

"Yes, that's it. Flower and willow, sword in the wood, like a flower and a willow. Sure enough, I was not mistaken."

Kikunojo's face was filled with joy. She finally confirmed that this weapon with an extremely plain appearance was her family's heirloom. After all, she was too young at the time and had only heard her brother talk about this weapon. This was the first time she saw it. This knife had been stolen by someone else during her grandfather's generation. They, the descendants, could only admire this heirloom in books. Of course, Kikunojo didn't even have the chance to admire it in a book. After all, her family had been in decline since she was old enough to understand.

And now, based on the attack just now, Kikunosuke can be 100% sure that this is the heirloom of her family. She didn't expect that it would return to her hands in such a miraculous way.

"Huh - the twenty-first work of Daiyewu? It seems our reward has been announced this time."

Luke exhaled, calmed down his shocked mood and said, the price of a great 21-work weapon outside is not low, even more expensive than some devil fruits. After all, although devil fruits are precious, there are only a few of them. Except for some special devil fruits, the rest of the devil fruits are not that precious. These famous swords are different. There are only so many of them. Although theoretically, these weapons can still be made, how many people can make such weapons! Even for old Thorin, who once made the supreme great 12-work weapon, it is difficult for him to make a good weapon. After all, this thing actually depends on luck. It is not just good skills that can make it. It also requires the so-called soul.

"Hmm? Have you picked it out yet?"

When Kokosis heard Luke's words, he turned from the other side and asked Luke. He had just gone to discuss the price with the business manager, and heard Luke's words as soon as he came back. He was a little curious about how Luke and his team had selected the spoils they needed so quickly.

"Ah, I have chosen it. A great sword of the Great Business Class, which is enough to replace all the weapons I have given you."

Luke said, pointing at Hanayagi in Kikunosuke's arms.

"A great sword? Oh? That's a precious item. Congratulations on getting a treasure. But you didn't just give me a weapon. You contributed more in the battle. Please choose something else. A sword alone is not enough to repay your kindness."
