I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

Wano Country is the origin of sea stone.

Looking at the world, only the people of Wano Country have mastered the exquisite processing techniques for sea stone.

Sieg immediately thought of seastone.

Koushirou was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said:

"Mr. Sig is joking. This is certainly not a product of sea stone. It was just that the forging technique of the Great Sword Shusui was imitated during its creation, which is why it has a high degree of hardness."

"After all, there aren't many swordsmen in this world who actually use seastone to forge their swords."

The most distinctive feature of the Great Sharp Sword Shusui is its extreme hardness; it is said that even if a dinosaur stepped on it, it would not bend by a single millimeter.

The straight-bladed longsword that Koushirou gave away was just a prototype and not among the famous swords, but in terms of hardness alone, it was still very high.

Chapter 88 Clues to the Seastone Craftsmen

Koushirou gave a brief explanation of the situation regarding the sea stone swords.

The world's most powerful swordsmen often possess considerable Armament Haki, which is enough for them to fight against Devil Fruit users, making the Seastone Sword unnecessary.

At the same time, only Wano Country has the capability to process seastone into swords, and even if seastone swords do exist, their production must be very limited.

In addition to being the master of Isshin Dojo, Koushirou also inherited the sword-making skills of Shimotsuki Kousaburo.

The longsword he gave to Sieg was also forged by his own hands.

But this is completely different from the processing of sea stone.

"Oh? So if I want to forge a Seastone sword, I have no choice but to go to Wano Country?"

Sieg looked slightly disappointed.

Other swordsmen might not need a Seastone sword, but for Sig, a swordsman who doesn't know how to cut people, a Seastone sword might be more useful than any chainsaw sword or wolf fang sword that Sig has made himself.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

In the original work, only Smoker has a jitte inlaid with seastone as a weapon.

The navy clearly possesses a large reserve of seastone and is already able to use it extensively in warships, cages, shackles, and so on.

But none of them were actually used to forge swords.

This shows that even the World Government does not possess the technology to process Seastone swords, or rather, it is strictly controlled and rarely seen.

Upon hearing this, Koushirou hesitated for a moment, then said:

"Perhaps... it's not necessary to go to Wano Country."

"More than one person has left Wano Country."

"The ship that sailed away from Wano Country back then seemed to have had several sea stone craftsmen on board, but they did not stay in the East Blue, but instead sailed into the Grand Line together."

Sig's eyes lit up, but Koushirou's next words dampened his excitement.

"However, this happened decades ago, and we don't know if those craftsmen are still on the Grand Line or if they have any descendants."

"If Mr. Sig wants Seastone swords, perhaps you can look for them in the underground black market of the Grand Line. Maybe you can find clues about those people there."

Koushirou reminded him.

These words stirred something within Sieg, but also caused his spirits to dip slightly.

Speaking of the black market in the underworld, it reminded him of a certain king of the underworld.

If Stussy had been willing to admit it was delicious a couple of days ago, perhaps I could have made contact with the seastone craftsmen who might be on the black market through Stussy...

............

While Sieg was thinking about Stussy.

On the pirate ship docked at the pier, Stussy was staring blankly at the Den Den Mushi on board.

This Den Den Mushi is the one she brought from the ship last night.

Stussy hesitated, wondering whether he should take advantage of Sig's trip to Frostmoon Village to report what might have happened to him the previous night.

"If Sig has discovered my contact with CP0, then my mission has failed, and I must go back and bear the wrath of the Celestial Dragons."

"If he didn't discover it, then this Den Den Mushi might not be safe; it could be a trap."

Stussy hesitated.

She had to proceed with caution against such a formidable opponent as Sieg.

Last night, Sieg only punished her by making her cook one meal, but next time, she might not be so lucky...

Just as he was hesitating, Stussy suddenly felt several gazes directed at him.

She naturally looked away from the Den Den Mushi and continued mopping the floor diligently.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the bandits who were looking in her direction.

"Is this such blatant surveillance...? If you're going to put on a show, why not at least do it properly?"

If Stussy wanted to take action, she could easily deal with these bandits, but then she would have a hard time explaining herself to Sig.

However, with these people watching over him, Stusi felt a little more at ease.

At least she no longer needed to guess whether the Den Den Mushi in front of her was a trap.

.............

After talking in the attic, Koushirou and Seig returned to the dojo.

Upon seeing Sig, Ivankov stood up.

“Sigurd Boy, you’ve come at the right time. We have enough food and are planning to leave Frostmoon Village.”

Sieg paused slightly, but nodded in agreement, though a hint of bitterness lingered in his expression.

"Perfect timing, I was just about to leave too."

Last night, Stussy had a secret conversation with CP0 and revealed that the Revolutionary Army was currently in Shimotsuki Village, making the place unsafe.

Sieg couldn't tell the Revolutionary Army about Stussy's situation, otherwise it would be hard to explain why Sieg didn't take action against Stussy.

“Sig..…”

Zoro, holding a wooden sword in each hand and a third in his mouth, mumbled:

"When we meet again, I will not lose to you again. I will surpass you and become the world's greatest swordsman!"

"Is Mr. Sig leaving?"

Upon hearing Sig’s words, Guina, whose arm was still in a cast, walked over.

However, when Sieg saw Kuina clearly, he couldn't help but take a step back.

Because he saw that Guina was holding a chainsaw in her hand, and it was making a constant buzzing sound.

"what happened?"

Sig looked at the bald man and the others beside him with a black line on his face.

His Justice Set, including the Wolf Fang Sword and the Chainsaw Sword, which had been handed over to his subordinates, is now in Kuina's hands.

"I'm a little curious about Mr. Sig's sword..."

Kuina turned off the chainsaw and said somewhat embarrassedly.

After saying that, he planned to return the chainsaw to Sig.

"No need. Since you like this chainsaw sword, I'll give it to you."

“Your father gave me a sword, so as a return gift, I will also give you a sword as a memento. It’s just right.”

Sieg smiled and said casually.

Baldy had bought a few chainsaw swords as spares, so buying more wouldn't be difficult.

Koushirou, standing behind Sig, gradually stiffened his smile.

He suddenly felt a little regretful for giving Sieg a sword.

Who would give someone a chainsaw as a return gift for their ten-year-old daughter?! That's just too good to be true!

"Is it alright? But this is Mr. Sig's chainsaw sword, is it really appropriate for me to carry it?"

"It's alright, you can pay me back when you become the world's number one female swordsman... um?"

Halfway through his sentence, Sieg suddenly felt a strong sense of déjà vu.

A bizarre scene flashed through his mind.

He smiled, patted Kuina's head, and handed her a chainsaw almost as tall as the girl:

"This is my beloved chainsaw. When you become the world's number one female swordsman, remember to return it to me."

And so began the legend of Kuina, the chainsaw-wielding swordswoman.

Chapter 89 The Secret to Sig's Power

The day.

The refugee fleet, or rather the revolutionary army fleet, which had stayed in Shimotsuki Village for a few days, set off again.

A small banquet is being held on a sailboat surrounded by a dragon.

"Mr. Sig, are you really unwilling to join our revolutionary army? Do you want to part ways with us here?"

"Dragon asked with some regret."

"I'm a bandit, though I'm now at sea. Dragon, isn't it a bit naive of you to talk about freedom and ideals with a bandit?"

“Mountain bandits? Mr. Sig, listen to what these refugees call you.”

Long pointed directly at the other ships around him, and the others understood and began to shout in unison.

"Hero Sig!"

"A hero who fought against the Celestial Dragons!"

Sieg smiled and took a big gulp of his drink.
