Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

"——Hey! Oden!!"

Xiaoyu's eyes widened and she was so shocked that she sat up straight away.

"Is Big Brother a samurai as strong as Lord Oden?!"

"Huh? Is that what you call a swordsman?"

Zoro looked calm, not really understanding their shock, and placed the knife on the table quite casually.

Luffy stretched his neck like a curious baby and put his face close to the Second Generation Kitetsu to take a closer look.

"Is this knife powerful? I don't see anything special about it."

Luffy grabbed the demon sword, threw it to his left hand, then to his right hand, and started playing with it. He blinked, felt a little bored, and threw it directly to Reiner.

"Now, here you go."

"Hey kid! That's a demon sword that will bring misfortune to people. It's not for you to play with like this!"

Fei Che was so anxious that his face turned red and he shouted at the two of them.

Reiner ignored it and pulled out the knife.

Kitetsu did not give off any ominous aura like Zoro just did. Reiner retracted the knife and threw it back to Kitetsu.

It's just an ordinary sword. Is it because he and Luffy are not swordsmen that they can't feel the curse?

Kitetsu: You misunderstood, brother. Do you think I have such a fierce sword?

After getting the sword back, Fei Che looked at Zoro with completely different eyes.

Thinking of the scene where Zoro had just suppressed Kitetsu, his thoughts became more certain. Having made up his mind, Kitetsu gritted his teeth, suppressed the shame in his heart, got up and ran back into the house.

The clanging noises left everyone in the living room puzzled.

After a while, he was seen coming out holding a wooden box wrapped in rags.

Sitting down, Fei Che quickly removed a layer of cloth, opened the lid of the wooden box and pushed it towards Zoro.

"The names of these two swords are [Ame-no-Habezan] and [Yanma], both of which are famous swords ranked among the 21st great swords, and were once worn by Kozuki Oden."

Hearing this, several people came forward curiously.

There were two long swords, one black and one white, placed parallel to each other inside, with the handles and the ends of the scabbards inlaid with gold.

"and then?"

Zoro looked puzzled, "What do you mean, you want to give them to me?"

He really dared to think so.

"Please forgive my rude request! I want to exchange with Nidaime Kitetsu or Yanma. No!"

boom!

"I am willing to offer both swords! I hope to exchange them for the precious sword Qiu Shui in your hand!"

Fei Che leaned down, slapped his hands on the floor and kowtowed heavily. He struggled internally and said with gritted teeth:

"A sword is life to a samurai! As a samurai, I feel ashamed to ask such a powerful samurai like you! But!"

"Ashisui is different! It means more to Wano Country than a famous sword. Even if it offends me, I have to make a request to you!"

"I know this knife is very important to you, but unfortunately, even if you say so, I can't exchange it with you."

Zoro said in a calm tone, reaching out and slowly pushing the wooden box back.

Luffy scratched his head in confusion.

"Why? It's a good deal to exchange one sword for two, right? Don't you like famous swords the most, Zoro?"

"This is not a question of whether it is cost-effective or not, idiot, let's talk about it."

Zoro glanced over unhappily.

"I'm a three-sword style guy, how do you want me to use the fourth sword?"

Ding!

Reiner has a good idea about this problem. You can put the fourth sword behind you and use the four-sword style in the future.

But then again, there is no shortage of famous swords on their ship. He has an unrivaled sword [Gakudo Fireline] in his hand, and [Sakura Ten] and [Bokuto] are even placed in Sanji's kitchen.

Zoro would never be short of swords, and he had no intention of changing them; not to mention that he was already used to them, what was more important was that those three swords were of great significance to Zoro and could not be measured by specific values.

"Sure enough. It still doesn't work."

Fei Che dug his nails into the floor.

The national treasure Qiu Shui is right before his eyes, but he is powerless to do anything!

Under the mask, tears couldn't be held back and flowed from the corners of his eyes.

Seeing that he was not going to get up, Zoro took back his sword. Looking at the Autumn Water in his hand, he remembered what Reiner said when he handed it to him. Zoro sighed:

"I'm sorry, but these three swords were entrusted to me by others. I promised to take them to the throne of the world's number one swordsman. No matter what conditions you offer, I will not hand over the swords."

"master."

Xiaoyu pursed her lips, feeling a little overwhelmed. It was hard for her master, who had always been calm and valued samurai traditions, to believe that he would behave so humble and disrespectful.

Then, she walked to Fei Che and knelt down and kowtowed as well, her voice clear but full of sadness.

"Please forgive Master, Brother Zoro! He just wanted to get Shusui back for Wano Country so badly."

"Because it has been rumored that the invasion of the evil dragon Kaido was caused by the theft of the sword of Ryuma, the guardian god of Wano Country."

"Everyone is thinking that if Qiu Shui can be found one day, this country might be able to escape from the dire straits. Master must be so excited for this reason!"

Xiaoyu pleaded loudly, tears coming out of the corners of her tightly closed eyes.

"Hey, hey, hey, you don't have to be like this. I don't care about what happened just now, but..."

锔.

Zoro drew out his sword, held it horizontally in front of him, stared at the blade, and said slowly:

"If you put your hope on a sword, shouldn't you risk your life and point it at the enemy? If I give you this sword, will Kaido tremble and leave Wano Country?"

"Waiting for fate to save you, if this is the extent of a samurai, then this country..."

The words stopped abruptly, and Zoro calmly retracted the knife.

Although I don't want to say it too harshly, this is the fact.

A miracle may happen, but it would be foolish to sit back and wait for it to happen.

"shame"

"It is a shame for me!"

Fei Che's tears streamed down his cheeks, and his entire body seemed to be frozen, unable to straighten his back any longer.

A feeling of despair and powerlessness surged into his heart, blood oozed out from between his teeth. Fei Che looked back on his life, which was full of hateful helplessness.

The national treasure is right in front of us but we can’t take it back!

They even made such rude requests to the guests!

I failed to stop Oden from going to sea back then!

Failed to stop Kaido's invasion, Kurozumi Orochi plots to usurp the throne!

Failed to stop the boiling oil pan from burning Oden Oden to death!

Failed to prevent the destruction of the family!!

His life was full of failures!

"This bastard should have committed seppuku 20 years ago!"

"after all.!"

"What on earth am I waiting for that I have survived till now?!"

Fei Che's eyes were red and bloodshot. He clenched his palms and dug his nails into his flesh, screaming at the top of his lungs in hatred of his own incompetence.

Under the impact of multiple mental sorrows, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.

boom.

As he suddenly fell to the ground, everyone was startled and stood up quickly.

"master!"

"What's wrong with you, uncle!"

"It's too much for a knife!"

"Doctor! Call Chopper over here!"

It was not until midnight when the sun set in the west and the setting sun shone on the barren land of Jiuli. Birds looking for food flew across the sunset and returned to the depths of the bamboo forest.

The dim light shining through the dilapidated cabin brought a sense of sadness, and several figures sat at the door in a daze.

At this time, Chopper walked out of the room with a wet towel he had just changed, and Xiaoyu hurriedly stood up worriedly.

"How is the master?"

"Look at his pulse. Uncle's condition has stabilized. He just needs to rest."

"Great!"

Xiaoyu's worried face finally showed joy.

"Thank you, Doctor Chopper."

"Doctor or something, I won't be happy even if you call me that, you bastard~~"

Chopper had a shy look on his face, showing enjoyment as he raised his butt and shook it from side to side.
