Pirate: I am King Luffy

Shanks didn't want to discuss getting on the ship with Luffy and only responded to the part about swordsmanship.

"That's not teaching at all. I didn't learn anything."

"Shanks clearly promised me that he would teach me swordsmanship!"

"Hola~ Luffy, why are you pestering my Shanks!"

Uta came over following the pirates' laughter and chatter. Luffy didn't play with her today, even though Luffy's body had obviously returned to normal.

Then when she saw Luffy and Shanks together, she rushed over and hugged Shanks' legs as if declaring her sovereignty.

Her face was puffed up.

Luffy: "Uta, you came just in time. You heard it, right? You promised to teach me swordsmanship."

"Yeah, but didn't Shanks teach you later?" The girl's rabbit ears bent down.

"That doesn't even count..." Luffy said.

"Well... I did teach you, but you can't blame me if you don't understand. Maybe you will understand when you grow up."

Shanks spread his hands.

"Why do I have to grow up to know? I don't want to grow up so quickly."

Luffy is not someone who can be easily fooled.

“There’s really no difference between children and adults.”

"This is really troublesome..." Shanks looked at Luffy who was not easy to fool.

"I have forgotten what it felt like to hold a sword for the first time."

Shanks drew out the famous sword Griffin and looked at the reflection of his face on the blade.

Luffy noticed that Shanks was holding the knife in his left hand.

"Would you like to try it? My Lord's sword." Shanks restrained his frivolousness. He turned the blade of Griffin upside down, revealing the handle.

Luffy reached out to grab it without hesitation, and as Shanks let go, the famous sword fell directly down.

Good weight!

Luffy couldn't catch it at all, so he subconsciously used Haki.

call out!

Griffin inserted himself into the planking.

Luffy's hand was still on the handle of Griffin. Even with the use of Haki, he was unable to stop the heavy sword from falling.

How can there be such a heavy knife?

Luffy was speechless.

"It's heavy, isn't it? This is the world of swordsmen."

Shanks lifted Griffin and slowly put it back into the sheath.

"Luffy, why are you learning swordsmanship? Your fists are strong, right? If you just want to defeat the enemy, a gun and fists are enough."

"To be more handsome!"

Luffy crossed his arms.

Give the answer seriously.

"Come on, the action of making a sword flower and then sheathing it is really cool!" Luffy gave a thumbs up.

Whether you act serious or casual, it's super cool!

Chapter 66: Frost Moon's Knife

"That's a very Luffy-like answer, right? I think so too. The action of slowly sheathing the sword is super cool!"

Shanks put his arm around Luffy's waist and agreed with his answer.

Boys like cool things and they don’t need any more reasons!

"When I was your age, I used a stick to cut all the grass on the island in half!"

"Let me tell you, that stick has a really nice shape, straight and long, split on both sides, and a natural handle!"

"That kid Bucky tried to snatch it from me, but I refused to let him... He was obviously using a machete."

As if Shanks' G-spot was touched, he talked incessantly about the story of how he used to sweep across the world holding the branch.

"Boys' interests are always so weird." Uta looked at Shanks and Luffy talking and laughing, his face puffed up.

But Shanks is so cute like this!

Uta thought.

If I were cooler, people would admire me more.

But how can girls be cooler?

"Shanks, who is Buggy?" She was very interested in Shanks' past.

"Bucky..." Shanks recalled Buggy's big red nose.

"He and I were as close as you and Luffy, except that I scared him and Buggy swallowed a devil fruit..."

Shanks looked at Luffy and Uta, and unknowingly saw himself and Buggy.

Back then, they were the only two kids on Roger's ship. Their same age made them very close to each other until Buggy accidentally swallowed a devil fruit.

"I really miss it. I used to be a dual-blade swordsman..."

Shanks put his hand on Griffin at his waist.

"By the way, what Luffy asked for is pretty easy to do. If it's just for this level, just find a swordsmanship teacher to learn from."

Shanks felt that Luffy's request was not very difficult, it just required him to look cool.

"I'll find you a teacher who can teach you basic swordsmanship, how about that?" Shanks asked Luffy.

"Then I want a top-notch teacher to teach me. I don't like ordinary people!"

Luffy replied.

"I see... I've noticed before that there are some swordsmen who are proficient in the Wano Country's sword art in the East China Sea..."

"Beckman, help me get the nautical chart." Shanks shouted loudly.

Beckman, who was on the second floor, dropped the scroll tied with a rubber band.

As the scroll unfolded, Luffy saw the seagull logo on the corner.

This nautical chart is used by the navy.

"Let me see the nearby islands..."

Shanks was looking at the map of the East China Sea. Uta and Luffy also came over, and the three heads bumped into each other.

"Found it, Shimotsuki Village. This surname is closely related to Wano Country."

Shanks quickly locked onto the key words on the nautical chart.

"Wano Country?" Uta unlocked a new word and looked at Shanks in confusion.

"Captain Roger invited a swordsman from Wano Country to board the ship. He was a man named Oden. He was very strong. He took on the captain's divine ward without dying..."

Shanks said to Uta, "Wano Country is a relatively closed country that is rich in swordsmen. Through Oden, I also know a little about the Shimotsuki clan. They seem to be very good at forging swords..."

"There should be no one in the East China Sea who knows swordsmanship better than them."

"Guys, change course, we're heading to Shimokatsuki Village!"

Shanks threw the sea chart back to the second floor and shouted loudly.

"Oh!"

The pirates on the ship cheered.

Beckman operated the boat, turning according to the coordinates on the nautical chart.

Luffy was a bit unlucky. He didn't expect to hear news about the good man Oden from Shanks.

However, because of this, he paid less attention to Shimotsuki Village.

"Captain, with Luffy's skills, ordinary swordsmen can't teach him, right?"

A pirate asked a question.

Relying on his strength alone, he can give the opponent a great sense of oppression just by swinging the blade.

Just like when Luffy fought against the swordsman on Red Hair’s ship, the other man only needed to make a slight move to defeat him at the limit of Luffy’s level.

Learn something? It's just a one-sided beating.

The pirates were not optimistic about the East China Sea, as they did not know if there was any famous master who could teach Luffy swordsmanship.

"Believe in the reputation of the Shimotsuki clan a little. The Wado Ichimonji is one of the famous swords they forged."

"Besides, teaching others has nothing to do with being strong yourself."

"Really? Boss, that Wado Ichimonji was actually forged by Shimotsuki?"

The pirates couldn't believe it.

It is normal that a knife is more famous than its forger.

Many swordsmen have only heard of the legend of the famous sword, but do not know who forged it.

"That's... one of the twenty-one great swords!"

"What is that?" Uta saw that the pirates were all very surprised.

"A famous sword refers to a weapon with strong performance, and is also a weapon forged by a famous craftsman.

According to the rank, it is divided into [Fifty Good Swords], [Twenty-one Great Swords], and [Twelve Supreme Great Swords]. Among them, Wado Ichimonji is a famous sword of the Twenty-one Great Swords. It is said that there are only twenty-one in the world!"

The pirates tell Utakop about the outdated settings.

In the later period, the name of the weapon that appeared was just the word "famous sword".

"Having a good weapon can greatly improve a swordsman. Although relying on Haki can improve the performance of a weapon, the effort required to refine scrap iron into good steel is completely incomparable to having good steel from the beginning."

"What level is Shanks' sword?" Uta asked, looking at the rapier on Shanks' waist.

"Well..." Shanks looked at the Griffin on his waist.

"It will undoubtedly be the most powerful sword in the world."

"Shanks is so handsome!"

Uta rubbed Shanks' knee, with little stars twinkling in his eyes.

The pirates are full of anticipation for arriving at Shimotsuki Village.

……

Navy Headquarters.

Garp was boxing in an abandoned harbor. Acting as a sandbag was a huge abandoned warship. The warship had been destroyed beyond recognition by strange forces. Garp just punched again and again, using his physical strength to bombard the warship.

Next to him was a young man who, like him, was using an abandoned warship to practice boxing.

"Aokiji, my grandson hasn't called me for a long time!"

"Damn it! Shanks must have done this!"

"What does it have to do with me..."

Aokiji, like Garp, simply used his physical strength to bombard the warship.

"Please ask for leave for me. I want to go back to the East China Sea!"

In a bad mood, Garp punched the warship, causing the entire huge warship to tremble.

This is the terrifying feat of an ant shaking an elephant, which makes people sigh, the flesh is really magical!
