Pirate: I am King Luffy

"The man who forged the Wado Ichimonji?!!"

The pirates exclaimed and looked at the old man in front of them in disbelief. This man was the craftsman who could forge famous swords?

"I'm a little curious, where do you know so much information about Wano Country?"

Kosaburo Shimotsuki was somewhat confused by Shanks' erudition.

At this point, Shanks' crew members straightened their backs visibly, as if they were preparing for something incredible.

Shanks smiled gently.

"I once went on adventures on the sea with Oden."

"Oden?!!!"

Hear the news.

Even Shimotsuki Kosaburo was not calm.

"Are you... a member of the Pirate King's crew?"

He cried out in surprise.

Shanks' crew members felt a great sense of satisfaction at this moment.

In a small place like Donghai, it's really not easy to meet someone who knows what he is talking about.

The title of the previous chapter was blocked and I was forced to change the name. It is really against the will of heaven.

Chapter 74 The Origin of Shimotsuki Village

Kozuki Oden only appeared on two pirate ships, one was Whitebeard's, and the other was the ship of Pirate King Roger.

The relationship structure of the Whitebeard Pirates destined them to live in the New World and not be willing to travel around.

Then the only possibility is that they are the crew members of Pirate King Roger.

After all, Shanks doesn't have the temperament of a samurai, and it's impossible that he is the one who followed Oden from Wano Country.

Having been a pirate for a while, Shimotsuki Kosaburo is fully aware of the value of the red-haired man in front of him.

Because those were the crew members around Roger, and none of them who were favored by that man were weak.

"Shanks, this guy, is he actually a samurai?"

Luffy also felt it was outrageous. He looked at the old man in front of him and wondered how come there was such a powerful person in Zoro's hometown?

When he traveled through time, One Piece had not yet ended, so naturally he would not be able to predict the future and obtain information about this place.

Moreover, the old man in front of him was not strong enough. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary passerby.

"It feels so lame."

"How rude! I was also a handsome man back then." Shimotsuki Kosaburo chuckled.

There is an inexplicable feeling of secret satisfaction rising in my heart, this is the pleasure of showing off.

Is there anything more fulfilling than being mentioned by the crew of One Piece?

"Does father know these pirates?"

Shimotsuki Koshiro asked as he looked at his father who was becoming happy, holding the big pot and the ingredients.

Shimotsuki Kozaburo was silent for a moment, looking at the quiet moonlight outside, and told Shanks, and then his son, about the past:

"We sailed for three years and arrived in the East China Sea. We happened to encounter bandits attacking the village, so we wiped out the bandits. The other nine people and I decided to settle down here and founded Shimokatsuki Village."

"We intermarried with the girls in the village and have reproduced until now. That child should also have Shuangyue's blood."

Shimotsuki Kozaburou looked at the green-haired child.

Shimotsuki Koshiro was obviously a little surprised, "Is Zoro also Shimotsuki?"

"It should be that the Shimotsuki woman married a man from the village. He is Roronoa after all."

Shimotsuki Kozaburo said, "That's the matter of the village on the other side of the mountain. I can only guess based on the situation. After all, we seldom interacted with each other after settling here."

"I didn't expect such a thing would happen." Shimotsuki Kosaburo looked at Zoro, somewhat surprised.

"Eh? Me?" Roronoa Zoro Zoro obviously didn't expect to hear his life story here.

"I don't know much about my parents' situation." Zoro said simply, "I heard from the villagers before that one of them died in a battle with pirates, and the other died of illness."

Even Luffy listened with great interest.

"So, Zoro and I are supposed to be a remote brother and sister?"

Kuina's voice was heard, and Uta was following her.

After washing, Kuina regained her cool demeanor and became more stable. She also put on new clothes, which were the clothes for the dojo.

This made Uta on the side a little dissatisfied. Kuina didn't even have many decent clothes. Apart from sports clothes, she only had clothes for the dojo.

This made Uta feel as if he saw Luffy still in Windmill Village.

"It doesn't matter. Who would remember it so clearly? Zoro's grandmother should be Shimotsuki Vibrator (according to food, Shimotsuki Cheese?). She has a younger brother who is still very young and has not yet gone to sea. His name is Shimotsuki Gyumaru."

Shimotsuki Kosaburo didn't care about this kind of thing. After all, Zoro's surname was Roronoa, and there were only a few people who lived on this island with him. It was easy to guess who Zoro's grandmother was.

"Were there any women among the people who came out of Wano Country with you?"

A pirate asked in confusion, saying that generally, women were rarely brought out to sea, and they had also heard rumors about Wano Country, which was a country with strong patriarchal ideas.

The pirate asked this question mainly because he wanted to know about the beautiful female swordsman.

"We still have female swordsmen in Wano Country. Our Shimotsuki clan is a family of swordsmen and swordsmiths. Eight hundred years ago, we had the dragon-slaying swordsman Shimotsuki Ryoma. It's normal to have some female swordsmen. However, in the whole Wano Country, women generally become ninjas."

Kozaburou Shimotsuki looked proud when he talked about the dragon-slaying swordsman Shimotsuki Ryoma from eight hundred years ago.

"A swordsman who slays dragons?"

Kuina was fascinated by what she heard.

[Shocked, One Piece is back to the bloodline theory. Zoro's powerful achievements are all due to his bloodline from his uncle, the great master of Wano Country who was beaten by Kaido.]

Luffy thought with a smile in his heart, as for Ryuma Shimotsuki, that was eight hundred years ago. If you really count, Shimotsuki Gyumaru's bloodline is purer than Zoro's.

Zoro's eyes were on Kuina who had just come out of the bath, and it was unknown whether he was paying attention to her listening to his life story.

The boy looked at Kuina for a while, then blushed and looked away.

It was also the first time that Shimotsuki Koshiro heard his father talk about these old stories.

"Then why didn't you tell us this, father? We didn't even know there was a word for a samurai."

"We were pirates in the past. It would be troublesome if we were exposed. It would be bad if we attracted the navy. Besides, I hate the rules of Wano Country and the word samurai. It would be better if we could just let it disappear into thin air."

Shimotsuki Kozaburo said to his children.

"Is that so?"

The aroma of food wafted into the air. Shimotsuki Koshiro had already prepared enough oden for the banquet. All kinds of delicious food floated on the surface, and the milky white soup whetted one's appetite.

"Is this the oden from Wano Country? It looks delicious!"

The pirates smelled the food and became restless. They opened some drinks that they had gotten from somewhere and distributed cups to everyone. The golden liquid was poured into the tall glasses.

The atmosphere of the banquet immediately became lively, and Shimotsuki Kozaburo was also very happy, "It's been a long time since we had a banquet like this!"

"Boy, tell me the story of Kozuki Oden. When I went out to sea, he was only four years old. I gave him Enma, who was born at the same time as Wado Ichimonji."

Shimotsuki Kosaburo gulped down a sip of wine, and the scene became lively.

He even patted Shanks on the shoulder and asked about Oden's news.

"He didn't disgrace the famous sword, did he?"

"Another famous sword?" the pirates exclaimed.

"As expected of a sword-forging family, they were able to easily create two famous swords of the same grade?"

"The East China Sea is too powerful. There is actually an existence of this level!"

"I came back late and didn't hear the whole story, Luffy, you have to tell me later!"

Uta found out that he had missed the most exciting part of the story, and felt unhappy. He pulled Kuina to sit next to Luffy.

Next to Kuina is Zoro, who might be her younger brother.

She looked towards the boy and met Zoro's eyes as he was peeking at her.

Chapter 75: Untold Technology

"Kozuki Oden?"

Shanks recalled the first time he met Oden, "That guy immediately took Captain Roger's divine dodge, and we were all shocked..."

"I didn't expect that the Enma in Oden's hand was made by you. That famous sword is very powerful."

"Of course. I had great ambitions for that sword and named it the King of Hell. The Wado Ichimonji, which was forged at the same time as Yanma, is a more peaceful sword."

Shimotsuki Kozaburo looked proud when he talked about the sword he made.

"Hey, swordsmith, tell us about demon swords other than famous swords. I heard that demon swords are all very ominous blades."

The pirates asked for swords other than the famous swords.

The knives named "demon swords" all have extremely ominous rumors, and pirates are very interested in this.

"Demon sword?"

Shimotsuki Kozaburo said with disdain: "Listen carefully, pirates, there has never been a so-called demon sword in the world. It is just a fool who tries to control weapons that they cannot control and is eventually bitten by the weapon!"

"A knife will choose its master, too!"

The swordsmith gave an explanation of the demon sword.

"Let's talk about black knives. Although all knives can become black knives, good steel and scrap iron are two completely different starting points. The so-called knife craftsman is to create a higher starting point..."

The knife maker became interested and started talking about the secrets of knives.

The black sword is the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Even Shanks' crew members have never heard of the secret of the black sword, nor do they know where the black sword came from, because Shanks never told them these things.

Shanks' crew listened with fascination, even Uta.

The joy of sea adventure lies here, visiting new islands, listening to wonderful stories, and marveling at those beautiful legends.

"Hey~"

Luffy's little mouth opened the sonar.

"Old man, please make me a famous sword. I hope the sword can cut out fire and thunder..."

"I've quit long ago. Besides, there's no good steel in Shimotsuki Village... Isn't your request too outrageous?"

Shimotsuki Kosaburo was speechless at Luffy's request.

"It seems you are still not qualified, old man." Luffy sighed.

This kid really deserves a beating...

“This is delicious!”

The pirates listened to stories and ate oden, and soon became addicted to the delicious food of Wano Country.

"Right? Hahaha..." Shimotsuki Kosaburo laughed heartily. Anyone would be happy to hear foreigners praising their country's food.

The only drawback is that the bowls are too small.

"Your bowls are too small! Even if I were a child, I wouldn't use such small bowls..."

Luffy looked at his bowl. It was a standard small bowl from Wano Country that could only hold a little bit of food.
