Pirate: I am King Luffy

Page 59

After an unknown amount of time, Luffy saw the fishing rod shaking and guessed that a fish was caught.

Luffy was wondering whether he should pull up the fishing rod himself. He had fished before, although only very rarely, so he still knew some basic knowledge.

Just as he was about to take action, he saw the old man, who was originally sleeping soundly, holding the fishing rod, his dry and shriveled arm with bulging veins, and he lifted it up with a "whoosh".

It was visible to the naked eye that the force was transmitted from the rod to the line, and the fishing rod was pulled into a circle. Even if it broke in the next second, it would be normal. However, a large fish weighing about 600 kilograms was thrown into the sky, and the shadow covered the two people, one old and one young.

Luffy wanted to say that this wasn't the way to fish, but then he thought about how this was a freak world, and then he looked at this guy's results, and he was glad that he didn't say anything.

"We have fish to eat tonight."

Shimotsuki Kozaburou said to Luffy cheerfully as he put away his fishing rod and reached up to catch the big fish steadily in his palm without the fish even struggling.

If the fish's eyes hadn't been blinking, Luffy would have suspected that he had caught a dead fish.

"Old man, you are pretending to sleep, right?"

Luffy asked with his hands on his hips.

"Ah? He fell asleep. It's normal for elderly people to fall asleep." said Shimotsuki Kosaburo.

"Why are you looking for me here, little brat?"

"Oh... look, this is the weapon design I drew." Luffy took out a piece of straw paper and showed it to Shimotsuki Kosaburo.

"The drawing is quite nice, and the data is so detailed, but it looks like something that was done by an amateur."

Shimotsuki Kosaburo was amused by what he saw. He threw the fish aside and punched the fish on the head, knocking it unconscious.

Then he took Luffy's design drawing with his wet hands and began to read it with relish.

The greatsword in this painting is very close to the category of "art". In the opinion of Shimotsuki Kosaburo, it does not conform to the actual shape of the sword at all, and has a bit of the sense of an amateur's assumption.

"It's still a double-edged sword. It's something only an idiot could draw."

"So can it be built?" Luffy asked eagerly.

"I don't know. I don't do this anymore. Besides, I forge katana swords, not double-edged swords."

Shimotsuki Kosaburo happily returned the blueprint to Luffy.

"There are also clear divisions among swordsmiths, kid. When it comes to the design of great swords, I am just an amateur."

Luffy felt a little regretful when he heard this, but still hoped that Shimotsuki Kosaburo would make one for him.

"Grandpa, give me one of these, one of these!"

"...You little brat, do you know what a famous double-edged sword means?" Shimotsuki Kosaburo held his nose.

"what?"

"This kind of sword is a natural 'demon sword'. It will hinder the swordsman's own blade. Stupid kid, think about the practicality of the knife, and stop thinking about being cool all the time."

"What does it matter? I don't plan to be a swordsman." Luffy didn't care.

A double-edged sword is indeed dangerous. He understood it in his dream. It is a sword that can cut him if he is not careful.

"You don't want to be a swordsman, but you come here to ask for a sword..." Shimotsuki Kosaburo laughed.

He was naturally aware of the signs of training on Luffy's body, which meant that he was a physical practitioner before, and it was normal for him to learn swordsmanship as well, not to mention that when this brat came to the door, he had a knife on his back and a musket on his waist.

"A famous sword is not important to a guy like you, right? Ordinary knives are enough for you... What do you think of a famous sword?"

Shimotsuki Kozaburou looked at the impure swordsman in front of him.

"Stairs."

Luffy answered without hesitation.

"Weapons are just tools. They are the steps that helped me become a king. An ordinary knife is enough for me to walk on, but who doesn't want to step on a firm step when climbing to a higher place?"

He folded his arms across his chest and spoke to the old man.

"Hey, I'm a swordsmith who cherishes famous swords. You said that famous swords are steps in front of me. Do you still want me to forge a sword for you?"

Shimotsuki Kozaburou pointed his skinny fist at Luffy.

"A little brat like you wants to ask for a knife? Can you hold it? Hahahaha..."

He seemed to see a joke standing in front of him, "I can poke you to the ground with just one finger."

"Maybe, but only now, not in the future. The future belongs to young people like me, grandpa!"

"Besides, you don't want to be a swordsmith anymore, do you? It's just a lie to trick children, right? You still can't let it go!"

"You are a remnant of the old times. Hurry up and use your remaining energy to build a good ship for the young people."

Shimotsuki Kozaburou stared at the brazen kid in front of him.

His fists were hard, but given his status, he didn't need to bother with the little devil.

But when he saw Luffy's confident expression, his fists hardened.

"You're worthy of being a pirate brat. You're so infuriating. I'm going to beat you up. Do you recognize this?" He put his fist in front of Luffy and gestured.

"Want to fight? I have to tell you, one punch, as long as you hit me with one punch, I will make you beg me not to die, but I will not sit and wait for death!"

Shimotsuki Kosaburo came from Wano Country, a remote and isolated place, and Oden was still a child when he went to sea.

Therefore, D's Will may not be effective.

Then, it is decided that it is you, come on, my kingly power!

Luffy's eyes were as sharp as torches, he was fearless, and a red light flashed in his eyes.

The domineering color that had not been activated for a long time burst out, announcing the existence of the king to the world.

The overlord's talent was so powerful that it could captivate souls and make insects, ants, birds and beasts all crawl on the ground; his infinite sharp sword made the old man's hair shake.

"Heh... is there really such a thing? Overlord Haki!"

Shimotsuki Kozaburo had a complicated expression as he stared at the little ghost in front of him.

I noticed when I first met him that there was some kind of aura surrounding this child, but I wasn't sure what it was.

Yes, only such an arrogant kid has this natural qualification, but he is too young... I have never seen such a young king.

"Your ambition... is actually serious?"

He retracted his fist, took out his pipe from his arms, found a lighter and lit it.

The smoke covered the face of Shimotsuki Kosaburo.

"Hehehe~"

The young king just smiled.

Words have weight, and only when they have weight can people listen to them seriously.

[Your laundry detergent is very lethal]

When ordinary people say this and when the world's hegemon says it, the effects are completely different.

This is the weight of the words of the strong.

What Luffy said before was just the words of a child that cannot be taken seriously.

However, as long as he plays his cards, the weight of his words will rise to the level that makes people think seriously.

He has three cards.

One is the current version, the nearly invincible navy hero, Iron Fist Garp; he maximizes the deterrence of force.

One is the Will of D, which looks useful but feels useless. It has a special attack on the "God Clan" and maximizes the riddle attribute.

One is a king's posture which is very useful for pretending to be the chosen king, which can shock everyone. The disadvantage is that it can only shock everyone for a moment.

This is the card he uses to add weight to his words!

Thanks to the reward from Runaway Baiyi

Chapter 82 What kind of king do you want to be?

"It's time to go back to class."

Luffy estimated the time and stuffed the drawing in his hand into Shimotsuki Kosaburo's hand.

"Old man, please help me make a sword!"

He chuckled, then turned and walked towards the dojo.

"I'll come and harass you again!"

Conqueror's Haki will shock everyone for a moment, but the disadvantage is that it will only shock them for a moment.

Soon, Shimotsuki Kosaburo came back to his senses from his shock.

"Hey, stupid brat, what kind of king do you want to be?"

Looking at Luffy's small figure walking away, Shimotsuki Kozaburo spewed out white smoke and asked the person who was walking away.

Luffy leaned back, his head inadvertently forming a 45-degree angle with his back as he looked back at the old man:

"The king is the king, grandpa."

……

Luffy's domineering Haki did not impact the gym because the coverage area was very small.

Therefore, the domineering aura displayed this time was even more unsuccessful, and no one was knocked out.

Judging from Shimotsuki Kosaburo's appearance, the Conqueror's Haki is not enough for him to forge a sword. Luffy is thinking about when to play the Garp card in his hand.

After playing this card, he has no more cards.

But it doesn’t matter. The main purpose of coming to Shimotsuki Village is just to rescue Kuina, the "sickly" girl, and make Zoro's childhood happier.

Learning swordsmanship and asking the great swordsmith Kosaburo Shimotsuki to help forge the sword are just added values to the main quest, and it doesn't matter whether you have them or not.

If Shimotsuki Kozaburou is unwilling to forge a sword for him, then forget it.

After all, it is just a thicker step on the road to becoming a king.

Zoro saw Luffy coming back and said, "You guys, you didn't sleep at all!"

He said.

"I couldn't sleep, so I went out to see the scenery." Luffy held his head with both hands and looked at Zoro whose clothes were soaked with sweat. "Zoro worked very hard."

"Of course, I'm working hard to become the world's best swordsman!"

"Really? You're so awesome, then do you want to team up with me to play games?"

Luffy asked.

"I don't have time to play games, I need to exercise!"

Zoro said while biting the rope.

"Hey, I heard that Zoro has never been able to defeat Kuina. I was going to help you, but since you don't want to, forget it."

Luffy showed a contemptuous expression, and said word by word: "Continue to be the last one, useless brat~"

"He's obviously an older brother, but he's unexpectedly useless~"

Luffy drawled.

Big fire!

Super angry!

"I'm not the last one!" Zoro shouted at Luffy in a very loud voice.
