I, a Celestial Dragon!

That's nothing.

You know, even for the top swordsmen in the native world of One Piece, the Supreme Great Sword is an extremely rare legendary item.

Just like the legendary dragon-slaying swordsman Ryuma, the weapon he uses is the large sword Autumn Water of the 21st level.

And the great swordsman Oden, who reached the peak as soon as he debuted and was directly called a brother by Whitebeard instead of being adopted as a son.

The swords he carried were also large, sharp swords of the 21st level, named Ame-no-Hazakari and Enma.

As for the legendary great pirate Golden Lion of the past, even though he was able to suppress Roger for an entire era, he still almost wiped out Roger and his gang in the Battle of Et-Wall.

The sword in his hand was still the large sharp sword Ying Ju and Mu Ku, of the 21st level.

From this, we can see how valuable the twenty-one skills of the big sharp sword are.

On the side, Rayleigh lazily lay on the beach chair and said to Gawain with a smile.

"Little Gao Wen, this is a token of my love from Gion, please keep it well.

In normal training, try not to use this sword. Wait until you awaken your Armament Haki and learn to use it to care for the sword, then use it.

The big sword is of the same level as the Cerberus I had back then.

If your Armament Haki awakens early enough, you may even be able to train Lu Ming Hu Che into a black sword!"

After hearing what Rayleigh said, Gawain raised his head and asked Rayleigh a question.

“By the way, old man, you guys always talk about the black knife and the supreme fast knife.

What is the difference between them and ordinary swords?"

Hearing this question, Rayleigh chuckled, picked up the wine and took a sip, then explained to Gawain.

"Let me first tell you about the difference between the Supreme Great Sword, the Great Sword, and the Good Sword.

First of all, there are the big sharp sword and the good sharp sword. The difference between them is very simple, mainly lying in the material!

Let me put it this way, I see there are two famous swords in Kogion, they should be good and sharp swords.

You take the Luming Huche and chop it against the other two swords, and you will know the difference between them!"

"Mr. Rayleigh!!!"

As soon as Rayleigh finished speaking, Gion's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she looked at Rayleigh viciously.

Seeing this, Rayleigh quickly waved his hand.

“Haha, just kidding, how can these two types of knives be differentiated just by their hardness?

If that were the case, I would just pick up a mace and use it to chop against the good sword. The good sword would definitely break, but I can't label the mace as the twenty-first level of the good sword.

Therefore, the main difference between the Great Sword and the Good Sword lies in their auxiliary function to the sword energy and their acceptance of the Armament Haki!"

Having said that, old man Rayleigh picked up his staff sword, and then he waved to Gion.

Seeing this, Gion threw the famous sword Shigezawa directly towards Rayleigh.

After catching Shigeze, Rayleigh drew his sword, then he held the two swords and quickly released his armed color domineering.

This time, Gawain noticed a definite difference. The dark armament color on the famous sword in Rayleigh's left hand was wrapped around it, moving beautifully like flowing water.

At the same time, the color of the sword covered with armed color is also deeper.

But although the armament color on the ordinary staff sword in his right hand was also completely covered, the armament color on it was distributed very rigidly.

Rayleigh said with a smile after showing the two swords to Gawain.

“Those fine knives made by legendary knife makers naturally contain a certain rhythm in their layered metal textures.

Therefore, when using sword energy and armament color, the effect of every good sword will be much better than that of ordinary swords.

For example, the texture of this good and sharp sword can allow the armament color to naturally form a rhythm like flowing water. When such a sword cuts the enemy, the enemy will be slightly entangled by the armament color that is rhythmic like flowing water and rivers.

As for the ordinary staff sword in my right hand, I just play with it. Haha, this sword requires me to expend a little more energy so that I can actively construct the armament color distribution structure I want.

The tiny difference between the two determines whether I can save a small amount of physical strength in battle. Compared with ordinary swords, a good sword can achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Rayleigh casually stuck his staff sword into the ground, and then he reached out to Gawain.

The next moment, he caught the Lu Ming Hu Che thrown by Gao Wen.

Drawing the sword from its sheath, Rayleigh moved his wrist, and the armament color immediately covered the entire blade of Lu Ming Hu Che.

At this moment, Gao Wen saw that the armament color on the Luming Huche sword was spreading like ghostly energy.

Meanwhile, Rayleigh continued.

“Compared with the good knife, the quality of the big knife is more transparent.

Due to the excellent skills of the swordsmith, the large sword does not have as regular a rhythm as a good sword, but such a transparent large sword can perfectly adapt to everyone's armament color and spread the fighting style of the sword owner to a greater extent!

For example, I’m not called Pluto for nothing, haha!

As a result, Lu Ming Hu Che immediately looked eerie, and the Armament Haki wrapped around him was like the surging Styx. "

Having said that, Rayleigh put down his two swords and quickly sheathed them.

After throwing the two swords to Gion and Gawain respectively, Rayleigh leisurely lay back on the beach chair.

Seeing this, Gao Wen took over Lu Ming Hu Che and continued to ask Rayleigh.

"What about the Supreme Blade? Your teachings are not over yet, right?"

“Haha, I’ve never used the Supreme Blade, let Little Peach Rabbit explain it to you.

After all, the golden halberd on her waist is a typical supreme sword!"

On the side, hearing Rayleigh's words, Gion pursed her lips slightly, and then she spoke to Gawain.

"My lord, every supreme sword is unique. To make a supreme sword, you don't need the best swordsmith, but the best swordsman!

The supreme sword must be the result of communication between the best swordsman and the top swordsmith.

Each supreme sword is specially made for one swordsman.

Looking across the sea, whether it is Whitebeard's Kusukimekiri or Hawkeye's Black Blade Night.

Or Shanks's Griffin, and my Kinpila.

It's not just a sword, but a collection of our lifelong swordsmanship experience and swordsmanship styles as top swordsmen!

This is also the reason why the Supreme Blade can never be mass-produced!"

Chapter 168 Red Haired Pirates

"Is this what the Supreme Sword is like?"

Gao Wen was quite surprised to hear what Gion said.

How could he have imagined that the forging of a sword would have to be related to the swordsman himself?

But after thinking about it, Gao Wen understood a little.

There is no need to talk about others, let’s just talk about Whitebeard first.

When Whitebeard went to sea as a child, the weapon he used was the naginata.

What is a naginata?

We can regard it as a weapon similar to Guandao, which is also called Yanyuedao.

Just imagine, if this knife wasn't tailor-made for Whitebeard...

Which swordsmith, in a world dominated by samurai swords, would spend his entire life to forge a nine-meter-nine-meter-long, supreme naginata-type sword like Kusukome-kiri?

And if this weapon was not specially made for Whitebeard, then could Whitebeard, who has been using the naginata since he was a child, be so lucky?

He was so lucky that after he grew taller, he picked up a naginata-type supreme sword, Kusukume-kiri, which was a perfect length for him?

Therefore, it can be seen from Whitebeard that his Sokumo-Kiri must have been made specifically for him by a super swordsmith!

Also, whether it is Hawkeye or Roger, their supreme swords are all in line with their own styles. This is definitely not a coincidence!

Having said that, another doubt has been confirmed.

Why aren't there a lot of supreme swords on the sea?

Just imagine, since people like Whitebeard and Hawkeye can all find someone to create a supreme sword that best suits them.

The person who made the supreme sword for them should also be able to make other supreme swords!

why?

Because when a weapon can be customized, there will definitely be no problem with standardization.

Private customization must meet every requirement of every customer, which is definitely more difficult than the swordsmith's own creativity.

The Cong Yun cut should be thicker, and the Ye cut should be thinner. The Cong Yun cut should be longer, and the Ye cut should be shorter. The Cong Yun cut should be nine meters, and the Ye cut should be eighty meters. The Cong Yun cut should not have hand guards, and the Ye cut should have hand guards of ninety centimeters.

Look, even faced with such troublesome requirements, the swordsmith can still forge the weapon the customer needs into a supreme sword. Isn't this difficult?

If the swordsmith didn't have to deal with so many special requirements, wouldn't it be easier for him to forge the sword?

But in the entire ocean, there are only a few people who possess the supreme sword.

At the same time, the supreme sword left by the ancients was not used by any other swordsman...

While Gao Wen was thinking, Gion continued to introduce.

"Because the swordsman himself must participate, every supreme sword can bring great improvement to the swordsman.

Take my Konpila as an example. The length of this sword is perfectly matched to my height, and the weight and balance are also perfectly matched to my wrist strength.

As for other good and large swords with their own shapes, they all require swordsmen to adapt to them. Swordsmen need to spend a lot of time to become familiar with the famous swords before they can completely become one with a large or good sword.

But the Supreme Blade is an extension of the swordsman's arms and body!"

Having said that, Gion looked at Konpila with a happy face, and then she continued.

“But even the Supreme Blade is not the best sword in the world. As for the reason, you have already explained it yourself, sir.

There is another kind of knife in this world, called the black knife!

Above the supreme sword stands the black sword. They are so rare that even one may not appear in several consecutive eras.

For example, in today's era, among all the swordsmen, only Mihawk has mastered his own black sword!

Before him, there were rumors that the legendary dragon-slaying swordsman Ryuma had also trained his sword into a black sword.

However, after Longma died, Qiu Shui also disappeared, so we cannot be sure of the authenticity of the news that Qiu Shui is Black Blade! "

After he finished speaking, Gion couldn't help but look at his own Konpila, with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

She also wanted to train Kinpila into a black sword...

After looking at Konpila expectantly, Gion turned to Takafumi and continued his explanation.

“The reason why the black sword is rarer than the supreme sword is that as long as a top swordsman meets a top swordsmith, a supreme sword will basically appear in the world.

But a black sword may not be able to take shape even after thousands of battles and even if it is wrapped in armament color for decades.

I even suspect that the appearance of the black knife is related to the swordsman's own spiritual height.

When it comes to swordsmanship, whether it's me, old man Rayleigh, or Shanks, we have almost reached the pinnacle.

But among us, only Hawkeye has mastered the black sword. Relying on the advantage of the black sword, he is always one level stronger than the rest in swordsmanship.

What is the difference between us and Hawkeye?

It doesn't mean that he can practice black sword skills just because he has a pair of hawk-like eyes, right?

The only difference between us is our spiritual level!"

Gion let out a long sigh.

"After all, in this sea, Hawkeye is the only top swordsman who truly has no desires or ambitions other than swordsmanship.

He is alone, keeps to himself, and always stays in his own home.

If he went out, he must have gone to find someone who was qualified to fight him in swordsmanship.

Even though he became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, it was to avoid being hunted down by our navy and affecting his life at home.

He even went out in a small dinghy without a sail...
