63: Chapter 63 Zoro Obtains a Sword, A Fateful EncounterStanding at the gates of Loguetown, Luffy and his crew marveled at its prosperity.They quickly decided what to do.Zoro said he wanted to buy a sword.Kuina, having regained her human form, could switch between sword and human, and had even offered to fight alongside Zoro as his sword, but Zoro was reluctant to part with her.So, he decided to buy a new sword in Loguetown.Unfortunately, he had no money.When he went to Nami to borrow some, she surprisingly agreed readily.Zoro was completely bewildered and left with Kuina.Luffy watched Zoro depart with a look of pity.Seeing Luffy's retreating figure, one can only imagine Zoro's expression when he learns he'll have to repay three times the amount.Sanji, meanwhile, says he's going to buy fresh ingredients.When he eagerly invites Nami to come along, Nami grabs Luffy's arm and forcibly drags the reluctant Luffy away, making him accompany her shopping for clothes.A heartbroken Sanji is left standing there, drawing circles in his mind.Usopp comes over, pats him on the shoulder, and comforts him, saying, "Can't you see?Nami likes Luffy.Just let her go." He then goes into town to buy some tools.Meanwhile, Coby wanders around town.They wandered around the town, looking for anything they needed.After agreeing on a meeting time, everyone went their separate ways to do what they wanted.As they walked into town, Kuina turned back to Zoro and said, "Zoro, let's go.Zoro?Zoro!Seriously?How can you get lost like this?(⊙﹏⊙)" Helpless, Kuina could only search for Zoro.Zoro, meanwhile, wandered around and eventually arrived at a weapon shop.But when he looked back, he couldn't see Kuina either.Zoro shrugged helplessly and said, "This is really annoying." "Don't worry, are you lost?Let's go find her later ╮(╯-╰)╭", Zoro said as he entered the weapon shop to buy weapons."Welcome, what can I do for you?" the weapon shop owner said lazily, raising his head.Zoro politely asked, "Boss, do you have any cheap swords for sale?I'd like to buy two." Hearing this, the owner knew Zoro was broke and was about to send him away when he inadvertently glanced at the Ame no Habakiri at Zoro's waist.His eyes widened instantly, and he excitedly said, "Could you let me see your sword?"
Zoro gave the weapon shop owner a strange look, but still handed him the Ame no Habakiri.The shop owner excitedly drew the sword, admiring the blade.Then, his eyes lit up, and he said to Zoro, "Not bad, is yours?It's not a famous sword, but I'm a kind person, so how about 500,000 Berries?"
Just as Zoro was about to refuse, the weapon shop door opened, and a girl wearing glasses walked straight to the counter.Zoro looked over and was startled, because the girl looked so much like Kuina.But then he realized that her aura was completely different from Kuina's.Thinking this, Zoro regained his composure and continued watching the shopkeeper's performance.The girl was about to say something to the shopkeeper, but when she saw Ame no Habakiri, she exclaimed, "Isn't that Ame no Habakiri?This is a famous sword ranked among the 21 Great Swords!" As she spoke, the girl with glasses took out a small notebook and started flipping through it.Soon, she found a detailed description of the sword: "The scabbard has flower-shaped carvings, and the tsuba is three-lobed.It was forged by a famous swordsmith from Wano Country.Legend has it that it was a famous sword that could 'cut down even the sky,' but I heard that the technique has been lost.How did you get it?" The girl with glasses spoke to Zoro without paying any attention to the increasingly grim expression on the shopkeeper's face.At this point, the shopkeeper exploded, throwing the sword to Zoro and impatiently pointing to a bucket in the corner, saying, "Here, those are 100,000 each, go pick one yourself ┗|｀O′|┛." He then sat down and sulked.The girl with glasses, seemingly unaware of the reason for the shopkeeper's anger, said, "I'm here to pick up the sword I've been keeping for maintenance." Although angry, the shopkeeper, out of respect for the girl's status, went inside and returned the sword to her, then snorted and ignored her.The girl approached Zoro, who was choosing a sword, and introduced herself: "My name is Tashigi, I'm a Marine in this town.Seeing you trying to collect three swords makes you look like some kind of pirate hunter, I think his name is Roronoa.I can't forgive him.I heard he has a famous sword called Wado Ichimonji, and he actually used such a fine sword for those kinds of things!"
"Hmm, this is." Zoro ignored Tashigi and took out a sword with a black hilt from among the many swords, examining it with interest.(QQ group: 931103883ヾ(≧▽≦*)o, welcome to join!)
