Author note
Hello my fellow readers hope you've been well, here's another helping for you as always feel free to leave your reviews and suggestions, enjoy.
* With the help of their new friend Clemantine, Sarukenshi and the others make it to the Red Dot Plaza to shop for supplies. To gather what they need faster they've split into assigned groups and head on to the shops, but Nami's group gets hakted by a foiled jewel thief named Dorobotsu who gets picked pocketed by Nami*
Dorobotsu: So uh guess I'll head home now soo see you ladies lat..Gagh *Clemantine grabs him by the collar*
Clemantine: Ohhh no you don't you're going to return those jewels yourself…*Clemantine notices Nami walking back from the shop still wearing the jewels on her wrist* N-Nami why do you still have them.
Nami: Oh the owner thanked me for returning them so he offered them to me at a huge discount! I love this island already.
Dorobotsu: But… I stole those fair and square.
Nami: And I stole them back, don't be such a baby vomit boy.
Dorobotsu: Vomit!? I'm an Acid-Acid man you lactating bimbo!
Nami: What was that!? *she removers her clima-tact and twirls it around pointing the opening at Dorobotsu* Gyser shot! *A large spout of water surges out of the clima-tact and blasts Dorobotsu to the ground*
Clemantine: Woah nice move Nami you really cooled him of.
Nami: Now, what did you call me you amateur. *Dorobotsu sits up coughing out water*
Dorobotsu: ok I'm sorry uh Nami was it, I just don't appreciate my hard earned cash being taken from me.
Clemantine: You know the old man doesn't like you making money from selling your contraband. *Smacks*
Robin: Hahaha I wonder if the others are having as much fun as we are. *Meanwhile in the Ronin district the most dangerous part of Shiboroming the atmosphere isn't as light hearted in this section Bandits, thugs bounty hunters and Ronin alike share these grounds danger can sprout anywhere at any time passersby give off intimidating looks but mostly keep to themselves unless otherwise provoked, Sarukenshi and the others are looking for food and supplies for the thousand Sunny*
Sanji: Alright let's see where should we go? *Sanji scans the area eyeing fish markets, meat huts, and fruit stands* Hmm alright I think I know what to get, ok guys come o..hey where'd they go?
Pietro: Well Zolo saw a weapons shop, he and Luffy went in and Saru said he had a feeling he should go with them as well.
Sanji: Ah figures those two would wander off. Well I could care less about moss heads sword obsession, as long as he doesn't become a hindrance to everyone than fine. Saru seems like he's the most stable so no need to worry then.
Layna: Agreed so let's get some grub then shall we. *She exclaims gripping a basket from a wooden bin*
Sanji: You're attitude is such a vibrant ray of beauty, as you wish Layna.
*The three go on to collect the supplies meanwhile Luffy, Zolo, and Sarukenshi are walking around the weapons shop all sorts of swords, knives, clubs guns and other weapons as well as armor plastered on the walls and propped up on stands or filled in barrels*
Luffy: This place is so cool! Look at all the stuff ohh check this out! *Luffy tries on an armored suit with spikes on the arms and legs* pretty awesome right.
Zolo: Quit screwing around Luffy you know we didn't come here for you!
Sarukenshi: Heheh Luffy that armor doesn't really suit your style. *Just then the shop owner walks out a back room, he's a middle aged man with a slight bald spot and frazzled black hair with a thin beard*
Shop owner: Hey you get outta that! You break it you buy it! Anyways what you boys interested in on this fine day if I may as..*The owner looks at Zolo then notices his swords* Is that a Kitetsu sword!?...A..AND THE Wado Ichimongi! So it is you!
Zolo: Uh have we met somewhere before sorry but you don't jog any memories.
Shop owner: You got that sword from Lougetown right?
Zolo: You mean my Kitetsu yeah that's right but how did you know?
Shop owner: My uncle ran the shop there, thanks to the publicity he used of your wanted poster people flocked to buy weapons from where the legendary Bounty hunter turned 120 million belli Pirate stocked up.
Zolo: Oh so you're related to that geezer huh small world after all.
Shop owner: Oh right that reminds me. *The owner rummages under the counter grabs a large bag and places it on the counter* Hnng he wanted *Clang* you to have these as thanks. *he removes the bag revealing four swords on the counter*
Luffy: Woah free swords nice find Zolo.
Zolo: I don't need them sorry, I appreciate the thought. But I already have three swords that are more than enough.
Shop owner: But these are rare one of a kind blades made by the traveling master blacksmith only five are known to even exist outside his old shop in his home town. It would give my uncle great happiness knowing a strong skilled warrior had them.
Zolo: Sorry I can't take em.
Shop owner:..Well how about you Straw Hat Luffy as captain maybe you would lik..
Luffy: Nah I'm not a swordsman sorry you'll have to give it to someone else.
Sarukenshi: I'll take them. *Zolo and Luffy look surprised by Sarukenshis reply*
Zolo: You're going to take them Saru?
Sarukenshi: Yeah I never got around to getting some swords before I lost my old set.
Zolo: Set? How many swords you had?
Sarukenshi: Four. So shop keep what is so special about these swords other than they were crafted by a legendary master?
Shop owner: That would be the fact that they were all made on certain islands.
Sarukenshi: Huh you don't say, what islands specifically? *Sarukenshi picks up one of the swords its sheat is bright blue with white swirlu cloud designs across he unsheathes it briefly* Woah it's so light what type of material is this made of?
Shop owner: That is The Floating Heavens sword, it was crafted on a sky island somehow he found an odd metal that was as durable as the toughest steel but light as a cloud. *Sarukenshi picks up another of the swords, this one has a dark red and purple sheath, he removes the blade from the holster and sees it has a bright crimson color* Ah and that is The Devils Glare sword that one is his most recent master pieces shortly after the battle at Marineford while most flocked to get the story on the war and photos of the warzone, the master used the many spots that still had Fleet admiral Akainu's lava pooled to somehow create this blade. It's said to withstand the admirals power and any other extraordinary heat it stayed so hot upon its making it sustained the crimson glow.
Luffy: Akainu..*Luffy clutches at his scar on his chest* But anyway those swords seem cool! Pick the next one now Saru *He smiles at Sarukesnshi* How about that Green one there? *Sarukenshi grabs the sword Luffy points to it does have a dark green sheath he removes it and sees that even the blade is a dark green *
Sarukenshi: Wait a minute is this Obsidian!?
Shop owner: That's absolutely right that's The Earths Guardian sword. That was the first sword he made when he started his travels, made from the earths rarest strongest mineral capable of crushing anything in its path the vibrant rival of the black blades around the world. *Sarukenshi takes the last sword and unsheaths it suddenly him and Luffy look at the blade very intensely*
Sarukenshi: There's an odd energy it's almost like..
Luffy & Sarukenshi: Sea Prism stone?
Shop owner: Not quite but the sensation feels the same doesn't it? This is The wave of steel sword he made this sword when he was on Fishman island. During the cooling process of the blade he let it cool at the highest point of fishman island where the sunlight shines through the brightest and somehow I guess bathing in the open ocean of that rarity of an island made it gain the same properties as a sword embedded with sea prism stone may its turquoise sheath and brilliant aqua tint blade give you strength in your travels as it did the master. These are the jewels to swordsman and craftsman alike please treat them as such.
Sarukenshi: You need not worry one bit. *Sarukenshi ties the swords to his waist two on each side* Rest assured they will be well looked after and appreciated they'll make a great addition to a strong warrior of the seas.
Luffy: Heheh come on let's go find franky you guys.
Zolo: Right let's move then come on Saru let's go..Hm? *KLANG*
Shop owner: Ahh Damn do you really have to do this kid?
Man: Don't call me kid how many times I gotta say that I don't care if you're my boss I'm a man more of a man than you evidently * A tall slender young man with dark skin and dark long shaggy hair wearing a black kimono with neon red skulls on it is seen clashing swords with Zolo*
Zolo: Heh a man eh, well keep this up you're gonna be a dead man
Man: I like those odds
Shop owner: Fisresu calm down would you, this is the guy I'm sure of it. He even has the Kitetsu.
Fisresu: Could have stolen it just like he's about to steal those gems of swords from here.
Store owner: Come on don't be so hard headed that's him he just looks a little different it has been two years after all.
Fisresu: I don't care about the circumstances you know the deal.
Shop owner: *Heavy sigh* Fine just take it outside at least don't wreck the store. *The five men step outside the shop and into the street Zolo and Fisresu stand in the middle of the main road facing eachother*
Fisresu: Alright: I don't know If you're who you say you are but I'm not gonna let you take my masters swords without seeing if you're worthy of them. *Sarukenshi walks in front of Zolo and looks at Fisresu*
Sarukenshi: Then I'll prove it to you, Ronin.
The clash of swords ensues in Chapter 17
