A Girl That Looks Like Kuina
A few days passed since Luffy's and Gin's bounty was announced.
Luffy continued Sanji's and Gin's training and with good result.
Both started summoning Haki and grew immunity as well.
Sanji started focusing on combining his Haki with his kicks, while Gin tried to focus them into his Tonfas and other weapons he possessed.
Now they arrived at Rogue Town.
Rogue town was a huge city.
"Wow! What a big city," Zoro said.
"So the pirate era started here!" Sanji said.
"I will go see the execution sight," Luffy said.
"There must be a lot of food here," Sanji said.
"I'm going to check up on some weapons," Gin responded.
"I'll go buy some tools!" said Usopp.
"I want to buy something too," Zoro said.
"I can lend you some money with only 300% intrest!" Nami offered.
"Let's agree to wait at the ship," Gin told them.
"Okay!" everyone agreed.
…
Zoro was exploring the city.
"Ho! Aren't you with that monster today?" someone asked.
"Our captain was put in jail because of you! What do you think we shall do with you?" someone else asked.
Zoro turned to see some pirates surrounding a dark hair girl wearing glasses and carrying a Katana.
"You haven't learned your lesson?" the girl asked, "I will be honored to fight you."
"What did you say?" one pirate asked, "You want to fight us?"
"That's good!" the other said.
"Prepare top die! And just go to tell that monster that our dream of going to the Grand Line was destroyed because of him!" the pirates yelled as they prepared to attack.
The girl took out her Katana and took down both pirates.
Then she lossed balance and fell, with her glasses flew off her face.
Zoro walked up to her and picked up the glasses.
"Here!" Zoro said handing her the glasses.
The girl looked up to see Zoro and Zoro was in shock as she looked like Kuina.
"Thank you," the girl said.
…
Nami was trying so many outfits in a clothing store.
The owner was going crazy with excitement.
However, Nami didn't buy a thing.
Luffy was at the execution site.
"I found it!" said Luffy, "Gold Rogers was executed here. The place where the greatest pirate had been put to death. The place where the pirate era began."
…
Gin was looking at some weapons.
"I would be careful if I were you," someone said.
Gin turned to the shop owner.
"What do you mean?" Gin asked.
"You're a pirate aren't you?" the owner asked.
"Yeah," Gin replied.
"Well, this town been known for stopping pirates. Ever since 'he' came here," the man said, "But don't worry! I won't tell."
"Who is he?" Gin asked.
"He's a marine captain that ate a devil fruit. Some calls him a monster," the owner said.
"A monster, huh?" Gin asked.
Gin headed off.
"Aren't you going to buy anything?" the owner asked.
"I decided not too," Gin responded as he thought, "I better go back to the ship."
…
Zoro was walking through the town ticked off.
"Darn it! She looked so much like Kuina," Zoro responded, "I better not see her again."
…
Zoro walked into the weapon shop that Gin just left.
"I want to buy some swords," Zoro said.
"Wow, another customer! Maybe I'll get some money this time," the owner said, "Choose whatever you want. An old sword or a new sword. We got everything because we've been in this business for more than 200 years."
"I got a hundred thousand beries, and I want only two swords," Zoro said.
The owner sighed.
"Hundred thousand beri to buy two swords? So, it's going to be fifty thousand per sword, huh?" the owner asked thinking, "He just a poor one and unprofessional. You can buy only one regular sword."
"I don't care. Just give me whatever you got. I don't have any money," Zoro said.
The owner's eyes widen when he saw the sword strapped to Zoro's side.
"Um… wait! Can I take a look at your sword?" the owner asked nervously.
"Um, okay," Zoro responded.
Zoro placed his katana on the table.
The man pulled out the Katana and his mouth dropped open.
"This is a real one!" The man thought with a grin, "This is a good opportunity. This kid has a good sword, so I'd better convince him to sell it to me."
"I don't like that grin on his face," Zoro thought.
"This is just a regular sword," the man said.
"What did you say?" Zoro asked as he grabbed the man by the collar.
"I'm just kiding," the man said.
Zoro reluctantly let go.
"I have a good deal for a poor person like you. This isn't an ordinary sword, but it also isn't a famous sword. I will buy this sword for two hundred thousand beri," the owner offered, "So you will have three hundred thousand beri, and you can buy three of one hundred thousand beri swords.
"What did you say?" Zoro asked obviously not interested.
"How about five hundred thousand beri?" the owner asked.
"No deal!" Zoro responded.
"I can give you six hundred and fifty thousand beri!" the man demanded obviously wanting to buy it.
"I'm not selling this sword to you, no matter how much you will give me," Zoro responded.
Suddenly the girl from before burst in and came toward the desk.
"Ah! This sword!" the girl yelled as the owner's eyes nearly popped out, "Isn't this…"
"Don't say it?" the owner thought.
"What is she doing here?" Zoro thought.
"This is Wado Ichimonji sword, right?" the girl asked pulling up her glasses for a good look.
"Wado?" Zoro asked.
"What a beautiful sword," she said.
"It's just the name of this sword, but it's not famous," the owner said.
"Not famous? Are you kidding? This is one of the twenty-one best swords in the world," the girl said as she took out a book, "See this? This sword is worth more than ten million beri!"
"You foul mouth! You've ruined my business!" the owner yelled.
"Eh? Ruined your business? Did I say something wrong?" the girl asked, "This is the first time I've seen something this beautiful, so I…"
"You've come back to get back your Shigure sword, right? Here! I have finished cleaning it for you!" the man said as he took out the Katana and threw it at her, "You're just an unprofessional swordsman but you got a very good."
The girl managed to catch her sword, but fell into a rack of katanas.
"Why do you have to fall down there? Clean it up, and get out of my store!" the man yelled.
"This is so stupid," Zoro thought.
The man turned back to Zoro.
"You are very lucky! Like that girl said, this is a very good sword, but it belongs to the person who doesn't know it's value," the owner said.
"Oh, I know it's value. A friend of mine, who own this sword before me, father told me all about it," Zoro responded, "I just don't want to sell it because it holds sentamental value to me."
"Very well! The fifty thousand beri swords are at that corner!" the owner yelled pointing to a barrel, "Why don't you go ahead and choose two of them."
"Geez! If I wanted to be yelled at, I would of stay with Nami," Zoro responded.
The girl turned to Zoro and recognized him.
"Hey! You're the guy from earlier!" the girl said.
"She now recognized me," Zoro thought.
"You must love swords, right? You have three swords like one of the pirate hunters," the girl said.
"Pirate hunters?" Zoro asked as he started checking out each Katana in the barrel.
"Don'tyou know the guy name Roronoa Zoro?" the girl asked.
"Oh," Zoro responded.
"Yeah! He's in the East Blue, but he's a bad person. He used his swords for money. I can't forgive him," the girl explained, "Why have bad people become stronger these days? All of the famous swordsman have become pirates or hunters, and all the best swords belong to them. The swords are crying you know."
"Everyone has his own reason of living, right? As the times change, the situations also change too," Zoro responded.
"I love to welcome those bad customers, you know? In the past, everyone who is going to the Grand Line would stop at my store," the owner said, "But after that monster has come to this town, all of my customers are gone. I'm in trouble, you know?"
"Captain Smoker is not a monster!" the girl yelled.
"Any person that eats a devil fruit is a monster!" the owner yelled.
"Devil Fruit?" Zoro asked.
"No matter what happened, I will use shigure sword to practice and get stronger! Then I will travel around the world and get those swords from bad people," the girl said, "Either they're the best twelve sowrds, or the best twenty-one, or the best fifty! I will risk all my life!"
"So do you want to get this sword too?" Zoro asked holding his Katana, "This is the Wado Ichimonji, right?"
"Eh? Err… Don't misunderstand me. I don't want those swords at all. My point is that I don't want those swords to be in the hands of bad pepople," the girl replied.
"Okay…" Zoro responded.
Zoro pulled a black sheathed and handle sword.
"Ah! This sword is in my book," the girl said taking it.
"Huh?" Zor responded.
The owner wasn't too happy about it.
"This is the Kitetsu III! A real one!" the girl responded and turned to the shop owner, "Did you put it in the barrel because of it's curse?"
"That's correct."
"Curse?" Zoro asked.
"Yes! In the past, the first Kitetsu was the best sword in the world, followed by the second one. However, it has a history of killing anyone who possessed it," the girl replied.
"A curse sword, huh?" Zoro asked as he unsheathed the sword.
Zoro could sense the curse of many deaths in the blade.
"I think I want to buy this sword," Zoro said.
"Are you nuts? I told you that it killed every owner who possessed it! If you die, I'll be held responsible!" the owner yelled.
"Don't be stupid!" his wife responded as she hit him in the head.
"How about this? Let's try to see what is better between my luck and its curse," Zoro said.
Zoro tossed it in the air and stuck his arm out.
Zoro was planning to use Haki if needed.
However it was unneccessary as the sword missed his arm and dugged into the floor.
"I'll take it!" Zoro responded.
The owner fell in shock.
"Hey! Can you pick out one more for me?" Zoro asked.
"Err… sure…" the girl responded.
"Wait!" the owner yelled.
He went into the back room and came out with another well sheathed sword.
"This is the Yubshiri. It is very sharp. It is the best sword I got," the owner said, "I'll be happy to give this and Kitetsu III to you for free as my way for apologizing for tricking you."
"Sounds good!" Zoro agreed.
Zoro took all both swords and left the shop.
"When I have three swords, I feel more secure," Zoro said.
