Pirates: The Strongest Justice

"Wow~ When did you, old man, show up!"

Zoro was frightened by the sudden sound, and his whole body suddenly became excited, and he stood up like a carp!

"Oh? How to explain?"

Atlas was not surprised at all and turned around slowly. He had already noticed the old man's arrival.

"The Third Generation Ghost..."

The old man did not answer Atlas's question. Instead, he looked nostalgic and remained silent for a long time.

"The sword... is a 'human-killing kitchen knife'. It is designed to take people's lives. It is a serious weapon!"

Atlas was not kept waiting for long. The old man spoke like a tiger or a wolf as soon as he opened his mouth, and a fierce aura rushed towards his face.

"babble!!!"

Ignoring Sauron's strange cry, the old man continued, "Each sword has its own personality, and a swordsman must be able to tame it before he can truly use it for his own use!"

"If you say that the dangerous sword is the 'demon sword', that is simply nonsense. It should be called a famous sword. It is just a group of mediocre swordsmen who are afraid of him!"

After saying that, the old man raised his eyes and looked at the third generation of Kitetsu on Atlas's waist, "You didn't really conquer this famous sword, you just used it forcefully based on your courage."

"Are you Mr. Kozaburo?"

Listening to these words that were similar to what Koushiro taught him before, Atlas immediately guessed his identity. Otherwise, it would be difficult to tell that they were father and son just from their appearance. However, Koushiro did not mention their surname of "Shigezuki". The father and son did not take the initiative to reveal it, and Atlas would not take the initiative to reveal it.

The talkative old man in front of him was dressed in a traditional kimono from the country of Wano. His thick hair was tied into a ponytail, and his two eyebrows were connected together. His face was very abstract. He did not look like the smiling good old man like Koushiro at all. On the contrary, There is a kind of evil spirit that is self-inflicted.

"That's right, how did you know, Navy brat?"

Kozaburo was a little surprised. Would he, an old man who lived in seclusion in a small mountain village in the East China Sea, be taken note of by the navy? The navy's intelligence agency is so powerful, but he smuggled out of Wano and came here more than thirty years ago.

"I once studied under Mr. Kosaburo for a period of time, and I was honored to hear Mr. Kosaburo mention you."

"Navy..." Kosaburo looked thoughtful and asked after pondering for a moment, "Canos Atlas? The extremely talented navy that Kosaburo mentioned to me?"

A few years ago, Koushiro did mention to him a marine with excellent swordsmanship talent, but it was so long ago that he could not connect the two for a while.

"You are not just talented!"

Kozaburo showed a meaningful smile.

As a swordsmith who forged countless famous swords, he believed that his eyesight had not diminished much even with his old age. The aura of the navy in front of him was no worse than those powerful men who were famous in the sea.

"you flatter me."

Atlas replied lightly, then turned to look at Zoro, who was still confused.

"Continue our agreement, Zoro."

"Eh? What's the agreement?"

"Join the Navy and pursue your own way of swordsmanship. I hope to see you at the Navy Headquarters in the future! I'm very optimistic about you, but don't let me down."

"This is an agreement between men!"

Looking at Atlas with a serious look on his face, Sauron murmured to himself, "Navy...? It seems not bad."

Then he nodded heavily!

Snapped!

The Third Generation Ghost was solemnly handed over to Sauron's hands in a serious atmosphere.

Very cold!

This was Sauron's first feeling after getting it.

"Are you sure this child can control this third generation ghost, otherwise it will harm him."

Kozaburo began to pour cold water.

"Huh? Are you looking down on me? It's just a demon sword!"

Zoro obviously didn't listen to what Koushiro just said. He only knew that the sword in his hand was a demonic sword that was difficult for ordinary swordsmen to conquer.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zoro took out the Third Generation Ghost in his hand. The black monster pattern and the bright and sharp blade almost completely reflected his face.

"Then let this knife decide for itself!"

The blade was very long, but Zoro still used all his strength to throw the demonic sword into the sky, placing his tiny arms where the sword must pass.

"Appeared……"

Atlas curled his lips, already somewhat mentally prepared for this scene.

Kozaburo didn't stop him, but there was a hint of unknown meaning in his eyes.

shake! shake! shake!

The blade kept spinning in the air, making dull sounds as it rubbed against the air. Time seemed to be infinitely slowed down until...

clang!

Kitetsu fell, but Zoro's arm was still unscathed!

"good."

Atlas had already expected it, but he still praised it with a happy face,

"This kind of courage..."

Kozaburo, on the other hand, was a little distracted. Zoro, who was only 7 years old, had such courage. He didn't know whether it was because he was ignorant or fearless.

Old...

He is indeed old. According to the plot of the manga, Kozaburo should die around 1510 in the Hainan calendar, which means that he only has two years, or at most three years, to live.

"But it seems you don't have your own weapons, right?"

Kozaburo suddenly became concerned about Atlas' weapons, and there seemed to be some hesitation and...reluctance in his eyes.

"It's okay. If we are lucky, my weapon should be on the way."

Atlas said mysteriously, and at the same time added silently in his heart, it is still the national treasure of your Wano country.

He did not fool Kozaburo. According to the time in Atlas's memory, the guy from Moria should have sailed the terrifying three-masted sailing ship into the foggy sea from his hometown in the West Sea two years later. This guy didn't seem to know that it was now. After mining in Wano Country, he still escaped.

"I have a knife here that might work for you."

Kozaburo didn't know that Atlas had already begun to have the idea of ​​​​their Wano country's national treasure, otherwise he would probably regret that he wanted to give him the sword.

"Demon Sword?"

Atlas knew the sword-making skills of the old man in front of him. Wado Ichimonji and Oden's Enma Demon Sword were both made by him. These are two famous swords that rank among the 21st-level swords!

"No, it's not the demon sword." Kozaburo shook his head, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes.

When people get old, it’s easy to miss the past...

"When I was young, I forged a sword that I considered to be the highest in my life, a very real sword! You can feel the chill when you hold it in your hand. I gave that famous sword... "

"The name of the king of hell!"

"However, later I also forged an unknown famous sword. Strictly speaking, it cannot be considered as forging by me..."
