Chapter 9. The demon sword is useless, go to the North Sea
After Kazan took the wooden scabbard, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he walked around the dilapidated weapon shop under the kind gaze of the old lady.
The weapons shop inside was also very dilapidated. They were all old, weak and sick. There was a piece missing here and a corner missing somewhere. Kazan's eyes were shocked.
but.
Kazan looked at the long knife in his hand with a trace of light red wrapped around the blade and handle.
This light red color was not intentionally dyed during production, but is a very contradictory color that was acquired for unknown reasons.
He deliberately turned his back to the old lady and stretched out his ghost hand to feel the long knife.
Ghost hands, in pleasure.
This light red color is probably stained by blood.
How many creatures must be killed to make a knife look like this?
Kazan speculated that this sword should be similar to the third-generation ghost sword and Luo's Ghost Cry. It only reached the level of "quick sword", but it was considered a kind of demon sword due to acquired reasons.
Kazan noticed that this knife was not caused by any special induction. Kazan did not notice anything special about this knife before the ghost hand came into contact with it.
The reason why he would pick up this knife is very simple. Its length is the same as the black knife.
155cm.
There are still relatively few knives of this length, and they are usually customized individually for people with larger bodies.
"Grandma, do you believe in fate?"
"roll."
"...?"
Kazan was driven out by the old woman with a broom. At the same time, the blood-stained demon knife was thrown out. This demon knife also had no scabbard.
But fortunately, the old lady threw out a broken wooden scabbard, which was exactly the same as the one used by the black sword Dark Moon.
Kazan looked at the two long knives with broken wooden scabbards in his hands, and suddenly felt as if he had suffered some strange fate.
Didn't think much about it.
The first thing Kazan did when he left the weapons store was to turn around, bow to the weapons store, and silently thank him.
"I, Kazan, will try my best to refine it into a black sword and become the strongest in the world, worthy of the gift from grandma."
Walking in the alleyway leaving, Kazan whispered a few words softly.
The ghost hand picked up the demon knife again, and two small words gently appeared on the handle.
useless.
"Demon Sword - Useless, this is your name."
"Let me introduce you, this is your brother, Black Knife-Dark Moon."
"Ah... no, it was Moonlight who came before, so it should be your sister."
"You two should get to know each other. We will be partners from now on. We should get along well."
Kazan was walking, holding up two black knives and talking to himself.

The new world, a corner of Wano.
A sloppy old man was telling history to a cute little boy with navy blue hair.
"Legend has it that the swordsman Ryoma, the swordsman of Wano Country, was defeated by a great swordsman five hundred years ago because he underestimated his opponent."
"Later, Mr. Ryoma went to challenge again. That battle lasted only a moment, but it seemed like a lifetime had passed. No one knew how thrilling the battle was, but fortunately, Mr. Ryoma won..."
"On that day, dark clouds were overwhelming, and no sunlight could be seen in Wano Country, and no one could see the battle clearly."
"The opponent was later called the second greatest swordsman in the world. Cyrano, who was born in the Western Sea, was also the only great swordsman to defeat Mr. Ryoma."
"Mr. Ryoma has praised the sword in the opponent's hand more than once. It is a guardian sword comparable to Qiushui. It is also the dream blade that we, the samurai of Wano Country, most want to possess besides Qiushui."
"But Mr. Ryoma had a question until his death. Why did Cyrano hate his sword so much that he even called it..."
"The demon sword - useless."
The little boy's eyes sparkled as he listened to the history told by his grandfather, and he swore an oath: "I must find the Dream Blade!"
——————
"Oh ho~ It actually worked."
At this time, Kazan has entered the dual-blade form that activates blood rage.
However, the sword in his left hand is no longer a pure blood sword, but a demon sword with the blood of ghost hands flowing on the blade - useless.
The Blood of Ghost Hands was actually willing to 'cooperate' with Demon Sword Wuyou, each taking a part without devouring each other.
Kazan originally thought that with the tyranny of the ghost hand, he would definitely swallow all the demonic sword into his blood.
"In this way, you don't have to worry about the previous situation where the blood knife collapsed."
"Yes, you can truly become a second-swordsman."
Feng Clay looked at the bloody blade in Kazan's left hand and the black knife in his right hand. Neither of these two knives gave him a slightly comfortable feeling.
No matter which knife it was, he had a feeling that as long as he got close to it, it would produce an ominous feeling or even death.
"You guy, now your whole body is filled with a kind of 'monster' aura."
"Oh? Really, thank you for the compliment."
"I didn't praise you!!!"
"Being called a monster on the sea is something to be proud of. Xiao Feng, you should make this your goal."
"I don't want to be called a monster! I just want to be called a she-mon!"
"Okay, okay, I don't want to talk to you about these useless things. Let's go and hunt more pirate groups. All pirate groups with fifteen million or less will be solved by you alone."
"What! You want me to die!"

In the following time, the two little guys experienced scenes like this countless times.
Before I knew it, more than a year had passed.
Haiyuan calendar year 1503.
In the West Sea, on a naval warship docked next to an island on the edge.
Navy warship captain interior.
Two thirteen-year-old Miba youths were leaning on the sofa, drinking tea and chatting.
"Kazan, are you really ready to go to the Grand Line?"
"Nonsense, do you think there is anyone in Xihai who can beat the two of us?"
"Well... there should be."
"What the hell, listen carefully to what the sailors outside say about us."
Feng Clay listened to Kazan's voice, lying on the door panel and listening to the sounds coming from outside.
"Wow, look at these two brats, they are so scary."
"Even the ninety million pirates from the Grand Line are no match for them."
"These are completely the two strongest pirate hunters in the world."
"Why don't you recruit the navy? It would be dangerous if these two guys are left alone."
"You think the navy doesn't want to? It's not that they haven't recruited, but they have been rejected. I heard that the navy who went to recruit was almost killed."
...
Feng Clay listened for a while, then walked over to Kazan and sat down indifferently.
"We won't really become the strongest in the world, right?"
"Of course not. There are people stronger than us in any part of the sea, but they just haven't jumped out, especially in the Beihai area."
"So, next we just need to follow the request of the phone call just now and drive through the windless zone towards the Grand Line?"
"Yes, there is a place where we can become stronger as quickly as possible. I am very anxious. I have to pick up people. I have to hurry up and become stronger."
"Who?"
"My sister, I will introduce you to her later."
"oh."
Brubru.
Brubru.
Feng Clay looked at the buzzing phone bug on the table, and with a move of his right hand, it turned into a middle-aged man wearing a navy uniform.
"Hello?"
"Temporarily changing the route, you go to Faroe Island in the North Sea and hand over to the naval branch there."
"yes."
Click.
"How to fix it?"
"What else can we do? Let's go to Beihai and meet those monsters."
After Kazan said that, he lay down directly to sleep, quietly thinking about some things in his mind.
And Feng Kley left the captain's cabin in this manner.
"Change route, destination, North Sea!"
"yes!!!"

Ps: There is a fatal problem here.
If you want to communicate with each other between the Northwest Sea, it looks like this based on Oda's map: West Sea → Windless Zone → Grand Route → Windless Zone → North Sea.
But this is nonsense. If there is no communication between the four seas like this, Doflamingo was already famous underground in the four seas before entering the Grand Line. If he can get the sea tower stone
I'm not surprised about the warship at the bottom of the ship, but how did he manage to make the transaction cross the windless zone of the Grand Line and even have a red earth continent to reach the other three areas? Does it have to rely on the Upside Down Mountain, but the water flow in the Upside Down Mountain is
It goes in the opposite direction, from bottom to top. Even a warship cannot go against that kind of torrent.
In One Piece, apart from Vinsmoke using a snail to cross the Red Continent to reach the East China Sea, there is no other way to communicate with the four seas. You can't really cross the Grand Line. If you don't say that pirates are rampant, then the weather is not universal.
Businessmen can handle it. And even if there is a way to cross the Red Earth Continent, it can only communicate between the East China Sea and the North Sea, the West Sea and the South China Sea, and the kind of snails that can cross the Red Earth Continent are not available in all kinds of things.
.
This problem is not easy to solve. In the early stage of the original work, it was said that naval warships can travel between the four seas. As a result, Oda himself did not give a reasonable explanation for this later. He was probably confused and could not make up for it here.
Don't care too much about this place.
There are too many pitfalls in the early stage. Just like when the Creek Pirates were chased back to the East China Sea by Hawkeye, it was impossible to walk up the Upside Down Mountain. Was it possible to cross the Red Earth Continent by carrying a boat? Or with their method?
How can I cross the windless zone with this kind of strength? Oda didn’t give an explanation here, so it couldn’t fix any pitfalls.
Let's just assume that Kazan and the others used the navy's special channel to cross the two windless zones and the Grand Line. After all, this is not a strange thing. Just like the Justice-Marinfando-Impel, the navy has its own special channel.
There should also be between the northwest sea and the southeast sea, and then the northeast and southwest pass under the red earth continent through coating. Only this explanation can fill this hole.
