One Piece Fighting for Hegemony from Sharingan

Chapter 23 Eight-faced Han Sword and Tang Sword



Chapter 23 Eight-Faced Han Sword and Tang Sword
……

"What? The two famous swords "He Dao Yi Wen Wen" and "Yan Mo" in Da Kuai Dao 21 were all made by you! "Leon couldn't help but exclaimed.

He really didn't expect that Kuina's grandfather, Kosaburo, was actually a master swordsmith!
Kosaburo had a look of reminiscence on his face, he hummed lightly and said:

"Hmph~ That happened more than 50 years ago! My old name is Kozaburo Shimotsuki, a member of the Shimotsuki family in Wano Country, who is good at forging swords... Later, I left Wano Country, which was locked away, to travel abroad, and then by chance By coincidence, I came to Donghai to settle here, and I also established Yixin Dojo, and Shuangyue Village was also formed little by little in front of my eyes..."

After listening to Kozaburo's self-report, Leon couldn't help sighing:
"I didn't expect you to have such a past! Yixin Dojo and Shuangyue Village were both established by you..."

"How is it! This time you won't question the old man's sword-making skills again?" Kozaburo said a little angrily.

Thinking of Leon's questioning eyes when he asked the other party for the blueprint just now, Kosaburo became furious.

──Thinking that he, a majestic master swordsmith, would be questioned by a layman about his casting skills!
Hmph~ If this kid wasn't Kuina's teacher, he would have kicked her out a long time ago.

Leon laughed dryly and quickly changed the subject.

"Ah~ I'm really sorry. The main reason is that the sword I prepared for Kuina is a bit special, and its craftsmanship is much more complicated than ordinary swords. It is called the Eight-faced Han Sword."

After speaking, Leon took out a blueprint of the Eight-faced Han Sword that he had drawn based on the memory of his previous life from his arms.

"Eight-faced Han Sword? What a strange name, bring it here and let me have a look..."

Kosaburo casually took the drawing, but just glanced at it casually, and he was completely attracted by the beautifully shaped and exquisitely crafted long sword on the drawing.

"Hey~ The strange shape and craftsmanship of the sword... The sword body is long and narrow, and it is ground on eight sides. Ina's kendo philosophy, the two are a perfect match!"

Kozaburo was like a demon, from muttering to himself to the final blow.

Leon was not surprised by this.

Eight-faced Han sword can be said to represent the highest level of Chinese sword-making technology.

Even though the two worlds are not the same, the casting process of the cold weapon is still the same, and it is not surprising that Kozaburo can amaze him.

"So how long will it take to build this sword?" Leon asked seriously.

It has been more than half a month since he left Rogge Town. Although there are phone bugs to communicate with each other, if he does not go back for a long time, some accidents will inevitably happen.

Kozaburo pondered for a moment, then said:
"It will take at least two months! This craft is brand new to me. I need to create a few experimental products to familiarize myself with the craft before I can actually start the furnace to forge swords."

"It took so long!" Leon frowned.

Kozaburo said in an unhappy tone:

"Boy, what's your tone? My speed is fast enough. Of course, I must do the best to make a sword for my granddaughter! I want to use the piece of deep sea black iron that I treasure, so it will take more time .”

"Deep sea black iron?" Leon was a little curious.Is there any treasure in the world of One Piece?
Kosaburo had a smug look on his face.

"Wait first, I will open your eyes later!"

……

Soon, Kosaburo carefully took out a brocade box the size of a basketball from a hidden compartment in the house, and solemnly opened it in front of Leon and Guina.

"Crack~"

Inside the brocade box is a strange iron ore that is the size of a human head and is blue-black in color.With the opening of the brocade box, a breath unique to the deep sea came out...

Leon couldn't help but widen his eyes, and said with some uncertainty: "This thing...why do I feel a bit like Hailou Stone?"

Shimotsuki Kozaburo said triumphantly:

"Hailou stone is a specialty of Wano country, but although it is hard, it is far from tough enough to make swords. Although the effect of deep sea black iron is weaker than that of kailou stone, it is an excellent tool for making swords. Good material. However, the deep sea black iron is extremely rare, and I got this piece by accident... I am afraid that I have searched the entire Wano country, and I can’t find a second piece of deep sea black iron that is so big!"

The effect is weaker than that of Hailou Stone... That is to say ~ weapons made of deep sea black iron can restrain devil fruit ability users!
Lyon was immediately moved.

"Cough~Master Kosaburo, I don't know if there is any remaining piece of deep sea black iron after forging the Eight-faced Han Sword for Kuina. I also want to..."

"You don't need to ask!" Kozaburo slapped the table and interrupted Leon's question directly.

"Really, forget it!" Leon felt very regretful in his heart.

However, Kozaburo said sternly:
"You are Kuina's teacher, and you have accepted her as an inheritance disciple. How can our Shuangyue family not repay such a great favor? This piece of deep sea black iron is enough to make two swords, and I will make one for you too. The weapon is used as Kuina's apprentice ceremony!"

"what?"

The sudden turn of events made Leon, who had already given up his thoughts, startled.But then he reacted, and immediately thanked with ecstasy:
"Really? Thank you! Thank you so much!"

"I didn't expect such a good thing to happen! This makes me a little ashamed of cheating them... um~ I will take care of Kuina more in the future. Anyway, she is my apprentice, and the fat will not flow to outsiders."

Kosaburo also nodded in relief. He has acted upright all his life, and he doesn't want to owe others favors.

He looked at Leon:
"Then what weapon do you want, is it also the Eight-faced Han Sword?"

Leon shook his head, his eyes sparkled with dazzling brilliance:

"No, I want a Tang knife!"

……

Leon in his previous life saw the Tang knife in Bai Yuekui's hand for the first time in "The Spirit Cage", and was deeply fascinated by the beautiful and murderous shape of the knife.

Later, he consulted a lot of information about Tang Dao, so he could understand it better.

Eight-faced Han Sword and Tang Dao, they are the pinnacle of swords and knives among Chinese cold weapons!
Leon doesn't like to use katana with curved blades very much, so he prefers to use his usual navy saber.

Even though he had obtained the two famous knives "Yukizashiro" and "Three Daiki Toru" from the weapon shop in Rogge Town, Leon had no intention of changing the knives.

Today, with Kozaburo Shimotsuki, the master swordsmith from Wano Country, and the superb material deep sea black iron provided by him, Leon finally has the opportunity to obtain his long-awaited weapon!
Next, Leon and Guina stayed in Kosaburo's house for most of the day, and agreed with Kosaburo in detail on the size, weight, shape and other details of the weapon.

After that, the two went straight back to the warship.

"Guina, are you really sure you don't want to go home and take a look?"

"No! I'm going to return to the Yixin Dojo after I become stronger, and now going back halfway will only kill my fighting spirit."

"That's fine, then we'll set off directly and speed up to return to Rogge Town!"

"Ok!"

Leon and Kozaburo agreed to get the weapons in six months.

Originally, Kosaburo patted his chest and promised that the two weapons could be cast in four months.But Leon was not in a hurry, he told Kozaburo not to worry, the most important thing was to ensure the quality of weapons...

After all, it is very likely to be a weapon that will accompany him for the rest of his life, and Leon is very cautious about this.
