Chapter 366

Loguetown.

"I said, where did you two run off to! Why, starting to return to your old profession again?"

Ain walked up with a smile and hugged Karl's arm. Tashigi looked straight at Karl, wanting to say something but stopping.

"Sigh, who told me I have a hard life? It's not easy to come out once and still have to work. People's hearts are not what they used to be~"

Smoker rolled his eyes, turned his head to look at Morgan, and said: "Escort him to the cell."

"Yes!"

Karl pinched Ain's shoulder: "How did you guys play while I was away? It's not bad here, right?"

"Hmm, of course. Tashigi and I visited the whole Loguetown, and I bought a lot of specialties!"

"Hahaha, as long as you're happy."

Ain nodded, seemingly thinking of something, and hurriedly said: "Yesterday I heard someone say that there is a floating restaurant called Baratie in the East Blue, right in the Sambas sea area. It is said that the chef's craftsmanship there is very good. Karl, I want you to accompany me... will you~"

To maximize the effect of acting like a spoiled child, Ain specially turned into a crystal-clear little girl, not even as high as Karl's thigh.

Little girl Ain shook Karl's justice cloak in such a spoiled and cute way, as if not agreeing to her would be a heinous crime.

"Alright, alright, alright, I agree, I agree. But let's talk about it in two days. At least let me stroll around Loguetown first, right?"

"Good! It's a deal. I'll take you. Oh right, Tashigi, didn't you have something you wanted to say to Karl?"

Tashigi's face turned red, and she stood shyly in front of Karl: "Vice Admiral Karl, I saw a shop selling swords here yesterday. I heard there is a famous sword in this shop, but I... I can't find it."

Karl touched his chin: "You want me to help you find that famous sword?"

"Hmm, please, Vice Admiral Karl."

Good guy, Tashigi wouldn't be trying to pry away Zoro's Sandai Kitetsu and Wado Ichimonji, right? Like this... I like it.

"Alright, Ain, you come too! Eh wait, Tashigi, don't you already have Shigure? Besides, aren't you a one-sword style user?"

Tashigi said seriously: "I just don't want famous swords to lie on the shelves unattended..."

Oh, I remember now. Tashigi's dream is to collect all the famous swords taken away by evildoers. Buying two swords for collection is very normal and logical.

"Alright then! Let's go! Smoker, you go busy yourself first! I'll come find you later!"

"Sure, you guys go!"

Weapon shop.

The boss, who had the demeanor of a colonel, was resting with his chin in his hand and woke up immediately after hearing the movement at the door.

Sigh~ Speaking of which, it's really a bitter tear. Before Smoker came, the public security in Loguetown was average. Even with a Navy base, there were quite a few pirates. His business was so good back then!

But ever since Smoker came, pirates who dared to land in Loguetown had only one end: being dealt with by Rear Admiral Smoker, without exception.

This also caused his business to plummet. If he caught a fat sheep, he had to fleece it to death. Isn't that right, fat sheep—no, guests—are coming to the door?

"Oh my, just say whatever weapon you want to buy. This is a century-old shop of mine. There are absolutely no defective products!"

Because the person who came in first was Ain, she was wearing casual clothes and wearing the jewelry Karl gave her. She looked like a little rich woman. No wonder the weapon shop boss was so excited.

However, after seeing Tashigi walk in behind, Ipponmatsu's (the weapon shop boss) face immediately collapsed.

It's this confused bug who only looks but doesn't buy again. Sigh, so annoying.

Just as he wanted to ask Tashigi to leave, Ipponmatsu's gaze saw Karl, who came in later, mainly the black sword Shusui and Raiu hanging at Karl's waist.

"My god! This, isn't this Wano Country's national treasure, Shusui? How could it be in... Ah! You, you are the Navy Hero, Karl!!!"

Ipponmatsu was shocked. Although he heard yesterday that the new era's Navy Hero had arrived in Loguetown, it seemed like no one had seen him. He thought it was a rumor!

But he never expected that the Navy Hero had actually come and appeared in his small shop.

To him, Karl was not just a Navy Hero; he was a powerhouse standing at the peak of swordsmanship, just like the world's greatest swordsman, Mihawk.

Karl walked slowly to Ipponmatsu and looked down at him: "Are you from Wano Country?"

"Yes, no, not really. My father was from Wano Country. I was born in Loguetown since I was a child. Because I specialize in selling swords, my father often mentioned to me Wano Country's long-lost national treasure—the black sword Shusui—and felt sorry for it, so I was so excited."

Karl smiled slightly: "No need to be so nervous. I just brought my subordinates here to choose two good swords. Do you have any here?"

"Subordinates? Is it this confused bug—ah no, this beautiful lady?"

Tashigi raised her head suddenly and looked at Ipponmatsu with shame and anger: "I'm not a confused bug, I, I just have difficulty making choices..."

"Sorry, sorry, it's my fault." Ipponmatsu hurriedly apologized.

Karl waved his hand: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Take out all the good swords in your shop and let us see!"

Hearing this, a tangled look appeared on Ipponmatsu's face. He did have good swords, but compared to Karl's Shusui or Raiu, none of them could be called good.

"Sigh! Vice Admiral Karl, since you've said so, I won't hide it anymore. Please wait a moment." After speaking, Ipponmatsu turned and ran to the back room, and not long after, he came out with a sword that looked quite good.

"Vice Admiral Karl, this is my family heirloom, the Skillful Grade sword—Yubashiri. Black lacquer scabbard, irregular blade pattern, extremely sharp. It can cut hair as it blows by."

Tashigi, on the side, opened her mouth in surprise. There really was a famous sword. Although it was only a Skillful Grade sword, it was already quite good.

Not every swordsman could hold three top-tier famous swords like Vice Admiral Karl.

No, except for Shusui, Raven and Raiu only ranked among the Supreme Grade and Great Grade swords because they were in Vice Admiral Karl's hands.

"Yubashiri? Hmm, looks pretty good. Here, Tashigi, what do you think?"

Tashigi was like getting a treasure, opening her eyes wide to observe every detail of Yubashiri.

"Yubashiri... sounds like one can imagine a scene of walking quietly in the snow, or a scene of snowflakes falling slowly. Cold and sharp, it's really a good sword!"

Karl raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Tashigi to be so professional in appreciating famous swords. Almost forgot, besides Yubashiri, there was also Sandai Kitetsu here.

Forget it, leave it for Zoro. He has no use for this thing, and Tashigi can't control it either.

"Since you like it, then buy it! Boss, name your price!"

Karl, who carried tens of billions of Berries with him, is just that confident when he speaks!
