Chapter 367

Ipponmatsu stood up straight and looked up at Karl.

"Vice Admiral Karl, this sword, no money! However, I have a small request. I want to appreciate your sword, Shusui! Please!"

Ipponmatsu put his hands together and bowed 90 degrees. As expected of a descendant of Wano Country people, he had a very bowing-craftsman spirit.

"Hahaha, the boss is really generous. But I won't let you suffer a loss."

"Shusui, if you want to appreciate it, then appreciate it. But Berries, I have to give them to you too. Since you don't name a price, I'll just give what I think is right."

After speaking, Karl pretended to take out money, then randomly took out a handful of Berries from the system space. They were all 5000 denominations, about 1 million Berries in a handful, and slapped them on the table.

"These are what you deserve. Take them. The Navy will not take a single needle or thread from the people for nothing."

Ipponmatsu was suddenly moved. As expected of a Navy Hero! This pattern is too big!

"Thank you, thank you!"

Karl waved his hand, drew the Shusui from his waist, and placed it on the table. Ipponmatsu's eyes were worth it. At this moment, Berries were like waste paper in front of him.

Ipponmatsu took a deep breath, put on gloves and a small magnifying glass very professionally, and picked up Shusui with a solemn face, placing it on the prepared sword rack.

"This is the sword that once killed a giant dragon! It is simply breathtakingly beautiful."

"Thick, tough, as expected of the sword of the dragon-slaying samurai. Cough cough, of course, it is also its honor to be used by you."

Karl chuckled and didn't say much.

Actually, he rarely uses Shusui now because it has been branded with Ryuma's mark, and its truly recognized master is only Ryuma.

Especially as Karl's swordsmanship cultivation deepened, this feeling became more and more intense.

This indirectly led to Karl feeling inexplicably uncomfortable when using Shusui. Although it didn't affect the battle, it always felt strange psychologically.

There was no such feeling when using Raven and Raiu. Of course, this situation only exists with good swords. Skillful swords like Yubashiri and Shigure don't have this problem at all.

After appreciating it for a while, Ipponmatsu sighed: "If my father could see the dragon-slaying samurai's sword with his own eyes, I'm afraid he could die in peace."

Karl smiled slightly and didn't say much. Perhaps this is the influence of the unique samurai culture of Wano Country people...

The scene returns to the Straw Hat Pirates side.

After leaving Shells Town, Luffy and Zoro somehow arrived at Orange Town and defeated Captain Buggy together with Nami here. Although Nami didn't immediately agree to Luffy joining the Straw Hat Pirates, she had gradually recognized Luffy in her heart.

He is indeed different from other pirates, but she also has her own concerns.

After all, when she was a child, Cocoyasi Village was saved by the Navy, and she also promised that man that they would meet on the sea.

All the efforts she made were to successfully reach the Grand Line and see that man again.

However, Nami didn't want to meet that man as a pirate, so following Luffy was just an expedient measure.

But after experiencing the events in Syrup Village, Nami wavered a bit.

Because Luffy had a ship, a ship big enough to carry her to the Grand Line—the Going Merry.

Since both are going to be navigators, what is the difference between a merchant ship and a pirate ship? Besides, merchant ships have to look at seniority. Does anyone really believe her, a young girl?
