Anime Heroine Who Travels Through the Blackened Way

"Wow~!"

Several timid apprentices were so frightened by the scene in front of them that they lost their voices. After all, the woman they saw just now was still talking to them, but the next moment she exploded into blood mist just like in the ghost legend, and the gun The sword that Zoro took and unsealed on his own has undoubtedly confirmed the identity of the demon sword.

"!"

Zoro's originally excited eyes suddenly calmed down. Obviously, he may not have known about the existence of any weird devil fruit abilities, but this weird picture undoubtedly made him understand that this was indeed not a joke. After taking a deep breath , the green algae-headed boy also raised his hand to hold Xia Lan's knife handle, and then slowly pulled it out.

The next moment, a strong chill filled the entire dojo. Both Koushiro and Zoro felt the evil aura that indeed belonged to the demon sword at this moment. The scarlet red blade pattern is like blood, and the finely serrated blade is arranged like the sharp teeth of a wild beast. This is undoubtedly the atmosphere of a pure killing sword.

"...Sure enough, it is a real demon sword..."

Staring at the sharp blade in his hand, Zoro also murmured subconsciously. As a top swordsman, his talent allowed him to instinctively confirm the essence of this Xialan. This is indeed a weapon completely designed for killing and destruction. It is a forged weapon, but it is also definitely a weapon that is as good as any famous sword.

"..."

Koushiro watched all this in silence. Obviously, he had the ability to stop Zoro from being reckless, but it was obviously of no use. After all, if you really want to learn not to be reckless, you must at least experience the costs of being reckless and impulsive.

The originally dense blood-colored mist around it seemed to have suddenly lost its support, and then began to quickly dissipate. This scene made the apprentices immediately feel relieved, and the sounds of relieved breathing also came one after another, completely dispelled by the morning sunshine. After the last ray of red mist, this peaceful little village seemed to have regained its previous tranquility. If it weren't for the Xia Lan in Zoro's hand and the cloak that still existed on the ground, I'm afraid it was just a sudden nightmare.

But no matter what, such a terrifying morning shrouded in blood mist will inevitably become a new legend or even a curse in this village, until the memory of this village is completely lost. Even if it is just a drama directed and performed by one person with ulterior motives, the shock and legend it brings will obviously not be compromised.

"master..."

Looking at Koushiro apologetically, Zoro had obviously vaguely realized that he had gotten into trouble. This Xialan was not only a veritable demon sword, but more importantly, he could no longer throw it away casually at this moment. , in front of these apprentices in the dojo, he has indeed received this demonic sword. If he discards or puts it down, who can continue to suppress this demonic sword? The timid ones will be frightened by the horror and legend of the demon sword, and the ambitious ones may want to use this demon sword as the foundation for their ambitions to sprout.

At this moment, the villagers who had come to the dojo to take shelter undoubtedly saw this scene. From now on, this demon sword will inevitably be connected with the Blood Mist Morning in this village. If the demon sword does not have a strong and determined owner, this kind of invisible fear of the demon sword will The rebellious mentality will inevitably lead to the gradual decline of this village.

Human beings are creatures that can gain courage and hope from the actions of others, but they can also feel fear and despair from the actions of others who abandon their duties.

Zoro's momentary curiosity about the demon sword meant that he had to afford the demon sword for this village. Whether he left or was here, the demon sword had to be with him.

After all, he is the person who can become the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates. Zoro does not lack wisdom at critical moments and has already figured out these things at this time. But as a proud and determined man, he will never shirk or escape.

"Your current cultivation level is not enough to control the demon sword, so the demon sword must be kept by the dojo first."

Koushiro sighed, but raised his hand and took Xia Lan from Zoro's hand. Obviously, the master's love for Zoro was obvious. This was not only helping Zoro take responsibility, but also telling him His dojo will be on Zoro's side.

"I can do it. I'm ready to travel anyway."

Although he was very touched by Koushiro's love and care, Zoro still wanted to take the responsibility himself, but Koushiro just shook his head slightly: "You don't have to go out of your way. I have a hunch that the challengers you want will probably come to you in an endless stream in the future." Come on, just stay in the dojo until I think you can safely take the demon sword with you on the road."

After saying that, Koushiro took Xia Lan into the training ground of the dojo, and then placed the demon sword on the sword stand on the dojo platform. Obviously, this place will be the future location of the demon sword until Zoro Until Koushiro allows him to leave.

Suspended in mid-air, Nami naturally heard the conversations below, and there was a trace of guilt in her eyes. There is no doubt that Sauron's destiny has also changed after Dusqi and Noqigao. Originally, he was supposed to travel in the past two years and become a famous pirate hunter, but now it seems that he must stop in this dojo to deal with the challengers who will appear soon, and these challenges The perpetrators are absolutely ruthless and unscrupulous.

"Successful, you can proceed with the next step of the plan. According to what I told you, the story of an infinitely powerful demon sword appearing in taverns in various towns will spread to every corner of this sea area in the form of legends. go."

Back on the ship, Nami was talking to the ordinary pirates on the Al Rita, because they were about to perform a task that was quite satisfying to them, which was to take the distributed money and goods to various places. Drinking and bragging freely in the town's taverns allowed the demon sword Xia Lan, which appeared with the blood-colored mist, to spread its name throughout the sea area in the shortest possible time.

"Then, after the brand [Yao Dao Xia Lan] is completely heated up, it is time for us to start harvesting."

(PS1: Ahem~ It should be okay to trick Zoro, anyway, it can be regarded as giving him a blow~)

(PS2: Second update~~Continue to ask for tickets and blades, give me the motivation to continue the third update~~)

The new destiny of the swordsman

"Although the new blade may not be as good as the first-generation Xialan, which was recast by Onitsuru, it is still possible to reach the level of a good sword when pursuing speed. However, if you want to achieve faster progress, Then I have to find some helpers who can cast it with me.”

There was a hint of fatigue in Yegoro's voice, and his hands were wrapped in thick bandages. This was a direct result of his impulse to touch the blade when Xia Lan was being cast, although he only touched the flat surface of the blade. , however, Xia Lan, whose blood poison had penetrated into the texture during the blood quenching process, still unceremoniously caused the skin of his hands to start bleeding heavily. If Nami had not used her own ability to help him stop the bleeding in time, I am afraid that This blacksmith who finally succeeded in progress will be the first to become the victim of the demon sword Xia Lan.

"This is not a problem. In my personal knowledge, there is no process that cannot be completed by the assembly line. If you are worried about your skills being lost, then divide the casting process into several stages and details, and you can master the most important one yourself. Let others do the rest.”

Nami does not intend to let Yegoro complete the task of forging the sword alone. The first is that it consumes too much energy for one person, and the second is to distract the other party's importance. Whether it is controlling the other party or protecting the other party, this is Very important means.

"...Well, without your blue eyes, I wouldn't have been able to realize the new knife-making skills, so I'll leave it up to you."

After thinking for a moment, Yegoro accepted the reality rationally. After all, he knew very well that if it weren't for Nami's help, he would not have the experience of casting Xia Lan now even if he continued to forge. Moreover, Nami's knife-making requirement at the time was that she 'needs a famous sword that can be sold for millions of beli', not just one. So how many of this kind he needs to make can only be said by Nami. Calculate. After all, his request has been fulfilled by Nami, so now it is up to him to fulfill this agreement that is likely to last a lifetime.

"Just take a good rest first, and then cast a copy of Xialan within this month. I predict that you may not be required to put in work until at least next month."

After giving instructions to Yegoro, Nami was not worried about the speed of information dissemination in this era of pirates. Especially some news that was dubbed the legend of gods and ghosts was very fast. And under the influence of her special publicity, this speed of dissemination was extremely fast. It will speed up several times more.

"Hello? Have you heard about it? In the Seymour Shiki Village not far away, it is said that a terrifying demon sword appeared, and it is now being suppressed by the Taoist Master of Yishin Dojo."

"Oh, that's right. I've heard about it too. I have a relative who lives in Seymour Zhiji Village. It's said that the entire sky and fog turned into blood mist that day, all because of the terrifying demon sword. It’s coming.”

"It's really scary. I heard that the demon sword's own soul brought it all the way to Seymour Zhiji Village. If the Taoist Master of Yixin Dojo didn't help suppress it, then the whole village would be doomed! "

"However, if you can become the master of such a powerful demon sword, then I'm afraid the world will be in your hands!"

Similar remarks one after another have undoubtedly become a hot topic in the entire East China Sea region during this period, and the focus of the topic has gradually changed from fear and uneasiness, and then turned into speculation about the power of the demon sword, and how to do it. Taming It Discussion.

Some people think that it requires an extraordinary master and swordsman, while others argue that since it is a demon sword, it must have an ambitious master. But this change of topic has undoubtedly changed from a simple fear of legends to a desire for power. Driven by this desire and speculation, the power of this demonic sword has been publicized more and more outrageously.

"A demon sword that can grant people's wishes? What is that?"

In a tavern in Donghai Windmill Village, a young man sitting in front of the counter biting a chicken leg looked curiously at a group of noisy drinkers not far away. The red vest and simple shorts and straw sandals completely reveal the unique atmosphere of a country boy, and the rounded straw hat carried on his back is nothing surprising, giving anyone the first impression. He is just an ordinary greedy boy.

"About half a month ago, a terrible thing happened in Seymour Shiki Village. Luffy, don't you know?"

The person who answered the boy was none other than the proprietress of the tavern, Maginot. This beautiful and gentle green-haired woman thoughtfully served the straw hat boy a glass of beer while patiently explaining: "I heard that it was a sudden burst of terrible blood mist. The village was shrouded, and then a mysterious woman visited the local Isshin Dojo with a demon sword named Xia Lan. After requesting to suppress the demon sword, she was directly killed by the demon sword and turned into a blood mist. So, now everyone is Discussing what kind of power that demonic sword has, I heard that it seems to be able to fulfill a person’s wish.”

There is no doubt that this ordinary boy sitting here is undoubtedly the real protagonist of this pirate era. His name is Monkey D. Luffy. He is a boy who grew up in this town since he was a child. His personality is also different. He is not naughty. Although he has a very strange desire to go to sea, it does not hinder the villagers' sense of him.

"Oh, if you can make your wish come true, that's really awesome."

Even though he said that, Luffy obviously didn't have any special tone and emotion, and Maginot beside him couldn't help but said jokingly: "What's wrong? Isn't Luffy excited? If he can really rely on that knife If your wish is fulfilled, wouldn't it be able to fulfill Luffy's wish to go to sea that you have had since childhood?"

There is no doubt that the ability to realize a wish does not exist, but the particularity of legend is that it can sometimes blind people's wisdom, allowing them to believe things that are obviously not true.

The only possible way not to be deceived by it is to have absolutely no belief or interest in it. But the temptation of realizing a wish is so great that there are very few people who are immune to this temptation.

"No, becoming the Pirate King is what I want to do, why should I ask for a sword?"

But the boy named Luffy sitting here just answered like this with a slight smile and childishness. This made Maginot, who was expecting his answer with a smile, subconsciously stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. This beautiful green-haired woman also pressed Luffy's head very hard: "As expected. It's Luffy, he is indeed much smarter than the other adults."

"Magino, I have grown up, please stop pressing my head."

"Then I'll add a piece of bone-in meat to you?"

"No, two dollars."

Compared to the peaceful situation here in Windmill Village, the overall atmosphere of Seymour Zhiji Village has undoubtedly changed drastically, and the reason is naturally the demon sword Xia Lan of Yishin Dojo.

Ding~~! !

A vibrating metallic sound spread throughout the dojo, and a bright sword swirled down from mid-air, and finally fell to the floor. Accompanying this sound was the cry of pain from a tall swordsman. The thing that was knocked away was undoubtedly his sword. Zoro opposite him looked at the flashy guy in front of him with ridicule: "Hey, hey, hey, you just wanted to see the demon sword in a show of force. For a guy like you who can't even hold the sword steady, you should go home and practice for two more years."
