I'm a pirate in Tokyo

Volume 1 The Jolly Roger of Faith Chapter 9 It’s really hard to be a swordsman

The next day, Saturday, there was only half a day of classes.

After school.

Wu Sheng packed his schoolbag and looked up to see Nami standing next to him.

"You didn't work today, did you?" Wu Sheng asked in a low voice.

"No, no, let's go, go directly to the subway station to meet." Nami said and waved her hand.

"OK, let's go."

With Eligo's awakening, the gang learned more about the consciousness space.

Especially weapons, because the world of crime is formed by public consciousness, so in reality the weapons that people recognize will get special bonuses in the palace.

Just like swords, spears, and halberds, even if they are not sharpened in reality, as long as people subconsciously feel dangerous when looking at them, they will become real sharp blades in the palace.

It turns out that all they brought in were bamboo swords and training sticks, and people in the real world wouldn't think they were very lethal.

Therefore, they all rely on the bonus of soul power to fight, which is extremely laborious.

Yesterday's encounter made Wu Sheng very unhappy. Usually when you see this kind of character on TV, you don't feel anything at all. But when you actually meet him, you realize that he is really annoying.

Today, in order to increase his combat power and quickly deal with that scumbag, Wu Sheng decided to use his own small treasury to purchase some intimidating-looking weapons for everyone in advance.

Last night, Wu Sheng had already found several stores selling weapons in the sports equipment stores near the university in Jimbocho.

And Luffy also knew that there were several shops selling imitation firearms and military daggers in Shibuya.

So everyone decided to take advantage of the fact that there was only half a day of class on Saturday and arm everyone before the strategy.

-----------------

Walking on the road to Jimbocho, looking at the various ancient books and second-hand bookstores piled up along the street, Nami looked a little confused: "Isn't it bad to use all Takeda's money?"

They had already heard Wu Sheng introduce their situation, and they felt a little sorry.

"Ah, I have brought all the pocket money and competition bonuses I have saved since childhood. It is about more than 30. It should be enough, right?" Zoro patted his schoolbag.

"What!? So you are that rich?" Nami was shocked. She didn't expect that this green-haired man who looked like a poor man had so much money.

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter. Didn't Luffy insist on relying on his fists instead of weapons?" Wu Sheng smiled and waved his hand.

"Besides, I'm lending you this money. You can just pay me back when you have the money.

The economy is not good now, banks are already close to negative interest rates, and I won’t take risks in investment and financial management, so putting it in the bank is the same as putting it in your place. "

"Ah, you think so much..." Nami sighed, "It feels like Takeda is like an adult, with mature ideas."

"Hahahaha, right? Sauron's 30W may not be enough..." Wu Sheng changed the subject in the name of haha.

"Hey, is it? It's impossible, right?" Lu Mao touched his chin, "I remember it seems to be enough."

"Hahahaha, don't be afraid, I also brought money. If you don't have enough, I can make up for it!" Luffy patted Zoro on the back.

It seems that all the friends have brought out their own little treasury.

After a while, they walked to the sword shop [Nongzhou Hall] that Wu Sheng noticed yesterday.

As soon as they entered, everyone was greeted by the glowing blades of samurai swords scattered all over the store.

The decorative furniture throughout the store is all made of raw wood, and all the knives displayed in the cabinets are blades without handles.

The handle of the knife is installed after purchase, so that the purchaser can buy a knife with a handle that perfectly fits the grip of his or her hand.

Each cabinet in the store is equipped with strong spotlights so that customers can more clearly see the blade pattern of the sword, as well as the swordmaker's inscription and knife series inserted under the front edge.

Nami, whose imagination was limited by poverty, went in and took a look, and was so shocked that she stood on the spot.

Because each knife has a 7-8 digit price marked on it!

Nami smiled reluctantly and said: "Ah ha...ah ha ha... this price... let's go to other places to check it out."

But Sauron's eyes were shining when he looked at these swords, and he was already in a trance.

Wu Sheng and Luffy were also a little embarrassed. They had already promised to help make up the price difference, but looking at these knives with prices ranging from 800 million yen to 2000 million yen, they felt like they really didn't have enough money.

At this time, the store owner shouted: "Welcome! Do the four guests need anything? I can introduce it to you."

"Well...let's take a look first..." The three people who were about to drag Sauron back came back in embarrassment.

"If you are interested, you can ask me for advice. All the collections in our store have "Genuine Swords" certificates issued by the swordsmiths and appraisal certificates from the Japanese Swordsmanship Association." The store replied politely, but also I don’t think these young students can really buy it.

"You should come here to gain some knowledge...it's so good to be young!" The store owner touched his Mediterranean.

The four of them walked around and looked at each other, feeling as if they were in a new world.

To give a vivid example, they were still doing mushroom picking tasks in Novice Village, but they went directly to the weapons shop in front of the level 99 final BOSS King's City.

"Well, we are not here to buy collectibles. Boss, do you have any new knives here that have not been sharpened?" As an adult, Wu Sheng still resisted the impact of wealth, and asked the store firmly.

"My classmate is in the kendo club. He insists on getting a professional real sword and wants to practice swinging it... Ah, he must be in the second grade of middle school before he passes... I obviously bought it for cosplay. An iron knife will do." After saying that, he sighed with a hopeless expression.

"That's different! Those iron materials that look like toys are not worthy of being called knives at all!" The store owner said with a serious face: "Buying those is a real waste of money!"

An expression that says I’m going to open your eyes today.

Then he added: "There are some bladeless knives. To be honest, I don't dare sell edged swords to teenagers.

But the price is not cheap. What is your budget? "

"I brought 30W here." Zoro said impatiently after hearing this.

"Ah, that's not enough. Our cheapest one is around 50W." The store owner said regretfully.

"Oh? Can we take a look?" Wu Sheng said.

"Of course, we have tachi, wakizashi, and katana. Can I recommend them to you?" the store owner asked. (The difference between these types of knives lies in the different blade lengths.)

"Let's take a look." Zoro thought for a while and returned.

"Oh! Forget about the Odachi sword. It's too long. It's okay for collection. I'd rather play with it." Then the store took out two sword blades from the lower booth in the right corner.

"Look at this Sanskrit large-cut knife, a Yamato series jade-steel precision-forged knife with a blade length of 72 centimeters. The steel is jade-steel precision-forged and polished using advanced handcrafted ancient methods. For 55 yen, it is considered a top-quality work."

"This one, Tengu Takatama, is also a Yamato series sword. It is about 71 centimeters. It is also finely forged with jade steel and ground with advanced hand-made ancient methods. This one is cheaper, 48 yen."

The boss introduced the two knives respectively, "Because both are modern works, there is no appraisal certificate but a 'real knife' certificate. However, jade steel precision forging is different from ordinary stainless steel and high-forging material." oh!

After all, a sword that is not made of jade steel cannot be called a samurai sword! "

"Oh oh oh oh oh!" Luffy was stimulated by the last sentence and said loudly: "How about we buy both of them back!"

The blade patterns of the two knives shone silver on the glass cabinet.

Zoro gently stroked the blades of the two knives and nodded involuntarily.

He picked it up and weighed it gently, feeling very satisfied:

The sword body of Tengu Gongyu is pure black, the blade pattern below is an irregular wavy pattern, and the tip is a relatively ordinary knife tip.

The Sanskrit Daikiri sword has a silver-gray blade with a relatively smooth blade pattern from the tip to the handle. The occasional twists and turns are not too big. The biggest feature is that its tip is not an ordinary semi-circle. It is long, narrow and sharp, and you can imagine being pierced by this knife at a glance.

Seeing Zoro looking like he couldn't put it down, and the other people showing no signs of timidity, the store owner suddenly felt that he should be able to close the deal today.

So he actively promoted: "If you buy two of them together, I can decide and give you a small change. The total of the two is 100 million yen, and I will give you a scabbard, how about it!"

The voice is seductive, as if I saw you like knives, so I gave you a lot of blood to make it so much cheaper.

Wu Sheng ignored it and calculated in his mind. He felt that the price was still within the acceptable range for him, but he still had to buy long guns and imitation firearms. Now they had already exceeded one million, and he didn’t know how much more money he would need to buy them next. over.

"But it's too reckless to decide to buy after only seeing two of them?" Wu Sheng was about to ask the store to take out a few more for a look.

They saw that Luffy and Zoro had already taken out all the money in their pockets and counted them.

"But it's still not enough!" After counting, both of them turned to look at Wu Sheng, their eyes saying this.

The two of them added up to a total of 2, and Luffy actually brought out more than 59. I don’t know where he got the money.

"Hey, hey, don't you want to look at anything else?" Wu Sheng said helplessly, covering his face.

"Yeah, it's always good to take a closer look." Nami said, indicating that there are other stores here, so don't buy from the first one.

"No! I can lift these two very well. The boss is very good. He can tell at a glance which knife is suitable for me!" Zoro said seriously, then looked at Wu Sheng sheepishly, "It's just the remaining money... ..”

"Okay, these are the two." Without further ado, Wu Sheng took out his wallet from his schoolbag and took out a stack of Fukuzawa Yukichi. He also liked these two knives.

Needless to say about the character of this group of people, Zoro's self-esteem as a young man also needs to be taken into consideration.

"Oh? Thank you for your patronage!" the boss shouted loudly. He really didn't expect that it would be so easy to make a deal.

"Thank you, Takeda and Luffy, I will return it to you in the future." Zoro said seriously.

"Hahaha, why are you so polite? We are brothers who fight together." Luffy said with a laugh. (The Japanese gangsters have a saying that they worship brothers. Luffy does not mean the meaning of "brother" in Chinese)

"Well, you're welcome. Just pay it back to me before you graduate from high school. You still have to get the Jade Dragon Flag anyway, right?" Wu Sheng said.

The Jade Dragon Flag is the flag awarded to the winner of the Japanese High School Kendo Competition.

As long as they get it, the school will give them a lot of scholarships. After all, their school now aims to be a strong sports school.

"Of course."

"Ah, I'm really impressed by you guys..."

----------------------------

After paying the money, the boss asked Sauron to measure a series of data such as hand length and palm width, so that he can tailor the sword hilt: "If you don't particularly like the color, we will make the hilt and the sword according to the color of the sword body. Guard your hands."

"No, you have to be more solid. I'm very strong, but don't spend 100 million and fall apart in one swing." Zoro returned.

"Don't worry, my shop's decades-old signboard is here, and I won't let you, a high school student, smash it." The boss looked confident: "It will take about a week. You can pick it up on Sunday next week. .”

"So long?" Wu Sheng asked in surprise.

"It's okay, you still need time for special training anyway, this time is just right." Sauron said to Wu Sheng.

Wu Sheng then realized that his training had not been completed yet: "Okay."

After collecting the receipts, several people made an appointment with the boss to pick up the goods and went out.

"Below are the spears of Nami and I." Wu Sheng said, looking at the list he made. "But buying a sword is a bit out of budget. Let's go to a nearby sports equipment store to look at training guns."

"OK, I can just buy whatever works. After all, I use magic after all." Nami said.

"Hmm, I'm half a magician, so I don't need to buy something too good. Let's go and take a look first."

30 minutes later, several people found a shop selling long guns, bows and swords for training.

As soon as you enter the door, various swords, guns, and bows are lined up, as well as a variety of headgear, armor, protective gear, and clothes.

Then the sharp-eyed Nami took two steps and saw a row of areas that looked like real swords.

Curiously, he pulled the others over.

Several people walked over and took a look. The area was called "Iai Training Swords". These knives had handles and sheaths. Wu Sheng picked up one and pulled it out with a swish. The bright silver blade shone brightly, and it was also a real sword. , very bluffing.

And the price...is basically between 5 yen and 10 yen.

Suddenly everyone remembered that Sauron said that 30 should be enough at the beginning...

"Is this the store we should enter while we are still in Novice Village?" Wu Sheng murmured to himself.

Then the three of them turned to stare at a certain green algae-headed swordsman with different expressions.

"Why, can these be called samurai swords? Look, it says here, stainless steel! High carbon steel! The boss just said that swords that are not made of jade steel cannot be called samurai swords!"

But judging from the angry looks in Wu Sheng and Nami's eyes, this green algae head who is still arrogating may not survive past 12 o'clock.
