Pirate: I only come here for three things!

"Aqiu!"

Duanmu sneezed.

"Did you catch a cold on the boat?"

The person walking in front to guide Duanmu was the unknown Wano swordsman Uzumaki Shirayoha who had made an appointment with Duanmu before boarding the ship. Now he's doing a little world government work during the conference. Although I don’t know why Friedrich locked most of the people on the ship, people must have some needs for food, drink or the tertiary industry.

You’ve come here, you can’t let people come in vain, right? It is our duty to revitalize Wano's tertiary industry.

I don’t know if the shameless guy who said this to Friedrich was in a good mood at the time, but in short, the results showed that some restrictions were indeed relaxed. Although people still can't go down, the things on the land of Wano can be brought up after giving some money.

"...Maybe my brother or my girlfriend is talking about me." Duanmu rubbed his nose.

"The sword-smithing family in Wano is the Shuoyuki family, right? But in my memory, the Shuoyue family has produced a lot of samurai, and even controls the daimyo positions in both places in Wano."

The highest achiever in Wano country's sword forging, so far there is no doubt, is Kozaburo Shigetsuki. In Oda's writing, he finally left the country of Wano and had a deep intersection with Zoro of the protagonist group.

Before the decisive battle with Kaido, Kozuki Sukiyaki bluntly said that he had chosen to sneak out of the country fifty years ago.

Plus the Frost Moon Ryoma, Frost Moon Ieyasu, Frost Moon Ox and Horse...

There are too many celebrities in the Shigetsuki family of Wano Country.

"The Shuoyuki family was indeed a sword-smithing family at the beginning. Among the five original families who inherited and transformed the sword-forging skills from the Kozuki family, the Shuoyue family was among them. But after Shimozuki Kozaburo left, the current Shuoyue family All that's left are mediocre people who maintain the samurai's swords."

"...Why do you want to leave Shuangyue's home where the sun is rising?" Duanmu was puzzled.

"Who knows." Uzumaki Baiye knew who Duanmu was talking about. "Perhaps it's because of differences of opinion?"

"It's too far away. So far, the only existing swordsmithing families are the Ugetsu clan and the Tenmu clan. It is said that the Maple Leaf family still survives overseas, but they have left the land of Wano after all."

"Then are you going to take me to find people from the Yuyue clan or the Tianmu clan?" Duanmu looked at the street that was now stained with half the sky red. "It's getting late now."

Who did it harm other than you!

"None of them." Uzumaki Baiye shook his head. "The entire Ugetsu family is now in the Uzuki Bowl where Ugetsu Tempura is, but the Tenmu clan is only loyal to the Shogun and has been in the Flower Capital since ancient times."

Um, then what do you want to do for a long time, just to relieve my boredom?

Duanmu was speechless.

Escort service?

"But although I can't find anyone from these two clans, I can recommend another way for you. I wonder if you know about the ghost clan?"

Ghosts?

This is a race that has never even appeared in the human trafficking of the Holy Land. Compared with the world-famous giants and fish-men, their sense of existence is almost zero.

Even after Kaido ascended to the throne of the Four Emperors, everyone mostly called him the strongest creature.

"Of course, Kaido is a ghost after all."

"In fact, the ghost tribe only exists in Wano Country, at least in the beginning. But with the dispute between Red Horn and Blue Horn, there are only a few red horn ghost tribe left in the entire Wano Country."

What the hell?

Looking at Duanmu's confused look, Uzumaki Shiraye gave some explanations.

"There has always been a nursery rhyme in Wano, which tells the story of the ghost clan."

[A long, long time ago somewhere, there was a red ghost and a green ghost. They are very good friends. Red Ghost wants to be friends with people, but people are afraid of ghosts. I don’t want to be close to ghosts. 】

[Then Ao Oni gave Chi Oni advice. The light ghost made a mess, but only the red ghost defeated him. 】

【Then people will accept red ghosts. 】

[According to this method, the red ghost defeated the green ghost, and the red ghost's bravery and kindness became known. People finally accepted the red ghost. But Aoki disappeared from then on. 】

"...that does sound like a fun nursery rhyme."

"But this is a nursery rhyme adapted from a true story of Wano Country." Uzumaki Shiroye led the way deeper and deeper, and the surroundings were completely plunged into darkness, with only a little starlight in the sky shining.

"In Wano Country, some ghosts expelled other ghosts and gained the right to live in harmony with humans. The ones who were exiled were the Ao Oni, and the ones who stayed were the Red Oni."

"But whether it's a red oni or a blue oni, they're all still from the oni clan, right?"

"Mr. Duanmu, you who live in the Holy Land, do you agree that people in those poor countries should enjoy the same rights as you? Even the most powerful humans discriminate against each other, how can the ghost tribe be an exception? Now It is generally believed in Wano that Kaido is an exiled Aouki clan."

"As for the truth, it doesn't actually matter. To be honest, there are not many people alive now, whether they are red ghosts or green ghosts."

"And the shop I'm going to take you to now is owned by a dead remnant of a red ghost. His craftsmanship is not inferior to that of the five."

He took Duanmu around the final corner. A small blacksmith shop appeared in front of me.

A strong man with two horns on his head and bare upper body was swinging his hammer.

"But his horns are not red."

"Whether you are a person from the East China Sea or a person from the West China Sea, aren't they all human beings?" He responded to Duanmu's inquiry. "Is it because the people of the East China Sea have lighter skin than the people of the West China Sea that they are different species?"

Duanmu was speechless.

"Isn't this Uzumaki Shirayo? Welcome."

At this time, the strong man who was blacksmithing saw the arrival of the two men.

Of course, they knew each other.

This shows that this person is indeed a local and has cultivated some connections here.

Even in casual conversations, Duanmu was collecting as much information as possible.

"I would like to formally introduce to you that this is Yin Dou. He has learned the sword forging technique of one of the five forging swords. Yin Dou, this is Steel Bone Duanmu, a senior official of the World Government from overseas."

"Didn't it mean that there are only two families left in Wano after Shigetsuki Kozaburo came out?"

"Ah, I had an accidental encounter, right? I met a snow girl in the mountains."

Yin Dou put down the hammer in his hand.

"Then I was lucky enough to acquire this lost sword-forging technique. My life has been much better since then."

He sighed and wiped his hands with a rag beside him. "It is said that the five families of Wano Country long ago each had their own strengths. As long as each family communicated with each other, they could improve their skills."

"For example, the school I master now is the Xifeng family's [Isshin-ryu]."

"From the beginning of sword forging, we have pursued the integration of swords without distinguishing each other. Only in this way can the sword forged record and convey the mood and philosophy of the sword forger, and can it become a derivative of the swordsman. Unfortunately, it is not as good as it used to be."

He sighed. I just regret that I didn’t live in my prime.

"Yuki-onna...?"

He had heard relevant rumors on his way to the front line with Frost Moon Monkey Horse and Hong Kong Friends. But it was different from the son of the mountain god appearing in front of him and others as scheduled. Until the end of his journey, he had never seen the so-called snow girl appear at the end.

"Yes, Snow Girl." He seemed unwilling to talk more about this issue. Yin Dou changed the question and looked at Duanmu expectantly.

"Tell me, guest sir, what kind of good sword do you want?"

"...Well, actually I came here just to ask for a scabbard."

The store owner suddenly had a face on his arm.

"However, I want to see your finished product here." Duanmu turned around and said.
