The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

"Mr. Yippondo, we were the first to see this knife. Hongying, how much do you plan to sell it for? Just tell me a number and I'll send someone to deliver the money."

Tashigi is very nervous now. She is afraid that Ipponmatsu has a prejudice against the navy and will give the demon sword to the pirates. Why did Shinobu Kocho suddenly appear?

The female navy girl, Shinobu Kocho, thinks of Zoro. Tashigi will never let go this time. She is determined to get the demon sword Red Tassel. She will not give it to the pirates for the second time after the first time.

The Twenty-one Skills of the Great Sword are too attractive to swordsmen, unless they are top swordsmen who have no shortage of famous swords to use. Hawkeye Mihawk, Ichisho, and Whitebeard are all in this category.

"A weapons store is open for business, there is no first come first served principle. The sword should belong to whoever bids the highest. I am also interested in Hongying." Shinobu Kocho doesn't care about offending the navy. She wants to make a living as a pirate. Being too cautious will only lead to early death.

Ipponmatsu looked at his shop and saw that the tension between the navy and the pirates was becoming increasingly intense. If a fight really broke out, all the store's hard-earned assets might be lost.

Yibenmei walked to her man and reminded him in a low voice: "Don't be stupid, quickly estimate a price. I didn't even know there was a good knife hidden until now. Go back to bed and explain it to me tonight."

The tigress next to him was very unhappy. Yibensong felt a chill on his back. After dealing with things during the day, he had to deal with his own hurdle at night.

Yibensong, who remained calm and tough, glared at his woman and told Yibenmei not to make trouble now. Men should build big businesses and women should stand aside. He wanted to fulfill his promise to Shedaolang.

"A famous sword of the Daiyewu level is in short supply. I'm offering a price of 1 billion Baileys for the Demon Sword Hongying. Do you think it's not too much?"

One billion Baileys? The expressions on the faces of the customers in the store were all wonderful, and they were amazed at the boss's boldness in asking such a high price.

One billion berries can buy one or two devil fruits at an underground auction. Although famous swords are very valuable and collectible, most swordsmen are poor and have poorer pockets than their faces.

It is difficult to pay out 100 million Baileys, let alone 1 billion Baileys. Although the value of Baileys has been unstable due to inflation in recent years, the scale of hundreds of millions is enough for ordinary people to live a carefree life.

Tashigi's mouth opened in shock at the asking price. Even if she was a wealthy woman with a small fortune, she couldn't come up with a sum of 10 billion berries. She didn't have the financial resources, and the navy's salary was not enough for her to spend.

Shinobu Kocho squinted her eyes. The Butterfly Pirates could not afford the 1 billion berries. Even if they were sold to the navy, the three sisters were not worth the price. Perhaps they could get more by selling themselves to the underworld.

Even Yipimatsu's wife thought that her husband was a little sick and offered a price of 10 billion Baileys simply because she didn't want to sell it. It was definitely a case of the store bullying the customers!

If this deal is concluded today, it will definitely cause a sensation in the Sabaody Archipelago. A billion berries deal, with such a huge single transaction amount, the underground auction house has not had any news for a long time.

The customers in the store were more intelligent and thought there must be something fishy going on. Could it be that the weapon store owner, the navy, and the pirates were acting together, waiting for a rich enemy to come and set up a trap to make a fortune?

If Yibensong says Hongying is a great sword, does it really mean it is a great sword? Does anyone endorse the old shop owner? Without authority, there is a high probability that someone will set up a scam, and there is always a shortage of new scammers in the archipelago.

"Since you can't afford 1 billion Baileys, then you can only take the second path. I can give this red tassel from my collection to one of you, but you need to do me a favor."

Ippomatsu's expression was serious and his words were shocking. The customers in the store stared at the old face of the weapon shop owner with disbelief, trying to find evidence that the boss drank fake wine. Is it okay to give away a famous sword for free?

Yibenmei suddenly felt a black screen in front of her eyes. Her husband's condition had worsened again. He really treated her like a knife seller on credit! The weapon shop was open for business, not charity.

"Boss, are you really kidding?"

"Are you really Xie Daolang?"

"I can promise to do something for you, provided it is not harmful to others."

Tashigi, Shinobu Kocho, and Erza each had their own story to tell, and the shop owner kept them on suspense, saying that they must get the demon sword Red Tassel today, as the large sword is hard to come by.

Ippomatsu pretended to be deep and after a moment's silence, he stated his conditions: "Get my sword, work hard to become stronger and don't die too early. All you ask of me is to defeat the strongest swordsman in the legend. I don't ask for anything else."

Who is the strongest swordsman in the legend? Shedaolang has trained so many sword masters, but he has not yet defeated them. If he does not enter the ranks of great swordsmen, he will not even be qualified to stand in front of the strongest swordsman.

Thinking back to Shedaolang's years of casting a wide net, I wonder how much manpower and material resources were invested behind the scenes, and how several generations had put in the effort, but in the end, no one reaped the rewards.

Does Ipponmatsu have a better knife? Is there a knife of the highest level? Customers can imagine that Shedaolang has the foundation, maybe he can really come up with a supreme knife.

Tashigi knows that she has little influence and her talent with a sword is just so-so, so she is more optimistic about her boss and lets Erza compete with Shinobu Kocho, so that no one can get an advantage but the pirates.

Erza and Shinobu Kocho looked at each other and saw the unwillingness to back down in each other's eyes. How could they gain the approval of the weapon shop owner and stand out from the candidates to get the red tassel?

The best way is to have a fight. Whoever wins will get the magic sword Hongying. It will be fair enough to the two women, and the loser will be convinced. The smell of gunpowder in the store is getting stronger and stronger, and the navy and pirates are ready to take action at any time.

The boss has his own criteria for judging, "Stretch out your hands for me to see. Just look at the swordsman's hand that he uses the sword."

Erza and Shinobu Kocho did the same at the same time. Ipponmatsu looked at the delicate hands of the two beauties, touched their remaining hair and began to think. Who would get the Demon Sword Red Tassel in the end would all depend on the boss's words.

After a moment, Ippomatsu had the answer in his mind. He picked up the demon sword Hongying and handed it to the navy Erza, "It's yours, please don't let Hongying down."

Erza didn't understand why she won, and she was confused when she received the sword. Shinobu Kocho had a sneer on her pretty face. She needed an explanation. Does Ipponmatsu look down on pirates?

Ipponmatsu looked at Shinobu Kocho's more gentle face. Her curvy figure was more feminine than Erza's (she didn't look feminine when she was wearing the queen's armor). It was a pity that the female pirate had gone astray and was the kind that could not be saved.

"Shinobu Kocho, although this is the first time I meet you, judging from your hands, although you do use a sword frequently, in most cases you prefer to use other tricks to win, and use poison even more than the sword." Ippomatsu commented on Shinobu Kocho's shortcomings based on his experience.

If the youngest of the three beauties of Kocho came today, perhaps Ipponmatsu would have been a little more worried. Shinobu Kocho and Erza have different attitudes towards using swords and have taken two different paths.

Swordsmen who like to use tricks outside the board are destined to go nowhere. There is no need to invest in Shedaolang.
