One Piece: One Hundred Ghosts at Night

"Kai Feng"

It is the last step in the process of forging a sword. After the sword is forged, the sword takes shape, but it does not mean that it is completed.

Although the sword at this time had the shape of a sword, it was not yet a finished product.

Because the sword at this time is far from sharp enough, or it can be sharper, even for Hong Ji, who is known as a fierce sword, so the next step is to sharpen the edge of the sword.

This step is an indispensable step, just like brushing away the dust that covers a rare treasure, only in this way can it shine with its due glory.

And all Nuliang has to do is to strike for Hong Ji with his own hands, so that Hong Ji can truly show the edge of its supreme sharp sword.

However, although the matter of opening an edge is simple, it is not an easy task to open an edge for a sword, especially a fierce sword with the quality of a supreme sharp knife.

Especially the one who started the fight for Hong Ji was Nuliang Liban, a novice with no casting experience at all.

Generally, it only takes one or even several grinding procedures to sharpen a sword. However, according to the old man's requirements, in order to perfectly reveal Hong Ji's edge, the grinding procedures required by Hong Ji are even more cumbersome. According to the old man's idea, the only way to make Hongji go through dozens of grinding procedures is to make it worse for Nura Liban.

Outside the forge, the old man looked nervous and tired. Sitting on the stool, he could not sit still. He seemed to be ten years old. It turned out that although the old man was already sixty or seventy years old, perhaps it was because of Due to the long-term casting process, the old man who is full of muscles and strong body seems to be a generation older than the old man of Nuliang's own family who is similar in age.

But now, although he is still strong, his face is far different from the original rosy face. At the feet of the old man, there are many drunk bottles, as if only alcohol can relieve the tension and tension in his heart. Worry.

Although he drank a lot of wine, the old man did not feel sleepy at all. Perhaps he was relying on his own spirit to restrain his physical fatigue, because he wanted to know the result of his brainchild Hong Ji as soon as possible.

"What a mess. I'm going to attack Hong Ji after only studying for a day."

"I'm so stupid that I would agree to that kid's request."

As the old man thought about it, he couldn't help but regret his actions three days ago. According to the old man's idea, it would take at least a year for Kaifeng to let Nuliang Li learn knives with him before he was qualified to entrust Hong Ji to his side. Let Nuliang fight for him.

This was the time when the old man expected Nuliang to be very talented, but there was no doubt that Nuliang directly rejected him.

"You bastard, it was like this two years ago, and it's still like this now. Have you considered the elderly's ideas?"

The old man was angry thinking about how Nuliang boy solemnly explained to himself in front of him three days ago that he had no time to study for another year.

"Old man, due to some reasons, I absolutely cannot study with you for another year, so I'm sorry."

Of course, the old man disagreed with Nuliang's statement. Why couldn't he learn Kaifeng for one year for some reasons?

You know, after Hong Ji is cast, it will be his sword, and it will be at the level of a supreme sword. This is the most powerful sword that countless swordsmen in the sea dream of, but cannot ask for.

Countless powerful swordsmen have spent countless efforts and efforts to obtain a powerful knife.

But in front of this kid, it is easy to possess a famous sword Shigure, which is one of the twelve skills of the supreme sharp sword. Even though it is not ranked among the twelve skills of the supreme sharp sword, it is about to have high quality. But she is also the demon swordsman Hong Ji who has reached the supreme sharp sword.

If the swordsmen on the sea knew about this, I am afraid that their first reaction would be envy and jealousy towards Nuliang, but then Nuliang Liban might face the prying eyes of those swordsmen.

Sometimes even the old man couldn't help but marvel at this kid's luck.

However, this is definitely not the reason why this kid can reject him. His hard work, his dreams and sustenance are not rejected because of some kid's reasons, the old man thought.

But this time it was also strikingly similar to two years ago. Nuliang and the old man also refused to give in to each other, but they also compromised with each other in the end.

The old man can not let Nuliang learn the knife sharpening skills from him for more than a year, but in the same way, Nuliang must learn the knife sharpening skills from the old man until it is enough to satisfy himself.

That is to say, Nu Liang must show enough skills to attack Hong Ji, otherwise, even if he tries his best, he will still be able to prevent Nu Liang from going to sea.

Originally this was a trap of the old man. After all, as a swordsmith, I know very well that even if you are a powerful guy, it is not easy to reach the level of fighting for Hong Ji from scratch. .

But in the end, Nuliang Liban, that kid told the old man with the facts, there is a kind of person in this world, which is far beyond people's imagination, and that is a "monster".

This was the old man's idea one day after he taught Nu Liang how to open the front.

One day, just one day, Nuliang Liban perfectly copied his own skills. Although there were still many immature aspects, there was no doubt that it was his own skills.

"Hey, old man, I should be considered qualified like this."

Nuliang held an ordinary knife that had just been sharpened in his hand. Although it was an ordinary knife, the blade shone with a cold light, showing the outstanding skills of the person who sharpened the knife. He looked at the surprised old man with a smile on his face. .

"You kid, are you a monster?"

"I'm not a monster, I'm a monster."

Looking at Nuliang Liban with a smile on his face, only one word echoed in the old man's heart, "I was fooled."

But in the end, although he realized that he had been fooled, the old man still had to fulfill his promise and let Nuliang Liban carry out the final step of forging Hong Ji, "opening the front".

It had been three days since Nu Liang had been in the forging room, and the old man had been waiting outside the forging room for three full days, without even a moment's rest.

In the forging room, like the old man outside, Nuliang Liban, who had not slept for three days and three nights, seemed to be in high spirits. Around Nuliang Liban, there were whetstones of various materials everywhere. Scattered around Nuliang.

At this time, Nuliang was not wearing the gym swordsman uniform and gray feather fabric that he had always worn. Instead, he was naked from the waist up. He was only wearing a pair of loose boxer briefs, and most of his body was exposed to the air. Although his slender figure has been trained, there is no muscle bulge in his body, and his skin is as fair as jade. He looks more like a pampered young master than a powerful swordsman.

At this time, Nuliang was holding Hongji in his hand. The edge of the blade on one side, the sharp blade, shone with a cold light. The scarlet blade pattern of the blade reflected on the smooth mirror-like blade, showing a blood-red color. The light flickered.

But if you look closely, you will find that the originally smooth and mirror-like blade on Hong Ji's blade is composed of countless tiny diamond shapes.

This is the old man's unique secret skill for sharpening the knife. The countless diamond-shaped blade patterns require the sharpener to grind them countless times to achieve the effect. The only effect of this is to make the blade sharper and tougher.

Although the effect is simple, the intensity of the increase is extremely amazing.

But because the effect was so amazing, even the old man couldn't do the Kai Feng skill. He just mentioned it casually when teaching Nu Liang, because in order to achieve this effect, it requires the patience and physical strength of the Kai Feng. The mental and technical requirements are extremely high. Imagine grinding the blade so that the entire blade is composed of tiny to invisible rhombuses. What an amazing project this is, and no failure is allowed in the middle. To be honest, even Nura Liban had not thought of using this technique at that time.

But when he started to do it, his mind suddenly got hot and he unconsciously started to use this technique that the old man highly praised. What's even more amazing is that Nuliang succeeded.

But it's just this time. If it happens again, Nuliang can't guarantee that he will succeed, even with the support of demon power.

The demonic power can restore Nuliang's physical strength and even spirit, which is one of the reasons why Nuliang was able to complete it. However, the demonic power was almost exhausted in three days.

But no matter what, Demon Sword Hong Ji is officially completed.
