One piece: Dark Smoker

Rogge Town, the outpost where the East Sea enters the Grand Route.

Because of the special geographical location.

Navy, pirates, bounty hunters, businessmen, tourists...

People of all kinds gather here.

The constant flow of people and the dazzling array of goods turned the entire Rogge Town into a huge shopping mall.

Various shops, markets, and transportation companies line up in rows.

Bars, hotels, happy streets, etc. also emerged.

It not only brought endless wealth but also caused countless chaos.

After leaving the pier, Smoker walked leisurely on the street wearing a black jacket with a pendant hanging on his chest.

Smoker had been to Rogge Town before and was very impressed by the prosperity here.

But this time it feels extra different.

There were so many people that the originally spacious streets seemed crowded.

There are not only townspeople, merchants, and marines on the streets, but also some characters that are rarely seen in ordinary times.

A nobleman dressed in luxurious clothes and surrounded by people.

A powerful pirate with an impressive aura and full of blood.

A high-level navy far exceeds the East Sea level.

World government personnel in suits and ties.

There are also some people who look ordinary, but Smoker is keenly aware that these people are definitely not ordinary...

[The world government, nobles, navy, pirates, as well as the hidden revolutionary army and dark forces...]

It is truly the eye of the typhoon in the great pirate era. Just standing here makes my blood boil! ! ]

At this time, a voice interrupted Smoker's thoughts.

"Sir, do you need weapons? If necessary, welcome to the store!"

"Although our store is not big, it is a century-old brand. All kinds of weapons are of high quality and low price. You will definitely be satisfied!"

Smoker looked around and saw that he had walked to the door of a weapons store.

A thin young boss with a rosy nose and a philistine face is soliciting business at the door.

The tall and fat proprietress is entertaining customers in the store.

The pairing of the two looks quite happy.

Smoker recognised the other party's identity at a glance and couldn't help shouting.

"Ipponmatsu?!"

This young man is the same pine tree that was given to Zoro's third generation, Kitetsu and Yukikaru.

"Huh? I know this guest; that's great!"

"Would you like to come in and take a look? I can give you a discount!!"

Smoker looked at the weapon shop curiously. It was much shabby and smaller than in the anime.

It seems that Ipponmatsu has indeed been cheated in these years... No, it is managed well.

Zoro's sword test is a famous scene in One Piece.

Now that I'm here, how can I not check in...

Smoker nodded and walked into the store.

Although the store is small, it has a complete range of items.

Guns, swords, armour, bolas, and maces are all available, and there is also a ten-handed weapon in the corner...

Smoker picked it up and tried it, and found it surprisingly easy.

However, he ignored Ippon's nagging sales pitch and put it back on the shelf.

Smoker had no interest in the Ten Hands.

In the world of pirates, the weapons of the strong are simple.

It can be a knife, a fist, a mace, or even a slipper...

No matter how you look at any serious person who uses ten hands, they exude a strong aura of weakness.

Smoker saw a barrel full of knives behind the door. His eyes lit up and he started rummaging expectantly.

But after searching all over, I couldn't find the third generation Kitetsu.

Is it possible that the Third Generation Ghost is not here yet? ! ]

It will be more than ten years before Zoro tries his sword, so it's normal if he doesn't do it now. ]

Smoker had no interest in swordsmanship; he just wanted to pick up the slack.

After all, you only need 50,000 Baileys to buy it, and you can sell it for millions.

Ready-made wool is neither white nor loose.

It's a pity that it came to nothing...

Smoker smacked his lips in regret and continued to walk around the store.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the store.

Ipponmatsu ignored Smoker and hurried out to see what happened.

Then there was a loud noise, and Ipponmatsu flew in from outside the door, hitting the landlady right in the air.

Fortunately, the lady had a thick figure and caught him steadily.

However, the two of them were just ordinary businessmen, and they were looking at the door in horror.

The next second, two pirates rushed in angrily.

One of them had a knife in his hand; it was the Third Generation Ghost.

"You damn profiteer, what kind of broken knife are you selling?! My captain used this knife to fight. Not only did he fail to defeat the enemy, but he also hurt himself! If you don't give me an explanation today, I will demolish your broken shop!"

Ipponmatsu trembled and said, "Two guests... no, two gentlemen, you are unjust. This sword belongs to the third generation of Kitetsu; it is a genuine, famous sword."

The pirate raised his foot and kicked the shelves into pieces.

"You mean my captain is not good at swordsmanship and he hurt himself?!"

Another pirate also slowly drew his knife from behind.

"Our captain is the famous Black Wolf, a great swordsman with a bounty of 2.6 million Baileys!!"

"How dare you insult his swordsmanship! You can only repay this shame with your life!"

After saying that, he approached Ipponson and his wife step by step.

With such a commotion, all the customers in the store had already fled.

Only Mr. and Mrs. Ipponmatsu and Smoker were left.

Suddenly, Smoker stood up from behind the shelves.

"I really can't stand it. A trash pirate who can't even control a sword dares to call himself a great swordsman."

Smoker didn't want to meddle.

In the original plot, Ipponmatsu and his wife were safe and sound, which meant he didn't need to take action this time.

But he didn't know if his appearance would trigger any butterfly effect, so he took the initiative to stand up.

"Who?!"

"You are looking for death!!"

The two pirates glared at Smoker, as if they were choosing to devour anyone.

"I'm weak, so I blame the knife. That little gangster named Black Wolf is only worthy of fighting with a branch."

When the pirate holding the Third Generation Ghost heard the provocation, he roared and rushed forward, wanting to hack Smoker to death.

Smoker dodged slightly to avoid his attack and at the same time continued, "However, you are right about one thing..."

Smoker said as he punched the opponent in the stomach.

The huge force made the pirate instantly fly into the air, his whole body bent into a shrimp, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.

Smoker snatched away the third-generation Kitetsu, then broke his neck and threw him aside like garbage.

Seeing Smoker's strength, the other pirate was immediately shaken, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.

I want to run away, but my legs are like lead, and I can't move...

Smoker looked up and down with the three-generation ghost and continued, "This sword is indeed weird. After all, it is a demon sword."

At this time, he saw the shocked and admiring eyes of Ippon Matsu and his wife, and he suddenly had the urge to show off.

"Famous swords are conscious, and only those who are recognised by the sword can truly control them."

"If you want to get the third generation of Ghost, you must have the belief that you will die and a strong heart... Just watch it!"

With that, Smoker threw the third-generation Kitetsu into the air and then stretched out his arms like Zoro.

"The curse of this knife and my fate, in the end..."

With a pop, Smoker felt a sharp pain in his arm, and the third generation of ghosts stabbed directly into his arm.

Smoker: "..."

Mr. and Mrs. Ipponmatsu: "..."

Pirate: "..."

Smoker pulled out the knife with a dark face and roared, "Damn pirate, it's really you who did it!"

"Hey?! What are you talking about? Ah...!!!"

With a scream, the remaining pirates twitched and fell to the ground.

Soon, the stationed navy took the two away.

By the way, a team of men was sent to look for the great swordsman named Black Wolf.

As for Smoker, he had already left with the third generation of Ghost...

Facing his saviour, who was also a ruthless man who did not hesitate to give him a knife, he refused to accept any money.

Smoker tried to persuade him but finally received 50,000 Baileys.

According to the original plot, the three-generation ghost story was too weird and could not be sold. In the end, it had to be treated as a bargain, with the price being 50,000 Baileys.

In this way, he is not taking advantage of others.

When he walked to a deserted place, Smoker's right hand turned into darkness and absorbed the third generation of Kitetsu.

After successfully catching the leak, Smoker was in a good mood and walked much more briskly.

[What should I do with this knife? !]

I don't know if I will meet Taschi in the future. I can leave it to her... No, the girl with glasses may not be able to control the third generation of ghosts, and she has her own sword. ]

And if I take away the Third Generation Ghost, what will Zoro do? Forget it, you can't become stronger without the sword, which only means that he is nothing more than that...

Forget it, keep it for now, or sell it later! ]
