Chapter 39 The Supreme Sword
As the pirate forces dominated by the "Four Emperors" expelled most of the World government forces from New World, the division and competition within the pirates were also in full swing.
In addition to the shrinking territory of "Red Hair Pirates", other secondary players such as "Whitebeard", "BIG·MOM", "Hundred Beasts" and other secondary players are in fierce conflicts.
Wanokuni.
Kaido, which has been shackled in the island of ghosts for nearly 20 years, also began to expand outward a few years ago.
In recent years, it has been attacked more frequently.
Weaving Kasa Village.
Dylan wanders the fetid village in his uniform.
"Scientists are really imaginative."
Although Doflamingo lost the help of the little people, he still partnered with Guy Sa to produce "artificial Devil Fruit".
As for Wanokuni, Quinn was not blocked by Dylan, and naturally followed the development of history to open a large number of weapons factories here.
Dylan squatted by the river and checked. The metal content and many chemicals in the river water were seriously exceeded. The surrounding plants were either dead or turned a strange gray-green color.
"Ah~~ Where is this? Really, I drifted to such a strange place."
A young voice sounded from the other side of the river, and Dylan glanced around.
Wearing a cowboy hat and topless, Ace scratched his head as he walked along the river bank.
Seeing Dylan staring at him, Ace grinned: "There is someone, please ask..."
"This is Wanokuni, the realm of the 'Kaido of the Beasts'."
Ace frowned. Although he has only been in New World for less than a year, he has already heard about Kaido's reputation as "One Hundred Beasts".
"I am the spade..."
"No need to introduce, Ace, one of the purposes of my coming here is to meet you."
"what!!??"
Ace's eyes widened. He had no impression of the guy in front of him. He was so young... Wait!
Ace thought back to what his Grand Line-born companions had said when he was on the ship.
"In the Grand Line, whether it's 'Paradise' or 'New World', most pirates and marines are very Rear Admiral to kill each other. Generally, they mainly focus on defeating or imprisoning or even recruiting. However, there are two people who are definitely listed outside."
"'Akainu' Sakazuki, and 'Dark Dragon' Dylan. For pirates, there is almost no chance of surviving these two people as long as they see each other."
Ace looked at the man squatting on the ground not far in front, and compared it with the head portrait on the newspaper in his memory.
Oops! !
"Adrift here?"
Dylan took out two bottles of cider Sherry Man made for him from the ring, and threw one bottle to Ace.
Ace saw that he was not as scary as in the legend, so he took the opportunity to catch the wine bottle.
"Yes, I don't have a navigator yet, so I got lost when I encountered currents. By the way, Uncle Tom... is your subordinate now?"
"Well······"
Dylan took a sip of his drink and looked at Ace with tits on Madara's face.
"Why do you want to be a pirate?"
Ace froze for a moment, from Dylan's tone, he didn't feel any anger or killing intent, as if it was a very common thing.
Like: have you eaten today?
Ace was silent for a while. After he came to the Grand Line, he also heard a lot of legends about the old man Garp and the man in front of him.
"you know me?"
Dylan stood up and looked into the distance: "I know, in a sense, I know most of your experiences from the time you were born to the present. So I am very surprised, why do you want to become a pirate?"
Dylan turned around and looked at Ace: "Want to pursue the so-called 'freedom'? This is unlikely, you are not Roger. Or... are you trying to 'prove' something to the world for Roger?"
"You..." As soon as Ace's body tightened, he subconsciously prepared to fight.
The identity of "Son of Roger"...
But then he remembered what Tom said: "That man knew about your existence a long time ago, and he didn't have much malice towards you."
As the temperature of his body dropped, Ace held the bottle tightly and said after a moment of silence: "I want to know, is there any meaning to my existence?"
"What did old man Garp tell you?"
Ace was surprised, but still replied, "He said, I won't know until I've lived."
"So what do you think?"
"I don't know..." Ace shook his head: "Everyone is disgusting and cursing that guy, and cursing his blood, I am very angry, am I really guilty because of this? If so... ..."
Dylan glanced at him: "You just become a pirate, or even the king of the pirates? Then what? Destroy the world? Or announce something to the world?"
"I········"
Ace was stunned for a moment. He had never thought about this question. Maybe the reason for becoming a pirate was really just because people hated him so much and even wanted to torture him with various cruel methods.
If the world is so unkind to me, why should I be kind to them?
"Do you want to destroy the world?"
Dylan's face was calm. Ace subconsciously shook his head.
"I really hated this world when I was a teenager, but I don't think so anymore, I just want to sail freely. Gather your partners and find ONE PIECE."
"That's it... I see."
Dylan stood up and walked towards the village, Ace followed naturally without knowing why.
"Aren't you going to catch me?"
"I'm not the one who caught you."
"Ok?"
Dylan glanced at Ace, who was much shorter than him: "I am Marine, and not old man Garp. You have chosen your own destiny, and you have to face it yourself."
"certainly·······"
call! !
"Outlander!"
A large net fell from the sky, Dylan stood still, Ace watched the people sticking out their heads from all around, his heart moved, and a flame ignited the vine net that rushed towards the two.
"Yes...it's a sorcerer!!!"
The sallow and emaciated villagers were shocked when they saw the flames emanating from Ace's body.
This is the power of the officers of "Oni Island"!
Ace glanced at Dylan, if it was only him, he wouldn't have shot just now. But this man... Although I didn't feel very strong malice or killing intent in the conversation with him just now.
But all the legends about him prove that this man is definitely not a good man and a believer, in case they anger him...
"Hey!"
Dylan looked at the villagers who were about to turn and run away and called out to them.
The villagers froze and turned around in horror. Some of the guys who were already weak from hunger even passed out directly.
"them·······"
Ace couldn't bear it, these people looked like poor ordinary people, they shouldn't...
"Shut up!" Dylan gave Ace a blank look, this guy, what kind of devil does he think he is?
Dylan walked up to the villagers and looked at the poor people who were shaking with shock and fear.
So pirates are pirates, and they don't even understand the most basic sustainable development.
The world is still counting on pirates to save it?
It is simply nonsense.
After taking out a large amount of food from the ring and putting it on the ground, Dylan said to them: "The food is well preserved and should be enough for you to last for a while. And..."
Dylan took out a few more bags of seeds, these are the food seeds that he asked Leo to bring from Greenbit, which are very easy to grow.
"These seeds are very good to feed. I can't save everyone for the time being, but I can help some."
The people who were lying on the ground showed joy when they saw the food, one of the old men asked cautiously: "My lord, you are not from the island of ghosts..."
Dylan shook his head: "I'm not, I'm here to find someone, Tiangushan Feiche. Where is he?"
"Flying..." The old man looked at Dylan and Ace, then nodded to them as if he had made up his mind.
"Please follow me."
The back mountain of Bianli village.
Tengu Shan Feiche was wearing a mask and costume like a big tengu, and was weaving a bamboo hat next to the wooden house.
"Flycher..."
Tiangushan Feiche raised his head and looked at the crowd: "They are..."
After describing what happened by the river, the old man glanced at Dylan and Ace: "Who are you looking for Feiche..."
Ace was a little confused. In fact, he just came here with Dylan. He didn't know Tianmao Mountain and Tiangou Mountain at all.
Dylan untied Shura and handed it to the other party: "This knife, I showed the descendants of the Shimotsuki family before, but the guy was vague at the time, so I asked you to help me see it."
The moment Tiangushan Feiche saw Shura's scabbard, his eyes widened: "Sura!?"
"Oh? Is it some kind of famous sword?"
Seeing the other party's reaction, Ace was a little puzzled.
"Ok········"
Tiangou Shan Feiche held Shura in his hand and looked at it carefully, then held his breath and pulled out the blade.
Without Dylan's suppression, the moment the blade was exposed, it was filled with endless killing intent and blood.
Even Ace felt suffocated for a while.
"this·······"
ding~
Dylan raised his hand and flicked Shura's blade, and the scarlet-red blade instantly faded and turned into pitch black.
"Black Knife..."
Tiangushan Feiche looked at the man in front of him in disbelief, the person who turned Shura into a "black knife"... how terrifying...
"What? Is it wrong for Shura to become a black sword?"
After hesitating for a while, Tiangushan Feiche asked: "May I ask, Shura... Did you forge the black sword? Or is it in this state when you got it?"
Dylan nodded: "I captured this knife in a battle more than ten years ago. At that time, its blade was still dark red. I used it for several years before it turned black."
"I see!"
Tiangushan Feiche handed Shura back to Dylan after returning it to the sheath.
"Presumably the Shimotsuki family has told you that it is one of the twelve knives of the supreme sword?"
"Yeah." Koshiro did say it back then, but he seemed to have something to hide at the time, and Dylan didn't want to have anything to do with the Revolutionary Army at that time, so he left without staying too long.
"Sura, is also a very special existence in the Supreme Great Sword." Tiangushan Feiche said in a deep voice: "The First Generation Guiche, which was forged by my ancestors, is also among the Supreme Great Swords. Do you know what it is? The supreme sharp knife?"
Dylan shook his head. The only great swords he knew were Ye, First Generation Guiche, Cong Yunqie, Ace, and the one in his own hand - Shura.
Others, even if they are as strong as Qiu Shui, Yan Mo, and Tian Yu Yu Zhan, are just a sequence of big sharp swords.
"In addition to possessing the highest forging technology and almost peerless raw materials, the biggest criterion of the Supreme Sword is that they all represent a certain will, or - 'power'!"
"will?"
Hearing the word, Dylan frowned instinctively.
He didn't like the idea of fatalism.
Born under the red flag and growing up in the spring breeze, he believes that all fates are Gyūki snake gods.
Although it is currently known that some legendary will may be stored in the Phantom Beast fruit, Dylan is still a little annoyed once this kind of thing is attached to his head.
Laozi is not a happy boy chosen by so-and-so, so fuck it!
"That's right! But not everyone can fully comprehend and discover the will, and it's very difficult just to get the recognition of 'it'. To refine them into black knives, it needs many times or even dozens of times more than ordinary famous knives. Time and Emission accumulate!"
"As for what is the will in it? It's impossible to say, only the holder can comprehend it by himself. However, I believe that Your Excellency has been fully approved by Shura."
"Oh?"
Although the face is shrouded under the mask, one can still see awe from Tiangushan Feiche's expression:
"Sura... It is rumored that it was the saber of a great warrior who once led all ethnic groups to overthrow tyranny and eliminate evil."
