Luefy: Gold Roger was executed here? Luefy: The place where the greatest pirate had been put to death. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Luefy: The place where the Pirate Era began. Zoro: That's so scary. Damn it. Zoro: She.. (Tashigi: Sorry) is very similar! Almost the same person, and she's also a swordsman. Zoro: There are many strange things in this world. Maybe, I will never meet her again. That's so scary. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Narrator: Weapon Shop Zoro: I want to buy some swords. Owner: Welcome. Narrator: Ipponmashi, Weapon Shop Owner. Ipponmashi: Welcome! Please feel free to choose whatever you want. An old sword or a new sword, we got everything because we've been in this business for more than 200 years. Zoro: I got 100,000 Beli, and I want 2 swords. Ipponmashi: 100,000 Beli? Ipponmashi: [sigh] 100,000 Beli to buy 2 swords? So, it's gonna be 50,000 Beli per sword. You can buy only regular sword. (He's just a poor one and un-professional.) Eh? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zoro: I don't care. Just give me whatever you got. I don't have any money. Ipponmashi: (His sword...) Ipponmashi: (I have to hide my feeling.) Umm.. Wait! Can I take a look at your sword? Zoro: What's wrong? Why are you shaking? Ipponmashi: (This is a real one!) Ipponmashi: (Calm down. This is a good opportunity. This kid has a good sword, so I'd better convince him to sell it to me.) Ipponmashi: This is just a regular sword. Zoro: What did you say? Ipponmashi: I'm just kidding. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipponmashi: I have a good deal for a poor person liked you. This sword isn't an ordinary sword, but it also isn't a famous sword. I will buy this sword for 200,000 Beli. So, you will have 300,000 Beli, and you can buy three of 100,000 Beli swords! Zoro: Huh? What did you say? Ipponmashi: Err.. How about 500,000 Beli? Ipponmashi: (That's closed. Just increasing a little bit more price.) I can give you 650,000 Beli! Zoro: Err.. I won't sell this sword to you no matter how much you will give me. Tashigi: Ah! This sword! Isn't this..? Ipponmashi: (Don't say it!) Zoro: (What is she doing here?) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tashigi: This is Wado Ichimonyi sword, right? Zoro: !? Wado..!? Tashigi: What a beautiful sword! Ipponmashi: It's just the name of this sword, but it's not a famous one. Tashigi: Not famous? Are you kidding? This is one of the 21 best swords in the world! See this? This sword is worth more than 10 million Beli! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipponmashi: You foul mouth! You've ruined my business! Tashigi: Eh? Ruined your business? Did I say something wrong? It's the first time that I see something this beautiful. So, I... Ipponmashi: You come to get back your Shigure sword, right? Here! I have finished cleaning it for you! Tashigi: Ah! a...err.. Ipponmashi: You just an un-professional swordsman, but you got a very good sword! Tashigi: Ah!! Ipponmashi: Why do you have to fall down there? Clean it up, and get out of my store! Ipponmashi: You are very lucky! Liked that girl said, this is a very good sword, but it belongs to the person who doesn't know its value. What a waste! Ipponmashi: 50,000 Beli swords are at that corner! Why don't you go ahead and choose 2 of them! Zoro: Why has he get mad? Tashigi: Ah! You are the person I met just a while ago. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tashigi: You must love swords, right? You have 3 swords just liked one of the pirate hunters. Zoro: Pirate hunters? Tashigi: Don't you know him? A man named Roronoah. Zoro: I often heard of him. Tashigi: He is in East Blue, but he's a bad person! He used his swords for money. I can't forgive him. Tashigi: Why have bad people become stronger in this day? All of the famous swordsmans have become pirates or hunters, and all the best swords belong to them! The swords are crying, you know? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zoro: Everyone has his own reason of living, right? As the time changed, the situation also change, too. Ipponmashi: I love to welcome those bad customers, you know? In the past, everyone who is going to Grand Line would stop at my store. But after that evil has come to this town, all of my customers are gone. I am in trouble, you know? Tashigi: Smoker-san is not an evil! Ipponmashi: The person who got the power from evil fruit is a evil! Zoro: Evil fruit!? Tashigi: No matter what happened, I will use Shigure sword to practice and get stronger! Then I will travel around the world and get those swords from bad people. Either they're best 12 swords or best 21 or best 50! I will risk all my life! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zoro: So, do you want to get this sword, too? This sword is Wado Ichimonyi, right? Tashigi: Eh? Err.. Don't misunderstand me. I don't want those swords at all. My point is that I don't want those swords to be in bad people's hands! Zoro: Ho! Tashigi: Ah! This sword. Based on the book,.. Tashigi: This is Sungdai Kitetsu! A real one! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tashigi: Mister! Are you sure that this sword worth only 50,000 Beli? Ipponmashi: Yes. Tashigi: That's impossible! This is one of the historical sword! The price must be around 1 million Beli! In the past, Nidai Kitetsu was the best sword followed by Shodai Kitetsu. Ipponmashi: I can't sell that sword to you. Tashigi: Why not? Zoro: A cursed sword, right? Ipponmashi: You knew? Zoro: No, but I can tell. Ipponmashi: As you might have known, Kitetsu swords from Shodai Kitetsu, all are the best swords, but they also are cursed! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ipponmashi: Every famous swordsman who used Kitetsu was ended up in the bad way! There is no one in this world who can used them! Even the person who doesn't know their story, when he used it, he ended up dead! Ipponmashi: I want to get rid of it, too because it seems that I got some cursed, too. Tashigi: I...I am so sorry! I didn't know that it was a cursed sword! That's why I recommended it to you. Ipponmashi: You don't know anything, but you act as an expert! Zoro: That's interesting! I want to buy this sword! Ipponmashi: Are you nut!? I told you that I can't sell it to you! If you died, then it would be my fault! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lady: Don't be stupid! Just sell that junk! Ipponmashi: Oop! It's you? Zoro: How about this? Let's try to see what is better between my luck and its cursed? Zoro: If I lose, my destiny will end here. Zoro: Here! Ipponmashi: What are you doing? Do you want to lose your arm!? That sword is very sharp! Tashigi: Ah..!!! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zoro: I'll take it! Zoro: Hey! Can you pick one more for me? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tashigi: err... Sure. Ipponmashi: Wait! Don't go anywhere! Ipponmashi: The maker of this sword is Kurourushita Chikoshirae, and its blade by Midare Bakojouyi. This sword's name is Yubashi, and it is very sharp. I guarantee it. Even though my store is not the best store, this is the best sword I got! Zoro: [laughing] But I can't buy it because I don't have money. Ipponmashi: Just take it. Don't worry about the money. Ipponmashi: Kitetsu sword is free, too. I am sorry that I was thinking about tricking you. I haven't seen the good swordsman for along time. The swords will choose its owner! I wish you luck! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Zoro: When I have 3 swords, I feel more secure. Lady: You usually stingy, but why you give those swords for free? Ipponmashi: A woman doesn't know anything. Ipponmashi: The real man want to give a dream to another real man! What's wrong with that? Lady: Then, just go and clean up the restroom. Ipponmashi: Yes. Tashigi: I am still shocked! I can't even stand. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Narrator: Logue Town Marine Based. Smoker: Tashigi hasn't come back, yet? Marine: She said that she will go to the weapon shop. Smoker: Has she realized how long she take to do that? I've received the report that pirates are in this town! Just go and get her back here! Marine: Yes, Major Smoker! Smoker: She is a shame of the Marine. Sanji: Wow! The big town is so different from the small one! Sanji: The most beautiful woman! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
