One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 11 Death Without Reason
"【Kazama Fish】?"

“Yes! This is the latest research result of the Vinsmoke Family. When it comes to war and firearms, the Vinsmoke Family of the North Sea is first-rate!”

The old man took Sakaski to a counter where a black and blue powder covered with glass was displayed, and next to it was a pointed cannonball without a fuse.

The price tag for the finished product was fifty thousand Baileys per piece, while the gunpowder was three thousand Baileys per piece.

Sakaski was amazed at the difference. In this sea where a cucumber costs 5 baileys, this price is not cheap.

If you think about it carefully, the job of being a tour guide for the brother and sister is really profitable, but the earnings are not much and the entry cost is quite high.

Seeing that Sakaski was so interested, the old man happily introduced:
“The production of this type of bomb is not high because the gunpowder is too explosive and the compatibility of the shell is very high. So although it is powerful, it can only be used as firecracker material for children at best.

If you want to buy it, I can give you a buy ten get one free offer, old man.”

"Don't think about it, just this, ten portions of gunpowder will be enough."

Sakaski was very satisfied. He thought little Mona would definitely like this kind of gunpowder. However, he didn't have much money, so he had to buy some gifts for other people, otherwise he could bring back an extra finished bomb.

As he said this, he took Bailey out from the pages of the book, counted out thirty thousand and handed them to the old man.

"Haha, today is such a lucky day. Wait a moment, I'll pack it for you. Remember to be careful, this kind of gunpowder is more flammable and explosive than ordinary gunpowder."

The old man ran into the inner room happily, and turned back to give Sakaski a reminder.

Sakaski wandered around the store aimlessly, looking at the various gunpowder and weapons there.

Although this is a gunpowder store, it still sells some firearms and swords.

Compared to gunpowder, these things are not cheap. Even the cheapest flintlock rifle costs 20,000! The value of ordinary swords is more than 30,000 Baileys!
He even saw a knife displayed on the wall. It was much sharper than ordinary swords and its workmanship was also excellent, but the price tag was really prohibitive.

【Fast Sword Fiesta
Price: 50 Baileys! 】

"This is an old friend who used to fight with me. But now I can hardly lift a sword anymore, so I just want to sell it and find a better owner for it."

When Sakaski was staring blankly, the old man came over with a paper bag in his hand:
"Here, eleven portions of standard equivalent gunpowder are all here. It's an extra layer of insurance for you. Welcome to come next time."

"Thank you."

Sakaski thanked him politely, took the package, and after thinking for a moment, he asked:
"Were you a pirate before?"

"No, I'm actually a retired marine, but the system at the time wasn't very good, so I gave up very early, and then worked as a bounty hunter for a while, and in my later years I used my savings to open this store."

The old man looked nostalgic, as if he really enjoyed those years of youth.

Just not a pirate.

Sakaski thought silently in his heart, but that's true, if it were a pirate, he wouldn't be so polite and wouldn't say so many things to him.

He will always have the most evil assumptions about pirates.

The old man seemed to see that Sakaski seemed to care about this kind of thing, so he didn't continue the conversation, and then said:
"I see that you are quite capable. You should have an adult teaching you at home, right? It's okay. You don't have to answer me. I just want to sell you my old friend."

"There are many weapons in this sea. Ordinary weapons can be divided into four types based on their quality: fast swords, good fast swords, great fast swords, and supreme great fast swords."

"They are rare, and many people will never see one in their lifetime. My old friend is a sharp knife, a good knife that can cut trees horizontally. If you think it's okay, you can ask the adults at home to buy it."

After saying this, the old man patted Sakaski on the shoulder, turned and walked towards the counter without saying any more.

Sakaski stopped for a moment, holding the gunpowder and walked towards the door. He planned to ask Master Ross if he could buy it. To be honest, this kind of thing that greatly improves strength is undoubtedly attractive to Sakaski at this time.

"Well, where's your sister?"

When he arrived at the door, Sakaski suddenly discovered that one of the two siblings was missing, and only Zorro was left waiting for him.

When Zoro saw Sakaski coming out, he straightened his attitude and said quickly:
"My sister is going to hand over part of the money. There are many small guides like us in the entire auction venue, so the daily turnover only needs to be met once!"

"By the way, I don't know how old you are. Can you tell me?"

"It's not inconvenient at all. My sister is one year younger than me, and I'm already thirteen this year!"

Sakaski was silent for a while. He looked at Zorro, who was only half his height, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

He is only thirteen years old this year, but...

An atmosphere of silence lingered between the two of them, and even Zoro didn't know what to say.

But soon, a shout came from afar, awakening the two silent people, and their eyes all turned towards the source of the sound:
"The Celestial Dragons are coming! The Celestial Dragons are coming!"

"What, Celestial Dragon!?"

"Quick! Everyone, come out and welcome the Celestial Dragons!"

"God bless, I hope nothing will happen this time!"

Many people ran out of the shops, and some guys who were good at hiding found a secluded place to hide.

The originally orderly streets began to become chaotic, but soon became orderly under some unknown oppression.

They came to the side of the street and knelt on their knees, with their heads lowered and not daring to look up, as if a terrifying general who was too terrifying to look at was about to approach them.

"Sorry, big brother, you should find a place to hide, or just like those people, I have to find my sister quickly!"

Zorro looked very anxious, as if he was afraid that something would happen.

People like them, once the Tianlongs come down and stay in "home", are most likely to be bought up in bulk as cheap goods, and their whereabouts are unknown.

Zoro was afraid that something might happen to his sister, so he took out the eight hundred Baileys that he had saved from his daily frugality from his pocket, put them on the ground, and hurried away.

Sakaski did not stop him because it was the first time he heard of the concept of Celestial Dragons and he was still a little confused about the situation.

But soon, looking at Zorro's departing back, he picked up the eight hundred Baileys and did not put them on the pages of the book, but wanted to find a place to hide as the other party had said.

until……

"Oh!"

A loud noise was heard, and Sakaski's eyes widened. He saw Zorro, who had just run onto the street and was about to run towards the block, suddenly flew up.

He didn't know where he was hit, and a loud bang made an eye-catching sound in the silent scene.

All of this happened because a bright red street stall appeared at the end of the street...
