Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

Zoro was tempted; he couldn't resist the idea of ​​the improvement method that Luo Feng had described, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Moreover, following someone like Luo Feng might prevent him from being overlooked.

"What?! You green-haired bastard, what kind of tone is that?!"

Seeing Zoro's calm demeanor, Bartolomeo walked up with a displeased look, pointed at him, and said in a tone of lecturing a junior, "It's your honor that your senior invited you to join the crew!"

"At this moment, you should be grateful and thankful that the elders took you in, you homeless brat, instead of acting so calmly. Come on, follow me and learn..."

Bartolomeo is getting more and more outrageous, even setting an example for Zoro.

This made Zoro furious, and finally he couldn't take it anymore. He rolled his eyes and yelled, "Get lost, you idiot bastard, what's it to you!"

The two women behind Luo Feng covered their mouths and laughed at this scene. He couldn't help but sigh, "Did I just hire a livener? Looks like the journey won't be boring from now on..."

"Barto, go home and pack your things, then say goodbye to your family. You don't know how many years it will be before you come back."

"After you've packed up, just head straight to the port where the supplies are stored."

"Yes, senior!" Upon hearing Luo Feng's order, Bartolomeo didn't dare to delay. He completely ignored Zoro, who was still arguing with him, and ran off in a flash...

Now that the supplies have been purchased and two new crew members have been unexpectedly recruited, it's time to prepare to leave. The people Luo Feng really wanted to recruit on this voyage aren't here, so there's no need to stay any longer.

"Captain, now that we're setting sail, I'd like to find a weapons shop and buy a couple of knives. I'm not quite comfortable using one of them..."

After Bartolomeo left, Zoro took off his headscarf and went up to Luo Feng to speak.

During his battle with Bartolomeo, both of his ordinary swords were broken, while only his Great Grade Sword, Wado Ichimonji, was unharmed.

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng was slightly taken aback. Had the storyline of buying the knife in Loguetown been brought forward so much because of his appearance? Could it be the same as originally planned...?

He didn't say much, just nodded and told Zoro to go.

It was only because Zoro brought it up that Luo Feng was willing to do so; otherwise, he was planning to wait until Zoro's strength improved before personally finding him two real famous swords!

Then, Luo Feng, along with Vivi and Robin, continued to wander aimlessly around Loguetown, waiting for the two to return so they could set sail.

"Captain, this is not like you."

Robin quietly walked to Luo Feng's side and asked with some curiosity, "Judging from the battle just now, those two green-haired monsters didn't seem to be as strong as Baroque's current senior officers."

"The captain didn't even include those high-ranking officers in the core team, so why was he willing to take them in?"

Hearing Robin's words, Vivi nodded in agreement, indicating that she didn't understand.

A green-haired monster?

Luo Feng chuckled; Robin really did enjoy giving people nicknames.

"Barto possesses the Barrier-Barrier Fruit. You don't understand the power of this fruit's ability. If used properly, it can be very useful."

"You know, in terms of defensive capabilities alone, this fruit can be considered invincible!"

Invincible... is that so...?

Robin nodded as if he understood, but didn't really feel anything.

Looking at Robin's appearance, Luo Feng was speechless. It was true, both of them were abilities that required crossing their arms to use, but Robin's Flower Flower Fruit was a natural counter to Bartolomeo...

No wonder she was indifferent; this is definitely a hierarchical food chain relationship!

"As for Zoro... I can't explain it to you right now, but I believe you'll understand soon enough."

"His potential is beyond compare!"

"Given their individual potential and abilities, it's no exaggeration to say that they could join the core team."

What Luo Feng said was true. In his words, these two were simply being left to their own devices before, but once they entered the system's training, their strength would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.

Baroque's senior officers? Don't be fooled by their long period of weight training and the significant improvement in their strength. They'll be completely surpassed by Zoro and Bartolomeo before long.

For people who are not on the same level, the lower limit is not important; the upper limit determines the future!

The three of them wandered through several streets in Rogge Town. The two women ransacked the clothing stores again, while Luo Feng kept moving between various food stalls.

As a model young person from the 21st century, I deeply understand one principle: only girls and delicious food are worth cherishing!

This made Luo Feng wonder if he should also have a cook on his future ship.

"It would be best if it were a girl. A beautiful woman cooking delicious food would make life on the ship much more colorful and pleasing to the eye..."

"Okay, it's decided then!"

Chapter 52 Zoro chooses his sword, acquiring the Sandai Kitetsu.

Luo Feng ate his food while muttering to himself.

He just hasn't decided on a candidate yet; there's no rush, it's just a sudden idea.

Finding it is great, but not finding it is fine too. It doesn't matter; it's just icing on the cake. We don't expect a chef to be that great anyway.

After all, with Zoro and Bartolomeo joining the team, we have enough combatants for now...

Before they knew it, the three of them had wandered to the entrance of a weapon shop. Looking at this familiar scene, Luo Feng couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Then he took a few more steps forward, and sure enough!

It's the exact same shop where Zoro bought his sword in One Piece, and Zoro is inside right now, holding a sword and weighing it in his hand.

"Is this fate? Even though the timeline is so far ahead, we still ended up here, and we're still holding that same knife."

Looking at the sword in Zoro's hand, Luo Feng muttered to himself.

It is the demon sword—Sandai Kitetsu!

Because they were short of money, they could only choose the cheapest batch of swords, averaging only 50,000 Berries each, and Zoro noticed the Sandai Kitetsu.

Everything was the same as before, except that Tashigi wasn't there to act as his 'guide', and Nami didn't have the 100,000 Berries she had lent him to buy a sword.

It just so happens that Zoro had just completed a few bounty missions and hadn't had time to spend the money yet. At this moment, he had about 100,000 Berries on him.

Apart from these minor differences, everything else is basically the same.

Hearing the conversation inside, Weiwei was taken aback, and then said to Luo Feng, "He didn't have any money, Mr. Luo Feng, would you like to help him?"

"Since we're partners now, let's buy him two of the best knives here."

As a princess of a country, Vivi naturally had no shortage of money. Moreover, she had met him under these circumstances and they had become partners, so she naturally wanted to lend a hand.

"No need. The knife he has is the best one in the shop."

Luo Feng shook his head. The Sandai Kitetsu had become the cheapest sword simply because it was a demon sword. No one dared to wield it, or rather, not many people were worthy of wielding it.

But that doesn't mean it's not strong; Zoro used this sword all the way to Wano Country.

Moreover, Luo Feng now understands that although the timeline has been moved forward, the events that are about to happen should not deviate from the expected course.

as predicted!

Although he didn't know the true weight of the Onikiri, Zoro clearly sensed the aura of the cursed sword.

After a long period of hesitation, the shop owner, who had originally intended to rip him off, finally had a change of heart, revealed the true origin of the sword, and said he would not sell it to him.

Because of these words, he was beaten up by the landlady...

But Zoro didn't care; he had already set his sights on the sword. He then laughed and said, "How about this? Let's see which is stronger, my luck or its curse!"

After saying that, he threw the Sandai Kitetsu into the air, then stretched out his arm and let the cursed sword fall freely. Zoro closed his eyes.

"Stop! That demonic sword is very sharp; it will cut off your arm!" The shop owner's eyes widened in terror.

Robin and Vivi, who were standing at the door, couldn't help but gasp.

The only one who remained calm was Luo Feng, who smiled as he watched the scene unfold. This was one of the most memorable scenes, and the live version was indeed more interesting.

As expected, when it touched Zoro's arm, Kitetsu rolled to the back of the blade, fell around his arm, and then plunged deep into the ground!

The sword acknowledged Zoro and felt he was worthy to be its master.

Robin was a little surprised. She finally understood why Luo Feng treated a young swordsman differently.

This kind of spirit and awareness alone surpasses the vast majority of people; ninety percent of swordsmen probably cannot reach this level!

At the same time, Robin looked at Luo Feng and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this captain has demonstrated his terror in every aspect.

What happened next was even more predictable. The weapon shop owner was impressed by Zoro's spirit and gave him his prized possessions, the Ryokai Yukizuri and the Sandai Kitetsu, without charging him a single penny.

Meanwhile, in the town of Rogge, off the coast outside the port.

A small boat appeared at the very spot where Luo Feng had wiped out the Krieg Pirates.

A girl with orange hair was standing on the boat, covering her forehead, looking disheartened and resentful. She sighed and said disappointedly, "Ah~ Damn it, we can't find any treasure at all?"

Nami, the cat thief, is also near Loguetown.

She had only been there a short time, and like Zoro, she happened to witness the Krieg Pirates being wiped out.

However, Nami was too far away at the time to see the terrifying scene.

By the time she got nearby, the devastating explosion had long since subsided, leaving only the aftershocks of the tsunami, which left her feeling dizzy and disoriented.

Then, she landed in Loguetown and heard people around her talking about how the Krieg Pirates had been wiped out by an unknown powerful figure.

This surprised her greatly. As a 'master thief' who roamed the seas every day, she had naturally heard of the Krieg Pirates.

In her mind, a pirate crew of that caliber was probably no less powerful than the fish-men who enslaved her village.

As a money-grubber, she immediately thought that a pirate crew of this caliber must be incredibly wealthy!

So they returned to the sea and searched tirelessly within the area where the Krieg Pirates had sunk.

Despite her best efforts and the use of every method imaginable, Nami searched for a long time, even diving into the sea herself multiple times, but still couldn't find anything related to the treasure.

Even the fragments of the ship are few and far between; there are hardly any left to see!

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. When a meteorite hits, the terrifyingly high temperature it brings is enough to melt all kinds of gold and silver treasures, not to mention the fragments of ships.

They must have all turned to ashes long ago!

"It's so frustrating! How could such treasure be wasted like this!" Nami grumbled a few times, but still didn't leave.

The next moment, her expression changed, and her eyes lit up.

"It's said that those people came from the Grand Line, and they were able to wipe out a pirate crew like Krieg so easily!"

"Does this mean that this group possesses more treasure than Klee and his men?"

Nami's eyes turned into money symbols, and she became more and more excited as she thought about it.
