The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

"This is Wano Country!!"

Luffy cheered and jumped for joy as he rushed into the forest, shouting, "Are the ninjas hiding in these mountains?!"

"I want to see a ninja!!!"

The echoing sounds reverberated through the forest, lingering on and on.

Kin'emon: "..."

I haven't finished speaking yet!

Jinbe: "..."

What a troublesome captain!

Aokiji: "~~~"

Oh my god, no wonder he's Mr. Garp's grandson, their personalities are exactly the same.

As for the others, they seemed completely unfazed.

After all, they knew their captain's character all too well.

"Let's go~"

Zoro, dressed in a loose, elegant light green robe and carrying a sword, walked past Kin'emon.

"..."

Kin'emon opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything, so he could only follow the others.

However, when he and Raizo were following behind Zoro...

His eyes also unconsciously drifted towards Zoro's waist.

"that is……"

Their pupils suddenly contracted.

"The national treasure of Wano Country, the famous sword, [Shusui]?!"

Kin'emon first met Zoro in Dressrosa.

At that time, the battle between the Straw Hat Pirates and Doflamingo's Donquixote Family had already ended.

Kin'emon himself was also seriously injured and had no time to care for him.

While on Zou, Kin'emon was both furious at Jack's mistreatment and worried about Inuarashi and Raizo's safety, so he didn't pay much attention to Zoro...

After all, compared to Link and Luffy, Zoro is clearly more mysterious.

Furthermore, after splitting into two groups and not seeing Zoro's prowess on Whole Cake Island, and after Zoro's return, the group was knocked out by Luffy's poisonous mushrooms, barely regaining their consciousness.

It can be said that many opportunities for identification were missed.

Even now, after Zoro changed into their familiar attire, one can't help but notice the famous sword at Zoro's waist.

Among them, the legendary Wano Country national treasure, the "Autumn Water" held by the dragon-slaying samurai Shimotsuki Ryoma, shocked them the most.

It should be noted that many years ago, Ryuma's grave was destroyed by the Moria Pirates, his body disappeared, and his famous sword "Shusui" also went missing.

This incident caused widespread grief and indignation among the people of Wano Country, and to this day, the country's residents remain steadfast in their belief in finding "Shusui" and returning it to its homeland.

Kin'emon and his companions had traveled through time and space, so they were clearly unaware that Ryoma's tomb had been robbed.

However, they also knew that the national treasure of Wano Country was clearly in Zoro's hands.

Not only were Raizo and Kin'emon greatly shocked, but the other person hidden in the forest also naturally took notice of Zoro's sword.

"Wado Ichimonji, and Shusui?!"

The old man in the woods widened his eyes slightly.

"The treasured sword forged by Shimotsuki Kozaburo, and the sword that once belonged to Shimotsuki Ryoma, both national treasures of Wano Country—why are they both in the hands of one man?!"

He was dressed in an outfit adorned with forest feathers, and it seemed as if he had two wings on his back.

On its face was a deep red mask, with a long, oval red nose that extended outwards.

Its nose is even longer than Usopp's, and it looks very similar to the appearance of the Tengu character from Japanese legends.

"And that man..."

The old man behind the long red-nosed Tengu mask was also carefully observing Zoro as he walked into the forest.

"His aura completely subsided, as if he had reached the highest realm of swordsmanship, where sharpness is concealed."

"Furthermore, judging from his appearance, physique, and other outward signs... he is absolutely a master swordsman!!!"

A glint flashed in the eyes of the old man Tiangou.

"Wano Country hasn't seen a samurai of this caliber for many years!!!"

"Just who is this suddenly appearing great swordsman?!"

He muttered it out unconsciously.

"That guy? His name is Zoro, he's a pirate."

A voice suddenly rang out beside him.

[Thank you so much to the generous donor 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch' for the incredible generosity with this donation!! Thank you!!!]

570 Second Generation Kitetsu!! Tenguyama Hitetsu!! Swordsmith!!

Zoro? Pirate?

The name does have a distinctly outer sea feel to it; it's not at all like the name of their native Wano Country.

Pirates, huh? Then they must be pirates from the outer seas.

What a pity! Such a powerful swordsman turned out to be a pirate from the outer seas.

Despite wearing such magnificent clothing that is very similar to that of their country, this person, if not told otherwise, would look exactly like the great swordsman of their country!

I never expected it to be pirates, but why are pirates here...?

Huh? Wait!!

The old man of the Heavenly Dog suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He turned his head sharply and saw a young man standing on a branch next to him, wearing what looked like a straw hat, picking his nose and tilting his head to look at him.

Tenguyama Hitsugu: "..."

Who is this guy? And how did he appear beside me so silently?!

Tenguyama Feiche's pupils contracted slightly.

The other party had come so close to him, and he hadn't even noticed.

At that moment, the hairs on his body almost stood on end.

Although the other party seemed harmless and didn't seem to have any malicious intent.

20 But who knows if the other party will suddenly attack in the next second and turn against them?!

Having previously suffered betrayals and surprise attacks, Tenguyama Hitetsu is most sensitive to this.

Therefore, the moment he saw Luffy appear beside him, he placed his hand on the famous sword at his waist without thinking.

Today was a very special day. He had planned to go out and hunt some rare game, and even intended to go to nearby farms and orchards to get fresh food.

Therefore, he even brought out the famous sword that his ancestors had forged and inscribed, just in case.

It’s just~

Just as his hand touched the scabbard, and he was about to draw the blade...

"I advise you not to act rashly..."

The gleaming, sharp blade, radiating a chilling light, was positioned precisely on Tenguyama Hitsugu's shoulder.

The sword's edge, almost slicing through skin, exuded a chilling aura, constantly irritating the neck, causing the skin all over the body to stand on end.

Tenguyama Hitsugu: "..."

His face beneath the mask was somewhat grim. Before he could react, he was subdued and lost his will to act. His life and death were once again in the hands of others.

However, this time is different from the last time. Last time, he was ambushed and caught off guard, which was caused by his carelessness.

This time, however, it was a genuine case that I was inferior to my opponent, and my loss was indeed due to a lack of skill; there was nothing to refute.

But ultimately, he was old and useless, which led him to fall into danger once again, making him feel quite discouraged and dejected.

"Who the hell are you?!"

Tenguyama Hitetsu looked at Luffy listlessly and asked.

He didn't need to turn around to know that the pirate swordsman named Zoro was also pointing his sword at his neck.

If he makes even the slightest unusual move, he will slit his throat.

"Us? We're pirates~"

Luffy, on the other hand, just laughed as if nothing had happened, and then gave his signature introduction:

"My name is Luffy, Monkey D. Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King."

One Piece... Isn't that exactly the kind of person Kaido aspires to be?!

Sure enough, this group of guys looked kind and benevolent, but in reality, they were the kind of ruthless and vicious thugs with hearts of beasts!

Tenguyama Hitetsu also felt that his future was bleak...

I can no longer collect those cute female dolls~~~

"This uncle looks really strange~"

Usopp and the others also came closer, looking at the strange old man who was secretly spying on them with some curiosity.

"He's watching us from the shadows..."

Chopper nervously hid behind Usopp, but he hid in the wrong place.

"Could it be that they are Kaido's accomplices, plotting against us?!"

"That shouldn't be the case."

Luo also stepped forward, carrying the Demon Blade of Devil's Cry.

"His attire is not the standard equipment of the Beasts Pirates, and he is also quite old. The Beasts Pirates would not assign someone like him as a scout."

"The most important thing is..."

Luo's gaze fell upon the eerie, legendary sword wielded by Tenguyama Hitsugu at his waist:

"A scout wouldn't possess such a fine knife!!"

A strange light flashed in his eyes.

Zoro was even more decisive, placing one hand on Tenguyama Hitetsu's neck and using the other hand to remove the sword from the other's waist.

The scabbard was purple and wrapped with cloth strips; once opened, an eerie color appeared in the room.

"Tsk!"

The blade was drawn, its sharp edge gleaming in everyone's sight.

"What a fine knife!!"

Law, along with Daz, Jinbe, Aokiji, and the others who followed behind, all raised their eyes slightly.

This is absolutely a knife of world-class quality.

Although they were not swordsmen, they could still tell whether a knife was good or bad.

Not to mention Zoro wielding that sword.

His feelings were even stronger because...

He detected a familiar scent on the knife.

"This eerie feeling, is it... from a demon sword..."

Zoro's gaze was fixed, as he traced the blade that seemed to exude an eerie purple aura.
