Chapter 23: 23. 50 Skillful Grade Sword: Yubashiri
——Three months later——
East Blue, Logue town Marine Colonel's office.
"Boom!"
A violent sound of opening the door startled Colonel Randall, who was busy writing at his desk. When he looked up, it was Atlas, and he suddenly became furious.
"You brat, this is the third door you've broken this month!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and ask the logistics for reimbursement."
Atlas was still smiling and said casually.
Randall had nothing to do with this guy, so he had to take out a few wanted posters from his desk and throw them to Atlas.
"Okay, okay, next time you come in, remember to open the door softly and knock on the door! This is your mission this time. The Horton Pirates , who have a total bounty of 30 million berries, and Lee's Bloody Hand Pirates who have a total of 35 million berries."
Atlas has been chasing pirates since he came back. With his current strength, the pirates in East Blue are really not enough. Atlas is also willing to accept Randall's mission. Anyway, he is saving money now. Buy a famous sword and just earn some bonus.
"In a few months, the new recruit training camp will begin. Then go to the headquarters with Smoker. During this time, practice hard and don't embarrass our Logue town base."
Randall looked at Atlas who was flipping through the wanted posters and said earnestly.
"Well, I get it. By the way, can the mission you assigned me be a little difficult? Except for the captains of these two pirate groups, who are a bit powerful, what else are they?"
Atlas put down the bounty order and said with slight dissatisfaction.
"Just be content, kid. I've given you the hardest part to crack. There's nothing you can do about it. The pirates in East Blue are only at this level."
"Okay, then I'll go and deal with them first!" Atlas has always been a resolute person, without any hesitation.
"Go away! You brat!"
…
Atlas, who had just returned from his mission, was standing at the port. He was holding a bloody sack in his hand, and traces of a human face could be vaguely seen...
"Hey! Atlas, you're back from a mission!"
"How about it, Atlas, you're not hurt."
"What are you talking about! Captain Atlas is the strongest person in the base, how can a mere pirate hurt him!"
People who knew Atlas greeted him one after another on the road, and Atlas responded with a smile and nod. There was nothing he could do about it; it was annoying to be too popular.
After going to Randall to complete the work report and handing over the reward, Atlas looked at the thick wad of bills in his hand and grinned widely with satisfaction...
In Logue Town Commercial Street, a tall Marine young officer walked into a weapons store. The owner of the weapons store was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties or fifties. When he saw Atlas walking in, he immediately enthusiastically welcomed him.
"Welcome to our store, how can I serve you?"
Atlas looked around, and finally, his eyes fell on the boss. He paused and said, "I want to buy a better sword, preferably a 50 Skillful Grade Blades."
The middle-aged boss smiled awkwardly and said, "Guest, you are joking. Our shop operates on a small budget, so how can we get a sword of the Skillful Grade?"
Atlas was a little disappointed. A sword of ordinary quality couldn't withstand his tossing.
He clearly remembered that in the anime, Zoro got two famous swords in Logue town!
However, Atlas had forgotten the name of the store. He only remembered that the owner claimed that it was a two-hundred-year-old store, so Atlas could only look for it one by one. Maybe he would be lucky enough to find it.
——A few hours later——
Atlas looked at the weapons store in front of him. There was no name, only two knives intertwined as a sign.
But he has given up hope. This is already the tenth store he has been looking for. There is nothing to gain in the future. Weapons of the level of good swords are too rare. That means Zoro can only encounter famous swords if he has the halo of the protagonist.
Walking straight to the weapons store, what I met was a young man with a half-bald head, a few hairs still struggling, and a nose... young man, it should be a young man, Atlas. Not really sure either.
The boss looked at Atlas with a flattering smile on his face: "Welcome, you can take a look and choose slowly. We are an old store that has been in business for 200 years."
Atlas was stunned for a moment and found it. The boss told everyone that it was a two-hundred-year-old store.
"Boss, do you have a Skillful Grade Blade? Money is not an issue."
Atlas recited the lines he had said countless times.
"Ah!? Are you Captain Atlas?"
The boss seemed to know Atlas and seemed to be an admirer of Atlas.
"Huh? Ah, yes, I am Atlas."
Atlas was a bit dumbfounded, but he also felt reassured. Originally, he was worried that the boss would not sell him the treasure of the store.
"Then, does your store have any Skillful Grade Blades?"
Atlas was afraid that the boss would be too excited and not hear what he said, so he asked again.
"Yes, yes!"
The boss nodded and replied, fearing that Atlas would disappear from his eyes if he spoke too late. Then he turned around and ran upstairs panting, holding a long box and showing it to Atlas as if he were offering a treasure.
"This is our store's treasure, the Yubashiri (Snow Chaser). The blade is made of black lacquered tachi and the blade is a small T-shaped blade. It is the best sword in our store."
The boss introduced with a serious look.
"How many Berries?"
Atlas asked.
"No money. The person I admire most is you, Captain Canos. How much money does a man need to entrust his dreams to a man!"
The boss said with a confused look on his face.
"No, as a Marine, I must give you money. This is my principle."
Atlas said firmly, as if you don't want money and I won't take your sword.
"Then... why don't you, Captain Canos, sign your name for me as payment?"
The boss was also in a dilemma, and finally came up with such a compromise.
Suddenly, Atlas seemed to think of something, and stood up and walked towards some buckets filled with swords placed in the corner. Atlas vaguely remembered that Zoro's Sandai Kitetsu(Kitetsu III) was found in the trash.
"Ah? Master Canos, the buckets over there are full of 50,000 berries swords."
The boss looked nervous and thought he had said something wrong.
Atlas waved his hand to signal his boss not to be nervous, then his eyes flashed red, and the observation haki was turned on!
An evil aura appeared in his range of perception, and then he grabbed it casually, and a long sword with a red scabbard appeared in Atlas's hand...
But at this time, the boss's face became extremely ugly...
