Kapitel 212: Meito

The Kuja Pirate Ship has a name, Perfume Yuda.

Under Hancock's instructions, Perfume Yuda sailed into the vast ocean.

Since the Kuja Pirates were only women, Rayleigh and Eiji were placed in separate rooms, and neither was allowed to wander around. Especially for Eiji, whose identity had to remain hidden.

Hancock did not want the Kuja Pirates to get into trouble for hiding Eiji. After all, the Shichibukai were tools used by the Marines to suppress other pirates.

In a room, Eiji took off his cloak and placed it on a chair.

"No matter how many times I see it, it feels very strange to see people with varying shapes and heights."

Lying on the bed, he was somewhat curious about the DNA of the local inhabitants of this world.

Even within the Kuja Pirates, there was a lot of variation. For example, some were as big as cars, had large heads with normal bodies, long legs compared to ordinary women, and so on.

"I want to see the Giant Race... It's not a bad idea to visit Elbaf. That's where Shanks's headquarters is. With my status as Rayleigh's student, he'd welcome me well, wouldn't he?"

Besides the curiosity of seeing the Giants, Eiji was very interested in Kamusari (Divine Departure). If possible, he wanted Shanks to demonstrate Kamusari in front of him.

By using the Six Eyes, he could analyze the path of Haoshoku Haki when activating Kamusari.

"Kamusari is a powerful technique. If I learn it, I don't have to worry about not being able to use the Limitless Technique after using Domain Expansion." Eiji said lightly.

"Before that, Haoshoku Haki must reach an advanced level. Otherwise, it's pointless."

*KNOCK* *KNOCK*

The sound of a knock on the door woke Eiji from his contemplation.

Standing from the bed, he opened the door and saw a woman dressed in revealing clothes that exposed most of her skin and only covered her sensitive parts.

"Eiji-sama, here are the books you requested."

Carrying dozens of heavy books, Marguerite did not seem to have any trouble. She also showed a respectful expression when facing the young man who was younger than her.

"Mm. Thank you."

Taking the books from her, Eiji closed the door and walked to the bed.

Previously, he had requested books to be brought to his room.

He was the type of person who easily got bored just staying still. Without a phone, he had no choice but to spend his free time reading books.

Fortunately, although people in this world spoke Japanese, they used the alphabet and English. Thus, he did not need to learn the local language as he did in the world of Zero no Tsukaima.

"Comic Sora, the Sea Knight."

"The Story of Norland the Liar."

"Introduction to Meito."

Looking at the book covers one by one, Eiji was interested in the 'Introduction to Meito'.

In the world of One Piece, swordsmen or samurai could not be underestimated. In the hands of the right person, a sword could be used to destroy an entire fleet. For example, Shanks, one of the Yonko rulers of the New World, also fought relying only on a sword and Haki.

"Meito (Famous Sword), huh... Its quality is better than the Leaf Sword, right?"

In the battle against ten million Cursed Spirits, Eiji used the Leaf Sword until it was worn out and corroded by the blood of the many Cursed Spirits he cut down.

He preferred using a sword to fighting barehanded. Unfortunately, no sword in the world of Zero no Tsukaima could withstand his overwhelming strength.

Opening the book, he began to read.

"Meito is a general term for named blades that have gained fame, either through being forged by master smiths or being wielded by renowned swordsmen. While most Meito are swords, various bladed weapons such as spears also fall under this term, and even some non-bladed melee weapons like staffs are sometimes regarded in the same way."

"In short, weapons well-known by many people are classified as Meito. They recognize the weapon just by seeing it."

Eiji originally thought Meito referred only to swords. After reading this book, his misunderstanding was resolved, and his knowledge expanded.

He continued reading carefully.

"Meito is divided into three grades. The strongest grade is Saijo O Wazamono (Supreme Grade), with only 12 weapons of this grade. Next is the O Wazamono (Great Grade), with about 21 swords known to fall into this classification. And lastly, the Ryu Wazamono (Skillful Grade), these swords are one grade above normal swords but one grade below O Wazamono, with about 50 swords known to fall into this classification."

After learning that Saijo O Wazamono was the strongest grade of Meito, he did not bother to read about weapons classified as O Wazamono and Ryu Wazamono.

As a bearer of the Six Eyes like his cousin, Gojo Satoru, Eiji was only interested in the strongest.

"Yoru, Murakumogiri, Ace, Shodai Kitetsu, Yakuza Kasen..."

Eiji memorized the names of the twelve Saijo O Wazamono weapons.

"Could that bald man with glasses also have a Saijo O Wazamono? He is a Gorosei; it makes sense for him to have one of the best swords in the world."

Suddenly he recalled one of the Gorosei who wielded a katana when surrounding him at Mary Geoise.

That Gorosei was Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro!

"Compared to the other Gorosei who wore suits, that bald man wore a keikogi. From his clothes, he looked like a samurai from Wano Country. No, it's not necessarily a Saijo O Wazamono series sword. Wano Country is famous for its swordsmiths."

Lack of intelligence could only make Eiji assume without a basis. Shaking his head, he no longer thought about this matter.

Then, he read the history of each Saijo O Wazamono weapon.

For example, Murakumogiri was Shirohige's weapon, Ace was a legendary sword owned by Roger, Yoru was currently owned by the World's Strongest Swordsman, and many other interesting pieces of information.

Eiji spent his free time reading, not caring about the two women guarding his door. He only stopped when they brought him food or when he had to go to the toilet.

Reading interest in Japan was among the highest in the world, and Eiji was no exception. Before knowing mobile phones, he loved reading books. After all, mastering the Limitless Technique required knowledge of physics to an academic level.

He was not Gojo Satoru, who was born with Six Eyes and the Limitless Technique. Therefore, he studied university-level knowledge at a young age.

Because of all that experience, Eiji enjoyed reading books.
