Capítulo 27: 27. Another Half Year! Master Blacksmith - Rob!
"Add money?"
Hearing Kozaburo blurt out this quite familiar condition, Rob glanced at the old man in front of him unexpectedly. He had some doubts whether this old man was a time traveler like him. He pondered for a while.
Rob didn't try to guess Kozaburo's identity. He just nodded and agreed:
"Okay, thirty million berries!"
After exhaling the smoke ring again, Kozaburo looked at Rob and said, "Fifty million berries!"
Fifty million berries is not a small amount, at least in the eyes of Kozaburo and Koshiro. For two young children, fifty million berries is definitely an astronomical figure. But unfortunately—
The wealth accumulation of Rob and Robin is close to 100 million berries. If you take out 50 million berries, although it is equivalent to taking out half of their savings, it is not a big deal for the two who don't think about money at all.
"Can."
Without hesitation, Rob directly agreed and looked at Kozaburo expectantly:
"For the remaining 40 million berries, let me take a touch later, and I will give an extra 1 million berries! When I am here to learn the sword forging technique, I will rely on the dojo for my basic necessities."
"It shouldn't be a problem, right? Kozaburo-sensei, Koshiro-san!"
Looking at Rob who agreed so readily, Kozaburo, who was smoking dry tobacco, continued with some regrets:
"It looks like you are very rich! I'm careless... I should have asked for more! It's a pity..."
Hearing these words, Rob didn't care about what Kozaburo said but just laughed it off. For him, being able to learn an excellent sword forging technique and forging a superb sword for himself is more important than mere tens of millions of berries. Much more.
Money. Rob really doesn't take it that seriously!
That's all—
After paying 51 million berries, Rob and Robin temporarily lived in Isshin Dojo.
Rob began to follow Kozaburo every day to learn the forging technique and comprehend the true meaning of the sword according to Kozaburo's request.
Robin, on the other hand, is studying some of the books that Kozaburo brought from Wanokuni. At the same time, she cooperates with Potential Potion and Body Training Potion to develop her own physique.
At this stage, Rob does not insist on Robin's practice, but only needs to continue to develop her physique.
Besides—
Rob and Robin also got to meet Koshiro's two-year-old daughter, Kuina, who just learned to climb!
...
After a month.
Through watching Kozaburo casting various styles of swords every day and his serious explanation, Rob mastered the theoretical knowledge of the forging technique. Under the surprised eyes of Kozaburo, he cast a good-quality long sword for the first time.
At this time,
Rob's sword forging technique, according to Kozaburo, has already started.
...
Two more months later.
Rob, who has mastered all of Kozaburo's forging techniques and further developed his own style, has created his first famous sword with the quality of a Grade Blade. After continuous forging, he has crafted swords of skillful grade quality many times!
At this time, according to Kozaburo's evaluation, Rob's sword forging technique is ready for him to become a teacher. To a certain extent, his forging skill even surpasses that of Kozaburo! As a teacher, Kozaburo's success rate in creating a Skillful Grade sword isn't as high as Rob's.
...
Another month and a half passed!
After summarizing and finding mistakes, and discussing with Kozaburo, Rob improved his sword forging technique again. He successfully forged his first sword that reached the quality of a Skillful Grade blade!
At this time, Rob's forging technique is comparable to Kozaburo's. However, the difference is that Kozaburo is a legendary swordsmith who forged two famous blades at the level of Great Grade blade, while Rob's reputation is not yet well known. But it is only a matter of time before Rob, who has forged many Grade and Skillful grade blades, becomes a famous sword maker in the sea!
...
In the blink of an eye, it has been half a year since Rob and Robin came to Shimotsuki Village.
On this day--
On a shore with a nice view, under the shade of a tree, Robin held a book written in ancient characters brought by Kozaburo from Wanokuni, reading it with great interest. On the other side, Rob is holding the long sword he bought before, practicing with a style that is gorgeous, elegant, handsome, and also has a sense of danger.
Since forging five different types of Skillful grade swords in a row, Rob has not been in the state of forging and re-smelting iron every day. Instead, he has begun to relax his state. When his condition is adjusted, he will start forging—
A sword of a higher level, a treasured sword of the Great Grade level!
According to Kozaburo, the ranking of swords is not constant. The ranking of each sword may increase as the owner of the sword improves, but unless there is a strong person who can use Armament Haki to turn their own sword into a black blade, the quality of the sword will not improve!
So—
It seems that the ranking of swords among grade, skillful grade, great grade, and supreme grade blades will change, but that is due to the owner, not the factors of the swords. The quality of the swords depends on the moment when the swords are made!
If you want to create a sword with its own "character" and "temper," it depends on your own condition, the material of the forging sword, and many other factors!
There is no problem with Rob's technique, and in terms of materials, Kozaburo gave him two pieces of high-quality iron, which is enough for him to have two chances to try to forge a sword of the level of a Great grade level!
Rob intends to use these two pieces of high-quality iron to forge his own treasured sword.
So—
Now Rob is relaxing and adjusting his state!

Capítulo 28: 28. Great Grade Blade!
"Ha--"
After practicing the sword technique ten times, Rob let out a breath of stale air and then took off his clothes. He held the straight sword in his hand, jumped into the sea, and sank toward the bottom as usual. The practice of his ultimate sword technique had already paid off, but there was still a long way to go before he could master it!
Robin was no stranger to this. Ever since she knew that her Oni-chan could hold his breath for hours at the bottom of the sea, and even fight fiercely underwater for nearly two hours, she never worried about him going into the sea.
An hour passed.
Just when Robin was tired from reading and was about to take a break, a news coo flew in the sky. She raised her hand to beckon it down and bought a newspaper from the bird. Robin looked at it curiously and saw a report about Rob in a small section of the newspaper.
Surprised, she exclaimed, "Oni-chan is in the newspaper!"
[The nine-year-old genius swordsmith who forged five Grade swords and two Skillful Grade swords!]
This was a small report. The news was about Rob creating swords. There was also a small frontal photo of Rob, showing his immature but handsome face.
"It's so handsome!" Looking at Rob's photo with a smile, Robin said, "As expected of my Oni-chan! I'll save the newspaper and show it to him later! He is going to become famous across the seas! Hehehe..."
Another half hour passed.
Splash—
Rob's figure flew out of the sea amidst the sound of splashes, and he landed firmly on the green grass on the shore.
Seeing that Rob's training was over, Robin took the newspaper in her hand and walked quickly to his side. "Oni-chan, you're in the newspaper!"
While speaking, Robin showed Rob the small news report about him.
After taking a few glances, Rob was somewhat surprised. "Genius swrodsmith? Interesting! I thought we would be famous for destroying so many pirates when we sailed in West Blue and the Grand Line!"
"I didn't expect that at that time, I didn't have any reputation at all, but instead became famous for forging a few swords?"
As for reputation, Rob didn't try to build it at the beginning. But he didn't deliberately hide himself either. He didn't hide his strength before in the small town of West Blue and on some islands in the Grand Line.
As a result, he was overlooked by the reporters, but now he was published in the newspaper because of making a few good swords. How do you describe this feeling? It's subtle.
Clap--
After a quick look, Rob put away the papers, then put on his trousers and clothes. Looking at Robin, he said, "Let's go! Let's head back! I have adjusted my condition to the best! Tomorrow, I will try to forge the first Great Grade sword of my life!"
Hearing this, Robin nodded obediently, "Yes! Oni-chan~!"
The dancing Robin, like a little butterfly, circled around Rob. The two chatted and walked towards the village's Isshin Dojo. There was a kind of golden boy and jade girl, the feeling of childhood sweethearts!
...
The next day, in the forging workshop:
Rob was shirtless, his face serious, eyes bright, and expression focused. Observing and learning, Koshiro was responsible for pulling the bellows.
"Mr. Koshiro, light the fire!"
Upon hearing Rob, Koshiro looked serious. "Yes! Teacher Rob!"
As the saying goes, those who have mastered it come first. In the art of forging, Rob was much better than Koshiro, even surpassing Kozaburo, who first taught him. So when Rob forged a skillful grade sword, Koshiro called him Teacher Rob. And Rob accepted this title with peace of mind. After all, he was indeed better than Koshiro in forging technique, and even in sword skills, Rob was superior to Koshiro.
Soon, with Koshiro at the helm, Rob began to concentrate on using one of the high-quality iron materials Kozaburo had given him to forge the first top-level weapon in his short forging career!
...
Ten days passed.
On this day, inside the forging workshop:
Rob, smelling of sweat, held a sword that had completed all the processes in his hand. The blade was 115 cm long, the handle 30 cm long, and the blade itself was 85 cm long. It had a wave-like quenching pattern, a hollow pattern sword, and the handle was a uniform purple with a simplified crane pattern on it.
Hum!
Rob held this long sword with calm eyes, his fingers gently caressing the blade. He could fully feel the unreserved sharpness of this sword. It was definitely a rare top weapon in the world!
Next to Rob, Koshiro wiped the sweat from his face, looking at the treasured sword in his hand with admiration.
"What a beautiful sword! Teacher Rob, this sword has undoubtedly reached the quality of a Great Grade blade! As the 'father' of its birth, give it a name!"
Hearing these words, Rob was taken aback, then nodded. "It is indeed possible to give it a name!"
The swords that Rob had made before were all given away or sold by him at will. He had never given a name to the swords he made. Now that he had created a famous sword of the Great Grade level, he could indeed give it a name. This sword would surely become a representative work of his forging career!
"Shiraha!"
Looking at the wavy pattern on the blade and the cold light it emitted, Rob settled on its name.
"The name of this sword is the Meito—Shiraha!"
