Pirate: My partner is too crooked

Chapter 98: The Curse of the Demonic Sword gives me pause
bang.

The third generation ghost fell to the ground in response.

The trembling blade made a rhythmic sound, as if it was saying some vulgar language.

Lin Zhi didn't quite understand the world of knives, but recalling the sharp touch of the blade cutting against his skin, he felt that this trip was not in vain.

It is indeed the legendary demon sword. With its quality and feel, it is indeed quite good as a supplementary weapon before entering the Grand Line!
"Eh (meow)?!"

This wave of operations left Ippon Song and Miaomiao stunned.

It turns out that "who is stronger, my arm or this knife" is purely literal!

"The result is obvious. The so-called demon sword curse was lost to my arm."

Looking at the sluggish expression of the weapons shop owner Ipponmatsu, Lin Zhi retracted his unharmed arm and chuckled, "Boss, I want this knife. How much does it cost?"

"Five, five, forget it, if you really want it, I'll give this knife to you!"

Ippon Matsu has not recovered from the thrilling scene just now.

To be honest, this was the first time he had seen such a simple and rough swordsman in all his years of selling weapons in Rogge Town.

No, how could a serious swordsman do such a thing? !

"Thank you then."

Lin Zhi was not polite and bent down to pick up the third generation ghost that fell to the ground.

The moment his hand grasped the handle of the knife, as if it had its own will, the whole knife trembled slightly.

The cold light flashed, and the coldness flowed all over the body along the handle of the knife.

"Are you so excited that you cheered because you knew you were following an extremely powerful master?"

Lin Zhi waved his arm to suppress the little movement of the third generation of ghosts, "As expected of the legendary demon sword, I can deeply feel your joy."

"Well, I think it's more like resisting..."

Ipponmatsu, who has read countless swords, immediately saw through the truth. He hesitated for a few seconds before suggesting, "The curse of the demon sword is very likely to have serious consequences. Guest, why don't you choose other good swords?"

Lin Zhi did not respond directly, but held the third generation of ghosts and waved them in the air a few times to get familiar with the weight and length of the sword.

After fiddling with it for a while, he looked at Ippon Song casually.

"Don't worry, boss. My goddess specializes in curing demons and cursing these evil things. If this knife is really so disobedient, let her purify it several times from beginning to end."

Putting aside the other aspects of the Stupid Goddess, she is absolutely powerful when it comes to purifying curses.

Not to mention just one demon sword, even ten or hundreds of them are not enough to play with!

After the words fell, the third generation of ghosts really felt vaguely an incomparably sacred and glorious aura that could erase him in an instant!

The trembling blade suddenly became quiet, and the coldness that penetrated into the soul disappeared, turning into a warmth like a spring breeze.

Lin Zhi lowered his head to look at the knife in his hand, and seemed to see the image of an old slave who nodded and bowed, with flattering eyes...

"Ah this?"

Even Ipponmatsu can't deal with the constant reversal of changes.

If he had known that the word "goddess" could subdue this demonic sword, he would never have left it in the most inconspicuous corner of the store!
However, in fact, it shouldn't be that simple. The real reason why Yao Dao calmed down was probably the familiar-looking young man in front of him...

Thinking that he could finally get rid of this hot potato, he couldn't help but feel a little more happy: "Since this knife is willing to accept you as its master, I won't say any more. If you want it, just take it."

"Then thank you boss."

Lin Zhi contentedly put the third generation of Kitetsu into the scabbard and stood there staring at Ipponmatsu without any intention of turning around and leaving.

"Guest, is there anything else?"

Ipponmatsu was a little flustered by the sharp gaze. He was very alert and looked alert.

Is this guy trying to test the power of the demon sword on me?

Seeing that this guy who liked petty gains was so slow, Lin Zhi had no choice but to ask: "Boss, looking at my good swordsman's eyes, don't you have something to say, such as entrusting your dreams or something?" "Compared to good. Swordsman, I think you are more likely to rob!"

Ipponsong frowned, his face became more alert, and he put his hands in front of him in a defensive posture.

Lin Zhi: "..."

It seems that there is no way to let Xue go.

Just when he was about to use his money power, a meowing voice came from next to him.

"Lin Zhi, I think this pistol is quite interesting. Grab it and let me study it, okay?"

Meow jumped onto the side counter and was carefully examining a newer flintlock gun held in the cat's paw.

Obviously, its villain mentality has not been corrected yet, and it habitually uses the word "rob" for the things it likes.

This kind of speech strengthened Ipponsong's suspicion.

Being able to open a weapons shop in a place like Rogge Town where pirates flocked to him from time to time, he was naturally not a soft character. Just as he was about to reach out to touch the musket on his waist, his pupils suddenly shrank and he realized very important information.

"Wait? The cat talked?!"

He shook his head, looked at Lin Zhi carefully, and then asked quickly, "No, no, what did it call you just now, Lin Zhi? Hero of the East China Sea Lin Zhi?!"

After correcting Miaomiao's speaking habit, Lin Zhi turned around and said, "Yes, it's me."

Not to mention the title "Hero of the East China Sea", it's just his name. There is probably no second one in the entire East China Sea!
"It's really you. No wonder you always look inexplicably familiar to me!"

After receiving the confirmation, Ipponmatsu looked very excited, "I didn't expect you to show up in the store just after reading today's newspaper!"

"Today's newspaper?" Lin Zhi asked in surprise.

Haven’t the news about them been in the past for a while?
"Yes! Even the Creek fleet that was domineering in the East China Sea was defeated by you. What a great job!"

Ipponson quickly ran to the front desk and picked up today's newspaper from the table.

Lin Zhi reached out and took the newspaper and opened it to read. The clear and bright characters came into view.

【Fierce naval battle!The Infinite Dreams of the Sea Restaurant took action again, and joined forces with Captain Rogge, Captain Smoker, to completely defeat the Creek Pirates, the overlord of the East China Sea! 】

Teaming up with Smoker?

The moment he saw this title, Lin Zhi frowned slightly.

After thinking about the reason, he slowly let go, sighing in his heart that he deserves to be the world government.

With Smog's style of conduct, it is naturally impossible for him to claim boring and false achievements.

In the original work, the World Government placed the credit for the Straw Hats' defeat of Crocodile on Smoker, and he almost went crazy on the spot, thus becoming more determined to change this decadent uniform.

The essence of the current situation is almost identical to the Crocodile incident:
Obviously, the World Government does not want to see the big pirates in the East China Sea being solved by people other than the naval system, even if they are good people who run restaurants on the sea, rather than vicious pirates!
If you think about it carefully in this connection, the so-called "Hero of the East China Sea" has such a resounding name, it is most likely to pave the way for publicity after successful recruitment.

"Young and promising recruit hero", this title sounds so exciting and full of justice!
It's a pity that they didn't calculate that even if Garp came forward, they wouldn't be able to recruit Lin Zhi and his party.

No wonder Garp acted so regretful when saying goodbye, and said that covering Aqua requires a certain price, which turned out to be this matter!

Reading down the contents of the newspaper, as expected, in addition to a few randomly pieced together battle illustrations, the description of Aqua is also very concise. It only clarifies the water ability, but more importantly highlights her intelligence and kindness.

Although Lin Zhi feels that the stupid goddess has little to do with kindness, let alone the smart one...

But it is worth noting that the cardiopulmonary strength showdown between King and Garp was also specially published in the newspaper.

If nothing else happens, there will definitely be another huge storm.

I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing for the king...

"If it's a man like you, if he's a famous hero in the East China Sea, please wait a moment!"

Ippon Song's excited words interrupted Lin Zhi's meditation.
