In Sengoku's office, as soon as everyone sat down, Shirahoshi excitedly rushed to Sengoku's desk.
Facing Sengoku's slightly twitching face, Shirahoshi tentatively reached out to grab the Little Sheep Masha.
Seemingly startled by the large hand coming towards her, Masha looked up at the enormous Shirahoshi, then quickly jumped off the table to avoid its grasp.
Seeing the lamb run away, Shirahoshi pounced forward...
Bang!
She slammed her hand heavily onto the desk, sat up Shirahoshi, and carefully rubbed her chest.
"Ouch~ It hurts so much when I fell..."
But in just a moment, Shirahoshi rallied. She strained to bury her head under the desk, and as she knocked the desk flying, she finally caught Little Sheep...
Meanwhile, during the Sengoku, the old Fleet Admiral, his lips trembling, caught his table amidst the swirling papers and bounty posters around him.
Meanwhile, watching the papers fluttering in the air, Gawain couldn't help but chuckle to himself.
Ever since I took Shirahoshi out of the Hard-Shell Tower, the little girl has gradually become so happy she's almost unrecognizable as a good person, haha!
Just as Gawain was secretly chuckling, Shirahoshi returned to Gawain's side, holding the lamb in her hands and beaming with happiness.
"Gawain, look! It's so cute! I've never seen such an adorable sheep before!"
As they were talking, Shirahoshi handed the adorable sheep to Gawain.
The lamb wasn't afraid of strangers. As soon as it was in Gawain's arms, it rolled over and lay down leisurely.
Just then, a piece of paper floated down beside it, so it stretched out its mouth, bit the paper, and began to chew it gently.
Looking at the Little Sheep slowly chewing on the paper in his arms, Gawain reached out and rubbed the Little Sheep's head.
"Wow, this is really nice. Not only does it look cute, but it also feels great to touch."
Having said that, he smiled and addressed the people around him.
"This little guy is so cute, it would be perfect with rice if stewed!"
"Huh?!!"
Suddenly, the lamb in Gawain's arms stopped chewing and froze, completely still.
The lamb stood there motionless for a long time before it slowly raised its head and stared blankly at Gawain.
When it saw the smile on Gawain's lips, it stared wide-eyed and opened its mouth dumbfounded.
This... this is going to be stewed?!
Hearing Gawain's words from not far away, Sengoku rushed over and snatched back his sheep.
"Ahem, if Saint Gawain wants to drink mutton soup, I will immediately instruct the chefs at headquarters to prepare it."
But my sheep, Saint Gawain, is not just my pet!
It is also my beloved family and friends, my brothers and sisters!
"Why?"
Upon hearing Sengoku's words, Gawain narrowed his eyes hesitantly and asked.
"So, you want to pay more?"
"I won't eat it even if you pay more!"
It was rare for Sengoku to show a bit of arrogance towards Gawain. He then quickly opened the cabinet door of his desk and stuffed Yang Yang into it.
Seeing Sengoku's tense expression, Uta, sitting next to Gawain, rolled his eyes.
I clearly wanted to see that sheep too...
So, Uta glanced at Shirahoshi, who was lying on the ground, peering curiously into front of the cabinet.
Watching Bai Xing's Shirahoshi, swaying tail, Uta's two-tone hair bun on her head couldn't help but twitch.
I'm two years older Koby Shirahoshi, am I supposed to imitate her and play with Masha?
I'm almost an adult!
No!
But Shirahoshi's tail was wagging more and more happily!
So, Uta rushed out in the blink of an eye, squeezed right next to Shirahoshi, and launched an attack on the Little Sheep.
Seeing this, Gawain smiled knowingly.
Thirteen-year-old Uta is still just a child after all...
While Uta and Shirahoshi played with Masha, Sengoku prepared tea and senbei for everyone.
Everyone started chatting, and Rayleigh, relieved of his worries, chatted with Sengoku for a few minutes.
Perhaps because everyone here Kakuzu, today's conversation has been very interesting.
They talked about everything from the increasing number of pirates to the incompetence of the Navy, and then from the quality of the prisoners in Impel Down to the sentencing standards on Enies Lobby.
Sengoku also inquired about the recent lives of the Jinbe clan, which made the honest Jinbe say that Sengoku was a good person.
However, Yixiao had a minor disagreement with Sengoku, seemingly having a different understanding of Sengoku 'Justice Ruling the World.
The conversation in the office gradually quieted down only when the sound of high heels came from outside the office door.
Knock knock!
After the knocking, Grandma Tsuru pushed the door open and Gion, who looked slightly nervous, into the office.
At that moment, Hancock's eyes lit up. What did she see?
Gion actually put her hair up in a bun?!
After a quick glance, Hancock looked at Gawain, and sure enough, after a slight surprise, Gawain quickly revealed an expression of appreciation.
Gawain's expression made Gion's complexion even rosier.
Seeing this, Hancock gritted her teeth slightly. "Old woman, you actually dress up one day? You're like an iron tree blooming!"
But based on this alone, you still can't compare to me, hmph!
Just as Hancock exhaled softly, Gion, carrying her longsword, walked towards Gawain.
Approaching Gawain, Gion slightly crouched down and handed him the Gawain.
"My lord, this is the Rokumei Kotetsu the Great Grade 21 Swords. The blade is 96 centimeters long, the guard is 3 centimeters long, and the hilt is 24 centimeters long."
The specifications are still within the standard range for a one-handed sword, but the slightly longer hilt makes it easier to temporarily grip with both hands for added force!
As soon as she finished speaking, Gion looked at Gawain nervously. For a pure swordsman, giving a famous sword to another person was of extraordinary significance.
And Gawain.
He gently took the Rokumei Kotetsu and then stood up.
With his left hand gripping the scabbard and his right hand clutching the hilt, Gawain suddenly drew his sword and swung it with all his might in a flash of cold light!
Clang~~~.
A long, drawn-out sword cry rang out, causing Gawain's eyes to light up slightly.
"Very good!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain skillfully sheathed his sword. After three months of training, this was something he could easily do.
After Rokumei Kotetsu back on his waist, Gawain came to Gion and gently hugged Gion.
As Gion blushed and turned to fix her sideburns, Gawain released Gion and turned to Sengoku with a smile.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, now that Gion has returned, we will not disturb you any longer."
"If we stay at Marine Headquarters, it might affect the Navy's training and daily operations."
"Haha, how could it be a disturbance? Apart from my sheep being slightly frightened, our navy always welcomes Saint Gawain's arrival!"
So, Saint Gawain, would you like to stay at my Marineford for another day?
"Never mind, haha, it's almost nightfall, and the sea under the night sky is even more spectacular than during the day. I'd like to enjoy it properly."
So I won't keep it!
As soon as he finished speaking, Rayleigh and his group quickly stood up and followed Gawain, striding out of the Fleet Admiral's Office.
Sengoku and Tsuru escorted everyone to the dock, then watched them board the ship and leave Marineford.
After the landing ship returned to the Dark Bird Ship and the Dark Bird Ship slowly departed...
Sengoku shook his head with a sigh.
He spoke softly to the crane.
"Compared to the last time we met, Saint Gawain was much more assertive, but the more assertive he was, the more approachable he became."
He gave me the impression of being a born big shot.
A storm is brewing!
After speaking, Sengoku looked at the pensive crane and asked a question.
"What did Gion say on your end?"
"What else can I say? That girl is acting like a little girl now, and she loses all her valor when Gawain is mentioned."
As for Gawain's personality or his ideals...
The little girl wouldn't tell me a single thing...
Grandma Tsuru shrugged gently.
"So, from this day forward, our Navy's Momousagi will be completely under the Momousagi Dark Bird Flag!"
After saying that, Grandma Tsuru turned around and walked towards the Justice Fortress with a smile.
Sengoku stood beside her, and finally spoke thoughtfully.
"Hopefully, this flag truly symbolizes a soaring spirit, alas..."
This increasingly chaotic sea can no longer withstand any more decline or regression!
Leaving the Marine Headquarters, the Dark Bird Ship slowly sailed towards Water 7. On board, Gawain Wenzheng was playing with the Great Grade 21 Swords in his hand, his eyes shining.
Although he wasn't a swordsmith, he couldn't judge just how good the sword was.
In any case, from its appearance to its feel, this sword almost perfectly fulfills all of Gawain's current expectations.
As for whether this sword is Twelve Supreme Grade Blades?
That's nothing at all.
It's important to know that even among the top Pirate King in the One Piece world, the Supreme Grade Sword are extremely rare and legendary items.
Just like the legendary dragon-slaying swordsman Ryuma, whose weapon was the Great Grade Sword, Shusui was ranked Great Grade 21 Swords grade.
Oden, the great Oden who reached his peak right from the start and was directly called a brother by Whitebeard, rather than being adopted as a son.
His swords were all Grade Great Grade 21 Swords, named Ame no Habakiri and Enma.
As for the legendary pirate Shiki, even though he was able to overpower Roger for an entire era and almost wiped out Roger's entire crew Vice Admiral the Battle of Eto War, he was still a formidable figure.
The swords he carried were still the Oto and Kogarashi, both of the Great Grade 21 Swords.
This demonstrates just how formidable the Great Grade 21 Swords are.
Beside him, Rayleigh lazily lay down on a beach chair and smiled at Gawain.
"Little Gawain, this is a token of our appreciation from Gion, please accept it carefully."
During your regular training, try not to use this sword. Wait until you Awakening Armament Haki and learn how to use Armament Haki to care for your sword before using it.
The Great Grade 21 Swords are already on par with my old Cerberus.
If you Awakening your Armament Haki early enough, you might even be able to turn Rokumei Kotetsu into Black Blade!
Hearing what Rayleigh said, Gawain looked up and asked Rayleigh a question.
"By the way, old man, you always talk about the Black Blade and the Supreme Grade Sword."
What makes them different from ordinary swords?
Upon hearing this question, Rayleigh chuckled, took a sip of his drink, and then explained to Gawain.
"Let me first tell you about the difference between the Supreme Grade Sword, the Great Grade Swords, and the Skillful Grade Swords."
First, there's the difference between Great Grade Swords and Skillful Grade Swords. The main difference is the material!
To put it another way, I saw two Famous Swords in Gion, probably Skillful Grade Swords.
"Take the Rokumei Kotetsu and slash it against those two swords, then you'll know the difference!"
"Grandpa Rayleigh!!!"
As soon as Rayleigh finished speaking, Gion's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she glared at Rayleigh fiercely.
Seeing this, Rayleigh quickly waved his hand.
"Haha, just kidding, just kidding. How could you possibly distinguish between these two types of knives based solely on their hardness?"
If that were the case, I could just grab a spiked club and clash it with Skillful Grade Swords. The Skillful Grade Swords would definitely break, but I couldn't very well classify the spiked club as Great Grade 21 Swords.
Therefore, the main difference between Great Grade Swords and Skillful Grade Swords lies in their ability to assist sword energy and their acceptance of Armament Haki!
At this point, old man Rayleigh picked up his Cane Sword, and then waved to Gion.
Seeing this, Gion threw the Famous Sword Juzawa at Rayleigh.
Catching Juzawa, Rayleigh drew his sword, then gripped both blades and swiftly unleashed his Armament Haki.
At that moment, Gawain immediately noticed something different: the black Armament Haki on Rayleigh's left-hand Famous Sword began to swirl and flow like a beautiful, flowing stream.
At the same time, the color of the knife covered in Armament Haki became even deeper.
However, on his right hand, although the Armament Haki on the ordinary Cane Sword was also completely covered, the Armament Haki on it was distributed in a very rigid manner.
After showing the two swords to Gawain, Rayleigh said with a smile.
"Those Skillful Grade Swords crafted by legendary swordsmiths naturally contain a certain rhythm within their layered metallic textures."
Therefore, every Skillful Grade Swords is far more effective than an ordinary sword when using sword energy and Armament Haki.
For example, this Skillful Grade Swords has a texture that allows Armament Haki to naturally form a flowing rhythm. When such a sword strikes an enemy, the enemy will be slightly entangled by the flowing and river-like rhythm of Armament Haki.
As for the ordinary Cane Sword in my right hand, that's just something I use for fun, haha. This sword requires me to expend a little more energy so that I can actively construct the Armament Haki distribution structure I want.
The tiny difference between the two determines whether I can save a small amount of energy in battle. Compared with ordinary swords, Skillful Grade Swords is twice as effective!
As soon as he finished speaking, Rayleigh casually stuck his Cane Sword into the ground, then reached out to Gawain.
The next moment, he caught the Rokumei Kotetsu Gawain threw at him.
With a flick of his wrist, Rayleigh drew his sword, and Armament Haki instantly covered the blade of Rokumei Kotetsu.
At that moment, Gawain saw that the Armament Haki on the Deer-Cry Tiger-Cleaver sword was spreading out like ghostly energy.
At the same time, Rayleigh continued.
"Compared to Skillful Grade Swords, Great Grade Swords is of higher quality and more transparent."
The swordsmith's excellent skill means that the Great Grade Swords do not have the regular rhythm of the Skillful Grade Swords. However, such a transparent Great Grade Swords can perfectly adapt to each person's Armament Haki and spread the sword owner's fighting style to a greater extent!
For example, me, the old man's Dark King isn't for nothing, haha!
As a result, Rokumei Kotetsu immediately appeared eerie, and the Armament Haki swirling around him surged like the Styx.
At this point, Rayleigh put down his twin swords and then quickly sheathed them.
Rayleigh tossed his twin swords to Gion and Gawain respectively, then leisurely lay back down on his beach chair.
Seeing this, Gawain took the Rokumei Kotetsu and continued to ask Rayleigh questions.
"What about that Supreme Grade Sword? Your teachings aren't over yet, are they?"
"Haha, I've never used Supreme Grade Sword before. Let Momousagi explain it to you."
After all, the Kompira at her waist is a typical Supreme Grade Sword!
Hearing Rayleigh's words, Gion pursed her lips slightly, then spoke to Gawain.
"My lord, every Supreme Grade Sword is unique. The crafting of Supreme Grade Sword requires not the most skilled swordsmith, but the most skilled swordsman!"
The Supreme Grade Sword must be the result of collaboration between the most skilled swordsman and the top-tier swordsmith.
Each Supreme Grade Sword is forged exclusively for that one swordsman.
Looking across the sea, whether it's Whitebeard's Murakumogiri or Mihawk's Yoru, Black Blade.
Or perhaps Shanks 'Griffin Gryphon, and my Kompira.
That's not just a sword, but a collection of swordsmanship insights and styles accumulated by us top swordsmen throughout our lives!
This is also why the Supreme Grade Sword can never be mass-produced!
Average order value has reached 1,600!!!
