New World, Swordmaster Island.

This was a country known as "Little Land of Wano."

Because the country's king, Sosmen, was obsessed with swordsmanship, the law required all men over eighteen to wear swords when going out. Women had no such requirement, though they could carry short swords.

Even stranger, the king's hobby had been passed down through the generations like a hereditary title. His father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and even those before them had all shared the same hobby.

This had greatly aroused the people's interest. Swordsmanship had become the country's prevailing fashion and had even developed into a custom.

As a result, the country had produced many renowned swordsmen.

The "Wandering Sword Emperor" Gress, who had fought "Hawk-Eye" Dracule Mihawk, hailed as the world's strongest swordsman, for three days and three nights without a victor emerging, had been born in this country.

In the end, Gress had no desire to compete for the title of world's strongest. He withdrew from worldly struggles, and to this day, almost no one knew where he was.

It was midsummer. The sun blazed overhead, and the heat was unbearable.

The country was extremely prosperous. Even in such weather, the streets were packed with traffic and filled with streams of pedestrians.

Two men and a woman walked down the street. They seemed completely out of place among the other pedestrians.

"I'm saying, can your body really handle drinking such strong liquor in weather like this?"

The speaker walked in the middle. He was a young man in his twenties, with a superb katana strapped to his back.
