A New Weapon

"Teach, we've arrived!" Oden shouted excitedly from the other end of the Den Den Mushi Oden, barely able to contain his excitement. Beside him, Kozuki Toki was holding the still-infant Kozuki Hiyori, and Momonosuke bouncing around.

Whitebeard and his crew laughed heartily, "We're finally arriving in Wano Country!" Kozuki Toki was filled with anticipation; this had been her goal all along!

"Yes, everything is ready." Teach smiled, his Observation Haki extended to its maximum. He was currently in a dense forest on the edge of Wano Country.

Wano Country is vast, and his Observation Haki couldn't possibly cover the entire island. However, from his current position, he could see the sea. Although he couldn't find any trace of the Moby Dick, he could vaguely sense its direction—the direction from which the Moby Dick had come.

Whether by accident or not, the Moby Dick came from the same direction as Teach when he came to Wano Country.

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Teach whistled, and immediately a Wano Country exotic bird that looked like an eagle descended from the sky, appeared in front of Teach, flapped its wings, and then quietly perched on Teach's shoulder.

Teach took out a piece of paper with pre-written information on it. There was a small wooden bucket on the bird's chest, which was used to store important letters.

Teach put the message in the small wooden bucket, patted its body, and then it flew away in a flash, heading towards Hakumai's direction.

This was given to him by Shimotsuki Yasuiie; it's a messenger bird that can deliver messages. During this time, any occasional communications were handled through it.

Now, the message is to inform Shimotsuki Yasuiie that Oden has returned, and then, through Shimotsuki Yasuiie, relay the news to the entire Wano Country.

Teach looked in one direction, the direction that Mobius and the others were heading, and also the place where Teach on the island. Now, they were on the border of the Hakumai region, not far from there.

Besides, fourteen days have passed in Wano Country, almost half a month since I last returned. I wonder how they are doing now?

After resolving the matter, Teach traveled through Wano Country, constantly challenging various renowned Swordmaster to improve his swordsmanship.

Although it was only ten days, Teach fought solely with his swordsmanship, challenging more than thirty Swordmaster during that time, averaging three battles a day.

Teach's understanding of Teach deepened, and his combat experience also increased. During this time, Teach witnessed all kinds of sword styles, which greatly broadened Teach horizons. Among them were fire styles and lightning styles similar to his Teach. In these battles, Teach only won three, and the vast majority ended in defeat.

However, it greatly improved his swordsmanship, resulting in a significant breakthrough.

"My knives should be ready by now!" Teach chuckled to himself, beginning to look forward to the reborn Purgatory, Thunderclap, and Dragon Abyss.

With that, Teach ran towards the direction of Tengu Mountain.

Mount Tengu is named after Tenguyama Hitetsu, the greatest swordsmith in Wano Country, who lived in seclusion there. Occasionally, swordsmen would come with materials, hoping he could help them forge a fine sword.

However, during these two weeks, Tenguyama Hitetsu remained secluded, seemingly engrossed in forging something.

On Mount Tengu, beneath the hollow of the ancient tree, inside the temple, Tenguyama Hitetsu was polishing the two newly forged swords and blades. The renowned swords, Famous Sword: Purgatory and Famous Sword: Thunder Fang, were reborn in his hands, while the Sword of Kingship, Dragon Abyss, shone with its own brilliance once more.

Sensing the familiar presence approaching from outside, Tenguyama Hitetsu his two swords and a katana over his shoulder, walked to the door, and opened it. Teach was already there; the first thing he saw was the two swords and a katana on his back.

"It's finished!" Tenguyama Hitetsu smile, looking at Teach. Although he was wearing a mask, Teach could still feel his great joy.

"How is it?" Teach asked curiously as he entered the temple, sat down, and looked at the two swords and one blade in front of him.

"Indeed, this is undoubtedly no less than my masterpiece." Tenguyama Hitetsu's masterpieces were Oden's swords, Ame no Habakiri and Enma.

"A swordsmith cannot forge too many Famous Swords, because forging Famous Sword of this caliber would greatly deplete the swordsmith's energy, even life force, and shorten their lifespan." Tenguyama Hitetsu looked at Purgatory and Thunderclap and laughed, his heart filled with excitement. "Therefore, forging Ame no Habakiri and Enma is already my limit. One of these swords can cut through the sky, and the other can cut through hell. It is because of this that I became famous and established my title as the number one swordsmith in Wano Country."

As he spoke, Tenguyama Hitetsu extremely proud. This was a tremendous honor. The born monster Kozuki Oden, had cut through everything in his path with the sword he forged. His title was bestowed by the Shogun of Wano Country and recognized by all the Daimyo.

"But I never expected that two more Famous Sword like Enma could appear in my hands. Even if they are reforged, it would be enough to make me proud," Tenguyama Hitetsu laughed. Being able to forge a sword is the highest honor for a swordsmith. He forged two swords, thus becoming the number one swordsmith in Wano Country. But now, four swords have come from his hands.

Reforging this knife to a higher level, rather than forging it from scratch, was far more costly. This success opened up a new world for him, and he could continue to try such things. He had great confidence in his forging skills; nothing was more gratifying than forging a Famous Sword in his own hands.

Teach first looked at Purgatory. The scabbard hadn't changed much. He gently drew Purgatory out and held it in his hand. Purgatory had changed drastically. The blade was now dark red with dark red markings, and the blade itself was as red as crimson. The inverted T-shaped markings were visible.

It became even heavier, thanks to the effect of the Crimson Refined Heavy Stone. The air seemed to heat up, and the temperature rose. Looking at the sword, one could almost feel the astonishing heat contained within it.

"After I reforged this Purgatory, it will be even more powerful when combined with your Flame Flow Swordsmanship, perfectly showcasing the Flame Flow and even strengthening and amplifying the flames." Tenguyama Hitetsu said from the side as Teach looked at it. "It has a powerful sense of weight and conceals flames that can destroy everything. I call it Purgatory, which can burn the earth to ashes."

Next, let's look at the Famous Sword Thunderclap. Its golden and silver blade is extremely magnificent, with gold patterns on a silver body. This is the reborn Thunderclap. It still has the same chaotic "T" pattern, but compared to the previous Thunderclap, it has undergone a much greater change. The entire sword has been reborn.

Unlike Purgatory was forged in Wano Country and has the style of Wano Country, Thunderclap's appearance is completely different from the mainstream style in Wano Country. It is also made of very precious materials, but the forging technique seems a bit rough to Tenguyama Hitetsu.

In addition, Tenguyama Hitetsu preferred the Wano Country style, so the reforging of Purgatory was mainly done on the blade, while the reforging of Thunderclap was done on the entire blade, not only the blade, but also the hilt and shoulder, all of which were redesigned to resemble the Wano Country style.

Teach didn't have many requirements regarding this, and besides, he had said before forging the swords that they could be made in the style of Wano Country, like Oden's two swords.

The silver-white hilt features a clover-shaped shoulder. Thunderclap's quality is already slightly lower than Purgatory's, and with the more thorough reforging, it takes longer to complete.

Undoubtedly, Thunderclap had become harder and sharper. However, the biggest change from being reforged with Thunderstone as the main material was to the blade itself. In a daze, Teach used the Thunder Breathing Technique, generating bio-electric currents. Streams of electricity were released from Teach's hands, flowing along the hilt and then into Thunderclap.

Teach was surprised to find that the journey was completely unobstructed. Previously, there were some obstacles in the conduction of lightning, which required Teach to control, but now there were almost no obstacles. The lightning stone had merged into the Thunderclap, and the Thunderclap had also acquired the characteristics of the lightning stone.

This is probably the reason for the thunderstone. More importantly, the power of the current through Thunderclap is amplified and greatly enhanced. If the original current was ten million volts, it has now reached fourteen million volts.

Thunderclap's amplification of the current exceeded one-third, which was a huge boost, but Teach didn't know where the limit of its amplification lay. However, it was enough for Teach.

As Teach looked at Thunderclap, Tenguyama Hitetsu explained, "The quality of this Thunderclap is now no less than that of Purgatory. It took me five days to reforge Purgatory, but it took me nearly seven days to reforge Thunderclap. Not only that, I also reworked its scabbard, adding some Thunderstone to better support Thunderclap."

As he spoke, he became somewhat excited, "This is the first time I've ever seen a stone containing such powerful energy. It's truly amazing! I call this knife 'Thunderclap That Shakes the Heavens.'"

Teach was somewhat speechless. Did this Tenguyama Hitetsu really like giving his swords such grand names? He had wondered before where the names of Oden's two swords came from. It was rare for swords on the high seas to have names. Now he understood. It turned out that the names came from the mouth of this swordsmith.

However, it must be said that Tenguyama Hitetsu's cultural level is quite high. It sounds very Haki and pleasant to the ear, and it also contains the characteristics of these two swords.

Purgatory that burns the earth, a thunderous Thunderclap that startles the heavens.

Upon hearing that Tenguyama Hitetsu was very interested in Thunderstone, Teach couldn't help but smile. "If I have time, I'll bring some for you." He had plenty of such stones, far more than he could use, and it wouldn't be a loss to have them made by a famous swordsmith.

Hearing Teach's words, Tenguyama Hitetsu very pleased. He looked at the last sword, Dragon Abyss, and said, "This sword was completed today, allowing it to reveal its original form. It didn't take long, but I spent a day forging a scabbard for it. As a precious sword, it would be too shabby without a scabbard."

Tenguyama Hitetsu said to Teach, "This sword is the hardest I've ever seen, so it needs a good scabbard."

Teach looked at the Dragon Abyss Sword, gently stroking it, and couldn't help but glance gratefully at Tenguyama Hitetsu. Such a greatsword could not possibly have been forged into such a scabbard with the materials he provided; the materials must have been his own.

The sword blade and scabbard match perfectly. The scabbard is predominantly azure blue with silver accents, creating a very elegant and high-quality appearance.

As Teach drew the Dragon Abyss Sword, he felt a dazzling light and couldn't help but squint as he looked at the Dragon Abyss Sword. Although its appearance hadn't changed, it was even more dazzling and eye-catching. The deep blue blade and dark purple hilt were adorned with rare gems that shone brightly.

The Sword of Kingship, which had been dormant for hundreds of years, was still covered in dust, even though Teach had cleaned it. The dust had solidified on the blade.

The blade is engraved with mysterious runes, resembling a painting, which was previously unseen, adding to the mystique of the Dragon Abyss Sword.

Previously, the sword was covered in solidified dust, and this painting was also covered in that dust.

Teach had no idea that there were such things on the sword, but Teach quickly realized that it was a map, and the location on the map was his hometown, Arcas Island, which might contain the treasures or treasuries of the Arcas Kingdom from a hundred years ago.

However, compared to those treasures, Teach values this sword more. He knows a lot about treasures, such as the Golden Land of Shandora on Sky Island, and even the billions of dollars Teach wealth of the Kingdom of Case on Pet Island. He has given them all away. When he rises up and has great power in the future, he can easily take over a wealthy country and become its king. Therefore, he doesn't value money that much.

The gemstones that were previously dazzling are now like the difference between stars and the sun and moon. The hilt and blade of the sword were previously somewhat dull in color, but now they are brighter and deeper in color.

This is the Dragon Abyss Sword, the Sword of Kingship.

"Without a doubt, this is the most beautiful sword I have ever seen. The sword-making technique is also rare in history, created by a top-notch swordsmith. I have learned a lot from it. These are some techniques that are different from those in Wano Country. My sword-making skills have improved a lot." Tenguyama Hitetsu couldn't help but sigh.

"This is priceless to me. The materials used to forge the scabbard are merely a return gift. If you ever need any help in the future, I will certainly do my utmost." Compared to what he received, what is this small amount of material? If he wanted, many swordsmen and Daimyo in Wano Country would procure countless rare materials and ores for him.

Teach hadn't expected such a good thing. He was sure there would be powerful swordsmen among his future subordinates. If he didn't have a suitable sword, he could ask Tenguyama Hitetsu.

"Okay, I'll ask you for help if I need it in the future." Teach nodded, then stood up, hung Purgatory and Thunderclap on his waist, slung the Dragon Abyss Sword diagonally across his back, and turned to leave.

"However, something important will happen today. You can keep an eye on it, but it's best not to leave here." Before leaving, Teach reminded Tenguyama Hitetsu. Tenguyama Hitetsu didn't know that Oden was coming back, and Teach didn't plan to tell him. He would find out everything after today's events were over.

Tenguyama Hitetsu somewhat puzzled, but he didn't say anything, knowing that Teach meant no harm.
