Pirates: Start the vampire fruit, rescue the empress

On the border of the East China Sea, in the village of Frost Moon, somewhere on the coast.

A white-haired old man in a kimono, with a long knife hanging from his waist, a withered figure and a straight eyebrow, sat cross-legged on the grass with a dry cigarette stick in his mouth.

In front of him, a fishing rod is inserted, and the fishing line extends to the sea below, gently drifting with the current.

His name was Kozaburo Frost Moon, a master sword maker and a samurai.

More than thirty years ago, he brought a group of samurai from Wano Country to the East China Sea illegally.

On this island, he met a woman and couldn’t help but fall in love with each other.

Therefore, he chose to settle here, expelled the evil thieves, established the village of Frost Moon, and opened a “Frost Moon Dojo” to teach the villagers swordsmanship.

Now, the old and frail Kozaburo Frost Moon, he has entrusted his dojo to his son Frost Moon Koshiro to manage, and he comes to the beach every day to fish.

In the distant sky, a black shadow flapped its black wings and flew towards this side.

Frost Moon Kozaburo glanced at it, then ignored it, he was still sitting on the grass, leisurely smoking a dry cigarette.

After a while, Sephiroth landed on the grass, put away his black flesh wings, and stood two meters away from the old man.

“Kozaburo Frost Moon…?”

Hearing this, the old man showed doubts on his face, and turned his head to look at Sephiroth a few times, he didn’t know what happened to this strange young man in front of him looking for him.

Boom!

When Frost Moon Kozaburō’s gaze fell on the two long knives on Sephiroth’s waist, he couldn’t take his eyes off….

“I heard that you are from the country of Wa, you are a master sword forger, and you once forged a demon…

I want to ask you to help me tailor a famous knife that is not inferior to it!”

“Now I… You can’t forge a knife to that extent….

With my current physical state, I can only create ordinary blunt knives at most….

Besides, don’t you already have two famous knives?

If I’m not mistaken, one of them should be Black Knife Qiushui, right?

“I do have two famous knives, and one of them is still a

black knife Qiushui…” As he spoke, Sephiroth “Gong”, pulled out the black knife Qiushui, and showed the pitch-black blade body in the eyes of the old man.

Kozaburo Frost Moon looked at Akisui seriously for a while, and he said suspiciously:

“This is the national treasure of our country and no country, how did you get it…?”

“Snatched from a pirate called Moonlight Moria…”

I see! Frost

Moon Kozaburo nodded, as if he understood something.

A few years ago, Moria was in the country of Wano and the news of the decisive battle with Kaido, and he also paid attention to it….

“This black knife autumn water is very good!

Unfortunately, it has been refined into a black knife by Ryoma, and it will never be able to exert its maximum power in my hands….

Therefore, after I got the Black Knife, I always wanted to find a weapon that could replace it. Hearing

the silver-haired young man’s words, Frost Moon Kozaburo immediately nodded approvingly:

“The temperament is good!” Truly powerful swordsmen will not covet black swords that only belong to others….

Refining the black knife by yourself is the best choice!”

The corners of Sephiroth’s mouth rose slightly, outlining a light smile:

“So… I just wanted you to help me forge a famous knife to replace Qiushui…” Ever

since he had the idea of making a famous knife, he had been asking Tezzolo to hire a master knife forging master to help him forge a knife.

And yet….

When the other party heard that he wanted to forge a weapon of the Great Quick Knife Grade, or even the Supreme Great Quick Knife Grade, they all shook their heads one after another, bluntly saying that their skills were limited and they couldn’t make it!

In desperation, he had to collect forging knife technology instead, and after studying it for a period of time, he understood how difficult it was to make a weapon of the Great Knife Grade!

Sephiroth picked up the hammer himself according to the technical information of the forging knife, and hammered it for more than a month, but he only stopped at making a relatively well-crafted sword, and even the grade of the fast knife could not reach …

“Didn’t I say that?

With my current aging body, I can’t forge a good knife at all.

“What if I could help you regain your youth?” Sephiroth smiled.

“How is this possible…?”

Frost Moon Kozaburo looked surprised, and subconsciously felt that the silver-haired young man in front of him was lying.

How can a person recover from old age and regain his youth, unless it is… The power of the Devil Fruit!?

Thinking of this, the old man’s breathing couldn’t help but become a little heavier, and his heart jumped wildly.

To be honest, he has had enough of his old body, his qi and blood are exhausted, he is about to die, and he usually runs a few steps faster and gasps a little….

“This world is full of all kinds of incredible miracles….

If I can help you regain your youthful state forty years ago, how about you help me forge a famous knife that is not weak and devilish?

Sephiroth smiled and proposed his own trading terms.

“Can you really help me regain my youth?”

Kozaburo Frost Moon was still a little suspicious.

“Of course!”

“Good! …… If you can help me regain my youth, I will help you forge a famous knife that is not weaker than Yan Demon!”

Getting the answer he wanted, Sephiroth smiled with satisfaction, and he directly reached out and put his hand on the old man’s neck.

The surging source of life force flowed out from his palm and poured into the old man’s limbs, causing the other party’s skin, flesh and blood, and height to begin earth-shaking changes!

! The wrinkled skin became full, the thin hand and foot muscles began to swell, and the body gradually became straight and burly.

In a short while, the white-haired old man turned back into a burly, muscular black-haired young man.

“I’ve really regained my youth…!?”

Frost Moon Kozaburo had a shocked expression, looking at his strong and powerful hands, he could even clearly feel that the power that emerged from the hundred corpses of his limbs, the feeling of weakness and old age before, were all swept away!

Sephiroth narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled, and he explained to the other party:

“I have instilled forty years of life into your body….

However, you need to pay attention to the fact that this life source force does not belong to you after all, it is a foreign force!

If you are seriously injured, this life source will quickly pass away, causing you to return to your old state…

Of course, if you are not injured and live a peaceful life, your body will age at a normal rate…” Frost

Moon Kozaburo calmed his mood, and then looked at the silver-haired young man again, and he said in a respectful tone:

“I don’t know… What is this adult’s called? ”

Just call me Sephiroth.”

“Good! Lord Sephiroth, may I take the liberty of looking at your other knife? Hearing

this, Sephiroth looked down at the butcher knife on his waist before he spoke:

“This is a very fierce knife, you better be mentally prepared…”

As he spoke, the long knife came out of its sheath, bringing a cold light, and he handed the handle of the butcher knife to the other party.

Frost Moon Kozaburo stretched out his right hand, as soon as he grasped the handle of the knife, as soon as he touched, he felt a suction force coming from the knife, which was continuously absorbing his life force!

And yet….

Frost Moon Kozaburo did not mean to let go, he carefully looked at the blue-black blade and the red pattern on it, and sighed:

“Good knife!” …… Good knife! …… What a knife!

The sword is a tool used to kill!

The purpose of our knife forging craftsmen is to make the sword better kill and take more lives….

The maker of this knife simply took this concept to the extreme!

What’s its name…?”

“Butcher knife!”
