Pirate's Gas Fruit

Chapter 44 The Demon Sword
Just as the navy in front was holding a gun and looking terrified to deal with it, a white-haired figure flickering like a wind disappeared from dozens of sailors, and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in a blink of an eye.
Many sailors couldn't help but look at each other in shock when they saw this. Mod's speed was too fast for them to react.
Dasqi, who could breathe at this time, ran a few steps towards the tall silver-haired figure lying on the ground on the street in front of him with tears in his eyes. The other marines also ran away.
Arriving next to Smoker who was lying on the ground, Dasqi couldn't help but knelt down next to him as he looked at the motionless Smoker.
Dasqi kept shaking Smoker's body and shouted with tears falling,
"Mr. Smoker, Mr. Smoker, wake up!"

"Colonel Smoker!"

Hundreds of sailors looked at this scene and couldn't help but look confused. Everyone knew what would happen in such a breathless space, and they couldn't help but look extremely sad.
"Doctor, doctor!" Although Dasqi was sad, she still shouted for help from those around her.
"I'm coming!"

Two navy doctors walked out from among the many sailors and quickly came to Dasqi's side. They couldn't help but feel sad when they saw Major Dasqi bursting into tears, but they still quickly began to investigate.
"Breathing, still breathing, Colonel Smoker is still alive!" A Navy doctor quickly checked his breathing and shouted in surprise.
“It’s great to be alive, really alive!”

Dasqi couldn't help but check when he heard this. He had preconceived the idea that Smoker was dead, but when it turned out that he was still breathing, Dasqi couldn't help but cry with joy. Many sailors couldn't help but shed tears when they saw this.
"Colonel Smoker, it's great to be alive!" The surrounding sailors shouted excitedly toward the sky with their swords and guns in hand.
Smoker, who fainted but was still alive, was immediately taken to the hospital in Rogge Town by the doctor. Dasqi and a group of sailors did not have the time or ability to hunt down the white-haired Maude with a bounty of 2000 million Baileys.
On the dock street of Rogge Town, a group of people gathered in front of Mod. The leader was the red-haired Asa, who was once a famous hunter in Moon Town. Mod looked at the other person with a somewhat dejected expression, probably because of his arrest just now. I have lingering fears.
Mod said with a comforting smile, "You have lost your fighting spirit even before you entered the Grand Line. Didn't you say that you must become stronger and activate the flame knife?"

The red-haired Asa looked at the knife in his hand and couldn't help but perked up. He looked at Maud and said with renewed vigor,

"The flame knife, no, that's right, as long as the knife doesn't spark the flame, I can't stop for a moment!"

"Captain Asa!" When a group of young men behind him saw this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. They were more or less full of longing for the legendary great sea route, and their morale was a little low after being hit in Rogge Town.
Mod smiled when he saw this, and after some exchanges, he understood that the red-haired Asa had been preparing to enter the Grand Line not long after he left Hunter Island. This included building a new ship, recruiting partners, and getting familiar with the pirate life in the East China Sea for several months. Only then did we enter the Grand Route.
Asa suddenly looked at Mod and asked curiously,
"Mr. Maude, I remember that you were also put on a bounty by the navy. It seems to be 2000 million Baileys. Have you also become a pirate?"

Mod said with a smile, "Something happened and I was put on a bounty. But for me, being a bounty hunter is the same as being a pirate. Asa, let's go quickly before the navy comes after us!"

"That's right. Goodbye, Mr. Maude!"

Asa glanced at Mod, and led a group of more than a dozen boys towards the pirate ship at the dock. Mod looked at the group and couldn't help but smile, wondering if he could also recruit some partners.
Along the way, he experienced many members of the Straw Hats, but whether it was Usopp or Nami who was too young, especially since Nami had been with him for half a year, he estimated that the other party would not refuse the invitation, but he couldn't bear to disturb them. The peaceful life that the other party finally got.
The same goes for Karina. He regards the other person as a friend and can live in a relatively peaceful Donghai, which is fine.
Glancing at the sound of naval warships shelling on the sea in the distance, one pirate ship after another was constantly escaping for its life. Moder did not escape in a hurry and came to the commercial street in a few steps.
Not long after shopping, a sword and weapon shop suddenly appeared in front of him on a busy street. There were many knives inside and outside the house, especially a large number of knives in a sword basket at the door of the shop. Maud couldn't help but his eyes lit up. The shop where Zoro found two precious knives actually existed here. This feeling made him feel a little strange.
The person guarding the knife was a fat knife shop owner. He took a chicken feather and glanced at it from time to time. When he saw Maud, he said calmly.

"An ordinary knife costs from [-] to [-] beli. Customer, what kind of knife do you want?"

"Do you have a good sword with fifty skills?" Maud raised his head and glanced, picked up a sword and drew the scabbard and made a sound. The sound was not very pleasant, but the blade was sharp and felt good.
The knife shop owner coughed upon hearing this, looked at Maud who was looking at the knife speechlessly and said with a smile,
"Boy, you can afford a good sword with fifty workmanship. A sword worth at least a million beli. And if you don't have the strength to use such a sword, you will be killed!" "A sword goes with a hero. If you are not a hero, don't worry about it. Treasured sword!"

"Do you have one in your store?" Maude turned around in surprise and said with a smile.
The shop owner replied firmly, "Of course not. If there was any news, this shop would have been demolished by the pirates who visit Rogge Town every month. It takes chance to encounter a good knife. You can just pick one. Anyway, you There is already a knife!"

After hearing this, Maude laughed in amusement, and flipped her hands around in the bamboo basket. Suddenly, she suddenly had a sense of sword and pulled out a knife. She turned around and said with a smile,
"What's the difference between ordinary knives, precious knives, and famous knives? Aren't they all made of iron? Why do ordinary knives cost tens of thousands of beli, while the price of famous knives suddenly skyrocketed ten to hundreds of times!"

When the shopkeeper saw the knife, he suddenly stood up in shock and looked at the knife in Maud's hand, and said in shock,
"You, you actually found this demon knife. Impossible, how did you do it!"

"It's easy, didn't I say that I'm a swordsman, and I'm here to buy a sword!" Maude pulled out the demon sword in his hand, and an astonishing and strange sword breath emerged in an instant. He looked at the sword and was surprised by this The handle of the knife is actually extremely sharp and gives people a strange feeling.
After the store owner was shocked, he looked at Maud and explained that he thought this person was extraordinary,

"You want to buy the third generation of ghosts. After thinking about it, this sword is a demon sword. Many people who hold this sword will die. It is not a powerful swordsman who can't control this sword!"

Maud unsheathed the demon sword, held the sword, looked at the shopkeeper and asked with a smile,
"What is the difference between an ordinary knife and this knife? Why do you say unknown? This knife is really strong. Shopkeeper, you should know it if you have so many knives!"

"It's really interesting that you're testing my sword knowledge. It's okay. You actually have the time to talk about this with an old man like me. For the sake of you casually picking out the Third Generation Kitetsu, I'll tell you about it!"

The shopkeeper gave Maud a funny look, invited him to the shop and motioned to sit down. He made a cup of tea and placed it in front of Maud. He also made a cup for himself and said calmly,
"The reason why famous swords are ten times or a hundred times more expensive than ordinary swords is because they are rare. It is simple to make an ordinary sword. You can basically make it with the materials, heat, and swordsmith. But the quality varies!"

As the conversation continued, the knife shop owner systematically explained the differences in making ordinary swords and all the aspects involved. As expected of someone who sells knives all year round, he is very knowledgeable. The numerous sword-making techniques are very strange.
"But the quality of the knives in your store doesn't seem to be very different!", Maude said with a smile after taking a sip of tea.
