Chapter Fifty-Eight: Ouzhi Strikes the Iron Shop
"I thought it was some kind of powerful character! It turned out to be a bunch of pirates working for the government. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info" Bao Zai said with disdain: "And you were actually defeated by one of them, you are really incompetent!"
"William, this furry bear you picked up is very proud!" Kerra pointed to the dirty babyboy and said with disgust, "Even if you are arrogant, you are still so dirty!"
"I'll go take a bath now!" Bao Zai, who knew that he was disgusted by the beautiful woman, immediately ran to take a bath, but after not taking a few steps, Bao Zai said: "If I'm not mistaken, there is an island of weapons on this route, can you stop there for a while?"
"No problem!" William heard about the Island of Weapons, and he also wanted to go and see it. He hadn't used his sword since his two good knives were cut off by Hawkeye. And the direction indicated by the permanent record compass is direct, and in any case, they will arrive in the Kingdom of Alabastan earlier than Luffy and them.
"Boy, lend me a piece of clothing to wear, I don't want to run naked!" Bao Zai said with a serious face.
"What kind of clothes are you wearing as a stuffed bear?" William scolded angrily. I thought to myself that you haven't been like this in the past fifty years, and you're obviously a stuffy bear now, what is there worth showing people there?
After sailing for a while, the ship was exactly as Bao Zai said, and there was an island called the Island of Weapons on this route.
William thought that the island would not be prosperous if it was not indicated by the compass, but he did not expect that the port of the Island of Weapons was no smaller than that of Rogue Town.
The ship was docked on the edge of the dock on the Island of Weapons, and everyone was stationed in the castle inside William, while the boy sat on William's shoulder. Otherwise, if he is allowed to walk on his own, he will definitely immediately attract the attention of the passers-by around him, and even so, a hairy bear sitting on a man's shoulder will still make passers-by look at it a few more times.
After cleaning, the baozi has been sewn and repaired by Noqigao, and there is no previous tatter and dirty.
"What do you want a weapon for a stuffy bear?" William was curious about what weapon he could use with his current body.
"It's not that I want it, didn't you say that your sword was cut off by that Seven Martial Seas?" It turned out that Bao Zai learned that William was a second-class swordsman, but both of them were cut off by Hawkeye, and he still hasn't found a suitable famous knife. And he happened to know that there was a well-known island of weapons on their route, and he wanted to find two famous knives for William, of course, all the expenses were paid by William himself, and he got the money from a hairy bear!
"It's Hawkeye, he's the world's number one swordsman right now!" William corrected again. Although the Seven Martial Seas are nominally the target of the World Government's recruitment, Hawkeye Jorakel Mihawk is an outlier, and has been recognized by the World Government and the world's swordsmen by virtue of his strength.
"It doesn't matter, it's you who loses anyway!" Bao Zai said disdainfully: "You are really, as a swordsman, you don't even have your own saber, it's miserable!"
"You think a good knife is so easy to find?" William didn't care about Bao Zai's contempt at all, because the competition between him and Jorakel Mihawk was not at the same level, and it was normal for him to lose miserably.
"Maybe it's really easy to find!" Bao Zai said mysteriously as he looked at the end of the street. Since he came ashore, Bao Tsai has not let William into any of the shops, but just told him to walk straight along the street.
"Where are we going, then?" William casually glanced at the storefronts around the town of Armory, nine out of ten were selling weapons, and the remaining one was a restaurant. However, the restaurants here are actually decorated with cannons, and it is really a small island with a character.
And the shops selling weapons here are really dazzling, all kinds of sharp weapons, blunt weapons, and firearms. And this town is not a peaceful town, because it is not only the pirates who come here, but also the bounty hunters, and sometimes it is inevitable that there will be conflicts, and even fight directly in the streets.
"Where are we going next?" William saw that he was almost at the end of the street. Although there are still a few storefronts here, it is more like a recycling station. The things you want to come here are all collected from other places, and it doesn't mean that there are no good things in them, and it depends on luck if they are not enough.
"If I'm not mistaken, just keep going. Bao Zai, who was sitting on William's shoulder, pointed to the front and said, "There is an iron shop at the end of the street!"
"What are we going to do in the blacksmith shop, hurry up and buy weapons, we have to rush to the kingdom of Alabastan!" said William, speechless. Didn't they come looking for a famous knife? Why did they bring him to the blacksmith now? Could it be that they had to tailor two famous knives?
He doesn't have time to pay attention to these now, he still has to rush to the Kingdom of Alabastan to collect information, it is impossible for him to have a permanent record compass directly to the Kingdom of Alabastan, he is slower than Luffy and the others who wait for the recording compass to be full of magnetic force before setting off, this is unreasonable.
"You don't understand that. It's not an ordinary blacksmith shop, it's the shopfront of the swordsmith Oji family, and they build a supreme sword every generation!" Bao Zai suddenly said with a smug smile, "When I came to visit them a long time ago, the then owner Oji II once gave me a big sword, although I am not good at using swords!"
"Since that's the case, you can't miss it!" When William heard this, he knew that the Ouzhi family was so powerful, and every generation would create a supreme fast knife, and he also gave a big fast knife to Bao Zai, this kind of thing is unavoidable. Not to mention getting the Supreme Great Quick Knife, even the Great Fast Knife was much stronger than the two Good Fast Knives he used before.
In the face of such a temptation, where can William resist?
"This is the storefront of the swordsmith's family you are talking about?" Running to the end of the street, William asked with a disappointed look on his face, pointing to a very ordinary storefront.
There is only a lazy puppy lying in front of the store, and the sign of the store reads "Ouzhi Blacksmith", although it looks a little old, but it is the only thing neatly arranged in this storefront.
"That's right, this is it. Seeing this dilapidated faΓ§ade, Bao Tsai seemed to feel normal, and said with memories: "Speaking of which, I haven't been to the 'Ouzhi Iron Shop' for more than 70 years." β
"Welcome!" said a young girl in an apron who was striking iron after glancing at William. But she did not let go of her work, and continued to strike iron on the stove.
"What kind of ironware do you want to buy?" asked an old man with a bottle in his hand. Apparently the old man was the owner of the shop, and the girl was supposed to be his granddaughter or some other junior, for girls would not normally do such menial work as blacksmithing.
"I'm not here to see this!" William said, pointing to the messy farm tools on the ground. In fact, he wondered if he was in the wrong place, this place was a very ordinary blacksmith shop, but the signboard of this store was indeed an ironsmith shop.
"You're here to buy knives, aren't you?" said the old man, pointing to a barrel full of swords in the corner, "There's a pile there, and each knife costs 1,000,000 Bailey!"
"Is there a better knife then?" William sensed that neither of the grandfather nor grandson was enthusiastic about him, nor did he greet him much, so he had to go over and choose it himself. However, these knives really disappointed him, and all the knives in them were blunt knives, is this really the storefront of a swordsmith family?
"No, that's all!" the old man said impatiently, "You pick slowly, I'm going out to drink flower wine!"
"You're the boy of Oji IV, aren't you?" said Bao Zai, who was sitting on William's shoulder, at last.
"Huh, why does the furry bear speak?" the old man and the girl were startled by the sudden opening of the mouth. In normal people's perception, furry bears can't speak, even if they have heard of some strange races, but they all survive in the second half of the great voyage.

The Ouzhi family: has been an excellent swordsmith for generations, lives on the island of weapons, and owns a store called "Ouzhi Iron Shop", and the current owner is the fourth generation of descendants Ouzhi IV. The source is taken from Ou Yezi, the originator of ancient Chinese sword casting, the founder of Longquan and Zhanlu swords, and the Yue people from the late Spring and Autumn period to the early Warring States period.
