Crossover Anime: I'm Kasumigaoka Utaha's Brother

He gave the impression of being "not on a budget" and "unable to afford an expensive knife." Let's take a look at the "guidance" of this father and son.

"No, it's free. This sword is yours, Captain Baili Xiao. If this demonic sword can shine again in your hands, that's its good fortune."

The shopkeeper looked serious. The act of "selling knives" had proven effective in granting Solon the power to "three generations of demons" and "hide" his possessions. This was not without reason.

You could say it's a family tradition. His father was clearly a discerning swordsman who couldn't bear to let a fine knife go to waste.

"What...does this mean..."

Baili Xiao possessed the "Three Generations of Demons." He intended to give the sword to Solon, believing Solon to be the more suitable candidate. It was merely a ruse.

Even if he isn't as proficient in the "Six Styles Iron Body" as the CP agent, is there anything wrong with the product?

But the shopkeeper doesn't seem to have any intention of "snowing"?

Bai Lixiao was a little confused. .... Because he's not a "three-sword" man, do you think the master doesn't need another person like him?

"As a Marine, I can't just take your knife for nothing. Otherwise, I'll never be able to face anyone again."

Although the owner didn't seem to intend to bring up "Snow Walk" again, Baili Xiao wasn't disappointed.

After all, he doesn't have "three knives," so people might think he doesn't need that many. Usually, one spare is enough.

"So, this knife is a sharp one, and it's from the hand of a famous artist, which adds to its prestige. So it wouldn't be unreasonable to ask for 100 million berries, but because of the famous curse, this knife is bound to be a bad seller. If you give me a 7% discount, I'll take it for 70 berries."

Baili Xiao hesitated for a moment. Seeing the father and son give him a knife, he had already paid a premium.

While 0 berries could buy a sharp knife and make money, it was, after all, a cursed "third-generation demon," and most people wouldn't dare use it.

"This...this is too much! This is terrible!"

Everyone in the shop knows that this "third-generation ghost" is really hard to sell, and collectors may not necessarily cherish it.

Compared to the "Generation 4.9 Oni" and the "Generation 2 Oni", the "Generation 3 Oni" is really a bit outdated, and it doesn't even have a "quick knife", so its collectible value is average.

"No, what I like is your sense of faith. If you were buying and selling normally, I would definitely lower the price drastically. You were clearly offering it to me, but I can't accept it so readily."

As the saying goes, "If someone respects me by an inch, I will respect them by a mile," and Baili Xiao has always respected such admirable qualities.

"50? Your conscience is bothering you again. We assure you. How could you accept so much money?"

Bai Lixiao said that the parents who were "selling knives" had no choice but to insist on accepting the offer at a lower price.

"make a deal."

Baili Xiao nodded; he felt something was off.

Chapter 0378 Overwhelming

When people are buying and selling knives, all the buyers frantically lower the price, while the sellers raise the price.

They came here and got it all wrong.

"I'll send you the money later. I came to Loguetown on a mission, so I didn't bring that much cash with me. Do you think you can trust me?"

After discussing the price, Baili Xiao still felt that with his current reputation, he shouldn't even be able to offer "deferred payment" or "try before you pay".

"Of course, no problem! Captain Baili Xiao, please take this. Come back when you have the money."

The shop owner agreed.

After all, he didn't want money at first, so there's no need to rush him now.

"Yes, yes. Do you have any good knives here?"

Although he had decided on "Ghost 3rd Generation", Baili Xiao was still a little unwilling.

He also wanted to buy a copy of "Walking on the Snow." After all, it's a "good sword for fifty years."

4. It's difficult to find small knives. If Solon wanted to continue using the "three knives" technique, he would still be short of knives.

After all, the term "Wahedo" was not given to him, and "Yubashiri" and "Sandai Oni" could not seem to disappear.

Baili Xiao was very worried. He was his own child, and the question of whether he should love him or not was crucial. The key issue was that he was currently vying for favor with the "Yixin Dojo".

Preparing two famous swords will definitely increase his favorability.

A member of the "Three Ninjas of Leaves" told me that cultivating feelings should start from childhood; if you hide away from them when they are young, they will work for you when they grow up.

"Yes, that's right. But, Captain Baili Xiao, do you need so many knives?"

Sure enough, the shop owner raised a question.

He genuinely felt that Baili Xiao didn't need so many knives.

After all, Baili Xiao already had another knife on his waist; carrying two knives was a bit of a hassle. How could a normal person possibly go to the battlefield carrying three knives?

Generally speaking, carrying two swords poses a threat one at a time; most often, these are throwing knives or longer weapons that are more convenient for battlefield use. There's really no need to carry three swords.

"If the knife is usable, it can be replaced. A knife is also a living thing, so it needs to be maintained from time to time."

Baili Xiao opened his mouth and spoke.

Anyway, this kind of thing is subjective. Some people see a knife as a simple "sword of murder" or "tool," while others see it as a "close partner" or "comrade-in-arms." Baili Xiao's statement also makes sense.

"Yeah"

The shop owner was taken aback, but accepted Baili Xiao's explanation.

The old shopkeeper gave his son a "selling knives" look, and then entered the armory's interior space.

When he came out again, he was holding a knife.

Compared to the "Third Generation Demon," this sword is more like a famous sword. Its scabbard is exquisite and ornate, and at first glance, it is not ordinary. This is "Walking on Snow," one of the fifty works of good fast swords.

"Eh!"

Baili Xiao took the knife and pulled it out.

This knife is named "Xue Xue," but its blade is not pure white; it's lacquered black. The blade itself has a small T-shaped edge, which is unrelated to the name "Xue Xue." Even the scabbard is black, and the entire knife is not white.

In the early stages of Zoro's three swordsmanship, the white one was actually "Words of Wado," the red one was "Third Generation Demon," and the black one was "Snow Walk." These names can really be misleading.

"It's a good knife! Grab a sharp knife, strive hard, and you'll achieve fame."

Baili Xiao was deeply moved, prompting the father and son who were "selling the knife" to exclaim that they had "good insight." They could tell at a glance that the knife was "hidden away."

"Captain Baili Xiao seems to know a lot about famous swords. He recognized Sandaiki at a glance just now, and now he recognizes Yuki at a glance."

Selling knives was praised, and Baili Xiao was immediately identified as a "knife lover." It's not a problem for ordinary people to study these things, because they have studied them very thoroughly.

"The blade is narrow and sharp, with a small arc. The blade is bent and burned towards the ground. It has a small camel hump, a carp mouth, and a complete upturned eye. The decoration is gorgeous."

Instead of sharks and scrolls, a tree is used. These features, taken together, evoke images of snow.

Baili Xiao wasn't good at studying art, but wearing it was fine, and it gave people the impression of Raman.

Captain Baili Xiao, do you know how to forge knives?

Sure enough, the old shopkeeper looked puzzled. Mainly because Baili Xiao was too young.

The newspaper clearly stated that he was a 15-year-old "naval prodigy" and a "young naval hero" in the East China Sea.

He couldn't imagine how a 15-year-old lieutenant, even with such great strength, could possess such a jumble of other skills.

"Little by little, just a little bit"

Baili Xiao was modest in words but weak in heart. He knew nothing about forging knives.

He only knows common sense. He's only been a teacher for a few days. What advanced knowledge does he have time to learn?

"What an admirable young hero! If Zou Xue follows you, I think such a fine sword will not be wasted!"

The old shopkeeper sighed for a moment, then tried to give you the knife.

For ordinary people, especially those from the long-term weakened East China Sea, the boost from Baili Xiao's reputation is undeniable.

Of course, Baili Xiao refused. He must have paid a price for it.

However, he will pay the usual price for this "walk in the snow." Even if the boss gives him a 50% discount, this "sharp knife" could still yield millions of berries.

"I will send the money as soon as possible."

Bai Lixiao, who was attacked by two swords on the "snow track", planned to leave.

The father and son who "sold the knife" didn't care whether or not the money was returned, but of course they wouldn't break their promise.

Be neither arrogant nor impatient, and do not bully the strong or the weak.

Baili Xiao likes to use this phrase to describe the personality of smokers, and in fact, this phrase applies perfectly to himself.

"You'll have to urge Colonel Kyle when you get back."

After saying goodbye to her family who were "selling knives," Baili Xiao left the commercial street with a satisfied heart.

He owed millions of berries, but the reward for the "Battle to Save the Kingdom of Akot" should be paid immediately, and he was able to repay the debt.

This time, his prize money was overwhelming.

Chapter 0379 Absolute Sacredness

After all, he killed two "2000 million berries" and captured one "3000 million berries".

Even if he doesn't get the full reward like a "bounty hunter," one-tenth of it would be enough to pay off his debt.

Sure enough, going to sea to become a pirate would bring him the fastest way to make money.

"As a naval officer, it's quite normal to get promoted and receive a raise by being a pirate."

Baili Xiao wandered around the town of Ruggers while fiddling with two new knives.

He's been here for a while, so he knows some people here.

The other person might not like him much, but since he's finally back, he decided to go see him. He also has kind people, but he still wants to remember to repay them.

"Grandma, I'm so glad to see you're still interested."

After seven or eight laps, Vivian left the bustling streets of Loguetown and arrived in a more remote rural area.

Since the start of One Piece, Rugstown has undergone tremendous changes, with the entire town experiencing unprecedented prosperity, but the countryside remains unchanged.

Baili Xiao easily found her target by following the route she remembered.

She was an elderly woman who looked to be in her fifties.

Grandma, wearing her small glasses, looked carefully at Vivian, who was greeting her, and asked an uncertain question:

Is that Baili Xiao?
