One Piece: Unreal Adventure-Chapter 112: You stingy bastard!

"I'm going to see if he's got any good katanas," Zoro said. "You guys just look around the shelves." The green-haired man left the three alone, and, except Coby, both men immediately went to look at the shelves and see what they could find.

Johnny wasn't exactly sure what it was that he wanted. He and Yosaku had both used Dadao's in the past, but according to Zoro, they had both been in terrible condition. That didn't surprise him to hear; they'd both been using those swords for years.

"What're you going to get?" Yosaku asked as he pulled a Claymore out of a barrel nearby and inspected it.

"I don't know," Johnny replied as he too inspected discounted blades. "It's the perfect chance to change my style up now that Big Bro Luffy is training us, but I'm not quite sure what to choose."

The shop had a vast array of blades, all of which were varying in size and shape. Half of the makes he didn't even recognize, but that was probably why Tashigi said this shop was so good. The variety was just insane.

Looking down, Johnny saw a shield resting on a display near the window. It was an Aspis shield, a bit old looking, and yet when Johnny held it, it was sturdy enough. The shield would last for long... but it didn't feel right for him.

"Hey, Yosaku, come here..."

"What..." Johnny tossed the shield, which the other one caught easily. Surprised and looking it around, Yosaku almost felt nature with it.

"Nice one... I'm definitely going to take it." Yosaku said. "But what about you?"

"Any ideas?" Johnny asked.

"I don't know," Yosaku replied. "What are you looking for?"

"Watching Mihawk with that huge blade was really cool... but Captain's naginata also gave me some ideas... so I was thinking of wielding a spear," Johnny said.

"Not bad... I will look for something to go with my new shield." With that Yosaku tried multiple swords, but they didn't feel right with the round shield. But then a silver-colored axe caught his eye.

It was a one-handed axe, with a wooden grip, but the balance and the sturdiness of the weapon were quite amazing.

"I don't know if Big Bro Zoro can teach you to use that," Johnny said, looking over at his friend's axe. Johnny had already brought a good-looking spear, "My spear is close enough to a naginata... but this is kinda different."

"Maybe," Yosaku replied. "I think I can manage... with the axe, it shouldn't be too tough."

"So a shield and an axe... quite a good combo, if you can manage it." Coby said, as he walked from just around the corner. "But I have never seen anyone fight offensively with a shield, but with the axe, it could work out."

"Yeah, but it will take much hard work with new weapons..." Johnny said, "We both changed styles... so we have our work cut out for us."

"I think so," Yosaku replied. "I may have to work harder than you with a different type of blade, but I'm prepared for that."

"We'll both have to get strong," Johnny agree as he looked down at his shield. "So that we don't bog Big Bro Luffy down on the Grand Line."

"I plan on it," Yosaku said.

Even Coby nodded. Luffy had many grand dreams and all of them required hard work for them to work.

"Are you insane?!" They heard Tashigi cry. Whirling, Coby, Johnny, and Yosaku were just in time to watch Zoro toss a blade up into the air and stretch out his arm. They both watched, horrified, as the blade fell toward his arm. Just as it was about to slice him the blade bent away from his arm, and impaled itself in the ground. Zoro looked up with a smile.

"I'll take it," he said.

"Big Bro!" Johnny cried as he and Yosaku rushed over. "What're you doing?! That was dangerous!"

"You could have lost an arm," Coby said in horror. "Even I don't want to know how much that would hurt."

"I was just testing my new sword out," he said, much to the surprise of both the shopkeeper and Tashigi. "Hey, pick out another sword for me will ya?" Tashigi seemed too shock to process his request at first, but she managed to mumble out an agreement. Before she could do anything, however, the shopkeeper ran off.

"Stay right there!" He shouted. Soon he came back carrying another blade, and he presented it to the group. "This is the best blade I have. The sword's name is Yubashiri. Although my shop is lackluster on a world scale, this is the best sword in the shop."

"I don't have money for that," Zoro replied.

"I know," he replied. "I'm giving it to you. I apologize for trying to trick you earlier, but I haven't seen a good swordsman in a long time. So I want you to have this." Zoro shrugged and picked up the blade, weighing it in his hand.

"Thanks, I guess." He said. The man nodded.

"No problem," he said. "Your friends there though, they pay full price."

"You stingy bastard!" Johnny shouted. "We're great swordsmen too!"

"I'm sure," he replied without a care in the world. "But those three weapons are high quality... especially that shield, it might look quite worn out, but it won't break easily. You're lucky I had to put 'em on sale 'cause no one was gonna buy them at the higher prices."

"Which is why they're so good, huh?" Yosaku demanded under his breath.

"Don't be smarmy, boy!" The shopkeeper shouted. "Those two weapons are higher quality than a lot of the trash in here! I'm not going to part with them for anything less than the asking price on the tags!"

"Just pay em boys," Zoro said. "I didn't have to pay, so Nami won't get on us about spending too much money."

Still upset at being insulted by the shopkeeper, Johnny regretfully forked over the money he'd been given, Yosaku following close behind. Coby was the only one that didn't buy any weapon.

"Well, thanks for the service," Zoro nodded, before turning to the Kuina lookalike. "It seems that we will be on our way, miss marine." Tashigi glanced at the clock and yelped.

"Shit!" she cursed. "I'm late for training! Captain Hina is going to kill me! Good luck, you three." She turned, the door slamming in her wake. Another curse drifted in as she tripped, scrambling away.

"Well, at least she isn't one of those corrupt marines."
