Chapter 16 - Excalibur

Adam keep hiding his breath until far away from Borsalino, and appear back at Shakky's Rip-off Bar.

Cling! Cling!

' Haha hallo again Miss Shakuyaku, Old Man Rayleigh. I want the best beer please.. Im rich..' Adam said with his cheerful smile and sit next to Rayleigh.

' Hahaha how rich is Adam-chan ? ' Miss Shakuyaku ask with interest.

' Not much, More than 10 billion berries.. HAHAHAHA ~' Adam said drinking the beer infront of him.

' Old man, what should i do with the 25 ship ?' Adam ask confusedly.

' Ahh.. you can sell them.. Maybe you can still earn another billion berries..' Rayleigh said calmly.

' Troublesome, just a gift for Miss Shakuyaku here then..' Adam said with his grin.

' My my my.. Thank you Adam-chan.. ' Shakuyaku said gratitude.

' Then whats the next infromation you want?' Rayleigh ask with curiousity.

' I want to know where can i find the best sword. A famed sword, black blade, cursed/mythical, i dont care. Even the type Katana, Rapier, Saber, Jian i dont care which type. All i need is very sharp and strong.' Adam said seriously.

' You are a swordsman? ' Shakuyaku ask confusedly looking at Adam with no weapon on his body, Rayleigh also.

' Yes..' Then Adam use his Sword momentum from his body. Entering the Fourth Realm, swordsman also can release their sword momentum.

Rayleigh and Shakuyaku look toward Adam with their shocked expression. Seing their expression, Adam remove his sword momentum.

' HAHAHA very strong sword momentum..' Rayleigh said with a laugh.

' This, Adam-chan. Wheres your sword then?' Shakuyaku ask

' Ahh.. I lost it..' Adam said with a lie embarassed and scratching his head.

Rayleigh dumbfouded and Shakuyaku smile.

' Are you sure you want this information? The next infromation, you need to pay 10 million berries ' Shakuyaku ask with her playfull smile.

' This.. Yes..' Adam said hesistated

Rayleigh and Shakuyaku look at each other and a smirk appear on their face.

' First, we want to know where do you came from?' Shakuyaku ask.

' This? I come from East Blue, a small village far from everywhere. ' Adam said with his acting face.

' Then, how do you come here?' Shakuyaku ask again.

' This, i want to try how high i can jump, then when i reach the space, i fell down and meet old man Garp ship at Calm Belt, because i lose my things and lost my way, i take a free ride from Garp ship 3 days ago and arrive here..' Drinking his beer, Adam said half truthfully.

' Haha, how high can you jump? Interesting..' Rayleigh said with interest and believe.

' Cough.. Its my first time went to Paradise and here..' Adam said embarassedly

' Then, do you know about the Four Emperor?' Shakuyaku ask again exhaling her smoke.

' Ofcourse, they are the most powerful pirates in the whole world. They usually stay at New World..' When Adam say New World, Adam suddenly felt something wrong.

' Dont you see theres a lot pirates gather here including the Four Emperors?' Shakuyaku ask.

' Yes, why there are many pirates at here? Is there something important?' Adam ask with interest.

' Yes, you are from East Blue so you dont know.. But usually pirates in the whole Grand Line, the first half Paradise, or the second half New World. Will gather here one the thirteenth day of the first month every year since hundreds of year, some will not come because of boring, some will come to try..' Shakuyaku said seriously.

' What are their purpose ? What is it?' Adam ask hurriedly and interestedly.

' Not only the Pirates, but other organization will also come, for an example, the Marines, World Government, etc,. On that day they will all gather together at the same island to try.' Shakuyaku pause and lit her new cigarette.

' Four Emperor will always send their representative person, other organization too. Like Charlote Perospero and Page Two you caught.' Shakuyaku continue

' Is there gonna a big fight on the thirteenth day of the first month every year since hundreds of year?' Adam ask excitedly.

Rayleigh looking at Adam excited expression shake his head helplessly.

' No.. Everyone will try to pick that thing in orderly manner. The Marines, World Government wont fight with the Pirates that time. Only some newcomer pirates will fight with another newcomer to find fame..' Rayleigh said.

' Hurry up.. what are they gathering for?' Adam ask hurriedly and full enthusiasm.

' Thirteenth day of the first month every year since the 900 years, a square shaped island slowly will appear from the bottom of the sea to the surface of the sea not too far from here. Thats why many pirates will gather here preparing watching and landing on that island for fun and luck.' Shakuyaku said..

Rayleigh and Shakuyaku smirk looking at Adam eyes which shines brightly full of expectation.

' Each four side of the island is only a small 2km in length, the material of the island is not the same like other island. It was the same material like the Red Line, almost indestructible. The land is smooth and flat, no trees or other things, only some small fish being carried away when the island surface slowly from the bottom of the sea to the surface of the sea.' Shakuyaku said pausing.

' Then, nothing else ? A b.a.r.e land?' Adam ask weekly.

' No. In the middle of the island, theres a huge stone with unknown material. On top of the stone, there is one thing everyone trying to pull it up. Legends says that, the people who pull that thing has the qualification to be the Emperor of the World.'

' What is that thing!!!? ' Adam ask hurriedly

' The Holy Sword, Excalibur.' Rayleigh said calmly.

' Excalibur? In the Animation it was not mention, even the gathering about this event which not mention.' Adam thought in his heart confused.

' Did you have the picture Miss Shakuyaku?' Adam ask eagerly.

' Here..' Shakuyaku take out a picture from the cabinet below the table.

Adam look at the sword in the picture which was struck into the stone, the sword is a longsword type. The sword almost entirely gold in color, including the handle. The crossguard is shaped like a small set of wings and has a small, triangle-like plate with three green gems on it. *For the refference you can see the Excalibur sword in Sword Art Online.

' Whooah.. How about the size of this sword? ' Adam ask with expectation.

' Here..' Shakuyaku take out a sword that look a like in the picture.

' This. Fake?' Adam can see its fake, because Adam cant feel any majestic or any mythical atmosphere from it.

' Yes, many souvenir shop shell this. But its size is almost the same, the half of the blade is inserted into the stone. But if its calculated, its almost the same as this size.' Shakuyaku said calmly.

Adam pick up the sword with one hand on the grip, but the hilt is quite long enough for two hands. Adam tried to use both hands but there is still some space in the grip. Adam step down from the chair and stood up to meisure its length from his height.

Adam height is 196cm, and the sword from the bottom of the hilt to the tip of the sword is around 110 cm. The blade length is around 90 cm, and its hilt is 20cm.Not to big and not to small for Adam height.

' The sword can be called longsword, but its blade is not too width. So what type of this sword?' Adam ask while trying the sharpness of the fake sword.

' It still belong to a longsword category. If you are looking for the best sword, the Excalibur it is. Its the strongest blade, but its sharpness is zero.' Rayleigh said.

' What? Zero sharpness? But its a double-edge sword.' Adam ask in disbelieve.

' Yes, the sword is the strongest, because its indestructible, the hardest material known in this world. More stronger than the Red Line, or the Poneglyphs...' Shakuyaku said making Adam shock more.

' Hahaha good. This sword i want it. Zero sharpness? I dont need too sharp, atleast its indestructible will suit myself..' Adam said happily and giving back the fake Excalibur.

' You are sure to pull it ? ' Rayleigh ask with seriousnes on his face.

' Sure? Ofcourse ! I will be the Emperor of the World, only a sword and i cant pick it. It will be a joke. HAHAHAHAHA !' Adam laugh wildly patting his c.h.e.s.t arrogantly.

Rayleigh and Shakuyaku look at each other and smile.

' Okay Adam-chan, i believe in you. Cheer !!' Shankuyaku raise her glass, Rayleigh too. And Adam raise his beer mug too.

' What date is today btw?' Adam then ask suddenly.

' Oh its the 10th of the first month. 3 days later the island will appear, you can feel it here. Sabaody will shook a little.' Shakuyaku said.

' Its too long.. Then these 3 days, what should i do ah?' Adam ask himself

' Ahh.. If i were you, ill find go to the red district and find sleep with many women, accompany by expensive wine..' Rayleigh said casually.

' This.. You old man still good? Hahahaha ' Adam laugh.

' Ofcourse, right Shakky? ' Rayleigh ask to Shakky.

' Ofcourse..' Shakuyaku reply with a grin.

Looking at the two people talking love, Adam felt helpless.

' Oh yes, Old Man Rayleigh, if Kaido is death, what will happened to Wano? Will it be better or?' Adam suddenly ask.

' Kaido is death? What do you mean?' Rayleigh ask curiously

' I just feel that it wont be long before i met him, if he can surrender as my mount it will be good. A huge dragon as a mount, it will look handsome. But if he doesnt, then i dont mind killing him..' Adam said leisurely.

' Hmm yeah Kaido will find you, you insult him too much. If its Big Mom, maybe right now hearing that his eldest child was caught already havoc on her own country, but her other child maybe already on their way.. Kaido maybe already fly toward here from Wano.. ' Rayleigh said helplessly.

' But Adam-chan, can you fight him?' Shakuyaku still ask with a bit worried.

' HAHAHA, ofcourse.. Im the strongest man in the world..' Adam patted his c.h.e.s.t with confidence.

' But he is the strongest creature on the sea, lain and air.' Rayleigh said.

' What about it, a punch is enough..' Adam said drinking his beer.

Rayleigh and Shakuyaku felt helpless with Adam confidence, but they will still try to believe him.

' Ohh great then, if you kill him. As a starting step, it will be very good Adam-chan.. ' Shakuyaku said with a smile.

' Okay lets go have fun first.. ' Rayleigh went to pick up his cloak and cover his face in the dark.

' Where are you going old man? Can i follow?' Adam ask with expectation.

' Ofcourse, im asking you actually. You havent treat me.. Lets go to the casino. I havent been there for a long time..' Rayleigh said patted Adam shoulder.

' Casino? Hahaha good, i will make them bankrupt.. Lets go..' Adam said with great confidence.

' Miss Shakuyaku you didnt close the bar? Theres 25 ship you need to sell. Hahaha' Adam said turning to look at Shakuyaku.

' Nahh, i will ask someone else to do it, i will stay here..' Shakuyaku reply with her kind smile.

' Then goodbye.. Hey Old man ! Wait..' Adam close the door and chase Rayleigh infront of him.
