73. Smoker

Meanwhile Luffy had gone to the execution platform to see what Roger had seen in the last moments of his life. Zoro had been roaming around and came across a shop which sold swords so he got interested.NewW novels updates at novelhall.com

There he had a meeting with Tashigi. Zoro didn't have to buy any sword here and he was just curious about the swords. Of course his curiosity led him to the cursed sword. Zoro actually had money this time as it was distributed before, so Zoro didn't owe Nami or anything of that sort.

At the end he did get the two named swords like in the original story. He would keep them as spare for now.

Usopp took another route and went to a shop that sold all kinds of weird things. He came across the sharpshooter that had challenged him to shoot at a weather cock that was very far away. Usopp accepted it and after buying the things he needed he went to this old sharpshooter who had once challenged his father.

It was safe to say that Usopp had won the challenge. But the end was a little different than the original story. In the original storyline he had just shot at the eye of the weather cock. But here Usopp just ended up burning the whole damn thing.

"What the hell is this? You ate a devil fruit?"

"Ossan.. Don't accuse me of those things. What I used is called Reishi. I collected Reishi in the air and made a bow. If I can upgrade my bow I can do more wonderful things."

"What exactly is Reishi?" The old man was confused and curious.

"Umm.. Ossan, even if I explain to you, you won't understand. But I can say that I am the only person in the world who could use it." Usopp said with pride not caring for the fact that such secrets, which fell into the wrong ears, would invoke greed. It was good that the sharpshooter didn't have any such thoughts nor his daughter.

It seemed like Luffy was really happy to stand there.

"Straw Hat Luffy, come down gently. You are under arrest." Smoker.

"Aleh.. Navy... I am not even in the sea. Why are you here?" Luffy was confused about how the navy had come after him. He didn't do anything wrong here.

"I am here to catch you. Now come down gently. I promise not to hurt you."

"Ahh.. Seems like I will have to run." Luffy said as he jumped on the other side of the tall platform and made a run. Nami had deliberately warned everyone not to cause trouble so he had to keep his word.

"Catch him. Don't let him run away." Smoker said as many marines were standing between his escape route. Luffy had to fight at this point to escape.

"Get out of my way." Luffy said as he stretched his feet and shouted

"Gomu Gomu No : Muchi "

This attack of Luffy worked as a wiper on a windshield as it took care of the marines that were standing against him and it threw the people to the side with a single attack.
