Chapter 20: Marineford Shaking
And so the agents of B. W who were led by Miss. DoubleFinger came to Dawn Island where they quickly went to work as they sealed Mt. Colubo and slowly but surely started a massacre killing every living thing until they arrived at Dadan's House, where they fought against Luffy and Curly Dadan.
.............
"What then happened?" Grap asked anxiously to know more.
"... They lost...Sob"
Woop Slap said with tears falling heavily.
"..."
Grap sat there stunned unable to believe what he heard.
"Dogra told me.... that Luffy s.. ss saw... Dadan's head getting chopped!!! while lay... ing on the floor unable to do anything...."
Grap stopped listening to anything after he heard that Dadan's head got chopped, Shock and disbelief were the only expression on his face as he couldn't believe what he heard.
'It can't be the last time I saw them they were perfectly fine... Woop Slap might be joking around... right?'
"Grap? Are you listening!"
Grap tried to deny what he heard as true, but Woop Slap brought him back to the present as he yelled, he saw the look on Grap's face on the den den mushi and knew that the news must have been hard on him, but he wouldn't just deny it since they need him here.
"H. H... ow... How is Luffy..?"
Grap asked with his voice shaking while his emotions were swirling around in his chest, Grief for his friend's death, scared and worried for Luffy, guilty if only he trained Luffy this might not have happened,
And then finally angry that was growing by the second, those people who were responsible for this...
Whoever they are they would pay...
With their lives.
"Luffy... he lost one eye and had his entire body covered in hol-"
"..."
When Grap heard that, he wasn't able to hold his raging emotions back, unleashing his Conqueror Haki that blew the Den Den Mushi away and breaking everything near him while splitting the sky above MarineFord.
Which was shaking violently and making many marines strong or weak pass out or fall to their knees when they felt his Conquers Haki.
"Nobles... Baroque Works... Nobles... Baroque Works!!!"
Grap kept on repeating their names like a broken music player as he forced his rage on the organizations that were responsible for all of this.
The more he thought of their reason the angrier and angrier he became, Dadan's death and Luffy losing an eye was only to appease the noble's greed and the bounty on Dadan's head.
"Grap! Calm Down or you will hurt everyone"
Sengoku shouted when he arrived at the source of this raging Haki and saw his dear friend's anger, he had thought that they were under attack by one of the Emperors (Yonko).
The only ones that were left standing were the Vice Admirals and higher showing the strength of this old monster.
"Grap! Calm down!"
When he saw that Grap wasn't listening to him, he unleashed his own Conqueror Haki to stop it from destroying MarineFord and walked toward him while covering his arm in Armament Haki making it become black.
"Clam Down!"
He then arrived near The Marine Hero and placed his arm on his shoulder and shook him, which snapped Grap from his rage and brought him back to the present, Grap looked at Man who was grabbing his shoulder realizing that it was Sengoku, he then looked around the destroyed room and said with raging in his voice.
"Sengoku... Do you know... no... Give me everything you know about Baroque Work.."
.............
Back in Eastormel, LogueTown.
"This..."
Zoro grabbed the thing that Masterson threw at him and then looked at it with a little bit of shock and wonder.
It turns out they were two swords that were tied together.
One of them was a long katana with a black handle. It had a cross-shaped guard and a black lacquered sheath, though mostly black, the sheath and the handle both had thin yet elaborate gold designs on them.
The other one's sheath of the sword is deep red and continues the design of the hilt, which was wrapped reddish-brown, with a golden clasp around its middle and a golden Kashima pommel.
It had two golden clasps in short succession around its middle, and the end cap was golden.
"These two are Yubashiri and Sandai Kitetsu, they were brought from one of our weapon dealer for a hefty price since he didn't want to sell them, especially this one"
Masterson introduced the swords to Zoro, at the end he pointed at Sandai Kitetsu and said.
"Yubashiri was his family heirloom which was a little expensive but we were able to buy it but the other one Sandai Kitetsu he wasn't as willing, he claimed it to be known as a cur-"
"Cursed sword... right?"
Zoro said without taking his eyes off the sword with a reddish-brown handle looking at it with an intense look as he unsheathed the sword and started to inspect it.
The sword had a distinct blue edge pattern (Hamon) that had the appearance of flames. Its sword guard (tsuba) is golden and shaped like a rounded cross pattée.
'It's pretty sharp'
Zoro thought as he looked at the cursed sword, he then pulled Yubashiri out of its sheath while sheathing Sandai Kitetsu, then he started to inspect it.
Yubashiri was a long katana with a black handle. It had a cross-shaped guard, the blade itself was normal in appearance and its pattern was an irregular pattern (Midareba).
'And this one is a very light sword'
Zoro swung Yubashiri sometimes to get a feel of its weight since it was his first time using a sword this light.
"Yabashiri is one of the 50 skillful grade swords, its greatest attribute being it's extremely lightweight"
Masterson stayed quiet until he saw Zoro swinging his Yubashiri, he then started to explain what the Matsu told him about the sword
(Matsu The shop owner where Zoro got the sword)
"And what about this one"
Zoro said as he took Sandai Kitetsu out of its sheath and showed it to Masterson whose expression changed a little bit when he saw it.
"Sandai Kitetsu... is one of the grade swords, I originally didn't plan to give it to you"
Masterson said as he looked at the sword with a reddish-brown handle with a serious look.
"Because it's a cursed right.."
Zoro looked at the sword in his hand, after swinging Yubashiri he felt the difference between them.
".."
Bryan just watched without saying anything, he had little to no knowledge on swords since he and Damien and the other two don't use swords.
"Yes it's a cursed sword, like all of its predecessor Kitetsu swords, this one is an imitation of one of the 21 great swords, Nidai Kitetsu... "
"It's a good sword but the shop owner kept on telling me that it's cursed and he didn't even what to sell it to us until I personally went there and convinced him"
Masterson said as he looked at the sword in the greenhead's hand and then continued.
"He said many famous swordsmen have died tragic deaths because they wielded a Kitetsu sword, I bought it anyway too see if you would like to use it even after knowing all this or..."
"I like it"
Zoro raised the sword and said with an excited smirk on his face.
"Even though it might try to kill"
Bryan asked, he looked at Zoro like he was looking at an idiot, making Zoro side glance at him with his smirk widening.
"How 'bout this then my luck versus this swords curse. why don't we find out which is stronger?"
He then throws Sandai Kitetsu lightly making it spin in the air and then landing on his hand and once again throwing and then grabbing it as he continued saying.
"If I lose then I'm not men enough to possess it.."
He then throws it toward the sky as he extends his arm underneath it, letting his luck decide if he will wield the sword or not.
"You Idiot! stop fooling around and lower your arm!!"
Bryan yelled angrier when he saw the stunt that Zoro pulled and stepped forward to try and stop him when Masterson stepped in front of him and said without taking his eyes off the greenhead swordsmen who closed his eyes.
"Don't bother, he wouldn't stop even if you pulled him out of the way, he will just try to do it once again"
"Oh!"
At that moment the door was opened by Nami who came in to check on them only to see this moment, Zoro extending his arm as the sword was falling toward it while spinning.
The sword continued spinning as it fell at that moment everyone held their breath.
swoosh... swoosh...
The sword spun as it became closer to Zoro's arm, missing it in the process and falling toward the floor, and cutting through it easily.
"Looks like I would survive using it"
Zoro said with his signature smirk on his face as his arm was still extended.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
RayDKing
RayDKing Hello everyone, Author here :)
What is your opinion on Grap having Conqueror Haki? Mine is of course he has it, how can the father and grandfather of Dragon and Luffy doesn't have it.
And by sides, if even a side character like Yamato Conqueror Haki has it. Who by the way got clapped by the new marine admiral.
Then why can't the Marine Hero Grap doesn't?
Anyway, let's leave it there and talk about the second part when Zoro got the sword.
This wasn't supposed to be in the story since I thought that it might be boring reading something you already knew might happen since you guys watched the anime and manga.
But man it is one of my favorite scenes, I couldn't just brush it off, as it was one of the things that made me like one piece and Zoro as a character.
And so I tried to recreate it differently than the original so it doesn't bore you if it did bore you even after that I'm sorry for wasting your time next time I will try to skip the skip that I love :)
Okay that was all see you next time:)
Bye Peace out:)
