Famous swords in the Pirate World are weapons crafted by renowned bladesmiths, categorized by quality into—
supreme grade swords (12 works), twenty-one great grade blades, and Skillful Grade Swords (50 works).
The Morning Star Pirates currently possess three of the supreme grade swords: Mihawk's black blade yoru, Fujitora's gamblers fireline...
...and Ace, which was retrieved by Seven.
Seven's sword, musou isshin, does not originate from the Pirate World but comes from the continent of Teyvat; it is the Divine Weapon of Raiden Makoto, one of The Seven Archons.
It is currently ranked as a Super Supreme Grade Blade.
Although unsharpened, its strength is extremely off the charts, and it can amplify Haki by one hundred percent.
To be precise, the sword is Seven's greatest strength.
The moment he saw musou isshin, an inexplicable light ignited in Shimotsuki Kousaburou's eyes. Just as he was about to reach out and touch it, he was blocked by a force.
"This... this... I actually can't get close?"
This unsharpened tachi with a purple glow gave Shimotsuki Kousaburou a feeling: It was even Stronger than a supreme grade blade. What kind of person could forge such a Divine Weapon?
To think I've never heard of it; I truly am ill-informed.
To not be able to meet them is truly tragic and lamentable!
"Captain Beelzebul, you have quite the fortune."
Seven grinned: "Luck, it's just luck."
If it weren't for that blockhead on the Teyvat continent showing off, even with the trading platform, Seven would certainly never have had the chance to obtain the Divine Weapon musou isshin.
88,888 tons of gold is no small amount.
Aside from the Sky Island Gold Country in the Pirate World, Seven couldn't think of any other world where a transmigrator could obtain so much gold at once.
And be willing to spend such wealth to buy it.
One can only say it was fate; fate brought Seven and musou isshin together in a different world.
"Old man, I'll take my leave."
"Safe travels, Captain Beelzebul."
Shimotsuki Kousaburou's face fell, his feelings complicated. In order to observe Beelzebul's sword, he hadn't hesitated to promise that his one-year-old granddaughter, Kuina, would become the other's apprentice crew member in the future.
In the end, he couldn't even touch it.
"What a huge loss!"
"If that boy Koushirou knew... sigh!"
The east blue emperor set sail once more, making a special trip to Foosha Village for supplies—in reality, to let Kuma and Ginny make a trip there—before turning back to head toward Reverse Mountain.
Seven had originally prepared to sail boldly through the Calm Belt, but he was stopped by the crew members, who wouldn't agree no matter what.
He had no choice but to drop the idea for now.
The Morning Star Pirates' trip to the East Blue was, for Kuma and Ginny, equivalent to establishing an exclusive Waypoint on various islands in the East Blue.
This was precisely one of the reasons why Seven had gone to the trouble of inviting Kuma and Ginny onto the ship.
The strategic significance was too great.
From now on, the East Blue, the South Blue, and every island Kuma stepped on in the future would become the Morning Star Pirates' backyard, reachable in an instant at any time.
Distance could no longer limit Seven.
The east blue emperor, Library.
Seven found Nico Olvia.
"Ms. Olvia, once we return to the Grand Line, we'll settle you all first before we set out."
"As you know, our pirate crew has just started out, and we will certainly experience countless battles in the future. Robin is still young; in a few years, if she still wants to go to sea, we'll come back to get her then."
Olvia had also followed the Ohara scholars to sea in search of Poneglyphs, so she naturally knew the dangers of the Grand Line, especially the New World in the second half.
"Thank you. If it weren't for you..."
Seven interrupted her.
"Let the past be the past."
"One must always look forward. Now is not the time to reveal the truth. I hope you all live well and witness that day with your own eyes."
Having settled the four Ohara scholars on Sky Island, Seven wasn't worried about them being able to return to the sea.
Jump down from ten thousand meters in the air?
They would only turn into a puddle of mush.
Convincing Olvia was easy, but when little Robin heard they were to be temporarily separated, she didn't throw a tantrum; she just pursed her lips and stared at Seven with a wronged expression.
Seven was instantly defeated.
"Robin, when you're twelve, we'll come back to take you to sea. By the way, you can write a letter to Saulo, and I'll help you deliver it."
A place like the New World is not somewhere children should set foot. Back then, the three little ones on Roger's ship had no other choice.
Buggy and Shanks grew up on the Roger Pirates since they were small, while Seven joined the ship at nine as a chef to activate his system.
If there were a choice, who would want to live a life of wandering?
Hearing Saulo's name, Robin hurriedly nodded.
"Mm."
In the Ohara Buster Call, the survivors were not just Robin and her mother, but also the former Marine Giant Vice Admiral Saulo, who had been specially frozen by Aokiji.
"No rush, take your time writing."
From Foosha Village to the Grand Line, it almost crossed the entire East Blue; the journey was quite long.
Returning to the Captain's quarters, Seven specifically transcribed a portion of the manual Garp had given him. He planned to give it to Gan Fall to use as a training manual for the Thunder Cloud Guards when he took Robin back to Sky Island.
Sky Island served as Seven's base.
Although the population was less than twenty thousand, combined with Sky Island Dials, it could be considered a powerful force.
Even in the future, if the sea were to be submerged, Sky Island would become the final paradise.
Sky Island itself had Mantra, which is the inheritance of Observation Haki cultivation; the Armament Haki cultivation experience recorded by Garp perfectly filled the vacancy of not having Armament Haki.
The Thunder Cloud Guards were one of the Morning Star Pirates' reserve grand fleets; the Stronger they were, the Stronger Seven's forces would be in the future.
After finishing the transcription, Seven stretched.
Out of the corner of his eye, he happened to see an island marked with a question mark on the Grand Line chart: Small Garden.
This was a massive island that still preserved prehistoric landscapes. Besides the Giant Warrior Pirates' Captains Dorry and Brogy...
...there were also rare species like dinosaurs.
Seven really wanted to go to Small Garden to catch a dinosaur as a pet, occasionally using it as a mount, and in extremely urgent moments, it could even serve as the pirate crew's emergency food.
It didn't matter if it was strong; it just had to be cool.
If the pirate crew captured any strange Devil Fruits in the future, they could be fed to the pet, and its combat power would increase.
Stronger of the Blackbeard Pirates could even eat a Mythical Zoan; a dinosaur naturally could too.
Never mind a dinosaur, even if it were a duck, Seven was confident he could train it into a strong duck that mastered both types of Haki.
He was a noble cheater, after all!
...World Economic News Paper.
"Big news, this is big news!"
Morgans looked at the photo in his hand, a very amiable smile on his face: "As expected of the man I've taken a fancy to, Beelzebul!"
Morgans could already imagine how shocked the world would be when they learned that the legendary great pirate Golden Lion—who had just escaped from the Impel Down underwater prison—had been captured alive by Beelzebul.
This was Golden Lion!
The first person to escape from Impel Down, a pirate known as one of the three legends alongside Roger and Whitebeard, had actually been captured alive by Beelzebul.
"Tsk tsk tsk, the newspapers are going to sell like crazy."
"Print more, we must print more!"
Morgans personally wrote the press release and titled it: The End of an Old Era, the King of the Next Era.
"Who will dare to question me from now on?!"
In the entire sea, only he, Morgans, had seen Beelzebul's potential, starting to build hype for him two years ago and betting the next twenty years of the newspaper's hope entirely on Beelzebul.
Although it was initially just to increase newspaper sales by creating gimmicks through exaggerated descriptions to attract buyers, facts proved that he was very farsighted.
Beelzebul really did it; he did not let down his painstaking efforts.
"The second maritime legend has fallen; of the three legendary pirates, only Whitebeard remains!"
Morgans clenched his fists, so excited his eyes turned red as he tilted his head back and howled.
"Beelzebul, go for it!"
