Chapter 35 Lawless Zone
Nicholas, who ran away with Spoils of War from zero-cost shopping, was not in a hurry to leave Sabaody Archipelago.
Instead, he got a Bamboo Hat and Cloak from a 'enthusiastic' good Samaritan. Then, he packed the Spoils of War into a Large Backpack and strolled around Sabaody Archipelago as if nothing had happened.
After wandering around Shopping Street, Nicholas's backpack had more Spoils of War. Of course, these things were bought with Beli, after all, he was a law-abiding good person.
Then, carrying the Spoils of War, Nicholas arrived in front of a small Ramen Shop in Gourmet Street.
Although the Shop was not big, the Fragrance wafting from it constantly tempted Nicholas, even making his Belly rumble.
So, he directly carried his Spoils of War and walked into the Shop.
After entering, he found that only one kind of Food was offered here, which was Ramen. Although there was only Ramen, there were many kinds of Ramen.
So Nicholas directly ordered a bowl of Miso Chashu Ramen.
Soon, the Ramen was served to Nicholas. Looking at the red Chili Oil, green Garlic Sprouts, smooth and chewy Noodles, and the tempting Chashu Pork and Naruto Maki in the bowl, Nicholas couldn't help but swallow his saliva and began to eat heartily.
After devouring twelve bowls of Ramen with different flavors, Nicholas comfortably exhaled and patted his Belly. It was so satisfying.
At this time, the Ramen Shop Owner with a Chef's Hat and smiling eyes, smilingly brought Nicholas a bowl of Soup.
"The guest has a really good appetite. Seeing you reminds me of that little brat in my Village back then. I wonder how he is doing now."
The Ramen Shop Owner said with a sigh. Although his eyes were not visible because of his smiling eyes, Nicholas could still hear a story in his words.
"Ah, sorry, I'm getting old and talkative."
Seeming to realize that his words were a bit abrupt, the uncle also apologized embarrassedly.
"It's okay, uncle. If you don't mind, can I sit here for a while longer?"
Nicholas asked.
"Of course, no problem, guest."
After saying that, the Ramen Shop Owner turned around again and started busying himself with his own affairs in the Backstage.
And Nicholas also took out Setsugekka, one of the fifty Wazamono Swords, from the Large Backpack beside him and began to examine it carefully.
After all, this was Weapon Equipment prepared for his Crew member, so naturally, it needed to be carefully studied.
These two Swords, Setsugekka, felt completely different from 'that guy in his body'. The aura of the Swords was not on the same level at all. In other words, if that guy in his body was a King, then these two Swords were Soldiers.
Moreover, he could clearly feel that the Sharpness these two Weapons brought him was much more peaceful.
Of course, this did not mean that these two Swords were not precious.
On the contrary, after adventuring on the Sea for so long, although Nicholas had seen Famous Swords like Murakumogiri, Ace's, Sakura Ten and Kareki, and even a few Wazamono Swords, it should be known that Nicholas dealt with the most ferocious guys on the Sea.
From this, it can also be seen that although Wazamono Swords are not comparable to Ō Wazamono Swords, they are also quite rare.
This can also be seen from the Sword Registry. The twelve Saijō Ō Wazamono Swords, the twenty-one Ō Wazamono Swords, and the fifty Wazamono Swords, these eighty-three Swords almost represent the dreams of thousands of Swordsman on the Grand Line.
It's not to say that the rankings of these Swords in the Sword Registry are immutable. After all, the Era is constantly progressing. For example, the ranking of Wazamono Swords changes frequently, because in every Era, there are always some Swordsmiths who can create amazing Weapons. However, the rankings of Saijō Ō Wazamono Swords and Ō Wazamono Swords basically do not change.
After finishing his meal, Nicholas directly put on his package, then fastened Setsugekka to his waist, paid the Shop Owner, and walked out of the Shop.
"Welcome again, sir!"
The smiling-eyed Shop Owner said with a smile.
And after Nicholas left the Ramen Shop, he went directly towards the Lawless Zone of Sabaody Archipelago, which was relatively chaotic.
After all, now that he had the Swords in hand, he had to try out the feeling of cutting people.
And Nicholas couldn't bring himself to do things like testing Swords on the Weakest and ordinary people for no reason, but those guys in the Lawless Zone didn't have so many concerns.
After all, those who can hang around in the Lawless Zone are mostly Villains stained with Blood.
Thinking of this, Nicholas couldn't suppress this idea. Seeing a Bubble Car on the road, he directly got one.
Then, leisurely riding the Bubble Car like a picnic, he arrived at the entrance of the Lawless Zone of Sabaody Archipelago.
Just as he arrived at the entrance of the Lawless Zone, he saw the Marine Remains nailed to the wooden board.
These Outlaws of Sabaody Archipelago seem to be particularly rampant. You know, Marine Headquarters Marineford is not far from here.
After Nicholas parked the Bubble Car, he swaggered into the Lawless Zone.
As soon as he entered the area of the Lawless Zone, he could clearly feel the pairs of greedy eyes hidden in the buildings and shadows.
The guys hanging around in the Lawless Zone, as mentioned before, are all lawless people. Because of their evil deeds, they had nowhere else to go, so they could only gather here. As the number of people gathered increased, their actions became more and more rampant. The Navy Corpse Remains at the border is the best warning.
And the Navy also felt a headache facing these guys. These guys are like cockroaches. As soon as you kill a batch, a new batch will soon appear. In response, the Navy also reached some kind of agreement with the Villains of the Lawless Zone, that is, the activity range of these guys can only be within the Lawless Zone.
If someone accidentally enters, they can do whatever they want. Even within the Lawless Zone, it doesn't matter whether they form gangs or kill each other. But if they dare to go out of the Lawless Zone to cause trouble, then the Lawless Zone will be directly destroyed.
These guys in the Lawless Zone are all a group of desperate Desperadoes who live for the moment. So, facing this situation, these Desperadoes also reached a tacit understanding, and would even take the initiative to clean up some guys who violated the rules.
In the Lawless Zone, the most common things are Bars, Hotels, and some Special Industry. After all, aren't these the best-selling things in the world of Pirates? As for gambling Casinos, there are not many, only a few. And those who can open Casinos here are Major Power in the Lawless Zone.
Nicholas walked directly towards Central Street in the Lawless Zone.
After arriving at Central Street in the Lawless Zone, Nicholas directly opened his Large Backpack, revealing many things inside.
In the surrounding buildings and shadows, there were many pairs of greedy eyes, staring intently at Nicholas's backpack and the two Swords at his waist.
However, these people still had some rationality, or rather, they were waiting for impatient unlucky guys to test the waters.
After a while, Nicholas found that these Desperadoes actually had no movements, which made him a little strange.
"Those two Swords at that guy's waist are the Wazamono Swords Setsugekka that appeared in the Auction House under Lehman Brothers! That's a Treasure worth five hundred million Beli!"
After someone loudly said this, the eyes of those Outlaws had turned bloodshot, and their breathing began to quicken.
Five hundred million Beli is enough to do many things.
Before long, a group of ragged Pirates, suffering from Malnutrition, came out carrying Pirate Swords with chipped blades and various pieced-together Weapons. It could be seen that these people should be the lowest level people in the Lawless Zone, and even the most basic nutrition could not be guaranteed.
