"¿Qué… qué está pasando aquí?"
Ian se quedó mirando la espada del Maestro de la Espada que sostenía en la mano. Le pareció increíble y rápidamente preguntó al sistema.
"¡El tesoro exclusivo puede producir una proyección materializada!", explicó el sistema: "¡Pero la proyección solo tiene un porcentaje de las estrellas correspondientes!"
Ian lo entiende en segundos, es decir, la espada del Maestro de la Espada en su mano no logra el efecto completo del arma real, ¿verdad?
Al mirar la espada que sostenía, se dio cuenta de que era bastante larga. Esta arma, de la que no sabía si llamar espada larga o cuchillo enorme, era originalmente la del espadachín orco en Warcraft. ¡Qué altos y grandes eran los orcos! ¡Y cómo las armas que parecían normales en sus manos se volvían enormes en las de Ian! ¡Esta espada era casi tan larga como él!
Pero en cuanto a su forma, no había nada que pudiera decir; aunque parecía tosca, tanto el arco como el filo eran de primera clase. ¡Con solo verla, supo que era un arma hecha para matar!
Con un suave movimiento de la hoja, Ian escuchó la resonancia de la misma, lo que demostró que la hoja era de material uniforme y que el peso de toda la espada estaba concentrado en el lomo de la hoja, lo que la hacía especialmente adecuada para cortar.
Según tenía entendido Ian, se trataba de una espada pesada que requería ambas manos para sujetarla.
Originalmente, cuando Ian partió hacia el mar, solo llevaba una espada rudimentaria. Había pasado muchos años en el dojo y había sido profundamente influenciado por el Maestro Koshiro. Creía que lo más importante para un espadachín era tener una buena espada. Por eso, lamentaba la espada que llevaba consigo. Justo cuando Ian pensaba en cómo conseguir una buena arma, el sistema le envió una espada muy poderosa a su puerta.
Aunque esta espada larga de maestro de espadas era completamente diferente de las espadas samurái que solía usar, los principios de la esgrima eran los mismos. La espada larga de maestro de espadas no solo era adecuada para cortar, sino también para apuñalar y cortar transversalmente. Si Ian se acostumbraba a su peso, no habría problema.
Bueno, no hay problema. La clave de su peso es… ¡que tira del viento!
Aunque no tiene vaina, siempre puede llevar esta espada a la espalda y sacarla cuando quiera, ¡pero necesitaría una fuerza enorme para hacerlo! (Como Ichigo)
Con la espada larga en sus manos, Ian intentó blandirla varias veces. Le satisfizo oír el sonido de la hoja cortando el aire. Sintió que esto era lo único del paquete que no le causaba problemas.
Y lo más cómodo para Ian era que esta espada también podía desaparecer instantáneamente al quitar el tesoro exclusivo de la ranura de equipamiento. Tras volver a equiparla, reaparecería como un objeto virtual, lo cual resultaba muy práctico.
As the boat moved forward with the wind, Ian practiced waving the Blademaster Long Sword on the boat. First, to adapt to using this sword as soon as possible. Secondly, because his habits of so many years have been maintained, the sword exercise has been like his instinct. If he catches the opportunity and does not practice for quite a time, he will feel sad.
Unfortunately, concentration exercises often result in a lack of attention to other things.
In the evening, the sea breeze became more violent, and air pressure began to decrease. People with a little common sense would understand that this was a sign of a storm in the sea.
It was not until then that Ian finally regained consciousness and lifted his sails.
The weather on the sea changed, and it was not long before Ian put up his sails. The storm came, and the strong wind began to blow his boat, picking up the big waves, and rushing toward the boat. At first Ian was worried about capsizing, so he sat in the middle of the boat wearing a raincoat, relying on his own strength to stabilize the boat, but after a long time, he had to stand up, pick up the bucket left in the fishing boat, and pour the seawater on the outside!
How strong is a small fishing boat against this storm? Needless to say, everyone knows that experienced fishermen go fishing in the morning and come back in the evening, and they only stay near the coast.
It can be said that Ian was totally affected by the Anime he had seen before. Whether it was Luffy or Ace and Sabo, it seemed that they went to the sea in a small boat, which made him think that he could do it.
But it wasn't until he really experienced traveling in the sea that Ian realized that he really despised the knowledge of navigation.
Looking at it, all sides of the sea were dark and oppressive because of the gloomy weather. The sun in the sky was invisible, and there was no reference. Ian was not sure what direction he was heading.
It was hard to hold on in the storm, but his clothes and dry food in the boat were all soaked by the seawater. The clothes were not a problem, because when the sun came out, it will dry them, but his foods were all gone!
The next day, when the sun rose, Ian found that he had lost his way. When he set off, he was heading north. However, the position of the sun showed that he was actually heading west. He had no idea how far he was.
"Aaah, F*ck!" When Ian discovered this, he couldn't help slapping his head. When he was still in Frost Moon Village, the most he said to Zoro was: Don't believe your sense of direction. If you get lost, just stand still and wait for someone to save you! Ian didn't think he'd get lost now.
Ian's geographical knowledge was very poor, but he also knows that he can't go further to the west, because there seem to be no islands in the west, and he will be closer and closer to the Calm Belt of the Grand Line!
It's a gathering place for large sea kings, and Ian's small boat can't even get near the Calm Belt…
So he had to adjust his direction and keep sailing north.
However, deviating from the route means that Ian will stay longer at sea, and his dry food has already been rotten. If he wants to eat, he can only rely on the sea.
From this point, he could see that with his lack of navigation knowledge: he forgot to bring a fishing rod on his own boat!
It was enough for Ian that Uncle Hull gave him his fishing boat. Is it impossible that he prepared a fishing rod for him? However, when Ian went out to the sea, he didn't even think of it, and now he can't even catch a fish!
By noon, Ian was so hungry that his eyes were almost green. He thought of a way to tie the katana that he brought out to a rope and throw it into the sea for fishing.
However, how could a fish be hooked? The rope was so thick, and it had no hook or bait. How blind should the fish be to be caught by him?
Ian didn't know if he was hungry or dizzy. He saw that the self-made fishing rod hasn't responded for half a day, then he woke up and slammed his head. 'How could I be so stupid?' so he took off his clothes and pants and jumped into the sea with his katana.
Without a fishing rod, he had to fish in his own way. Fortunately, Ian's lung capacity was sufficient, and he could still dive for a long time in the sea.
"You should be able to catch a fish," Ian thought so.
But what Ian didn't realize was that just as he was diving, another ship appeared on the sea behind him.
It was a very large ship, with a black pirate flag hanging on the mast and a round red-nosed skull on the pirate flag.
Above the mast, a watchful sailor looked around with a binocular. Soon, he found Ian's boat on the sea.
"Captain Buggy! There is a boat over there!" The watcher immediately shouted down: "It's a fishing boat, but I don't know why there's nobody on board!"
On the lower deck, a man in a captain's cap and overcoat was sitting on a chair with his jaw pinched. This man was dressed as a clown with a big round red nose.
That's right, this was a pirate ship, and that clown was their captain, The Clown Buggy.
Hearing the call of the watcher, he was stunned and said, "Nobody's on the boat? A shipwrecked?"
"The storm last night was so fierce, maybe it's indeed that!" A black-haired man riding a unicycle next to him said, crossing his hands.
"Go personally, maybe you can find something worthwhile!" Buggy waved: "We are the famous pirate group of robbers, even if it is a small fish, we don't let it go!"
"Yes! Captain Buggy!" A crowd of pirates on deck immediately stood up and replied loudly.
Soon, a small boat was laid down on the sea and sailed in the direction of Ian's boat.
Ian did not know what was happening on the sea. He was still trying to catch a fish.
Don't be ignorant, it is so difficult to catch fish in the sea, how can a human be faster than a fish in the sea? So even though the sea was full of fishes, Ian could not catch one.
Ya no podía aguantar más, así que flotó hasta la superficie para respirar y luego volverá a sumergirse. Si la gente tiene muchísima hambre, puede comer todo lo que quiera.
Entonces Ian apareció y volvió a bucear, sin siquiera percatarse del barco que se acercaba con los piratas de Buggy. De igual manera, su figura era demasiado pequeña para que los piratas a bordo pudieran encontrarlo.
Así que varios piratas subieron al barco de Ian, registraron el lugar y no encontraron nada. Finalmente, recuperaron toda su ropa y su sombrero para Buggy…
