Chapter 27: [27]Arrived To Syrup village
"Nami, you should know that the sword I gave you is a cursed sword." Ren was with Nami and Nojiko on deck,He decided to tell Nami some information about the cursed swords.
"Cursed sword?" Nami was confused, but she wasn't afraid.
Nojiko also became drawn into their conversation and began to listen intently.
"The cursed sword is a sword that everyone who has ever used has died 'Sendai kitetsu' that you carry on your waist is also a cursed sword that has caused the death of all its owners."
"Eeeh? There's something like this? But I didn't feel anything strange when I caught it a while ago." Nami looked at Sendai kitetsu hanging on her waist with surprise and some fear.
"This is because the sword hasn't yet come out of its sheath." Ren explained, He actually hasn't taken Sendai kitetsu out of its sheath since he got it in logeutown.
Nojiko overheard the conversation and was naturally worried about Nami, Bell-Mere also did the same.
"Oh...if that's the reason, isn't there a way to use it then?"Nami wondered, then waited for Ren's answer.
"Actually, it's not like you'll die 100% if you use this sword, as long as you can handle Sendai kitetsu's strong bloodlust, you can tame it." What Ren said was true.
In the original work, Sendai kitetsu stayed with Zoro for a long time and still didn't break, fighting with him in all his battles and even contributing to Kaido's permanent scar along with his other two swords.
Sendai kitetsu could be considered very suitable for Nami currently, she just had to curb his thirst for blood.
With the swordsmanship Nami obtained from the system, Ren believes she can do this.
So how can I control this sword?" Nami quickly took the Sendai kitetsu from her waist but hadn't taken it out of the sheath yet.
"As long as your willpower is sufficient, you can control this cursed sword. It is still among the top 51 swords, so it will not be difficult for you to control it even though your strength is a little low." Ren said frankly, Nami was still weak to face one of the cursed swords in the Top 12 Sword Set, but Sendai kitetsu wasn't that strong.
"Amm, I'll try this now."
Nami said and then looked at Ren with determination. Nojiko wanted to say something to her sister, but Ren walked up to her and reassured her.
"..."
When Bell-mere saw Ren's confident look, she didn't say anything to stop Nami from doing this, just encouraged her.
"Huff..."
Nami took a deep breath, then in the next moment she unsheathed her sword.
"!!"
She felt the drawn sword in her hand wanting to swallow and kill everything. It was great bloodlust and a strong killing intent coming out of the sword.
Nami's right hand, in which she held the sword, shook, but she quickly took another deep breath and calmed her trembling hand.
She mentally reacted to the strong killing intent and bloodlust emanating from the sword, thanks to her swordsmanship talent she was little by little overcoming the will of the cursed sword.
Ren looked at this scene from the side, it went as he expected and thanks to the swordsmanship talent coming from the mysterious power of his system, Nami was able to fight against the will of the cursed sword even though she had never touched any sword in her entire life.
Nojiko, she looked at this scene and let out a sigh of relief, Bell-mere did the same
Nami had her eyes closed and her brows furrowed slightly, looking as if she was struggling against the will of the cursed sword.
She tightened her grip on the sword hilt with her eyes still closed, breathing evenly, then calmed down and her face relaxed, indicating that she was no longer struggling like before.
*Swich~!*
She waved the sword as she tried to apply what Ren had told her about air pressure to create a compressed energy blade.
As Nami closed her eyes, she remembered Ren's words from earlier when he gave her swordsmanship talent.
*Why do you want to swing your sword? For what? If you know the answer to this question, you will be able to cut anything!"
Nami knew the answer to this question now. She wanted fight with her sword for him, she wanted cut and kill his enemies, she wanted help him to complete his target!
'Focus on physical strength...sensing the sharpness of the sword...then cutting!'
Nami said inwardly, then opened her hazel eyes and waved her cursed sword.
*Wooosh~*
A 1 meter long crimson blade shot out from the cursed sword with immense killing intent.
*Boom!"
The empty barrel that was on the deck was sliced into a funnel by the crimson blade that quickly disappeared after that.
*Gasp~Gasp~*
"Huff...haaah...I did it..."
Nami was tired and panting heavily, even though the energy blade was small and could be considered weak, this took a lot of her mental strength that she had previously consumed fighting against the will of the Cursed Sword.
*tap~tap~tap~tap.*
"Well done Nami, being able to generate a sharp blade in the first time is great."
Ren was applauding Nami and went in front of her and then started using the "Divine Massage" skill to relieve her tired.
Nami quickly calmed and her breathing stabilized cause of Ren's good massage.
"Congratulations Nami! Looks like you're getting stronger." Nojiko presented to her sister with a beautiful smile and congratulated her.
"Um...thank you all." She said with a proud smile on her beautiful face, then put Sendai kitetsu into the sheath and put it on her waist.

Syrup village.
Luffy and his group met Ussop, Yasopp's son, and formed a friendship with him after talking a little about Yasopp.
Luffy was looking for a place to find a ship to begin his journey as a pirate, so he asked Ussop.
He told him that the people of this village aren't rich and they have no way to give him a ship or something like that, but there is a palace on this island that belongs to a rich young lady who might be able to help them.
"Rich young lady?" The man called Maron asked curiously.
After Luffy and Zoro saved him from drowning in the sea cause his boat crashed, he decided to return the favor to them and become the navigator of Luffy's crew.
Since he was young, he had been taught about navigation, the sea, weather sciences, etc...so he had a good understanding of navigation in East Blue and even how to enter the Grand Line.
"Yes, her name is Kaya, should we go together to see her? Even though she has been sick recently..."
Ussop said in a hesitant tone. He was afraid that such a thing would upset Kaya and make her health worse.
After a little thought he finally decided to lead them to the palace.
"Cihchichi, thank you Ussop!"
Luffy laughed his usual stupid laugh and looked at Ussop gratefully.
But this time, Luffy and the others didn't know that a pirate ship had just arrived at the village's shore.
•••
Ren arrived at the shore of Syrup Village, the first thing his Observation Haki noticed was a small boat.
"tath...."
Ren thought for a while and dug up his memories. After a while, he became serious. Nami and Nojiko noticed this, so they thought something had happened.
"What happened Ren?"
"Is something bothering you?"
Ren looked at the two girls, then sighed and reassured them that everything was fine.
"It doesn't matter, even if Luffy has already arrived, it seems that the conspiracy hasn't begun yet and the "Black Cat" Pirates haven't attacked the island yet, so everything is fine." Ren thought internally.
The ship docked on the beach, then Ren stored it in the Infinity Space, also he went to Luffy's boat and stored it in the Infinity Space.
"Let's go, Nami, Nojiko."
He grabbed the two girls by their soft waist, then using Geppo, he ascended into the sky and disappeared.
