Viper Lee - 16
Lee smirked at the obvious ignorance of his partner. "The Shichishito may seem awkward and unwieldy," he agreed, "to those not versed in its usage. I have spent my whole life training to master it, and as a result I can do a lot more with this bad boy than a master swordsman could do with an ordinary blade!"
He pulled it off his back to show Thomas, not really caring that he was fraternizing with the enemy; this was the first time anyone had really shown an interest in his weapon of choice. "It may not look it, but this sword is hundreds of years old! It's made of seastone, so it's had practically no wear or tear since its forging. It's been passed down from Viper to Viper, going all the way back to my ancestor, Viper Alpha! You might have heard of him: Alpha the Slayer, who could cut down armies with a single slash of his blade?"
He blushed, sheathing the sword once more. "I'm... not quite there yet. But I can use the prongs to catch enemy weapons and shatter them, making me pretty much the perfect counter to any swordsman on the seas! It doesn't matter how good you are with a sword if you don't have a sword to use!" He said with a wink.
Once he'd explained his weapon to Thomas, he went to talk to the man's friends, seeming not to notice their suspicion about the blade on his back. "Ha ha! Yeah, what a liar! Guy goes fishing for two weeks without even telling anyone?"
He leaned in amicably. "So, where can I find this guy? I've got something of a personal vested interest in finding out where he was really at! Or is he out "fishing" again?"
