Introduction[]
One of the legendary Saijo O Wazamono swords. This particular blade has a long and violent history. It is said to be one of the first Wazamono blades ever created but the creator themselves remains a mystery.
Appearance[]
The blade's appearance is covered in decoration but this does not stop it being a deadly weapon when it needs to be. The handle is ivory with a dragon made from the same material but coloured green wrapped around the whole handle.The tsuba is made of gold with silver chains down the length of the ebony scabbard. The blade itself is made of a dark almost black metal which gives off a strange shine like a rainbow.
Abilities and Powers[]
Only a few things are known about this particular sword as it has very rarely been used in combat so its capabilities are not fully known. What is known is that it never needs sharpening. The blade appears to remain sharp forever. It is also said to be indestructable but this has yet to be tested fully. There have been rumors that on several occasions the dragon's head on the handle has been seen to move but this has yet to confirmed by any credible witnesses.
History[]
Surprisingly enough it appears that most of this swords existence it has remained in the hands of one family. Only recently after the death of the last member of the family who was the pirate Jack Crawhawk the sword has passed out of the families hands for the first time in 400 years. The Crawhawks's claimed to have owned the sword since it was made but there is no evidence to support this. They claim it has only passed of the hands of the Crawhawk's once in that whole time.. About 400 years before the current era an ancestor of the Crawhawks who at that time possessed the blade was charged with treason by the World Government as was sentenced to death. The sword was placed in the vaults of the Marine Headquarters and was forgotten about for almost a hundred years when a marine who according to family legend was a descendant of the executed man found the sword in the vaults. It is then claimed he stole it and replaced it with a fake and returned it to the family. However none of this can be proved but what is known is that an ancestor of Crawhawk was executed and according to records he did have a sword on him but with the death of the last Crawhawk it is unlikely to proved either way now.
