Long Summary
Zoro enters the shop of Ippon-Matsu in order to buy the two swords he is missing. However he has only 100,000 which he borrowed from Nami and cannot afford expensive ones. Ippon-Matsu is not very interested in this broke customer until he notices that he possesses Wado Ichimonji. He starts to bargains with Zoro to buy it at a cheap price until the Kuina looking girl enters into the shop and reveals the true price of the sword, ruining the salesman's hope.

Pissed, he tells Zoro to search in the 50,000 garbage corner, while he complains at the girl on how her new Marine captain Smoker has ruined his business with pirates. While searching, Zoro finds a sword that reveals to have been made by a very skilled master, but Ippon-Matsu sell it off since it is a cursed sword. Interested, Zoro challenges the sword and wins.
