Katana (刀) is a traditional Japanese sword.
Description[]
Katanas were introduced into the New World by the Eight Greed Kings around five hundred years ago. To this day, they are looked upon as a popular item sought out by many warriors. The only place they are forged and produced is located in the fallen capital of the Eight Greed King's empire, Eryuentiu.
Appearance[]
Their appearance is exactly the same as the World of 2138's counterparts, with the standard long but thin blade and same standard hilt design.
Abilities[]
