Chapter 115: Totland: The Supreme Power Sends Out Troops, Arthur vs. Katakuri

New World G-5 Base.

The Navy's chief instructor, Zephyr, was sent here to serve as the base commander and was tasked with training troublesome soldiers.

It is only natural that this has become a good place for Zefa to train new talents.

"If you don't want to practice, that guy won't just seriously injure you with one blow next time!"

"That guy is so talented that no matter what moves I teach him, he mastered them all within a day. He's different from you incompetent weaklings!"

"You have no chance of dealing with him unless you try your best."

On the training ground, Zefa scolded his disciples who had just woken up from the hospital, their bodies covered in bandages.

They were all colonels who were dragged and hacked to pieces during the Battle of Edwo.

After the reprimand, Zefa looked at the "World Economic Daily" in his hand with disdain and said angrily:

"What's so famous... What's so immortal... If you hadn't had evil ideas, that guy might still be a navy!"

From an admiral to an instructor, Arthur is the most terrifying genius Zephyr has ever met.

In terms of comprehension ability, even after several years, no one can surpass him.

"What Four Emperors... all those titles are nothing but flattery from the government..."

Although he lost his general, he was unable to participate in government events.

Zefa's brain is still clear and he can analyze it.

The so-called Four Emperors, the top pirates, are nothing more than the World Government and the Celestial Dragons trying to reduce their own losses.

The policy of constantly praising and killing pirates and letting them kill each other.

However, those pirates whose status was constantly improved were climbing up like crazy.

He crawled to the feet of the Four Emperors and had his pirate dream ruthlessly crushed.

……

Red Harbor Pier.

In the luxurious cabin of a government warship, there is a red-haired man with curly hair like a red pepper.

He was sitting opposite an old man with sideburns who looked like a cow ghost and was tasting high-end tea.

The old man was none other than Saint Jaygolucia Satan, one of the Five Elder Stars.

One of the highest authorities in world government.

"Garlin, I called you here this time for a purpose. I want you to join me in stopping Roger's pirate group from continuing their voyage." He said to the red-haired man in front of him.

"Mr. Satan, is it about the main history of Roger's Pirate Group?" Garin Sheng knew it without thinking.

People of his status have been mobilized, and there is nothing else to do except the matters concerning the Roger Pirates and Golden Lion.

Obviously, the Golden Lion was defined as the hero who suffered the most serious losses in the Battle of Edwo.

Naturally, there can be no major moves in a short period of time.

Besides, Shi Ji himself was seriously injured and needed to spend a lot of time recovering.

It can only be about Roger's pirate group exploring the true text of history.

"It's good that you understand, but there is one more thing, about the O'Hara scholar expedition team." Satan said to Garin: "Tianzheng should have given you the investigation documents."

"O'Hara Scholars?" Garin pondered. "Formed by Nicole Olbia to search for information on the forbidden truth?"

"According to the intelligence source, O'Hara scholars have been able to decipher the text of the historical text. We must send people to arrest them and put an end to their behavior." Satan's tone suddenly became murderous:

"If the news of Roger's pirate group entering the West Sea reaches us, we must make O'Hara disappear from this world at all costs."

“Even if he finds all the red road signs, he won’t be able to decipher the words on them… and the things Joyboy left behind can’t be found either.”

As the contemporary leader of the Knights of God, Garin was slightly surprised when he heard the name Joey Boy.

As a knight who protects the Celestial Dragons, he knows a little about their history.

"Joey Boy was the number one enemy of the World Government eight hundred years ago and almost overthrew theocracy... Really, that's it." Garin quickly analyzed the pros and cons.

The final island that has not been visited by anyone for eight hundred years.

It may well contain the secrets of a vast kingdom and the dark side of the government's past.

If the information is leaked to the member states and the world, the world may indeed be overturned.

"Let's go, we're going to chase the Roger Pirates and ask the navy to assist." Garin Saint let the warship go out to sea: "I will send a knight to arrest the O'Hara expedition team."

The Roger Pirates are about to obtain the third red signpost...

The government attaches great importance to this and has threatened to send troops to the world to give the world an answer.

……

Liqueur Island town center.

The front desk of the tavern where Arthur is.

"Open a booth." Arthur took out a few coins and slapped them on the front desk.

"Inside, booth number 8 is still empty." The staff member at the front desk said, seeming to be busy with some work.

After hearing this, Arthur took Cooper to booth No. 8.

The staff member stood up and found that there were only a few hundred Baileys of coins on the table. He hurriedly looked at Arthur's back and said, "Alas, you don't have enough money..."

Snapped!

Katakuri entered the tavern and slammed a stack of money on the front desk.

"Minister of Flour...why are you here?" The staff was startled.

"I'll treat him to that table."

"Yes!"

When Arthur heard the noise, he turned around and looked at Katakuri, his mouth twitching.

Ever since he joined Roger's pirate group, he has had very little money left.

Even though he was so poor that his clothes were moldy, he still worked hard to fulfill Roger's dream.

Although I didn't complain on the surface, I was always distressed in my heart.

"Coober?" (We don't know him, why would he invite us) Cooper looked at Katakuri and muttered softly.

"Let's go, Cooper, booth 8."

They came to booth number eight and as soon as they sat down, a waitress served them drinks.

Smelling the rich aroma of the wine, Arthur took out two or three bottles and placed them beside him, and pushed the rest in front of Cooper.

"I don't think I know you, what do you want to do?" After sitting down, Arthur opened the bottle of wine and asked Katakuri who was approaching.

He actually knew him, but this was the first time he saw this Katakuri.

Katakuri now seems to be a teenager in his twenties, a little more immature than in Arthur's memory.

Arthur concentrated his mind, observing the every move of everyone around him, which became extremely slow.

He can turn this power on and off freely without any restrictions at all.

But there is a disadvantage, which is that you will feel dizzy for a short time if you use it for a long time.

"Just out of curiosity, what makes you as famous as Roger, Golden Lion, and Whitebeard?"

Arthur, who had no idea what Katakuri was saying, frowned in shock.

"Equally famous? Me?" Arthur was puzzled, having never thought about these things.

The only thing he cares about is growth in strength.

"It seems you don't understand anything. The news has been out for several days." Katakuri slammed the newspaper on the table.

Roger's arrogance made headlines.

Going down, there are photos of all the members of Roger's pirate group.

There is a larger photo close to Roger's.

It was the image of Arthur, shirtless, dressed in black, standing on the bow of the Ol Jaxson with a sword in hand.

The bloody wounds were specially treated, but just looking at the photos was like looking at a monster...

A static picture of blood dripping from the body.

"A vortex of the times standing shoulder to shoulder with legends... A legendary newcomer defeats a large fleet of flying ships alone..." Arthur looked down upon the shocking descriptions under his own photo.

"Actually, this is all too exaggerated." Arthur said to Katakuri after reading it.

"What do you mean?"

"It's just empty words and reputation," he explained the situation to Katakuri.

And looking at the other person, in his mind, the man in front of him had the observation Haki... which could predict the future.

It shouldn't be weak now, right?

"You are the eldest son of the Big Mom Pirates who is rumored to have never been defeated, right?" Arthur suddenly gave Katakuri a knowing smile with a cold expression.

"You can think so." Katakuri responded to Arthur: "The purpose of my coming here is also to compete with you to see who is stronger!"

"Uh…"

"Ugh…"

The guests in the tavern who heard the two people talking were shocked.

If Arthur agreed.

That is, Roger Pirates' Extreme Swordsman vs. Totland's Undefeated Legend...

"Compare? If you want to compete, you need to have the capital. What do you have to compete with me?" Arthur looked at Katakuri.

I think, since he is a minister now, he should be very rich, right?

Wouldn't it be a good opportunity to make some money and make your life better?

"As long as you win, I will accept any request you make, but if you lose, you have to announce to the sea that you have been defeated by me, that's all." Katakuri stated the conditions.

Hearing such conditions, Arthur smiled faintly: "Okay. Cooper drinks here, tell the bartender to arrange two beauties for him to serve him well."

"Uh...I understand...I understand..." The tavern owner heard it and hurriedly agreed.

Arthur stood up and said to Katakuri: "I'm not familiar with this place, please take me to the duel location."

"Brulee, take us to the mirror world." Katakuri said.

Outside the tavern, Brulee brought in the mirror she had prepared in advance with her bare hands.

Activate the ability of the Mirror Fruit to create a teleportation channel in the mirror.

"Let's go, Roger Pirates, Arthur." Katakuri stepped in and half of his body was sucked directly into the mirror.

Arthur, alert, suddenly asked, "The mirror world? What would happen if you went in and left me alone in there?"

"You will be locked in there forever and will never be able to come out for the rest of your life." Brulee suddenly threatened.

"That kind of thing will not happen, and I am definitely not a villain who would do such a thing." Katakuri said.

I think Arthur is being overly alert.

But it's normal to have such concerns...

Arthur's brain thought quickly, and after analyzing Katakuri's personality, he followed him.

Suddenly stepped into the mirror world.

Entering the mirror world, Arthur quickly looked around. Except for the mirrors on the walls, it was a completely enclosed space.

"Let's get started. Nothing that happens in here will be known to the outside world." Katakuri said.

"So that's how it is. The reason why Big Mom's pirate group is so powerful is not just because of her... but also because of her children who have all kinds of terrible devil fruit abilities." He thought to himself.

He forced himself to calm down and quickly became alert for combat.

Brulee looked in the mirror beside her, feeling a little worried.

"I forgot to tell you that I am the user of the Mochi Mochi Fruit. There are no restrictions in this battle. You can use a knife, domineering, or any other means to defeat me and you will win!"

Katakuri said this as a large amount of white glutinous rice split from his body.

The sticky rice turned into a fist and attacked Arthur.

"Let me see what power you have to earn such a reputation."

Glutinous Rice swung his fist quickly towards Arthur.

It was like a storm, which he dodged by turning around.

In Arthur's vision, Katakuri's fist was slow enough for him to dodge easily.

"What's going on? Has his Observation Haki lost its effect?" Katakuri was a little shocked when he saw this, thinking, "I can always predict his next move, but he can dodge my sticky fist?"

The gap was revealed in the moment of the fight.

Katakuri's proud fist was ruthlessly dodged by Arthur, which dealt a heavy blow to his self-esteem.

This made him stop his torrential bombardment of glutinous rice fists.

The sticky rice returned to his body. With sweat on his forehead, he stared at Arthur in front of him, warming up on the spot and jumping up with his fists clenched.

"This is really terrifying, the direction of this observation Haki's evolution." Arthur muttered to himself, and he was also shocked by such power: "Not only can it allow me to do it with ease, but it can also see the gap between the two."

Slow motion, strong and weak detection.

This test made him convinced of a pattern.

1. As long as the opponent is weaker than you, the more you use this observation color to look at the opponent, the more obviously his movements will slow down.

2. If the opponent is stronger than you, or the two are evenly matched, this effect will not occur in a short period of time. Once the opponent consumes more energy than you, the action may slow down.

The second one was derived from Arthur's own theoretical analysis and has not yet been put into practice.

"What are you doing? What did your observation Haki see? You're not trying to say that you can see through my attacks?" Katakuri felt a sense of powerlessness.

He was somewhat annoyed by Arthur's non-serious attitude towards the duel.

I feel like the other person doesn't respect me.

"Perhaps you haven't grown enough now, or perhaps I have become stronger after the Battle of Edwo. Don't get me wrong, I am taking the duel with you very seriously." Arthur saw that he had some negative emotions and explained hurriedly.

After the warm-up, Arthur clenched his fists and looked at him: "Let's have a happy fight, and don't worry about the injuries under these bandages on my body. I won't make any excuses."

Katakuri felt a cold sweat on his forehead from hearing Arthur's answer.

He analyzed very rationally and realized that the opponent's observation Haki had crushed him.

Then... Armament Haki shouldn't happen.

"Horned rice cake..." He used the power of the Mochi-Mochi fruit to transform his hands into strips of rice cake.

He then used his Armament Haki to harden his strength, rushed forward and punched Arthur.

"Don't you plan to avoid me?" Katakuri narrowed his eyes and saw Arthur standing there waiting for him to approach. He thought, "This guy..."

"Hah!" Seeing Katakuri's fist approaching, Arthur shouted and punched out.

boom!

The fists collided, and a violent shock wave spread in all directions.

"Kadomochi's domineering punch was... taken..." Katakuri increased his strength upon seeing this.

It can be seen that the arm bones seem unable to move towards Arthur at all.

It's like it's sealed.

When this situation occurred, the only thing he could think of was the suppression of both his Armament Haki and his physical body.

"You are quite calm." Arthur observed his breath and knocked him back with a punch.

The enormous brute force caused Katakuri's body to be out of control. He was blown into the air and smashed into the wall of the mirror world.

Boom, with a loud noise like thunder, a huge hole was smashed into the wall.

Katakuri's body got stuck in it, but he quickly pulled his limbs out and stood up again.

His body was hit by the Armament Haki, causing blood to flow from the corner of his mouth. He slowly took off his shirt, took a boxing stance, and asked:

"What happened to that strength just now... Where did you get so much strength from your skinny body?"

"I have a special physique. At least my life is blessed in this respect." Arthur responded to Katakuri.

It seems like it has been a long time since I have experienced this kind of duel and explored my opponent's preferences.

Since we went to sea, we have been fighting, struggling and desperately.

"Your life? Haha..." Katakuri smiled affirmatively: "I have to admit that for someone to have such powerful strength, there must have been a difficult journey behind it!"
