Chapter 125 Powerful Challenger
More than a month later, in the town of Torrance, New World.
"Ha, guys like you, do you understand the rules of the underworld?"
"You're not really an undercover agent, are you? Is this a self-torture trick designed by the Navy to capture us?"
"By the way, where's your knife? Where's that shiny knife? It's a treasure."
"Most of the towns on Fara Island were destroyed. I heard that you defeated all the Celestial Dragons?"
"A lot of people dive in that sea just to find that priceless knife, haha."
In the noisy bar, some pirates disguised as civilians drunkenly complained to Arthur at the bar.
Arthur was satisfied with his drink, so he slowly stood up and patted the pirate who complained to him on the shoulder:
"Pay for my drink, or I'll kill you and take it away to pay for it."
When the pirates heard this, they trembled with fear and nodded in agreement.
Complaints are fine, but if we really fight Arthur, everyone on the sea will be afraid, right?
A reward of 10 million for 2 billion Baileys is enough to deter anyone.
Coupled with his bad reputation, no one thought Arthur would not dare to take action.
The town outside the bar, the coast.
The sound of rain is rustling, washing the streets.
Arthur lowered his head, stood in the rain, and came to the shore alone and sat on the shore.
"Why... haven't you come back yet? Don't you have my life card?" What he was thinking about in his heart was still the child in woolen pants who he couldn't let go of.
The woolen pants kid who was raised by him.
He was alone in the rain, looking up at the sky.
There is no news about Cooper's arrest.
He left Roger's pirate group and killed a Celestial Dragon.
He wandered among the islands of the New World.
This period was very peaceful and the navy did not dare to cause trouble for him.
"Where is my knife... again?" Arthur realized deeply.
The consequence of fighting for others is to constantly drag yourself into the abyss.
What I cared about, the important weapon I carried with me, and the friendship were all gone...
But it seems that this ocean is a huge circle of human relationships.
Every time Garp captures Roger, they test each other's latest strength.
Killing?
Arthur saw it only once, at the Battle of Edvard, where his intervention changed the outcome.
But there is also an advantage, which is the power we have now.
It is a height that ordinary people cannot imagine or reach.
Three colors of domineering power, various physical skills, and recovery after a near-death battle can lead to a surge in terror.
If this continues, Arthur won't know when his luck will run out.
It's impossible to survive every time, the enemies are getting stronger and stronger.
At first it was just a major, some cp spy.
What about now? Gradually involving the World Government, the Four Emperors...
Arthur let the rain slide off his fully recovered body.
He enjoyed the feeling of raindrops on his body.
To become a strong person, one must have experienced the pain that ordinary people can endure.
Break away from the control of the Roger Pirates and the protection of their name.
Plus now our strength has increased.
He felt a unique freedom.
"Is the most famous man in recent years so leisurely?" Suddenly, an old man's voice was heard not far away from the town street.
He was holding an umbrella, had pale hair, and was well-dressed, like an aristocrat.
Step by step, gradually approaching Arthur.
Unlike others, Arthur felt threatened by his bared smile and calm demeanor.
Arthur looked in the direction of the voice and focused his gaze on him.
The figure wrapped in darkness gradually emerged.
I saw the tall and thin figure with white hair braided into two braids hanging on her shoulders.
He was wearing a plum-red shirt and blood-red trousers, and black leather shoes with gold rims.
He was wearing a large blood-red cape with a plaid pattern on the inside.
He wore a blue rose around his neck and held a slender bat-handled umbrella in his hand, which was actually a valuable sword.
His eyebrows were red, and he had a gold chain around his mouth. He stood on the street less than ten meters away from Arthur with an evil smile on his face.
"Reid...Field..." Arthur sounded a little surprised when he saw this man appear.
Over the years, Redfield was the man who single-handedly stood on equal footing with the Roger Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, and the Hiku Pirates.
Arthur had doubted him before.
It was not until he saw me that he confirmed that this guy in front of him... was stronger than Roger alone.
There is a feeling among swordsmen that one can tell the difference in strength between the two sides with just one glance.
Arthur instantly became alert and subconsciously reached for the knife at his waist...
But I touched nothing...
"Hmm?" The Red Earl held up his umbrella knife, maintained a noble smile, and looked at the place where Arthur's right hand touched:
"Where is that exquisite knife? Could it be that... you lost it during the incident with the Celestial Dragons on Fara Island?" If that was the case, Redfield would be extremely disappointed.
A swordsman who can lose his own sword is completely unqualified to be a powerful swordsman.
The sword is with the man, but the sword dies and the man dies.
It's so shameful for a swordsman who has lost his sword to still live shamelessly.
"When you face the situation I was in, you won't be talking nonsense as an outsider." Arthur observed Redfield calmly.
There is not a single flaw on his body.
Suddenly, it was like a piercing gaze that penetrated into Arthur's body.
See through all his thoughts.
Seeing Arthur's inner thoughts, Redfield's calm smile disappeared from his face.
"Nothing... fear... fear... nothing..."
"What's wrong with this guy? All he wants is... to kill me?"
"He looks alert, but he's so calm inside... What a joke..."
Redfield, who used his Observation Haki to observe Arthur's inner thoughts, was shocked.
In the past, when the weak were oppressed, they would be surprised and frightened.
However, this time, Redfield did not find any fear of himself in Arthur.
I wanted to kill him instead...
But he soon smiled.
After decades of loneliness, he has spent his entire life pursuing the joy of battle and fighting countless powerful men.
He killed so many men like Arthur... so many that he couldn't even count them.
"How are you going to fight if you lose your sword, swordsman?" Redfield pulled out his parachute knife.
Taking the initiative to challenge Arthur, hunting this kind of supernova is also one of his pleasures.
The main reason is that he is dissatisfied with the title of "The Lone Dragon".
A boy who is only 18 years old can see the world clearly after experiencing such a trivial thing?
Have you seen the ugliness of human nature?
Stop joking, there is no one who can understand things so quickly.
"Why should I fight you?" Feeling the other party's targeted purpose, Arthur slowly lifted up his black robe.
The upper body is naked, so that the arms can be moved more easily for fighting.
"No, this is just a simple hunt." Redfield was not frightened by Arthur's battle wounds, but quickly moved closer to Arthur with a sword in hand.
It was so fast, in a breath.
The blade of the umbrella knife was already close to Arthur's face, ready to kill Arthur with one blow.
Such a terrifying speed took Arthur by surprise.
The quick knife was also what he was best at, but Redfield was the first person who made him feel threatened by speed.
"Did you predict first and crouch down?" Redfield's sword missed, cutting off a strand of black hair.
He looked down at Arthur who was dodging the blade in front of him, and swung a punch at himself swiftly.
"The power of this punch..." Redfield quickly turned around and dodged.
I felt that I couldn't get hit by Arthur, otherwise I would feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Really? Then I have no choice but to regard you as a threat and kill you!" Arthur also gave him a wicked smile.
Now that he is completely free of any constraints and does not need to consider the consequences of fighting, he can just let go and fight.
Feeling Arthur's calm state, he instantly gathered his fighting spirit.
Redfield immediately realized that this battle was different from the previous ones against the minions.
Looking at the blade that suddenly appeared in Arthur's right hand, he was shocked and said, "Armament Haki has materialized? This is the direction of evolution of mutation."
