Chapter 13 Arthur's Blade
The warship crashed into the dock from the air——
Arthur was carrying a box of supplies from another warship that was full of supplies, and was on his way to Dorag's warship.
He saw the pirates who had been defeated and arrested by them last night being escorted to another warship that specialized in transporting prisoners.
He crossed his arms over his chest, and when he saw Arthur passing by, he gave him a very sure and firm expression.
An expression showing a boss having high hopes for his subordinates.
"Uh..." Arthur looked at him with disgust.
Seeing that he was being despised, Dorag immediately cursed: "Asshole, what's that expression on your face? I'm really optimistic about you!"
"Colonel, everyone has his own destiny, and survival of the fittest." After saying that, Arthur left him with the supplies.
"Arthur, what... do you mean?" Dorag retracted the high hopes on his face, feeling that Arthur's mood was a little unusual.
It doesn't seem like the thinking and IQ a 14-year-old should have.
"Nothing, come on, let's go to the next target." Arthur responded to Dragon.
Soon, the warship was fully resupplied, and Dorag personally counted the number of troops remaining to go to the next destination.
Of the 800 people, only 371 were left, including himself.
On the deck, Dorag looked at the document in his hand seriously:
"This number of people is enough to escort the experimental subjects. One trip will only take about two days."
Arthur carried the iron casserole to the deck and began to frantically insert his fingers into it in preparation for finger-gun training.
He had the wrist and finger strength, but when it came to piercing someone's body with one finger, he felt that he really didn't have the ability to do so.
The warship slowly set sail from the Lionheart Island dock——
Arthur, who was poking the iron sand, suddenly looked up and looked at a dark island in the distance.
The island is covered with volcanic rocks, and some hot magma is still bubbling on the ground.
Some black statues in escape postures were not destroyed.
"It's none of my business. What makes me uncomfortable is the values I held before I traveled through time..." Arthur thought to himself and lowered his head silently, not looking at those things and continuing to train.
The sunset, which he had originally thought was very beautiful, now made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Things in this world don't make sense. I'd better throw away all the ideas and concepts in my mind as soon as possible..."
"After you master the Six Styles, you will leave the Navy peacefully!"
Using five fingers to forcefully insert the iron sand, he is now gradually changing himself, thinking that he should do what the person should do and try not to let others think too much.
He struck the iron sand with his fingers faster and faster. The afterglow of the sunset gradually set into the sea, and Arthur's sweat dripped onto the ground and into the sand basin.
His fingers were rubbed to the point of bloody red, making him look more and more frantic.
"Damn it!" Arthur suddenly flew into a rage and kicked over the iron sand in front of him: "Why can't I calm down like usual!"
"Sergeant..."
"Sergeant Arthur..."
When the soldiers learned that Arthur had been promoted five ranks, they all changed the way they addressed him.
"Hmm?" Arthur gritted his teeth and looked at them, exuding murderous aura like a wild beast out of control.
"Uh…it's okay Sergeant, just wanted to ask what's wrong with you?"
"Are you feeling unwell after the battle?"
Arthur quickly regained his composure after hearing the soldiers' greetings. He ignored them.
He cleaned up the iron sand on the deck and took Cooper back to a simple bathroom on the middle deck to take a bath.
"In this age of monsters, I seem to be nothing, Cooper." Arthur poked Cooper's feather, looking upset.
Cooper pointed the feather covered with bubbles at the blade that Arthur kept with him all the time and called out, "Cooper."
(You can use that knife, Arthur.)
Cooper is a smaller bald eagle, ten years old, and the only one who knows Arthur's secret.
The knife on his waist was carried by Arthur when he traveled through time.
I restrain myself because I don't want to kill anyone.
"I don't think it has come to that yet, Cooper." Arthur stopped slapping its back and pulled out the blade from his waist and held it in his hand.
The blade is more than one meter long and is light blue. The patterns on the blade are very beautiful, like snowflakes stacked on it.
It looked like it was of extraordinary quality, but Arthur didn't know what quality it was.
All he knew was that even when he used tons of force to strike the center of the blade, he could only make it bend a tiny bit; it was extremely tough.
It felt heavy and comfortable in Arthur's hand, as if it was tailor-made for him.
"It's too sharp. After the first actual combat on Lionheart Island, I felt that ordinary Haki couldn't withstand its sharpness. When I fight, I will become excited and aroused, and I may even commit manslaughter."
Arthur didn't want to kill anyone, but he did want to kill Apollo last night and he did it.
The black hilt, the black and blue interwoven seams on the handle, the light blue blade, and the snowflake-like patterns on the blade make it obvious at first glance that this is no ordinary item.
Arthur had a feeling that if he sold it at the market price, this one sword would allow him to live a wealthy life in the pirate world.
But that kind of illusory life was not what he pursued when he came into this world.
"Sergeant Arthur, the colonel wants you to come to his office."
On the mid-deck stairs, a soldier shouted to the makeshift bathroom where he was.
"Got it." Arthur immediately retracted the blade and responded.
"Hurry up, Sergeant Arthur, the colonel seems to have an urgent matter that he wants you to discuss." After saying this, the soldier returned to the upper deck.
Arthur still touched his knife and focused on it:
"I haven't named it yet, Cooper. Most of my moves are swordplay, but I feel like I still can't unleash its power..."
Unable to unleash the power of this knife? Suddenly, Cooper remembered the time when he and Arthur were hunting game in the mountains of Rapeseed Village.
Arthur started with his flash step skills and instantly stabbed those delicious beasts, but their whole body suddenly trembled violently.
The streaking edge made it impossible to see its eagle-like reaction.
This is just one of Arthur's two styles of knife fighting.
The other is very slow...
Fast and slow, attack and defense...
Cooper recalled those memories and shuddered again.
"Cool...Cooper..." (Then...Arthur, you'd better...never use it for the rest of your life...) Cooper swallowed and said to Arthur.
With a punch from Bang, Arthur hit it on the eagle's head.
"Are you stupid? I'm about to die, so why should I not use it? Will I let others slaughter me? From the actual combat so far, my martial arts talent is really average. Ten years of accumulated training is just so-so... It's hard for me to even beat the deputy of a pirate with 300 million... "
……
Inside the captain's office cabin of the warship——
"Have we found the truth we are looking for? In early 1490, another non-member country in the North Sea was destroyed just like the Valley of the Gods in the West Sea, and no news was heard of it in the end."
On a quiet night, Dorag and Major Crow are investigating the truth they have been pursuing.
"In the year 1484 of the Sea Circle Calendar, the West Sea Valley of the Gods disappeared. After returning from that naval mission, Vice Admiral Garp was revered as a hero."
No matter how the 17-year-old Dragon asked his father Garp about the Valley of the Gods, he did not get an accurate response from Garp.
"In the 1487th year of the Haiyuan calendar, a non-member country in the South China Sea was destroyed in the same way again, and no news reported what happened."
"At the beginning of the year 1490 in the Haiyuan calendar, which is this year, a non-member country in the North Sea was also destroyed in the sea in the same way."
Major Crow told Dorag all the intelligence and information he had summarized over the years.
He discovered that they all had one thing in common.
That is, every time a non-member country disappears, the Celestial Dragons will form a group and go out in full force for the annual school vacation tour.
Drago analyzed Major Crow's words and asked him:
"Is there something fishy going on here, Crow? I feel like the old man is lying to me, but I want to know where those countries are."
Outside the office cabin door, Arthur, with his hands bandaged, had been with Cooper outside for a long time, listening to them talking about what he knew.
"Are they talking about... the hunting game in which the Celestial Dragons destroy a country every three years?" Arthur was shocked and did not knock on the cabin door. "Could this be a sign that Dragon is leaving the Navy?"
"And then develop your own army and lead a rebellion against the World Government?"
