Chapter 16: First Meeting with Kaido
After a day of iron testing, Arthur and Cooper both passed perfectly.
They had laid a solid foundation in advance, and they learned things very quickly; it had been less than a week since they went to sea and joined the navy.
Six styles: Five styles have been mastered, and the only style left is paper drawing and life return. After he is familiar with the control, Arthur can leave the navy.
……
In the new world of Punk Hazard, an explosion occurred in a laboratory.
The entire building in the center of the island was ablaze with flames covering the sky. Cooper's eagle was wearing a telephone on its head and was hovering in the sky to find out the situation on the island.
On the coast, the warship led by Dorag docked at the seaside.
"Two experimental subjects that the government pays special attention to have escaped. Requesting support, requesting support..."
“How many escaped?”
"what--!"
Dragon was holding an emergency Den Den Mushi and listened to the voice inside for a few seconds before it was forcibly interrupted.
"Has the difficulty of the mission increased again?" He looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand, as if he had become accustomed to such emergencies.
"That's the lightning produced when the Conqueror's Haki is released. Oh no, there are scary guys on this island." Arthur looked at the laboratory building in front of him, which was blazing with flames. From time to time, black and red lightning flashed and crackled.
He recognized it as the domineering aura at a glance, and also sensed that there was a very strong deterrent force slowly approaching from the air.
"Crow, you are seriously injured. Leave 100 soldiers on the warship to guard it." Dorag analyzed for a few seconds and began to calmly formulate a battle plan for his men: "The remaining 2710 people, follow me to investigate the situation on the island."
"Understood, Colonel," Crow agreed. His physique was not very strong.
It is almost impossible to recover from a serious injury in two days.
All the soldiers rushed to the island quickly, fully armed. Arthur had a bad feeling about this mission.
It was less than a week, he couldn't believe that he had completed a mission from the East China Sea to the Grand Line.
Now we have arrived in the new world.
He was even promoted to sergeant!
"What's the situation on the island, Cooper?" Arthur asked while holding the Den Den Mushi that was used to contact Cooper.
"Cooper..." (I feel dizzy, Arthur. I almost fainted when a black and red lightning suddenly appeared in front of my forehead...)
Cooper's tone was very weak, as if his spirit had suffered some kind of blow, making him unconscious at the moment.
"Don't force yourself, Cooper. Come back to me if you feel uncomfortable." Arthur was very worried about its condition. He had never seen Cooper like this before.
"Cooper..." (Two humans are walking towards you, Arthur. I feel dizzy and can't hold on any longer...)
In the sky, Cooper lost his ability to fly as soon as he finished speaking, and fell from the air onto the island entrance road in front of them.
"Cooper..." (So scary... What on earth is on this island...) Cooper was involuntarily filled with fear, and as if it was out of instinct, he wanted to use his wings to climb up.
But I found that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get up.
The invisible deterrent force just now was affecting its entire body, making it limp and powerless.
The eagle's instinctive sharpness and pride completely disappeared from his eyes, and he became an eagle that could be slaughtered at any time.
"Stay there, Cooper, I'll be there soon." Arthur heard the situation on Cooper's side, left the team behind and ran quickly towards the island.
If it weren't for this eagle, Arthur would have gone crazy in this world in the past ten years.
He was very worried about Cooper's safety and the fear in his tone.
The soldiers were simply unable to keep up with his wind-like speed, and he disappeared from the sight of the navy soldiers in less than three seconds.
"Sergeant!"
"Oh my god, how are we supposed to master that speed?"
"Arthur!" Dorag was shocked when he saw Arthur suddenly rushing towards the island at a breakneck speed. "This guy has been restraining himself and hiding his strength all this time?"
Dorag couldn't help but doubt, the speed just now was indeed shocking.
Arthur's light steps made it difficult for him to catch sight of him.
……
On the island, Cooper collapsed on the ground in fear, trying his best to stay sane.
It saw the island in ruins and fire, and the sounds of gunfire and artillery explosions all stopped under the black and red lightning.
Soon, it saw two humans, one short and one tall, rushing out from Punk Hazard.
He is tall and carries a huge mace. He has a pair of horns on his head. He looks like a burly monster with an extraordinary aura.
It was incomparable to any ferocious beast it had ever seen in the mountains and forests.
He is short, with white hair, a strange tattoo on his forehead, and a pair of black wings on his back.
The two men came slowly from the island, as leisurely as if they were strolling in their own back garden, and arrived in front of Cooper and stared at it.
"I'm really shocked, Abel. No animal has ever been able to resist my dominance, but this eagle wearing a navy cap managed to do it."
"This bald eagle has been weakened by your domineering power and is unable to move, Brother Kaido." Abel noticed the Den Den Mushi on Cooper's head and said:
"It seems to understand human language, Brother Kaido."
This made Kaido even more curious. From observing Cooper's facial expression, it seemed that it really understood.
Animals that can withstand the domineering aura are very rare and are almost impossible to find anywhere in the world.
The two tall humans in front of him made Cooper look even more frightened, and even a feeling of despair and suffocation spread throughout his body.
"Hey." Kaido squatted down, smiled and stretched out his hand to Cooper, who was only about one meter tall: "Do you want to be my pet and make trouble in this world with me?"
"Cooper...?" Cooper was stunned, trembling all over, and nodded instinctively.
But the next moment, when Arthur's face appeared in its mind, it immediately shook its head at Kaido to express its rejection.
"Really? Then go to hell." Kaido's face darkened after being rejected, and he slowly put the mace down from his shoulder.
If the other party was a wild bird of prey, Kaido might let it go or lock it up and tame it slowly.
But it was wearing a navy cap on its head, which meant it was raised by someone in the navy.
If he can't be used for his own purposes, he might as well be killed.
"Brother Kaido, be careful!"
Kaido just made a swinging gesture when he suddenly looked up with a vigilant look and saw a figure jumping up in front of him and punching him.
"So fast!" Kaido's nerves were tense, shocked by the speed.
"Hah!" Arthur roared and punched Kaido's mace, knocking him back from Cooper.
Kaido was pushed back several meters by the sudden attack, but soon stabilized himself and showed excitement: "Interesting... A marine wearing slippers?"
"Cooper!" (Arthur!) When Cooper saw Arthur, he shouted happily, and his life was saved.
"Luckily we made it in time. Damn it! If you dare to die early, I will kill you, Cooper!" Arthur held Cooper in his left arm and cursed at him.
Cooper, who was almost killed just now, was scared and cried. Tears flowed from the eyes on both sides of his eagle head as he hugged Arthur.
"Is this eagle yours, little navy brat?" Kaido, who was interested in Cooper, asked him, "How much? Sell me such a humane animal."
He was now shocked both physically and mentally. He had never expected that the experimental subjects who came to transport the PH-006 experimental base were the young teacher Kaido and the future Flame Disaster Jinn.
After calming Cooper down and enabling him to regain the ability to fly, Arthur released him back into the air.
He turned around and faced the two familiar people in front of him, took a deep breath to calm himself down, and smiled: "Priceless, not for sale."
