Chapter 167: The tenderness that was noticed, the old friend came

Speaking of her daughter, Olbia's expression became serious, and the delicious food made by Arthur no longer tasted good in her mouth.

She looked at Arthur with tears in her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, Arthur noticed her emotions and interrupted her:

"Shut up or jump into the sea and swim back!"

Olbia immediately frowned and responded:

"I haven't said what it is yet... I just blame myself. I never thought that this incident would have such serious consequences."

Faced with such words, Arthur simply made himself breakfast and walked out onto the deck with the bowl.

Looking at the exhausted marines on the deck and the holes in the sails, he kicked them all into the sea one by one.

"You!" Olbia asked in confusion when she saw this scene, "You will kill them like this."

"Ah?" Arthur glanced at her calmly and said with a contemptuous smile: "They are prisoners, aren't they meant to be killed?"

Olbia was stunned.

Staring at Arthur's cold eyes that seemed indifferent to everything and yet calm, I couldn't help but feel panic and fear in my heart.

She looked down at the plate in her hand. She didn't know when, for a moment, she actually thought of Arthur as a gentle guy.

But now, the other party kills without blinking an eye, without even any emotion...

The marines who fell into the sea were forcibly awakened and struggled to the surface.

The boat was getting farther and farther away, and Arthur finished his breakfast. When he passed the kitchen door, he glanced at Olbia and said:

"Do you think I'm a saint? They hurt me so badly, and I should show them mercy?"

"But everyone is different. They may have families..." As she spoke, Olbia was suddenly grabbed by the neck by Arthur, and was lifted up with bare hands and pressed against the wooden board of the cabin door.

Olbia stared into Arthur's dark eyes, as if being stared at by the god of death, and began to tremble all over.

As if he realized that he had said something that Arthur didn't like.

"They fired at me and tried to kill me." Arthur responded calmly, "You are now being detained and attacked by the navy, and you are speaking for them to disgust me?"

Cooper squatted indifferently on the eaves of the cabin, looking down at Olbia below with his head down, without any sympathy in his heart.

"Are you clear about your position? Are you a navy?" Arthur said, loosening his hand.

He squeezed very loosely, otherwise Olbia's neck would be crushed like tofu.

“Cough cough…!” Olbia, who fell onto the deck, covered her neck and started coughing violently: “I… I’m sorry, I said the wrong thing.”

After these years at sea, Olbia got to know Arthur very well.

A man who often appears in the Navy and World Economic Daily.

Naturally, there is some unknown deep hatred for the Navy.

"Be careful what you say." Arthur returned to the kitchen, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and came out to face Olbia: "There are only two of us on this ship. If I do something to you, no one will know."

"And your fragile spirit will be shattered in an instant by my twisted torture."

Olbia felt that it didn't sound like a threat, but more like a calm warning.

If the other person said this in an emotional state, it might not be so scary.

But Arthur maintained a calm attitude throughout the entire conversation, including when he was pinching her neck.

Often these people are the most terrifying...and the most unfathomable.

This sense of déjà vu gave Olbia's first thought, which was to escape from this place, escape from this seemingly harmless boat.

"Are we about to find our target, Cooper?" Arthur jumped onto the roof of the cabin, squatted on tiptoe beside Cooper and asked.

Cooper shook his head and looked around at the sea.

Apart from some fishing boats, there was no sign of any pirate ships.

"Really? I heard that Whitebeard was able to defeat him head-on in the Grand Line, which means he would have surpassed Roger." Arthur said.

Following the codes among pirates and seeking out various powerful men to duel with is also what he has to do now.

"Cooper..." (Arthur, you'd better take care of your body. Ten years of fighting have left scars on you...)

Cooper, who studied medicine with Krocas, was concerned about Arthur's health.

Arthur patted the eagle on the head, stroked it with a smile and said, "I know, I know."

The gentle smile shown in front of Cooper stunned Olbia, who was looking up at the two of them on the deck.

Arthur froze when he noticed her gaze.

"You... smile so gently?" Olbia praised subconsciously: "You are quite handsome..."

"Throw her down with you!" Arthur regained his indifference and rushed towards her like a madman: "Who the hell are you!?"

However, Cooper quickly hugged him with his wings and reminded him, "Cooper!" (She saved our lives, Arthur)

"I... didn't see anything..." Olbia retracted her gaze and looked at the unwashed dishes in the kitchen: "I'll go wash the dishes and help you do something."

After calming Arthur down, Cooper continued to look around at the endless blue sea.

After a while, a warship was seen approaching this side at a very fast speed.

The bow of the warship is shaped like a red lotus dog's head.

At the bow of the warship, a man wearing a gray sweatshirt, a hat and a navy cap is holding a life card and looking into the distance.

"Uh..." The cold-blooded vice admiral was startled when he saw the figure on the opponent's deck.

His eyes widened as he confirmed the person in front of him, dressed in a black robe and sitting cross-legged next to an eagle.

"Arthur?" The person who came was Sakaski, and after confirming that the person on the small boat in the distance was Arthur.

He turned and walked towards a deck chair and ordered, "Everyone, be prepared for battle. No one is allowed to fire without my order."

Coming to a lounge chair, Sakaski stared at a man named Jonathan sitting on the chair.

Jonathan: Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, promoted at the same time as Sakaski.

Currently, the Navy's top brass is preparing to send him to the G-8 base to serve as the base commander.

Before that, Jonathan asked for some time off before taking office.

In fact, it was to avoid the control of his wife, Jessica.

"Hmm?" Jonathan took off his sunglasses and asked Sakaski in front of him, "What's wrong? Sakaski, you look a little serious."

"Is my samurai sword still in the storage on the lower deck?" Sakaski asked him.

Jonathan was shocked: "What? You don't need a knife anymore?"

"We are in trouble, Jonathan." Sakaski continued to say to him, "That Arthur is floating in the sea ahead, about 200 meters away."

"What did you say!" Jonathan was shocked when he heard this. He immediately stood up and ran to the bow and snatched the telescope from a sailor.

Soon, he used the telescope to discover a small boat on the sea in front of the warship.

"He has discovered us..." Jonathan looked through the telescope and saw that Arthur's eyes on the small boat had been locked on the warship.

"What a domineering guy, brother. I came to vacation with you, and you brought me here to die!" He cursed loudly at Sakaski.

Sakaski found the samurai sword he had used many years ago on the bottom deck.

He came to Jonathan with his back to him and stared at Arthur in the distance with the same seriousness: "I don't seem to feel the hostile aura from him as before."

When the crisis came, the soldiers on the entire warship prepared themselves quickly as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

"Uh..." Jonathan looked at Sakaski carefully and said, "It seems that you are exactly the same as when we were bounty hunters more than ten years ago..."
