Chapter 2 A Different Way of Living

Arthur returned to the house and checked the box where he had kept his money.

Adding the income from today’s two orders, the total is exactly 10.2 Baileys.

He looked at Bailey in the box, his face covered with black shadows.

"I'll pay the rent tomorrow, and only have 2,000 left..."

At this time, Cooper walked in from outside and gently pushed Arthur with his head from behind, indicating that he was hungry and wanted to eat.

"Damn!" Arthur counted out two thousand Baileys and threw the rest into the box. "If I hadn't been treated as an illegal resident, I wouldn't have been willing to pay double the rent."

The rent was originally 5 berries a month, but because Arthur did not have the national identity registration information of the Kingdom of Goa, the village chief charged him twice as much.

"Come on, Cooper, let's be disciplined after eating!" Arthur sighed and felt relieved.

I caught hundreds of kilograms of game in the mountains early this morning, thinking I could sell more, but bandits made trouble and almost all of it was ruined.

Now there are about 20 to 30 kilograms left, which will serve as his and Cooper's food for today.

With two thousand Baileys in his pocket, Arthur carried the dozens of pounds of meat and washed it in the yard of the thatched hut.

Then we used a grill, built a bonfire and started grilling in the rapeseed field.

In about ten minutes, the tender and juicy game will be roasted.

Arthur and Cooper sat on the ground in the yard, looking at the rapeseed fields in the sun across the fence.

"In the beginning, I chopped down all of this batch, and now it's growing thick and lush again." Arthur thought about his life over the past ten years while eating meat.

It was a boring cycle of hunting and selling game, and madly training one's body, which lasted for ten years.

Now my body has reached the limit of ordinary exercise, and there has been no sign of improvement in half a year.

But he still maintained training, exercise and practice.

In this world where the economic news is reported daily, pirates are attacking and plundering island countries, and wars are ongoing.

Arthur was really afraid that one day he would be killed by some unknown pirates.

However, it should be impossible with the current strength.

Just now at the dock, when he attacked Monkey D. Dragon, he noticed the uneasy expression on Dragon's face.

This is enough to prove that when Arthur faces ordinary people, unless he uses sneak attacks or tricks, almost no one can defeat him.

Arthur looked at Cooper standing beside him and stroked his snow-white eagle head. "Cooper, shouldn't we change our way of living? If we continue like this, there will be no way to improve."

"Cooper..." Cooper happily chewed the barbecue under his claws and nodded to Arthur.

The arrival of Dorag is undoubtedly the beginning of another adventure for Arthur.

He didn't want to join the navy because he knew the plot of One Piece.

However, he wanted to learn the Six Styles of the Navy to add a layer of security to his strength foundation.

This forced him to join the Navy, and now was a good time.

Dragon is here to fight bandits on the island, and Arthur happens to like Luffy, so it's not a bad idea for him to get to know Luffy's father first.

"Be self-disciplined first."

……

That night, the arrival of the navy filled the mountains and forests with the sound of gunfire.

All the bandits in the mountains were wiped out by the navy led by Drago.

It was late at night and Arthur and Cooper returned home from a day of self-discipline. They were both exhausted.

As soon as Arthur opened the gate, he found a familiar figure standing in the yard. He called out tentatively,

"Colonel Dorag?"

Dorag, wearing a cloak of justice, seemed to have been waiting in the compound for a long time.

Arthur is 189cm tall, but when you get close to him you can only look up at him.

"The bandits have all been suppressed. Before I came here, I visited the village chief and learned that you are a guy without identity." Dorag asked politely, seeing that Arthur and the eagle behind him both looked exhausted.

"I wonder what the colonel is doing here?" Arthur walked past him and probably guessed the purpose of Dorag's coming here.

The force with which he punched Dorag during the day was not possessed by an ordinary person, so it was normal for it to attract his attention.

"Perhaps this is the key to a different way of life," Arthur thought. "Join the navy, learn the Six Styles, and then leave. Join, but not really join."

It just so happens that the body I’ve been practicing has reached its limit. If I want to break through again, I must try other methods and options.

Dorag looked at the village chief's house not far from Arthur's house. He was stunned by the beautiful scenery reflected by the lights in the house at night.

He didn't answer Arthur for the time being, pointing to the house in the distance and slowly asking, "At your age, are you living alone watching such scenes of men and women being intimate all day long?"

There were sweet moans coming from the village chief's house, and the intimacy between the two people was really exciting.

Even now, Dorag, who just turned 23, can't resist.

But this was nothing to Arthur, he had long been accustomed to it.

Arthur didn't even glance at the bedroom curtains of the village chief's house not far away. He said to Dorag with a disdainful smile: "I didn't expect that a dignified naval captain would like these things."

Hearing this, Dorag immediately broke down, turned around with a red face and explained to Arthur, "I didn't!"

"You're blushing, Colonel." Arthur smiled and reminded Dorag: "If I were obsessed with fantasies of that kind of thing all day, I wouldn't be training so hard every day to make myself stronger."

"Just spend some Baileys and find a wanton village girl in a tavern, and she'll make me ecstatic."

For a moment, the 23-year-old Dorag felt humiliated and felt that he was not as mature as the 14-year-old boy in front of him.

He coughed twice, pretending to be calm and preparing to respond, but was interrupted by Arthur's teasing words.

Arthur continued, "Drago, you are Vice Admiral Garp's son. He wouldn't have done that kind of thing with you, right?"

After saying this, Arthur couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the power of ten deer kidneys and two testicles is really incredible.

No matter which world it is, it’s always a must-have.

Especially in a world where biological genetic mutations occur, the effect is very quick.

Dorag got anxious and felt a little embarrassed, so he lied immediately: "Asshole! How could I not have done it... did it!"

Seeing that Dorag was getting anxious, Arthur stood in front of him again and whispered teasingly: "Is Colonel Dorag still a virgin?"

The shy look on Dragon's face, which was as red as a bubble teapot, had confirmed that at this stage he had not yet met Luffy's mother.

"Tsk tsk..." Arthur Dorag saw that it was really as he said, and took Cooper back to the house in disbelief.

When Cooper passed by Dorag, he approached him and called out, "Cooper." (Virgin.)

Suffering such a blow to his dignity, Dorag stood alone in Arthur's courtyard for a long time, unable to figure out what was going on.

Until Arthur and Cooper in the house finished their dinner, they looked at him leisurely from the windowsill, picking the meat scraps between their teeth with a toothpick.

"I'm here for only one thing!" Dorag didn't intend to argue too much with Arthur. After all, as a navy, if it weren't for his identity as a navy, he would have beaten Arthur up.

"Ah? What's the matter?" Arthur pretended not to know, but in fact he had already guessed what he was thinking.

Dragon calmed down and said calmly: "Last year, the remnants of the Rocks Pirates that were destroyed in the West Sea God Valley more than 6 years ago began to gather partners and expand their power on the sea."

"This caused the ocean, which had been peaceful for less than six years, to be destroyed by large-scale pirates again, and civilians around the world who were attacked by pirates were left with no hope of survival."

"A new era of turmoil has begun again, and the Navy now lacks the combat power to stop their group of out-of-control monsters. So do you understand why I am here?"

Dorag finished his long speech to Arthur with a serious face, hoping that he could understand that the purpose of his coming here was to recruit him into the navy.

Such terrifying strength, and judging from how exhausted Arthur looked when he returned home just now, Dorag concluded that Arthur was definitely not born with this strength.

It is formed through hard work, which also requires talent.

"Finally!" Arthur clenched his fists, guessing that Dorag wanted to invite him to join the navy: "He took the initiative to invite me, so I don't have to beg him!"

Arthur responded to Dorag's invitation: "I can join, but I have one condition, Colonel Dorag."

"You say." Dorag was a little surprised. He didn't expect Arthur to agree so readily.

"I want to learn the Six Styles of the Navy." Arthur stated his purpose, then picked up Cooper's eagle head and said, "And this guy, he has to join me too!"

"Cooper?!" Cooper was stunned, feeling uncomfortable with Arthur's strength. But he didn't care, thinking that wherever Arthur was, he was home.

At the same time, Cooper can also understand human language.

“Hahahahaha~!” Upon hearing such conditions, Drago laughed heartily. “Don’t worry! With your qualifications, I will personally teach you the Six Styles of the Navy! As for the eagle beside you, it can naturally join the Navy as well.”

After that, Dorag's expression became serious again and he said:

"However, Arthur, you didn't have much time to train after joining the navy. This batch of new recruits trained by Instructor Zefa have already been deployed to the front line."

"There are two incredibly strong guys just like you."

Dragon was not sure whether he was flattering the boy in front of him by saying this.

You have to take a strength test to know.

Arthur's expression froze, and he put his chin in his hands, thinking.

He had to join a battle shortly after training, a matter of life and death? Such conditions made him somewhat worried about his own safety.

But the choice is before him: should he continue his training life on this rapeseed flower island without being able to break through the bottleneck of strength, or should he join the navy and fight against the pirates of the old era?

Soon, Arthur makes a critical choice for his journey through life.

Living lying down on the island can certainly make him live as happily as a god. As long as he wants, the girls in the entire village can give birth to dozens of fat boys for him in less than a year, allowing his descendants to multiply infinitely.

After all, he was not ugly, and even a little handsome. Every time he passed by a tavern, he was teased by the enchanting tavern dancers and felt itchy.

After thinking for about an hour -

Dorag watched Arthur lying on the window, climbing up the eaves, and swinging on Cooper's eagle head.

I went through all the thinking steps, but still couldn't give him an answer.

So, Dorag asked impatiently: "Have you made up your mind?"

"Hey, Colonel, can Eagle learn the Six Styles?" Arthur finally considered his pet and asked Dorag again.

If Cooper can become stronger again, he will have an absolutely loyal partner who will never betray him, so he wants to confirm it.

"From the time it used its wings to resist the strong winds generated by my power during the day, I concluded that this eagle could definitely do it."

"Okay! I will follow you to join the navy, Colonel Dorager. My name is Arthur, please take care of me in the future!" Arthur agreed immediately after hearing that.

However, at this moment, a woman's moaning sound came from the village chief's house nearby.

"Ah~ Village Chief! What happened to you tonight? You're so strong~, I love it!"
