Chapter 211 Return to Rapeseed Village
After saying this, Robin fell silent.
With his young and frail body, he trained even harder.
Arthur stopped and stood beside her with an expressionless look.
The only regret for him in the O'Hara incident was Olbia, Robin's mother.
"Your mother stayed with me for a few months. That was the most peaceful time I had."
After hearing what Arthur said, Robin suddenly stopped training and stared at Arthur with wide eyes:
"How did you two meet?"
"Fara Island, after I was arrested by the World Government, I was seriously injured and jumped into the sea to escape. I encountered a shipwreck and it was your mother's expedition team that saved me."
Arthur responded to Robin.
It is impossible to forget the final moment when O'Hara's artillery fire overwhelmed Olbia.
I could have rescued him at that time, but I chose not to.
"How did she die?" Robin asked again.
His expression darkened, seeming strong yet a little sad.
"She entrusted you to me seconds before the artillery fire overwhelmed her."
"Oh." After learning the truth about Olbia's death, Robin started training again.
He practiced hard and was so serious that he didn't say anything.
"..." Arthur glanced at her who was practicing hard, "Since I have accepted your entrustment, I will be responsible for you to the end."
"Come on, you need to become a strong person who is superior to ordinary people."
Arthur thought that if Robin was as weak as in the original book.
In the future, many things will require him to solve them personally, which will seriously affect his actions.
"Well...thank you for taking me in, Arthur." Robin responded again.
This compromise reminded him of the memory of Olbia putting aside her dignity to please him.
"There's not much to say about the past. Time can't be reversed. You know what you need to know. Now, lay a good foundation."
"If you have a good talent for swordsmanship, this black sword." Arthur generously pulled out the first generation of Kitetsu and threw it in front of Robin:
"I'll give it to you."
Under the blazing sun, Robin had been training hard under Arthur's supervision and guidance.
The new ship is much larger than Kaido's previous one.
Balcony panels, kitchen, living room, bathroom, warehouse, all furniture are available.
There is also a larger master bedroom, which is where Arthur sleeps.
3 single cabins, used as Robin's room and storage room for sundries.
Stusi was very well prepared, and he didn't take a single cent from him out of 4 million Baileys.
We also prepared a sailboat with sufficient supplies and solid materials, which is suitable for long-term sailing.
The sunset is coming soon.
On the deck, 8-year-old Robin was soaked in sweat and fell asleep on the deck due to exhaustion.
Cooper came up behind Arthur.
Arthur crouched in front of Robin.
They just looked at her quietly.
"Cooper?" (One year old in an eagle is equivalent to eight years old in human form. Arthur, she is still too young. Are you being too mean?)
Hearing Cooper's words behind him, Arthur reached out and held Robin in his arms:
"Maybe, don't say so many heavy words to her. I'll try to restrain myself."
As he spoke, he carried Robin into the corridor of the cabin.
Cabin 1 is Robin's room.
I opened the door and found the room clean and tidy with complete bedding.
There is also a porthole next to the bed, through which you can see the sea and the movement outside the cabin.
Arthur put her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and looked at Robin who was sleeping soundly with a confused mood.
"There is still a part of his personality that has not completely died." After saying this, Arthur turned and left the room.
As soon as he went out, he saw Cooper standing in the corridor, with his wings on his back, staring at him seriously.
"What's wrong?" Arthur asked it.
Cooper habitually put Eagle Head in his arms and clung to him.
"Haha, what a mess..." Arthur smiled and stroked its downy head.
Early the next morning.
Robin woke up in horror in his room, sat upright on the bed, and looked out the window in a cold sweat.
She looked around, everything was peaceful and tranquil.
A tidy room is no longer dirty, and the air is no longer filled with foul smells.
She slapped her face hard and felt a burning pain.
"It hurts so much, that was just a dream..." She got up, washed and dressed, then walked out of the cabin again.
When she reached the deck, she found that the ship was moving at full speed in one direction.
"Observation Haki, start training this Haki, regardless of age."
She suddenly heard Arthur's voice from behind her, and she turned around to see...
She found that Cooper was looking at her with his long eagle neck stretched out, exuding the hostility of a hunter.
And Arthur, standing on the roof, with red eyes, stared at her under the night sky that was about to dawn.
Robin stepped back subconsciously, a little scared.
"If you control this domineering aura, you will be able to sense our murderous intent the moment you exit the hatch."
"Instead of waiting until you turn around, the vision sends danger signals to the brain, and then you feel scared."
There is no age limit for learning Observation Haki, but a certain physical foundation is required.
Arthur thought that Robin could learn while building a good physical foundation.
He can now predict about five seconds into the future.
The battle with O'Hara helped him recover from his injuries and his strength increased a lot.
"I'm still sore all over. Can you... let me sit down and read a book today?"
"..." Arthur was speechless when he heard this, as if he really couldn't train Robin according to his physical standards.
Otherwise Robin might be killed.
"Ku..." Cooper also alertly retracted his aura.
They were stunned. For more than ten years, they had been accustomed to the devilish training method of getting up early and going to bed late.
"Okay, there's no rush. Stussy has prepared a lot of books in my master bedroom. You can read whatever you want."
With that, Arthur walked towards the warehouse.
I got some ingredients and started preparing breakfast.
This kind of relaxed daily life was unimaginable to him when he was framed nine years ago.
Even now, he couldn't forget that past.
"Cooper?" (Arthur, shall we go back to the village? We haven't been back for nearly ten years)
Cooper, who was standing outside the kitchen with Arthur, suddenly suggested.
"Then let's go and take a look?" Arthur also turned his head suddenly to look at Cooper.
They looked at each other and quickly reached a consensus.
To reach the East China Sea via the Grand Route, one must pass by the Gemini Cape Lighthouse.
Fortunately, Krocas was there, and the two could go to him to reminisce about the past.
The sailboat sailed on the sea for about two days——!
Red Earth Continent, Upside Down Mountain, Twin Cape Lighthouse.
"Lab! Stop hitting them. The Rumba Pirates have been destroyed. You have to accept this fact!"
On the lighthouse coast, Krocas shouted loudly into the sea.
There was an earth-shaking noise coming from the seabed below the coast.
Rab fought hard, but it was painful to rebuild the foundation of the red earth continent.
Unable to accept the news brought by Krocus.
"Alas." Krocas tried to persuade for a long time, but when he saw that Lab had no reaction, he covered his forehead weakly.
"Arthur, if this goes on for a long time, it will die."
"Do you want to stop him, doctor?" Arthur, who had just landed on the shore, folded his arms, leaned against the wall of the lighthouse, and said to him.
"Arthur, can you get it from the bottom of the sea for me?" Krocas looked at Arthur:
"I want to give it a new lease of life and stop it from continuing like this."
"Where should we put it after we get it up?" Arthur walked towards the shore and accepted it naturally.
"The open space where you dueled with Rayleigh." Krocas pointed to the spacious open space opposite the lighthouse on Upside Down Mountain.
"That giant whale! How are you going to get it out, Arthur?" Robin was a little curious, watching Arthur and Cooper walk towards the seaside.
There is no way a human could move that gigantic whale, right?
There were no mechanical tools around.
"Let's go, Cooper." Arthur said to Cooper and dived into the seabed.
"Cooper!" (Caught a big fish!) Cooper spread his wings happily and followed him.
"As simple and crude as ever, Arthur..." Krocas broke out in sweat on his forehead upon seeing this.
After about half a minute, the shaking at Gemini Cape stopped.
Under the sea, Lab's huge body of more than 400 meters suddenly surfaced.
Huge waves swept across the coast of Twin Capes.
Krocas' eyes bulged as he looked at the shocking scene in front of him, and he was extremely shocked.
"I didn't ask you to kill it, bastard!"
Cooper grabbed Lab's huge spine with his claws and threw him up from the bottom of the sea with his bare hands.
"Cooper!" (It's so heavy!) Cooper's veins bulged and he used all his strength to spread his wings.
Dump Rab in the open space next to the Twin Point Lighthouse.
Boom! The surroundings shook violently as if an earthquake had occurred.
"Huh..." Arthur jumped out of the water and returned to the shore to take a breath:
"I used my Conqueror's Haki to stun it. It won't wake up for a while."
"..." Krocus and Robin were both stunned and stood still.
It took me a long time to come back to my senses.
Looking at Lab lying in the spacious open space, foaming at the mouth.
"Forget it...just treat it as a dream." Krocus was shocked by Arthur's power.
Whether he was in Roger's pirate group or he is now famous enough to shock the world.
It always shocks this old man who is nearly fifty years old.
"Have you seen Bucky?" Arthur asked Krocas, wringing his wet black robe.
"Baki?" Krocus was very impressed by this name. "He opened a circus in the East China Sea, and planned to make money from it and establish a powerful pirate force in the East China Sea."
Hearing this, he smiled and asked:
"Circus? Where is it?"
"Recently, it should be in the Kingdom of Goa. Many wealthy merchants gather there to avoid these sea wars."
The Kingdom of Goa, isn't this exactly the purpose of Arthur's trip?
"Compared to Shanks, I prefer that noisy, big-mouthed guy." Arthur laughed.
To this day, he still can't forget Bucky's face, which made people laugh.
"Shanks has often been to Upside Down Mountain in recent years, and he has complained to me about what you did to them, Arthur." Krocus recalled the old conversation with Shanks.
Full of fear for Arthur.
"Arthur, you shouldn't treat him like this. After all, he's a junior. It's a bit too much of a bully."
"He wants me to be his subordinate. Do you think it's possible, doctor?"
"Oh, I can't stand your cold attitude."
……
……
Donghai, the capital of the Kingdom of Goa.
In the area where the rich people gathered in the center, in a huge tent.
Bucky sat in the office with a group of subordinates he had just received.
"Listen, remember the face of this man in the newspaper and don't mess with him, even if you go to hell."
Bucky was dressed in a circus clown costume, lying on the table with a look of fear on his face.
"Master Buggy! Our performance is about to begin, what are you talking about!?"
"There are a lot of rich people in this show. Didn't you say you were going to rob them?"
Only after his subordinates reminded him did Bucky come out of his fear of Arthur.
“Yes…yeah, damn it!” Buggy slapped his face.
"That guy is often in the Grand Line and the New World. How could he possibly meet me in the East China Sea?"
Thinking of Arthur far away, Bucky suddenly laughed:
"Hahaha, even if I meet him, I'm not afraid of him!"
His sudden arrogance made his subordinates look at him with contempt.
"I was so scared just now, your expression changed so quickly..."
At this time, he had not yet established his reputation as a terrifying pirate.
He also kept his identity secret and did not take advantage of his status as a member of Roger's pirate group or his influence.
He led a normal life of treasure hunting and running a circus to make money.
"No matter what, the weakest part of the East China Sea is where I started my career. Let's do something big!"
Bucky stood up from his office chair.
He quickly ran to the back of his circus stage and opened the curtain.
Facing the huge crowds of audience, he began his robbery plan.
A few days later——!
In the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Goa, the Rapeseed Village was engulfed in flames.
There were miserable cries like the howling of ghosts and wolves on the island.
"Celestial Dragons? Hahaha, so what! They call themselves gods, but the man was still killed!"
"You guys from the affiliated countries are living such a comfortable life!"
"Get a taste of what it's like to live in a hellish world!"
The flames in the village shot up into the sky, and everyone was ruthlessly burned, killed, and looted.
Offshore, Gion's main ship was approaching at full speed.
"Is that where Arthur grew up, Shani?"
"That's right, Vice Admiral Gion," Shani responded.
"Dock immediately and prepare the soldiers for battle."
Gion was ordered by the navy high command to come and suppress the war in the East China Sea.
It's more to help her adjust her mental state.
It is equivalent to sending a powerful lieutenant general like her to take a vacation in this weakest sea.
Gion's men alone could easily stop it.
The fierce battle in Rapeseed Village lasted a whole day before all the non-member country soldiers attacking the island were defeated.
Another day later——!
It was noon the second day after arriving in Gion.
On the coast of the Rapeseed Village Island, Arthur's sailboat is docked on the coast.
A group of female soldiers, fully armed, were on guard against him.
"Did I ask you to come here and meddle in other people's business?" Arthur glanced at them.
They are all senior female soldiers who have followed Gion for many years.
His body was covered with frostbite and various scars.
"We are just performing official duties, Arthur." Shani led the team and said to Arthur.
"What happened here?" Arthur walked into the village expressionlessly.
It was discovered that there was not a single intact building in the village.
"war."
"These are all navy, Arthur!" Robin followed closely behind Arthur.
He was extremely alert and looked at the female soldiers around him.
Along the way, there were survivors being rescued and corpses all over the ground.
With every step, the cruelty of existence stimulated Robin's brain.
Some of the corpses don't look much like her...
This made her realize that war does not discriminate by age, nor does it show any mercy to any living being.
In the village, many people Arthur was familiar with were ruthlessly killed.
But he remained expressionless and there was no ripple in his heart.
These are not things he cares about.
He looked deep into the island. What he cared about most was that the green forest where he grew up was safe and sound.
"Nostalgia is really stupid..."
……
