Chapter 222: Journey to the Kingdom of Goa: Son of Roger

Cooper and Robin were about to leave.

The notorious thugs in the evil town soon blocked the muddy street outside the tavern.

They all looked ferocious, and were not afraid of Arthur's reputation or behavior.

"Oh! It's over!" Bucky thought to himself when he saw this scene, and immediately covered his face and screamed.

Whether it was on the Ol Jaxson, or the reunion now that they had left Roger's protection and were embarking on a solo journey.

Bucky couldn't help but be afraid of this cold-blooded plague god beside him who was unpredictable, unguessable, and unfathomable.

The previous sentence said not to kill people...

Look, one person has been sent flying into the sky and fell to his death, and another person has died from a bullet piercing his body.

After doing all these things, I can still drink until dark as if nothing happened.

The way was blocked by villains and thugs again.

The more Bucky thought about it, the more nervous he became, and he started picking his hair frantically.

"Who in this town is afraid of death? You know that, you idiot."

"Who isn't displaced, homeless, and suffering from the beatings of this cruel society, and only then chooses to be a villain?"

"You can't be a good guy! Now you have to be terrified to be a bad guy. What's the difference between that and being dead!?"

The thugs in the evil town started to make a fuss, holding all kinds of sticks, knives and axes, and looking at Arthur with murderous eyes.

Ordinary people also have dreams.

After waiting for a long time, a great man who can change fate appears.

How could these fearless villains give up this opportunity?

Become famous...? Or become unknown...?

"Everyone is going to die eventually anyway, so we might as well give it a try!"

"There's someone out there in the ocean who's willing to pay a high price for your genes and cells!"

Arthur looked at them coldly and said, "Anyone can say nice things, but once the strength is not equal, all that awaits you is an early death and an early reincarnation!"

Just as Arthur was about to draw his sword, he frowned and saw Robin in front of him with his hands crossed over his chest.

He stopped drawing his sword and watched Robin quietly activate her devil fruit ability.

The Flower-Flower Fruit blooms on every villain's shoulder.

Soon arms grew out and wrapped around their necks.

"What is this? Why are arms suddenly growing out of my body?!"

"Damn it, take these things off!"

The evil town Hunhun and the villains were all surprised, not knowing that their lives were hanging by a thread.

When Robin was about to use her fruit power to try to kill them...

A feeling of weakness passed through her arms.

"There are too many people..." Robin gritted his teeth, looking a little uncomfortable: "I don't have enough strength..."

In the crowd, a gangster pulled out the arm extending from the Flower-Flower Fruit on his shoulder in front of everyone.

The arm shattered on the spot and turned into pink petals floating in the air.

"What are these petals at this hour of night? What kind of magic trick are you performing?"

Cooper glanced at Robin with a sharp gaze, then immediately spread his wings to protect her behind him, and walked towards the crowd:

"Cooper." (You are still too young, little girl. Let me deal with this ignorant villain.)

"Ha...! Ha..." The 8-year-old Robin was so tired that he couldn't breathe anymore. He knelt on the black mud and counted.

There were about thirty adults on the opposite side, and with her current strength, it was too difficult to kill them all at once.

"Is it the Eagle again this time?"

"Such a handsome eagle would be worth more than its 50,000 Bailey bounty if sold at the slave market!"

Arthur yawned and watched everything in front of him quietly.

Things like a newborn calf not fearing a tiger seem to happen everywhere.

Cooper spread his wings and swung them fiercely at the villains and thugs.

Boom! Blood and an explosive airburst fell on the street outside the tavern at the Evil Town dock.

Before the thirty-odd people realized what was happening, they had already flown to the surface of the sea under the dark starry sky.

"So strong..." Robin stared at Cooper's back in amazement and couldn't help but sigh.

Suddenly, Arthur's hand reached over her head from behind and began to touch her:

"Come on, you're still young, it's still a little difficult for you to deal with more than 30 adults at once."

Robin weakly looked up at Arthur and nodded.

Compared to the person in front of you, anyone would be a little afraid, right?

The panic caused by the evil town caused ordinary residents to close their windows and doors, not daring to take a peek at what was happening outside.

Cooper, who had knocked away more than 30 people with one move, returned to Arthur and waved his wings at him fiercely, shouting:

"Cooper!" (I'm warning you, Arthur, you'd better come back soon, don't keep me waiting too long!)

Arthur curled his lips helplessly and responded: "Got it."

After receiving Arthur's answer, Cooper turned around and took Robin with him, hopping towards the beach: "Cooper." (Really, if you make me wait another two years, I won't forgive you... bastard...)

He kept cursing and yelling.

With the previous experience of Arthur disappearing for two years without saying a word, Cooper didn't want to leave him for a moment.

Bucky saw this scene and was so shocked that his face turned pale. He asked, "You are under such strict control by it?!"

Although he couldn't understand it, he could roughly guess that it was yelling at Arthur based on the cursing and complaining tone of Cooper just now.

Arthur raised the corner of his mouth and turned to look at Bucky: "What's wrong? Can't I be left alone?"

"That's a bird of prey, okay? How can it be a human?" Bucky roared.

"Haha." Arthur walked towards the forest behind the evil town and sneered: "In my heart, it is countless times better than humans. You naturally don't understand. Let's go, Bucky."

"By the way, is Shanks okay? I'm still worried...whether that guy who got stabbed by you will have some psychological trauma."

"Who knows? How can I change his psychology?"

"You are so scary, that guy must have left a psychological trauma on you, right?"

"Why do you care so much about him?"

"Nothing..."

On the way to Mount Korpo, Bucky followed Arthur and chatted with him.

Ask a variety of experiences and questions.

There is a bandit force on Mount Korpo.

Name: Dadan Family.

After being caught by Vice Admiral Garp for years of committing evil, he was forcibly settled in the mountains and was not allowed to come down the mountain to disturb the neighbors.

Late at night, lights were still on in one of the larger bandit houses on Mount Korpo.

Inside the house, an orange-haired woman in a white shirt and floral pants was wiping the dirty floor with a rag.

"Huh~ Ace, you little bastard finally fell asleep..." She inadvertently wiped the sweat off her face with the floor rag.

The next second, I felt something was wrong and looked at it for a long time with the rag in my hand.

He suddenly threw the rag in his hand to the floor and cursed in a low voice: "Asshole Karp, why do I have to do something like raising a baby?"

After being angry for a while, she turned her head with a serious expression and looked at the baby sleeping in the cradle beside her.

The baby in the cradle was Ace, Roger's son, who was secretly rescued by Garp on Baterila Island in the South China Sea.

Wow~

It suddenly started raining heavily outside—!

This distracted the woman's attention, and she sighed helplessly:

"Hey, let's take it one step at a time."

After she finished cleaning the hall, she heard someone knocking on the door.

The woman walked toward the door curiously: "Who is knocking on the door so late?"

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Bucky, who was soaked like a drowned chicken, standing outside.

He reluctantly smiled and extended his hand to greet her: "Good evening, is this the bandit Dadan's family?"

“Little kid…? Who are you?” Dadan frowned and looked at Bucky warily and asked.

Bucky awkwardly introduced himself: "I'm Bucky."

The height of Dadan in front of him was about one meter taller than Arthur.

Both Bucky and Arthur acted like little kids in front of her.

"Bucky? Who? An unknown person? I don't know him...!" When Dadan saw that the other party was not a threat and was about to close the door, his eyes suddenly found Arthur behind Bucky.

He was holding a frozen umbrella, looking at her coldly with a faint smile on his face, half of his face exposed.

"Who are you…!"

Dadan's words were like an icy steel needle piercing into Baki's chest.

He suddenly became angry and turned to Arthur and shouted, "Who would believe it, Arthur! Captain Roger's son would be in such a deep mountain!"

Dadan was surprised when he heard the key words.

Then he turned around and looked at the cradle inside the room. Ace, who was woken up by Buggy's yell, was looking bitter and gathering strength.

"Ah~!" The baby-like cry in the house suddenly resounded throughout the Dadan family.

"It's a baby...uh..." Bucky was about to say something when he was suddenly slapped away by Arthur.

Arthur came forward and greeted Dadan very politely: "Hello, we are the remnants of Roger's pirate group, and we are here to see Roger's son."

Arthur's extremely impactful face made Dadan's heart instantly tense.

She didn't know Bucky.

But he definitely recognized the man in front of him who had three claw marks on his left eye and was wearing a black robe with holes and scratches all over it.

"You've got the wrong person...there's no son of Roger here." Dadan said as he was about to close the door and go into the house.

Arthur quickly said, "The baby in the house should be Ace, right?"

Bang! The door was shut tightly.

“Who knows…!?” Dadan’s voice came from inside: “Get out of here quickly, there is nothing you are looking for here.”

With Dadan's coaxing, the crying of the baby in the house soon subsided.

In the forest on a rainy night, only Bucky and Arthur, who were soaked all over, were left standing in the heavy rain.

After a while, Bucky sneezed and looked at Arthur: "It doesn't seem so. What should we do now, Arthur?"

“How about,” Arthur gave Buggy a look: “Stay awake tonight and let me learn more about your devil fruit?”

"Ah? Are you sick? I will get sick in this weather!" Bucky cursed in a low voice so as not to disturb the baby sleeping in the house.

"Don't be so pretentious. Come here and show me the power of your Shattering Fruit." Arthur ignored him and walked towards a nearby big tree.

Bucky had no choice but to do as he said and came to Arthur's side and looked down on him:

"What's so good about this weak devil fruit?"

"The Split Devil Fruit is a parahuman fruit, right?" Arthur patted the tree and said, "Try to split the tree."

"Ah? I can't do that at all. I can only split my body."

"Bucky, even though I'm not a devil fruit user..." Arthur paused, as if he thought he was a devil fruit user.

It's just a contract with the frost demon in the sword, so it's not affected by the sea water.

"Logically speaking, the moment you eat the devil fruit, you should have mastered all the information about that devil fruit, right?" Arthur said to Buggy.

Buggy recalls the moment he accidentally ate the Fracture Fruit:

"Well... it seems that some of my memories were coming back to me, but I immediately fell into the sea."
