Chapter 316 The Man Who Lost Everything
Arthur returned to the Sabaody Archipelago late at night, several hours later than Rayleigh and Arlo.
What happened in these few hours was far beyond his understanding and expectations.
The other seven members of the Inquisition landed on the island and had a fierce battle with the organization founded by Arthur.
Faced with the government's liquidation, many people with demonic abilities died one after another.
Among them are some people Arthur cares about, and the bald eagle with whom Arthur has the deepest bond.
With Kake's ability to control the earth, all the islands in the Sabaody Archipelago are connected into one piece.
Forming a huge super flat island.
The buildings and the Yarqiman mangroves are buried deep under the soil.
People's blood poured onto the earth, and the smell of blood spread throughout the air.
Deep inside the island, in the central battle zone.
The ground is full of potholes of different sizes, all of which are traces left by the battle.
"Such a ferocious swordsmanship, yet he has such a lovely face."
Junzi grabbed Yana's bruised collar and spoke as he controlled three arrows to pierce her body.
They are the abdomen, xiphoid process, and chest.
Yana tightly held the first generation of Kitetsu given to her by Arthur.
"Have you heard the story about Uncle Cooper and Dad?"
Junzi was surprised and couldn't understand Yana's ridiculous words.
At this time, with so many people around her being killed, why can this little girl still say such words?
In Junzi's eyes, she should appear very frightened and afraid of the power of the World Government.
But in the blink of an eye, almost all the members of the Inquisition who subsequently participated in the War of the Sabaody Archipelago were killed.
The organization founded by the Ice Sword Master alone is enough to severely damage the strongest shield of the Celestial Dragons.
"It seems you don't know..." Yana glanced not far away.
On an Argiman mangrove tree sunk into the soil.
A very deep groove was smashed into the tree trunk, and a bloody woman was stuck inside.
It was her mother, Gion Momotsuki.
There was no more movement.
"When I was very young...Pfft..." Yana was about to speak, but Junzi seemed very impatient.
He controlled the fourth arrow and pierced her chest again.
Yana lowered her head immediately, blood gushing out of her mouth.
In less than two seconds, she raised her head firmly and looked at Junzi:
“When I was a kid, my mom often told me stories about my dad and Uncle Cooper.
If the nine of you work together to kill it, what will happen when Dad comes back?
My mother said that Uncle Cooper is my father's only spiritual support in this world.
The feelings between them are deeper than any family relationship."
Junzi stood there with his eyes wide open, just staring at Yana.
He couldn't understand why the other party could still speak so calmly even though he had suffered such a fatal injury.
The corners of Yana's mouth were covered with blood, and she looked at Junzi with determined eyes.
"War is war, let alone friendship and bonds. The laziness of the descendants of pirates is really hilarious.
Do you think Lord Shamrock will lose?
Your father will never come back and will only sink to the bottom of Marinford."
As Junzi finished her words, she suddenly looked towards the distance on the island and saw a column of red light rising into the sky.
Suddenly, he frowned.
"Conqueror's Haki? This terrifying and this large, whose Haki is it?"
Before she could react, a bolt of lightning suddenly rushed in front of her.
Knock her away from Yana, and also remove the arrows from Yana's body.
"Long ears!" Yana shouted at him as she watched Lightning gradually turn into Enel.
"The island has changed... the Qinghai people... there are so many powerful beings."
Enelu looked around and saw a man in a navy uniform.
He was fighting with a man with a ferocious appearance and muscular body.
"No...no...Mom, wake up...let's go home...go home...!"
Yana, who was untied, stood behind Yaluo and looked at his grief.
This brother was pretty much the same as she had imagined, but he seemed very weak.
Having received the correct military education, Yana is much stronger than she appears.
She walked towards Gion and came under the red Alchiman tree.
She choked with sobs as she looked at Gion, who was motionless in the tree trunk.
And the Kimpila, which she was holding tightly in her hand, had been broken into two halves during the battle.
"So this is war, Mom, don't leave me..."
Yana could hardly suppress her grief and cried like a weak little girl.
He didn't care about the injuries at all, because they would be healed in about two days.
Walking from outside the island to inside, Arthur looked around carefully along the way.
Corpses, bloody corpses, piled in the soil.
The supernova that was defeated by the Three Calamities and Three Stars took advantage of the arrival of the World Government's new combat power to escape from the conflict with the Ice Blade Organization.
Along the way, Arthur saw many familiar corpses.
Three Plagues:
Jhin Abel.
Quinn.
Jack.
Samsung:
Katakuri.
Cracker.
Smoothie.
All died in battle, no chance of survival.
There were also about seven government personnel, shirtless, lying in the muddy pit.
There is no breath of life.
They all have one thing in common: they all have the symbol of the World Government tattooed on their bodies.
Yana felt the powerful domineering aura getting closer and closer, and even stood next to her at that moment.
She turned her head and saw Arthur, who was radiating domineering aura.
With one hand she held the Yarchiman mangrove tree in front of her, but she side-glanced at the lifeless Gion in the trunk.
"Hmm..." Arthur took a deep breath and recalled the good memories he had with Gion.
Then he reached out and touched Yana's shoulder, and instantly, the power of extreme ice penetrated her whole body.
"Dad... Mom and Cooper... died in battle to protect us..."
Freeze the injuries inside and outside the body so that blood no longer flows out.
"Where...?" When Arthur heard his daughter's voice, his heart suddenly felt like it was hit by a strong shock. It hurt so much and started beating wildly.
From the outside, one could clearly see that Arthur's chest was shaking violently.
His expression froze, and the domineering flames stopped flowing.
He doesn't care about anyone. He can have a woman again and children are just an accident.
The eagle that has been with him until now and has been serving him loyally must not get into any harm.
Cooper has his bloodline and strength comparable to that of a general.
How come I can’t feel the breath?
"Impossible!" Arthur shouted at Yana in a trembling voice, then walked forward to continue searching.
“This is not a primeval forest, this is a huge plain!
If you want to play hide-and-seek with me, you should tell me in advance!"
Arthur's mind was almost going crazy and gradually going out of control.
Becoming totally uncontrollable.
"How could it die? I told it that if it can't win a battle, just run away.
It has always listened to me and will not foolishly fight the enemy to death, right?"
But as Arthur gradually searched, he finally knelt in front of the corpse of an eagle over three meters long with feathers dyed blood.
Only then did it recognize the reality.
Cooper's body was laid before him, his coagulated blood so solid that even the rain could not penetrate or wash away it.
Its wings were broken, its body was stiff, and it lay there motionless.
His entire body was covered with tiny holes caused by something piercing through it.
Arthur had thought of this price, but he had never thought that there would not even be a farewell.
An unprecedented feeling of misery, fear and terror rushed into every cell of Arthur's body.
His limbs and even his entire body began to tremble violently.
"Uh…"
"what…"
Arthur let out a low, mournful cry from his throat and stabbed the ice dragon into the soil beside him.
Just like the first time I encountered it in the jungle, I tried to touch it, but I couldn't feel any warmth.
Arthur has persisted alone for decades and has never cried until now.
At this moment, he suddenly choked up and burst into tears, kneeling in front of Cooper and gradually began to cry towards the sky.
"Is this the first time he... cries? Just for this guy who used to be a bully in the village."
Counting the Ice Dragon, it seems that Cooper has been with Arthur for forty years.
The only thing they do normally is quarreling and fighting.
The only one who allowed him to live like an ordinary person was Cooper.
This kind of pain seems to be so deep that even if you are watching from the side, you can feel the pain in Arthur's heart at this moment.
At this moment, he didn't care who he was, nor did he care about his identity, experience, or story.
Only the sound of crying mixed with the sound of rain expressed his pain.
this day.
Stuth was killed in battle.
Died in the battle of Gion.
Vice Admiral Tsuru was also considered a traitor and executed by the inquisition.
Golden Lion Shiki died in battle.
Cooper died in battle to protect Arthur's children.
Rayleigh was seriously injured and close to death.
At this moment, Kake was fighting fiercely against a burly guy with a knife for Gion.
The Ice Blade Organization was completely slaughtered by the nine members of the Judgment Group that descended on the Sabaody Archipelago.
The battle lasted a whole day, with both sides suffering losses.
Boom! A long black arrow suddenly came from a distance at high speed.
It hit Arthur's body directly and was blocked by a snowflake-like ice crystal shield.
"Why are you here? Where is Lord Shamrock?"
Junzi questioned Arthur, not believing that he could appear alive.
All he got was Arthur's heart-wrenching cry.
For now, there has been no response from him.
Yaluo held Stussy in his arms and looked at Arthur in disbelief as he cried loudly.
Such a cold-blooded person actually has such emotions
After a while, Arthur's crying quickly stopped.
He knelt on the sodden soil, his hands resting on Cooper's body.
“The world doesn’t actually know, we didn’t do anything wrong.
Those countries, those people!!!
They only believe in slander, put themselves in other people's shoes, and blindly follow the trend.
Follow the storms of the great era, follow the charges that make us take the blame for no reason.
Come and insult us and slander us!
They regard us as the biggest hunting target and we are not liked by anyone.
Arthur children who do not know what death is.
From the moment we are born, we are given the most evil title in our minds.
They succeeded.
They succeeded… wooooaaaaahhh!
They will pay for this with their lives!!!"
Arthur used the power of extreme ice to freeze Cooper's body.
He picked up the ice dragon again and put it back into the soul cage, then looked directly at Junzi with murderous eyes.
"You were the one who poked those holes in Cooper's body, right?" Arthur instantly disappeared into the air and came to Junzi's side.
The speed was so fast that she couldn't react at all.
Before she could notice Arthur's attack, he grabbed her neck with his bare hands and held her in front of him coldly.
"When..." Junzi was strangled by Arthur and struggled hard.
"You don't look like a clone, do you? You are a living person with consciousness, right?
Isn't it different from that guy over there who only knows how to fight but has no soul?"
"Let me go... cough..." Junzi wanted to use his ability to resist, but found that he could not use the devil fruit ability in his body no matter what.
He was completely suppressed by Arthur's domineering aura.
In an instant, Arthur's eyes flashed blue, and a wall of ice hundreds of feet high instantly rose from the edge of the island.
Wrap up the entire Chabaotier Archipelago, forming a completely enclosed hemisphere.
Arthur extended his right index finger and aimed at Junzi's left chest:
“I’m also good at making holes in my body, would you like to try it too?
Pointing to the gun. "
As soon as Arthur finished speaking, his index finger, carrying a huge impact force, instantly pierced into Junzi's left chest.
His body felt like it was hit by a meteorite, and all the blood vessels in his body shook violently.
"Ah——!" Junzi's miserable scream immediately caused loud howling in the surroundings.
He twisted and squirmed on the ground in pain.
Arthur saw this and swung the finger gun at him again with the same force.
He would not stop until he had poked her from head to toe into a specimen of meat scraps.
After killing Junzi in this way, Arthur lifted his hair with his bloody palm.
He covered his face and laughed wildly at the sky, his voice as loud as thunder.
Cooper's death freed him from all the constraints.
Ethics?
Or is it the worldly system?
There were no rules in his mind anymore.
He can kill anyone he wants!
Whatever he wants, just take it!
From now on, there are no more ties to accompany me, only a lonely soul wandering the world.
He took out the Ice Dragon again, drew his sword and turned it into a flash of light as fast as an extreme shadow and rushed towards where Kake and Rocks' clones were.
"From today on, I will no longer be bound by constraints."
Boom! Kaji was knocked back by the terrifying sword energy.
A flash of scarlet appeared before my eyes and an arm suddenly floated into the air.
Arthur cut off the arm of the powerful enemy that many people could not take down with one sword.
It shocked him greatly.
“I’ve told you before, the background of the World Government is not as simple as you think!
Gion's death is entirely your responsibility!"
As Kaji yelled at Arthur, another cold light as fast as lightning burst out from his chest.
Kaji failed to defend himself in time and was chopped on the spot, causing his body to tremble and blood to spurt out of his mouth.
The overlord-colored red lightning sizzled in the wound on his chest.
"What are you...doing...Arthur? I'm Kake! Chaton Kake...!"
As Kaji spoke, he suddenly instinctively dodged to the side.
A slashing wave swung out from Arthur's sword, splitting the earth and rushing out into the sea.
"Fuck, you're fucking crazy! If I hadn't arrived, even your children would have died!"
Kaji covered his wound and quickly distanced himself from the Rocks clone.
No matter what he said, Arthur didn't respond.
All we saw was Arthur wielding that ferocious blade, fighting back and forth with Rocks' clone.
“Ah… it hurts… ah ah!” After Kake escaped from the battle, he covered his wound and almost fainted from the pain.
"Don't get close to me, Kaji." Arthur gave him a death warning.
"Do you think I... want to help you? I just can't accept that Gion was willing to die for you. I will never understand why I lost to you!" Kake suddenly fell to the ground.
Blood soon dyed the soil around him red.
The battle had already stretched his body to its limits.
