Chapter 320 Jabba's Test and Questioning

"Hey, Arthur, long time no see."

In response to Jabba's greeting, Arthur thought about his current situation and glanced at him for several minutes.

Then he slowly smiled and responded:

"Long time no see, Mr. Jabba."

This response made Jabba's eyes light up, as he never expected Arthur to address him respectfully.

“Huh?!” Inside the cabin, Yaluo and the others who had been violently beaten were also stunned where they were.

He stared at his father blankly with an expression of shock, surprise, and even incomprehension.

He was talking about killing the whole world two days ago.

Such a big change in attitude after waking up?

"Uh...wait...isn't that the wrong way to say hello? Arthur, let's start over." Jabba was a little skeptical.

And he spoke again to Arthur:

"It's been a while..."

"Long time no see, Mr. Jabba. Your hair has turned completely white. Time is not forgiving."

Arthur directly interrupted Jabba's questioning and spoke to him gently.

Jabba was shocked, but he pretended to be calm and waved to Yana who was beating Yalo:

"Hey, little girl, come here for a moment."

Hearing Jabba calling her, Yana let go of Yalo and returned to the corridor.

"Is there something wrong with your father's brain? He wasn't like this before."

"I don't know. Dad is Dad. To me, there's no difference."

"You are wrong! He has never been gentle! At least that's the impression and memory I have of him.

Still smiling at me, has your brain been damaged by fighting?"

"Perhaps it is the impact of the death of Mommy, Second Mommy, and Uncle Cooper."

The two men started talking loudly in front of Arthur, with their backs to him.

However, looking at Yaluo who was in a mess in the house, sitting on the ground with an indifferent attitude.

And looked at Yun Que's efforts to cover up his behavior.

He turned and walked towards other parts of the cabin.

Even if the body is damaged and the five senses are weakened, one can easily detect the scent of death.

In just a few seconds, Arthur walked barefoot along the corridor inside the cabin and arrived outside a cabin door.

After preparing himself mentally, he pushed open the cabin door and strode in.

Many coffins were neatly placed on the floor.

Arthur walked towards the coffin nearest to him and saw Gion with his hands on his chest.

Sleeping there forever.

Yana had specially done her makeup, and she looked as beautiful as she was in life.

"Mommy likes beautiful things, so I won't let her be buried ugly, Daddy."

At this time, Yana's voice came from outside the cabin door, and she stood outside the door and spoke to Arthur.

Arthur was seen checking each coffin one by one, reaching out his hand and gently touching three of them.

Death, something he had been completely numb to, actually affected his mentality at this moment.

Outside, no matter how many people Arthur killed, he wouldn't feel anything.

There is a saying that goes "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit."

Successful people become kings, have unlimited power, and their words are laws.

Those who fail die like dogs, or live powerlessly like dogs.

"Come out for a moment, Arthur. I want to tell you something."

After a while, outside the cabin, Jabba called Arthur out.

There were not only his children in the cabin, but also the seriously injured Rayleigh.

Marco is awake and treating the injured.

And Kake were all transported to this ship.

Following Jabba, Arthur saw them through the portholes as they passed the hatches.

Jabba brought Arthur to the deck and sat cross-legged with the trademark smile of his youth on his face.

But it gave Arthur a very serious feeling.

Arthur sat opposite him, his back hunched, his eyes fixed on the floor.

"You really did a great thing. If Rayleigh's life card hadn't burned out, I might not have rushed here from Elbaf."

Jabba said to Arthur, even though he felt that there was no power in Arthur at the moment.

But what he did was too outrageous and unbelievable.

Just one organization and a group of people almost overthrew the world government.

"Jabba, have you been hiding in Elbaf all these years?"

Arthur spoke to him calmly, unable to feel the immense power within him.

Let him start being kind to these people.

This battle deprived him of the capital to be arrogant and conceited, and he paid a heavy and desperate price.

For twenty years, he turned into a woman and ran around for the so-called immortality surgery.

The strength of the world government is developing in secret.

If Shanks and Dragon hadn't interfered, and Blackbeard and Golden Lion had overthrown the Big Prison and rushed to join him, the battle might not have turned out like this.

But things are unpredictable and Arthur cannot predict everything.

Arthur soon regarded all of this as retribution for killing so many innocent people.

But the biggest problem is not here...

“That’s right, back then the Roger Pirates were hunted down by the government and only a few were left.

I can only hide in Elbaf, outside of this world.

At least, the government doesn’t dare to venture into that area easily.”

"You look like you're in good health," Arthur responded to Jabba's conversation.

My heart is in turmoil and my mind is in chaos.

"Of course, I am a conductor of love, Arthur, hahahaha."

Reliving the brief conversation, Jabba was happy and proud of himself.

Just like always, he is an extremely free and easy person.

But soon, he put on a serious expression and looked at Arthur.

“Arthur, I’ve heard countless rumors over the years.

You killed innocent people indiscriminately, sparing no men, women, young or old.

Even destroyed the Seven Water City that built the Oljexson for us.

You should know that this is not allowed in the Roger Pirates, right?"

Jabba's tone was very bad, and after he finished speaking, he patiently wanted Arthur to give him an answer.

"Roger Pirates' rules? I quit a long time ago, 23 years ago, so I'm not bound by the Pirates' rules."

Arthur immediately defended his actions, sensing that Jabba had ill intentions.

“But you were once an official member of Roger’s Pirates, and your reputation was even known on the sea. This is an undeniable fact.

You were still addressing me respectfully just now, which shows that you haven't forgotten that time in your heart."

In response to Jabba's words, Arthur turned his head slightly and looked at the sea outside the side of the ship.

I fell silent, and my mind naturally recalled those times.

"Yeah, Cooper was also very happy during that time..." Arthur muttered to himself in a low voice.

"Arthur, don't go further into the darkness.

Put aside the bad things and you will find that the world is not so hostile.

Hide your identity, like me, now the giants of Elbaf call me Duck Voice.

I also married a giant wife and had a child.

There is no hurdle that cannot be overcome. If you kill and chop everyone you see, you will only become a bloodthirsty monster.

You should go and listen to what the ocean has to say about you and Roger's pirate group.

The children are…”

"Shut up, Jabba." Hearing this, Arthur's eyes were cold, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he looked up at him:

"This is not my fault. I will not get out of this because of your persuasion."

Boom! The clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and heavy rain began to fall.

The sea roared and rolled, and a bolt of lightning struck the sea behind Jabba.

His huge figure flashed, looming over Arthur at the moment.

"Then are you still going to continue on your own? Mainly to destroy the world?"

There was no doubt that Arthur knew that this was Jabba's own ability.

Yana was standing aside, and seeing the heavy rain falling on Arthur at this moment, she hurried over to offer him an umbrella to shelter him from the rain.

According to Marco's diagnosis, the internal organs were damaged and the cells were destroyed.

The most serious point is that it seems like something is about to ignite inside his aging body.

There is no sense of dominance at all, he is just an ordinary person who is seriously injured.

Given Arthur's current physical condition, he might get seriously ill even if he got caught in the rain.

The heavy rain quickly soaked Arthur's whole body, and his thick short hair covered his eyes.

"Don't come over here, little girl. I want to hear his answer in person."

Jabba waved at Yana as she approached, stopping her from coming closer.

The tense atmosphere solidified, and Jabba stared at Arthur.

Arthur clenched his five fingers, the movement was extremely strenuous under the pouring rain.

The body soon became cold and shivering, and an itchy feeling soon appeared in the chest.

“I couldn’t feel any strength at all, and the pain in my internal organs was unbearable.

I can't feel any domineering power, nor can I feel any recovery ability.

You should know me or my blood very well. In the past, broken bones could heal within two days.

How many days has it been now? Mr. Jabba, if you put me in front of a dog now, I'm afraid I won't be able to beat it, right?

If you want to see me in such a mess, just kill me."

Arthur pointed to his head.

"The head is right here, one blow from the axe would kill me instantly.

That way, you can take my head and announce to the world that you have cleared the shame of Roger's Pirates."

"I won't allow it!!" Yana instantly grabbed the first generation Kitetsu around the waist.

In the corridor of the cabin, Yaluo, who had put on his clothes, turned around, with a serious face and said nothing.

The genetics of Gion and Stussy were visualized at a glance.

Yalo only respected Arthur when he was powerful.

And Yana would always stay behind Arthur no matter what.

It also happens to reflect Gion's loyalty and Ba Jin's nature of liking strong people.

Jabba was shocked by Arthur's magnanimity. Even though he was powerless, he still exuded a kind of aura.

That is the aura of a strong man, proof of having possessed terrifying power.

"And destroying the world or something like that, do you think I can do it now?"

Jabba was silent for a long time, and his heart, like the weather, suddenly became clear.

The dark clouds dispersed, the sun shone brightly, and the boiling sea calmed down again.

"Don't insist on it, Arthur, just go and experience this world."

Having said this, Jabba stood up and walked into the cabin.

"I will, don't worry, I won't have any more constraints.

Please, Mr. Jabba, find two islands. I want to put Kaido and Big Mom back."

"Ah? Where are they?" Jabba was surprised when he heard the two names.

"It's within my ability... I'll trouble you to help me deter them when the time comes. I owe it to them."

Feeling the arrogance disappear from Arthur, Jabba agreed.

Compared to Arthur, he was more worried about Rayleigh's condition and went back to the cabin to check on Rayleigh.

Forbearance is also a lesson Arthur must learn at this moment.

"Dad, you're soaking wet and you're shaking. You need to dry yourself off and change your clothes."

Yana hurried to Arthur's side and took care of him without leaving his side.

As she supported him, Yana felt Arthur grabbing her arm with all his strength.

With a look of despair, he confessed to her:

"Why am I so embarrassed, why am I like this?

She actually betrayed me and cut off my power. If I had known this... I would rather burn out my life and die in battle..."

Before he could finish, Arthur once again passed out due to physical discomfort.

Arthur knew that he had threatened Rayleigh to join the war, which ultimately failed and led to Shakey's death.

Such treatment is justified.

Not only Jabba, but also Kaido and Big Mom, all had apologies that shouldn't have happened.

“Sorry, little girl, this is a test and a question for him.

This is also for Rayleigh.”

Jabba felt that he had gone too far and saw Arthur faint again.

Only then did I realize the seriousness of the matter, and I would have fainted.

Even if you want to bring Arthur down, it will only be possible after a fight to the death between strong men like Golden Lion Shiki, Roger, and Garp.

Now it’s not okay to get caught in the rain?

The physical deterioration is too serious.

Jabba's gaze actually swept towards the observation deck again, where barefoot Enel was overlooking his every move.

"People from Qinghai..." Enel was shocked. He never thought that someone from Qinghai could summon lightning.

"As much as I appreciate you saving us, please don't treat my father like that again!"

Yana carried Arthur back to the cabin, and when she walked to Yaluo, she gave him a cold look.

"I..." Yaluo reached out to grab Yana and wanted to explain something, but he didn't know where to start.

Because he saw how Arthur killed tens of thousands of people with one sword.

Those vibrant lives, the pirates who were raised with so much effort by their mothers, were killed just like that.

He really wanted to take care of Arthur, but there seemed to be a wall in his heart that stopped him from doing so.

"Even if the whole world had a prejudice against my father, I would stand behind him without hesitation, but you chose to ignore it."

"No...! I just... don't know how to face... him..."

……

Judicial Island, on the judge's throne.

After Bucky occupied this place, he wore the white robe of the Chief Justice.

Wearing a judge's hat, he handled official business in an official manner.

"Clown King... No... No...! Your Excellency the Chief Justice, please read the latest World Economic Daily... newspaper!!"

The Ark Maxim lost power and collapsed in the center of the town of Judicial Island.

"Economic Daily?" Baki, who had been a judge for two days, cheered up after hearing the news:

“Hand it over to me quickly, it must be that the World Government was destroyed by Arthur, right?

It must be that the Celestial Dragons were... uh..."

Bucky eagerly took the newspaper and looked at the contents and photos in the newspaper.

Time seemed to freeze him.

"Everyone around Arthur is dead?

However, all the organizations under the World Government were destroyed...

Even the Inquisition, which was comparable to the Knights of God in the old days, was killed.

Who on earth released this kind of news? This kind of news should not appear on the surface!"

Buggy only realized after reading the newspaper that the plan to overthrow the World Government was...

Failed.

……

Over the Grand Line, a steam-powered spaceship soared above the clouds.

Morgans, who was extremely excited, was laughing wildly.

“Great! That’s wonderful! Hahahaha!

The fact that this war has developed to this point is far beyond our expectations!

That monster never fails to surprise me!

Garp betrays the navy, Red Hair and the leader of the Revolutionary Army defeat Golden Lion Shiki!

The whereabouts of the two emperors are unknown! "

Morgans, who was excitedly rolling around in the hall full of messy bookshelves and files, suddenly stopped.

“Even the eagle that had followed him all his life died in this war.

Great! This is unprecedented news! "

……

In the New World, on a Revolutionary Army ship heading to Egghead.

Robin held the newspaper blankly, looking at the boundless sea.

"Cooper...is dead...so Arthur...what have I done?"

She has read all the contents of the newspaper.

When she heard the news, she felt endless self-blame.

The world was shaken and conflicts among countries began to brew.

Without the constraints of the World Government, military powers will expand their territory unscrupulously.

"Oh my god, the world is about to go to hell."
