Chapter 335 World Conference: Landing in Red Harbor.
"what…"
"call…"
Arthur lay on the huge throne of the soul cage, puffing smoke from his mouth, staring blankly at the endless corridor.
The ice dragon knelt beside him in human form, obediently, with a sly smile on his face.
"Unfreeze him and see what he wants to do to me, Ice Dragon.
No matter what he wants to do, don't do anything. I have to handle these things myself."
Arthur took a sip of rum and looked at a huge ice sculpture next to the throne.
Frozen inside is Barrett, who has not yet been unsealed.
After hearing Arthur's order, the ice dragon had no choice but to break the ice.
As soon as the ice was broken, Barrett's manic roar was heard.
"What a bastard! Damn it!!!"
He was out of breath, his killing intent was lost, he looked around and shouted again:
“Arthur!!”
"Stop shouting, I'm here." Arthur sat up straight and confronted Barrett.
"How's the battle going?! Who are you?" Barrett was stunned, looking at the aging Arthur in front of him, and was not sure if it was him.
If it weren't for the three familiar claw marks on his left cheek, he wouldn't have been sure the person in front of him was Arthur.
“The war on top is over.
Shiki is dead.
The organization no longer exists.
All the forces under the World Government were destroyed, but the navy loyal to them could not be destroyed due to their huge cohesion. "
Barrett heard the news and asked again: "So...what's next?"
"I'm going to free you now. You don't have to stay by my side anymore."
Barrett listened quietly to Arthur's words, blood gradually flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"The ice has been thawed, and the injuries on my body have begun to flare up. Isn't it courting death to challenge Arthur now?"
Barrett thought to himself that he was not used to the current situation and he had no idea what was happening with Arthur.
"You are not happy! You treated me like a dog, and now you are throwing me away like a dog?
You really treat me like a dog, don’t you?!”
Listening to Barrett's complaints, Arthur remained calm and expressionless as he replied:
"Aren't you just a mad dog? Barrett, goodbye."
after one day--
On an uninhabited island in the New World, Barrett and Redfield, who had just woken up, were thrown out of the soul cage by him.
After going through so much, Arthur finally realized that building and managing power was not suitable for him at all.
Something had been rotting inside him for too long, and he had lost everything.
……
The World Peace Conference is being prepared, and ships carrying kings from all over the world are quietly approaching Marijoa.
Even at the risk of the country being invaded by pirates, they still demanded recognition and protection from the government.
When every ship passed through the waters of Marinford, they saw the Gate of Justice that had stood tall in the world for hundreds of years.
It was as if it was split in half by something, fell under the transparent ice surface, and was frozen forever.
Some countries sent people to survey Marinford, and it turned out that so many navy soldiers died suddenly under the clear glacier.
A center that was powerful enough to fight against the power of countries all over the world was destroyed by one person.
This gave the kings a new understanding and fear of Arthur.
About a week later, the kings of all countries gathered.
July 1520, 7, Haiyuan calendar, marked the beginning of the World Peace Conference.
A total of 219 kings from member and non-member countries were gathered.
One of the Four Emperors who came to attend was Red Hair Shanks.
Four of the former Seven Warlords of the Sea who did not respond to the call for war at the top also came.
They are: Crocodile, Mihawk, Gekko Moriah, and Donquixote Doflamingo.
Each came for the benefit of the new policy recovery.
There were two legendary pirates in total.
They are:
Pluto Silverbaz Rayleigh.
Jabba the Mountain.
The two of them came just to meet Hancock.
On the eve of the World Conference, the soldiers hurriedly ran to the hall of Pangu City to meet the Five Elders.
"Report! The Five Elders! The Five Elders!!"
The frightened voices of the soldiers reached the ears of the Five Elders, and they crawled to their front.
"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered? Are there any pirates who want to cause trouble before the meeting?"
Jialin slammed the scabbard to the ground and asked with murderous intent.
"No! Overseas from Red Harbor... the legendary pirates from Roger's Pirates are here!"
The Five Elders were shocked when they heard the news, and beads of sweat unconsciously broke out from under their skin.
"Have the troublesome guys finally arrived?"
"Then bring out the woman who besieged Marijoa."
Facing the order from the Five Elders, the soldier was somewhat embarrassed and stammered:
"But the Pirate Queen's current appearance..."
"Don't worry about it. She deserved it. Being defeated and still alive is the greatest mercy!"
"Rayleigh also attacked Marijoa many years ago. I hope he won't cause trouble again."
"Yes! Go down and prepare immediately!" The soldier saluted and left, heading to the big prison to release the captured Boa Hancock.
Under the Red Earth Continent, Red Harbor Port.
Several weeks after the war ended, the place had returned to its original order and appearance.
The biological viruses and those giant creatures have been purified and cleared out, and the world is now suitable for human habitation again.
The kings stared at the top of the red continent in astonishment.
The foundation stones of giant islands can be vaguely seen emerging above the red soil continent.
"Is that what Golden Lion Shiki did? No wonder so many islands disappeared out of thin air. It turns out they were used to besiege the World Government. That ability is too terrifying in his hands."
"What surprised me was the underlying strength of the government... The Navy headquarters was destroyed, but there are still so many naval soldiers and officers working for the government."
"Look, the big shots are here... Pluto Rayleigh!"
At the port, the appearance of Rayleigh and Jabba shocked everyone.
Looking at the two people in the distance, they are talking to the current Four Emperors, Red Hair.
Everyone's faces dropped sharply, but it seemed that Rayleigh did not give the red-haired man a good look.
"No pirate has ever been able to participate in the World Conference. This time the World Government has really suffered a heavy blow!"
"Look, there are revolutionary soldiers!"
Dorag's main battleship docked at the coast, and he solemnly walked down from the ship with four commanders.
On the shore of Red Harbor, Shanks chatted and laughed with the two seniors with a smile on his face.
"I really didn't expect you guys to be here too, Mr. Rayleigh, Mr. Jabba!"
Shanks said to the two.
"Shanks, you did a great job at the top war! Shiki was defeated by you and the Revolutionary Army, and he died from his injuries."
Jabba said to him with a smile on his face, patting his shoulder.
"Why did you come to join the war, Shanks? What is your purpose?"
On the contrary, Rayleigh spoke to him with an extremely serious expression.
"To be honest with you, Mr. Rayleigh and Mr. Jabba, I actually went to... kill Senior Arthur."
Shanks explained to the two sincerely:
"The reason is... he brought unimaginable disaster to this world."
Although he said this on the surface, deep down, Shanks still remembered how Arthur treated him in the past.
Sitting on the throne of power among the Four Emperors, his status and position gradually made him recall the shameful past that Arthur had done to him.
There was also the mural of the World Tree prophecy that he saw when he went to Elbaf.
All of this made him feel that Arthur's life was a disaster, and it might be better for him if he died.
Just then, a drifting ship naturally crashed into the shore of Red Harbor.
Boom! The waves crashed onto the shore and the guards hurried over to greet them.
When he saw a middle-aged man lying on the deck of the ship, he was drunk, wearing ragged black clothes and a sun hat on his head.
A guard raised his weapon harshly and shouted at him:
"Hey, you can't enter Red Harbor without permission. Who are you? Tell me your name!!"
"What is the escort ship doing? Why did they let such a troublemaker in?"
There was a commotion on the shore, and many important figures also turned their eyes to the shore.
The man staggered to his feet, drew out the black knife from his waist, and slashed at the guard in front of him.
"Black... Blade...!! Who are you?!"
The guard was horrified and quickly raised his weapon to block the man's slow knife swing.
His sword swinging speed was not even as fast as that of a normal person, but he could easily cut off the steel weapon in his hand.
Until... the sharp blade cut his body from the head.
Hiss! The guard's body was split in two and fell to the shore, spurting blood.
"That knife!!" Shanks saw the familiar black and blue blade.
There were snowflake-like marks on both sides, and in an instant, I knew who the person holding the knife was.
"My name is Arthur, and I came to your World Peace Conference alone... to have fun."
Arthur took off his hat, looked at the corpse on the ground with sharp eyes and said to him.
"Ah——!" The other guard was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and quickly shrank back.
I thought it was just an ordinary law enforcement job, but I didn't expect someone would dare to kill people in such a place.
The moment Arthur revealed his name, all the kings, pirates, and bigwigs.
They all focused their eyes on him at the same second.
"How... indecent..."
"Killing people in broad daylight... ugly guy..."
“Hahahaha, it’s no wonder he’s like that lunatic! He actually came…” On the island, Moria stood in the crowd and laughed:
"You're the only one who dares to kill government guards in a place like this, Arthur!"
Hawkeye's eyes suddenly turned serious, and a man approached Arthur and asked:
"What happened to you after the battle? Why do you look so old and haggard?"
As Arthur had spent his entire life trying to find out.
The kings kept their distance from him, fearing him and not daring to approach.
When they learned that the three Gates of Justice were cut in half by Arthur, no one dared to provoke him.
"You're almost 45, what's wrong with being older, Hawkeye?"
After Arthur responded to Hawkeye, he walked towards the island following the scent.
At this moment, a devilish laugh entered his ears:
"Fufufufu~ Let's make a scene here, Ice Swordsman!
You're not really here just for that Pirate Queen, are you? "

Ps: I don’t want to write about human nature anymore, it makes me uncomfortable. I’ll just write something about pirates.
