Chapter 339 World Conference: Easy
Arthur pretended to be strong, turned his wrist, and gently stroked the blade of his black knife.
"You are not qualified to ask me to do anything now, Narona Yim. I am now an unrestrained existence. Your authority, strength, power, everything can't intimidate me in the slightest.
Those deceived kings do not know the true situation of the world government today, but I do know that a single blow of wind can completely destroy your world.
And this wind might be me."
Facing the true top of the world, Arthur is now gambling and playing a psychological game.
If he showed weakness to the opponent, it was very likely that the opponent would realize that his current strength was not even as good as that of an ordinary pirate, and he would be forced to fuse five souls and fight to the death.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Im was staring at Arthur with a serious face, thinking:
"Did he really not consume any energy during the war at the top? Could it be that his absurd self-healing ability really restored his strength in such a short time?
Troublesome guy...more troublesome than Joey Boy..."
Im stared at Arthur's calm and indifferent expression and didn't dare to take any risks.
In the past, a country or a civilization could be destroyed at will with just a wave of the hand.
If a battle comparable to the Battle of Marineford were to take place here, she would most likely not be able to sit on the Void Throne and issue orders.
You have to wander around the sea on a boat all day like an ugly pirate.
The other four Five Elders and her servants had already revealed their murderous intent and were staring at Arthur with eager eyes.
Just wait for her order and then he can kill Arthur.
"The Frost Demon...strong enough to shock me with his strongest swordsmanship and as domineering as Joey Boy..." Im thought as he glanced at the fighting power under his command.
No matter what, the final outcome is likely to be...
If he gathers all his current strength to get rid of Arthur, his own lineup will suffer great damage, and he himself may even become a mortal and be replaced by the allied countries.
"Damn it... I want to kill him... Damn it!!" Im stared at Arthur, who was gradually smiling below, with red eyes, and he was about to explode with anger.
Her clenched hands tightly grasped the black cloth of her clothing beside her legs. The nails under her gloves were almost embedded in her skin.
As someone who could trigger the three ancient weapon kings, she had never suffered such a blow before.
"Damn that filthy underworld tyrant!" Yim was so angry that his body was shaking. He thought, "Why am I being threatened by him? It was me who invited him here, and it was me who gave him the opportunity!"
Yimu is not afraid of anything now except domineering, as her emotions heat up.
A black sun inexplicably burned throughout the Void Throne Room.
The familiar black flames made Arthur alert, and he suddenly looked up and saw a black sun hanging right above the throne.
However, the black flames soon disappeared, and Im calmed down. He said to Arthur:
"There is a creature around you that is older than us and could explode at any time. I don't know why it trusts you... Never mind... Let's talk about the terms. At least you want to exchange Shamrock's soul one for one, right?"
The Five Elders who were about to transform into hell monsters were stunned, and the murderous aura on their bodies disappeared in an instant.
I never thought that my master would compromise with the dirty pirates in the underworld.
The five people's faces seemed to be filled with question marks, and they looked dull, a dullness they had never seen before.
Even Arthur, who was ready to fight, was stunned for a few seconds at this moment...
This seemed completely different from what he had imagined. This guy who was at the top of the world was just like this?
His insight into human nature seemed to be personified once again.
such as:
When people from the lower class come into contact with people from higher classes, they will infinitely humble themselves.
Little do they know that the wisdom of those higher-ups is probably far inferior to theirs.
Faced with the last step given by Im, Arthur didn't even think about it and naturally chose to agree to her.
Return Shamrock's soul and blade as bargaining chips in equal exchange, take Hancock away safely, and participate in this world peace conference.
Because he really doesn't have the dominance to shake these monsters now, everything is a gamble.
Bang! After the negotiation was concluded, Arthur was blasted out of Pangu City by the Five Elders.
He stood outside the door in a daze for a long time, blinking again and again, unable to understand why it was so easy.
"Has she been staying at home for eight hundred years and her brain is damaged? Hello?" Arthur looked at his knife and asked.
"Could it be that... they don't care about talking to you? It's like a person with a high IQ talking to a person with a low IQ. The person with a high IQ will be put on the same level as the person with a low IQ?"
"Are you scolding me? Be careful or I'll throw you away."
"No... I didn't scold you, Master, I was just using a metaphor..."
Arthur didn't care what the ice dragon meant. The most important thing now was to check on Hancock's situation.
He took one last look at the ancient castle behind him and heard a terrifying scream coming from inside.
Then, Shamrock's soul, which was connected to the soul cage, completely lost contact with him.
As for what happened, it has nothing to do with him anymore.
The ice dragon's voice once again reached Arthur's ears:
"Be careful at the top of Marijoa. The national treasure of the World Government is hidden there. It is the birthplace of all devil fruits. However, it has now withered and can no longer listen to the voices of creatures and objects and give birth to new fruits of ability."
……
On the Void Throne, Im used the power of the black flame to make Shamrock's soul grow flesh and blood, allowing him to be reborn and return to the world of the living.
In this way, his soul, like the other Five Elder Stars, was forever sacrificed to Im.
Became an immortal and was liberated.
"Ah——!" A miserable cry of pain came out of Shamrock's mouth.
Every cell in his body was afraid of death. Coming to his senses, he immediately reached out and checked his forehead and the xiphoid process on his chest.
There was no laceration, the body was not cut in two…
Shamrock looked around tremblingly.
Soon, he saw his father and four other war gods watching everything in the room.
……
As night fell, many kings of Marijoa stayed in Marijoa with uneasy hearts, waiting for the World Conference to start tomorrow.
In Arthur's ability, the soul cage.
Outside a cell, the ice dragon took human form and followed Arthur, watching Arthur standing outside the door holding Hancock.
He looked up at the plaque on the cell that read: DR. COOPER'S INCIRVICE.
Holding Hancock's hands, I could clearly feel her body trembling all the time.
The empress, who was afraid, terrified, weak and unattainable in the eyes of outsiders, now curled up in Arthur's arms like a girl who had suffered a lot.
Of all the women who had had physical relations with Arthur, she was the only one left.
Arthur wiped her body himself and removed the mud.
Just like when he used to poke Cooper's body when he was bathing on the deck, he washed her clean again.
Then he used the medical skills that Cooper had secretly learned, made a Chinese herbal compress, and applied it on her body, then wrapped her with a medical bandage to calm her down.
"I'm telling you, this place is not suitable for recuperation, Arthur." The Ice Dragon watched the whole process from the side and kindly reminded:
"She will die if she stays in this space for too long. She needs to go to a place where the sun can shine."
Cooper is a bird of prey with a pure yang body, so he is naturally not afraid of the cold soul cage.
This is where the dead stay. When living creatures that are about to die come in, they will naturally be gradually devoured.
"The medicine made by Cooper is the most effective for wounds. I just brought her here to cleanse herself and then treat the wound... No, I have to drink something to numb my nerves... My heart aches when I think about it!"
Looking at the surrounding layout, Arthur always imagined a handsome fat eagle dressed as fashionably as a human.
There it danced, hummed strange songs, and practiced the medical skills it was researching.
But when he thought that Cooper learned medicine just to treat his battle injuries, the heavy heart hurt Arthur more than the pain from any blow, cut or wound.
"Alas... a fatal weakness..." Binglong knelt outside the door of the infirmary and closed his eyes to concentrate.
The next morning, at the huge round table of the World Conference.
Hundreds of kings and dozens of pirates sat opposite each other, almost filling up all the seats prepared by the government.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the center of the round table, where Arthur, who was emitting a strong smell of alcohol, was sitting.
"A meeting should be conducted in a proper manner! Guards! Can you please kick this guy out?"
"It stinks... such a strong smell of alcohol... is there alcohol even in my blood?"
Some kings who had never experienced poverty were disgusted by Arthur's behavior.
The guards standing guard in the meeting room were also troubled, with cold sweat on their faces, and they did not dare to go up and drive Arthur away as the kings said.
After all, his reputation still makes the world tremble, and any normal person would not want to provoke this plague god.
The fact that he was able to attend the meeting safely even after killing the guard yesterday speaks volumes.
"Fufufufu~, this is so interesting. Do you think the Celestial Dragons are nothing? Only you are the only one!" Doflamingo said with his feet on the stool.
"How disrespectful...well...after all, he's a guy whose swordsmanship is better than mine." Hawkeye had a blank expression as usual, and stared at Arthur with his arms folded.
Crocodile, with a cigar in his mouth, took a deep breath of smoke and said to everyone:
"If any of you think you can match him, just go and try it yourself. I believe there are no fools here, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone cursed in their hearts and showed expressions of disbelief on their faces. No one dared to step forward to stop the unruly Arthur.
Having power and influence means you can do whatever you want and ignore the rules and regulations set by anyone.
No one present except Rayleigh and Jabba knew his true situation.
"It hurts so much... I miss you so much, fat boy, I drank too much..." Arthur thought to himself as he listened to the buzzing sounds around him. The saying that drinking less alcohol is an elixir, while drinking more is poison has become a reality for him.
Arthur was feeling dizzy and his head was about to explode due to various physical factors such as dizziness and tinnitus caused by drinking last night.
Outside the World Conference, a large number of navy troops led by the Five Elders and Sora walked in.
The World Peace Conference, which is being held ahead of schedule, is about to begin.
