Chapter 342 Return to 9 Snake Island
From then on, Arthur felt that he would never find such a spiritual eagle again.
Everything it has done, everything it has grown, everything it has learned.
Medical skills, combat prowess, and navigation skills, including the innate ability to fly.
They all served Arthur unconditionally throughout their lives, just to thank Arthur for saving their lives.
Arthur grew up under the law of the jungle, and most of his current personality is inherited from that time.
Males favor females, and even a tiger won't eat its own cubs.
The emotions in nature are very simple and plain, and there have never been so many conspiracies and intrigues as in the world.
Since we can feel recovery, the body is actually a process of constant destruction and regeneration.
Just like being alive, as long as you are alive you have to constantly accept, let go, and pursue.
And...start again, persevere again.
For Arthur, this is just a process of re-leveling.
But this time, it's different from any other time.
If he could recover, his strength would be unchallengeable except for himself.
The sky gradually brightened, the darkness was illuminated by the sun, and Arthur's morning exercise ended.
The ship under his feet was the one he had snatched from someone who was fleeing from worldly wars at sea.
It has a complete navigation system that can barely withstand storms and waves.
Clean, new, and even the decoration inside the house is quite warm.
It can serve as a wandering boat while he recovers his strength.
Arthur simply washed the black robe and hung it out to dry.
"If Cooper were still here, he would have caught a big fat fish from the deep sea by now, right?"
Arthur, who had just finished training, was once again on the verge of emotional collapse due to his usual longing.
With his upper body naked, he stood at the front of the deck for a long time with a knife in his hand.
"It's terrible to lose the friend with whom I have the deepest feelings..." Arthur said hoarsely.
He tied the anchor rope around his body, took a pistol, and plunged into the freezing cold deep sea.
Foraging for food, surviving in nature, and recuperating from his injuries became the only things he did now.
There was no food on board, only 6 barrels of fresh water and some alcoholic drinks left by the original owner on the middle deck.
The Revolutionary Army launched a full-scale war against Marijoa, and the entire sea nearby was besieged by Revolutionary Army ships.
Despite the constant bombardment, no revolutionary army dared to bomb the ship Arthur left on.
Worrying about food every day is also the wandering path that Arthur chose himself.
He has long been accustomed to this kind of life.
In order to avoid pursuit and for ambition, he once resorted to all means to transform himself into a woman and live in secret.
Now, the female cells injected by Ivankov into the body are destroyed by Law's fruit ability.
He no longer had the power to change genders, nor did he need that power anymore.
The deeper they dived, the less sunlight there was in the sea. Arthur relied on his keen perception to find food for today.
For some reason, the closer he got to the darkness, the more familiar it became to him.
He could feel it clearly, especially at night.
He was weaker during the day than at night. He didn't know what power had quietly awakened within his body.
But now my body is too weak to master it.
He could feel that this power, apart from his physical strength, was unique to him.
Bang! Arthur aimed at a shadow on the seabed and pulled the trigger of the pistol in his hand.
The bullet pierced through the big fish's head and blood plasma burst out on the seabed.
Arthur grabbed its mouth and swam immediately towards the ship above.
He floated to the surface holding the fish head, closing his eyes and breathing deeply.
On the boat, Hancock woke up and stood at the stern, looking at the man she loved with surprise.
Just going into the sea to catch a fish is exhausting.
In the past, he could cross the sea on foot and fly between islands using the Moon Step without even taking a breath.
After taking a breath, Arthur looked up and saw Hancock's surprised expression. He smiled helplessly and said:
"Hehe...Hehe...Today we have food for you and me..."
"Take my hand and I'll pull you up." Hancock extended her slender hand to Arthur.
Bring him from the water to the boat along with the food.
Even if Hancock has not recovered yet, she is countless times stronger than Arthur is now.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so sad?" Arthur returned to the boat and found Hancock staring at him sadly and asked.
Hancock wiped her tears and couldn't help but reply: "It's nothing... wuwu... I misunderstood you, I'm sorry."
It turned out that it wasn't that there was no support, but that the battle in the underworld was more difficult than she had imagined.
"It's over. Next, let's go to Nine Snake Island and see if there's anything you want to take away." Arthur stroked her hair and began to decide on the route destination:
"Then... let's go to the Kingdom of Flowers. The Eight Treasures Navy also died. I didn't say anything at the World Conference, so I need to go and express my condolences in person."
"Don't you have anywhere you want to go, dear?" Hancock asked curiously:
"Like, going home or something..."
Come back home?
He really has no home to return to.
Home is where your feet are.
The place where he grew up has been slaughtered by his own hands.
"This is my home now, Hancock. Come and try my grilled fish!"
Arthur forced himself to change the subject, dragged the big fish and started to deal with it.
"Well, honey, I want to help you!"
"Get some firewood, put it next to the campfire, and then just watch from the side."
"Okay, I'll go right away!"
Together, the two of them quickly used the bonfire on the boat to grill delicious fish fillets.
The big fish weighing more than 20 kilograms was eaten up in a moment.
During this voyage, Hancock began to play pranks on Arthur in an attempt to cheer him up.
Use the bubble layer to dive into the deep sea, pass through the underwater caves under the red soil continent, and reach the first half of the Grand Line.
Hancock's injuries were recovering rapidly every day, but Arthur's were recovering very slowly.
He could only destroy himself through training again and again, and then rebuild his body through recovery, day after day.
On July 1520, 7 in the Haiyuan calendar, about a week after the revolutionary army declared war on the government.
The small boat driven by Arthur arrived at the Calm Belt, and relying on Hancock's domineering aura, he successfully intimidated the sea kings under the Calm Belt.
The two rowed the boat and gradually approached the interior of Nine Snake Island.
At noon, the ship approached the coast of Amazon Lily.
Hancock's injuries have stabilized. She is at the front of the ship, frowning as she looks at the coast of her own country's island.
Three pirate ships docked at the shore.
"Arthur, my dear! Some filthy creatures have invaded my country."
Hancock immediately came into the cabin and informed Arthur of the situation.
Arthur was seen in the cabin holding a pirate pistol and checking the bullets inside.
"My current eyesight can only see things a hundred meters away. Hancock has already discovered it."
"You don't have to fight, Arthur. They are just a group of unknown pirates. I can protect you."
"I need to test my current strength. Don't stop me, Hancock."
