Chapter 343 There is a long way to go

On the island, three pirate groups of unknown origin are transporting supplies from the Kingdom of Daughters.

Gold, silver, jewelry, clothing, and all kinds of dazzling treasures were transported onto the ship.

"It's really surprising. The Pirate Queen, an iceberg that no man can shake, actually used the power of the whole country to attack the government just for a criminal who is wanted by the government for his extremely evil crimes."

"They were defeated. There is no doubt that the government suffered heavy losses as well. Recently, news came out that the Revolutionary Army openly declared war on the Celestial Dragons after the World Conference and fought against the Shichibukai, the kings of the major nations, and the highest fighting forces of the World Government!"

"No matter what the world becomes, we only need to plunder enough property to settle down. This ocean is vast. Once we accumulate enough wealth, we can live on a remote uninhabited island and retire as a local emperor."

The three captains gathered together to talk, unaware that a sailing ship was approaching the coast overseas.

There are no guards on the Nine Snake Island, and the people fled to other countries after the empress was defeated.

The discipline of the pirate group was also rather lax, with the pirates on the lookout drunk and sleeping soundly.

It was not until the sailboat Arthur was on approached the coast that a ship and two people, a man and a woman of similar height, landed on the island and slowly worked to stabilize the ship.

The pirates looked surprised and stopped what they were doing.

Looking at Hancock in the distance with her proud figure and beautiful temperament.

That charming face and figure were already etched in their minds, and they recognized her as the Pirate Empress at the first sight.

"That is…!"

"The Pirate Queen!!!"

"Didn't she lose the war and be imprisoned in the World Government prison?"

"That's right, why did you come back here... No... That's not right... Who is that man next to him!?"

Arthur is now over two meters tall, and Hancock is 1.91 meters tall.

After aging, his appearance was not immediately recognizable.

Some pirates were petrified and unable to move because they were attracted by Hancock's beauty.

The pirate captain broke out in a cold sweat when he saw this. He never expected that the empress of this country would come back!

"I've already told you, dear, you don't have to do anything."

Hancock kissed her index finger and thumb, spread her arms, and made an archery gesture, aiming at the pirates who had invaded her country in the distance.

"These filthy fellows can't resist my beauty and my arrows of captivity!"

The love arrows generated by the ability of the Sweet-Sweet Fruit shot towards the pirates on the shore like a storm.

No matter whether it was an object, a piece of wood, or steel, anything that was hit by the arrow was instantly petrified.

The pirates' captain was horrified upon seeing this. One by one, the crew members were petrified, causing them to suffer heavy losses in an instant.

"Wait... wait...! Pirate Queen, we..."

"We are not here to invade your country, we are just here to borrow some of your wealth... and we will pay you back later!"

"Stop it, we can solve this peacefully, and we will return all the treasures!"

They immediately called a halt and tried to solve the problem through other methods.

However, at this moment, Arthur, who was standing next to Hancock, ran towards them quickly.

Arthur held a pistol in his left hand, ready to pull the trigger at any time, and his right hand was on the hilt of the knife at his left waist. He lowered his body and rushed towards them at an accelerated speed, but he had not yet drawn the black knife.

"I'll empty your house and then come to negotiate terms with you and ask for a peaceful solution. Do you agree?!"

"Who are you and why are you...wait..." Pirate Captain Pierce was suddenly stunned.

It seems that the answer to this question is obvious: the man who can stay with Boa Hancock.

There were three claw marks on the left side of his face, and the man was covered with fatal scars...

Besides the Ice Sword Master himself, who else could it be?

"Hurry up and take up your weapons to fight back! That bastard... is a master of the Ice Swords——!"

Pierce screamed in fear, and instantly drew the gun and knife from his waist and pointed them at Arthur.

As pirates encountering this man, everyone knows that no matter how much they beg for mercy, they will surely die.

"What! Pierce, what a stupid idea you came up with. We are going to lose our lives here!"

"Damn it, that legendary big shot is actually right in front of us!"

Bang, bang, bang! As the gunshots rang out, the pirates who were not petrified near the pirate captain charged at Arthur with knives in hand.

"What the fuck is this Pirate Queen? I want to live!"

"hateful!"

Arthur's extensive combat experience and senses located the bullet instantly.

But his current body speed could not keep up with the speed of the bullet, and he was unable to avoid it perfectly.

The moment the bullet is about to hit Arthur's face...

Swoosh! A captive arrow collided with the bullet in front of Arthur.

The bullet was petrified and fell to the ground.

"Thanks, Hancock," Arthur thanked him, already drawing the blade with his right hand, and began swinging it in front of the pirates.

"That black knife... is indeed correct...!"

Seeing the black knife in Arthur's hand, the last hope in their hearts was shattered.

They watched with their own eyes as their men were cut in half by Arthur's sword.

Even the big knife in his hand was chopped into pieces by the black knife, and he died tragically before his eyes.

He wields his sword decisively and never misses his target when firing his gun.

The first display came after a week of recovery training away from the World Conference.

Ordinary pirates in front of Arthur either had their brains pierced by bullets.

Either their bodies were ruthlessly chopped off by the ice dragon, or no one else could stand up to him.

This is the first half of the Grand Line, and most pirates don't know how to use Haki.

As long as he had the Ice Dragon in his hand, the current battle posed no threat to him at all, even in his current state.

For Arthur's safety, Hancock gave up mid-range combat and came to his side to protect him.

The two stood back to back, dealing with the siege of hundreds of pirates.

"Fragrant feet!"

Hancock petrified everyone with one kick. Compared with Arthur's brutal killing, she seemed much gentler.

"hu~hu~"

About half an hour later——

Hundreds of minions from the three pirate groups were wiped out.

Arthur was exhausted, kneeling on the ground, throwing away the pistol that had been fired, and panting weakly while holding the black knife...

The three captains were shocked and couldn't believe that the person in front of them was the terrifying Ice Swordsman in the rumors.

Beating their subordinates was so embarrassing!

"Don't push yourself, Arthur, you're in terrible shape."

"Ah!" Arthur roared unwillingly, stood up, and roared like a beast.

Unwilling to give in, he showed a ferocious and cruel expression, gripped the hilt of the knife with both hands and rushed towards one of the three captains.

"How did I become... so miserable...? I couldn't even avoid the bullets, and could only rely on instinct and past experience to fight... Damn it..." Arthur thought to himself, and quickly let go of the heaviness.

All in all, it's much better than when we were at the G·12 military base.

clang-

The only remaining pirate captain, Pierce, planned to fight back with a knife.

Arthur approached him quickly.

"Chasing the light!" The moment Arthur approached Pierce, his body leaned forward slightly.

He lowered his center of gravity, gripped the hilt of the knife tightly with both hands, and slashed at him fiercely.

A flash of cold light appeared, and the knife drew a smooth arc on Pierce's chest.

Arthur's sword move broke the blade in the pirate captain's hand and the bones in his chest.

A very simple sword move, without any unnecessary movements.

Bang, bang! Two strong impacts came from the side.

Hancock easily kicked the other two captains to death.

After the battle, she clasped her hands together in front of her chest and looked at Arthur with anticipation and love as he maintained his sword-wielding posture.

Arthur leaned forward, his chest rising and falling.

After releasing the sword moves, he placed the blade in his hand close to the ground and chopped down the pirate in front of him.

This battle also made Arthur realize how bad his physical condition was.

If there was no ice dragon, the knife in my hand would be replaced with an ordinary knife.

He probably couldn't even beat ten people, let alone a group fight of hundreds of people.

He is only at the level of a third-rate swordsman and is seriously lacking in physical strength.

"I think... Ha~ha~ Hancock, I have never been so weak."

"I believe you will recover. Don't be discouraged, Arthur."

Arthur's breathing was very irregular due to his physical strength. The gorgeous and domineering lightning and the terrifying aura lingering around him made him unaccustomed to using simple sword moves to chop people.

Obviously... obviously, this kind of ant can be crushed into pieces with just one glare...

But now he needs to chop it down with the knife himself...

This also made Arthur realize that he had a long way to go before he could regain his strength.

"I won't reveal any more extra emotions, Hancock, you're the last one."

Arthur disdains to succumb to weakness, he has absolute confidence in returning to his peak.

The current low point is only temporary and will definitely not last forever.

He firmly believes in his beliefs and his indomitable will always burns.

"I am very pleased and happy, Arthur! I have been watched by you as I grew up, and I have been looking forward to this day."

Hancock blushed like a girl, hugged Arthur tightly, and her heart was beating wildly.

"I am willing to accompany you through the trough and never separate, my dear..."

"Go to the country and take some of your precious things. I'll make a fire and wait for you on the coast. We'll set off tomorrow morning. Don't forget to bring me some...fruit wine."

"I know, dear."

Hancock returns to the deserted country to look for what she needs to take with her.

Some clothes, some earrings, and some historical texts of Nine Snake Island left by successive kings that made her miss them.

She sat alone in the palace defiled by pirates, writing on the dirty historical text:

"July 1520, 7, Haiyuan calendar. The fifth-generation heir to the Amazon Lily Queen, Boa Hancock. In order to follow a powerful man, she exhausted the foundation of several generations of emperors, resisted the Celestial Dragons and was defeated, and her country was destroyed and her family was ruined..."

Hancock wrote down everything that had happened recently in history.

She took the text of the national history book, changed into a sexy black cheongsam, put on a soft cloak, and carried a package that was far larger than her body size, and went to the coast to follow Arthur.

After everything is done——

Night is approaching.

Amazon Lily's night sky is full of stars, beautiful scenery and moonlight.

coastal.

Arthur built a workbench by himself and seemed to be working on something.

She walked out of the jungle and returned to the shore where the sailboat was docked. She put down the package and saw Arthur drawing a huge pirate flag.

A vivid picture of an eagle based on Cooper appeared before Hancock's eyes.

It was like a living thing, which showed how seriously Arthur took it.

"This is, Cooper? What does it mean?" Hancock asked Arthur, deliberately getting close to him.

Arthur glanced at Hancock, smelled her natural body fragrance, and smiled at her:

"My friendship with it is eternal! I will carry it with me to accomplish our common goal."

Hancock knew Arthur's goal, which was to destroy all countries.

Create a vast empire where all races coexist, and he is the absolute king of the empire.
