Chapter 426 Rebirth! East China Sea Rapeseed Village!

June 1480, 10 in the Haiyuan calendar.

In the early morning, there was heavy fog.

East China Sea, deep in the mountains and forests of Rapeseed Village Island.

A man barely a metre tall, with a face that looked like Arthur, about four years old, was lying alone in the woods.

The weather is sunny and the sun is shining brightly.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the branches and leaves, illuminating his tender face.

His eyelids and fingers moved slightly, and his consciousness and memory struggled out of a complete feeling of suffocation.

It was as if he was sinking to the bottom of a dark green deep sea, with something sticky and cold blocking his mouth and nose and filling his chest.

He took a deep breath, but only the damp and rotten plant scent and the thick and indissoluble vitality forced into his throat, with a sweet smell of soil and the slightly intoxicating aroma of some exotic flowers and fruits.

The breath was too strong, overbearingly washing over his lungs, causing him to cough violently, and his entire body arched and trembled.

Every cough involved unfamiliar nerves and tender muscles, bringing sharp pain.

He struggled to open his heavy eyelids.

The blinding sunlight first flooded into his field of vision, making it difficult for him to open his heavy eyelids.

The scene before my eyes was not the violent, crimson sky distorted by smoke and blood mist in my memory, but countless broken, jumping, pure gold-green.

They pour down from great heights, through the layers and layers of incredibly large tree canopies.

Each of those leaves is big enough to cover a house, and the veins are as clear as the lines on a giant's palm. Dark green, emerald green, light yellow green... layer upon layer, forming a flowing dome of light.

The water droplets condensed on the edges of the leaves refracted tiny rainbows in the penetrating beams of light, then suddenly dripped and hit the unknown broad-leaved plants below, making a crisp "click" sound that was particularly clear in the boundless silence.

He struggled instinctively, tried to curl up, tried to shout, but no matter how hard he struggled, he could not control his limbs normally.

It was not until his body suddenly lost weight and he was about to suffocate that he was able to untie the restraints.

"Am I dead?" After his body regained movement, he looked around carefully.

The sound of the sea breathing and seagulls and birds singing in the sky.

With a look of shock on his face, he followed his memory to the edge of a towering cliff in the forest and looked at the endless blue sea before him.

Down below, on the coast, the village's noisy market was in operation.

On a small boat going out to sea to catch fish, the fishermen are working hard to pull in the nets.

A group of playful children gathered at the village pier.

"No, this is the East China Sea, under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Goa! Am I reborn?"

He stared blankly at the sea for about an hour or two, recalling the life of pain he had experienced before.

His eyes were filled with tears and his teeth were clenched tightly. The endless grievances and injustices finally disappeared in this second.

During this time, he even kept pinching his skin, until it turned purple and blue, to make sure that this was not a dream.

This is the living reality, he returned to the starting point of the journey.

The fog gradually dissipated over the choppy sea.

The sunny and comfortable climate and the feeling of his body shrinking all seemed so real to him, and everything before his eyes struck him so vividly.

"Knife... knife..." Suddenly, he came back to his senses from his daze and touched the left and right sides of his waist, back and front.

The knife, which was more than one meter long, with a light blue blade and snowflake patterns on the blade, did not appear beside him this time.

After Arthur found that there was no knife, he subconsciously touched his chest, left face, and the areas where the familiar scars were on his body.

I found that those bumps and bruises have now turned into tender skin, smooth and soft.

This new, perfect body could not feel the infinite power and dominance that was enough to shake the world.

“Ha…hahaha…hahahaha!”

The laughter came out from the depths of his throat, broken and intermittent at first, with choking and hoarseness.

Soon, his laughter became high-pitched and loud, filled with a kind of almost crazy joy!

In fact, the laughter contained despair and sorrow, and so many emotions that it was hard to believe that it was the laughter of a child who was only four years old.

Behind the cliff where he was, a tall tiger beast, which was looking for delicious food, was lying on all fours, hiding behind a huge rock, and approaching quietly.

He stared at Arthur, who was only four years old, standing on the edge of the cliff as if he was staring at a piece of meat that was about to reach his mouth.

Adjust your limbs, tense your muscles, and then exert force suddenly to pounce forward in an instant.

The human child, who was only four years old, turned slightly, and a terrible murderous aura surged out of his body, rushing towards the tiger like a flood.

The tiger's expression froze, and he was instinctively frightened. His limbs stiffened, and he was instantly covered in sweat.

The creature's instinctive fear made it hurriedly use its sharp claws to stop its huge body from pouncing on the human child.

The sharp claws left long claw marks on the ground, and finally slid in front of the child before barely stopping.

The tiger breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked up, he saw the child's murderous eyes staring at it.

It stared at the child's facial expression dully. Not only was there no fear at all, but the corners of its mouth were raised with a hint of excitement.

At this moment, it couldn't tell who was the beast. It only felt deep fear and terror from those eyes and the child in front of it.

"Can't you release the Conqueror Haki? But it seems that you already have the Conqueror potential without awakening it."

Arthur said coldly, staring at the huge tiger cowering in front of him with its tail between its legs, as if it was looking at a cute kitten with its fur standing on end.

On the other hand, the tiger was trembling all over, sweating profusely, and making fearful gurgling sounds in its throat.

Only when it heard the child in front of it coldly say "get out" did it move, and immediately ran into the forest with its tail between its legs.

After watching the tiger being scared away, Arthur sat on the edge of the cliff, staring at the village below and taking in everything.

He was very confused. If he was really reborn, he should have a knife with him.

But the knife that was supposed to appear was not at his waist.

After thinking for a while, he stopped worrying about it and walked alone along the dirt road down the mountain towards the woods closest to the village.

About an hour or so -

The sun shone across the island, and he came to a point not far from the entrance to the woods, overlooking the village where hundreds of residents lived.

"The 26th! There are still seven days left! Wait for me...! I will never lose you this time!"

Arthur counted the days until his first encounter with Cooper, and before that he had to think about survival.

After a lifetime of destroying everything, he no longer thinks about those conspiracies and tricks.

He just wants to be himself, and no matter what or who, he can no longer interfere with his thoughts.
