Chapter 429 Drinking Milk

"Speaking of promises... I also have many regrets... many things I can't let go of... waiting for me to make up for."

On the edge of a cliff about a hundred meters high on a mountain forest plain, Fat Tiger was lying beside Arthur, gnawing on a bone with an embarrassed look on his face, observing the sunset over the entire island with him.

On the campfire grill less than half a meter away from them, a piece of venison was already cooked, sizzling with oil.

Arthur stretched out his young and tender little hands to take the venison, held it in his hand and took a bite, tearing off a piece of beautiful lean meat and chewing it in his mouth.

"I still can't believe it, but the pain and the delicious taste in my mouth are telling me that it really happened." Arthur thought as he looked towards the entrance to the woods below the cliff.

A large number of villagers held torches and built a wooden house at the entrance of the forest overnight.

The kids who ganged up on him to bully him had their butts bruised and bruised, and the whole village was filled with cries.

"Hey." Arthur slapped Fat Tiger on the head with his left hand, "See? No matter what happens, we must have a bargaining card, otherwise we will be exploited and bullied."

Fat Tiger responded with a soft "ow", his eyes fixed on Arthur's small body.

It not only discovered that Arthur could communicate with it, but also instantly understood the meaning of its calls. This was a strange and powerful human cub...

Arthur ate a lot, his belly bulged into a ball, and he lay on the ground panting heavily.

"Rocks, Roger, Garp, and... that beast Sengoku, as well as those famous and unknown figures of the old times, all gathered in this era. I will definitely not wait until I grow up before going out to sea..."

He raised his right hand and looked at it in front of his eyes.

He is now 4 years old. In three years, he will grow to be about meters tall. His growth will slow down every year thereafter, but his physical strength will increase day by day after that.

In addition to the domineering qualities that he has now been reborn, he has the armament Haki, observation Haki, and even the domineering Haki, as well as the power to listen to the voices of all things.

This time he will not stay in the East China Sea for ten years before leaving. His rich sailing experience is enough to support him to go out to sea after a few years of growth.

"I want to go to the Valley of the Gods...! I want to live in a completely new way...Ah——!"

Arthur suddenly shouted loudly, scaring Fat Tiger next to him.

It looked up and saw Arthur picking up a wooden stick and swinging it wildly.

“Ouch…” (You scared me…) Fat Tiger thought to himself, his face full of sweat. Seeing that nothing was wrong, he continued to gnaw on the scraps of meat on the bone.

At first, after it finished eating the meat and bones, it lay aside and added firewood to the campfire, quietly watching Arthur yelling and waving his sword around.

As time passed by little by little, the last bit of afterglow faded away.

The dark moon is shining brightly, and the night breeze on the cliff top is cool.

Arthur had swung the wooden stick in his hand tens of thousands of times, and his chest was heaving rapidly from exhaustion, and his body was soaked with sweat.

"Ah?" (What's the use of this? Hitting me with that small wooden stick is like tickling me...) Fat Tiger stared at Arthur in confusion.

He raised his tired hands above his head again, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Come out!" Arthur shouted, and swung his hands down with his last bit of strength.

During the last swing of the wooden stick, the tip of the stick broke through the stagnant air, creating a half circle of strong airflow resistance.

"Roar?!" Fat Tiger was shocked, staring at the visible airflow outline on the stick.

With a crack! The stick was completely swung down, broke in Arthur's hand, and fell onto the grass on the cliff plain.

"There is only one shortcut to becoming stronger, training... fighting!" Arthur, who was swinging a knife with a wooden stick, stopped training and murmured, "Everything must follow this rule, training, practice, and then understanding the essence."

At the end of the first day of rebirth, Arthur felt as if his whole body was filled with lead. He returned to the campfire, curled up and fell asleep in seconds.

Fat Tiger looked surprised and stared at the human in front of him.

If that last stick had hit it, it would probably have lost a layer of its skin.

Even if an adult human were to hit it with a stick like that, it would only tickle it...

In his mind, he could only use the word "monster" to describe Arthur.

"Oh?" (Is it an illusion? Am I afraid that he might be hallucinating?) Fat Tiger shook his head to keep his mind clear. He saw Arthur sleeping and walking alone into the depths of the forest.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Arthur woke up in the early morning of the second day after his rebirth.

The bonfire was still burning, and Fat Tiger kept looking for wood in the forest to add fuel to maintain the fire.

Arthur looked around with a confused look on his face, and stretched himself lazily, "I'm really reborn..."

Relying on his memory, he walked towards a lake in the mountains, washed off his sweaty and smelly clothes under the moonlight, and jumped into the bottom of the lake naked.

"I am truly reborn. My hands are no longer tired and have fully recovered." He lay at the bottom of the lake with his eyes open, thinking about everything that happened yesterday.

The body's functions remain the same as in the previous life, with super-terrifying recovery abilities.

But once the physical improvement reaches a bottleneck, it will require fighting to improve, which is a physical disadvantage.

It also means that he still needs to fight and challenge strong people from all sides.

7 minutes passed...

He held his breath for about seven minutes, until his lung capacity reached its limit and he felt uncomfortable all over. He suddenly surfaced to the surface of the lake, took a deep breath, and then dived back into the bottom of the lake.

This went on for about two hours.

"It's time to inspect the house." Arthur swam back to the shore and put on a T-shirt and shorts that were dried by the night breeze.

Extinguish the bonfire, ride Fat Tiger and walk down the mountain.

"Don't be fooled by the serious face of the village chief. He is just a beast who cheats women and little girls." Arthur said to Fat Tiger, "You are a pervert. Why are you pretending in front of me?"

Fat Tiger yawned and listened to Arthur's words with a numb face, looking like he had not woken up yet.

At this point, everyone in the human village is still sleeping. Except for a tavern that is open 24 hours a day, who is still awake?

"Wait...!" Arthur thought of the village chief's actions and suddenly smiled a serious evil smile, "I... can also be a beast... I... a proper beast!"

Fat Tiger was stunned when he heard this, and instantly sobered up a lot. He looked at Arthur on his back and said, "Ah?" (Beast?)

"Flirting with beautiful women, decent women, and living a life of debauchery, isn't that wonderful?"

"Ah?!"

"It should have been done earlier... It should have been done earlier!" Arthur became more and more excited as he spoke. He could no longer suppress the evil smile on his face and said, "Go to the tavern. There is a little girl waitress there. She will be humiliated by the village chief when she grows up. Why doesn't she humiliate me?"

Although he didn't know what Arthur was going to do, Fat Tiger still strode towards the village tavern with a domineering step.

About an hour——

It was still dark.

Fat Tiger arrived at the street door of the tavern at the Rapeseed Village Pier and crawled down, and Arthur jumped off him.

He took out a wooden stick and put it on his waist, then said to Fat Tiger, "You go back first, Fat Tiger, remember to wait for me at the entrance of the forest at night."

"Ao!" (Then I'll go back to sleep!) Fat Tiger roared, got up and left.

The roar of a tiger outside the tavern brought the chit-chat in the tavern to an abrupt end.

Everyone looked outside the door and were shocked when they saw the five or six meter long tiger arm crawling at the door.

Then, it was Arthur's short body that walked into the tavern.

Arthur clenched his fists, strode to the front desk, climbed onto the chair and said to the waitress, who was about 16 years old, "Bring the wine! Little girl!"

The little girl is delicate and cute, about 1.6 meters tall, and works to make a living in this pub.

About a year later, her parents would go out to sea and be lost forever, leaving her alone.

When Arthur thought of this, his expression became complacent when he looked at her. He even wanted to find a servant to take care of his daily life!

"What kind of wine did you drink?!" The little girl was stunned by Arthur's words and said fiercely, "Minors are not allowed to drink...!"

"Yeah..." Arthur held his chin and thought, "I only look 4 years old now. After I'm reborn, no one will know that I'm almost a hundred-year-old monster. It's up to me to choose how I want to live.

Logically speaking, I am a good person after she lost her parents, right? I took in a girl whose parents had both passed away to prevent her from being abused by an old man! Bah…bah…I am a gentleman…but how come this bad taste is still in my mind after being reborn! "

As he was thinking, Arthur said to her,

"Then I want milk!"

"This is a tavern, there is no milk..." She replied, "You can go to the ranch to buy some at dawn."

Hearing this, Arthur suddenly stretched out a finger and pointed it at her chest.

"No, you do!"
