Chapter 434: Innate Dominance
At sunset, the birds in the mountains are restless, and the roars of wild beasts echoing in the mountains also stop at this moment.
Ferocious beasts were lying unconscious in the forest, with concave stick and fist marks on their faces and heads.
Arthur stood in the middle, his T-shirt torn by sharp claws, and slowly untied the bandage on his eyes.
"It feels strange. I can clearly feel the presence of the three colors of Haki, but I can only use the initial stage of Observation Haki. However, this body cannot fully exert the limit of the initial stage of Observation Haki. The body cannot keep up with the prediction and will still be attacked."
Arthur looked around at the unconscious beasts and laughed.
"Isn't it just your physique that you brought with you after your rebirth? Haha, the three colors of innate domineering aura, and... your power to freeze everything."
Arthur stood there in shock for a long, long time.
On the first day after my rebirth, the power I felt at first was not an illusion.
"It turns out that with an extra aura and a determination not to fear death, I am much stronger than in my previous life. Now that I think about it... I was such a coward back then."
Arthur looked at his fist and thought for a long time. He decided not to disrupt the normal operation of this world.
Properly hiding himself might make his life better.
Blindly showing off and performing will only lead to a repetition of the tragedy.
All he needs is the strength to look down on everything and enjoy this new life process.
It was easy to act recklessly, to be free enough to kill everyone around him, and even Arthur himself didn't want to struggle in such pain.
This is a profound lesson.
About half an hour after descending the mountain, Arthur was holding foxtail grass in his mouth and carrying two hares on his shoulders.
He particularly enjoyed the afterglow of the sunset, and it was not a bad thing to feel the simple warmth of the world.
"With the Soul Cage ability gone, I can't use many sword techniques. Forget it... Mastering the essence of sword techniques doesn't involve fancy moves. Ordinary swings practiced countless times are enough."
When Arthur returned to his home, he didn't see Fat Tiger. He must have hit it with a stick yesterday and it was still angry.
"What a hypocritical guy..." Arthur curled his lips in disdain, pushed open the door and went back into the house.
Hang the iron pot above the stove and start skinning and removing the tendons from the rabbit meat.
"Today we have rabbit stew, little one!" Arthur said to Cooper, who was lying in his little nest by the window.
"Delicatessen…"
Arthur stopped talking abruptly. His sensitive nerves made him realize that Cooper was very gloomy and sad.
After boiling the water, Arthur walked over to its nest and asked, "What's wrong?"
Now Cooper and he were not very familiar with each other, they were still strangers, but they felt like old friends as soon as they met.
"Kubo." (I am an alien to my tribe, an unwelcome alien, and I will not be loved even if I die.)
It felt that Arthur had no hostility and confided its grievances to him.
"Why do you say that?" Arthur asked with concern.
“Cooper…” (My shouting was rejected by the tribe… laughed at… driven away… Obviously this is not something I can control…)
Arthur listened carefully to his complaints, stroked its eagle head with his hand, and whispered,
"How can this be considered an alien? Put yourself in their shoes. They can't understand human language, but you can. You have evolved earlier than them and are more powerful than them.
This is called special, little guy, you are special and they are the outliers.
Just exclude them, independent and self-reliant creatures are the most handsome.
You see, I am just like you, alone, relying on no one, and living freely.
Don't think about those useless things. In my heart, you are a special bird of prey, a mighty eagle that will soar into the sky in the future!"
When Cooper heard Arthur's words, it was like a dream that someone actually recognized its voice and abnormality.
Its eyes were filled with tears, and its sharp eyes looked at Arthur with a tear.
"Uh... hehe..." Arthur felt a little embarrassed by being stared at. He scratched his face and thought,
"I've only known it for a day, and it's really fake to praise it like this, right? It makes me look like a liar..."
Although Arthur thought so, at this moment Cooper's heart was deeply moved and he shouted seriously, "Cooper...?" (Really? Am I really special?)
Arthur was silent for a moment after hearing what Cooper said. He stopped smiling awkwardly and responded seriously.
"At least, in my heart, no one is as good as you..."
Bad memories came to his mind, Arthur shook his head violently and changed the subject.
"How about I give you a name?"
Cooper didn't call out, but just looked deeply into Arthur's eyes.
"How about naming yourself after your voice, Kuber?"
Arthur said, feeling somewhat worried that there were many changes in this life.
After all, the ice dragon is gone, so things are somewhat different.
Cooper, who was given a name, became even more dazed and stared at Arthur motionlessly.
"If you have nowhere to go, you can follow me and I will heal you and make you walk and fly again!"
Hearing Arthur's words again, it nodded uncontrollably.
The water in the pot boiled and Arthur went to cook the hare.
The house was quiet for about half an hour, with only the simmering sound of the stew and the aroma gradually spreading.
"If you want to fly away, I will not stop you. If you want to stay, Arthur scooped a bowl of fragrant stewed rabbit meat and placed it in front of its nest, and then said,
"You may have to put up with my wilfulness and indirect craziness for a while."
The shadow cast by killing and war cannot be erased.
In common parlance, it is called "the aftermath of war."
Cooper didn't answer, he just kept these words and the childish face he first met yesterday in his mind forever.
In the sunlight that filtered through the treetops and bushes, a human child with the hope of life discovered it.
"Take your time eating, Cooper. I'm going to go out for a while." Arthur drank the stew in the bowl in one gulp and walked out the door in tattered clothes.
Even if he can't get what he wants, Arthur will save it... because it is the spiritual pillar of Arthur's conscience.
After walking out of the house and away from it for some distance, Arthur stood on a path not far from the village.
I covered my knees with my hands, sweat was pouring down my forehead, my heart and breathing were extremely rapid,
He had no idea how many people he had killed in his previous life.
I have been killing since I went to sea at the age of 14, killing every day, and I was still killing until the last moment of my death.
Tens of millions of people died because of him?
One hundred million? Several hundred million?
Or is it simply impossible to count?
Even after being reborn, that murderous intent was still in his invisible aura.
"May my sanity prevail over my madness."
Knock, knock, knock! In Rapeseed Village, high above a rapeseed field, Arthur knocked on the door of the village chief.
The woman's moan coming from the house made Arthur smile.
After a while, the village chief, with his upper body naked and a strange woman covering her body, came to open the door with him.
房门被打开——！
"Who is it?!" The village chief asked angrily as his joy was interrupted. He looked around but didn't see anyone.
"Me!" Arthur replied immediately, "Village Chief, have you returned my money to me?"
When he heard Arthur's voice, the village chief lowered his head and his mouth twitched.
Arthur grinned and took the opportunity to stick his head through the crack in the door to look inside.
I found a charming woman, disheveled and sweating profusely, standing behind the village chief.
"Arthur, I just came back today. Your money is ready for you." When the village chief saw that it was Arthur, his tone became gentle.
"You taste good... Village Chief, are you looking for a prostitute from the capital?" Arthur said to the woman with a sly smile.
"Be careful, in ten years you will have kidney deficiency and will be looking for tonic medicine everywhere."
"Go away!" When the village chief saw Arthur sticking his head through the crack of the door, he immediately kicked him out.
"What are you looking at, kid...you're not even that old yet!"
"How much did you sell those deep-sea fish for?" Arthur asked the village chief.
"The nobles in the capital of the Kingdom of Goa should like it very much, right?"
