Chapter 44 Resignation Application
"It turns out that in this pirate era known as Roger, Golden Lion Shiki is the biggest boss on the sea."
Arthur took off his cloak of justice, his navy jacket, and walked to the beach to use the sea water to wash off the blood stains on his body.
"Haki and Devil Fruit abilities can both suppress the power of a sword. Can't it be absolutely frozen without hurting the opponent?"
He began to organize and summarize the lessons he learned from this battle.
Soon, Arthur, after washing off the blood stains on his body, returned to the camp again and saw Cooper lying on the hospital bed, wrapped up like a mummy.
"You are so great. You are full of the aura of death, but you don't look like you are going to die." Turning around, Arthur saw a young man with two ponytails and lipstick on his lips.
He was taking pictures of himself with the camera in his hand, quietly and unnoticeably.
"If Sakaski is a hellhound and Borsalino looks like an ape... and has a yellow flash, I've already thought of nicknames for them."
"Who the hell are you?!" Arthur felt that the other person was cursing him, and he cursed at the other person's half-human, half-ghost appearance.
"My name is Zui Ai Ming Ming. I'm a civilian navy officer. I also have a hobby of giving people nicknames. I'm also a reporter."
Arthur walked up to him aggressively, lifted his collar with one hand and glared at him: "Favorite name? Were you cursing me to death just now?"
"No, no, you misunderstood." Zui Ai Mingming quickly explained: "I just like to give people nicknames, but looking at you, it's a miracle that you can still stand in this state."
Zui Ai Mingming took out a mirror and placed it in front of Arthur.
At that moment, Arthur stared at his own body in the mirror. The scratch on the left side of his face was still bleeding, and the wound on his left arm remained frozen.
The wounds all over his body were beyond description, and he stood in front of everyone like a dying monster.
"I'm thinking of giving you a shining nickname that will help the world remember you. Your body structure should be the same as theirs, very peculiar and very durable... You will definitely achieve great things in the future."
Arthur, who still had the fighting spirit, threw Zui Ai Ming Ming aside, and without paying too much attention to his injuries, he walked to Cooper and said, "I think the battle should be over soon, Cooper, we will apply when we get back."
As Arthur finished speaking, he suddenly found that the world in front of him had turned completely red.
What followed was a flood-like impact wave.
“Cooper…” (I’m going to die…) Under the influence of this breath, Cooper foamed at the mouth and almost fainted.
"Long time no see - Whitebeard, what are you and Shiki doing here?"
A hearty greeting was heard from the island, and the island was filled with the sound of fighting and roaring.
"Roger, you bunch of nosy bastard pirates... I just ask you to hand over the historical text!" Hearing Roger's voice, Shiki became even angrier.
"Hahaha, Roger!" On the other hand, Garp was even more excited.
Under this domineering aura that was surging wildly and spreading to the entire island, the weakling couldn't even stand up straight and fainted on the ground.
As if selecting strong people who could match him, the weak ones all fell down and fainted, while the strong ones stood.
"This is Conqueror's Haki, the Roger Pirates are here." Zui Ai Mingming did not faint in the torrent of Conqueror's Haki, but ran to the highest point of the warship's mast to observe the situation on the island.
Arthur settled Cooper down, put aside the only worry in his heart, and walked back into the forest with a knife.
"Starting..."
The moment he shouted these two words, his body sank suddenly, and his weak body burst out with new strength again.
The cell activity in the body operates rapidly at a speed that is incomprehensible to living beings, and is converted into power and speed for him to drive his limbs.
"Are you crazy? You still want to fight with such injuries? If you don't die, who will..." Drunk Ai Mingming shouted, and suddenly covered his mouth, and it seemed like he was really cursing someone to death.
Arthur, who had already learned his lesson, smiled faintly and began to gather the power of the blade and rushed towards the island:
"I will never fall!"
Then, a towering 100-meter-high ice wall emerged from his blade, penetrating the sea and sky...
There was blood and rain, and the fighting lasted day and night.
The battle lasted two days and two nights.
The island brought by the Golden Lion was split by the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and sank forever under the deep sea of this sea.
The island sank into the sea, leaving no standing point, forcing the final battle to an abrupt end.
This battle was called: The Battle of the Sphinx Sea.
The Whitebeard Pirates became famous in one battle.
Arthur's unyielding appearance in the conflict with these future great men was remembered by everyone.
……
New World Navy G-14 Branch Base.
The naval fleet came to this island for a short period of time to reorganize and replenish supplies.
"What did you say, you want to resign?"
Warring States shouts were heard from within the base, and the seagulls outside the base were scared away by the angry voice.
"I don't want to do this anymore. If I keep carrying out missions like this, I'll die." Arthur, who was wrapped in bandages like a mummy, stood in the office of the G14 base chief with his hands stuck out and said to Zhan Guo with an unhappy look on his face.
Puff! After hearing this, Karp even spat out the tea in his mouth and asked:
"Why, Arthur?"
"I want to quit and recuperate. My left arm is almost broken. No, to be precise, I almost died!" Arthur was calm, but had to leave for his own reasons.
"Are you going to give up your duty of justice? Give up your responsibility?" Zhan Guo clasped his hands together, looked into Arthur's eyes and said.
"Justice?" Hearing this, Arthur sneered: "Sorry, I can no longer enforce justice due to my injuries."
He knew very well that there was almost no justice in the Navy.
This huge organization is just a military tool used by the Celestial Dragons, and the purpose of joining is just to become stronger.
Zhan Guo pointed to a recent newspaper on the table and continued to say to Arthur:
"The battle in the Sphinx Sea has been reported to the whole world through newspapers, and your bravery has once again made the headlines."
"I have already submitted a promotion request based on your military achievements. Arthur, why are you saying you want to quit the navy now?"
The newspapers clearly contained a number of exaggerated and fabricated stories about his combat experience.
When Arthur saw the photo on the newspaper headline, he suddenly became furious and shouted:
"I've already said that I don't like any public opinion and lies. Besides, I'm just an ordinary soldier. What are you doing with all this propaganda? To boost morale? Or to get more people to join the Navy?"
Sengoku could not accept the fact that a talented swordsman who had just made military achievements and could be trained was leaving the navy.
The current navy lacks combat power and manpower, so he will never let him go easily.
So he comforted him: "You should rest for a while, Arthur, I will report this matter to my superiors."
Arthur left the G14 base office angrily - he just wanted to use his injury as an excuse to leave the organization peacefully, but he didn't expect to be rejected.
Everyone sighed, unable to believe that Arthur would make such a decision after the battle.
"I heard that his eagle was badly injured in the battle, so he is very unhappy."
"Why don't we let him carry out some missions related to war assistance? It can also hone his military talents."
The officers began to discuss why Arthur wanted to resign.
"It just so happens that I have a mission for the Jarzburg Kingdom to hire a huge sum of money for naval operations. Let him give it a try."
Hearing this, Zhan Guo suddenly thought of a previous military assistance mission.
"Yeah, if we train him up, he's no less capable than us. We can't just give up on him like that." Cap said. He admired Arthur very much.
"How is Sakaski's injury? Is he awake?"
"Not awake yet, still in a coma."
But Sengoku in the room didn't think the same way as Garp.
They had just experienced a fierce battle and their injuries had not yet healed.
Arthur, who was seriously injured and on the verge of death, woke up within a day and submitted his resignation to him?
"Such people cannot leave the Navy..."
He just felt Arthur's determination to leave the navy and felt that it would be a big problem if they became enemies in the future.
The Kingdom of Jarzburg is a non-member military state of the Grand Line.
Since its founding, it has been waging wars against neighboring countries.
