Chapter 447 Teach me!

Leia stared into Arthur's blue eyes, as if she was looking at a deep-sea gem, and only later did she realize that he actually had such beautiful eyes.

I quit my job at the pub and followed him for a month, and it was only now that we saw each other's eyes.

"What are you looking at, girl? Why are you staring at me so seriously?" Arthur asked her casually.

She replied without hiding anything, "Has anyone ever told you, Arthur, that you have beautiful eyes?"

"I inherited it from my mom." Arthur pointed at his new knife proudly and responded with a smile.

It was indeed Ao Shuang who gave him these eyes. At first, his pupils were just ordinary black, and only after he inherited the power of extreme ice did this change occur.

Leia nodded in approval after hearing this and asked curiously, "You seem to like your mother very much. You seem very proud when you talk about her."

"Isn't that nonsense?" Arthur laughed again, "Who wouldn't be proud of their mother? Are you annoying?"

"It's annoying." Leia looked very unhappy. "They always seem to be trying to persuade me, but they let me work and support myself. Otherwise, why do you think I have worked in Rapeseed Village for so many years?"

"Don't tell me about what's happening at home." Arthur narrowed his eyes, observed Leia's micro-expressions, and then left the cabin.

Arthur was alone on the deck, drawing his new knife.

The blade width is very slim, just like an ordinary knife.

It doesn't look like a 15-pound knife at all. The thickness and width seem to have been compressed to the extreme, but the original quality is maintained.

Touching the face on the knife, the bumpy metal touch spread across his fingertips.

"It's nice to have you again." Arthur just said that and threw the knife into the air in front of him, synchronizing with the speed of the ship, so that the blade could land just above his head.

The knife was spinning in the air, and Arthur lowered his head and closed his eyes, sitting there quietly, waiting for the knife's choice.

At this moment, Leia came out of the cabin with some fruits prepared, and happened to see this horrifying scene.

If the 15-pound blade hit Arthur's head, it would definitely split him in half, with blood and flesh flying all over the deck.

One circle, two circles, the blade rotated about five circles as it fell.

"Arthur..." Leia took a big step forward, trying to go up and carry Arthur away from where the blade fell.

But he couldn't keep up with the speed of falling, and he heard a thud.

The deck in front of Arthur shattered, and the end of the hilt fell steadily into it.

The blade of Aoshuang's sword was pointing towards the sky, standing upright in front of Arthur.

“Haha…hahaha…!” Arthur laughed crazily upon learning the result, and a tear flowed from his closed eyes and slid down his cheek.

At this moment, he knew that the knife had chosen him, so he laughed out loud.

At this moment, Leia put her hands under his armpits and suddenly lifted him up from Aoshuang.

"You're crazy! How could you do something crazy like that?"

"Why are you hugging me?" Arthur asked Leia's strange behavior with a smile on his face.

"I want to save you!" Leia answered Arthur's question as she laid him on the deck.

"Save me?" Seeing Leia's good intentions, Arthur immediately understood her move.

"Thank you for your kindness."

Leia was curious and stepped forward to touch Aoshuang subconsciously.

When she grasped the handle of the knife and prepared to hold it in her hand, she found that this slender knife was surprisingly heavy.

It was so heavy that she couldn't even lift it with one hand, and her wrist collapsed immediately.

"It's so heavy! How much does this knife weigh?" She had to give up and asked Arthur in shock.

"15 pounds." Arthur stepped forward, kicked the knife into the air with his foot, then picked up the scabbard and held it in front of him.

With a clang, Ao Shuang's sword fell accurately into the scabbard, and he put it away handsomely in front of Leia.

"Return home, return home." After two days of not sleeping, Arthur felt extremely excited because of the new knife.

His appearance, his mother, his aura, as well as his calmness and extraordinary strength, all made Leia more certain that Arthur was not an ordinary person and that he definitely had a terrible life experience.

The Grand Line, Paradise.

Marinford Military Fortress

"What does that fellow Rocks want to do by attacking so many noble families?!"

A meeting organized by the current Navy Marshal is in progress.

The generals, lieutenant generals, major generals, brigadier generals, and all the officers currently in Marinford gathered in the meeting he convened to discuss the strategic countermeasures for the "attack on the aristocratic family."

"Aristocratic families have always been the source of high-quality soldiers and bloodlines for our navy!"

"He launched this attack against the children of the noble families, not just to plunder resources and money, right?"

Several generals started discussing about the recent big commotion caused by the Rocks Pirates around the world.

"Based on his ambition, I'm afraid he wants to sever the relationship between the noble families and the navy. He wants to destroy the bloodlines of the noble families and then weaken the navy's combat effectiveness bit by bit."

This meeting was a secret meeting at the general officer level and was not just about discussing strategy.

More importantly, they wanted to figure out what motivated Rocks to do these things and take the initiative to come up with countermeasures.

Rocks' plan is to gradually weaken the navy, both economically and in terms of the bloodline inheritance of the bureaucratic family.

What he wanted was to destroy the headquarters of the navy and ruin the first great fortress of justice under the Celestial Dragons, Marinford.

In order to realize his ambition to become the king of the world, he destroyed the navy, captured the holy land of Marijoa, and seized power.

He couldn't wait to implement his plan, but he didn't want to wait until the future weakened him with time.

The impact of Rocks' attack on the family continues to ferment around the world.

Oppressed by the nobles, the people refused to submit and rose up in rebellion.

June 1480, 11 in the Haiyuan calendar.

East China Sea.

Two days had passed since Arthur left Frostmoon Village and returned.

It takes about two to three days to reach Shimotsuki Village from Rapeseed Village.

If it is a better sailboat, it only takes about a day.

Coupled with the continuous stormy weather in the past few days, the ship is still drifting hard on the sea.

In the morning, the sea was foggy.

The ship swayed and rocked in the sea.

Arthur, who was holding Leia's body as a pillow, slept particularly comfortably.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes abruptly and looked out the porthole vigilantly.

Kang——! A dull sound of artillery fire rang out for a moment.

The sight of a cannonball breaking through the wooden boards of the ship's side and penetrating directly into the cabin made him quickly hug Cooper and Leia.

The shell exploded at the critical moment, throwing them under the bed while they were sleeping.

There was a loud bang! The flames from the explosion engulfed the cabin.

"Ah!" Leia, who was sleeping soundly, sensed danger and screamed instinctively, waking up instantly.

“Cooper…!” (What happened…!) Cooper, who was pressed down by Arthur, screamed in fear.

The impact and flames of the first shell were neutralized by the bed, allowing them to escape.

As the second shell fell, the two men had no control over their bodies at all. They were dragged by Arthur with clenched teeth, and they broke through the plank and fell into the cold sea.

A raging fire suddenly broke out in the cabin, and smoke drifted into the air.

"Captain Francis! Hahahaha!"

"Where did this fishing boat come from? How dare it come near us!"

On a pirate sailing ship that was about 20 meters long and 10 meters wide.

The pirates on the ship laughed crazily and cheered as they watched the burning boat on the sea ahead.

There is also a huge merchant ship near the pirate ship, and the pirate members are constantly carrying various supplies from it to the deck of the pirate ship.

Captain Francis, a big man about two meters tall, had two pistols on his waist and was wearing a long trench coat.

He stood on the port rail, holding the sail lock, staring solemnly at Arthur's boat, which was burning in flames.

"Hurry up! Kill them all! Move all the valuables onto the boat, and then leave this sea area!"

His orders were deafening, and the men on the ship immediately accelerated the looting.

He didn't want anyone to notice this and tip off the nearby naval base.

Under the sea, Arthur grabbed Cooper and Leia, threw an anchor into the deep sea along the pirate ship and surfaced.

As soon as they surfaced, Cooper and Leia started coughing violently.

"Give me the knife for safekeeping." Arthur handed Aoshuang to Leia and instructed, "Then grab the anchor rope and stay put!"

Arthur was filled with anger and murderous intent. He gave an order to Cooper and Leia, then climbed up along the anchor rope.

Leia didn't know what was going on, but when she saw the burning boat not far away, she did as she was told.

The impact of the explosion of the shells caused her ears to continue to tinnitus, and she was now overwhelmed with fear.

Arthur, soaking wet, climbed up to the stern alone with only a dagger. Looking around, he found that the sides of the two large ships were tightly closed by hooks.

Looking up at the skull and crossbones flag floating on the sail of the ship below him, he analyzed the situation at the scene and roughly knew what had happened.

"Pirates plundering a ship full of supplies?" Arthur was filled with anger and took out a dagger and held it in his right hand. With murderous eyes, he walked towards the deck of the pirate ship step by step.

"It seems that even the East China Sea is not peaceful these days."

Coming alone to the middle deck of the pirate ship, he saw boxes of varying sizes stacked up.

The pirates who were carrying supplies also discovered him at the first opportunity.

When everyone was staring at Arthur in a daze, they saw Arthur suddenly run up to a pirate holding a box with a dagger in his hand and stab him decisively in the throat.

Bang! The pirate instinctively let go of the box before he could do anything. He covered his throat with his hands and fell to the ground, struggling.

"Um!?"

"what!"

"Where did you come from, little brat? How dare you...!"

Arthur said nothing, grabbed the hair of the pirate who was lying on the ground, and cut off his head with one powerful blow.

With great force, he threw it in front of the group of pirates who had not yet reacted.

Seeing the head fall to the ground, the pirates realized the seriousness of the situation. They immediately dropped the supply boxes in their hands, drew the knives at their waists and rushed towards Arthur.

"What have you done, you little brat!"

"Kill him! This damn thing actually killed one of our companions just like that!"

There was a fierce fight and screams of pain from the deck of the pirate ship.

About a few minutes later——!

The screams and sounds of fighting on the deck finally disappeared.

"Cooper, stay here and don't move. I'll go check on Arthur." She said to Cooper.

Cooper stared at her and called softly, "Cooper..." (Arthur clearly told us to stay here and don't move...)

Curious Leia did not follow Arthur's instructions, but climbed up the rope with some worry.

Cooper was still waiting there, and the strong smell of blood entering his nostrils made him feel a little uneasy.

Like Arthur, Leia climbed to the stern and immediately saw the pirate flag pattern on the sail.
