Chapter 454 Leaving
Love is inexplicable, love is eternal at first sight.
Love is sudden, without any reason or sign.
Some people have this special physique and suddenly fall in love with someone at first sight.
Arthur patted his stomach after eating. He was about 50% full and felt a little refreshed.
He said to the guards outside the cell, "Please give the remaining food to my companions. They usually eat more than this."
"What do you think this place is!" The guard shouted at Arthur after hearing what he said. "Why would a guard agree to your prisoner's request?"
"Don't mind it!" Arthur continued to persuade him, "Your deputy captain has brought me food, but you won't let my companions eat their fill and die of gluttony?"
"..." The guard was speechless and looked towards the room where Cooper and Fat Tiger were imprisoned.
They had fought through the wall all night and were now too tired to move in the cell.
Since the second-in-command had delivered the food personally, they simply divided the remaining food equally among Arthur's companions.
"His eyes aren't so lustful... but affectionate!?" Leia was in the cage opposite Arthur, observing his expression.
He looked deeply affectionate and devoted, nothing like the lecherous person he had been before.
"Think carefully, what am I being affectionate about?" Arthur reminded him, "Who does the woman I kissed look like?"
Leia ate her food, remembering carefully.
Suddenly, she froze.
Wasn't the makeup and clothing of that beautiful woman just now exactly the same as the one Arthur had personally painted in his studio a few days ago?!
"Wait! Arthur, are those people you drew real?!" she asked in shock and curiosity.
"Why else would I draw them?"
That night, Arthur chatted calmly with these women.
It no longer makes people feel so lonely, but rather approachable and able to interact with anyone.
In the eyes of the guards, they were just prisoners to be executed.
What's wrong with getting the second-in-command's appreciation and chatting with him?
morning.
The Kingdom of Women, in the Emperor's Palace.
After finishing her state affairs, Xia Qi sat in the emperor's chair and played with Arthur's knife.
"It's heavier than an ordinary knife."
Feeling the texture and quality of the scabbard, the knowledgeable her quickly recognized that it was made of the World Tree.
"Ao Shuang? Is that the name of this knife?" Xia Qi was a little surprised, and slowly pulled it out by gripping the handle.
The knife marks and markings on the blade left her stunned. She had never seen such a knife before.
In one word, "beautiful". Just holding it in your hand, you will want to own this knife immediately and make it yours.
While Xia Qi was admiring Arthur's sword, Toritoma strode towards them outside the palace.
"Sister! Can you please let him go? Look, we have no casualties, only a corner of the deck is damaged!
Besides, he's only six years old! He's not even an adult yet! And the pets around him are...so cute!"
Toritoma strode over and immediately begged for mercy from Xia Qi for Arthur.
She didn't know why she did this, but there was an unspeakable feeling in her heart that made her so reckless.
The knife and the scabbard were closed together. Xia Qi put away the knife and looked at her sister seriously.
As the second-in-command of the Kingdom of Women and the vice-captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates.
She didn't expect that Toritoma, whom she had watched grow up, would fall in love with someone without any signs or preparation.
I don't even know who Arthur is, what his background is, or what his character is like.
She is even more foolish and naive than the previous emperor.
"Did you go to see him last night?" Xia Qi asked her. Seeing her absent-minded look, she felt very worried.
"No...no!" Toritoma lied and denied it, stammering to explain.
"I…just brought him some food."
"Silly sister, I'm talking to you!" Xia Qi saw her look like a nymphomaniac and held her forehead.
"You're the victim. He forced a kiss on you! Why do you still care about his life or death?
Even if we want to like someone, we in the Nine Snakes Pirates must admire powerful, influential, and helpful people.
Look at your older sister, Guloliosa, isn't she just like that? First she fell in love with Roger, became lovesick, then fell in love with Jibek, and was cured of her lovesickness!
He's a strong man, but you... like a little brat!"
"Sister Xia Qi, don't you think he is not strong?" Toritoma asked back.
This made Xia Qi stunned on the spot. Just from the collision with Rayleigh, it was obvious that the stalemate was not caused by Arthur's good luck or accidental reason.
Not only is he strong, he's also very handsome! Most importantly, he's only 6 years old and has a bright future ahead of him!
"Then let's do this!" Seeing that Toritoma was determined and wanted to let Arthur go, Xia Qi suggested,
"In a couple of days, after I'm done with state affairs, I'll arrange for him to be tested in the duel arena! When he faces death, you'll be able to judge by his behavior whether he's someone worthy of your longing, okay?"
"Thank you, sister!" After hearing the plan, Toritoma threw himself into Xia Qi's arms and gave her a sweet hug.
"Okay, okay!" Xia Qi felt her sister's affection and said to her,
"Don't be like Guroliosa, abandoning your country and its people in pursuit of so-called love! Only a fool would do that!"
Hearing this, Toritoma's face changed drastically and he looked down on her.
"Sister, you still have the nerve to say that to her! You brought the man to the country yourself!"
Xia Qi was speechless and tried to refute, "I just...! I'm not...! Why are you lecturing me!?"
The two sisters began to chase and fight in the power supply, talking about men, love and so on.
The guards were so upset when they heard this.
In the past two days, whenever Toritoma felt chest tightness, shortness of breath, and hot body, he would go to the state prison to visit Arthur in person.
She found that every time she visited Arthur, her symptoms would improve a lot.
This also became an interesting thing during Arthur's stay here.
Two days later, at noon.
After receiving treatment, Rayleigh came to visit him in prison, stood outside the cell where he was imprisoned, and looked at Arthur who was sleeping inside.
"Before, that cold power, in essence, was the domineering color that could counter my move, right?" Rayleigh looked at Arthur, recalling the domineering collision yesterday.
Even he didn't expect that a newcomer could take such a move from him and sleep so soundly the next day.
"The news about the navy is not exaggerated. The ocean has welcomed a new superman!"
Rayleigh looked at Arthur, and suddenly saw him open his eyes and stare at him.
"The famous Silvers Rayleigh, what are you doing here looking for me?"
"You are not ordinary. Your name is Arthur?" Rayleigh talked to Arthur with a faint smile on his face.
"Is it time for the introduction again?" Arthur stretched lazily.
"I think I've been here long enough. It's almost time to go."
"This country is holding a duel tournament to judge you, and you must accept challenges wave after wave until you are recognized by the people of the country. Only then can you stop."
Arthur had heard this news from Toritoma and the guards a long time ago.
He stood up and walked to the iron railing to confront Rayleigh outside.
"Will you join? I'm looking forward to a good fight with you, seriously!"
Rayleigh was a little shocked. Since the other party knew his name, he should also know what it meant to challenge him.
The man known as "Pluto" will send all challengers to the underworld with a one-way ticket without hesitation.
He carefully observed Arthur's expression. He didn't seem to be joking. The heat and desire in his eyes and the rebellious smile on his lips showed that he was serious.
"Looking at you, let's just forget it!" Arthur suddenly smiled and tried to smooth things over for him. "You're injured. If I accidentally win, it would be unfair and would also damage your reputation."
Compared to playing house, Arthur is better at life-and-death fights, which can maximize the development of his body.
The purpose of coming here has been achieved, and there is no need to hurt others.
Besides, he really couldn't beat Rayleigh right now, so he shouldn't go looking for a fight.
"What is your reason for attacking the forces under the Rocks Pirates?" Rayleigh smiled and did not respond to Arthur's challenge.
His intuition based on years of knowing people told him that Arthur was not a bad person, so he should just treat what he just said as a joke.
Instead, he asked about the reasons for the conflict between him and the forces under Rocks.
"Reasons?" Arthur laughed arrogantly. "If you say I have one, I have one now! If you say I don't, I'm just purely pursuing battle!"
According to analysis, the Gion family was most likely harmed by forces or members under the Rocks Pirates.
Isn't that reason enough? However, Gion might not even know him yet, so he was just looking for trouble.
……
New World, G6 Naval Base.
Military training ground, break time.
Gion, who joined the navy and immediately began training in combat skills, was holding an overseas newspaper at the playground stand.
"Arthur, the new pirate who's famous for killing members of the Rocks Pirates' pattern...?"
……
Beehive, inside the skull.
Rocks also learned that part of the base in the first half of the Grand Line had been destroyed.
We are discussing countermeasures with the cadres.
"A newcomer with Domineering Haki?! A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, how brave! Hahahaha!"
Shiqi was smoking a cigar and laughing in the room, then he looked at Rocks who had a heavy face.
"What should we do? Should we use force to suppress this newcomer and force him to submit?"
Locke read the newspaper, frowning and serious.
"We're running out of time to plan! I don't have the patience to train another new kid. Send one of the stronger lower-level guys to the front half to take him out."
Having just defeated the Roger Pirates who had hindered his plans, it would take them at least a year to regroup.
During this time, Rocks must devote all his energy to preparing a plan to destroy the navy and the holy land.
As long as he becomes the "King of the World", what else in the world can move him?
……
Amazon Lily, in the Kingdom of Women.
Countless citizens gathered in the audience seats of the duel arena and cheered.
In the dueling arena below, Arthur and his group were handcuffed and escorted to the dueling arena by the guards.
Besides Arthur, there are Fat Tiger, Cooper, and Leia beside him.
The three men felt as if they had entered a barbarian tribe and were taken to the execution ground.
"Cooper!" (Think of a solution quickly!) Cooper kept flapping his wings on Arthur's back, extremely anxious.
"Are we... going to die here?" Leia's face was filled with fear, her nerves tense and she looked around vigilantly.
Fat Tiger sighed like a tiger, as if he had accepted his fate.
In order to prevent Arthur from using the power of the devil fruit, his hands were still handcuffed with seastone handcuffs.
A group of female gladiators wearing armor and holding shields and swords soon entered the duel arena.
They have well-developed muscles and seem to be born for bloody performances.
