Chapter 482: Beehive Island! A sudden change in temperament

This unintentional action made Leia's eyes widen.

Arthur has been spending more and more time alone lately.

Sometimes I would stay in the captain's room for a whole day.

And I just lay on the sofa all day, staring at the ceiling.

He also pulled out the knife called "Ao Shuang" and held it tightly in his hand. No one knew what he was thinking, but he gave her an evil look for no apparent reason.

Every time he encounters a battle with pirates, the cruelty he displays is inconsistent with his usual lifestyle.

"He seemed to have told me that he had a problem?"

Leia thought to herself, and suddenly remembered what Arthur said when he asked her to be a maid.

Every time he fights, he's like a different person, like he's releasing stress and enjoying the process.

It seemed as if he himself was killing, and human lives were harvested easily by him as if they were worthless.

"Cooper, little servant." Arthur spoke in a serious tone.

"Carry Fat Tiger to Rocky Harbor and use first aid supplies on board to treat his injuries.

It is best to leave the port as well, that is an order."

"Okay!" Leia and Cooper tried their best to carry Fat Tiger away. Although they didn't know what Arthur was going to do, an order was an order.

After giving the order, Arthur took the suitcase from Leia and looked at Shaqi, who was only 25 years old and at the peak of her beauty, with a playful and provocative look.

Xia Qi's face showed confusion about his behavior, as if she felt greatly insulted.

How long has it been since you first met?

How could you be so rude now?

"Arthur, what are you doing?" Xia Qi caught the fourth stack of Baileys, frowned her beautiful eyes, and asked him.

"I don't know..." Arthur picked up the fifth stack of bills, "I suddenly feel that ordinary life is good and peaceful.

But this tranquility made all the pain I had experienced very repulsive, telling me that I did not belong in this environment."

Xia Qi had no idea what Arthur was talking about.

What pain?

What experience?

What kind of experience could he have when he was only 6 years old?

The eyes that suddenly dimmed and the smile that looked a little crazy didn't seem to be fake.

"What are you talking about? I can use my connections to get your pet treated." Xia Qi responded to Arthur, "Don't be so nervous all of a sudden."

Arthur looked around and murmured, "It's too late."

"Ah?" Xia Qi was startled. "What do you mean it's late?"

At this moment, Xia Qi had no idea that Arthur, who was staring at her, was planning something in his mind.

A righteous plan to take her for himself.

He had been thinking for the past few months, playing dumb, and wandering around like a soulless man.

During these two years, the joy of rebirth gradually faded from his mind.

Live a carefree life, the kind of life you wanted in your previous life, and be the person you wanted to be.

He suddenly felt that this kind of adventure, this kind of daily routine was extremely boring.

Such a quality environment!

Longed for a peaceful life!

An ordinary life where he doesn't have to worry about anything and has endless money to spend is actually not what he wants at all.

The environment in his previous life shaped him.

Killing, killing, slaughtering, fighting, fighting, fighting, endless fighting, has made it impossible for him to escape from that environment.

These thoughts had long affected Arthur.

He simply couldn't accept the absence of fighting and killing.

The reason why he looked bloody as reported in the newspapers was that he was venting his patience.

What was the meaning of killing so many people in the previous life?

After traveling through time, he suffered so much and ultimately fought to the death.

After rebirth, do I have to follow the cycle of this world again?

If you want something, you have to follow the rules.

Are we going to repeat the same mistakes?

And then fall into an infinite loop?

He now knew what he was looking for.

Except for family members and partners.

What he has always wanted to pursue is to become the "king" of this world!

Now, he can do it another way, a less extreme way.

Due to his experiences in his previous life, he became overly extreme and did not consider the psychological limits of those around him, which led to the tragedy of his daughter's suicide.

"I've been thinking about this these days!" Arthur pointed at Xia Qi with the money.

"Why was my life so miserable before? Why was everything going wrong?

I have been bound by my own pain and principles for too long!

I should grab what I want! I should plunder it with my strength! I should seize it by force!

Instead of obeying some bullshit rules and silently enduring pain!"

Arthur held his forehead.

It seemed like he had grown tired of all this, the pirate house game, a long time ago.

However, the joy brought to him by his rebirth was hard to suppress, making him briefly want to leave the past behind and start a new life.

But this is really too difficult.

He simply couldn't let go of the past.

"It's incomprehensible. I have guests to attend to." Xia Qi threw the money in her arms to the ground when she saw Arthur's incomprehensible words. Her expectations and good impression of him disappeared instantly.

“I don’t know what you’re doing on this island, but for Toritoma’s sake, please leave as soon as possible.

You've killed so many of Rocks' men at sea recently. If he sees you in person, it won't end well."

She had seen too many talented newcomers fall at the hands of powerful people on their way to success, and she didn't want the guy Tori Toma liked to be killed.

Besides, Rocks himself, Malone, Ganzi, and Golden Lion are drinking in the bar now.

Although other cadres are carrying out missions overseas, Rocks alone in charge of Hatchinos is enough to deter everything.

"I forgive you for your behavior just now!" Xia Qi turned her back to Arthur and waved goodbye.

"It's been so long since we last met, and the impression you make on me has really changed... huh... huh?"

Her fair and tender wrist was suddenly grabbed. She turned around and found Arthur standing behind her with a dim look in his eyes and a smile on his face.

Arthur asked her, "Will you please invite me in for a drink?"

You were a little crazy just now, how come you changed your face so quickly?

Looking at Arthur, who was extremely indifferent and suddenly full of hostility, Xia Qi narrowed her eyes and asked doubtfully,

"What the hell is wrong with you?"

"I really want to kidnap you... Xia Qi... My life shouldn't continue to cycle through suffering."

"Ah?" Xia Qi was startled again, and suddenly realized something from Arthur's words.

All she could think of was something like "mental disorder".

After all, a person has to change his personality to make people feel like another person in such a short period of time, unless he is an actor.

Arthur doesn't look like an actor at all, he looks more like a madman.

Xia Qi pulled his wrist back and warned him, "Didn't you hear what I just said?"

"I heard you." Arthur replied calmly, "As for Rocks, I've already killed him once, so there's nothing to be afraid of."

Hearing this, Xia Qi was stunned for a full minute.

The woman's sixth sense told her that Arthur was hiding many secrets.

maybe.

Maybe he is just a little boy who has never seen the real world and can only fantasize.

But now connect it with what he just said about "suffering" and "experience".

It seems that it is not that simple.

"Whatever you want, Arthur." Xia Qi walked into her bar without looking at Arthur again.

"Don't blame me for not warning you. As for kidnapping me, I refuse. I don't belong to anyone, and you don't have the charm that I would be attracted to."

"Like what?" Arthur smiled again.

"Not in any way! Your current behavior makes my previous impression of you very vague."

"Oh? Really?" Arthur didn't care at all and shouted loudly.

"Just because I became unscrupulous? Just because I suddenly destroyed the image I had in your eyes before?"

"Anyway, I'm disgusted by the way you look now," Xia Qi replied.

"Okay." Arthur pouted, somewhat helplessly, "Then I'll be a little more normal.

So, do you know the whereabouts of Gil Bastar? "

After returning to the bar, Xia Qi glanced at Rocks who was enjoying his wine in the corner and replied,

"I'm out doing some work for Rocks. I don't know the exact location."

"Then he must know, right?" Arthur walked into the bar and sat on the bar stool, his eyes automatically locked on the group of people in the corner.

Rocks, with black and white hair, leather pants and a naked upper body, was also looking at him.

Yakudo Shiki.

Ma Long, the boss of the West Sea gang.

There is also Ganzi, the boss who controls the underground dark world.

And the young Kaido, whom he now hated to the core, was standing next to the wine table with a mace, watching him like a security guard.

"Is this your acquaintance? Xia Qi!" Rocks took the initiative to greet her.

"Really... he looks so delicate! Even though he's a man."

"The aura he exudes is very dangerous! Rocks!" Kaido said after looking at Arthur.

From the moment he entered the bar, the whole bar became unusually cold.

The hot weather feels like winter, which is creepy.

Knowing that Shaqi didn't know the whereabouts of Gil Bastar, Arthur climbed onto the bar, approached her, inhaled her scent, and commented,

"Hmm...it smells really good, a refreshing medicinal scent."

Seeing Arthur like this, Xia Qi kept a charming smile on her face, but was completely speechless in her heart.

What's the difference between this and those guys out there who are after her beauty?

She actually thought this kind of person was pretty good before.

Now it seems that I misjudged him.

"What are you looking for Bastar for, kid?" Rocks saw Arthur's actions and became very interested in him. He asked,

"Is that you in the photo? Arthur, the bounty is 20 million baileys.

I heard that you killed many of my men in the Grand Line. What was your purpose?"

"I can kill a bunch of ants who are blocking my way."

Arthur kept staring at Xia Qi, admiring her appearance, and responded to Rocks,

"It's like, I was walking down the street, and a bunch of people appeared for no reason and blocked my way, so I just killed them."

"I'll take care of it, Rocks!" Kaido couldn't stand seeing Arthur being so arrogant, so he took the mace and took the initiative to step forward to teach him a lesson.

"Come on, Kaido!" Rocks cheered him on.

"Wine?" Xia Qi curled her lips and stared at Arthur speechlessly.

"Or juice?"

"Brandy! I've been wanting to drink something fruity lately."

Arthur ordered some wine, not caring about Kaido approaching him.

He had spared this guy's life many times, but he didn't expect to be killed by him when he was at his weakest after dealing with Im.

"Haha." Thinking of this, Arthur laughed out loud inadvertently.

It seemed like he had brought all the suffering on himself in his previous life.
