Chapter 497: The Kingdom of Flowers! Expelling Guests
March 1483, 3 in the Haiyuan calendar.
In the capital of the Kingdom of Flowers, in the royal palace.
Young Ramen and the eight commanders of the Babao Navy were holding a meeting in the palace.
From the first treasure to the eighth treasure, all the leaders knelt on the ground and worshipped the king on the throne.
"You, the Eight Treasures Navy, have been loyal to the Flower Kingdom for... how many years?"
The king asked the eight leaders tentatively.
One treasure is the biggest, and eight treasures are the smallest.
Naturally, the strong, weak and backup are ranked in the same way.
"Your Majesty! It has been one thousand two hundred years!" Chief Yibao bowed his head and reported.
"It's really long." Ramen couldn't help but sigh when he learned this number.
"We have lost control of the West Sea for over a thousand years."
"We believe in your majesty's ability and hope to restore the grand cause of our ancestors!" Leader Erbao bowed his head, his tone sonorous and powerful.
"Your Majesty is young. One day, you will definitely lead the Flower Kingdom to become the overlord of the West Sea again!" said the Sanbao leader.
"The Flower Nation is now at its peak! If Your Majesty so desires, the Eight Treasures Navy will surely fulfill its mission and march in all directions to complete Your Majesty's unification!"
The eldest, second and third brothers spoke one after another, and these words made Ramen feel superior and vain.
However, this call was not for this almost impossible task.
"I feel much more relieved after hearing what you said." Ramen said with a satisfied smile.
"Get up, I'm calling you here for something else."
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" Chief Yibao stood up and asked Ramen.
Ramen's eyes narrowed as he looked at Chief Yibao, "These days, there's a rumor among the people that an uninvited guest has arrived in the country and is active in the southern port city."
"Your Majesty, are you talking about that super newcomer on the sea?" Chief Yibao knew about this and confirmed with the king.
"That's right!" Ramen's tone suddenly became louder, with a hint of worry.
"The Beehive incident has become known to everyone in the world! That guy has become the number one public enemy hunted by the Rocks Pirates!
Although piracy is legal in our country, this kind of trouble should be directed elsewhere."
Ramen said something with a sharp look, and he glanced at the Babao water army, then calmed down.
"For the safety of the country, you know what to do, right?"
The eight people understood and replied in unison,
"Understood, Your Majesty!"
"Remember, don't let the country suffer any losses. Try to ask him to leave peacefully." Ramen instructed.
He knew very well how powerful the combat capabilities of the leaders of the Babao Navy were.
Each leader is proficient in domineering power and the Ba Chong Quan martial arts passed down from their ancestors.
If a disturbance really breaks out in an important city, it will be a devastating disaster.
After receiving the order, several people set off immediately.
……
In the morning, in the southern part of the city, there was an underground, unregulated fight.
Arthur, still reeking of alcohol, was swaying his body, trying to dodge punches.
He was wearing the navy cap that Gion gave him and just kept dodging.
"Damn it! Don't you know how to do anything else besides hiding?!"
"Don't think so! Why do you think we couldn't touch him?"
"This guy is terrifyingly strong. From the beginning of the fight till now, no one has even touched the edge of his clothes."
In the huge iron cage of the unregulated fight, those who were so tired that they collapsed on the ground were foaming at the mouth and fainted.
Only a few men, so exhausted that their lungs were about to explode, were still struggling to hold on.
"Go! Kill them!" Arthur saw how miserable they were and when he had almost exhausted all his strength, he threw Cooper off his shoulder.
"Cooper!" (Wing Slash!)
Cooper flew towards the group of men at high speed, spinning and flapping his wings in the air.
The shockwaves hit them right on the forehead.
The exhausted contestant fell to the ground and fainted.
The audience on the stage cheered, they didn't expect that the two unfavored prey could easily kill the others.
"After that life-and-death escape, has Cooper been able to unleash a weak wave of the Storm Kick Slash?" Arthur analyzed happily as he saw Cooper's growth.
Even the weak impact of the Lan Kick can be fatal to those who are not very strong.
You know, with a slight swing of Lan's foot, a building several dozen meters high can be cut in half.
"Cool!" After knocking down everyone, Cooper spread his wings and looked at the audience in the stands cheering for them, enjoying the feeling of being admired.
No one in the ring where Arthur was was killed, all of them were in a state of severe coma.
……
After participating in the competition, Arthur returned to the surface from the underground unregulated fighting event.
I saw the old man who had trained slaves a few days ago, cursing at the young man who was lying on the ground covered in blood.
He stopped and looked into the distance.
After a while, the seemingly gentle old man stepped on Feng a few times and left without looking back.
Afterwards, Arthur leaned over.
"Hehe..." Feng's body was bleeding, and he smiled at Arthur who suddenly appeared in front of him.
"It must be funny, right? He treated me so well when he bought me, supervising my training every day, and now that I've failed, he's ruthlessly abandoned me."
"He's just a beast in human form." Arthur responded expressionlessly.
"It's just the way things are, kid."
Arthur looked at Feng as if he were a rat in a dark alley.
"The end of being a slave?" Feng laughed again, "It doesn't matter... I have nothing anyway."
Seeing the children at the Children's Palace closing their eyes in compromise, Arthur often wondered where he would be now if he didn't have such a physique and a second chance at life?
A void of darkness, without any concept of time, space, or even any consciousness.
Or was he like the young man in front of him, kicked to death in the alley like a dog on the side of the road?
"Cooper?" (What do you say, Arthur? Go back or save his life?)
Arthur touched the navy hat given by Gion, stared at Feng on the ground, then took off the hat and turned away.
"No, I just saw the end of an ordinary person. It's impossible for me to have any sympathy or pity for him."
Arthur left with a blank expression. If he had been naive in his previous life, he would have taken this person with him to realize some exciting adventures and bonds.
But he is no longer childish, and having such an ordinary person around would only add more burdens.
Leia could at least be admired and played with like a toy, so what did he want with a useless ordinary person around him?
He has no talent, is not strong enough, and is just a weakling who can only accept his fate and let it go.
Leaving the dark alley, Arthur returned to the city and found eight figures watching him in the dark along the way.
After he noticed it, he walked towards the less crowded beach.
On the rooftops of the block, the eight leaders of the Babao Navy were very surprised.
"Hey, it seems we've been spotted."
"It's not simple." Yibao leader analyzed Arthur's amazing perception and vigilance.
"As expected of him escaping from that guy. He didn't even use his Haki to find us."
"It's definitely him, brothers." Qingjiao took Arthur's reward and observed his facial features and appearance.
"The brat who was dubbed the Ice Sword Master by the Navy."
