Chapter 51: Massacre of the Nation! Barrett Goes Wild!

The hatch opened quickly and Arthur ran out quickly.

"Cooper?" (Why are you bleeding, Arthur?) Cooper asked curiously when he saw Arthur's nose bleeding.

She didn't look uncomfortable, and her face was blushing.

"Nothing, I've just been feeling a little irritated lately." Arthur discovered that self-restraint was nothing compared to indulgence.

The warship sailed for several days -

Arrive at Jarzburg Kingdom Dock.

In the morning, the sun rises.

Arthur stood on the sail net and looked at the heavily polluted national port in the distance.

At first glance, people's livelihood is very poor.

They are all heavy industrial factories.

"I'm going to kill you, you damn little brat." Zai, whose injuries had recovered slightly, ran angrily to the bottom deck where Arthur was.

He kept cursing at Arthur above him.

"What did you do to Natalie? She's been a little... distant from me these days... you bastard!"

That day, he vaguely remembered that as soon as he regained some consciousness from his near-death state, he saw Natalie with her upper body naked, and then he fainted from anger.

She had only an uncertain memory of the day Arthur asked Natalie to take off her armor.

"You didn't do anything. Just blame yourself for not being able to control a woman, okay?" Arthur gave him a cold look and ignored him completely.

As long as he finishes this big order, he can leave the Navy and find his own life and freedom.

"You're talking nonsense. Don't think I believe you. Natalie usually doesn't distance herself from me... Today she actually rejected my request."

As the warship docked, Arthur ignored him and led his troops to the Garzburg military base.

Meet a military captain named "Douglas".

The arrival of the navy made the already poor people stay away and voluntarily make way for the army led by Arthur to go to the military base.

The Kingdom of Jarzburg, one of many nations that built a giant island.

"The Navy is coming?!"

In the military camp, a middle-aged man learned of the arrival of the navy and immediately summoned all his troops to welcome them.

Jarzburg State, outside the gate of the military base.

A group of soldiers dressed in black uniforms and full of murderous aura looked at a group of marines coming slowly in the distance.

"Strange? Why are they all wearing black uniforms?" Arthur came here along the road and found that the other party's uniforms were completely opposite to those of the navy.

"Arthur! If you don't tell me what happened that day, I will never forgive you." Zai continued to ask beside Arthur: "Natalie and I have been childhood sweethearts since we were young. We were on the same island and trained in the same CP academy. She has never been so cold to me."

Natalie said nothing when she heard these words. She followed Arthur silently with her brows lowered grimly.

She still remembered what happened that day vividly, and couldn't believe that she would obey the words of this little brat in front of her...

I couldn't believe that I would actually remove the armor of a lowly marine...

Bang! Arthur punched Zai and sent him flying, so that he wouldn't keep nagging.

"Shut up, you're making me sound like an NTR male protagonist, are you sick?" Arthur cursed at him.

Commander Douglas was dumbfounded by the act of punching his subordinate away.

Standing behind Douglas, the blond boy, who was about three or four meters tall, squinted his eyes and looked at Arthur.

"How about it? No. 9 Bullet, what do you think of him?" Douglas deliberately looked at him and asked.

"Very strong, but there is a big gap between us." Bullet No. 9 responded to his army captain.

Big gap?

Hearing this, Douglas' eyes showed a hint of loss, as if he was still frightened.

He dedicated his entire life to the country of Jarzburg, but he never expected that the title of war hero would be snatched away by the kid he personally trained.

This time, the biggest purpose of recruiting the navy is to assassinate Bullet No. 9 silently during the war.

Make yourself the absolute hero of Jarzburg and possess absolute power.

"Really? You're the best, Barrett." Douglas praised him using No. 9 Bullet's real name.

Barrett suddenly asked, "This mission is over. I hope you will keep your promise to return my freedom, Captain."

His tone was very cold, as if he didn't trust anyone.

The reason was that he had been betrayed by his comrades on the battlefield, and his achievements and medals had been taken away by others.

"One of the mission targets has appeared..." Natalie, who was following behind Arthur, turned her attention to Barrett.

The two teams came together, and she watched Arthur and Douglas talking, thinking:

"What a burly guy, is he really only 14 years old? War hero, No. 9 Bullet, Douglas Barrett."

Natalie recalled that one of the target persons on the mission document, in addition to delivering the huge mission reward given by the State of Jarzburg, another target mission was to assassinate the big guy in front of her.

Arthur was not aware of the assassination mission, which was exclusive to their CP intelligence personnel.

But now, standing in front of Barrett, she felt a chill spread throughout her body.

It's a feeling of the weak looking up to the strong.

The dazzling light illuminates the earth.

In front of the gate of the military base, Arthur, who was having a pleasant conversation with Army Captain Douglas, was immediately arranged to attend a meeting to discuss launching a foreign war.

At the military meeting of the Kingdom of Jarzburg.

"What? Give the assets of a small country as a reward for this mission? How much will that be?"

After hearing about the reward money, Arthur was shocked and slammed his hands on the table and asked Captain Douglas.

"About 200 billion Baileys. The conditions are simple. Help us conquer three neighboring countries, and the smallest one will be completely taken away by the navy and government."

Douglas tells the story.

"Two hundred billion Beli... Whitebeard only has five billion Beli, which is equivalent to forty of the strongest men in the world in the future." Arthur sat down from the conference table, biting his fingers as he thought while feeling itchy all over.

Such a huge amount of money...it was the first time he heard of it.

No wonder there are government spies here, it turns out it’s all for this…

"Let's start the war, quickly...what are we going to do?" Arthur couldn't wait to see the huge sum of money.

Seeing Arthur's look, Douglas began to doubt whether the purpose of hiring them this time was clear.

The prerequisite is to transfer the title of hero of Jarzburg to his own title... and he also needs to kill Barrett behind him.

"Just assist in the battle, haha... It's great to be young, Major." Army Captain Douglas reluctantly catered to Arthur's mood.

He began to doubt whether the navy sent by the army had the ability to assassinate Barrett.

Throughout the entire meeting, Barrett remained highly alert, vaguely sensing that there was an obvious intention directed against him.

boom--!

Suddenly, a gunshot broke the silence in the meeting room.

A high-speed spinning bullet broke through the window and, without anyone being prepared, shot straight into the forehead of No. 9 Bullet Barrett.

"Huh?" Arthur, who was lying on the table and talking with Douglas about the reward, turned around and looked at the bullet.

In the world of slow prediction using his Observation Haki, he gradually widened his eyes and understood the trajectory of the bullet.

It was the tall man standing behind Captain Douglas’ army in front of him, Douglas Barrett.

"Who fired the gun!" Arthur turned off his Observation Haki, and time returned to normal speed. He immediately looked towards the shattered glass window.

Under the glaring sun, he couldn't see the figure clearly.

"Uh..." Barrett, who was hit by a bullet, used his armament skin to cover his skull and blocked the bullet.

Seeing this, Captain Douglas was furious: "I didn't tell you to take action now, bastards, are you obsessed with money?"

Douglas realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body. He turned around and looked at Barrett, who was covering his head with a look of discomfort on his face.

When he was about to say something in a panic, he heard the innocent and confused Barrett's question:

"What's going on? Army commander... this bullet doesn't look like an assassination attempt on you."

Arthur rushed to the window and opened it violently, only then could he see the figure clearly: "Disaster, it's you!"

“我想起来了，那天我们协同暗杀你失败后，你让我心爱的女人脱掉衣服给你观赏！”受尽委屈得不到答案的灾，在刚才被揍飞那一刻，回想起了一切。

"No, you assassinated me, why should you have any reason to talk?" Arthur felt it was outrageous...

Just as he was about to argue, he suddenly felt a murderous intent behind him. He subconsciously turned around, grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist, and said to Cooper on his shoulder:

"Get up into the air, Cooper! Don't come down without my order."

When Cooper jumped out of the window and flew into the sky.

Bang! Zai pulled the trigger of the sniper rifle in his hand and shot it.

The iron-hardened frontal wings blocked the bullet, and Cooper flew in the sky with a shocked look on his face.

I couldn't believe that a comrade on a ship would shoot at me.

"Cooper!" (What are you doing!) It became furious on the spot and swooped down towards Zai who was crouching high outside the conference room window and kicked him in the head.

Boom!

Cooper struck with all his strength, smashing the roof of the building where Zai was on the spot, grabbing Zai's body and pressing it under his claws, and smashing it straight to the ground.

For a moment, the national soldiers and 800 marines outside the base were completely out of control.

Caught in a conflict—

"Answer me! What's going on...Captain!" Douglas' emotions gradually collapsed. In front of everyone, he picked up the man who raised him and served as cannon fodder in the war and held him in his hand.

"Barrett, you... misunderstood... that bullet was aimed at me," Douglas explained.

But what he didn't know was that with the sight of Observation Haki, he could clearly detect the trajectory and target of the bullet attack.

"You're lying!" Barrett grabbed Army Captain Douglas' neck with his palms.

"Ahem..." Douglas, who was treated like this, could no longer pretend and began to confess: "I lied? Barrett... You don't really think that I would be happy for you after you became a national hero, right?"

"I have dedicated my entire life to the country of Jarzburg, and have been tempered in war all my life, but in the end, you, the one I trained with my own hands, have robbed me of my title as a hero!"

Barrett, who was betrayed once again, was completely disheartened and strangled Douglas, who raised him, to death with his bare hands.

"Money! My money!" Arthur looked at Douglas with his neck twisted into a knot, feeling extremely distressed. He looked at Barrett sternly and shouted, "What did you do! Two hundred billion Baileys, damn it!"

Then he looked at everyone in the conference room with murderous intent: "Damn it, he actually wanted to join forces with the navy to frame me...! All the creatures in this country, die!!"

"My freedom is so close, why won't you let me go!"

The furious Barrett said this, and he flashed in front of Natalie like a fierce dragon, and punched her with his huge steel fist.

"I..." When Natalie reacted, she saw Barrett's huge fist wearing a white glove less than 0.01 meter away from her.

boom!

The horrific blow landed on Natalie, tearing her body apart with the punch, and spurting a large amount of blood onto the nearby wall.

"The learning materials I just tamed...!" Arthur was extremely distressed when he saw this. When he reached out to save Natalie, Barrett's super-fast flashing figure immediately appeared in front of him.

"What the hell did you do!" Arthur quickly drew his knife and chopped at Barrett's fist.

Barrett, sensing that Arthur was different from the others, instantly wrapped his fist with domineering aura, ready to kill.

The moment the ice dragon's blade collided with his fist, Arthur's body was blasted from the conference room to the town outside the military base like a meteor.

boom--!

Arthur's figure turned into a sound barrier in mid-air and suddenly fell straight to the ground.

“Ahem…” He quickly got up and glanced at the people around him who didn’t know what was going on. “What happened to his fist? It felt like a force of air had penetrated my whole body. My internal organs hurt so much…!”

"Everything in this country will be destroyed!!"

A domineering aura that shocked the sea and the sky emanated from Barrett's body.

Anger took over his consciousness, he was completely out of control and running wild, with only endless killing in his mind.

The Shura-like domineering aura of the king spread across the entire country, and then, like a flood, purple inorganic objects washed away everything from the island to the surrounding areas.

The nation’s people and army were instantly overwhelmed, and could only be suffocated to death by being trapped in the encirclement.

"Kuber!" (What are you doing to me, you bastard, you bastard human!)

When Arthur heard Cooper's voice, he immediately ran towards it and found that it was stomping on Zai's head frantically to vent its anger.

Zai saw Arthur coming and laughed at him while being stepped on, saying, "It's all your fault."

"Ridiculous, you want to kill me, but I can't fight back against you? Do you really think I'm an easy kid to be bullied?" Arthur put away his knife, grabbed Cooper and Disaster with one hand, and used the Moon Step to bounce into the air and overlook the ground below.

At a glance, the entire country was submerged in the purple inorganic body released from Barrett's body.

"Although we are emotionless killing tools, you are simply not a human being!" Zai continued to curse at Arthur:

"Don't worry, that guy named Barrett is a real cold-blooded monster who has been trained on the battlefield since he was a child."

"The government gave Natalie and me character information. You definitely can't beat him."

"I have just reported to the government the information about your harm to the army. Even if you survive, you will be tried by the government and the navy."

Arthur was so angry when he heard these words that veins on his forehead were clenched. He loosened the collar of his white suit and threw him into the flowing inorganic object below, and responded:

"At least you have to die first."
