Chapter 59 Bounty!
Sengoku witnessed Arthur threatening the lives of civilians on Judicial Island and escaping from Judicial Island. Sengoku had no way to deal with him at all.
He looked at Arthur who was gradually disappearing from his sight, took out a Den Den Mushi from his body, and contacted the Navy Headquarters to issue a bounty for Arthur.
"Arthur, even if you escape to the sea, you will live in fear all your life!"
He never thought that at Arthur's age, when faced with the threat of a powerful person, he would choose to decisively reject him.
I thought that Zhan Guo thought Arthur would fall into his own scheme, but I didn't expect that he would see through his intentions.
……
After escaping from Judicial Island, Arthur and Cooper were above the endless ocean.
"Cooper." (Where are we going, Arthur? This is an ocean, and we must have a place to stay.)
Cooper, covered in blood, asked Arthur.
Both of them suffered injuries of varying degrees.
Facing Zhan Guo's fist that contained a penetrating shock wave, he was unable to directly resist it.
Even if you catch it, your body will still be damaged by the impact.
However, Arthur's current domineering power was not proficient enough to resist it completely.
“Anywhere will do, as long as we can escape from this place.” Arthur looked at the Gate of Justice towering above the sea in the distance.
Hearing Arthur's words, Cooper pecked out a square gray bag from his feathers and handed it to Arthur at his feet.
Arthur opened the bag and found a stack of Baileys notes and a record pointer with a cracked glass.
"This is the 500,000 Bailey tuition fee that Dor gave me..."
"Cooper." (This will allow us to find a remote island and spend some time safely, Arthur.) Cooper said to Arthur that it had made very thorough preparations in advance.
"No, Cooper, we can no longer live like normal people."
"Cooper?" (Why?)
"We're soon going to be put on the wanted list by the navy and have to live the life of outlaws." Arthur looked at the horizon ahead, his face full of worry.
Leaving the navy means that Arthur will not have the ability to reach the next island directly on the Grand Line.
On each island, you have to stay for a while, waiting for the recording pointer to record the magnetic field of the next island before you can reach the next island.
Otherwise, you can only wander on the sea and fight against nature.
This means that Arthur needs to hide from place to place to avoid being discovered by the navy.
……
Just one day after the Judicial Island incident——
A newspaper that is written specifically for the purpose and circulated around the world.
Seihei O'Hara.
A world-famous archaeological site.
The plain coast is filled with warm sea breeze.
Dorag looked at the sky filled with milky white seagulls and the newspapers falling from the sky.
He controlled a gust of wind and took a newspaper in his hand to read it.
"What's going on? Dorag boy?" An old man with a clover-leaf head approached Dorag and looked at the contents of the newspaper in his hand.
"Arthur, things are getting serious again..."
"A bounty of 4 million berries? Is the Navy crazy? Offering such a high bounty for a child?"
"Perhaps, this amount is neither too much nor too little." Dorag now felt that he was responsible for Arthur's defection.
He was the one who recruited Arthur into the navy, but it seemed like the timing was not right...
After Clover carefully examined the newspaper in Dragon's hand, he found that the part of the town on Judicial Island in the photo seemed to have been cut by some natural disaster and was in ruins.
The content contains many photos of innocent civilian victims, clearly describing how Arthur brutally killed them.
The Cooper head next to Arthur's photo was very eye-catching, with three scratches on his left eye, but the bounty was only 500 Baileys, enough for a meal of steamed buns, so it was ignored.
"Don't be fooled by his childish appearance, this guy is a murderer..." Dr. Clover read the contents and was full of curiosity about Arthur.
When Dorag saw this content, he smiled and said, "Doctor, do you believe what our navy says?"
"I don't know. I don't know this boy well, so I can't judge." Dr. Clover responded to Dragon, looking at an exploration ship docked on the coast in front of him.
"I'm not sure either. My intuition tells me that Arthur would never do such a thing."
"Come on board, this is my last trip to explore the historical text, and I am getting old."
As the two were preparing to go out to sea, a woman with long white hair ran out from O'Hara Island and shouted at them, "Wait, Doctor, please take me with you!"
"Olbiyya, why are you here too?"
"I also want to join the O'Hara expedition, Doctor, please take me with you." Olbia came to the coast, stopped the boat and stood on the shore begging.
"But you are pregnant...we..."
"I'm fine, please, Doctor! We actually have the Navy to help us in this expedition, I'm sure there will be great results... in terms of the truth of history!"
Dr. Dorag and Dr. Clover looked at each other while standing on the boat and advised: "Just let her come, Doctor. You can't abandon a girl who is so eager to know the truth of the world."
Under the persuasion of Dorag, Olbia (Robin's mother) boarded the expedition ship.
With the help of O'Hara scholars, Dorager began to pursue the true origin of this world. Arthur's experience also made him more convinced that this world ruled by the Celestial Dragons,
It is a huge war cage.
……
A few days later, in a village on a small island with a not very developed economy in the Grand Line.
On the edge of a cliff on a cliff plain on the island, all the trees were leaning down. Arthur and Cooper were lying on the edge of the cliff looking at the peaceful and comfortable village below.
"It's almost time to leave. Let's go thank the people in the village, Cooper, for their free treatment."
Both of them were wearing bandages, and with the help of enthusiastic villagers, their injuries were almost fully recovered.
"Cooper." (This kind of leisurely life is still good, Arthur.) Cooper glanced at Arthur's dark and solemn eyes, and could no longer feel the comfort he had in the Rapeseed Village in the East China Sea.
I always feel that Arthur is still the same Arthur on the surface, but he has completely changed inside.
I have grown a lot, but at the same time I have lost the vitality and righteousness I once had.
There is absolutely no aura of a sunny and cheerful young man about him.
All Arthur could think about these days were the civilians on Judicial Island who insulted him and threw all kinds of objects at him.
He didn't understand why those civilians treated him like this.
The psychological impact of the civilians' actions on him almost suffocated him and made him despair.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that the people in this village were unaware of those public opinions. Are they isolated from the world?" Arthur said, and soon he saw a fishing boat slowly docking at the pier.
This village is very peaceful and tranquil, there is no war, no plunder, and the living standard is not rich.
However, everyone seemed to be living a fulfilling life and everyone was very welcoming.
This made Arthur realize that many people who are working hard to live don't care too much about most things in the world.
Because they are already busy trying to survive.
Fishing boats returning from overseas trafficking.
The fishermen quickly held a secret meeting in the village with newspapers purchased from overseas.
