Chapter 64 The conflict between Arthur and Barrett

After leaving the warship, Arthur slowly woke up at the dock of Alva town. He looked at the bandages on his body and recalled what Kaji had said on the warship just now.

"Don't be so self-indulgent, you Navy bootlicker... I don't need your sympathy for my experience..."

Having said that, Arthur was still very grateful to him in his heart.

But the past is the past, it cannot be retrieved or changed.

You can only look forward and reshape yourself step by step.

He will not impose his own tragic experiences and emotions on others.

"Wake up...! Hide quickly, Shanks..."

"Hmm?" Arthur, sensing the timid atmosphere, looked towards the Ol Jaxson. The sight of the ship in front of him made his eyes suddenly widen.

"The Ol Jaxson..."

On the side of the ship, Bucky hid on the deck, not wanting to be seen by Arthur.

However, Shanks calmly confronted Arthur below and asked:

"Long time no see, Marine. What happened to you to cause you to be like this?"

Arthur looked at the young Shanks wearing a straw hat and found that he was not as domineering as he would be in the future.

He is just a young child now, but his mental quality is incredibly strong.

"I'm no longer a marine. Nothing happened and it has nothing to do with you." Arthur responded to Shanks calmly, then looked up at the island.

"So what is your purpose now? What are you going to do? If you continue to be hunted by the navy like this, you will die."

"Challenge the strong, pursue the powerful."

"Clam?"

Shanks was shocked by Arthur's answer, and suddenly looked towards the island with him: "Wait, you don't want to..."

"Who is your pirate group fighting against?" Arthur stared at the battle atmosphere in the distance and always felt a little familiar.

"Barrett, like you, is a super rookie."

"Barrett...!" Arthur clenched his teeth when he heard the name.

A monster who does things without thinking and only cares about killing, he hates Barrett very much.

What is happening to me now is closely related to Barrett.

"Cooper." (You are still injured, don't be angry, Arthur.) Cooper noticed Arthur's anger and immediately dissuaded him.

"I'm going to chop him up, that damn guy!"

Obviously, Arthur couldn't listen to anything, and he started a new round of conflict as soon as he woke up.

"Hey, the captain and the vice-captain don't like others to disturb their duel, you'd better..." Shanks kindly reminded, but found that Arthur and Cooper ignored his advice.

So he sighed: "Hey, what's wrong with that guy? He's so reckless even though he's covered in injuries?"

Buggy, who was hiding on the deck, also spoke up: "It would be strange if a guy who attacks Red Harbor is not mentally ill."

"What are you afraid of, Buggy, you coward!"

"Shanks, what are you talking about? I'm not being cowardly, that's my survival instinct!"

"Tsk, being timid is being timid, what's there to explain?"

"You wanna have a fight?"

"Just do it, no one is afraid of anyone!"

On the deck of the Ol Jackson, Shanks and Buggy started fighting again because of the noise.

……

Arthur brought Cooper to the island of Alva, the site of the forest conflict.

"Hey, someone's coming."

"His face looks familiar. What is he doing here?"

"Didn't the news say that his life or death was unknown?"

The members of Roger's pirate group recognized Arthur and the eagle following him at a glance, and their faces showed excitement without any fear.

Roger, who was watching the fight between Rayleigh and Challenger Barrett, heard the noise and turned to look at Arthur.

At this moment, Roger himself suddenly started coughing in public and covered his mouth with his hands.

Blood was all over the palm, shocking the entire pirate crew.

"Captain Roger!"

Everyone was shocked and looked at the scene in disbelief, not knowing what was going on.

"What's wrong with me?" Roger couldn't understand, looking at the blood in his hands and the sudden symptoms in his body.

Seeing this, an elegant man with a ponytail stopped Arthur and said, "This road is blocked. Please take a detour."

"Don't stop me! Where is Barrett?" Arthur could hardly suppress his anger towards Barrett.

Looking at Roger squatting on the ground behind Spencer and all the members of Roger's pirate group going to support Roger, he discovered something was wrong.

I can’t understand what happened to such a powerful person?

Why do you vomit blood?

Why do you show your weak side?

Rayleigh and Barrett, who were in fierce collision, stopped fighting when they noticed the situation.

Barrett was deflected by Rayleigh's sword, and asked him with some dissatisfaction: "What's wrong? Didn't you say that I can challenge the captain only after I defeat you? Are you, the Roger Pirates, going to break your promise?"

"There seems to be something wrong with Roger's physical condition..." Rayleigh put away the knife and walked towards Roger. He found it hard to accept the sight of him looking so sickly.

"Barrett!" Arthur was furious and released his domineering aura directly towards Barrett who was close to him in the crowd of Roger's pirate group.

Barrett recognized Arthur and smiled at him: "Isn't this the guy I beat half to death? Why are you here too?"

Arthur's angry domineering aura spread in the vicinity, and all members of Roger's pirate group were enveloped in it, but no one fainted.

"You fucking beast!" Arthur drew his sword, walked through the crowd and rushed straight towards Barrett.

The domineering aura wrapped around the blade, generating a stream of flowing air that lingered around the blade.

"Heroic Haki! This guy can also..."

"That's Ryu-Yakura on his sword..."

After a year of life-and-death battle with the navy, Arthur's strength is very different from a year ago.

Whether it is combat experience or personal strength, he is difficult to capture at sea.

However, there is still a long way to go before becoming a truly strong person.

"You're not the only one who's become stronger, you old eagle!" Barrett laughed excitedly upon seeing this. His fist was instantly wrapped in a domineering outer layer, and he punched towards Arthur's blade.

"I will definitely kill you, Barrett." Arthur swung with all his strength and attacked Barrett frantically.

"You are covered in wounds, how can you kill me?!" Barrett kept punching and the fight with Arthur was hard to separate.

"Cooper! Kill him, show no mercy!"

With the help of Cooper, 2 on 1, Barrett quickly fell into a disadvantage under the fierce offensive.

He was beaten back by Arthur and Cooper and was even unable to withstand Arthur's blows.

Seeing this, Roger immediately asked everyone to go up and stop it.

Because Barrett was the powerful fighter he had his eyes on, and he agreed to duel with him this time just to recruit him.

Letting him join the pirate group could also stop this killing monster without any target from killing.

Unexpectedly, another guy with the same name would appear.

"Kill him, this guy has caused us so much trouble, Cooper."

"Cooper!" (Oh!)

Barrett, who was unable to keep his balance due to the rebound of Arthur's blade, suddenly had his pupils shrunken into thin needles as he watched Arthur and Cooper rushing towards him with the determination to kill.

Arthur stabbed Barrett's chin with the blade in his hand, intending to pierce through the back of his head directly from the chin.

Arthur, Cooper, and Barrett were stopped by members of Roger's pirate group almost at the same time.

"Stop it, you two monster super rookies, what's the grudge between you two?"

"Why should I be labeled a traitor? You beast, if you hadn't run away, I would have killed you!" Arthur was even more angry than Barrett.

More anger was still directed at Zhan Guo, if he had not been seriously injured by Barrett.

He would not have been publicly executed on Judicial Island, resulting in his hands being covered in blood.
