Chapter 72: Sabaody Archipelago: It’s all about profit.

Bucky ran to Xiaqi's bar, thinking that it was Arthur's fault that the navy came so quickly this time.

Because, as he said when he boarded the ship, the Navy had his life card.

"Large fleet?" Arthur turned and looked at Bucky, fully confident in the navy's actions.

Life cards were created when Arthur joined the navy. No matter where Arthur is, the navy can reach his location in a very short time.

In Xia Qi's bar.

Buggy informed the officers who were having a banquet about the arrival of the navy.

"Captain Roger, I feel like this is a conspiracy!" Bucky grabbed Roger's pants, his face filled with tears of fear:

"Arthur joining us must be a battle plan formulated by the navy to wipe us out!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the bar felt that it was impossible. After all, they had just arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago and the navy arrived in less than a few hours.

In the past, the navy did not dare to send out large fleets.

"It would be the death of us to keep him on board, Captain, wuwuwu."

"Calm down, this kind of thing..."

Just when Roger was doubting this matter, Arthur, who came to discuss how to deal with the navy, observed the gazes of most of Roger's pirate group.

They all suspected that this siege was planned by him and the navy...

"Forehead…"

"Arthur..."

The Roger Pirates noticed Arthur standing at the door.

"Haha." Barrett looked at the awkward atmosphere between the two parties, smiled secretly, and really wanted to know how Arthur would handle it.

He was the only one who felt that this operation was not at all a joint effort between him and the navy to eliminate the Roger Pirates.

"So you think that my experiences and injuries in the past two years were all a show with the navy, and then targeted at you?" Arthur lowered his head, and no one could see the emotions on his face.

"Absolutely!" Buggy hugged Roger's thigh and pointed at Arthur in front of everyone, saying for sure: "You are so cold and aloof at ordinary times, you must have tipped off the navy!"

"Shut up, Buggy, don't talk anymore!" Rayleigh hit Buggy, the kid who was causing the conflict, and made him cover his head and quiet down.

"Do you all think so?!" Arthur looked extremely disappointed. He stroked Cooper's head and asked everyone.

Even Cooper was shocked; he didn't expect to be suspected.

Roger and Arthur stared at each other for a long time and found that the other's aura suddenly became cold, and his eyes became pale and empty.

It's like they're about to break up at any moment.

There is no doubt that this was an internal incident provoked by the suspicion and instigation of a seemingly insignificant little person, which was enough to cause his own pirate group to be involved in the incident of the crew leaving.

"Apologize, Bucky." Roger stroked Bucky's head and said to him.

Ever since Arthur accepted the invitation and joined the pirate group, Roger has never doubted Arthur.

Arthur had agreed beforehand that his life card was in the navy.

“Why!” Buggy was stunned, and looked at his captain with an innocent face: “He was a navy before, Captain, we have never been surrounded by the navy when we came to the Sabaody Archipelago before!”

"Remember, he is no longer a marine, but is now our partner. You can't doubt him just because he was a marine before, and I don't regret bringing him on board."

Now that the young man has gone through such tragic experiences and continues to be treated coldly by the world, Roger knows very well what will happen.

In that case, Arthur would only move towards deeper darkness.

"Idiot, apologize now!" Shanks also felt that Arthur could not be a traitor who informed the navy, so he walked over to Buggy and punched him: "Don't create conflicts among the crew for no reason."

The beaten Bucky bowed to Arthur and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, I was too scared of the rumors about you, sorry."

Wang Zhi, who heard the navy surrounding the island, stood up with his drink and walked outside: "You guys are really hopeless. How can there be pirates like you?"

Wang Zhi walked to the door with a bottle of wine in his hand and looked at Arthur, as if he was testing Arthur's strength.

All I saw in Arthur's eyes was an unusual determination, a cold feeling, and distrust.

Arthur took the initiative to make way for him and watched Wang Zhi leave alone.

"If the navy didn't come, I would definitely fight with you, Roger. Now it seems that we have a common enemy." Wang Zhi said this and left Area 13 of the Sabaody Archipelago without looking back.

"Are you afraid of me because of those rumors at sea?" After Wang Zhi left, Arthur looked at Bucky who was apologizing to him.

“What else… ? How many good people are there among us pirates?” Buggy responded hesitantly.

"I dare not say that I am a good person now, because I have taken many lives that I don't want to take, but you shouldn't blame me immediately when something happens."

Arthur's tone was gentle as he accepted Bucky's apology.

Then, he looked at Roger and continued to state his position:

"I joined to seek your protection, because I now know myself well and I don't have the ability to survive on my own."

"If you accept me, I will work for you. If you don't accept me, doubt me, question me, I will leave."

"It's very simple, Captain Roger. It's just a matter of profit."

These words came from Arthur's heart, in an era when the navy's military power and manpower were expanding at a rapid pace, and a large number of strong recruits joined the navy.

Under the wave of pursuits that came one after another, he felt that he would soon fall.

Roger listened carefully to Arthur's words, and without hesitation, he immediately spoke:

"You misunderstood, Arthur. I never doubted you from the beginning."

As he said that, he walked to Arthur's side, put his hand on his shoulder and smiled generously: "I will not give up a crew member like you because of a small matter. I am very good at judging people."

This little thing won't make Roger give up such a powerful fighter like Arthur. His vision is much higher than that of Zhan Guo.

Besides, Roger still remembered that Arthur said before he boarded the ship that his life card was in the navy.

This means that Roger's pirate group will be hunted by the navy at all times in the future, and their whereabouts will soon be exposed no matter where they are.

After that, Roger walked out of Shaqi's bar alone and shouted to the Roger Pirates behind him: "Brothers, let's risk our lives and go to the navy to reminisce. You should understand that I will not escape even if it is a large fleet."

That infectious smile and determination to fight to the death made the entire Roger Pirates follow without any hesitation and head to the 44th Sabaody Archipelago area, the docking point of the Ol Jaxson.

Seeing this, Xia Qi smiled from behind the bar and said, "You guys better leave quickly. I still have to run this place, and I don't want it to be discovered and destroyed by the navy."

The executives of Roger's pirate group said goodbye to Shaqi, and one by one, they smiled and stepped past Arthur and left the bar.

"Idiot! Don't create such petty conflicts in the future."

Bang, Rayleigh punches Bucky on the head and teaches him a lesson.

"I understand, Mr. Rayleigh, I'm just afraid of him!" Buggy covered the big swollen bump on his head and followed Roger with Shanks.

After everyone had left, only Rayleigh and Xia Qi were left in the bar to say their final goodbyes.

"Old Lei, seems like all my preparations today were in vain?" Xia Qi supported her face and said coquettishly to Rayleigh who was standing in front of Arthur.

"Wait a little longer. Roger doesn't have much time left. I'll come find you after the last adventure, Xia Qi."

"Well, don't let me miss you for too long."

"I promise."

After Rayleigh and Xia Qi said goodbye, they looked at Arthur, who was standing in front of the bar with his arms folded across his chest and a calm expression on his face. "Let's go, Arthur. It looks like we won't be able to celebrate Christmas. We have to have a big fight with the navy!"

"Let's go." Arthur followed Rayleigh and headed to the No. 44 Yarchiman mangrove area.
