Chapter 78 Leaving the Sabaody Archipelago
Fortunately, Arthur has now joined the powerful Roger Pirates organization, and his cold nature is now under control.
Under the pressure of reality, he kept killing his former self.
This has created the opportunity to perform outstandingly in the Battle of the Sabaody Archipelago today.
I guess, it won’t be long before the newspapers reporting on this incident come out?
After all, it is not a secret. It is an encirclement and suppression operation that will go down in history, so it can naturally be announced.
"Why did you fall down again, Mr. Arthur?" Shanks saw Arthur falling weakly on the lawn and hurried over to support him.
Bucky searched among the dead bodies.
"I don't know. After using Ice Dragon Soaring, my body was completely exhausted. I felt like I still had strength, but I couldn't use it."
"Go find Xia Qi, she knows everything!"
"Xia Qi is a know-it-all. She should have a boat that can take us out to the coast of the unfrozen sea."
The two of them worked together to lift Arthur up and ran quickly to Xiaqi's Bar.
Cooper flew over and dropped the suitcase filled with 50 million Baileys, looking at the sea water flowing out without paying too much attention.
……
On the coast of the GR·44 area of the Sabaody Archipelago, the navy stationed in the archipelago came to clean up the battlefield.
A colonel led his soldiers to a huge abyss pit.
There is an ice pillar still standing in the center of the huge pit, and the rest of the place is abyss directly connected to the seabed.
"That guy's blow... no... one cut, created this hole that's bigger than a meteorite crater!"
"We've measured it, Colonel. The pit is about 78 meters in diameter!"
"Oh my god, that sword of his is of natural disaster level, isn't it as powerful as a devil fruit?"
"At that moment, a black dragon rose from the bottom of the sea into the sky..." The navy captain looked at the cloudless sky: "Let the navy and warships within our range... all be smashed and sunk in this suddenly collapsed pit, turning the situation around!"
"Report, the headquarters has suffered 32 casualties, and the elite recruits are almost...almost all killed..."
"I'm afraid our navy won't be able to send troops to fight them anytime soon..."
"This ocean will be controlled by pirates for a short time!"
“I don’t know how the government will respond, in this day and age…”
This battle was an unprecedented loss in naval history.
A total of 4 troops were dispatched, including 2 top combatants, more than 30 vice admirals from the headquarters, and 7 devil fruit users, but they failed to defeat the Roger Pirates and the Wang Zhi Pirates.
Both sides suffered extremely heavy losses.
The navy will most likely be unable to send out large-scale troops again to stop the expansion of pirates in the New World.
……
Chabaoti Archipelago GR·Area 13.
Inside Xia Qi's bar.
"The injury is quite serious. However, the weakness you said is not due to the injury, Arthur." Xia Qi examined Arthur's body and quickly analyzed the problem.
Looking at the young man in front of him, there was coagulated blood in the corners of his eyes and nostrils.
Xia Qi raised a faint smile and felt that she was really old. If she were ten years younger, perhaps the person she loved would have changed.
"Sure enough, just like the rumors say, this guy always gets himself bruised and battered. Such a man is so handsome, hehe~"
Xia Qi looked at Arthur, licked her lips, and praised him as a man.
"What's the reason? I feel very uncomfortable and can't even lift my arms..." Arthur wanted to relieve his condition as soon as possible.
Then, without wasting a moment, he left Xia Qi's bar to avoid causing her any trouble.
"You have seriously overdrawn your domineering aura. It will be difficult to recover, Arthur." As the woman of the former Pirate Queen, Xia Qi is very knowledgeable and naturally knows the problem with Arthur.
"Haki exists in everyone's body, and there is also a concept called the amount of Haki. It is similar to physical strength. Once Haki is consumed excessively, if you force it to be squeezed, it will consume your lifespan and vitality. You have to be careful."
Xia Qi said to Arthur as she bandaged his confused look on his face.
"Cooper, give it to me." Arthur realized that he had overdrawn his domineering aura and looked at Cooper beside him.
"Cooper..." (Arthur, this box of money seems to be... soaked...)
"Bucky, Shanks, take it outside and let it dry in the sun." Arthur looked at the two little kids who suddenly followed him.
Now that Roger's pirate group has fallen apart, the two of them are by his side. Now as a member of Roger's pirate group, he has to take care of them.
"I... will go right away!"
"Wait, will the navy be attracted by showing off the money?"
Buggy followed Shanks and the two went together.
"What are you going to do with the money? Are you going to spend it here?" After bandaging the wound, Xia Qi asked Arthur with a smile. The incident in the Chabaotier Archipelago made her have a very good impression of Arthur.
"Help me, Xia Qi. The back of the Sabaody Archipelago has not been frozen yet. Get me a sailing boat. I want to leave here."
"There's no big ship, but there is a small old ship...
"Fifty million Baileys. You decide how much you need and you can deduct it yourself."
Fifty million is not a small amount for Xia Qi, who has now retired. The corners of her mouth curled up and she laughed secretly: "I will show off the money myself, Shanks and Red Nose come with me, you guys go load the supplies to the ship, as for you, Arthur, just rest in the store for a while."
"Who are you calling red-nosed, Xia Qi!" Bucky grinned, getting very angry when he heard someone calling him red-nosed.
"Remember, when you wake up, come to GR 73. I'll stop the boat for you on the coast within two hours. As for the money, give it all to me."
After giving the order, Xia Qi left the bar, hung a sign "Closed" on the door, and left with Buggy and Shanks, smoking a cigarette.
Arthur could accept 50 million to save a life.
The Sabaody Archipelago is too close to the Naval Headquarters. If he stays here for too long, he doesn't know who will come.
"Cooper..." (I'm going to the rooftop to keep watch...my wings hurt...)
"Stop right there." Hearing the word "painful", Arthur immediately stopped Cooper and said, "Where does it hurt? Are you hiding your injury from me?"
"Cooper..." (I was burned by the lava, Arthur, it's been treated, it's not serious...)
"Huh~" After hearing Cooper's explanation, Arthur breathed a sigh of relief and lay heavily on the floor of Xia Qi's bar, looking at the ceiling: "Don't do this next time. Don't tell me if you're hurt first."
Cooper nodded his eagle head, went out and closed the door, leaving Arthur alone in Shaqi's Bar.
Arthur thought about his special physique and Cooper's ordinary physique, so how could he not worry?
"I'm so sleepy..." Arthur's eyelids felt as if they weighed thousands of pounds, and he stared at the ceiling in a daze.
Thinking that his life card was still in the hands of the navy, it would bring disaster to Xia Qi...
He came to his senses again, stood up suddenly from the floor, checked that the blade on his waist was still there, and looked around:
"How long has it been?"
He stood up with great pain and found that the room was shaking. He walked slowly into the dim outside.
As soon as he opened the door, the starry sky came into Arthur's eyes and the sound of splashing sea water entered his ears.
The deck of the ship was filled with all kinds of daily necessities, and it seemed that I was carried onto the ship.
Buggy and Shanks were sleeping on the deck, looking extremely tired.
"I lost my concentration for a second and passed out completely?" Arthur couldn't believe it. It seemed that such a thing had never happened before.
It is undeniable that this battle was the toughest one. There was protection before, but this time it was entirely up to Cooper and him to carry it through.
Arthur walked to the deck, looked at the two people sleeping, and then looked at Cooper who was squatting on the mast and also sleeping.
The sea was peaceful at night, not at all like a battle had just ended during the day.
In order to ensure the safety of the voyage, Arthur had nothing better to do, so he started checking the supplies on the ship.
This examination made him fall into despair...
"Damn it, there's only one bucket of fresh water! What the hell are you two doing?"
