Chapter 83: Arrival at Carnival Island
"Haha, those who enter the game are confused, while those who watch the game can see things more clearly. I know a lot of things, but I can't control them. I only know that I am lucky to come to this world where you can reach the top just by fighting and killing."
The water problem was solved, Arthur said, and lowered his head to look at the map on the barrel.
The map is very old, just like the ship.
"Bucky, Shanks, one of you come over here for a moment."
Arthur called out to them who were sweeping the cabin. Bucky quickly put down his broom and came to Arthur on the deck:
"What's wrong? Is there not enough fresh water?" Bucky asked Arthur, looking worried.
"That's not it. I want to ask you, are all the supplies on this ship brand new? Maps and compasses?"
"I don't know about the map. The pointer was bought by Xia Qi when she took us to the Sabaody Archipelago."
Arthur's face darkened. He never expected that Xia Qi would be so dark.
It was obvious that the small sailboat he was on was not worth 50 million Baileys.
Everything was old, which meant that the map he was using now was also used by the previous owner of the ship.
"That money, ah." Arthur held a grudge and was very concerned about this matter.
Thinking that it has been so long since I left Shampoo Land, I sighed with relief and let it pass.
"Actually, Arthur, we've always wanted to know what happened to you. Aren't you a marine? Why did the navy suddenly start hunting you down and offering a bounty on you, even though they were promoting you as the most powerful genius?"
Bucky observed Arthur's mood and found that he was in a particularly good mood today, so he took this opportunity to ask something he had always wanted to know.
This question made Arthur's expression solemn for a few seconds, and then returned to normal:
"Nothing happened, except that the road I wanted to take was forcibly blocked by the navy, so I forced my way on."
The answer was very casual, and with a little bit of dressing up, he looked very youthful, which made Buggy admire and yearn for him.
He saw the generosity that Arthur possessed.
……
Grand Line·New World.
Having failed to win over John, the Golden Lion once again launched a plan to win him over.
"I lost? Are you kidding me? How could John defeat me? I just retreated because I was worried about the huge losses, so I sank many of his pirate ships!"
"Puff, Master Shiki, here comes what you want."
A scientist with a pale face and blue curly hair approached Shiki with a box of medicine.
"Are you here? Indigo, with this powerful aphrodisiac, Lingling might fall in love with me, hahahaha!"
"Is Charlotte Lingling the next target? Didn't you say that she is an insatiable devil? Is it really necessary to take the risk?"
Shiqi's assistant scientist reminded him.
"I can't help it. Whitebeard and John, I don't even look down on these idiots who only know how to play pirate games and enjoy their lives!"
"Isn't there another candidate? The Roger Pirates." Indigo pointed at one of the Four Emperors in the latest newspaper.
"That group of guys has now been dispersed by the navy and has disappeared. Let's go find someone we can cooperate with first."
"There is another one. He is the boy you almost killed last time. He is the Ice Sword Master Arthur. The bounty is 500 million berries."
Speaking of Arthur, Shiqi frowned seriously: "Zhituntianxia is not something a little kid can get involved in. This guy is too crazy."
"You just want to go find Lingling to reminisce, right? Be careful to die on her, Master Shiqi."
The lion was distracted at this moment, and looked at the aphrodisiac that his deputy handed to him:
"Who do you think I am? I am the Golden Lion!"
"She's different. You'll die, Master Shiki."
"Don't get me wrong, Indigo. I'm just trying to win her over to accomplish my cause. This method is the most primitive for her."
"Why don't you find a creature of a special race for her? Why do you have to do it yourself?"
"No, you're wrong. I want to fight myself. No matter how strong Lingling is, she's just a woman."
"We are now called the Four Emperors. Is he really willing to give up his status as emperor?"
“You won’t know until you try it!”
When Shiki saw that Arthur's bounty had been raised by 100 million berries, he seemed to understand...
He seemed to have become the central figure of this era, and everyone revolved around him.
But even though he was a defeated general who was killed instantly, he still looked down on the current Arthur.
Just like that, Shiki once again set out on the journey of winning over the powerful.
Even though he was rejected twice, he still remained resolute and confident.
……
A non-member country at the end of the North Sea.
"Has Rosie Landy not been found yet?"
"No, young master, this time it's the plan we designed for you, and the people we plan to win over in the future."
Doflamingo, who killed his own father and brought his father's head to the holy land of Marijoa to regain his identity as a Celestial Dragon, returns to the North Sea.
"Young Master, the family needs your wisdom and identity. Please carefully look at the list on the document."
Torebol, the leader of an evil gang in the North Sea, is the user of the parahuman Sticky Fruit.
Because he saw Doflamingo's Conqueror's Haki awaken, he began to join him with his powerful companions.
With the help of the Celestial Dragons and the name of the Don Quixote family, he created a powerful force and started smuggling, assassination, and various dark activities.
"I clearly took my father's head and begged them, why didn't they let me resume my status as a Celestial Dragon? Damn, those arrogant guys!"
"I swear to turn the world ruled by the Celestial Dragons upside down!"
"Young Master, before you go there, you must first become stronger. Let Lao G teach you how to fight first."
Doflamingo glanced at the man in tights beside him, then took the plan document from Trebol and started to check it.
Looking at the people who were to be won over in the document, none of them were the current Four Emperors. They were all newcomers with good reputations in the sea.
"The people we are trying to win over are all guys with great potential. As long as you wait until the times change again, these people in the document will be enough to help us achieve twice the result with half the effort in our plan to overthrow the Celestial Dragons."
Doflamingo looked solemn, and said to the group of family members behind him:
"Why do you want to win over Kaido?"
"Young Master, Kaido is planning to find a country rich in resources, build a weapons factory and sell them on a large scale."
"He has declared to the outside world that he wants to create a world ruled only by violence and force, and he is one of the people who is very worthy of cooperation in the future."
"What about this Arthur?"
"A beast that hates the navy and the government. Recently, word has spread across the sea that he is now as skilled in swordsmanship as Pluto Rayleigh, and that he must not be provoked. You can try to win him over, and it will definitely be good for you."
"Where's Crocodile?"
"A 15-year-old super rookie who just debuted as a pirate. His brain, ambition, and strength should not be underestimated..."
Trebol gambled everything he had to assist Doflamingo, a child who was transformed from a celestial dragon into a prisoner.
It was mainly because of the darkness and kingly qualities in him that Torebol was deeply attracted to him.
Everyone was serious and taught their future king earnestly.
In this world where bloodline is everything, their actions have further elevated their status as gangsters.
three days later.
Grand Line, Carnival Island Coast.
The strange atmosphere and hot weather made the two kids, Buggy and Shanks, extremely alert. They stood at the bow and looked at the primeval forest coast ahead.
Small sailboats anchor at the coast within this crescent-shaped bay.
"Cooper!" (The anchor is down, Arthur!)
"A primeval forest? Why does this map say there is civilization there?" If it were before, Arthur would have felt it was weird too.
Now, the eerie atmosphere of this island just made him look forward to and excited.
It was as if there was some unknown creature on the island, attracting him there.
