Chapter 88: Carnival Island: The Sulfuric Acid Pirates are destroyed

Knife's stomach was ripped open.

Highly corrosive sulfuric acid fell from his stomach to the ground.

Things around him began to rot, making a boiling hissing sound.

The abdominal opening can heal without bleeding.

Arthur knew at first glance that such a person was a devil fruit user.

"Don't go over there, you will die!" Knife saw his men rushing towards Arthur.

He quickly reached out to stop it.

"Natural?" Arthur pointed the knife at Knife: "Or superhuman?"

Knife did not respond to Arthur, but was worried about his men.

"Captain, why!"

"If we kill him, we can report to the Navy and be promoted to Shichibukai. Our lives will change dramatically."

"Yes, Captain, we are not afraid of death,"

Knife is hard to explain.

If your subordinates possessed the ability of Observation Haki, they would understand how terrifying this young man in the dark is.

Seemingly calm on the outside, but harboring endless murderous intent.

It was like a monster emitting cold air standing in front of him.

"Anyway..." Knife's face was covered with cold sweat and he swallowed his saliva: "All of you, don't move."

His disemboweled stomach slowly healed, and he looked at Arthur with fear on his face.

If Arthur's first strike was a test...

The second knife will definitely not be hidden.

"Seven Warlords of the Sea?" After analyzing the other party's purpose, Arthur frowned and became more alert.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea were just established, and he didn't know who would join in this era.

"Yes, I came to you for that position."

Knife hurriedly explained that Arthur's extremely fast knife just now had made him sweat profusely.

Once a real fight breaks out, there is absolutely no way we can win.

I came here with the mentality of picking up a bargain and trying my luck.

Now it seems that it is simply wishful thinking.

"I have nothing to say to a man like you who dresses weirdly." Arthur's momentum sank and he exerted force with his legs.

The soil under his feet splashed high, and he quickly approached Knif and slashed at him with a knife.

"What did you call me!" Knif's anger was aroused on the spot.

He hates being called a pervert the most in his life...

It's just a little hobby, wearing strange Gothic style clothes.

Why are they called "perverts"?

Suddenly, he wrapped his right arm with the armor-colored skin and blocked it with gritted teeth: "This is Goth!"

boom!

The moment the blade hit Knif's fist, the sharp ice dragon directly cut into his armor-colored skin.

"What? The domineering armor is broken!" Knif was shocked, and his body flew backwards unconsciously.

The terrifying power of Arthur's sword swing had completely suppressed him.

"There are different levels of domineering, do you understand?" The slightly drunk Arthur slashed Knif and at the same time chopped him away from him.

It wasn't blood that spurted out from Kniv's wound.

Instead, it was sulfuric acid that made Arthur feel dangerous, rushing quickly towards Arthur.

"Bloom." Arthur looked at the sticky liquid that looked like raindrops, squeezed the hilt of the knife hard and murmured softly.

Instantly, frost surged out of his body, forming a rotating ice and snow barrier around him.

All the sulfuric acid that flew in front of him was frozen solid.

Knif himself was knocked into the primeval forest by Arthur, his body unable to stop in mid-air.

He smashed down large trees one after another and kept rushing inside.

"Captain Knife..."

The other members of the Sulfuric Acid Pirates are ready to go.

Always ready to attack Arthur.

But without the captain's orders, everyone could only stand there.

"The ice and snow that surrounds him is the source of his title, the Ice Swordsman, right?"

"How are we going to defeat him with a sword technique that's so fast that we can't even see it clearly..."

The body is shaking slightly and the brain is confused.

Arthur, who hadn't had a drink for more than ten years, stood there slightly drunk.

He looked at his knife and said, "I can't drink any more. I can't control my strength anymore."

Suddenly, Arthur turned and looked at the other pirates in the camp.

Murderous intent surged in his eyes, and the domineering aura of intimidation like a tide engulfed them.

"Domineering color...ah..."

"Are these the crew members of Roger's Pirates? What on earth is going on with this configuration?"

Arthur was a little surprised after releasing the domineering color.

I didn't expect that among this group of pirates that I had never heard of, there were actually a few people who could resist my domineering color.

in his cognition.

Those who do not have a firm will will only be stunned by the domineering color.

He counted and found that only four people were left out of hundreds of people, standing there in cold sweat.

Then, Arthur mobilized the power of extreme ice to cover the blade in his hand and swung it towards them.

Without waiting for everyone to speak and explain.

Without even waiting for them to beg for mercy.

The freezing cold air instantly engulfed them and their unconscious companions behind them.

It turns into many dazzling human-shaped ice sculptures, all frozen.

After defeating the group, Arthur walked over to the grill near the campfire.

He picked up a meter-long piece of barbecue with a knife and fork and walked in the direction where Knif was flying.

The whole process takes less than a minute.

All members of the Sulfuric Acid Pirates except Knif were killed.

In the primeval forest, Arthur looked at the many towering branches of large trees.

The middle of the branch was almost completely corroded by the strong liquid, forming a large penetrating hole.

Knife was knocked to the ground and fell onto the forest soil. He lay there, staring at the night sky obscured by leaves.

"I definitely can't win..." Knif felt the huge gap in strength and slowly stood up.

Watching Arthur licking the last piece of barbecue on his blade, he came to stand not far in front of him and looked at him.

"What did you do to my crew? Did you release your Conqueror Haki just now?"

"They've all turned into ice sculptures, sleeping here forever. Also, I can only freeze people, not thaw them." Arthur threw away his sword and looked at him calmly in the dark forest.

"Ice sculpture... eternal sleep..." Knife's pupils gradually dilated, and his heart stopped as he stared at Arthur.

Unable to believe what Arthur had just said, he suddenly became furious:

"How could you... start a war without any reason! I've given the order that no one is allowed to attack you, why are you making it so difficult!"

All his companions were killed, causing the usually calm and cautious Knif to collapse.

Uncontrollable anger welled up from the bottom of my heart.

He wanted to continue the negotiations, but he went against the mission given by the Navy and chose to stay alive by not joining the Seven Warlords selection.

Now, this kid in front of him killed more than 400 of his men without saying a word...

"Starting a war without a reason?" Arthur took out his life card, which was only the size of a small square:

"I infiltrated the party and thought you were an ordinary pirate group. You camped on the coast and left after recording the magnetic field."

"Who would have known that he was hired by the navy to kill me."

At this moment, no matter what Arthur said, Knife hated him to the core.

He was shaking with anger, as if his family member's friend had been killed, and he had absolutely no doubt about it.

The other party has the strength and the cold-bloodedness that has been rumored in the past two years.

"How can you be so cold-blooded and cruel? Highly concentrated sulfuric acid cannon!" Knif's arm turned into a cannon, aiming at Arthur and shooting decisively.

He was completely enraged by Arthur's behavior and no longer had any rationality left.

He just wanted to kill Arthur and avenge his partner.

In the darkness of the primeval forest, it is impossible to capture the other person's breath with eyes alone.

Knife could only use his observation Haki to capture Arthur's location.

"Really? We are all pirates. Do you think the person standing in front of you is a saint?"

Arthur swung at the sulfuric acid shell that was rushing towards him, and it froze into an ice ball on the spot and fell on the soil in front of him.

Then he couldn't help but smile, activated the ice dragon's extreme icy power, and swung a cold knife at him through the air.

The body also followed the slash, moving quickly, ready to launch a surprise attack.

After Knife used his Observation Haki to predict, he decisively chose to dodge, then let his domineering aura wrap around his body and planned to engage in close combat with Arthur.

If the cold air penetrates into his body, his sulfuric acid body will be frozen.

He sensed danger behind him and decisively punched himself in the back.

Ding! The domineering fist was easily blocked by Arthur's blade.

In a sense, Arthur's extreme ice power restrained his sulfuric acid fruit, making him unable to do anything.

"Or do you think I have a pure heart of a saint?" Arthur said as he stood behind Knif, and used his sword to deflect his fist, causing him to lose his balance.

The strength formed a crushing trend. Arthur watched his body tilt and was about to be sulfated again.

He decisively wrapped a layer of Ryusakura domineering aura around the blade, and suddenly slashed down at him from top to bottom.

Ryuying's domineering power destroyed Knif's insides from a distance, causing him to vomit blood on the spot.

After a while, he fell to the ground, his eyes empty and motionless, staring at the sky.

"This is the swordsman..." Realizing that he was doomed to fail in terms of force, Knife smiled with relief: "I am called the King of Sulfuric Acid, but am I just an ant?"

Until now he still didn't understand why the other party would kill him without hesitation, even though he had clearly shown weakness and fear.

However, at this moment, my body has been severely injured and nothing else matters.

He looked at Arthur, who was standing in front of him with a knife in his hand, staring at him expressionlessly.

It's like staring at an ant.

"The sky tonight is so beautiful." Knif's vision gradually blurred as he admired the last beauty of the world.

Then, he saw with his own eyes that Arthur slashed his body with a knife, and his consciousness completely disappeared into nothingness.

"That's absolutely right, but you'll never see it again." Arthur frowned, shocked by the mentality of the guy in front of him.

How can one be so calm in the face of death and still have the mind to appreciate the scenery of the world?

Arthur let out a long sigh, smiled faintly, but still decisively sent him to the underworld.

He already knew the rules of survival in this world, so it was even less likely that he would show mercy to anyone.

After killing Knif, Arthur looked up at the sky covered by leaves and jumped up.

He jumped to the top of a tall tree and sat down on a thick branch.

The view here is wide and the sea breeze is gentle.

The island scenery is in full view under the starry sky.

"It's been a long time since I've been so quiet and looked at the beauty beyond human nature." Arthur put the ice dragon back into the scabbard.

Looking at the sea and the island in front of me alone.

"It's great to survive that situation and become stronger..." Under the influence of alcohol, Arthur covered his face with his hands, feeling grateful.

If he hadn't had the ten years of basic training, he would have died long ago no matter how tough he was.

In the eyes of others, he would naturally protect himself with his indifference.

But when they are alone, refugees will feel that their efforts have not been in vain.

A small number of people are often able to think for themselves when they are alone, without being bound by others, and this is also the time when they are at their strongest.

……

A good night's sleep.

The next day, a thick fog covered the entire island of Carnival.

When Arthur returned to the main hall of Carnival Castle from the primeval forest, he found...

Shanks and Buggy were drunk and fell asleep barefoot in each other's arms behind a long table.

He walked slowly to the throne in the hall and watched Cooper spread his wings and hold all nine children in his arms, sleeping soundly.

He even started snoring.

"Hey." Arthur pushed it with his foot and called out, "Cooper, get up."

"!" Cooper, who was drunk, suddenly woke up when he heard Arthur's voice.

The nine beauties rubbed their eyes at the same time, opened their eyes blearily, and looked up to see Arthur.

He was naturally frightened and sat on the ground with his head down, not daring to look into Arthur's eyes, which were full of contempt for Cooper.

Arthur prepared to go out to sea with supplies.

Because the recording pointers on his hand and hanging on Cooper's chest have already recorded the magnetic field of the island.

Now we can head to the next island.

If he stayed there for too long, who knows what actions the navy and the government would take against him.

"Cooper?" (Arthur, did you kill them? Are they enemies?)

"More than four hundred people have been dealt with." After waking up Cooper, Arthur came to the right side of the hall again.

There is a long table in front of Shanks and Buggy. I wonder if they stole the wine to drink...

Or is it because of a conflict and a quarrel, trying to see who can drink better?

Without caring about anything else, Arthur picked up the two of them and led everyone out.

There are many uninhabited buildings on this island. Presumably, it is because of the devil Lily Carnation that no one dares to live there.

Thinking of the sweet fruit wine, Arthur suddenly turned around and looked at the beauties behind him:

"By the way, each of you should bring me a barrel of those fruit wines. They taste pretty good."

"It's a heavy bucket..."

"We...can't carry her, we can only dance and serve her..."

"Do you want a hug?" Upon hearing their words, Arthur's face darkened and he gripped the knife at his waist.

"Hold him...! Go and hug him right now!" Seeing that Arthur was about to draw his knife to kill someone, they had no choice but to run to the castle's food warehouse and do as Arthur said.

Arthur really didn't believe that death couldn't stimulate their potential?

After a while, the beauties came out of the castle one by one, holding a barrel of fruit wine and with their heads lowered.

Did not dare to make any move of resistance.

No one wants to become a warning to the woman who died yesterday.

In front of everyone, a beautiful woman was killed by Arthur by piercing her forehead from a distance.

"Cooper!" (What are you doing, Arthur? I'm still a single eagle.) Cooper saw Arthur's attitude towards the beauties who served him last night.

He immediately patted Arthur's head with his wing and roared angrily.

However, Arthur did not appreciate it and replied coldly:

"You are an eagle, they are humans, what does this have to do with your being single?"

"Ku..." Cooper was stunned, feeling that what Arthur said seemed to make sense.

Everyone returned to the coast where the old small sailboat was docked, raised the anchor and set sail, docking on the west coast of Carnival Island.

Arthur ordered the women to move a large amount of supplies onto the huge pirate ship.

Even if they were exhausted and out of breath, they had no choice but to do it.

The women who were carrying supplies back and forth between the two ships all noticed with horror the camp on the coast.

The entire coastal land was filled with people who were frozen by Arthur last night.

Recalling the huge ice dragon that Arthur had swung at the castle's stone window, they immediately understood why Arthur had gone out last night.

Their imagination made their fear of Arthur even more profound.

Looking at the obedient women, Arthur stood on the observation deck, propping up his face lazily, and said to Cooper on the top of the mast:

“I actually enjoy the feeling of others obeying my orders.

"These beautiful women are like puppets, they fear me and obey me."
