Chapter 97 Leaving the 7 Water City and Heading to the New World

After receiving Roger's order, Rayleigh dived into the sea and swam in the direction where Arthur was flying.

Overseas, a few kilometers away from the Seven Waters City.

The force of the impact gradually dissipated from Arthur.

He was knocked away by Roger and fell from mid-air into the sea in an instant.

The moment the blade in his hand touched the sea water, it froze into a huge piece of ice land around Arthur.

Arthur landed steadily on top, the tip of the knife stuck in the ice under his feet. He knelt on one knee on the ground with blood in his mouth.

"I thought I could stand against Roger like Garp did..." His body was impacted by Roger's domineering aura and he suffered some internal injuries.

But it wasn't enough to knock him down.

He still had a fighting spirit on his face, and after a moment he stood up and walked towards the Seven Water City.

The tip of the knife dragged on the ice, forming an icy path to pave the way for his feet.

Every time when Arthur was about to step on empty air, the ice dragon would always freeze the sea under his feet faster than Arthur.

He walked slowly like this, and suddenly he saw Rayleigh with a golden algae head emerging from the seabed.

"..." Rayleigh, who came to rescue him, emerged from the sea with a dazed and embarrassed look on his face as he looked up at Arthur above.

The two looked at each other.

Rayleigh suddenly spoke up and shouted at Arthur above:

"You didn't faint, and you can still pave the way with the power of the sword!?"

"What are you doing, Mr. Rayleigh? If I had fainted like that, how could I be alive now?" Arthur looked at Rayleigh with contempt.

Watch him crawl out of the sea onto the icy path created by his own blade.

"Come on, let's go back and let Krocas check you out." Rayleigh said as he followed Arthur.

He took off the purple clothes soaked by sea water, wrung out the water and carried them on his shoulders.

Arthur glanced at Rayleigh and saw how clean he was.

He reached out and touched his body again.

The feeling of the scars from bumps and bruises made him feel really weak.

That’s right. If someone else suffered those injuries, the grass on their grave would probably be several meters high.

About half an hour.

The two returned to the shipyard of Tom, the city of Seven Waters.

I saw that everyone had already prepared their meals and were starting to enjoy their breakfast for the day.

"Hey!" Roger saw Arthur and Rayleigh, waving his arms and shouting at them, "He's right, Rayleigh, let Krocas take a look."

Krocas then came to Arthur and examined him with a stethoscope:

"Your heart rate is normal, your breathing is very calm, and there are no murmurs or fluctuations. You seem to be fine."

Can this thing alone diagnose that there is nothing wrong with the body? Arthur put on a cold face, somewhat doubting whether Krocus was a quack.

But he did prolong Roger's life.

"Sit here, Arthur, next to Barrett on the left." Rayleigh led him to the long dining table and pointed in front of Barrett and asked him to sit down.

Barrett looked at Arthur seriously, and when he noticed the blood at the corner of his mouth, he grinned: "You have come to this day too?"

"It's better than being killed instantly." Arthur sat down and looked at the various exotic dishes on the table.

He frowned, locked his eyes on a large plate of dumplings with an unknown filling, brought it in front of him and started stuffing them into his mouth.

"Hey."

Arthur heard someone calling him from his right and turned to look to the right.

He found that Yamon, a girl with thick blond hair, was sitting on his right.

It was also discovered that Cooper was mingling with other members of Roger's pirate group and drinking heartily.

"What?" Arthur responded to Yamon.

"Are you okay?" He looked at Arthur, who seemed calm and composed.

Yamon stuttered a little, concerned about his health.

"I won't die." Arthur was concentrating on eating his favorite food and didn't look at Yamon to respond to her.

Such an attitude suddenly made Yamon, who was always indifferent to others, fall into inner confusion.

He let out a long sigh and stopped asking Arthur any questions out of curiosity.

……

March 1493 in the Haiyuan calendar.

It's mostly Arthur's daily life following Roger's pirate group and his self-training.

She and Yamon began to record the navigation diary of Roger's pirate group and their daily life, which made Arthur learn that she was only 19 years old.

She looked like a very mature and steady woman, but she was only three years older than him.

He also arm wrestled with Nozton, the strongest man on the ship, to see how they could compete in strength.

He exchanges swordplay with the knife-wielding combat crew members including Langram, Jackson Banner, CB Galan, and Taro.

Assisted Tom in repairing the hull and asked Tom to help him build a separate cabin.

After completing everyone's requirements and demands.

He began to practice swordsmanship with his sword and maintained his proficiency.

Release all the domineering energy in your body, and then wait for it to fully recover.

In this way, the upper limit of the amount of domineering power can be continuously increased.

Over time, he was unable to fully integrate into the group.

Still not letting anyone get close to me or touch my body.

The pain in the back of his neck from being shot by a civilian was still aching, reminding him all the time.

The beginning of the year 1493 in the Haiyuan calendar.

The Ol Jaxson was repaired.

Tom carried him with his bare hands and threw him to the dock outside the shipyard, where he was ready to go out to sea.

Arthur in a black robe near the dock.

He is holding a knife and accepts Buggy and Shanks' request for a sparring match, becoming their training subject.

"As long as I practice with you, I will become stronger, right? When I meet Whitebeard, I will use the double swords in my hands to shave off his beard!" Buggy said, swinging his swords at Arthur continuously.

"Where's the flaw?" Shanks looked serious and tried to find the flaw in Arthur.

"No more fighting." Suddenly, Arthur exerted force with his arms and pushed the two of them back from in front of him.

End the farce.

Then he jumped onto the back of Cooper who was following him to rest.

Looking at Roger and his group arriving at the beach, ready to go out to sea.

Cooper drank the fruit wine hanging around his neck with a look of satisfaction.

"Cooper?" (Are we finally going out to sea? I'm so looking forward to it) it called out and said to Arthur.

"I was surprised that the navy has not come to the Seven Water City. Don't they want to kill me?"

Arthur, who is about to go out to sea, still can't believe it.

I actually spent more than ten days in peace and tranquility in this city known as the "World's Largest Shipyard and the City of Seven Waters."

"Roger, if you break it again next time, I'll charge you the maximum repair fee!"

"Don't worry, Tom. It won't happen again next time."

At the shipyard dock, Tom and Roger were talking and laughing as they said goodbye to each other as friends.

"I'm serious this time. I will definitely subvert the world!" Roger made up his mind.

These words reminded Rayleigh behind him of the promise he made when he first met Roger.

Rayleigh smiled and said, "Have you finally remembered what you promised me, Roger?"

"Of course, brother!" Roger smiled brightly at Rayleigh.

The bond between the two is self-evident, all in their smiles.

After the ship was repaired and all supplies were replenished, the members of Roger's pirate group boarded the ship one by one.

Arthur walked up the gangway and turned to look at the Seven Waters City in front of him that looked like a fountain.

"Cooper?" (What's wrong, Arthur, hurry up) Seeing that Arthur didn't move for a long time, Cooper shouted to urge him.

"Could this be the calm before the storm?" Arthur took a deep breath and went on deck.

Let’s analyze it based on the peace that the Seven Water City has been experiencing in recent days.

The Navy will not take any action against Roger's pirate group in the next few years.

The greater threat lies in the pirates known as the Four Emperors and those who want to replace them.

He felt that a bloody battle between pirates was about to begin.

"Let's go and enter the new world again!" Roger cheered loudly to everyone.

Everyone responded to him with an "Oh", including Cooper and Barrett, who joined in and were deeply influenced by this pirate group.

Only Arthur quietly held his knife, leaning against the cabin wall and watching the pirate group.
