The Pirates' Legend Begins on Roger's Ship

The deck of the warship became Arthur's training ground for the return trip these days.

He did not stand guard, was not assigned a job, and did not undergo rigorous training and military regulations like ordinary soldiers and new recruits who had just joined the navy.

Instead, he trained endlessly and worried about the upcoming battle.

As time passed day by day, the warship returned to the Grand Line from the East China Sea in two days under the ability of Drago.

The Grand Line is a sea area not far from the Gate of Justice leading to the three major world organizations.

Arthur looked at the 10,000-meter gate that stood on the top of the clouds in front of him, and it was difficult to hide the shock in his heart.

"Who built such a gate?" Arthur asked beside Drago on the deck of the warship.

In front of the warship was a huge whirlpool sea area, and the sea current was like a wild horse running away, galloping and surging.

The huge vortex showed a deep blue, as if it was connected to the sky, like an abyss.

Arthur was shocked. Looking ahead, he felt the endless vastness and power of the sea for the first time.

"Maybe it's a god." Dorag noticed the expression on Arthur's face, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said to him.

"I'm an atheist, Colonel." Arthur retracted the shock on his face and looked at Dorag:

"In my opinion, all gods are created by humans to worship and admire others. It is a kind of belief created by people to worship the heroes in their hearts."

This kind of belief, this theoretical speculation, makes sense no matter which world it is placed in.

If there is no belief, people will sooner or later live in nihilism, so people need to create beliefs and goals for themselves to make their lives fulfilled.

"Oh?" Dorag heard Arthur say such profound words, and suddenly asked him: "What is your belief?"

"Atheists have no belief." Arthur immediately answered Dorag:

"If I have to say one, my belief is myself."

Since coming to this world, Arthur has seen too many newspapers.

Since 1484, when Morgans founded the World Economic Journal, Arthur has been waiting for the newspaper every day to learn about the outside world.

From the newspaper, he found that the true face of this world is a world where the strong prey on the weak.

Arthur believes that only by becoming strong can he live freely and make up for many regrets in his heart.

He doesn't know whether his choice to go to sea with Dorag at the age of 14 is correct, and what kind of road is waiting for him in the future.

Because he is extremely unfamiliar with everything in this era and knows nothing.

"You can't do anything by yourself, Arthur." After Dorag said to Arthur, he saw a door of justice in front of him slowly opening.

The sea current became more turbulent, and two warships sailed out from the waters of Marinford.

It was Colonel Sakaski and Borsalino who they were waiting for.

The three naval monsters gathered together, and thousands of naval soldiers on the three warships cheered loudly.

"We will follow them to fight the pirates!"

"It's still the famous Golden Lion Pirates. I may go down in history!"

"I heard that last time Colonel Brusalino followed General Sengoku to stop Edward Newgate from expanding his power, he ate a natural devil fruit!"

"And Colonel Sakaski followed Garp to hunt down the Roger Pirates. He also became a capable person when he came back, and he is also a natural person!"

"They are all former admirals of the navy and disciples of Zephyr. We will definitely return triumphantly on this mission, oh oh oh!"

The soldiers cheered and were full of fighting spirit. They really hoped that one day they could stand out like these monster colonels.

Sometimes, those who can stand out among them are almost illusory, and most of them will become cannon fodder and die on the front line of the lineup confrontation.

Arthur was also suddenly shocked and thought: "They have eaten the devil fruit now? Doesn't this team have four natural types?"

Four natural devil fruits, three disaster-level, what does this mean?

This means that if the enemy does not have domineering power, they can only accept death.

Even if they have domineering power, they may not be able to defeat these geniuses.

Arthur felt that this mission was safe.

In his impression, although he had a strong prejudice against Sakaski, he did not think he was weak at all.

As soon as the three warships approached, Colonel Sakaski stood on the bow of his warship and asked Dorag, "Dorag, I heard that you have recruited a monster recruit during your days of patrolling in the East China Sea?"

Dorag's warship was in the center, Sakaski's warship was on the left, and Brusalino's warship was on the right.

The three warships sailed side by side,Towards the destination of the Grand Line mission.

The strong sea breeze whistled, blowing the sails of the three warships violently, speeding up the sailing speed of the warships.

Brusalino on the right saw Dragon use his ability and said enviously: "What a good ability, if the laser can be like this."

"Lasers can only explode... Colonel Borsalino." The soldiers on the ship looked at him with dead eyes and said.

"Oh, so that's the case, it seems that I can only move quickly by myself."

Arthur has been observing quietly and found that Dragon, Borsalino, and Sakaski don't seem to have a good relationship now, and they all have their own rebelliousness and personality.

Dragon did not respond to Sakaski's words.

Just at this time, Sakaski keenly noticed the strange look Arthur threw at him on Dragon's warship, which made him turn his head and look at Arthur.

Arthur's eyes were sharp, and his eyes were full of hostility and stared at Sakaski with a cold face.

Sakaski wore a cloak of justice, a gray sweater, trousers and casual shoes.

The navy cap was pulled down so deeply that the cold face was almost invisible.

Sakaski was dissatisfied with his comrade's hostile eyes, thinking that he was provoking him. He said:

"Kid, what do you mean by that look?"

Unconsciously, Arthur's fists were clenched tightly, and he still looked into his eyes.

Although he didn't like Sakaski very much, he had joined the navy now, and it seemed helpless.

You must think rationally and think from both sides.

Sakaski is now his comrade in the same camp, and he can't be biased against him because of personal feelings and do some irrational things.

Arthur replied to Sakaski: "I was born like this. If you don't like me, you can just not look at me."

Sakaski, who thought he had misunderstood, immediately withdrew his cold-blooded eyes from Arthur's face when he heard this.

"Arthur, don't look at Sakaski like that. He is different from me. He is a real iron-blooded soldier. If you want to spar with him, forget it. With your current combat experience, you will be seriously injured instantly."

Dragon was observing Arthur's expression and reminded him.

Arthur was disdainful of this: "Even if his combat experience is insufficient, he has learned the six styles of shaving, moon step, and storm kick. He won't be seriously injured instantly, right?"

The six styles have a high status in Arthur's heart. He doesn't think that he will be knocked down by two punches after sparring with Dragon for two days.

Borsalino, who has been observing Arthur, suddenly teased: "It's really scary. He is a hot-tempered boy. Have you learned to be domineering?"

"No." Arthur shook his head.

"Then shut up, boy, you will die." Borsalino advised.

He was wearing a yellow casual shirt, knee-length shorts, and a navy cap. The first impression he gave people was laziness.

It seemed that Arthur had become the focus of all the navy soldiers at this moment.

The news that he had learned the six styles on the first day had been spread throughout the navy by Garp.

He was also rumored to be the apprentice of Drago.

Upon learning this, Arthur did not take it seriously. It was not an exaggeration to say that someone taught him things and spent time with him to practice. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a master.

"Cooper..." Cooper hid behind Arthur and was frightened by the breath of Sakaski. He became very scared.

It seemed that he felt that he would be easily killed if he provoked him.

Arthur coaxed it: "Don't be afraid, Cooper, I won't let anyone hurt you."

Cooper was the only creature Arthur cared about. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was a family member. If anyone dared to hurt him, Arthur would be furious at the first time.

However, ordinary people could not beat Cooper. Although he had not learned any of the six styles these days, he was not an existence that ordinary people could defeat.

Sakaski spoke to everyone in a serious tone: "If we don't support the branch attacked by the Flying Pirates in the Grand Line, our navy's territory will be occupied by pirates!"

Hearing this, Drago, who was using his ability to speed up the sailing speed, said with an unhappy face:

"I'm speeding up now. It will take about half a day to reach the destination. Why are you panicking?"

"You're going to use your ability to cause large-scale casualties before you arrive, right? Bastard, shut up! Sakaski."

The relationship between the two seemed to be not very good, but after Drago refuted him sternly, Sakaski didn't say another word and remained silent.

Curious Arthur suddenly asked: "What's wrong with you two, Colonel?"

Drago glared at Sakaski and responded to Arthur beside him: "I don't like that guy. He is extremely dark and cold-blooded in his heart, although it is undeniable that he is a soldier with absolute justice."

"I have been with him on many missions, and I have been with him for many years.None of his men were ever left alive. "

Hearing Dragon talk about the rift between the two, Arthur quickly turned around and left the bow of the warship, sitting quietly on the deck.

It is now 13:00 noon, and the first battle will start in about half a day.

Arthur has begun to imagine that he can fight the enemy with passion like in the anime.

As a time traveler without a system, he thinks more rationally.

Even if this mission is to suppress the pirate captains who are expanding their power under the Golden Lion, it can be regarded as a small suppression war.

He thinks it is not a child's play, and he doesn't know how strong the pirate captains under the Golden Lion are.

Because, what he knows is the era when the plot of One Piece begins, and it is the era when Luffy went to sea.

The current era is the era when Roger's pirate group is famous and Rocks's remnants are just beginning to rise, and he knows nothing about it.

Knowing that he can reach the destination of the mission in half a day, Arthur's nerves are tense all day.

He showed the gun in his hand to Cooper and warned: "Cooper, when you see this thing, don't fight hard, understand? ”

I don’t want Cooper to be shot because of his cognition. Even if he is very strong, he can’t stop the damage caused by the bullet.

This is the first time that Arthur has been so anxious since he traveled through time.

He has lived a peaceful life in the East China Sea for ten years.

Going to the battlefield? He has never done such a thing. Before traveling through time, he was just a fitness lover who lay flat. How could he not panic?

"What's wrong with you? Arthur, you look very uneasy?" Dorag noticed his abnormality, came to him, squatted down, patted his shoulder, and asked.

Arthur said uncertainly: "I don't know, it seems that I feel that it is easy to die on the first mission, but I am very durable, it's okay."

Dorag took out a bounty order and stuffed it into Arthur's hand. As a genius, he must take good care of him.

Otherwise, if he dies in the battle, it will be a huge loss.

He saw Arthur holding the bounty order and said: "The man on the bounty order is called Apollo, and he is the target of my mission this time. ”

“At that time, we will not fight on the same island with Borsalino, Sakaski and others.”

Not going to fight together? Arthur thought that they would all fight together.

“Our destination this time is the Eivor Sea, the sea area where the Golden Lion Pirates are most active.”

“There are many islands not far apart, and there are many bases built by our navy. They are built to protect the safety of civilians in that area, and they are also supply bases for the navy.”

“The main mission goal is to prevent the Flying Pirates from occupying nearby bases and letting the navy lose control of that sea area.”

“Do you understand, Arthur?”

Arthur was already stunned when he saw the pirate with a bounty of 370 million Baileys in his hand.

This was more than 30 years ago, and the bounty was nearly 400 million?!

He asked Dragon curiously: “Is this person a remnant of the Rocks Pirates? "

Dragon nodded: "Yes, he is now the captain of the 14th Division of the Sky Pirates. If the battle does not go well, we only need to destroy the pirate group under his command."

Such a terrifying battle is just a training object for Sakaski, Borsalino, and Colonel Dragon?

Shouldn't top combat forces such as Garp and Sengoku suppress this level of guy?

Arthur began to doubt and glanced at the three people nearby. He didn't know how strong these guys were when they were young.

A few days ago, he was crippled by Dragon with two punches. Although he was stronger than Dragon, he didn't gain any advantage, nor could he pose any threat to him.

"Did Kizaru mention Haki just now?" Arthur recalled what Kizaru said just now, "Then they must have learned Haki now, right?"

Seeing the astonishment on Arthur's face, he felt that he shouldn't have told him so early, and he would be afraid to face him. Dragon smiled embarrassedly:

"Haha, don't worry, it's too early for you to deal with such a guy now."

"Early? "Arthur didn't understand. Although he was very nervous, he wanted to fight him: "What do I need to do?"

Drager assigned him the task:

"Stop other pirates from attacking the base on the island, but be careful, the intelligence is sometimes inaccurate."

"If you encounter a strong guy, you can escape with the six-style razor. I don't want a rare talent like you to be killed."

The warship sailed out of the Delta Flow Sea and sailed at full speed towards the destination, the Aiwo Sea.

...

Around 9 p.m. --

Grand Line, Aiwo Sea.

On a naval base called "Lionheart Island", the thick smoke of war lit up the night, and about 4 large pirate ships were docked on the coast.

It's hard to see clearly in the dark nightChu.

They are launching an attack on the naval base on the island.

The sound of gunfire and cannons on the coast continued, and the navy on the island was doing its best to resist the pirates' attack.

On the deck of the main ship of a pirate ship, a pirate covered in blood ran behind a tall and burly man,

"Captain Apollo! The navy's support is here. There are about three ships, and one is coming to us on the sea less than 400 meters away from us!"

A strong storm roared from the warship, and the man with battle wounds and a domineering look looked at the warship in the distance with disdain,

"Garp's son is here... That bastard, in the Valley of Gods, for his own selfish interests, robbed one of our treasures! He gave that treasure to his son!"

The storm just now was a show of strength given to the pirates by Dragon.

Feeling the violent storm blowing the huge ship, such a terrifying natural force was actually obtained by the navy, Apollo was very angry.

"What should we do? If he uses his devil fruit power to the fullest, our people can't stand the consumption."

Bulu Bulu - During the conversation, the Den Den Mushi on Apollo rang.

He answered the Den Den Mushi and heard a mellow voice:

"Apollo! The navy has sent 2,400 soldiers and three natural monsters. Be careful, we have been targeted by the magma imps!"

"Magma imps? Sakaski?!" Apollo was a little shocked when he heard the name.

In less than a moment, boom, the Den Den Mushi was forcibly interrupted...

Apollo looked at the sky above a nearby island that was burning with war.

Countless magma fists were launched from Sakaski's warships and rushed into the dark clouds. They fell into the island like the end of the world, bombing indiscriminately.

The screams on the island were heard by everyone in the nearby archipelago.

Arthur's pupils dilated, his neck moved with the magma fists rushing into the clouds, and he looked at the scene in front of him in shock.

"Isn't this... Akainu's meteor volcano? He launched such a large-scale bombing on the island before landing and fighting. Doesn't he care about the feelings of his friendly forces?!"

He thought to himself, and at this moment he realized that Dragon's evaluation of Sakaski during the day was simply too low.

Sakaski didn't like to talk. Once he got the answer, no matter what his comrades said to him, he would not argue with his companions.

His ruthlessness to the enemy can only be described as "extreme", mainly because he even killed his companions and civilians.

The sky was dyed red, and countless magma fists fell from the sky like raindrops.

They smashed into the island with boiling heat, including the coast, which was set off a raging sea of ​​fire, and the sea water was boiled.

The buildings, pirates, and navy on the island were submerged by magma, and the buildings were destroyed in an instant, and the raging fire burned everything.

"Help! This is hell!"

"It's so hot...!"

"Stop it, Colonel Sakaski, we are companions--!"

The people on the island fled in panic, screaming and crying.

The lava fists kept falling, as if it was the judgment of the end of the world, ruthlessly destroying everything on the island.

The earth was shaking, and the air was filled with thick smoke and pungent smells.

The entire sea area was shrouded in fear and despair, without any vitality.

The human purgatory on the island turned into a red lotus hell in an instant.

"You've done too much, Sakaski." Borsalino said calmly while holding the Den Den Mushi connected to Sakaski's warship, looking at the sky with a calm face, as if he was used to such a scene.

"Although it will cause some accidental injuries, we must not let any evil escape, and we must give them a devastating blow!" Sakaski responded without any reduction in the intensity of the bombing.

On the coast of Lionheart Island, the cannons on the pirate ship fired at Dragon's warship.

However, it was cut in the air by a sharp gust of wind and could not pose any threat to the warship.

Drag witnessed Sakaski's style again and angrily cursed: "That cold-blooded guy Sakaski has started again. There are still many innocent civilians on the island..."
