Above the Pirate King

Chapter 822 The Fate of the Protagonist

"I was just joking with you!" Arthur looked at Shanks' bewildered expression, and smiled, "I know Luffy's grandfather, and I know his father even more. Uncle, so you don't have to worry about what I do to him!"

joke?

After Shanks and Ben Beckman looked at each other, they frowned!

They didn't confirm whether what Arthur said was true or not!

It's fine if it's true, but if it's fake, it's a lie, and they believe it so easily, then Windmill Village is really in danger!

"Why don't you believe it?"

Arthur saw the doubts of the two, and said with some disdain, "Just the two of you, there is no value for me to deceive!"

It is true!
Although the current Shanks has some strength, but that's it!

It's not worth Arthur's cheating at all!

Moreover, Shanks currently has no value to use or has any conflict of interest with Arthur, and Arthur is too lazy to lie to him.

Because of this, Arthur is joking with him here now. If Shanks is really useful, or if there is a conflict of interest between the two, Arthur will naturally not be as easy to talk to as he is now!
the other side!
Listening to Arthur's disdainful words, Shanks and Ben Beckman secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and let go of their hearts a lot!

If Arthur kept speaking in a gentle tone, Shanks and the others might worry that he had other purposes. Instead, the disdainful words now made them feel that what Arthur said was probably true!

"Then what is your purpose here?" Shanks asked after hesitating for a while.

"Hehe!" Arthur smiled disdainfully, and said, "What's the purpose of coming here? I'm just doing something and passing by here, so I stopped by to see my eldest nephew!"

Well, that's a half-truth!

It's true that Luffy did drop in to see it, and the fake is that he didn't do anything, but came to see the famous scene where Shanks was humiliated by the Bandit King and his arm was bitten!

Of course, it is impossible for him to say the latter!

Therefore, the only way to fool Shanks is to do something to pass by as an excuse!
Shanks thought for a while, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "In this case, we won't bother you!"

As he said that, he stood up, and after taking a deep look at Arthur, he turned and walked outside. When Ben Beckman saw this, he also stood up and followed!

Arthur's words have reached this point, and the two of them naturally have no reason to stay!

Arthur explained their doubts, and with Arthur's strength, this was already quite a face for them.

They can't force Arthur to give some substantive evidence anymore, can they?
Not to mention whether they can force it with their strength or whether Arthur has substantive evidence, let alone Shanks' character, he can't do such a thing! ——
On the way back!
Both Shanks and Ben Beckman are full of preoccupations!
"Boss, how's it going?"

At this time, Laqi Lu came out from the shadow of a house near the bar, looked at the two people with preoccupied faces, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't we talk well? Didn't you figure out the other party's purpose?"

"No, figured it out!" Shanks shook his head and said.

"Then why do you still look so preoccupied, Boss!" Jesus Bu came out from the shadow of another room and asked doubtfully.

"But we're not sure what he said is true!" Shanks said in a deep voice.

While eating chicken legs, Laqi Lu asked curiously, "Boss, what should we do next?"

"Let's go!"

Shanks thought for a while, and said seriously.

"Boss, aren't you not sure whether what he said is true or not? Let's go?" Jesus Bu raised his eyebrows and asked involuntarily.

"I'm not sure, but he really doesn't need to lie to me, and my instinct tells me that he really has no ill intentions towards Luffy or the village!" Shanks said solemnly.

"In that case, let's go!" Ben Beckman nodded.

For Shanks' intuition, he still believes in it!
When the other two heard Ben Beckman say this, they didn't make any more sense!

Both the captain and the deputy captain have decided to go, so let's go!
They trusted their judgment.
-
"Ha~ Really, a disturbing dream in the middle of the night!"

After Shanks left, Arthur yawned, complained, and fell asleep!
Early the next morning!
"Good morning, Makino!" Arthur yawned and sat in front of the bar.

When he brought Arthur back yesterday, Makino and Arthur had already exchanged names!

"Good morning, Arthur!" Makino greeted with a smile.

"Anything for breakfast?" Arthur asked.

"Yes!" Makino said with a gentle smile, "There are milk, coffee, bread, cereal, salad, as well as French fries, fried steak, fried chicken legs, and fried chicken wings. What would you like to eat?"

"A glass of milk, a piece of bread, and another fried steak and fried chicken legs!" Arthur said after thinking about it.

"Okay, please wait a moment!" Makino nodded, turned around and entered the kitchen behind the bar to prepare!

And this time!
"Clap!"

The door of the bar was pushed open, and a naughty little boy wearing a red vest, red shorts, flip-flops, and a straw hat rushed in!

It was Luffy!

"Magino, makino, breakfast, breakfast!"

As soon as he came in, Luffy sat on the chair at the bar very consciously, and shouted.

"It's Luffy! Wait a minute!" Makino poked his head out of the kitchen and said softly.

"Ok!"

After Luffy nodded heavily, he looked around restlessly!
And at this moment, he saw Arthur sitting beside him!
He was also at the port yesterday and saw Arthur, but because of the reason Shanks left at that time, he was sad and didn't care about Arthur.

And when he woke up today, he forgot all the sadness of parting from Shanks yesterday, so he noticed Arthur!
not talking!

Luffy looked up and down curiously Arthur!
"Uncle, who are you?" Luffy asked curiously after watching for a while.

"Uncle, he's a passing businessman!" Arthur looked at Luffy, who was still young and a little cute, and stretched out his hand involuntarily, rubbing his head.

But after Luffy dodged subconsciously for a while, he was still rubbed straight.

"Businessman?" Luffy asked curiously after pushing away Arthur's big hand, "Is it the same kind of person who comes to our village every month to sell things?"

Although Windmill Village is a small and remote village, there are merchant ships coming every month.

The main purpose is to buy some things in the windmill village and sell various small things needed by the windmill village.

To put it bluntly, these merchant ships are the same as the peddlers who walked around the streets in the 80s before Arthur traveled.

"No!" Arthur understood what Luffy said, so he shook his head and said, "It's not the same! They just buy and sell some small commodities, but uncle's merchant ships travel all over the world, the great waterways, and the new world! "

"Four Seas? Great Channel? New World? What are these places?" Luffy asked with a confused look.

For him at this moment, Donghai is already the widest range he can understand!

"What place!" Arthur sighed, and introduced these places to Luffy, "The four seas refer to the East Sea, West Sea, South Sea, and North Sea, and the East Sea is here."

While introducing, an idea suddenly appeared in Arthur's mind!
When he used to read novels, he often saw novels that said that the protagonists would be watched by some kind of heaven or the will of the world, and that their fate was fixed and unchangeable!

At this time, Luffy in front of him is undoubtedly the protagonist of One Piece World!
If he intervenes, will Luffy change his fate?

Thinking about it, the curiosity in Arthur's heart became heavier!
Try?

Try it!

In the end, he decided to try to intervene to see if the fate of the so-called protagonist is really unchangeable!

If it is true, then he must be careful!
Because that means that there is really a way of heaven and the will of the world.

And once he violates the so-called way of heaven, the so-called will of the world, or goes against the protagonist Luffy, he will definitely be targeted by the world.
