The Pirate's Ultimate Swordsman, One Man is the Royal Group

G·12 On the north coast of the base, on the beach of a village pier at sunset.

As the sun sets, the area where the sea and sky meet is dyed golden red.

He was shirtless, his bronze skin and dense battle wounds gleaming in the afterglow.

The sea breeze blew past, and sweat slid down his strong back.

The black knife Ice Dragon cut through the air in his hand, making a sharp whistling sound.

In the past, every swing of the sword carried a tremendous force.

Now I am as light as a swallow and don’t feel the heaviness of strength.

The waves crashed against the shore, interweaving with the light of the sword, as if there was only this man and this sword left in the world.

He spent the entire day here wielding a knife with his upper body naked, doing physical recovery training.

"Every day I can vaguely feel that my body is recovering, even if it's very little, it's better than being a waste all the time."

Arthur's pale face regained some color and looked much better than before.

My muscles and bones no longer ache and I can now do simple knife-wielding training.

The spirit is no longer weak and can be like a normal person.

Compared to the physique that recovered from serious injuries in just two days, the difference now is simply worlds apart.

But his body's strength was like that of an ant, so Arthur lowered his head and stood on the beach under the sunset.

It was as if there was an infinitely heavy mountain, tightly restricting him.

No longer could I feel the strength that was enough to scare everyone.

"The Ice Sword Master is a super villain. He is scarier than a ghost..."

In the distance, children's songs can be heard from the village dock where the good night is shining.

Arthur, feeling powerless, looked in the direction of the sound and saw the children holding hands and spinning in circles with a melancholy look on his face.

"Hahaha…!"

Arthur covered his face and laughed like a madman, thinking:

“The person you call scarier than a demon…now even lifting a knife is painful…

Not even as good as an ordinary person...I even lost my most important...most precious partner..."

An extremely painful emotion spread through Arthur at the thought of starting over.

Unsure whether his strength could be recovered, he became extremely frustrated.

The ice dragon at his waist sensed something, and the emotion was exactly the same as the crying he felt in the Sabaody Archipelago a few weeks ago.

But Arthur kept all of it deep in his heart and never revealed it again.

Arthur sheathed his blade, walked past the children, and headed straight for the village and back into town.

All the muscles in his body that had been trained from swinging a knife were weak and painful.

He had never felt this kind of growth since he traveled through time.

The recovery speed before was such that no matter what kind of training I did, except for fighting, I would never feel this fast.

"Breaking News!! The World Government is holding the World Conference ahead of schedule!

The purpose is to liberate the great war beyond the sea.

The great pirate who rules the land! Allied nations from all over the world, as well as kings of non-allying nations, all participate!

Evil and justice are holding peace talks together. This is unprecedented news!"

In the crowd, Arthur, in tattered black robe, suddenly stopped among the crowd on the street in the sunset.

To stop the war...

He wanted to make him and all the injustice and anger he had experienced so far return to peace and fall under the rule of the Celestial Dragons once again.

It was just a dream.

"It's just right. There are hundreds of kings, rulers, and overlords in one world. It's time to unify them."

Arthur was completely desperate and was ready to go with the determination to die.

If the world returns to the rule of the Celestial Dragons, then what does everything he has done matter?

What does it matter what about the guys around him who sacrificed their lives for his ambition?

I will never let this be in vain.

"I have endured many times, for years, decades, and this time I will never disappear and endure again."

As the sun set, Arthur found Enelu enjoying wine and women in the bar.

Back to the naval base, on the playground, I found Sakaski doing recovery training.

On the playground, sweat soaked Sakaski's whole body and the bandages on his body.

When he noticed Arthur coming, he stopped training and looked at him seriously:

"Arthur, how dare you appear in front of me?"

Arthur folded his arms, sat on the sand not far from Sakaski, and said to him:

"I have something to ask you. It's not to ask for anything, but to ask you one last time."

"I have nothing to say to pirates! You want to use me? Dream on!" Sakaski answered firmly, his face full of hatred for Arthur.

Just as I turned around and wanted to leave, Arthur's voice came:

"If the peace talks at this World Conference are successful, the justice you uphold will forever be ruled by scum like the Celestial Dragons and become a slave to time!

What you want to do, Sakaski, the peaceful world and dream that you expect in your heart will never be realized!

You can only be a humble and loyal dog, forever submitting to those who treat humans as inferior species.

Yes, once the peace talks are successful, your grandfather may be summoned again and return to serve them as the boss of an organization.

The supreme power of the controller can also easily deprive others of their lives and eventually become a scum, haha."

Hearing these words, Sakaski suddenly turned around, his body as fast as a beast, and punched Arthur angrily.

"Have you mentioned the pain that you can't do anything about?!" Arthur's eyes widened when he saw this.

Gritting his teeth, he used all of his current strength to swing at the incoming fist.

"What do you know about me!!!" Sakaski roared in response to Arthur's words.

As soon as the words were spoken, the two fists collided instantly.

However, Sakaski's ruthless fist easily crushed Arthur's soft and weak fist.

Breaking through his resistance, a powerful punch hit Arthur's face and blasted him into the yellow sand of the playground.

The skull was severely hit and a strong tinnitus instantly rang through Arthur's brain.

Even consciousness was taken away in an instant, and he fell into a brief coma.

Sakaski unclenched his fist and looked at Arthur, who had lost consciousness in the sand of the playground.

He stared at him seriously and said:

"You're so stupid! Look at how useless you are now. Do you still have the qualifications to brag in front of me?!"

At this moment, a bolt of lightning instantly struck Sakaski.

Sakaski's Observation Haki sensed it instantly, and the moment the lightning struck him, his body turned into elements in advance.

boom!

A big hole was opened in Sakaski's chest, and his skin turned into a layer of hot flowing magma, easily breaking Enel's Arthur attack.

"The crimes you have committed have caused all the civilians in the world to suffer and die!" Sakaski looked at Enelu with contempt and ignored him.

Arthur raised his hand to lift his chin, which was covered with blood from his nose, and said to the unconscious man:

“Look at you now, you are nothing but a piece of trash whose life can be taken away at any time.

Your abuse of your arrogance and burning your life to realize your ambitions also means that your era is over.

Give up, you can't do anything now!"
