Chapter 111: The Battle of Edwo: Old Friends Reunited, but Things Have Changed
Arthur felt the pain in his body and breathed steadily.
Jumping onto the deck of a navy ship that did not faint due to Roger's domineering aura.
The toes touched the deck for a moment.
Colonel Flying Squirrel, who was crouching on the ground and sweating all over, stood up immediately.
"The ultimate swordsman..." He looked at Arthur's bloody appearance in horror, gritted his teeth, drew the samurai sword from his waist, rushed to him and swung it down.
Arthur instinctively dodged for a moment, then slashed at the flying squirrel, knocking it to the deck.
“What kind of power is this…” The flying squirrel’s eyes turned white, and its body was bearing the huge force of the slashing.
I couldn't believe that the guy in front of me had a black robe stained with blood and was covered in fatal wounds.
There is such strength and willpower.
"Shouldn't he be... dying soon?" The flying squirrel thought as he looked up at Arthur in front of him.
Covered in blood, he looked like a demon in his eyes.
"Flying squirrel, what are you doing? A guy like this can be knocked down with just one sword!" Doberman, who had recovered from the pressure of the domineering color, saw the flying squirrel being chopped unconscious.
He immediately stepped forward with a knife in his hand, and with all his strength, he chopped down at Arthur's head with his knife in his hand.
Arthur's eyelids were heavy, and he reacted quickly to turn and look at him, swinging his knife violently.
The moment the blades touched, the forces of the two collided.
Boom! Another air explosion resounded around the deck.
Under Arthur's brute force, Doberman's body had lost balance unconsciously, and the blade in his hand was shattered on the spot.
"What!" Doberman gripped the hilt tightly, unable to believe that his domineering blade had broken.
He leaned back and Arthur slashed his chest with a knife.
Pfft!
Blood spurted from his chest and Dauberman fell to the ground.
He tried to stand up from the deck with a reluctant look on his face, but found that his injuries were depriving him of his strength.
His brain became dizzy and he soon passed out.
Arthur stared at the Sengoku who was fighting with Rayleigh in the distance: “You’ll be dying eager to catch me, General Sengoku.
Sengoku's expression trembled, and he was unable to extricate himself from Rayleigh's attack to deal with Arthur.
It seemed as if the Roger Pirates were ready to die.
The combat effectiveness of every crew member has skyrocketed.
"Stop talking nonsense! You are the most heinous traitor in the history of the Navy!" Colonel Stoloberry rushed towards Arthur with a knife.
He felt like he was in a dream.
In the blink of an eye, Doberman and the Flying Squirrel were killed instantly by a dying Arthur.
How could such a thing be possible? He simply couldn't believe the facts before his eyes.
He approached Arthur and swung his knife suddenly.
The moment Arthur rushed in front of Stoloberry, he gripped the hilt of the knife and swung at him.
A sound of a blade breaking was heard, and the sharp ice dragon blade even destroyed the saber in Stoloberi's hand.
It fell directly onto Stoloberg.
Knock him to the ground.
"How is this possible... You shouldn't have any extra strength..." Stoloberi lay on the ground in disbelief and soon fainted.
"There's still a long way to go. I feel better than ever before." Arthur said to him, holding the knife in one hand, and raised his left hand to touch the air in front of him:
“The world became so clear, as if time had slowed down.”
"Storm Kick!" Dalmesia, who was maintaining the human-beast form of the Dog-Dog Fruit, saw Arthur distracted.
He immediately swung his sharp Storm Kick towards Arthur through the air.
Suddenly, a red light flashed in Arthur's eyes.
He turned around and quickly locked onto Dalmesia.
The blade in his hand trembled slightly, deflecting the slash he swung at him.
Then, he rushed forward and flashed under Dalmesia.
With a loud bang, the air on the deck was exploded by Arthur's speed, and blood spilled all over the ground.
Dalmesia showed fear on her face, and she reacted and instinctively fought back, but her body couldn't keep up with the speed.
"cut!"
He could only watch as Arthur's blade pierced through his chest.
Dalmesia vomited blood on the spot and stared at Arthur in front of him:
"It's useless! I'm a devil fruit user, this kind of injury is of no use to me!"
After saying that, he raised his right hand, extended his index finger and nodded to Arthur.
“Finger gun…!”
The penetrating fingers rushed directly to Arthur's face.
Arthur looked calm and tilted his neck to avoid his move.
The blade was quickly pulled out from his chest, and a fierce slash passed through the chest of his huge human-beast body.
He was chopped down and laid prone on the deck, overlapping with the other unconscious colonel.
"Uh...ah..." Dalmesia struggled for a while at Arthur's feet, spitting blood, and then returned to her human form.
He was completely defeated and fainted at Arthur's feet.
"If one strike doesn't work, won't two strikes be enough?" When Arthur was about to finish them off, he suddenly felt a murderous intent behind him.
"You traitor!" Seeing everyone fall down, Ghost Spider quickly rushed over with a knife.
He used the Six Styles: Shaving to quickly approach Arthur's back and kicked the ice behind him that was freezing his injuries.
"Zhui Mang!" Arthur's face was pale, without a trace of blood.
He stood firmly on his horse stance, turned around with the knife in hand and slashed with an extremely fast speed, and the Ice Dragon Blade slashed towards the Ghost Spider's body.
Before the ghost spider's feet could land, Arthur's knife had already cut him.
The blade lodged in the flesh of his body.
He was slammed into the deck from mid-air.
"Ah!" Ghost Spider screamed, and his body fell straight to the bottom of the deck under the force of Arthur's slash, losing his combat effectiveness.
"Arthur..." In the distance, in front of the side railing of a warship, Gion, who had come with Crane, supported himself on the railing with both hands.
Looking at Arthur's miserable appearance.
"Let's go and make peace, little Gion." Tsuru noticed Gion's expression and asked her:
"That guy has wanted to kill you many times. This is an opportunity." He was shocked by Arthur's incredible vitality.
When Tsurumi Arthur was about to finish off Zephyr's disciples, he quickly flashed in front of Arthur.
He lifted up his gloves and grabbed Arthur's Ice Dragon Blade with his bare hands, forcibly stopping him from killing the future seedlings of the Navy.
"Stop, Arthur, they are the future of the navy. If you kill them, there will be more pirates in the future who will harm the world's civilians."
Suddenly, Arthur looked at the Ice Dragon's blade in amazement, as if it had been washed.
Like soft clothes that have just been washed, they flutter and move lightly.
"What does it have to do with me?" Arthur's face was extremely gloomy. He looked up at the white-haired He: "They are new seedlings. Who will take care of my feelings? Everyone wants me to die!"
"Let me wash away all the darkness in your heart..." Crane said, and slapped Arthur's chest with his palm very quickly.
"Ah!" Arthur roared and quickly dodged after hearing her words.
I know how terrifying the power of the Washi Fruit is.
Dodging Crane's palm, Arthur quickly raised his leg and swung it towards her in front of him: "Range Foot Kai Bird!"
Boom!
Seeing this, Tsuru could only retract his hand and use his Armament Haki to block Arthur's attack.
The dragon-like swiftness of the Storm Kicks slashed through the air, knocking Vice Admiral He's body out of the warship where Arthur was.
"Physical skills are not your strong point, Grandma Crane. At least it doesn't work for me now." Arthur shouted at her, looking at the smooth ice dragon in his hand.
Even the tough ice dragon was transformed into this by the power of the Xixi Fruit.
If she touches me, wouldn't all the hatred and ambition that I have been brewing for so many years be over?
"If I let you cleanse my current heart, I will no longer be myself, do you understand?"
He shouted at the crane and watched it crash into the mast of a nearby warship.
The mast broke, raising a cloud of dust that buried her.
"Arthur, are you okay?" In an instant, another familiar figure jumped from another warship and stood on the deck in front of Arthur.
Arthur looked at the mature woman in front of him, with a smile on his face.
"You have grown into a beautiful lady, Gion, uh... ahem..."
As he finished speaking, Arthur felt a churning sound in his lungs.
The pain and itchiness made his body sink and he suddenly knelt on the ground and coughed up a lot of blood.
Looking at Arthur, who had completely changed, Gion appeared calm on the surface, but was actually worried in his heart.
She wanted to go up and help Arthur up, but she couldn't do that because of her status as a navy.
Gion forced a smile and watched Arthur not take advantage of the situation:
"Now that you've become like this, how can I still be the same person as before?"
