Chapter 130: Changing Times
Above the Grand Line, the New World waters led by the Sky Pirates.
"Roger turned himself in? What a joke!"
boom!
A gunshot was heard in the magnificent hall, and a pirate who was reporting the news was shot in the leg and fell to the ground screaming.
"You should have experienced for yourself how powerful that guy is! It's ridiculous that the incompetent navy could arrest him."
"Please calm down, Lord Shiqi." The subordinate tried to persuade him, but Shiqi ignored him.
Looking at Shiqi walking up the stairs alone.
No one knew that Shiki, who couldn't accept Roger's arrest, flew to the Navy Headquarters alone.
……
Donghai·Roger Town.
The flagless sailing ship led by Stussy approached the shore.
After paying the guard fee, she went to the island alone.
Following the instructions on the card in his hand, he arrived outside a basement bar called "Gol D. Roger's Bar".
"You really have become a...pirate." Stussy looked at the name on the photo for a while, then walked towards the bar.
I didn't pay any attention to the big words "Closed Today" on the sign.
She walked into the bar with Arthur's weapon.
Behind the simple bar, I saw the bar owner yelling at Arthur, who was wearing a thin black robe in front of the bar.
"I've already told you, if you're not open for the next few days, get out!" the bar owner continued.
When he learned that Roger had been arrested and publicly executed in the town a week later, he was unwilling to make money from it.
So close the bar.
"Shut up." Arthur ignored his scolding and drank quietly: "Here, I'll give you two sea king-like balls to replenish them, or you can take them to the market and sell them to the rich. It's enough to pay for a year's wine."
"What's so noisy? This is my bar, you are trespassing...!" The boss looked at the two big eggs handed over by Arthur and continued to curse with a red face.
I've never met such an unreasonable guy.
"Hmm?" The door of the bar was pushed open again, and the owner looked over alertly: "Who?"
Stussy, wearing a dress and suspender stockings on her legs, walked in seductively.
The boss was stunned by the exquisite product, his eyes were full of hearts.
"oh…!"
"Arthur, the source on Beehive Island said that Cooper has been tortured for almost two years. Are you still drinking leisurely in a place like this?" Stussy told Arthur his intelligence.
"What, do you know each other?" The bar owner looked between Arthur and Stussy.
I found that they were all young people.
Arthur drank his wine and remained silent for a long time. He responded to Stussy with some sadness:
"I don't have a knife. I can't save Cooper even if I go to Beehive Island." Arthur looked at Stussy with disappointment in his eyes. "It would be a waste if I go there."
"You've been gone for more than a year. Why do you feel your personality has changed?" Stussy sat on the chair next to Arthur: "Give me a glass of red wine, thank you."
I noticed that Arthur seemed to have lost some of his indifference.
"We'll only accept you two, and this won't happen again." The boss was helpless. He looked at the astonishing one billion Baileys on the wall and knew he couldn't do anything about Arthur.
"Here is your knife, Arthur. It is rare to see you without being covered in wounds."
Arthur's eyes widened as he looked at the long strip of grey cloth that Stussy pushed towards him.
He quickly pulled it open and pulled his knife out: "Ice Dragon...! Where did you find it?"
"We spent 1.2 billion berries to get the Aurora Islands." Stussy raised his glass as usual, wanting to clink glasses with Arthur.
"Now... I can go rescue it."
Arthur was extremely happy to have the saber back on him.
He raised his glass, clinked it with Stussy, and then started drinking.
“I haven’t had a drink in over a year.”
"So what did you do?"
“I’ll do it…”
The two of them felt happy.
Arthur talked about his own affairs.
As he drank glass after glass of wine, Arthur kept observing the clone, Stussy, whose face was gradually getting drunker.
"Hahahaha!" The drunker Stussy got, the happier she laughed. "Become a woman? What are you doing, Arthur? You? Be a servant?"
"Laugh all you want, but don't tell anyone. You should be programmed to keep your mouth shut, right?" Arthur didn't care at all.
No one knows what he wants to do.
Only he knew that what he did might bring him eternal life.
"I...in my setting...I have never laughed so heartily at others...Pu...Puchi...Haha!" Stussy couldn't imagine it.
Arthur looked so scarred, and he wondered what it was like to be a woman.
Others will be scared when they see it.
"What are you talking about?" The boss looked shocked and didn't understand what they were saying.
What Beihai, what turning into a woman? It's incredible.
As a Donghai native, it's normal that I haven't seen the world.
"Hehe..." Stussy stared at Arthur, who looked calm and indifferent, and couldn't help but:
"There is also news, Arthur, that a large group of supernova pirates have gathered on this island, so you should be careful."
After saying that, Stussy left, fearing that something unspeakable would happen between him and Arthur if he stayed any longer.
As one of the kings and emperors of the underworld, there are many busy things to take care of.
After a while, Arthur also stood up and prepared to leave, pointing at the giant sea king testicles that were bigger than the front desk table:
"Goodbye, boss. Do you want that thing? If not, I'll give you cash."
"Of course!"
Arthur leaves the bar.
Back to the main street of Rogue Town.
Disguised pirates are everywhere, gathering on this island.
"Long time no see... Ice Dragon." Arthur pulled out the blade and stroked the blade of the Ice Dragon.
Feeling the dragon patterns bumping against it, and the feeling of it absorbing his own domineering aura.
Just like caressing a woman's body, indulge it and cherish it.
"That kind of thing will never happen again."
On the street, a young man wearing a floral shirt and with eagle-like eyes suddenly came up to Arthur.
"The ultimate swordsman, Arthur, right?" The young man, carrying a huge black knife on his back, greeted Arthur.
He looked at Arthur carefully with his sharp eyes.
Cold sweat and fear broke out on my forehead inadvertently.
"Forget it. It's too early to challenge you now. It's just courting death."
Arthur frowned and listened to him calmly.
He recognized at a glance who the young man in front of him was.
It is the future world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk.
"Fufufufu~, after the battle with Redfield, you disappeared for over a year?" A burst of laughter came from a nearby alley.
A young man in a pink feather coat spoke to him again.
"That woman just now, was she Stussy? What is your relationship?"
Doflamingo, Arthur knew him in another identity.
In Beihai, this guy is a notorious mafia boss.
"Oh no, let's talk next time we meet. A troublesome guy is approaching." Doflamingo went deep into the alley and disappeared beside Arthur.
In the distance, on the town streets.
Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, came closer to Arthur in a coat:
"You're here too? Interesting... After all, you're a member of Roger's pirate group, so you still have some conscience."
Crocodile's deep voice entered Arthur's mind.
He said this to Arthur and left without any hostility.
He dared to argue with Barrett, but he didn't dare to offend Arthur.
"Ah! Arthur, why are you here?!" A red-nosed boy ran up to Arthur:
"Do you know that in the past two years, the incident of you being uploaded to the sea has gone viral!"
"Bucky..." Arthur rolled his eyes at them both.
Along with Buggy came Shanks.
"Bucky, don't get close to this kind of person. He is just taking advantage of everyone around him. There is no friendship at all."
"What are you talking about! When he was on the ship, weren't you the one who admired him the most?!"
"But didn't the last thing he said when he got off the boat mean that he didn't consider us as partners?"
"Do you know what this guy did for our escape after he got off the ship? Shanks, why have you changed?"
I saw the two of them quarreling loudly in the street because of this matter.
Arthur ignored him and started walking down the street with a knife.
The supernovas and young people everywhere made Arthur feel a little old for a moment.
After Roger turned himself in, it seemed as if times had changed.
He felt like a man from an old era, out of place with these guys.
"Time flies by so fast, huh...?"
