Chapter 138: Beehive Island Incident: Fierce Battle on Beehive Island
Arthur seemed calm and composed in the face of John's conditions, analysis, and threats.
Every second the opponent doesn't attack, he gets one more second to recover his physical strength.
John was also right. After Arthur saw through the world, his personality became too withdrawn.
Partners, friends, crew.
It can be said that none of these factors exist.
But he did not come unprepared.
Even if no one helped, Arthur had sought help from Xia Qi before coming.
Investigated the nature of John.
He is a powerful pirate who is one of the top fighters of this era.
But in the eyes of the navy, he was not worthy of leaving a name and credit in the world.
From the outside, he looks like a overlord with a big vision and strong strength, who dares to compete with the big pirates.
In fact, he is a hypocritical, greedy, selfish and despicable person.
Once you decide on something, you will insist on doing it no matter who tries to persuade you.
Stubborn and narrow-minded.
During the nearly two years that Arthur disappeared.
John took all the treasures left by the Rocks Pirates to Beehive Island.
He hid them all on an island somewhere in the world, wanting to keep them all for himself.
Almost all of the pirates and his men who participated in burying the treasure were killed by him silently.
The news leaked out, resulting in the pirates on Beehive Island now seemingly living in peace.
In fact, everyone has his own ulterior motives.
"I have investigated your background, kid." John continued:
"An orphan from Rogue Town, without a father or a mother, he lived alone in this world at the age of four, with an eagle as his companion. It was not until he grew up and went out to sea that his talent was discovered by the navy."
Arthur was stunned by this.
Rogge Town? The place where he grew up was under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Goa.
It is called Rapeseed Village, and it is a black household.
I guess it was when Dorag was registered that the name was really changed to Rogue Town according to what Arthur said back then.
"He was recruited into the navy and became a genius with a great reputation."
"The Judicial Island incident, the destruction of the Judicial Island town with one sword, and the defection to the navy have attracted close attention from all forces in the world."
"I don't have any relatives, no background, and I haven't even found a trustworthy person after being out at sea for so long... Hahahaha."
John talked about Arthur's past and found it very funny.
"It's really pitiful that the navy has been hunting him down as a traitor!"
"Now..."
John laughed and laughed, but he had to recognize the guy in front of him who broke into the Honeycomb Island alone with an eagle in his left hand and a knife in his right hand.
"You dare to come to Beehive Island to seek death... I'll give you one more minute. If you can't figure it out, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish."
Arthur said nothing the whole time, and after listening to John's words, he had already looked at all of his clones.
Found a clue.
That is, none of the clones have armbands on their left arms.
There is only John, holding a bottle of liquor in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, with an arm ring that looks like an eye on his left arm.
With the help of his many years of memory, Arthur naturally knew...
That armband is the treasure left behind by the Rocks Pirates that John took for himself...
The treasure map key left behind.
In later generations, this treasure is enough to make Buggy one of the Four Emperors...
It was also specially created by John using the Clone Devil Fruit.
Prevent too many keys from being found by others.
"I do have a third option!" Arthur didn't care at all. John investigated his past and responded.
"Haha... tell me." John was a little surprised. He didn't expect Arthur to dare to resist.
But the other party's huge value is worth spending your time and energy to listen.
"I will hack you all to death and freeze you in this skull castle to pay for my child's blood debt with blood!"
The moment Arthur said this, his body sank again and he entered a fully concentrated combat state.
The ice beneath his feet also cracked due to his momentum.
"Ahem..." John got the answer, and was so angry that the blood and veins in his forehead bulged.
"After saying so much, you're still wasting my time...!" John smashed the bottle, and his original body pulled out his blade with both hands, attacking Arthur with all his strength.
"Start, stroll leisurely, block and counterattack!" Arthur used his own original sword moves.
After more than ten years of polishing, he has completely mastered the art of calming down.
A sword move that belongs exclusively to him.
The starting position allows Arthur to mobilize the tendons, bones and muscle strength in an instant.
Allow your body to enter a state of total concentration.
This is related to his physique and others cannot master it.
"As long as John is killed... a powerful and reckless man like Silver Axe is not worth mentioning at all..." Arthur thought to himself.
While deflecting John's attacking clone, his body began to move slowly.
He fought fiercely with John's clone in a way that consumed the least amount of physical energy.
Fighting against these clones, Arthur suddenly felt a strange feeling of ease, but he wondered if it was an illusion.
"Is John so weak? Or have I become stronger after the cleansing of my mind?" Arthur thought.
The blade kept deflecting John's clones' attacks, and blood from the wound on his back dripped onto the ground.
Soon, he discovered from the fight.
Every time John splits out an additional clone, his overall strength will be evenly divided.
Silver Axe, who was standing by, held the axe in both hands. Seeing John's move, he was looking for an opportunity to give Arthur a heavy blow.
"Damn kid!" John, whose sword was constantly bounced off by Arthur, began to roar in surprise.
I just ate the devil fruit and discovered the drawbacks of this fruit during my first actual combat.
It still needs more development before it can be used proficiently...
In fact, his weak roar was not due to his lack of proficiency in using the Devil Fruit...
Rather, his overall strength has been surpassed by Arthur today.
Arthur can only be defeated through sneak attacks, wars of attrition, and round-the-clock warfare.
This method doesn't work for Arthur, who has excellent endurance and physical strength.
"It's so easy to deal with you..." Arthur, who had not fought for nearly two years, gradually adapted to the siege of John's clones.
He found the right opportunity, bounced off one of his clones, and then cut him with all his strength.
The moment the clone was hit, Arthur's amazing brute strength chopped him away from him and he fell on the nearby ice.
"Extreme Ice·Dragon Bite!" Upon seeing this, Arthur stabbed a knife into the ice and poured the power of extreme ice into the ice to attack him quickly.
The clone that was chopped off had not yet stood up before it was swallowed by the dragon head that suddenly attacked from the ground. A large amount of cold air entered its body and froze it into a sculpture.
Bang!
At the same time, the other clones also swept towards Arthur from all directions.
"Extreme Ice·Dragon Head Shield!" Upon seeing this, Arthur instantly poured his domineering aura into the blade.
Four dragon head shields instantly extended out around the ice surface where he was standing.
He blocked the sneak attacks from John's clones and also knocked them away from his body.
"So, you came prepared? I see..." John broke out in sweat on his forehead.
Looking at Arthur who was constantly looking for trouble and dealing with everyone with ease.
Arthur pulled the ice dragon out of the ground and swung it in his hand.
It was like adapting to a partner who hadn't fought together in harmony for a long time.
They embrace each other, heart to heart, handle to palm, and become one.
"Prepared?" Arthur sneered, holding Cooper in his arms and pointing the tip of his knife at him:
"You're wrong. I have nothing. I came here alone."
