Chapter 345 New Era
Arthur relied on his swordsmanship and Hancock's close protection to kill all the pirates present and force them to flee in panic.
In the storm, Arthur, his body stained with blood, walked on the deck.
Hualala, hualala, the rain washed over his body, and the blood from Tianyu Yuzhan in his right hand flowed down the blade to the ground.
All the adults on the deck of the passenger ship were hacked to death by Arthur for no reason.
At this moment, he walked up to a child who was sitting on the deck and crying while holding a plush doll.
He breathed heavily, looking down at her.
The child was calling for his parents, but he didn't know that his parents had been ruthlessly killed by Arthur just now.
After Arthur finished speaking, he raised the knife in his hand, and the ice dragon's previous words repeated over and over again in his mind.
Hancock stood behind Arthur and witnessed his every move very seriously, but never went up to stop him.
When she first took office as empress, she launched many wars against foreign countries and had no compassion at all.
"It seems nothing has changed. It seems nothing has changed about me." Arthur stopped swinging the knife, put it into the sheath and turned away.
Even if he killed everyone in the world and let the times start over again, he knew that the time of corruption, bribery and distortion would eventually come back again.
As long as humans exist, these things will never be tolerated.
In the huge space of the soul cage, the ice dragon observed Arthur's every move with indifference.
The moment he put away his knife and stopped killing innocent people, a smile of relief appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Not killing her?" Hancock asked Arthur as he walked up to her.
"I don't want to get involved in this anymore. Hancock, if Gion was next to me, she would do everything she could to stop me from killing innocent people." Arthur responded to Hancock, recalling old memories.
Holding his bangs, he immersed himself in the ocean of memories and leaped towards where his ship was docked.
He knew very well that not killing the child would be more cruel.
But it's time to stop killing just for the sake of killing.
“It seems that I have always been in my own pain, forcing others to attach extreme thoughts and emotions, and never cared about the feelings of people other than Cooper.
I have been too selfish, too selfish.”
Dragging his exhausted body after the battle and feeling heavy-hearted, he returned to the sailboat.
Arthur once again fell into endless memories and regrets, as if he had always ignored the women who had secretly given everything for him.
Not until he passed away did he realize that the one-sided contributions of Gion, Stussy and others were no less than those of Cooper.
Thinking back on it, Arthur realized that he was not a legendary pirate who could cover the sky with one hand.
Instead, he is a person who never grows up, falls into painful experiences again and again, forgets his original intention, and kills innocent people indiscriminately.
"Talk to me, Ice Dragon, am I really that selfish?" Arthur called out to the Ice Dragon in his mind.
But there was no response for a long time.
In the soul cage, the ice dragon listened to Arthur's thoughts and said to him:
"The pain of losing someone important to you is what it means to truly grow up, Arthur.
At least now you realize the importance of those who unilaterally sacrifice their lives for you, right?
The reason why you feel pain about the past is because you subconsciously know that you are very guilty of them, and you even ignore their efforts except for Cooper.
They know that by helping you achieve your goals, you can give them everything they want.
To put it simply, women follow you wholeheartedly just because they want a warm home and a peaceful world to live out their lives in peace. Everything else is just superficial.
And you have nothing to offer them, and you only care about your own goals and ambitions.
Well...I can wait for you for a thousand years, and those little girls around you...
The petals will wither in two hundred years at most, Master~"
Every time the Ice Dragon spoke, Arthur felt deeply moved, and at the same time, he pointed out his character flaws.
She could also tell him many of her own problems, and would always whisper something teasing to him in between conversations.
From serious to not serious.
At this moment, Hancock hugged Arthur from behind:
"I've heard since I was a kid that the fireworks in the Flower Kingdom are pretty good. Hey, have you ever seen fireworks?"
“I haven’t seen it in a long time.”
"Then let's go together, Arthur. I heard that making a wish before setting off fireworks will allow people in the world of the dead to hear the voice of the wisher."
These words startled Arthur, who had never believed in such superstitions before.
Now he has endless words to say to the person who has given everything for him.
Arthur and Hancock set out on a journey to regain their strength.
Wandering between countries with long regrets.
……
……
The war between the revolutionary army and the government intensified.
Relying on the powerful military force gained from Arthur's crazy actions many years ago.
Faced with the navy and government whose forces are now scattered all over the world and unable to concentrate on fighting, there are also some member states that support the Celestial Dragons.
The Revolutionary Army still had a very difficult time fighting and was unable to shake the foundation of the world that the Celestial Dragons had ruled for eight hundred years.
The war lasted for two years, with Dragon leading the six major battle fronts: East, West, North, South, New World, and Paradise.
After Akainu and many vice admirals of the New World returned to the navy, the Revolutionary Army was defeated across the board.
Cyborg Sora duels with Dragon and is severely injured and retires, dying soon.
Akainu becomes the admiral of the new generation of navy.
The navy he led absorbed the huge power of the revolutionary army and returned to its peak.
And a new naval headquarters was rebuilt under the red earth continent of the New World, near the holy land of Marijoa.
Name: New Marinford!
Under the old Marinford Glacier, the weakened sailors who had not been killed on the spot before being frozen were also rescued and re-enlisted.
The only well-known soldier among them is Garp's disciple, Coby.
Kake was promoted to Admiral of the Navy by Akainu.
Code name: Chatun, the indestructible world shield!
Human-human type, mythical beast type, earth god form.
As long as the body is in contact with the earth, the damaged terrain can be restored in a moment.
With just a thought, you can use the land to create all things.
After two years of war, they have fully awakened.
Former Zefa students, Ain and Binz, returned to the navy with the information and troops left behind by Zefa.
He was named Navy Vice Admiral.
Impelton Prison was rebuilt, and after the defeat, Dorag was imprisoned on the sixth floor.
He became the first war criminal sentenced to death in the new prison.
After two years of investment from many countries around the world, naval order has been fully restored.
The combat department, intelligence department, and spy department are all directly headed by the Navy Marshal as the supreme commander.
There are no other departments under the World Government except the Navy.
The world's member states know that if there is no navy to maintain law and order in this world.
Faced with the invasion of New World pirates, they are not far from destruction.
Haiyuan calendar year 1522.
The sea ushered in a new era——!
