Chapter 352 Lantern Master
The Cooper slowly sailed away from the port of the Golden City.
Outside the harbor, two huge seafaring turtles came into Arthur's sight.
They were wearing huge iron chains and were dragging the ten-kilometer-long giant ship.
"A city where slaves work during the day and the rich enjoy themselves at night.
However, the slaves above do not deserve any sympathy at all.
These are gamblers who come here with their unattainable dreams.
They end up being trapped here forever because they don’t understand the rules of this world.”
The sea breeze blew gently, rustling on Arthur who was sitting on the side of the boat.
Arthur threw the playing cards in his hand into the trash can and ended his journey.
"Hey, do you have any stories about nature to tell me today?"
Hancock came up behind Arthur and asked him expectantly.
Over the past two years, she has been told all kinds of unique stories that she never gets tired of.
However, sometimes there are some that make her blush and her heart beat fast.
"Hmm..." Arthur thought for a moment as he looked at the seafaring turtle that was sailing with the Gulan Tezoro.
He looked at the sky again and said to Hancock seriously:
"I secretly observed a pair of seven-colored birds with Cooper in the forest.
It was raining heavily that day, and the female bird and the male bird were angry with each other and stood on the branch to get wet in the rain.
"What happened next?" Hancock listened carefully, looking forward to every bit of beautiful memories in Arthur's mind.
"Later, the male bird coaxed the female bird for a long time before it finally calmed down and forced itself into the small nest in the tree trunk to avoid the rain.
What I want to say is that even in nature, males will always give in to females. This is an eternal and unchanging law.
But this kind of law and nature becomes something very diverse in the human world.
Something completely unnatural and ugly.”
……
New world, above the endless sea.
A pirate sailing ship with a flaming lion head and a sunflower outline on its bow is sailing on the sea.
The ship is called the Flaming Sunflower and is built from the wood of the World Tree Adam.
Advanced weapon systems, navigation systems, living structures, a nearly perfect ship.
A gift given to Luffy during Dragon's reign.
It was built according to the characteristics of Luffy, Ace, and Sabo.
"We will meet at the agreed place soon!"
Luffy sat on the bow of the Flame Lion, looking forward to meeting his companions who had disappeared two years ago.
Click. On the deck, Sanji, wearing a black suit, lit up the cigarette in his mouth:
“I didn’t expect that the guy who separated us was actually one of the three founders of the Revolutionary Army.
We didn't have much reputation before, Luffy, the reason why the Navy takes us so seriously is because you are the son of the leader of the Revolutionary Army, the grandson of the legendary Marine. "
Two of the three founders of the revolutionary army have died in battle.
Ivankov was killed during the war with the World Government.
Bartholomew the Bear was killed by Arthur during the Battle of Marineford.
And Dorag, his faith now shattered, lay unconscious on the sixth floor of Impelton Prison.
The Revolutionary Army no longer exists, and even Garp, the deputy leader, was forced to flee and live in seclusion.
Luffy, Ace, Sabo, Robin, and Sanji have been training together for two years.
Now we are on the same ship heading to the New World, Aurora Islands.
On that island, there is still the story of Arthur's battle with the two current Five Elders, which has been passed down to this day.
"Darkness will devour the world, and the sun will unite the power of the world to seal the darkness together..."
Robin folded his arms and recited the prophecy he saw in Elbaf.
"Two years ago, Dorag's last words before the World Conference were, let us live in our own way."
Sabo said that he almost lost control of his emotions when he heard the news that his savior, Dragon, was defeated and imprisoned.
But now that he has calmed down and his entire organization has been defeated, what can he do alone in Marijoa?
"Teach replaced his father and became one of the Four Emperors." Ace came behind Luffy and stroked the brim of his hat with one hand:
"Luffy, if you want to become the Pirate King, you must defeat all enemies that stand in your way, including Teach. Do you understand?"
Luffy showed a confident expression as he looked forward to reuniting with his friends.
"Haha! The hard training we have put in over the past two years is no joke. Of course we can do it!"
His words made Ace smile in relief.
In the distant blue sky, seagulls fly in groups.
A seagull landed on the side of the Flame Sunflower, tapped the human language translator on its chest, and asked:
"The latest World Economic Daily, 300 Baileys, do you need it?"
Sanji stepped forward, took out his wallet from his trouser pocket and handed it to Seagull.
Then get the newspaper and share the information with everyone.
"On June 1522, 6, Haiyuan Calendar, the world's most vicious criminal, Monkey D. Dragon, will be executed in the New World, Aurora Islands! The specific location will be a public execution in the central square of the town in the Aurora Islands! The time is 4 noon sharp!"
"Dad... is going to be... executed?!" Luffy's eyes were dull, and he even felt a little helpless.
He didn't have much affection for Dorag, and he didn't even know he had a father when he was a child.
But thanks to his father's care in the past two years, he realized his father's dedication to him.
"The leader... will be publicly executed on the island where they gathered...?"
Sabo looked at the news in the newspaper and couldn't believe the facts before him.
"We must...save him, Luffy!" Ace said to Luffy.
Robin's face was full of surprise. The public execution of Dragon was no less than the execution of Roger back then.
"Some soldiers have revealed our whereabouts. The navy will definitely send a large number of soldiers to capture us, Luffy."
She quickly analyzed the problem and said to Luffy.
"I will never allow this to happen!" Luffy yelled.
I can't calm down.
There is still about a week until the execution!
after one day--
New World, Almikai Sea.
The Cooper was docked in this sea area, and Arthur was standing on the observation deck, looking at the endless ocean around him.
"According to that guy's information, it should be right here." Arthur said as he looked around.
"The record pointer seems to be broken, Arthur, it's pointing towards the bottom of the sea!"
Hancock took the record pointer and reported the sailing situation to Arthur:
"Moreover, it's spinning very fast, and the magnetic field is very strange!"
"Downward?" Arthur smiled when he heard that: "Ha...! Then it's confirmed, this sea area is the sea area we are looking for!"
As he spoke, he took off his thin shirt, stood on the side of the boat, and prepared to jump into the sea to search.
His eyes instantly became alert, and he suddenly looked towards the air around him.
At the same time, the aura of Observation Haki appeared in Hancock's eyes.
Then he looked towards where Arthur was.
A ship inlaid with various gems approaches the Cooper in a stealthy manner.
"Sweet, sweet wind!" Hancock sensed that someone was following her, and immediately clasped her hands together, forming a heart shape, aiming at the place her observation Haki sensed.
The treasure hunter pirates who were discovered no longer hid and immediately revealed their true forms.
"That ability, are you really the Pirate Queen?!"
The pink sweet wind hit Mad Torega's ship, and petrifying energy instantly covered the entire hull.
Hancock didn't give them even a second to speak. Anyone on the ship who had the slightest lust for her beauty.
Both men and women were petrified on the deck in an instant.
After a round of moves, only Mad Tregar was left standing at the bow of the Treasure Hunter Pirates.
He kept a smile on his face, but was so shocked by Hancock's ability that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He glanced at his companions on the ship again, unable to believe that no one could resist the Pirate Empress's abilities.
"Haha~" Hancock grinned and said sarcastically:
"The most vicious treasure hunter, Mard Torrega, doesn't care about anyone or anything when he goes out to sea.
You only have a special liking for treasures, and I expected you not to be petrified."
"Hahaha, it's such an honor! To be recognized by you!" Mad Torrega said, and an iron chain extended from his body and he took it in his hand and smashed it hard towards the Cooper.
He didn't care about his petrified companions at all, they were just tools to him.
If the tool is broken, there is no point in using it!
"Women are nothing more than a bunch of creatures to be played with. As long as they can vent their desires, everyone is the same!"
As soon as Torrega finished speaking, he threw out a huge chain in his hand and exploded again.
As the speed increases, it also contains a terrifying impact.
But he was still kicked away by Hancock's fragrant kick.
"You're here for pure gold, right? The treasure that can slow down everything!"
Seeing his chain being kicked away, Torrega exerted force again to drag and swing it in the air.
He also wrapped his ability with armament color and planned to directly attack the ship under Hancock's feet.
There was no chance of winning in a head-on battle, so all he had to do was to knock her, a person with special abilities, into the sea.
As for the Ice Sword Master?
In his eyes, he was just a piece of trash in the rumors and was not worth worrying about at all.
"Pure gold?!" Hancock was shocked. She had never heard of it before.
"The power to slow down everything...? Eternal life?!"
"Hahaha!" Seeing Hancock being so serious, Torejia said again:
“But it has more than just this power. No disease can invade the body in the face of its shining light.
It is bitter but it can not only make people immortal, but also make them immune to all diseases!
In this case, people who hold pure gold can also enjoy the incredible ability to grow in strength!
This is a treasure that is enough to buy the whole world, how can I give it to you!
I will use the power of pure gold to continue my treasure hunt on this sea forever!"
The iron chain, as fast as an afterimage, clashed quickly with Hancock's physical skills.
No matter how many of them he kicks away, more will continue to emerge from his body.
It looks like a battle, but Hancock is actually protecting the ship.
"So, you want to take away my ambition, right?"
Arthur, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, staring at him with sharp eyes.
Tregar was startled, stopped releasing the chains, and looked at Arthur:
"What? Was the strange feeling just now... coming from this guy?"
Bang! Just as Torregar was in a trance, Hancock jumped out of the Cooper and instantly kicked Torregar in the abdomen.
A powerful impact penetrated from behind Torrega, creating terrifying waves on the sea.
“Aaaah…!” Torregar vomited blood and knelt on the bow of his ship in disbelief, holding his petrified stomach.
The next second, Hancock kicked him in the head again.
The power of the Sweet-Sweet Fruit instantly petrified half of his head, causing him to lose his combat ability on the spot.
"A piece of trash like you doesn't deserve that kind of thing, understand?"
Hancock put her hands on her hips and spoke to him like he was trash.
The movement on the sea attracted a huge creature from the seabed to surface.
The sea suddenly became calm, and Arthur walked to the side of the ship and looked at what was happening under the deep sea.
Suddenly, the ripples spread and the waves surged.
A huge shadow emerged from the depths, breaking through the water -
It was an eye, a hundred meters in diameter, with a pupil as deep as the abyss.
It is much larger than a small island.
But Arthur did not feel the fear of the deep sea. Instead, a smile appeared on his face.
"Lantern fish sea king? It seems to be correct!"
