Chapter 356 Countdown to Execution
"Ah~ But I'm not ready yet... Lord Arthur... That was just something my father promised you, without my consent."
Shirahoshi covered her cheeks shyly, not understanding at all how terrifying the power Arthur had just displayed was.
I was just feeling shy and immersed in the feeling of regaining my freedom.
"Don't you want to?" Arthur asked again tentatively with a wicked smile.
"No... Shirahoshi just feels that she is not worthy of Lord Arthur..."
Just then, Hancock grabbed Arthur's ear and walked back.
"Hey! Let's go!" Hancock was a little unhappy.
Arthur put on an indifferent and happy expression and waved to Shirahoshi:
"Next time I come, I will let the entire fish-man tribe live on land, but Shirahoshi, you have to help me then!"
"Are you leaving now?" When Neptune saw Arthur saying goodbye, he immediately swam quickly to his side.
Arthur looked at Neptune beside him: "What's wrong? Neptune, is there anything else?"
"Sir, it won't be too late to at least let Ryugu City hold a banquet for you before you leave!"
Neptune seriously invited Arthur to be his guest.
"No, I...no...we don't like crowds, Neptune, just remember that you owe me a favor."
Arthur declined and allowed Hancock to drag him back to where the Cooper was docked.
"Okay..." Neptune felt very guilty, so he said:
"Please don't forget, if you need help at any time, Fishman Island will do everything we can!
And my promise will not change! Shirahoshi's promise to marry you is also sincere!"
Hancock was furious when he heard this. He looked at Neptune fiercely and yelled:
"Be careful or I will petrify you all! You stinky fish man, do you want your daughter to snatch the man I love so much?!"
"Uh... no... not... Pirate Queen, I just..."
"Shut up! Get out of here!"
Facing Hancock's scolding, Neptune saw that Arthur didn't say anything, so he didn't say anything more.
Arthur kept smiling, a helpless smile, and did not make any rebuttal.
The fact is, he really enjoys being dominated by his wife.
Also, once Hancock gets angry enough, she becomes a different person.
Sweet-sweet fruit is a twin fruit, it is both sweet and bitter.
It can also be understood that she is currently showing her good side, and her stronger and more extreme side has not yet emerged.
Seeing Arthur was about to leave, Bai Xing chased after him:
"Lord Arthur! When will you come next time? Can you not leave?
"Can you stay for a few days? Shirahoshi can't bear to leave you. We have to separate after just meeting. Wuwuwu!"
"As long as you are alive and well, I will always come back, Shirahoshi, don't cry."
"I'll go... I'll go back to the Dragon Palace and prepare some dumplings for you to take with you on your journey!"
Realizing that he couldn't keep Arthur, Shirahoshi swam towards Ryugu Castle at full speed.
She knew Arthur's favorite food and this was the only way to say goodbye to him.
"Neptune, the moment Banta Deiken was frozen by me, the threat to Shirahoshi was also eliminated.
From now on, it’s up to you.”
"They have already committed suicide by taking the deadly drug. Your Excellency, there is no need to do anything else. Their bodies will naturally dry up."
Arthur controlled the soul chains and forcibly pulled Noah straight from the bottom of the deep sea.
Standing next to the Fishman Island residential area, he said:
"Neptune, I will come again. If you have the ability to repair the ship, it is best to do so. It may be useful to you."
"I will keep it in mind, sir!" Neptune promised Arthur.
About half an hour later, next to the valve of the deep-sea port of Ryugu City.
Shirahoshi prepared a large bag of dumplings for Arthur, while he was looking at the deck of the Cooper:
"Lord Arthur, you said you would bring Cooper to see me. Is this the ship?"
"No, Cooper...it's returned to nature and can't come. Sorry."
"Return to self... um... um!" Shirahoshi wanted to ask something else, but Neptune covered her mouth and took her away forcibly.
He knew that Cooper was Arthur's most important pet, and that it had died in the Battle of Marineford two years ago.
It would be better not to let my daughter mention Arthur's sad story.
"Goodbye, Shirahoshi. Don't forget what I told you ten years ago. Practice that special ability more!"
Arthur didn't take it seriously so she waved goodbye.
The power of Aquaman is too important if you want to move and merge islands.
The power of the sea kings is indispensable.
And Shirahoshi possesses that power.
……
……
New World, Aurora Islands, the town square in the central area of the islands.
Large numbers of naval soldiers were deployed in groups on the streets.
The news of Monkey D. Dragon's public execution attracted the attention of many people around the world.
Recently, the number of pirates on the nearby island has doubled, and they all come to watch the execution and join in the fun.
The new generation of naval forces has also increased, with the main purpose of maintaining public order.
Roronoa Zoro, the first to arrive on the island, happened to be on his way to the gathering point.
A place called the Skydome Bar.
He frowned as he looked at the large number of navy troops deployed on the streets and the execution platform being repaired by workers.
"Luffy's father, will he be publicly executed here?" Zoro stared at the execution platform, then glanced at a man at the entrance of the alley and said:
"Hey, Hawkeye, Master! Thank you for bringing me here."
"Nothing, just a favor." Hawkeye avoided the gazes of many people and leaned against the wall of the alley and responded:
“The Revolutionary Army was completely defeated. The man who dared to start a war at the World Conference was executed here. This was beyond our expectations.
I'm afraid your voyage this time will be difficult, Roronoa."
"Ah, I know."
"Anyway, take care of yourself, Roronoa."
The two were talking across the crowd, when Zoro looked towards the entrance of the alley again.
Hawkeye had disappeared there, leaving only the bustle of the town square.
He also brought his three swords, Wado Ichimonji, Yukizo, and Sandai Kitetsu and approached a nearby shop called:
The Skydome Bar is where we are, ready to kill some time.
On the sea of the New World, Drago is escorted to the Aurora Islands by Chaton Kaji himself.
On the lower deck of the huge escort warship, Kaji stood outside the cell where Dragon was imprisoned.
He stared sternly at Dorag, whose will was still broken, whose body was severely injured, and who had not yet fully recovered.
"How foolish of you?" Kaji said to him:
"Even if you win the war in that situation, what would it matter?
Do you think you can establish a rule that will keep the hundreds of sea nations from starving?
Monkey D. Dragon! It's not just the Celestial Dragons that are corrupt!
There is also a civilized society that has been oppressed for hundreds of years!
They don't have your blood, understand?"
Every word that Kaji said was heard by Dragon.
Even though he had lost his fighting spirit, the moment he heard these words, he couldn't help but look up at Chaton Kake:
"Isn't this the reason for my failure? If the countries hadn't sent troops to support the government, how could I have..."
There was no fighting spirit in his voice, it was extremely hoarse, and he was extremely disappointed with this world.
I thought that the Celestial Dragons only had one last straw left, and that the countries of the world would take advantage of his war to come to their senses.
It triggered a tragic resonance among those countries that had been oppressed for hundreds of years, and together they rebelled against the Celestial Dragons.
But he was stabbed in the back by those countries, and his beliefs and ideals were endlessly shattered by reality.
I can never cheer up again.
"Dragu, accept your fate. There is no need to say more. You have done nothing right in your life.
Even the opportunity to truly change the world was not seized.”
Boom——!
Suddenly, cannon fire rang out on the deck, and Kake quickly left the lower deck.
When he reached the upper deck, he saw a pirate ship with a flag of three skulls and crossbones firing at his fleet.
"Admiral Kake! It's the Blackbeard Pirates!" a colonel reported to him.
"Did those guys come here to hunt after seeing Dragon's abilities?!"
Kaji put his hands in his pockets, veins popped on his forehead, and stared at the sea ahead:
"How can we let him succeed? Immediately get all the ships' major generals into combat mode!"
"Yes! General!"
"I want to seize this ability!" Kake punched the pirate ship in front of the sea.
The fist wind turned into an earth dragon, crossing the sea and rushing straight to where Blackbeard was.
"Dream on, Tikki!"
February 1522, 6 in the Haiyuan calendar.
New world.
A fierce naval battle broke out between the Four Emperors Blackbeard Pirates and the fleet led by Kake.
There are only two days left until the execution.
