Chapter 416 Painful Memories
As Shiryu approaches, Arthur's domineering power covering the entire island is interrupted.
He looked at Xilu who was rushing towards him with a cold gaze, and concentrated all his strength to chop him with a knife.
When he got closer, Arthur raised the frost claw on his right hand, wrapped the domineering color around the claw and swung it towards Shiryu.
The claw tip pierced through the Thunderstorm Blade wrapped in Armament Haki and went straight into Shiryu's chest, blasting the blood and bones in his chest with one punch.
Xilu was stunned on the spot, his body stuck in Arthur's right forearm, unable to move, and warm blood flowed out of his mouth.
He looked at Arthur with surprise. At this moment, even the smile disappeared from his face, and there was only fear in his eyes.
All that could come out of his throat was a painful scream of “Ugh Ugh Ugh”.
"You want to talk to me about how boring life is? Xiliu, you are really cute."
Arthur twisted his wrist, grabbed his rib cage, and threw him down like trash.
At the same time, the black group cadres who were close to Arthur were rushed into the sea by the huge ice dragon that suddenly solidified around Arthur and opened its huge mouth.
The moment the meteorite reached Arthur's head, under Blackbeard's shocked gaze, it seemed to escape into the void and was instantly moved to another place by the door of the soul cage.
With a bang, a deafening meteorite impact exploded above the giant skull on Honeycomb Island.
Pizarro let out a miserable howl and was hit by the meteorite and fainted on the spot.
The power of a meteorite caused the entire Beehive Island to shake violently, and the sea outside the island was stirred up by huge waves that rushed towards the coast and swept away everything.
In just a blink of an eye, the Honeycomb Island, which was full of laughter and joy just now, has been mostly destroyed and is in ruins.
Robin endured the pain in his bones and crossed his hands in front of him, but the battle was over before he could make a move.
Even Blackbeard at the dock was caught in the waves and was struggling to death.
He worked hard for two years to create the so-called "Devil Fruit Army", but he didn't even get a chance to mobilize it in front of Arthur.
Arthur stared down and saw the dozen or so ice dragons he summoned, each a hundred meters long, surging and rolling in the sea like flooded dragons.
As it rolled, it froze the turbulent sea, as if it was building a tomb.
"Yeah... cough..." When Robin wanted to apologize for not being able to help, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"I'm sorry, Arthur, I seem to be seriously injured..."
Hearing this, the crazy smile on Arthur's face disappeared, and he looked at Robin beside him very seriously.
As soon as I turned around, I saw the wings of the Hana-Hana Fruit on Robin's back scatter into countless petals.
She also lost the ability to stay in the air and fell powerlessly toward the town under the huge skull of the Honeycomb Island below.
With broken bones and internal organs crushed by the brute force of Arthur's embrace, the damage Robin suffered was much worse than Arthur had imagined.
Robin is not like him. He does not have that kind of extraordinary physique and perseverance. Naturally, he cannot hold on for long after suffering such an injury.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have probably died suddenly with blood gushing out of all his orifices.
Watching Robin falling to the ground below bit by bit, two different consciousnesses were struggling repeatedly in Arthur's heart.
The tinnitus in my brain is getting louder, the sound of reality is getting quieter, and the vague sounds of my memories are becoming clearer.
Given her current physical condition, she would definitely die instantly if she fell headfirst to the ground from a height of 100 meters.
Arthur didn't know how much strength he used when hugging her. It was only then that his memory was vaguely awakened.
"Cooper..." (Generally, people with mental illness will have hallucinations of memories. Arthur, you don't have that...)
In Arthur's mind, Cooper's words from a memory kept echoing in his head, repeating over and over again.
Arthur covered his head and felt extremely uncomfortable in an instant.
"In the future, there will be no one around you, only blood and loneliness..."
The figure of Kozuki Toki appeared in Arthur's pupils. Hearing this, Arthur looked down at Robin who was about to fall headfirst to the ground.
"Ah!" He roared like crazy and instantly stretched out his hand and rushed towards Robin below.
"Kill you all...one country after another!!!"
"They haven't treated us well, so why should they beg for our mercy?!"
"Getting married...? What a luxury..."
"Why force yourself to be so miserable? You could have lived a wonderful life."
The hem of the clothes, held by her fingertips, brushed across her cheek and around her neck.
At the critical moment, Arthur hugged Robin tightly in his arms and gently placed him on the ground of Honeycomb Island Square.
"When we were in desperate situation, no one came to save us!!!"
Arthur then smashed his forehead against the ground, recalling those miserable experiences as if he was recalling the pain.
"Bullets! Hidden weapons! Cannons! Ah——!" Arthur drew his sword and started to move.
A circular cutting wave instantly split the entire Honeycomb Island. All the buildings were cut in half, exploded into the air, and fell from the sky like meteorites.
It was as if the two thoughts of reason and madness were at war in his mind, stirring up countless memories that tortured him madly.
Ding-ling-ling, the crisp sound of blade fragments falling to the ground woke Arthur up.
He took Roger's sword and held it in front of him and looked at it.
Only the hilt remains.
At this moment he realized that he was like a time bomb.
The situation just now was completely out of control.
"Huh!" Arthur came back to his senses and turned his head to look at Robin who had fainted.
"You can't die yet...! I still have to punish you!"
I do not know how long it has been.
The swaying oil lamp flickered in the darkness, the bone pain in my chest became more and more obvious, and my body twitched and trembled in pain again and again.
In a dark room, Arthur repositioned Robin's broken ribs one by one, and then bandaged them to secure them in place.
Next to the bed, all of Robin's clothes were neatly piled up.
After the treatment was over, Arthur stood in the darkness, staring at Robin, who was wrapped in bandages on the bed, and whispered,
"In a way, you are a lucky woman. Very lucky."
After saying that, Arthur extinguished the oil lamp in his hand and sat quietly beside the bed, waiting beside him.
New World, Elbaf——
The Cross Guild's ship arrived at this sea area, and everyone stood on the deck and looked out at the Elbaf World Tree that towered into the clouds and stretched as far as the eye could see.
"It's so big! President!"
“Of course!” Buggy glanced at his country bumpkin subordinates who had never seen the world on the ship and said, “This is Elbaf, the homeland of the giants, with a land area of tens of millions of square kilometers!”
"Ten million?!"
"Tens of millions of square kilometers?"
The cadres and employees of the Cross Guild were shocked at first, and then collectively asked curiously, "How big is it? The outline of the island seems to be endless!"
Bucky held his chin and counted carefully in embarrassment, thinking, "Damn, even I don't know how big tens of millions of square kilometers are... How should I answer them?"
After thinking for a moment, Buggy suddenly had an idea and turned to face the people on the deck, "It's probably... tens of thousands times that of Bali!"
"Then doesn't it mean that... all races in the world can live here?!" another subordinate exclaimed.
“Yeah!” Bucky nodded proudly, “That’s about it! Boys, this will be our new paradise… huh? Huh?”
Just as Buggy was announcing the new territory, a huge thunder shock wave surrounded by lightning came towards the ship he was on.
“Ahhh!” When Buggy saw the impact approaching him, he let out a deafening scream.
The impact instantly shattered the Cross Guild's ship, and everyone on board was caught in the thunder shock wave.
Everyone raised their heads and vomited blood. Shuang Yan rolled his eyes, stood with his feet up in the air, and was defeated in an instant.
"What are you doing, Loki!?" A scolding voice came from the island.
"Destroy the enemy, Mr. Shan!"
"What the hell! The people on that ship are people we know!!!"
"Hahaha, sorry, let's just hope they're not dead."
