Chapter 422 He Won't Let Me Go
Under the deep sea, the merfolk migrated in large numbers and swam onto land.
The entire New World's underground volcanoes erupted, erupting wildly beneath this giant continent of unimaginable size.
The sky of the new world is not actually blue, but a doomsday scene with volcanic ash and magma scattered everywhere.
The three End Points of the New World were destroyed. Fortunately, because the world was connected by a continent, the New World was not destroyed.
Endless magma is turning into filling and merging into the foundation of a continent, making this continent more stable.
Therefore, many New World countries were engulfed by magma and destroyed.
The continent covers almost half of the planet, so the four seas are also affected.
Except for the strong, the casualties among ordinary people around the world were extremely serious.
……
"It's the end of the world!"
"Escape from this island... No! Escape from this area. In the southeast, the Four Emperors, the Navy, all the legends and adults are fighting there!"
"A fight breaks out between guys of that level? Doesn't that mean the world is really going to be destroyed?"
In the tavern, some people began to discuss where the aftermath of the battle had spread.
"That Pirate King's vice-captain, Pluto! Silvers Rayleigh! And...Scrubber Jabba! They're all there!"
"Who knows what the world will become? The sea is gone! All I can see is the continent!"
"Not only that, there is also the devil who massacred people everywhere on the sea twenty-two years ago, Douglas Barrett! The Red Earl!"
"A few days ago, terrible news came from there, saying that some terrible thing from outer space had brought down divine punishment on that island, but was blocked by something!"
On the island, people's gossip became more and more outrageous, no matter what was happening in the world.
People will always use their imagination to speculate.
This is the island closest to the G.12 ruins.
While the guests in the pub were discussing, a handsome old man with a head full of white hair, who had been drunk for several days, appeared at the bar and got drunk in the pub.
"Is it finally starting?" When the man heard these two names, he immediately raised his head from the bar.
"I've already told Roger that if he abandons everything and lives, no one in this world can do anything to him. He's in too deep. He doesn't look like a pirate, but more like a guy who fell into the abyss and created the abyss for himself."
"Ok?"
"what?!"
"Who are you? Why are you so arrogant? It's as if you know them very well."
Hearing those words, all the guests were shocked.
I saw the old man sitting up, his chest was covered with tendons and scars, and there was a knife stuck in his waist.
Even though he is a bit older, he still looks like an old handsome man, naturally handsome.
"Me?" The man picked up the wine he bought at the bar. "My name is Spencer! I'm just an exiled wanderer, but now I don't have to run away anymore."
"Exile? You don't look dead! That's ridiculous!"
Spencer finished his drink, stretched out his hand and stretched his waist.
"I have been living in seclusion for my whole life, and now I can finally realize my value."
"Wait!" Someone was shocked when he heard his name, and sweat dripped down his face.
"Spencer... this guy is... a member of Roger's pirate group!"
"You must be kidding. Basically all the members of Roger's pirate group were killed. How could there be any others?"
Spencer didn't take it seriously and took out a gold coin and put it on the front desk.
"With the demise of the World Government, the currency will soon become worthless, but gold will never depreciate, so just accept this."
"Oh..." The boss was startled and took the gold coin in a daze.
"Goodbye, my drinking buddies! And the girls with the nice butts, I'll come again next time! Hahahaha!"
After Spencer paid the bill, he walked out of the pub with a laugh.
As soon as he left the gate, he saw the world was covered in scarlet. He immediately changed his casual expression and became a little serious.
"You are not unwilling to let others go, Arthur. You just don't want to let yourself go. Your experience deserves sympathy, but what you did is no longer human. I still believe in divine punishment. After all, we have done a lot of bad things and were eventually punished by the righteous guys."
Scenes of many of his companions being captured and publicly executed emerged in Spencer's mind, and he felt very nostalgic.
That's where the bad guys end up.
He stood at the door and waited for a while before he saw a man riding a horse-drawn carriage with his hairstyle making a "3" arrive.
"Mr. Spencer, the battle has begun! Captain Bucky asked me to pick you up!
"A carriage?" Spencer jumped into the carriage without even thinking about it, and said with emotion,
"I've been on boats all my life, but I've rarely been on something like this."
Gardino drove the carriage quickly towards the battle site, occasionally glancing back at the unrestrained white-haired old man behind him.
He didn't expect Bucky's identity to be so terrible.
But as a member of Roger's pirate group, why does he give people a particularly weak feeling?
In order to verify his curiosity, Gardino asked Spencer, who was drunk behind him,
"Um, Mr. Spencer, you know about the Cross Guild, right?"
"Of course! The organization under the command of the Ice Blade." Spencer didn't care and replied casually.
Gardino asked again, "Then can I ask, our president Buggy, how could he be on the ship of Roger's pirate group when he was so weak? Logically speaking, aren't all the pirates first-class monsters?"
Spencer, who was about to drink, was stunned when he heard this.
“Bucky? Weak? Hmm… it seems that what you said is right, but also not right…Bucky has been growing up on our ship since he was a baby, so there is no such thing as strong-weak exclusion or anything like that.
Oh... I forgot to tell you that luck is also a part of strength! That guy, ever since he grew up, has been the lucky star of our Roger Pirates, always able to bring good luck to everyone! Although he is a little stubborn..."
As Spencer was talking, his expression suddenly froze and he instantly thought of something.
He threw his favorite drink out of the carriage and analyzed it carefully.
Gardino looked seriously at Spencer, whose expression suddenly changed, and swallowed. He felt easygoing when interacting with these real hidden masters, but there was a huge difference in something, as if it was the gap in strength.
"Wait, Arthur's purpose in contacting Bucky... could it be that!"
"Arthur?!" Every time Gardino heard this name, he shuddered and shouted, "Ice Sword Master?"
"Well... Arthur has been fighting all his life. It's not the kind of fighting that is exaggerated, but he really fights every day. His luck and life can be said to be short-lived and beautiful. He is miserable. The purpose of contacting Buggy is to hope that Buggy will bring him good luck?"
Spencer was very unsure, but Bucky had been extremely lucky in his life.
All the guys who came into contact with Arthur died, and Bucky has been dealing with Arthur for so many years, but he has always been safe.
Gardino showed a serious expression, as if thinking about something, and boldly commented,
"But isn't it his fault that the world has become a mess? People shouldn't deprive others of their lives and freedom for no reason because of their own suffering, right?"
"No, kid." Spencer refuted him on the spot when he heard this.
"You are too young... You are talking about people who are powerless to resist fate and those who are not sure whether they can defeat the powerful enemy in front of them. Considering their own safety and interests, they will naturally give up resistance and choose to let it go!
But Arthur had no choice. He left Roger's pirate group and did not intend to use our reputation to protect him. Instead, he chose a path that was harder than hell. "
Spencer talked eloquently and sighed.
"However, there is no doubt that he is a fool. Some decisions he made caused him to lose his most important partner and become brutal and murderous. That's why I say he was unwilling to let himself go."
These words made Gardino suddenly realize.
"That idiot!! Roger was planning to take him to Raftel... He was still normal two years ago! After the war, because of his own decision-making and overconfidence, his navy wife died, Cooper died, and even Gloriosa and Toritoma died because of him!
That’s why he fell into endless painful struggles, and eventually his brain went wrong!”
Spencer became more and more excited as he spoke, and under the influence of alcohol, he told everything he knew about Arthur, while also venting his extreme dissatisfaction with Arthur.
Until they arrived at the place where all the powerful people in the world were watching, the carriage driven by Gardino was forced to stop several kilometers away.
"3! You bastard, how can you be so fast!" Bucky, who had just stopped the carriage, ran over and approached the carriage to Galdino in shock.
"It's still fast...several times faster than the boat...! Where's Spencer?"
"Inside." As soon as Gardino pointed inside the carriage, Spencer walked out and jumped out.
"Yeah, it used to take at least half a day or a day to cross an island, but now it only takes a few hours."
Spencer looked at the sky, and the sky didn't change at all.
The cloud of ash pressed down like a boundless plague, filling every crack in the sky.
The light in the sky was suffocated. The once bright and dazzling sun had now turned into a pale and blurry circular spot on the lead-gray cloud curtain, as faint as a trace of residue on tinfoil.
"Mr. Spencer! Hurry up, go quickly. Mr. Rayleigh and Mr. Jabba are both trying to intimidate the powerful people in the New World who are ready to make a move for that bastard Arthur!" Bucky said to him anxiously.
"Arthur is going to die! If he dies in the naval ruins, the people present will do whatever it takes to grab the ancient weapons!"
"Okay! I get it! Stop making so much noise!" Spencer punched Bucky in front of everyone in the Cross Guild.
Bucky had a bump on his head, and he covered it with his hands, looking very innocent, and whispered,
"The machine in the center of the G.12 Navy ruins has been confirmed to be the ancient weapon king. Now Kaido, Big Mom, and Crocodile, the ambitious people, have not taken action because they are afraid of Arthur.
Once he dies, everyone will fight for the weapon, and a new fight will begin."
Spencer was a little shocked and listened carefully to Bucky's words. He didn't expect that he had such a broad view of the overall situation.
In the past, he was just a selfish little kid who was after treasure.
