The Pirate's Ultimate Swordsman, One Man is the Royal Group

"Red Nose, you are such a lucky guy." Barrett did not do anything irrational in the face of Bucky's teasing: "I don't know why he favors you, but I'm definitely not kneeling to you."

Buggy frowned and thought. Logically speaking, Barrett couldn't have been injured so seriously after escaping from Impel Down.

His entire body, except his head, was covered with thick bandages.

"What's under these bandages?" Bucky stepped forward, grabbed Barrett's bandages and tore them off.

A crack from the slash that spread like lightning appeared in Buggy's eyes.

"Is this a cut?" Buggy thought, and was shocked: "Was it Arthur who cut it?"

Bucky couldn't bear to think about what was going on.

Barrett's self-esteem and madness were so high that he could actually kneel down. He couldn't help but wonder what he had experienced.

"That guy has ordered you to start building a huge ecological battleship." Barrett said to the shocked Buggy, "And you also need to find an island for me to practice for two years."

"I understand. What about Arthur? Where did that guy go?" Bucky asked Barrett about Arthur's whereabouts.

"I don't know, and I don't care!" Barrett walked straight to the island: "I just need to keep training until the day I surpass him."

As a warrior who only knows how to fight, the only thing that can suppress Barrett is strength.

Before coming here, they had a sparring session that was completely different from what they had done more than 20 years ago.

He was completely defeated by Arthur and accepted the defeat sincerely.

"Who are the guys fighting on the island, the red-nosed ones?" When Barrett landed on the island, he noticed the fierce and domineering atmosphere.

"Ah... Shiki and Redfield are currently teaching the greatest swordsman in the world, Hashirakol Mihawk a lesson. But they've been fighting for two days, so it should be over soon."

"You mean the Golden Lion and the Red Earl?!" Barrett was shocked: "That guy didn't tell me they were here too!"

"You're in prison, how could you possibly know what's going on outside?" Bucky laughed when he saw Barrett's bumpkin look. "They joined many years ago. Hahahaha, you're like a super rookie now, don't you understand?"

Ever since landing on the island, Barrett has felt an oppressive gaze, the source of which is not from Bucky, but from Arthur's eagle beside him.

That kind of hostility was deep-rooted. If Barrett hadn't joined the Ice Blade, Cooper would have already gone up to kill him.

Morning on the third day after Hawkeye arrived on the island.

In the battle forest, thousands of swords were flying in the air of Kale Bali Island. There were swords made of wood, earth, and iron, floating in the air.

It was like a rain of swords, controlled by Shi Ji's thoughts.

In the forest, Hawkeye lay exhausted on the soft soil, having completely lost his ability to fight.

"Hahaha, if I were to face you alone, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to beat you now." Shi Ji clasped his hands together, floating in the air, and countless sword blades floated behind him waiting for him to attack.

"If I were ten years younger..." Redfield panted, standing in front of Hawkeye who fell to the ground: "I wouldn't be so tired!"

Hawkeye, who has lost his combat capability, can only be at the mercy of others.

He was not as domineering as the Golden Lion, and his swordsmanship could not outperform the two old men. In the end, he was consumed alive and left to be at the mercy of others.

"Why do you want to stop?" Hawkeye suddenly asked the two people standing in front of him: "Are you going to insult me?"

The Golden Lion responded to him: "Not really. You are on the Ice Blade Guild's important recruitment list. How dare we kill you?"

Beneath his calm exterior, his heart was already shaken by Hawkeye's strength.

The opponent's swordsmanship was even more advanced than his at his peak. The only difference was the level of the three colors of domineering.

Hawkeye is not yet proficient in terms of domineering, but his swordsmanship has reached the pinnacle and can even be compared with Arthur's.

"Get out of here now that you know, kid. If you want to pursue a better and peaceful life, make the right choice quickly." Redfield said, seeing through Hawkeye's inner thoughts at the moment.

The feeling of defeat and the memories of the past made him feel sick.

He looks so cool and aloof, and has such great strength and a young body, but deep down he just wants to live a peaceful life.

In Redfield's eyes, people like Hawkeye are useless with only skills, but he can't beat him in a one-on-one situation now.

"Enjoy the final peace. Before the war comes, you can choose your own camp." After saying this, Shiqi put away his knife and left.

He didn't feel any joy from defeating a junior 2-on-1.

……

The Grand Route, in the sea dozens of kilometers away from Gaya Island.

Arthur was lying on a sunny deck chair in a stolen one-man boat, drinking a bottle of rum.

He stared at the sea, enjoying the tranquility of the sea breeze and said, "My body is more comfortable. Having two lumps of meat hanging from my chest will really affect my speed."

As he spoke, the sky over the entire surrounding sea area was suddenly shrouded in darkness and turned into night.

"Huh?" Arthur stopped drinking and looked up at the sky. Five black figures as tall as the sky suddenly appeared in front of him.

They all had a pair of small wings on their backs and held spears in their hands, stabbing decisively down into the sea.

Seeing such a terrifying huge black shadow, Arthur said calmly: "Is this the reflection of the Sky Islander?"

If he had not been accustomed to the climate of the Grand Line and knew that there was a sky island above this sea, he would have regarded the huge black shadow in front of him as a physical creature.

But it was just a mirage.

Arthur calmly withdrew his gaze, picked up the bottle of rum and was about to drink it, but suddenly stopped and looked towards the left side of the ship.

A pirate ship was heading towards the ship he was on at an incredible speed.

"There's a big monster——!"

"Paddle quickly or you'll die!"

With a bang! The front end of the Golden Merry smashed the small boat Arthur was in to pieces.

Arthur's whole body was pressed against the front of the ship, and the bottle of wine in his hand shattered into pieces and was taken away by the ship.

"Hey, it looks like we hit something, didn't we?!"

“Never mind! The most important thing is to escape first—!”

"oh--!"

All the members of the Straw Hat Pirates had livid faces and rowed desperately to speed up the boat, quickly leaving the sea that had suddenly turned dark.

Until you break out of the darkness and reach the sunny sea.

On the deck of the Golden Merry, everyone was exhausted and sweating, and they were a little scared when they thought of the huge black shadow they had just encountered.

"As expected, in a place like the Grand Line, strange things happen one after another, and today was no exception." Sanji lit a cigarette and said as his livid complexion stabilized.

"First, a huge ship fell from the sky."

"Then the record needle pointed to the sky."

"Then a strange ape came and said he wanted to salvage the ship."

"Another turtle that could eat an entire ship."

Compared to the more frightened Straw Hat Pirates, Robin was quite stable. As he listened to them comment on the strange climate of the Grand Line, he also said, "And then suddenly it was night."

This was the first time she had encountered such a thing, and as a living being she was instinctively a little afraid of giant creatures.

"Finally, a monster dozens of times bigger than the giants suddenly appeared!?" Luffy also said, and was also frightened by the huge black shadow at that time.

After everyone finished their comments, an ape on the deck who had escaped with them hugged his knees and sighed, "Even I was scared."

The air suddenly became quiet, and the Straw Hat Pirates collectively looked at him as the weirdo. Three of the strongest fighters rushed forward and kicked him off the deck and into the sea.

"Get out! You bastard!" Zoro, Sanji and Luffy shouted in unison after kicking him away.

"Hey, did we hit something just now?" At this time, Chopper, who had calmed down, suddenly said to everyone: "It seems to be a ship, right?"

"It seems to be true. A small boat was smashed to pieces by Merry just now...I think so?"

"Then check it out, don't just keep guessing!"

Plop! Suddenly, there was a sound of something falling into the water from the front of the Golden Merry.

Zoro was the first to stand up and stared at the man lying on the sea surface in front of him: "Someone fell into the sea, guys."

"It must be the person I bumped into just now?" Sanji guessed.

"Could it be that a monster is following us?" Usopp began to tremble all over, imagining the worst possible outcome, and began to pray.

Arthur was lying on the sea, staring calmly at a young man with green algae hair and curly eyebrows on the boat in front of him, who was looking at him.

"How ridiculous that something like this could happen to me." Arthur thought to himself, staring at them, no longer having the excitement he had before the time travel.

Luffy stretched out his arms and came to the bow of the Merry, and then looked down at Arthur and asked, "Hey, are you still alive?"

"Of course I'm still alive. It's so obvious." Arthur responded calmly while lying on the sea.

"Hahaha, sorry, we just encountered an incredible big monster. If you want to go somewhere, we can take you there." Luffy apologized for crashing Arthur's boat.

Arthur responded: "I'm going to Gaya Island, give me a ride if you can."

Hearing that Arthur wanted to take a boat, Luffy stretched out his arms, grabbed Arthur's black robe on the sea, and pulled him out of the sea.

Arthur was pulled aboard and sat on the deck. The first thing he did was to lift up his shirt, wring out his wet black robe with his bare upper body.

His body was covered with fatal scars, which sent chills down the spines of all the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Hey, what's with the scars on your body?!" Sanji asked first, his face full of shock.

"These?" Arthur looked at the various scars on his chest. "These are my medals. Don't mind them."

Usopp, Chopper, and Nami hugged each other and hid in the distance, suddenly not daring to approach Arthur.

"Weirdo! How can anyone regard scars as medals?"

"The Grand Line is terrifying!"

"There are fatal wounds everywhere. Are you a human or a ghost?" Chopper said.

As the ship's doctor, its words suddenly attracted everyone's attention.

Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji were also extremely shocked and stood in front of them, fearing that Arthur was a bad guy.

At this moment, Robin stared at Arthur's familiar face with a dull expression. Twenty years have passed, and he hasn't changed at all. He still appeared in front of her with the same appearance as before.

She quickly regained her composure, a smile forming on her lips. The real big monster was in front of her, not the five huge black shadows just now.

"Is it a human or a ghost?" Faced with this question, Arthur suddenly looked serious and thought, then looked at Chopper:

"It's obvious that I'm human, isn't it?"
