"The Great Line"

Arthur had another doubt. As the son of a fruit farmer, in young Arthur's world view, the Kingdom of Merigian was the entire world. As for the Grand Line, he had never heard of it.

Danny was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, nodded clearly, made a cross with his hands, and said:

"Our world is divided into four seas: southeast, northwest and southeast by the Great Line and the Red Continent. For example, our Kingdom of Merigian is located in the Western Sea."

"And the Grand Line is a ring-shaped ocean area that intersects the Red Continent perpendicularly."

"The Grand Line is the most magical and dangerous waterway in the world. Its geomagnetism, celestial phenomena, ocean currents, and air currents are all chaotic."

"There, it is difficult for ships to even confirm their position, let alone find islands. Past navigation skills and experience are unreliable, and only recording pointers and permanent pointers are trustworthy."

"The Red Continent is a ring-shaped continent. Upside Down Mountain, the entrance to the Grand Line, is part of it, and the Holy Land of Mary Joa is located on its summit."

"I only know that Holy Land Marie Joa seems to be the headquarters of the World Government, and I don't know the rest."

"Of course, our family's business is only in the West Sea, so we only know about it outside the West Sea." Danny shrugged and said a little regretfully.

Then he said with longing: "I really hope that I can expand my business beyond the West China Sea in the future."

Young people always yearn for excitement and distant places.

Arthur nodded, I see, this is the general geography of this world, it is really interesting.

"What about our situation in the West Sea?" Arthur continued to ask.

"Our West Sea was originally divided into three major forces: the kingdom, the navy and the five major mafias." Danny continued to introduce.

"Since three years ago, pirates have begun to proliferate, and the power of the mafia has also begun to skyrocket."

"Of course, the five major mafias are only the five more powerful gangs among the gangs. There are many other gangs, large and small, gambling houses, prostitutes, slaves, arms, etc. They are present in various profit-making industries."

"Up to now, gangsters have dared to appear in public and make wanton noises, and the kingdom's security manpower is insufficient to suppress them."

"And our Gejiazhi City is the headquarters of one of the five major mafias, the Ammos family."

"The Anmosis family is the only gang in the Sigh District and Al Ain District. They are present in gambling houses, prostitutes and slave streets in the two districts."

"The remaining civilian areas and slums are divided up by other gangs, large and small."

"The most chaotic among them is the slums. You should be careful when you go to the slums in the future. They are full of lawless criminals."

"It can be said that pirates are the nightmare of the people outside the city, and the nightmare of the people in the city is the gangsters."

"This is a chaotic world where the evil ones revel and the good ones perish." Danny finally concluded with a heavy heart.

Not long after he came into contact with the family business, Danny still had a childlike mentality. He had not yet been invaded by interests and cold-bloodedness. He also had conscience and justice in his heart, so he was naturally resistant to the troubled times.

With a slight sigh, Danny turned his head and saw the red hair coming out of the hole behind Arthur.

"Hey, Hongmao, why is your face so white?"

They are all friends who have experienced desperate situations together. Danny has consciously begun to respect the red hair and no longer casually calls him stupid or stupid.

"It's okay." Hongmao held a long sword and looked at Arthur with admiration, but hesitated to speak.

"There's something wrong with you." Danny stepped forward and shook his palm in front of the red-haired man.

"I" Hongmao secretly glanced at Arthur's back looking at the sky, and said softly: "I'm telling you, Arthur was chirping just now."

"How is that possible? Arthur just touched a sword for the first time last night. Are you kidding me?"

Danny sneered, but didn't believe it, and then turned straight into the cave, ignoring the red hair.

Arthur looked at the cloudless blue sky with wandering eyes.

For ordinary people, this world can be said to be full of dangers and difficult to move forward. Fortunately, I finally have some leverage.

Although the origin of that dream is unknown and makes people wary, it is also the only one he can rely on now.

Arthur clenched the sword in his hand, and his expression gradually became firm.

Not long after, Bowness, who went to find the river, returned.

The three of them packed their luggage and headed to the creek under the leadership of Bowness.

"Bonis, are you going to use two swords?" Arthur looked at the two long knives carried behind Bonis, took a few steps forward, walked to his side, and asked with a smile.

"Yes." Bowness pursed his thick lips and replied with a serious face: "I am strong enough, I can hold a handful in each hand."

"It's not just a matter of holding one each. The two swords will test the flexibility of your hands." Arthur pointed out the key.

"If you want to use two swords, you need to train for a long time."

After all, people's energy is limited, and both hands have priorities. When fighting, most of the person's energy will be placed on the side of the hand, while the use of the other hand will be very limited.

Of course, if you can practice left-right fighting like Zhou Botong, then it will be fine. If Bonis really decides to practice double swords, he will need to persist in practicing day after day, year after year.

"I will try my best." Bowness showed an ugly smile towards Arthur, his eyes firm.

Arthur nodded and stopped talking. Many things cannot be accomplished without hard work. Without a cultivation method, you will only get twice the result with half the effort.

"Well" Hong Mao held the long sword and carefully came over from the side. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked: "Arthur, can you teach me swordsmanship?"

Oh

Arthur raised his brows slightly, turned to look at Hong Mao, and looked at the burning in his equally red eyes. After pondering for a moment, he smiled and put his arm around his shoulders.

"Of course, but in this case, you have to recognize me as the boss."

Since it is certain that the Judgment Sword Skill obtained in the dream is indeed useful, then what he saw in the dream should also be true. Recruiting devout believers Hong Mao was also one of his original plans.

Although he still doesn't know the use of the priesthood and the power of faith, Arthur has decided to try this aspect.

Priesthood and faith are what is needed to become a god in some novels and movies. Maybe my strange dream is related to the legendary god.

But are there gods in this world?

"Okay." The red hair was pleasantly surprised, and he was even happier than when he saw the treasure.

Then Hongmao stood still with a solemn face, bowed deeply towards Arthur, and shouted sonorously: "Boss Arthur"

When I was begging with Old Brown in the city, I often saw gangsters calling their bosses this way, which was very cool and imposing.

Now, I also have a boss

The red-haired man raised his head and followed Arthur.

After the old beggar who raised Hongmao and begged with him passed away, Hongmao, who was still young, wandered around the city helplessly, envious of the gangsters who drank heavily and killed people.

He often secretly observes and wants to join them. Unfortunately, Hongmao, who has been begging all year round and is often hungry, is too thin and too timid and cowardly to be accepted by the gang, so he has to continue begging with his dream in mind.

until that day

I met the perfect sap.
