Vol. 03 Ch. 04 – Clash

Previously …

Rayleigh: "I will wait for news of your journey and those times to come."

Shaky: "Hm, I'm a big fan of Arthy-Chan now." Shaky smiled sweetly at Arthur.

Hancock + Robin: "Don't even try." They both ran ahead Arthur blocking Shaky teasing Arthur.

Shaky: "Fufufu, you two are very funny."

…

Robin: "Moby Dick was last seen on the Aman island of New World."

Shaky: "Moby Dick landed at Foodvalten yesterday."

Rayleigh: "Do you want to see Whitebeard? What did you meet him for? "

Arthur: "I want to challenge Whitebeard before he loses to the time, now he should be nearing 60 years old. Or do you want to be my opponent to test my abilities now, Rayleigh?"

Rayleigh: "I'm now just the coating mechanic old man Ray." Rayleigh just shook his head.

…

Hancock: "At first I thought that the Maubeugemour sea was far-fetched, but I wrong. Arthur, please handle anything that will come down. "

Arthur took out his Tonfa Sword and slashed splitting anything that fell. When Athena fell into a hole that suddenly appeared in the middle of the sea, Hancock immediately pressed the button to roll up the sail and pressed the next button to activate the Reject Dial that made Athena pushed into the air and flying for some time. Arthur checking his magic compass and indeed it's pointing the same direction with the Foodvalten's eternal pose.

Marco: "Don't be lazy, immediately bring the supply boxes to the ship so we can get back to sea."

Crew: "Yes, captain Marco."

Marco: "Damn, because we met with Beast pirates, we have to fix the ship for a week here."

Crew: "Captain Marco, there is a strange unknown ship sailing approaching here, the estimated time arrived is up to 30 minutes." Report one of the crew to Marco.

Marco: "Huh? Strange unknown ship? What is the jolly roger flag? Big Mom? Beast? Don't tell me that a new rookie who doesn't know anything. "

Crew: "I think it is later. The skull symbol is not known by the word ART under it. "

Marco: "Because of that damn Roger, there are so many rookies now that they don't know anything coming to New World. There will be no end if this continues, it's troublesome. " Marco only scratched the back of his head.

* glup glup glup glup *

Whitebeard: "Marco, this one is different." Whitebeard sits idly with a large sake bottle in his hand and stares sharply towards the sea.

Marco: "Father ... Don't drink too much sake in the morning!"

Whitebeard: "Gurarara ... there is no better drink to wake me up than this." Marco could only sigh and shake his head.

The ship approaching the island of Foodvalten is none other than Athena. Arthur and the others had sailed for 6 days in New World and finally arrived at their destination. Hancock and Robin during the trip always tried to change Arthur's mind to not fight with Whitebeard, but Arthur's intentions did not change. If he cannot defend against Whitebeard then his dreams and his crews will be increasingly difficult to achieve, they want to fight the world so Arthur must be able to fight the strongest man in the world. Even though he knew that his chances of winning were small, but that did not stop his intention to see how high is the top of the world. Arthur stood on the deck of the ship with his white vest which now had his group's logo on the left chest fluttering in the sea breeze, he glared at the approaching Moby Dick.

Hancock: "We will arrive in 15 minutes, this is the last chance to turn around." Hancock, who was on the steering wheel, was still trying to change Arthur's mind one last time.

Robin: "You know that we can't change Arthur's thoughts for the past week, so just enjoy this trip and see how Arthur fought the man who was called the strongest man in the world." Robin, who was sitting around casually reading her book, stopped Hancock's effort and hearing their conversation made Arthur smile.

Arthur: "Robin and Baby-5 should stay on board, and if you, Hancock, want to come on the Moby Dick, you can only stand on the edge of their deck because I'm not sure you can survive to receive his Haoshoku Haki."

Baby-5: "But young master Arthur ..."

Arthur: "I know that this is too fast for us, but I have to keep trying to find out my current limit."

Athena was getting closer to Moby Dick and finally right next to each other. Look closely indeed Moby Dick has a very large size compared to Athena. Hancock created a bridge of clouds with the ability of his devil fruit and Arthur stepped up the bridge with Hancock behind him. Whitebeard still sits idly with his sake bottle and the division captains stand around the deck rail waiting for their uninvited guests. Arthur and Hancock arrived on the Moby Dick deck so they got the attention of all of Whitebeard's pirate crew.

Arthur: "Excuse me, I want to challenge Whitebeard." Arthur spoke casually surprised everyone there.

All: "Huh?" Even Hancock was surprised because Arthur, the guest was not invited to board their ship and casually said that he wanted to challenge Whitebeard.

Marco: "Oi, Oi, Oi, damn brats who don't know anything, suddenly come here and say you want to challenge father, who do you think you are?"

Marco, who was upset because the rookie who did not know himself, spoke casually in front of all of them, if not for Whitebeard who let Arthur's ship approach, they would sink Athena from the first sight. Whitebeard who drinks his sake lowers his bottle and releases out his Haoshoku Haki to test Arthur and he gives the same reply as releases out his Haoshoku Haki. This clash makes everyone around feel pressure from Arthur and Whitebeard. Hancock felt pressured because of Whitebeard's Haoshoku Haki even though she far away and had defends it with her own Haoshoku Haki. Meanwhile, Marco and the other Whitebeard pirate crews were surprised to see Arthur who was able to stand and even counterattacked their father's Haoshoku Haki and made the weak crew freeze motionless. Arthur stepped slowly because he had to focus his mind on defending from Whitebeard's Haoshoku. He ended up not far in front of Whitebeard and took out a 2-meter high bottle of Whiskey from his ring and threw it at Whitebeard. Whitebeard catches with his left hand and opens the Whiskey bottle so that he can smell the aroma of alcohol from inside the bottle. Seeing the unusual shape of the bottle and the aroma that he had never smelled made him decide to try the taste.

Marco: "Father!" Marco was worried because he did not know what his father was drinking.

* Glup Glup Glup Glup *

Whitebeard: "Huft ... not bad, little boy." Whitebeard pulled back his Haoshoku as well as Arthur and made all the frozen ones go limp.

Arthur: "I'm happy if you like my homemade Whiskey."

Whitebeard: "So this is the name Whiskey and you say that you made it yourself?" Whitebeard stares sharply at Arthur.

Arthur: "Yes, the old man Ray also likes this Whiskey."

Whitebeard: "Gurarara ... so you are the little boy told by Rayleigh." They were surprised to hear the name "Dark King" Rayleigh in Arthur and Whitebeard's conversation.

Arthur: "Sorry. I have not yet introduced myself, my name is Phantasm D Arthur, and my purpose is to come here as I said, I want to challenge you. " Arthur took out another 11 large 2-meter bottles to give to Whitebeard.

Whitebeard: "Gurarara ... I didn't expect Alpha and his son to say the same thing when they first met me."

Arthur: "If you meet with my father, send a message that my mother will beat him up when they meet again."

Whitebeard: "I'm glad that Maria hasn't changed, but it's still too fast for you if you want to challenge me."

Arthur: "Even so I will still want to fight you." Arthur took out his tonfa sword and took a position ready to attack.

Marco: "Oi, damn brat, Father told you that you still don't deserve to fight him before you win from all of us." The division captains stepped forward to block Arthur in front of Whitebeard.

Arthur: "Sigh ... Hancock, please call Robin and Baby-5. Say they have to fight here. "

Hancock: "All right."

Although Hancock did not want to have war with Whitebeard pirates, she also wanted to know where her power level was. Robin and Baby-5 walked up the deck of the Moby Dick and then walked behind Arthur with Hancock following. The four of them stood tall before 16 captains of the Whitebeard pirate division. Of course, they were small in front of the captains of the division, especially Baby-5 who was 11 years old making the division captains ask the reason these little children stood before them.
