Vol. 04 Ch. 38 – New Bounty

On the day before Tenryuubito's arrival, Arthur said goodbye and left a letter for Ace and Luffy to Makino. After all the supplies had been obtained for the trip, Athena began moving away from the port of the village of Foosha. Ikaros also managed to save all information data from Arthur and Robin, so she could be called a walking library because of all her knowledge. Ikaros also gained cooking knowledge from Baby-5 to have the same quality as Baby-5 cuisine. Knowledge about health and navigation is also not missed by Ikaros.

Hancock: "Arthur, why didn't you create Ikaros from the start?" Hancock was satisfied that Ikaros, who was versatile, could ease her work.

Arthur: "You know the consequences after I used [Soul Art] right? Of course, I want to create Ikaros earlier, even I have also planned to create her younger siblings, but I can't for the time being. One [Soul Art] is my limit now, so it must wait. "

Robin: "But she is still too rigid even after all the references I gave."

Arthur: "I hope you don't give out information that isn't important to her anymore." Arthur sighed because he remembered the book Robin gave to Ikaros.

Monet: "So tomorrow is the day you plan to save Sabo?"

Arthur: "Yes, because I don't know how much the future will change, we will prepare from now on. Monet, what about the [Mark] that you left in the Sabo hat? "

Monet: "I can feel it clearly."

Baby-5: "Young master Arthur, your name appears in the newspaper today." Baby-5 who came on board brought the newspaper she got from News Coo.

Arthur: "Hahaha ..." Arthur who opened the newspaper on the table so everyone could read it immediately laughed after seeing the contents.

Law: "It seems like the World Government will never change." Law only shook his head after seeing the same thing happen again as the news of the incident on the island of Minion.

Bepo: "How could the captain be the one who burns Gray Terminal?"

Koala: "The captain's bounty price has risen to 880 million B." Koala holds Arthur's latest bounty poster and sticks it on the wall covering Arthur's old poster.

Arthur: "It seems like they want to raise the price of my bounty little by little to allay people's doubts if there are strong pirates who appear suddenly with very high bounty prices." Arthur explained what was on his mind.

Hancock: "It seems like that is what the World Government would do."

They do not care what the World Government is doing, they instead display their bounty posters on the wall as decoration of the room. Athena stopped at 500m from the port of the Goa kingdom where the ships belonging to Tenryuubito would be anchored, of course, they were invisible due to Baby-5's devil fruit ability. They waited and finally it was time for them to start moving.

Monet: "So he is Tenryuubito, very ugly. Do all Tenryuubito have disgusting looks like him?" Monet who saw Tenryuubito with binoculars immediately gave her opinion.

Arthur: "Monet, you know that I'm Tenryuubito too right?"

Law + Bepo + Koala: "Eh !?"

Monet: "I told you I don't believe you same species with that disgusting creature." Monet is still strong in her stance.

Arthur: "Ah, you three don't know yet. Sorry, I forgot to tell you about it. "

Law: "So because of that, the captain isn't afraid to fight Doflamingo who is also a former Tenryuubito. I was surprised to hear about him from the captain, but I was confused to see the captain who was calm when he said he wanted to fight the former Tenryuubito. So this is the reason. " Law nodded in understanding towards Arthur.

Koala: "Captain?" Koala was a little afraid when he heard that Arthur was Tenryuubito.

Hancock: "You don't need to be afraid or worried, Koala. You know that I am the same as you. " Hancock stroked Koala's hair to calm her down.

Robin: "Eh, do not tell me that the fishing boat was boarded by Sabo? He also put up his pirate flag before the ship of the World Government. " Robin was surprised to see a small boat appear at times like this.

Arthur: "There he is. Monet, get ready to move Baby-5 to Sabo's hat position. Baby-5, make yourself invisible and save Sabo immediately and fly back after make him invisible. Wait for my sign."

After Arthur warned them to get ready, they witnessed the scene where the Tenryuubito fired his cannon to Sabo's ship. Right before the second shot, Arthur immediately gave a signal to Monet and Baby-5 to move. Monet uses her devil fruit's ability to swap the position of the Sabo hat with the Baby-5 position. With Baby-5 invisible, she saves Sabo who then flies back towards Athena. After lowering Sabo on Athena's deck, Baby-5 immediately used her [Fairy Dust] to heal Sabo's wound.

Robin: "Is he alright?" Robin who saw Sabo still unconscious was a little worried.

Baby-5: "He's fine, he just fainted." Hearing Baby-5's words, everyone was a little relieved.

Arthur: "Take him in and let him rest. Hancock, immediately direct the ship to Shimotsuki village, there are people I want to meet. "

Hancock: "Arthur, do you not want to tell Ace and Luffy? They must be very worried. "

Arthur: " I left a letter in Makino for them, both of them will be fine."

Koala: "Will Captain invite Sabo to join us?" The Koala who is most familiar with ASL was a little worried.

Arthur: "Yes, now you get inside with Baby-5 and take care of Sabo, who knows if he will wake up soon."

Arthur no longer lingers to the Kingdom of Goa and decided to immediately go to the village of Shimotsuki. Arthur believes that they will meet again with Ace and Luffy. Athena began to sail away and the view of the island of Dawn began to disappear from the sight of Arthur and the others. At night they had arrived at Shimotsuki Village and see a ship with dragon decoration as the Figure Head of the ship.

Arthur: "Looks like we meet again, Dragon?" Athena approached and stopped next to the Dragon's ship.

Ivankov: "Dragon, is he the Arthur-boy you told me about? He is more handsome than his bounty poster photo. "

Hancock + Robin + Monet: "Don't try, strange face." Seeing Ivankov who was interested in Arthur made the three of them walk forward.

Ivankov: "Face ... is my face weird?"

Dragon: "Are you following me, Arthur?" Dragon walked closer until clearly visible tattoo on his face.

Arthur: "I want to meet with someone who owns a Dojo in this village." Arthur answered casually.

Dragon: "So you rescued the boy on that ship, why didn't you save him faster?"

Arthur: "Of course, he is one of my students but he needs to know how dangerous the ocean is. Then, how about you, did you meet him? "

Dragon: "..." Dragon just kept quiet and heard Arthur's question.

Arthur: "Hahaha ... look like no. At least meet him when he starts sailing to the sea. Are you going to leave right now? "

???: "Dragon-Sama, all supplies have been transported to the ship." A woman wears a robe that covers her entire body while carrying a flag to report to Dragon.

Arthur: "Eh, are you Belo Betty? If true, do you want to join my crew? "

Everyone: "Huh?"
