Chapter 72

The battle between Arthur and the red hair had been raging for a day and a night, drawing the attention of Marine and the World Government.

A secret team observed the battle from a distance, analyzing the immense power displayed by both fighters.

In the Navy Headquarters' conference room, high-ranking officials discussed Arthur's strength and potential threat.

Lieutenant General Crane emphasized the need to either recruit Arthur or eliminate him to prevent instability in the Grand Line's first half.

Admiral Akainu expressed a desire to eliminate Arthur immediately, seeing him as a threat that must be dealt with.

Aokiji appeared indifferent but remained attentive, while Kizaru made light-hearted comments about the battle.

Sengoku turned to Garp for his opinion on Arthur, acknowledging Garp's keen sense of judgment despite his casual demeanor.

Back at the battle, both Arthur and the red hair showed signs of fatigue as they continued to clash.

Arthur unleashed powerful attacks like Auger and Dragon Cone Blast, while the red hair countered with Black Dragon Fury and Splitting.

The intensity of their battle caused the island to sink, with only remnants remaining above sea level. Arthur, in his transformed state, stood on a large piece of earth, observing the red hair on another nearby piece.

As Erdan Huashen's transformation wore off, Arthur returned to his normal appearance. Both fighters, satisfied with the battle's outcome, understood each other's strengths and weaknesses better.

Arthur recognized that if the fight continued, he would likely lose due to the red hair's superior physical strength and Armament Haki.

Despite appearing evenly matched, Arthur knew he needed to improve further to surpass opponents like the red hair.

Arthur and the red hair concluded their battle, acknowledging each other's strength and potential. Despite Arthur's exhaustion, he remained determined to improve and reach the top of the world within three years.

As they boarded a boat and enjoyed food together, a peeping sensation caught Arthur's attention, leading him to unleash a lightning strike that took down surveillance seabirds.

Meanwhile, at Navy Headquarters, Garp speculated on Arthur's newfound wings, suggesting that they might be a hidden aspect of his elementalization.

Back on the boat, Arthur and the red hair, now good friends, shared a meal after their intense battle. Arthur felt satisfied with the outcome and reaffirmed his goal to become the world's strongest fighter within a few years.
