Chapter 57: Escape

Chapter 57: Escape

The Pirates felt a little hesitant, a lot of their comrades died because of this stranger which left them afraid to extend his power, but at the same time they are very angry with him, a lot of their friends died because of him for that, they gathered their courage and followed him.

Jack, who was thinking deeply, came to his senses when he saw Arthur running away, moved the mammoth's four limbs and caught up with him at an insane speed.

Arthur's body became completely red from the abundance of blood that covered him, most of the blood was not for him but for his enemies, but his body was nevertheless filled with bloody wounds that varied from superficial wounds to deep wounds and because of this he could not run very fast, which made the Pirates catch up with him quickly.

Bang!

A metal bullet flew quickly and hit Arthur in his left thigh, Arthur stumbled and turned around quickly, pulled out his daggers and sent it flying towards the Pirates, because he used his left hand and because of his severe injury, the daggers flew at a slightly slow speed, which made them useless, so they were easily repelled by the Pirates.

"Heh!"

A sarcastic smile appeared on Arthur's face, he felt very frustrated and at the same time self-mocking.

'Hahahahaha, I was blinded by my self-confidence, I kept repeating that I can escape when I face any danger, but in the end I suffer from my great confidence, I'm just a weak man who thinks himself strong because he managed to defeat a bunch of weak people, real strength is still something very far away that I will never reach' Arthur mocked madly at himself as he took up a fighting position waiting for a clash with his enemies.

As he stood majestically, Arthur laughed in a hoarse voice full of madness and shouted:

"Wahahahahahaha! come on, come to your death," as soon as he finished speaking, a lot of pirates attacked him in a scene that will make anyone goosebumps.

Arthur attacked in turn without caring about the injuries anymore. He was looking forward to die in the company of these pirates. A milky white light appeared around Arthur's body and began to treat his wounds, but the speed of treatment was very slow and made no difference.

With every wave of his sword a human part flew into the air.

"Uhhhh!"

"My haaaand!"

"Heeelp!"

The battlefield was filled with the screams and howls of Pirates as many of them fell lifeless bodies or ran away as blood ran from their bodies.

Arthur's attacks were filled with madness and claimed the lives of his enemies, but he was also severely damaged, when his sword cut off the head of one of the Pirates, a hard and cold sword pierced his chest, spreading chills in his body, Arthur did not panic or get upset from this attack, he drew his sword and baited the pirate, who stabbed him in the head, causing her immediate death.

The injured Jack quickly ran towards Arthur and hit him hard with his giant hose, Arthur flew into the air while coughing up a lump of blood, his vision became very blurry.

Although Arthur was suddenly beaten, he acted before Jack shocked him by quickly turning his sword and thrusting it into Jack's neck.

Jack coughed and blood came out of his mouth, he suffered a fatal blow but regained his composure and ran towards Arthur who was thrown too far.

He wanted to kill Arthur at any cost because he made him feel very dangerous, only 5 pirate men remained on the battlefield, they also caught up with Jack and headed towards Arthur, who fell to the ground.

Arthur stood up with difficulty as blood seeped everywhere from his body he lost a lot of blood as every move he made became accompanied by unbearable pain but he continued to hold on and stand waiting for his enemies.

He did not want to fall until he finished what he started, although his vision became blurry red and he lost vision completely from one of his eyes, which was pierced by a small branch during his fall, but he continued to stand.he was steadfast as a legendary knight in the epics that are told in stories and legends.

Arthur was surrounded by a white light radiating madly. The light was fighting Arthur so he tried to cure Arthur's fatal injuries but his effort was in vain, the injuries were too many and would not heal so simple.

With a stumbling step Arthur walked forward, pulled out a small dagger and held it tightly, he had lost all his weapons and had only this dagger left.

After walking a few steps Jack and the rest of the Pirates appeared behind him, they stood in front of him and looked into his bloodshot eyes, neither party moved and calmly waited for the other party's attack.

The cold night wind blew spreading brutality in the place, Arthur's body swayed as if it would fall at any moment but he continued to stand, after immobility for a few seconds one of the Pirates ran towards him with a strong wave of his sword aimed at Arthur's head, Arthur swayed with difficulty, dodged the sword, and then sent a powerful kick towards the pirate's belly.

The pirate dodged Arthur's foot and waved his sword at her, Arthur, who was very slow and did not pull his foot quickly, felt the cold spreading in his foot, acted quickly and plunged his dagger into the pirate's head.

Although he acted quickly, he was late in responding, cutting off a large part of his leg, which made the ability to walk something very difficult and almost impossible.

Arthur put some weight on his foot and tried to walk on it, but he felt unbearable pain.

His enemies did not wait for him to take a breath of rest, they attacked him collectively and cut with their swords at the same time, Jack also attacked, turned himself into a mammoth figure and ran quickly aiming at Arthur, wrapped his feet and hose with Haki and fixed his eyes on Arthur, this attack carried all his strength.

A smile appeared on Arthur's face, he looked at his enemies and shouted as loudly as he could.

"You're all going to die!" His word carried a kind of pressure that made his enemies hesitate in his places, causing a kind of immobility and stupor; without flinching, Arthur launched an initial form of Royal Haki.

Arthur pressed his injured foot hard and jumped, taking advantage of the moment of immobility of his enemies, he did not know the reason and did not even think about it, all his thinking was directed towards killing.

As fast as possible he reached in front of one pirate and stuck his dagger in his head, the rest regained their composure, but Arthur was able to kill another pirate, and when he wanted to kill the Third Pirate kicked him a giant foot and flew away, causing him to hit the ground and roll over.

Arthur's body froze and his vision began to become more blurry, the light radiation around his body increased and the speed of his treatment increased, which made many of his small scars and scratches disappear, but the severe injuries were not treated, but the light surrounded the injuries and stopped the bleeding.

Despite this, Arthur did not regain his clarity and his consciousness continued to drift away, he could sense the arrival of death, after a few seconds he completely lost consciousness.

However, the beam of Light continued to increase until it became visible in the real world.

Jack and the Pirates who stayed alive saw a milky white light surrounding Arthur's body, the light had such a strange ability of attraction that it made everyone who saw it want to walk towards him like an insect-attracting lamp.

The Pirates walked with slow steps towards Arthur, their eyes full of oppression, they didn't know why, but their bodies were filled with this desire.

The same effect happened for Jack, but he controlled himself and continued to observe what was happening from afar.

When the Pirates approached Arthur, Arthur suddenly stood up and a finger of his hand pierced the forehead of one of the Pirates, he quickly withdrew his hand and his finger again pierced the forehead of another person.

There was an evil smile on Arthur's face as he stared at Jack, who was very surprised by what was going on. Suddenly Arthur ran at a crazy speed and left the place, although Jack tried to follow him, but he could not catch up with him.

Despite Arthur's severe injuries, he ran and the evil smile still hung on his face, blood flew from his body and his wounds were aggravated by his rough movements, but he continued to run away.
