Rayleigh: "Not many people know about Laughtale, it seems like you know a lot. Coupled with the Haki you have, what do you want tenryuubito boys? Do you know what is the result of your question earlier? You know that the ocean will be more chaotic after this, right?"
Arthur: I want to be free to explore and find out about everything there is in this world with my wives. But I did that because it was necessary to start the great age of pirates."
Olvia: "The will inherited, the destiny of the age, the dreams of the people, as long as people continue to pursue the meaning of freedom, these things will never stop."
Rayleigh: "Your Busoshoku and Kenbunshoku that's even though still at the elementary level, it is already very good for someone at your age. I will wait for the news telling your journey when you going sailing. But why don't I feel the slightest sympathy from you? "
Arthur: "I know that Roger gave himself and his life will not long again. Let's just say I can know the past and future even if only a little. "
Rayleigh and Arthur arrived at the naval headquarters in Lougetown and were welcomed by a navy admiral. He wore a black suit and a navy 'justice' jacket, with afro hair and round glasses. Arthur immediately recognized him even though he still didn't have his trademark beard and hat.
------- ^_^ -------
Rayleigh: "I didn't make you wait long, didn't the navy admiral, Sengoku the Buddha"
Sengoku: "I knew you would go for a drink before burying him. But I don't think that you will come with someone who shouldn't be with sea trash like you. "
Arthur: "Looks like you recognize me, Admiral Sengoku."
Sengoku: "Kong gave a picture of Maria and you, ordering the navies in Lougetown to look after you. But instead, you are hanging out with sea trash like Rayleigh, apparently because your father's blood is thicker. "
Arthur: "Let's just say you don't see me and everything will be fine. So can we immediately finish what makes us meet each other? "
Sengoku: "Everything is ready. As per the agreement, you may bring the body for you to have a funeral, vice-captain Roger pirate, the "Dark King" Silvers Rayleigh. " Sengoku answered Arthur's question by pointing out a coffin next to the entrance gate of the headquarters, he also wanted to immediately complete his task and return to marineford.
Rayleigh: "Thank you."
Arthur: "See you again, the future of marine's fleet admiral, Sengoku the Buddha."
Rayleigh lifted and put the coffin on his shoulder and walked out, so did Arthur. This time Arthur walked in front and Rayleigh followed behind. Sebas who had been following the two of them from a distance also joined in and walked beside Rayleigh.
Arthur: "Where do you want to bury Roger?" Arthur asked Rayleigh while focusing on the compass on his hand.
Rayleigh: "On the hill behind the city, where are the people you want to meet?"
Arthur: "It seems like he wants to leave the island. It looks right to meet him before we bury Roger. There he is." Arthur who arrived at the harbor pointed to someone in his small boat.
Rayleigh: "So he is the one you want to meet, do you want to challenge him?"
Arthur: "I know that I'm not comparable to him, so more precisely I ask to practice sparring. That's why I brought this alcoholic drink as a gift. "
In a small boat, a 20-year-old youth with a thin, tall body with short black hair and a sideburn upwards was seen. He wore black trousers and an unbuttoned red shirt made his chest and cross necklace visible. The clear his characteristic that is seen is the sharp yellow eyes with inner ring, which resemble eagle eyes. Yes, what Arthur wants to meet is the candidate of shichibukai and the number one swordsman in the world, Dracule Mihawk. But Arthur did not see the most powerful sword in the world, Yoru, one of the twelve Saijo O Wazamono. Arthur thought that Mihawk might get the sword after the great Pirate Era began.
Arthur: It looks like Mihawk's famous coffin boat hasn't been made yet.
Mihawk: "Rayleigh, who is that kid beside you who screamed during Roger's execution?"
Rayleigh: "You don't know each other?"
Arthur: "We first time met, My name is Phantasm D. Arthur, and it's nice to meet you, the number one swordsman candidate in the world, the last descendant of the Dracule family, 'Hawk Eyes' Dracule Mihawk."
Rayleigh: "He has business with you, I thought you know each other. He also has a hard time bringing presents to you. "
Arthur: "Oh, I do not feel bothered, instead I will the one bring trouble to Mihawk. Sebas! " Arthur called Sebas as a sign to give him a wooden box containing alcohol bottles that Arthur had prepared.
Mihawk: "So what do you want?" Mihawk asks after opening Arthur's wooden box.
Arthur: "If you have time, I want to have a spar with you."
Mihawk: "Not challenging, but sparring?" Mihawk thought for a moment and saw Rayleigh nodding at him. "All right, because Rayleigh is with you and as a thank you for this gift, I will give you my time."
Rayleigh: "Come to the hill behind the city, my shoulders are getting tired."
Arthur was shocked when he saw Mihawk coming out of his cabin with Yoru on his back. Who would have thought, in this ordinary ship stored the most powerful sword in the world, one of twelve Saijo O Wazamono, Yoru? Arthur wondered in his heart, was Mihawk not afraid if someone stole it? Arthur and co continued their walk, this time Rayleigh walked in front to show the direction of the road and their group increased by one person. During the walk, no one spoke. Finally, they reached the top of the hill, under a large tree where the only standing tree had the name of Roger craft on it. Roger seems to visit this place often, Arthur also began to like this place. From the top of this hill, they can see incredible views of the city and the wide sea.
Mihawk: "So here you want to bury him?"
Arthur: "Do you want to dig a hole with your hands? Maybe Yoru should humble himself to dig the grave, hahaha. " Arthur laughed out loud not long after receiving a sharp gaze from Mihawk.
Arthur: "Sorry." Then Arthur took three shovels from his storage ring.
Rayleigh: "Where are you taking these shovels from?" Rayleigh asked in surprise to see Arthur who suddenly took out the shovels.
Arthur: "My father inheritance, a storage ring, he got it while in Rainbow Mist. Better get it over quickly because I want to start sparring with Mihawk "
Arthur began to dig a hole right next to a large tree. Unexpectedly, Mihawk also helped Sebas and Arthur dig a hole so Arthur must take out another shovel for Rayleigh. After finishing they slowly put Roger's coffin into the grave. Arthur gave the final touch with a cross-shaped tombstone with a crown on it. He deliberately did not give a name because it seems Rayleigh also did not want anyone to know that Roger was buried there. After finishing, Arthur also poured the alcohol into the tombstone and put the rest of the bottle beside the tombstone.
Rayleigh: "Thank you, Arthur."
Arthur: "You're welcome. Maybe you have words you can say, Mihawk?" Arthur asked Mihawk because all this time Arthur felt Mihawk was like a priest with various ornaments on Mihawk's body in the anime.
Mihawk: "He is a pain for ass for his friends but it would not be the same without him. I am lucky to already fight with him when he on the peak. I am here because of this boy drag me. After this, I will become the number one swordsman in the world. From the dust, we come and we will all return to dust. A truly great man who changes the world around him for the better, although after this it will be even more chaotic because of his words and this boy's question. "
Rayleigh: "Hahahaha ... not wrong ... hahaha!"
