Vol. 04 Ch. 34 – Sennen Goroshi

Arthur: "I will continue my voyage in a few days."

ASL: "Eh !?"

For more than 3 weeks Arthur trains ASL on Dawn Island, and he knows it's time to go. Arthur who delivered the news casually while they were all having dinner made ASL three siblings confused how to respond. The entire ART Pirates crew has become a part of the three of their daily life. Koala who was originally quiet became a cheerful and encouraging figure, Bepo is still Bepo, Sugar is always fighting with Luffy and Ace, Law is getting closer to Sabo, Baby-5 cooking is a sense of home for the three of them. Meanwhile, Arthur, Hancock, Robin, and Monet became teachers and family figures.

Luffy: "Arthur-Sensei, is it true that Sensei will go?"

Arthur: "Yes, I have to continue my journey, Luffy." Arthur stroked Luffy's head that looked gloomy.

Koala: "Captain, can't you invite the three of them to join us?"

Arthur: "If we really are meant to be together then we will definitely meet again."

Luffy: "Sob..." Luffy started not being able to hold back his tears because only now he had many friends.

Arthur: "This hat is perfect for you, like Shanks." Arthur put a straw hat on Luffy's head.

Luffy: "Eh, Sensei knows Shanks?"

Arthur: "Sorry, I've never told you. I met him during the execution process of Gol D Roger, Shanks was one of the crews of the pirate king. "

ASL: "Eh?"

Arthur: "Shanks cried out loud when your father, Roger was executed." This time Arthur turned his attention towards Ace.

Luffy: "Shanks was once the crew of the pirate king's ship, cool." Luffy was excited again because they talked about Shanks.

Arthur: "But I haven't heard the story of how you got this straw hat from Shanks, Luffy."

Luffy: "I met Shanks and the others at Makino's bar ..." Luffy immediately told his story with Shanks.

Arthur: Good. One more thing that changed, Shanks did not lose his hand while saving Luffy.

Robin: "I heard that Akagami Shanks likes to party, it turns out it's worse." They continued their dinner while chatting.

Arthur: "Ace, I know you will be much targeted by the marine and your father's enemies if your identity is known to them, so choose the person you trust before you tell it."

Ace: "Hmm, I know that."

Robin: "I never thought that Ace was the son of the pirate king Roger." Robin shook her head in disbelief.

Hancock: "What is so great about that? Roger is Roger and Ace is Ace, they are two different people with different paths. " Hancock still didn't care about that.

Arthur: "Take it easy, I am not leaving today, but certainly this week I will go and before that, I have to give a final test for you, so, tomorrow morning before breakfast, I want to meet you in the practice field."

That night, at the secret headquarters of ASL, the 3 siblings were unable to sleep. They could not believe that Arthur and his crew would leave immediately and make them not think about the test that Arthur would give because he often tested their fighting abilities. Finally, they fell asleep after chatting for a while until finally the sun rose again and they were awakened by the rain clouds in their secret base.

Luffy: "Help, I'm drowning."

Ace: "Wow !?"

Sabo: "You two, quickly wake up, this is Hancock's power. It looks like we woke up late because we spent the night chatting. "

Ace: "Let's quickly change clothes and go to the practice field." The three of them rushed to their feet and jumped down after changing their clothes.

Arthur: "How long do you want to make me wait?" Arthur who was already standing on the training ground saw 3 siblings running.

Sabo: "Forgive us, Sensei."

Arthur: "I know that you sleep very late, but I will not make the test easier, I still give you the same test. Your final test is to snatch this bell from me, for those who fail will not be able to eat breakfast and I will tie you in the tree while eating in front of you. " Arthur then creates two small bells with the power of his devil fruit.

* Cring Cring *

Luffy: "Uh ... I haven't had breakfast, I'm hungry." Luffy's stomach sounded when he heard the word breakfast.

Ace: "So that's why he wants us to gather before breakfast."

Sabo: "But wait, why are there only two bells, Sensei?"

Arthur: "Since there are only two bells, there must be one person I will tie to the tree. And for those who succeed, I'll give you a gift, whatever you ask for. Whether it's a strong logia-type devil fruit like Hancock's or any fighting techniques or even money and treasures, whatever that is. The one who failed might be one person, or all of you failed. You can use any means, you will not be able to snatch the bell from me without attacking with the intention of killing me. "Arthur tied the two bells around his belt and smiled at the three of them.

Ace: "Strength…" Ace imagined what gifts he would get.

Sabo: "It will be difficult ..."

Luffy: "Yosh, I can do it. [Gomu Gomu no ...] "Luffy immediately intended to attack Arthur but Arthur disappeared from his place and stood behind Luffy grabbing his neck.

Arthur: "Don't be in a hurry, I haven't said start yet." Ace and Sabo were immediately surprised to see Arthur who looked very serious unlike usual.

Ace: I know that he's strong, but this...

Sabo: I can't keep up with Sensei's movements.

Arthur: "All right, you guys get ready ... start." Arthur who had let go of Luffy's neck immediately gave a start signal.

Ace and Sabo immediately took the opportunity to swing the pipe towards Arthur's body but Arthur jumped on Luffy's head so that the pipe hit his face, but because of the ability of the devil fruit made Luffy feel no pain. They attack irregularly making some of their attacks instead hit his brothers.

Arthur: "If it continues like that, let alone snatch the bell from me, just touching me you won't be able to." Arthur just kept evading without even receiving an attack.

Sabo: "Why are you always like that, you always attack openly." Ace always tries to attack from the front and uses all his strength without regard to the surroundings.

Ace: "Shut up, how about you too?" Sabo who over calculate his attacks always clashes with Ace.

Luffy: "[Gomu Gomu no Pistol]" Luffy who took the opportunity to attack Arthur from behind but could still be avoided by Arthur who moved quickly moved behind Luffy.

Arthur: "Never leave your backside open." Arthur squat down with a hand on Luffy's back and the other hand was pulled back in a position ready to hit.

Luffy: "Eh?" Luffy was still waiting for his hand to return after the punch launched.

Sabo: "Sensei not only dodged, but he also decided to attack." Seeing Arthur who wanted to hit Luffy worried him.

Ace: "Luffy, behind you, quickly dodge." Ace tries to warn Luffy but it's too late.

Arthur: "Too late, [Konohagakure Ogi: Sennen Goroshi]" Arthur's right fist changed by stretching out his index and middle fingers plus Busoshoku Haki moved quickly to Luffy's butt and made Luffy flying in pain.

Luffy: "AGH !?" Luffy, who felt pain in his buttocks, shouted loudly and was thrown into the air because of the strong push from Arthur's attack.
