Disordered Memory

Arthur noticed that Ockham had been looking at him with extreme hatred the moment he entered.

To be honest, he also felt very baffled.

"Tell me, is there any deep hatred between us?" Arthur looked at Ockham curiously.

"That bastard Pendragon! I won't forget the hatred of the Bach Family even if I die!" Ockham roared powerlessly. It could be seen that he was very emotional. If not for the Seastone handcuffs, he would have almost pounced on Arthur.

"The Bach Family?" Arthur rubbed his chin as he muttered. This name sounded a little familiar!

Based on what he had said earlier, the Bach Family must have some sort of grudge against the Pendragons.

He thought to himself.

"Pendragon… Bach…"

"Huh?"

With a flash of inspiration, Arthur recalled the origin of the Bach Family.

To be precise, the Bach Family was originated from the Pendragons, as the descnended from Bach Pendragon!

Bach was the second son of the first king Martin Pendragon.

Bach was smart, outstanding, and talented since he was a child. He also had a better reputation than the eldest prince at that time. He was a strong contender for the throne!

Unfortunately, at that time, the king, Martin, was more interested in the first Prince!

Before Martin passed away, he gave the throne to the first Prince.

This was something that Bach, who had been intelligent and outstanding since he was young and had the support of many nobles, could not accept.

In a fit of anger, Bach abandoned his surname and went out to sea with a large amount of wealth!

After that, there was no more news about him.

Of course, the facts proved that King Martin was right. The first Prince was indeed suitable to be a king. After he became a king, he worked hard and diligently. The development of the kingdom was excellent under his rule.

Among them, the first Prince was the ancestor of Arthur!

Thinking about it, the two of them were still relatives!

However, why was Ockham looking at Arthur with such hatred?

Although Bach had failed to compete for the king and went out to sea in a fit of rage, that was a hundred years ago. There was no need to hold a grudge for such a long time, right?

Looking at Ockham's expression, it was practically irreconcilable!

"In that case, the two of us are still relatives!" Arthur touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

"Gah, who is your relative? All of you deserve to die!" Ockham spat and said resentfully.

"I remember that you haven't come into contact with St. Martin Kingdom in the past hundred years, right? Why do you hate us so much?" Arthur asked with a frown.

"You guys have been chasing us for over a hundred years. Why are you asking us why we hate you so much?" Ockham's eyes were red as he asked in disbelief.

"Wait a minute? Chasing you for a hundred years?" Arthur was puzzled. From what he knew, no one had pursued them ever since Bach left, let alone chased after them!

"What? You don't admit it? Do you know how much pain I suffered when I was a child? Under your pursuit, my parents, my brothers and sisters, my grandparents all died in front of me. Do you know how much pain it was?"

Ockham roared loudly, his voice was a little hoarse.

Before Arthur could say anything, Leiner, who was at the side, questioned him, "How is that possible? When you were young, that was at most several decades ago. However, our clan has been in charge of escorting the Passing Month every year. How could I not know anything about any activities related to the Bach family hunt?"

This time, Arthur felt that something was wrong.

"Hehe, I have already been captured. Why are you still not admitting it? Is pride so important to you?" Ockham said with some grief and anger. He thought that Arthur had said this because he was unwilling to expose this kind of scandal.

"So…Your parents, brothers, sisters,"

"And your grandparents were killed in the pursuit. How did you survive?" Arthur asked.

Arthur felt that something was wrong, so he wanted to gather more information to see if he could find any clues.

"Huh? Me?" Ockham pointed at himself and let out a bitter laugh. Then, veins popped up on his head and he said angrily, "I was hiding in the toilet's manure pit to survive!"

Pfft! Hahaha!"

Leiner laughed out of the blue.

Arthur glared at him fiercely, and then his smile disappeared.

Then, Arthur looked at Ockham and asked in confusion,

"Impossible!" "If I were to chase after your people, how could I not know how many people your family has? After killing your parents, your brothers, sisters, and your grandparents, even if you hide in a manure pit, I will not let you go!"

Ockham thought about it carefully. There were indeed many things that could not be explained in his memory, but he still said hatefully, "Who knows what you are thinking?"

"You better think about it again. What if you get your revenge wrong?" Arthur tried to persuade him. He also wanted to know who had such a great hatred for Ockham. Was it targeting Ockham or him?

"Don't be so hypocritical. How can I remember the hatred of the last hundred years wrongly!" Ockham roared angrily.

"Wrongly?"

His words reminded Arthur.

"Leinsd, go and see if Shaka is done yet. Ask him to come over!" Arthur ordered.

"Yes!" Leiner nodded and turned to leave.

After a while, he came in with Shaka.

"Shaka, are you done?" Arthur asked.

"Yes!" Shaka nodded expressionlessly.

"Good, then look at his memories and see what exactly is going on!" Arthur pointed at Ockham and frowned.

"Yes!"

Shaka nodded, then walked to Ockham's side and placed his hand on his forehead.

Ockham inexplicably felt a trace of fear, as if his entire body was exposed to the eyes of the person in front of him. He could not help but retaliate in fear.

"What are you doing? Don't!"

Ockham's eyes were full of resistance, but he had no ability to resist since the Seastone handcuffs weakened him.

Shaka closed his eyes and carefully read Ockham's memories!

After a while, Ockham fell to the ground. Shaka opened his eyes and frowned. "There seems to be something wrong with his memories?"

"What is the problem?" Arthur could not help but ask.

"His memory is in chaos!"

"Chaos?"

"Yes, he is indeed from the Bach Family, but his memory is a bit messed up. It's a bit out of place. It's as if someone wiped a part of it with a rubber and then filled it up himself!" Shaka said seriously.

"Someone erased his memory?"

If it was another world, it was hard to say. But in this world, that could be done by using devil fruit's power.

"Memory…"

Could it be the Memo-memo fruit?

But shouldn't that fruit in Big Mom Pirates' posession?

Or did the user of this fruit died, and finally fell into the Big Mom Pirates' hands?

Or was it a fruit with similar effects?

Then why did they target Ockham or the Kingdom of St. Martin?

All sorts of doubts emerged in Arthur's mind.

His face was cloudy and uncertain. He had obtained too little information and could not think of a reason!

However, he was certain that someone was targeting St. Martin Kingdom. After all, they had already changed Ockham's memories unknowingly. Why did they do this? Wasn't it easier to just kill him?

After a while, Arthur suddenly laughed. No matter what conspiracy he had, in terms of absolute strength, all schemes were paper tigers!

"Leiner, just execute him!" Arthur pointed at Ockham and said.

He originally wanted to hang Ockham at the port and let him die slowly.

After this incident, he was no longer in the mood to torture him.

When Leiner heard this, he took out his rifle without hesitation and aimed it at Ockham.

"Bang!"

In an instant, a bloody hole appeared on Ockham's face as he lay on the ground. His eyes widened in anger and he looked at Arthur unwillingly!

"Give him a proper burial!" Arthur thought for a moment and ordered. After all, he was from the Pendragon family. He would at least do this to honor him.

"By the way, let Victoria in as well!" Leiner was about to drag Ockham's corpse out when Arthur suddenly said.

"Yes!" Leiner nodded and then dragged Ockham's corpse out.
