Vol. 02 Ch. 04 – The red hair and the red nose

Previously …

Mihawk: "This knife is enough to practice sparring with you and I can't fully control Yoru yet."

Mihawk: "Speed, strength, reflexes, and accuracy ... good enough for a kid like you."

Mihawk: "Your wrist movements and your footwork are so familiar to me. DON'T TELL ME... where did you get the Dracule family's basic sword technique manual? "

Arthur: "The Donquixote family, but from where they got it I don't know."

Mihawk: "I want to know if you deserve to use this sword technique. "

…

Arthur: "If I use my devil fruit, Mihawk won't last long."

Mihawk: "Hey. Boy, don't underestimate me. "

Arthur: "[Art's Room]"

Rayleigh: "Teleport ... space ... stoping time ... change the thing itself ..."

Rayleigh rubbed his chin and was again surprised by the conclusion he had reached. Is it possible that Arthur changed a person or a part of a person's body? If so, Arthur can end the fight by changing the skin or vein of his enemy into something that can make the enemy lose blood continually. Without covering the whole body with a strong Haki then nothing can stop Arthur's devil fruit attack.

------------------------- ^_^ -------------------------

Because Arthur's body regeneration rate is very high after consuming medicine from Dr. Vegapunk, Arthur is already firm standing and scratch wounds on his skin began to disappear. But for stamina lost and deep wounds, Arthur needs more time to reach peak again.

Rayleigh: "If you can control the power of your devil fruit perfectly or even awaken it, only a few people can defeat you in close combat."

Arthur: "I also want to know what kind of power I get after awakening this devil fruit. Like you though, I can change the environment around me with the power of this devil fruit but I can't influence myself. "

Rayleigh: "Because your ability is more towards close-range combat, you have to be careful with long-range attacks. If the Mihawk knows your ability beforehand then he will focus more on sending the air blades. "

Mihawk: "Your sword technique still needs a lot of practice, the wind blades using the sword and [Rankyaku] are indeed almost identic because the focus is on the speed of making attacks. But without mastering the soul in your sword you won't be able to develop in sword techniques, so you need to meditate more with your sword. And immediately look for the sword that is only for you, which you have now, it will not take you to the highest reach. " Mihawk toss the 'meat' away and want back to his ship.

Artur: "I just want to ask, do you want to join my crew when I start sailing?"

Mihawk: "Not interested. I always welcome a challenge when you stronger."

Mihawk cleaned his clothes from dust after sparring and gave some advice to Arthur, after which Mihawk immediately walked away leaving Arthur and the others. Rayleigh also felt it was time to go home to his wife and discuss their plans to open a bar in the Sabaody Archipelago. As a farewell, Arthur gave his den-den mushi contact to Rayleigh.

Rayleigh: "Thank you, if my drinking supply runs out, I will contact you."

Arthur: "Is it true that what is in your head is only alcohol?"

Rayleigh: "Hahaha ... train your Haki because maybe you can kill the 'Strongest Creature in the World' and that person".

This time only Arthur and Sebas were on the hill, before deciding to return to the hotel, Arthur approached Roger's grave to say his parting words.

Arthur: "I don't know and don't care what business you haven't finished or the One Piece means. I'm just jealous because seeing you keep smiling at the end of your life that seems like you don't have a burden and enjoy your life fullness. I do not want to be like my previous life. I know that I used to have some reasons for making all my memories disappear but I feel a lot of regret for what I have done in my previous life. So this time I will do whatever I want without making me regret it later. Have a good rest, free man, Gol D Roger. "

Arthur walked away leaving Roger's grave leaving the words 'free man' on his tombstone. The sun had started to set when he arrived in the city, shops and the community had started their usual activities even though this morning a person known as the pirate king had been executed in this city. While on the way to his hotel, Arthur met with two young men who quarreled. One of the young men have red hair and wore a yellow straw hat, the other one had a big red nose like a clown.

111: "You better come with me and be my crew when I become captain later."

222: "HA! Who would want to be a crewman of a stupid captain like you? "

111: "I have decided, Buggy, it will be fun when you become my crew. Hm. "

Buggy: "Of course ... Do you think I would answer like THAT, stupid Shanks?"

Shanks: "What else can you do besides that?"

Buggy: "I will be the captain in my ship and become a famous pirate like captain Roger."

Shanks: "Didn't vice-captain Ray say we had to make our way of life?"

Buggy: "That's why I don't want to be your crew, I know how much trouble it is to be with you."

Arthur: "You, the big red nose should better come along with the straw hat boy."

Buggy: "Who are you calling the big red nose, my nose is normal."

Shanks: "You were the one who shouted during the execution process of Captain Roger."

Arthur: "After you cried like little kids and hugging each other this morning, now you fight in the middle of the road. Hahaha."

Buggy + Shanks: "WHO'S THE HUGGING EACH OTHER!?"

Arthur: "Hahaha ... you don't deny if you cry like a child."

Buggy + Shanks: *ugh*

Arthur: "Big red nose, you should have bigger dreams so you can get bigger results too."

Buggy: "Do you want to be beaten up? Who has a big red nose? "

Arthur: "Straw hat, don't think too much about fairness, because everyone has their value. And you will not be able to force them all. So you better choose one side. "

Shanks: "What do you mean? And who are you anyway? "

Arthur: "I prefer my coffee a little bitter with a little sugar, while Sebas likes his coffee mixed with milk and cream with the same amounts. When I taste it, it tastes very strange, whether what I drink is coffee, milk or cream because of the mixture. "

Buggy: "Why did you start talking about coffee, I prefer cold alcohol. Hm ... it makes me want to drink now. "

Shanks: "Come on to my ship, there are lots of drinks. You must be happy as my crew because I have prepared everything. "

Buggy: "Really? Alright, let's go ... that's NOT it again! Who said I want to be your crew, stupid Shanks? "

Arthur: "Hahaha ... you are a good combi, hm ... extraordinary comedian combi."

Buggy: "Thank you ... Who is the COMEDIAN?"

Shanks: "As my crew says, we are pirates, not a comedian combi."

Buggy: "SHANKS!? ARG!?"

Arthur: "Hahaha, see you later, 'Akagami' Shanks and Buggy the clown."

Arthur left Shanks and Buggy who were quarrels again. Sebas who had been quietly following behind Arthur only shook his head. Arthur wanted to immediately refresh himself in his hotel room and thinking about what he had gotten while practicing sparring with Mihawk.

Maria: "Arthur, finally you are back."

Arthur: "Mother, Bellmere? Aren't you going to be busy all day after the pirate king's execution process? "

Bellmere: "Don't remind me of that." *ugh*

Maria: "She accompanied me after Olvia left with her team somewhere."

Bellmere: "More precisely, Maria came to the marine offices and shouted my name and asked me to accompany her to go shopping. Even though I said that I was busy, she still insisted and Admiral Sengoku, who happened to be at the base at the time, ordered me to escort and guard Maria to go shopping." *sigh*

Arthur: "Forgive my mother."

Maria: "Arthur, clean yourself immediately and let's have dinner together."

Bellmere: "My job will stack up." *sigh*
