Vol. 03 Ch. 03 – First Challange

Previously …

Hancock: "So you were the previous Kuja empress? Give the title to Marigold right now. " Hancock ordered Gloriosa by pointing his finger at Gloriosa.

Gloriosa: "If she is indeed fit and able to carry the burden, then I will gladly give her the title of Kuja empress."

…

Robin: "I want to find and see Poneglyph with my own eyes."

Hancock: "I fulfilled my agreement with Arthur to become his navigator. "

Robin: "Hm, tsundere."

Hancock: "What did you say? [Pistol Rain] "

Robin: "[Dos Fleur]"

Arthur: "Oi, oi, don't overdo it, Robin. Even though I'm happy to see Hancock's cute behavior. "

Hancock: "Cute... hehehe, he said I was cute..."

Rayleigh: "So why did you start the journey with Arthur, Hancock?"

Hancock: "I want to erase the existing slavery system."

Baby-5: "Of course my dream is to serve young master Arthur."

Hancock: "Dream for yourself, sigh."

Arthur: "I just want to erase the World Nobility system. World Government is a system where the leaders of countries in this world gather, what is wrong with this system? They can share information and problems they have within the Revery event World Government. There is nothing wrong with this system, it's just that these leaders are the ones who make it became a mistake. Coupled with the presence of the World Nobility makes this system even more broken, Heavenly Tribute, slavery, and other actions that cause troubles to the citizens. "

Rayleigh: "I will wait for news of your journey and those times to come." Said Rayleigh proudly.

Shaky: "Hm, I'm a big fan of Arthy-Chan now." Shaky smiled sweetly at Arthur.

Hancock + Robin: "Don't even try." They both ran ahead Arthur blocking Shaky teasing Arthur.

Shaky: "Fufufu, you two are very funny."

Arthur: "Don't tease them both, Shaky."

They returned to talk about other insignificant matters, especially Rayleigh who continued to talk about Arthur's alcohol. Hancock chatted with her two younger sisters before they separated for a while. Hancock was sure that they would meet again. Robin still keeps asking Shaky about their information network while Gloriosa and Baby-5 just sit back and enjoy their drinks.

Arthur: "Oh yeah, old man Ray. Did you take care of Roger's grave all this time? "

Rayleigh: "I go there once a year on the day the execution and bring him your alcohols."

Arthur: "Aren't you worried about the other members of the Roger pirate?"

Rayleigh: "Hahaha, that's the last thing I'm worried about. They are grown men and can make their own decisions. "

Arthur: "I haven't told you that I met the redhead and the red nose after our separation in Louge Town."

Rayleigh: "Oh ... Shanks and Buggy, they are both very funny. What did you say about the person you wanted to meet earlier is Mihawk? He had already begun to get the nickname of Swordsman No. 1 in the world. "

Arthur: "That is my plan, but there are other people I want to meet."

Rayleigh: "Oh, who is that?"

Arthur: "Robin, do you know where Edward 'Whitebeard' Newgate the captain of Whitebeard pirate is now in?"

Robin: "Moby Dick was last seen on the Aman island of New World." Robin opened her information memo, she had been looking for all the information about famous pirates and bounty hunters, as well as marines whose strength was recognized by the world.

Shaky: "Moby Dick docked at Foodvalten yesterday." Shaky connected information from Robin while drinking casually.

Arthur: "Looks like you can't follow information from New World yet."

Robin: "Yes, even with the help of your family I still have difficulty forming a network there."

Rayleigh: "Do you want to see Whitebeard? What did you meet him for? " Rayleigh was still cool checking the box containing whiskey from Arthur.

Arthur: "Of course to challenge him."

*blurt…*

Hancock, Robin, Mari, Sonia, and Gloriosa spit out the drinks in their mouths. Only Rayleigh, Shaky, and Baby-5 were calm at Arthur's words. Who doesn't know Edward 'Whitebeard' Newgate the captain of Whitebeard pirates in this world? The whole world recognizes that Whitebeard is the strongest man in the world.

Gloriosa: "Do you know what your words mean? You want to challenge the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard. "

Hancock: "Do you want war with Whitebeard pirates with just the four of us? No kidding." Although Hancock often behaves arrogantly she is not stupid to not know the consequences of Arthur decides to fight with the Whitebeard pirates.

Robin: "Didn't you say that we will be checking out the 4 Blue Seas first, then after that, we will conquer the grand line and New World in the end, so why do you want to go straight to New World to meet Whitebeard?"

Arthur: "As I said, I want to challenge him before he loses to the time, now he should be nearing 60 years old. I want to challenge him before his body starts to weaken, even old man Ray can't beat his age. Or do you want to be my opponent to test my abilities now, Rayleigh? " Arthur raised his glass and pointed it at Rayleigh then drank it, Rayleigh just shook his head.

Rayleigh: "I'm now just the coating mechanic old man Ray."

After they talked for a long time enough, Arthur and his crew decided to start their journey and say goodbye to Ray and the others. Gloriosa also decided to immediately go to Amazon Lily accompanied by Rayleigh who was worried about the situation of the 3 women. When Arthur reached near Athena, he saw many surrounding his ship. Athena who has an unusual model is, of course, be the center of attention of many pirates.

Mob1: "Hey, is this your boat? Hand over your ship and show me how to operate it? Oh, the 3 girls behind you aren't bad, they can accompany me tonight. Hahaha." Hancock and Robin want to beat him but stopped by Arthur.

Arthur: "If you always care about people like them there will be no rest for you." Arthur just kept walking followed by Hancock, Robin, and Baby-5.

Mob2: "How dare you ignore the captain." The crew of Mob1 hit Arthur's chest but no effect made his friends confused and shocked because they know Mob2 strength.

Baby-5: "How dare you attack young master Arthur. Even though I know that you guys can't make young master Arthur move, it doesn't mean that I will stand by after seeing you attacking young master Arthur. " Baby-5 immediately took out her wings and now she can also take out her tiara crown in hybrid form.

Mob1: "Where did the little girl go?" For the mob1, the Baby-5 movement was too fast and in a short time all his men fell and he was the only one left standing.

Arthur: "Come on, I want to arrive at Foodvalten this week."

Arthur walked past Mob1 who was stand with trembling legs and immediately fell because his feet failed. After this, Mob1 pirate decided to stay in paradise and not continue their journey to the New World. Arthur quickly finished coating the ship with a special resin from Yarukiman Mangrove, so they could go to New World through Arthur's secret port. Arthur felt this was not the time for him to go to Fishman Island. After arriving at the oceans of New World, Arthur reminded Hancock about the weather she was studying. Athena returned to the surface and the bubble coating burst.

Hancock: "At first I thought that the Maubeugemour sea was far-fetched. But after arriving here I could feel the chaos of the weather. Arthur, please handle anything that will come down. "

Arthur took out his Tonfa Sword and slashed into the sky splitting the giant drops of water and ice as well as the avalanche that fell so that it did not fall into Athena. When Athena fell into a hole that suddenly appeared in the middle of the sea, Hancock immediately pressed the button to roll up the sail and pressed the button with the words "Reject" to activate the Reject Dial that made Athena pushed into the air and flying for some time. Soon they were out of the Maubeugemour sea area and the waves had calmed down.

Arthur: "Is our direction correct towards Foodvalten?"

Hancock: "Of course, do you underestimate my navigation skills?"

Arthur: "Of course not." Arthur checking his magic compass and indeed Whitebeard was still on the island of Foodvalten for pointing in the same direction with the eternal pose.
