Vol. 05 Ch. 41 – Cliffs In The End

When the battle between the ART pirates and the marine took place in one of the ports of the Sorbet kingdom, the royal soldiers received orders to evacuate the surrounding residents. The residents who lived near the port ran in a panic with their loved ones.

Among the sea of ​​marine personnel, there was an empty spot between them. Only one person could be seen standing in the middle of the marine siege, no one dared to move closer to the center of the circle. Of course, the one in the middle of the circle was Arthur. As he moved, the circle also moved but kept their distance.

Tokikake: "Can you only dodge and attack low-level marine?" Tokikake continued to fire his guns at Arthur who just dodged without any apparent intention of attacking back, even though it wasn't.

Arthur: "Haha !? You are who said that these marine forces are only low-level. "

Arthur kept trying to attack Tokikake with [Art Room], but Tokikake kept moving so fast that Arthur couldn't use his devil fruit ability on Tokikake. Knowing that his battle with Tokiake would continue to stalemate without using up all of his strength, Arthur turned to reduce the number of their opponents.

Tokikake: "Don't get into his range, keep your distance more than 10 meters from him if you don't want to be like them." Tokikake gave orders to his men by pointing at the dozens of marine statues that had received Arthur's attack.

Arthur: "Looks like they've arrived." Arthur restricted the range of the [Art Room] so that his concentration would not be too distracted during his battle with Tokikake.

Baby-5: "Arthur, sorry we're late." Baby-5 suddenly appeared beside Arthur in a circle of marine siege.

Arthur: "Baby-5, tell Monet to help Robin fight Rear-Admiral. Also, tell Koala and Kuina to help the others against the Commodores while I need Sugar to help Nymph from a distance. I'm going to fight Vice-Admiral Tokikake. And Baby-5, before you fight this marine crowd, please… "After Arthur whispered a request to Baby-5, he immediately moved so fast that he seemed to disappear to the marines that surrounded him.

Tokikake: "Looks like you're getting serious, I hope captain-level marines can get over the ART pirates so they can help the Commodores immediately." Tokikake follows Arthur gladly to moving their fight location far from his members.

All of ART Pirate members had to focus on their opponents because the abilities of HQ marine's high-ranking officers couldn't compare to the Blue Sea marine. Even so, their stray attacks still resulted in the number of low-level marines injured. Especially Hancock's attacks with her Cloud-Cloud Fruit and Ikaros with her Weapon-Weapon Fruit.

Hancock: "I heard about you from Maria. Gion, Rear Admiral, 32 years old, met Arthur for the first time 20 years ago. "

Gion: "If you are his wife then be a good wife and bring Arthur to go home. Don't let him continue to be a pirate. "

Hancock: "Precisely because I am the best wife make me support my husband's decision. [Storm Domain]. " Hancock put her palms together and the clouds above the harbor of the kingdom of Sorbet began to darken and there was a sound of thunder.

Gion: "Aren't you afraid that your attack will hit your comrade?" Gion ran towards Hancock and tried to slash her sword at Hancock but was avoided.

Hancock: "One or two thunderbolts won't kill them. Hmph. "

Gion: "So they've already been hit by your own attack. Poor them ... "

Bepo: "Achoo ...!? Why is the weather suddenly so bad, it's must be Hancock? " Bepo suddenly sneezes while the fight is still going on and returns alone in Athena after Monet and the others appear then disappear again.

*BANG BANG BANG

The sound of lightning striking in the middle of their battle caused the unlucky marine to roast black. With complete ART pirate members make their battle easier. Especially the help from Sabo's [Body Clone] because he had already received help from Koala and Kuina.

Sabo: "Koala, Kuina, you finally came." Sabo started to run out of breath while his opponent was still standing straight with his 8 swords.

Koala: "The captain asked you to send [Body Clone] to the others." The koala transforms into her Zoan hybrid form.

Sabo: "Alright."

Onigumo: "He used the Mythical Zoan, and is now an eagle-type Zoan. ART pirate's bud had to be trimmed before they got stronger. And the sword that the girl use… " Onigumo started to check his opponent's emerging abilities.

Kuina: "Hattoryu ... Eight Sword Styles ... it's my first time seeing this." Kuina was so excited when she saw the swordsman in front of her that she pulled the Dojigiri from its sheath which was left by her mother.

Onigumo: "Justice always wins." Onigumo didn't want any longer to give them the time and opportunity to make plans.

Kuina: "[Ittoryu: Crimson Cressent]"

Onigumo: "Flying Slash Attack?" The real Onigumo was shocked to see the little girl who was already capable of using this advanced swordsman attack.

Sabo: "Kuina, since when have you been able to use Flying Slash Attack?" Not only was Onigumo surprised, but his friends were also seeing this for the first time.

Kuina: "Today." Kuina replied briefly and returned to focus on her opponent leaving Sabo and Koala stunned.

Baby-5 again made her body invisible with his [Fairy Dust]. Seeing the dark clouds and lightning that continued to strike made her easier on her job given by Arthur. After the marine had suffered from the thundercloud, this time suddenly a thick fog enveloped all of them making their visibility very limited.

Robin: "Monet, finally you guys arrived." Seeing the mist and Monet that suddenly appeared nearby, she felt grateful because she felt a little difficult against the giant who had strong physical strength.

Monet: "Sorry, but I'm a little annoyed that I haven't finished shopping. So let's end this immediately. " In Monet's two hands, suddenly two knives appeared and she prepared to attack his opponent.

Robin: "I'll stop his movements and you finish him."

Monet: "All right."

Robin: "[Mil Fleur: Gigantesco Mano]." Two giant hands emerged from the ground and stopped Rear Admiral John Giant's movements.

As the battle reached its climax, Arthur was still running and trying to take Tokikake away from the crowd. While dodging the bullets that Tokikake fired, Arthur also occasionally launched a Flying Slash Attack as a counterattack. Until finally they were deeper in the middle of the forest where no one would watch their fight. Arthur stopped when in front of him there was a steep cliff.

Tokikake: "Your life will end on this cliff." Tokikake stopped suddenly because Arthur also stopped

Arthur: "Hehehe ... Cliff hanger." Tokikake was confused by what Arthur said.

Tokikake: "Ha? Why don't you ... "The sentence was interrupted because his Kenbunshoku Haki saw Arthur's image in the next few seconds.

Arthur: "Looks like, you have realized. I don't want anyone to see my strength, but I really want to try it in a real battle. "

Tokikake: "What the ..."

Arthur: "[Bloody Art: Kakuja Kagune]."
