Vol. 01 Ch. 07 - ”Alpha” pirate

Previously...

Arthur: "Grandpa, nothing is interesting here so I just took this ring. But I want the devil fruit that is on this page of the devil fruit encyclopedia."

Arthur wore the ring as a necklace pendant because the ring was still too big for his fingers. And he immediately ran out to play after giving the devil fruit encyclopedia to his grandfather.

Saint Adam: "I must immediately contact fleet admiral Kong to command the entire marine to find this devil fruit. The last user was seen 200 years ago, but if there is currently a user, Fleet Admiral Kong can kill the user and look for this demon fruit until he can."

...

Sebas: "I will make a training menu and diet to support young master Arthur's training, but young master Arthur must ask Saint Adam to prepare the Sea King meat that young master Arthur will consume every day."

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

More than 1 year since Arthur started training with Sebas. Sebas's training menu only has 1 set of exercises but must be done 4 times. Before and after breakfast followed when before and after eating lunch. The time between breakfast and lunch is time for Maria to train Arthur about manners. Starting from how to walk, manners at the dining table, dancing and playing musical instruments.

The training menu provided by Sebas is push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, squats jump 5 times, run 1 km and swim 100 meters for each set. In the evening before dinner, Arthur will do yoga movements to make his muscles more balanced. After dinner, Arthur continue with meditation for 3 hours. And all of Arthur's food now was replaced with Sea King meat which was full of energy. That's all the training menu Sebas gave Arthur, and he did it without the need for supervision from Sebas. And because of all the exercises he did, in the first 3 months, Arthur was able to feel the changes experienced in his body.

And after finishing the afternoon training, while waiting for dinner, Arthur spent his time in the library reading all the books there were. Sebas also began to teach basic education to Arthur, but Arthur could easily master it until advanced level. Arthur's days went according to his training schedule, but that also made Maria feel worried. Arthur does not have a single friend in Mary Geoise.

In the middle of Arthur's training, he had fallen and hit his head make blood began to drip from his forehead, Sebas immediately ran to check Arthur's condition. Fortunately, it was only a scratch and not too deep because the impact was not hard. But at that moment the blood from his forehead was dripping right on the ring he was wearing as a pendant necklace around his neck make something surprising happened. Arthur still did not realize it even though his ring shined 7 colors, so did Sebas not realize because Sebas was too focused on Arthur's injuries.

-------? _? -------

Saint Adam: "Arthur, happy fourth birthday. This is a gift from grandfather." Saint Adam pulled out a small box as large as his grip that looked very luxurious to the table in front of Arthur.

Arthur: "Thank you, grandpa."

Arthur hugged his grandfather and immediately reach towards his gift box. He slowly opened the box and Arthur could see a small lychee with seven colors and had a white swirl line. It turns out that the devil fruit that Arthur wanted so far was only as big as a thumb. Seeing the devil fruit Arthur immediately jumped hugged his grandfather and gave a kiss on his grandfather's cheek. Arthur ran to bring the devil fruit into his room and did not forget to shout to thank him with a broad smile on his face.

Arthur: "Thank you, Grandpa, I love Grandpa."

Saint Adam: "You see that Maria, he kissed me and said to love me. How about you, Maria?" Saint Adam asked his daughter so proudly that it upset Maria to follow Arthur to his room.

Saint Adam: "Hahaha."

Arthur was very happy to get the devil fruit he wanted, but hearing the advice from Sebas, Arthur decided to eat the devil fruit when he was 7 years old and focused more on basic training for now. After saving his devil fruit, Arthur heard the door knocking.

*Tok Tok Tok*

Arthur: "Please enter." The door opened, Maria entered and sat in front of Arthur.

Arthur: "Mother, what's up? Is there something that mother wants to talk about?"

Maria: "Hm... this is about your father." Maria noded answered Arthur's question.

Hearing the answer from his mother, Arthur did not know what to say. Arthur once asked Sebas about his father's identity, but Sebas only answered that when it was the right time then Maria would explain his father's identity. Arthur saw his mother's eyes that looked sad when he said about his father.

Maria: "Before I told you about your father, mother should tell you about the time mother fled from Mary Geoise and adventure on the free seas."

(Maria's POV)

My mother died while giving birth to me so I was raised by my father alone. And as I grew up I began to find out about Tenryuubito and the World Government. Of course, I am very proud of my identity, I am the leader, a descendant of the founder of the system that exists in this world. But the more I grew up the more disgusted I saw the behavior of the other Tenryuubitos.

Tenryuubito is the leader of the world government, and the residents are citizens of the world government. Without the citizens hence no point in being the leader of the world government, but the Tenryuubito consider their citizens to be inferior to animals. I tried to oppose and change their mindset but instead, I became the despicable one, so I decided to get away from Mary Geoise. With the ability of the kinesis-kinesis devil fruit, I could drift down from the red line.

And when I traveled to the free sea, I met my husband, Phantasm D Alpha. We traveled with the crew of the Alpha pirate ship until I became pregnant with his child. The happy days did not last long, because who knows where it came from, dozens of marine ships surrounded our ship. They must have been ordered to arrest me and take me home to Mary Geoise. When I tried to save my husband, I felt a punch in the back of my neck that made me unconscious. And when I woke up, I was already in the Sabaody Archipelago along with the marine who wanted to take me back to Mary Geoise. And since that time I have never seen and heard again about the Alpha Pirates, my father also never wanted to discuss it. I was very sad and depressed, but Sebas the head butler reminded me of my child's health. Only my son gave me the spirit of life, and I was very proud to see my son Arthur, grow up to be a genius but worried because he spent more time in the library without hanging out.

(End of Maria's POV)

Maria: "And what made me tell you this was because I saw the ring on your necklace, Arthur." Maria points to Arthur's chest which makes him take out the ring.

Maria: "He never told me where he got it, but I know he never let it go. When I wake up in the archipelago Sabaody, the ring was in the bag but the father snatched me when we meet again.
