Vol. 04 Ch. 39 – Sparring

Hancock: "Arthur!" Hancock shouted seeing Arthur want to add women in its members.

Betty: "Then ... Have we met, trash?" Belo Betty who heard his name being called immediately opened the hood of his head showing his purple hair and lit a cigarette in his mouth.

Arthur: "Haha, this is the first time we've met, my name is Phantasm D. Arthur, nice to meet you. I'm interested in your abilities, so, do you want to join my crew? "

Robin: "Is that really what makes you interested in her, Arthur?" Robin crossed her arms on her chest and glanced at Arthur and Betty.

Arthur: "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't interested in her appearance, hehehe"

R.A: "How dare you tempt our commander of the East Army, Belo Betty-Sama. Fuck you, Art of Harem. " One member of the RA shouted followed by the other members.

R.A: "Yes, that's right, you already have Empress on your crew."

R.A: "Die, Art of Harem, very envious."

R.A: "Die Konoyaro."

Monet: "Hahaha, Art of Harem, Arthur, they want to kill you not because of a bounty prize on your head, but because they are jealous. Hahaha." Monet laughed at the RA members who were jealous of Arthur.

Dragon: "Cough ... forgive my men, we will leave immediately because it is not good if we stop long in one place." Dragon was a little embarrassed because of the attitude of his men.

Arthur: "All right, don't forget to contact me. Especially, Betty, if you get bored in R.A, you can join me anytime. " Arthur waved towards the Dragon ship which was getting further away and disappeared with the dark night.

Hancock: "If not them, who do you want to meet, Arthur?" Seeing RA has gone makes Hancock a little more relieved.

Arthur: "I want to test the ability of Law's sword technique in this village's Dojo."

Law: "Eh, me?" Law who just learned about Arthur's plan was a little surprised.

Arthur: "You always fight the same people all the time, so this is your chance to get more experience."

They walked towards Isshin Dojo where during the walk they caught the attention of all people who watched so that the whole village knew of the arrival of Arthur and the others. How not, the appearance of Arthur and the others are very attractive. Arthur who had white hair and wore white clothes, then Hancock, Robin, and Monet who had a very stunning figure, Ikaros as a new member was very striking because of the wings on her back and added with small children and white bears. While Baby-5 stayed on board to guard Sabo who was still unconscious. Arriving at Isshin Dojo, Arthur can hear the sound of a bamboo sword hitting the target practice. Feeling the arrival of Arthur and the others made the Dojo owner come out to greet them. An old man with black hair tied back in a long ponytail, his face contorted and wearing glasses with a circular frame appeared before Arthur and the others.

Arthur: "Excuse me, my name is Arthur and I want my crews to test their abilities here. So, I want to meet with the owner of this Dojo to ask for permission. "

Koushirou: "Welcome to Isshin Dojo, my name is Koushirou, the owner of this Dojo. I will gladly accept anyone who wants to hone his sword skills here, but because it is already late so you should return tomorrow morning. If you don't have a place to spend the night ... "Koushirou with a friendly smile welcomed them.

Arthur: "No need to bother, we have a place to spend the night. But I can still hear the sound of the bamboo sword so I think some students practice even at night. " Arthur pointed at the side yard covered in fences and plants.

Koushirou: "Ah, that's my daughter, Kuina who is training."

Arthur: "Ho ... your daughter is working so hard, she will definitely become a great swordsman."

Koushirou: "She is indeed a hard worker, but a woman will find it difficult to reach the top." Koushirou shook his head.

Hancock: "Oi ... I can not let your words to underestimate the figure of a woman." Hancock immediately stepped forward after hearing Koushirou's words.

Arthur: "Hancock, calm down." Arthur tried to calm Hancock but Robin also came forward.

Robin: "Arthur, I also do not accept the words of him who demean a woman." With the commotion at the entrance of the Dojo, the little girl who was practicing stopped and tried to see what was happening.

???: "Father, what is the commotion here? Did Zoro make a mess again? " A little girl with short dark blue hair appeared from inside the Dojo carrying a bamboo sword.

Koushirou: "Kuina? Nothing, just a little misunderstanding. One of them wants to try to hone their ability to use swords with sparring but because it is late it makes me ask them to return tomorrow morning. "

Arthur: "Sorry if I interfered, nice to meet you, my name is Arthur." Arthur then introduced himself and all his crew members.

Kuina: "Nice to meet you, my name is Kuina, if anyone wants to practice sparring, I'm ready to be the sparring opponent."

Hancock: "I like the look in her eyes. Arthur, invite her to join us rather than continue to be in the Dojo with an owner like him. " Hancock approached Kuina and bent to examine her more closely.

Koushirou: "Sorry, that's a little ..." Koushirou wanted to refuse gently but was confused about what to say after their dispute.

Kuina: "Who are you guys?" Curious Kuina asked Hancock.

Hancock: "We are what you call pirates." Seeing Kuina directly holding her bamboo sword with both hands getting ready in position made Hancock smile.

Robin: "If you haven't been able to judge your opponent's abilities then you still need more practice." Robin used her devil fruit ability so Kuina dropped her bamboo sword but didn't know how it happened.

Koushirou: "Forgive my daughter, she still doesn't know anything." Koushirou immediately took a bamboo sword from the floor and apologized to Arthur.

Arthur: "It's OK, I'm glad she has a sufficient level of vigilance. Hancock, Robin, don't be too serious to children. "

Monet: "Try saying that when training Sugar and the others, Hm." Monet quipped Arthur, who was always very serious when training Sugar and the others.

Arthur: "How am I not serious about their safety?"

Law: "Captain, so, am I going to fight this girl now or are we coming back tomorrow?" Law, who was accustomed to seeing the behavior of Arthur and his three womens, decided to ignore it.

Arthur: "It seems our conversation has gone far away from our purpose here. Our purpose here is to practice sparring to give my crew members experience against various opponents, we don't want to look for problems. So, can you do sparring now or want it tomorrow, Kuina? "
