King Arthur, Apprentice of Roger’s Company Chapter 017

Douglas Barrett!

Ghost!

This was his title, coming from the ‘Endless War Nation.’ He fought with all his might, yet was still betrayed by his comrades. From that moment, he destroyed his country, annihilated his army, and was subsequently hunted by the World Government.

Precisely because of this!

Barrett became a madman. All he wanted to do was challenge the strong, gradually becoming stronger, and becoming the most powerful monster in the world.

And as such, he had no clear conviction in his heart; all he wanted was to challenge, step by step, one monster after another.

“Gol D. Roger!”

“Hahaha~~~”

Barrett excitedly said, “I finally found you! Come on! Let’s fight! Let me kill you!”

“…”

Roger just quietly looked at Barrett, his eyes filled with calmness. After a moment, he said, “Arthur, do you have confidence in defeating him?”

“Huh?!”

Arthur was stunned. He had been watching the show, but now he was unexpectedly dragged into it.

Honestly!

Arthur agreed with Barrett’s strength. Barrett was very strong, but! That was the Barrett who had been imprisoned in Impel Down for twenty years, which was tough.

The current Barrett?

Arthur’s response was two words: “Hehe~~~”

No joke!

It was a genuine “Hehe.” Those two words were enough. Barrett was rumored to be equal to Rayleigh in the Roger Pirates, aside from Roger himself. Wasn’t that just nonsense?

Rayleigh and Jabba’s strengths were evenly matched, and there were many other skilled fighters.

But what was the result?!

Barrett, who was boasted to be so powerful, after leaving the Roger Pirates, ended up in a draw with a rookie like Crocodile?

To put it bluntly!

The Roger Pirates mostly didn’t want to discourage Barrett. For Barrett, failure was almost fatal. Having a goal to pursue was enough; anything more would only crush Barrett’s spirit and cause him problems.

To put it even simpler, everyone in the Roger Pirates was just playing along with Barrett.

“Arthur?!”

Roger turned his head, looked at Arthur, and smiled, “Kid, do you have confidence?”

“Hehehe~~~”

“Captain Roger.”

“No problem.”

Arthur smiled, without any hesitation. Since that was the case, he would give it a try. With a purer Red Dragon bloodline and the first seal of the Sword of Promised Victory unlocked, what was his current strength like?

He was 9 years old.

Barrett was 15 years old.

Let’s give it a try!

However!

Even though he was just trying, Arthur carried a determination to win, moving forward fearlessly! Never admitting defeat! No matter when, as long as he was involved in a fight, he would steadfastly see it through. Arthur could accept failure, but he didn’t want to fail.

“Hahaha~~~”

“No problem!”

Roger gave a thumbs-up, then turned his head and said, “Kid, if you want to challenge me, then defeat my apprentice pirate!”

“Apprentice pirate?”

“I’ll kill you!”

Barrett’s eyes held only terrifying killing intent. He leaped forward, charging straight at Arthur, his fists turning black, smashing down from above.

Only!

Boom!!!

An astonishing scene unfolded. Compared to the towering, monstrous Barrett, Arthur’s slender body clenched both fists, similarly wrapped in Armament Haki, and met the attack.

As a deafening roar echoed, two people, four hands, where their fists collided, streaks of dark purple lightning formed, and the two seemed to be evenly matched.

“What astonishing power!”

A voice seemed to carry a hint of emotion, but the next moment, Arthur’s arm muscles swelled inch by inch, faint crimson light flickering, and even more terrifying power burst forth from Arthur’s body.

“Roar!”

The faint roar of a red dragon was heard, and Arthur’s terrifying punch directly sent Barrett flying.

“How is that possible?!”

Barrett’s eyes widened in disbelief. In mid-air, he sharply turned around and landed on his small boat, his eyes filled with incredulity.

Impossible!

Impossible!

Barrett couldn’t even accept it. Since setting sail, in this past year, his strength had been absolutely formidable. No opponent had been able to stand against him.

But what was the result?

He faced the Roger Pirates, and in his opinion, apart from Captain Roger, everyone else was insignificant. Yet! The ultimate result was that he was punched away by Arthur, an apprentice pirate.

This was something he absolutely could not accept!

“Hahaha~~~”

Watching this scene, Roger laughed heartily, “Kid! Do you accept this fight? Oh right! If you lose, from today onwards, you’ll be an apprentice pirate of the Roger Pirates. If you win against Arthur, I’ll give you a chance to challenge me.”

“Do you accept?”

“Of course I accept!”

Barrett’s aura became even more terrifying. His entire body exuded an incredibly dreadful aura, and he looked like a terrifying demon, frantically saying, “No one can stop me! No one can stop me!”

“Sigh!”

Arthur shook his head helplessly and said, “Captain Roger, he has psychological issues.”

Roger smiled and nodded, “Of course I know he has psychological issues, but he’s an excellent kid after all. Arthur, help him out!”

“Alright!”

“But, it’ll cost extra!”

“No problem!”

“Hahaha~~~”

Listening to Arthur and Roger’s joking conversation, everyone couldn’t help but burst into laughter. However! They also found it very interesting. Barrett was definitely the most outstanding monster among the youngsters on the sea.

And Arthur’s talent, they had watched him grow up, was absolutely undeniable. What would the final result be?
