King Arthur, Apprentice of Roger’s Company Chapter 022

Creak!

Clap!

Clap!

The door opened, and Arthur entered the room with the treasure chest. He then directly opened the treasure chest, and sure enough, five Devil Fruits were neatly arranged inside. This was because his “Three-No System” needed to absorb Devil Fruits to gain energy for card draws.

Precisely because of this.

His “Three-No System” could directly sense Devil Fruits whenever they appeared within a certain range!

“Five Devil Fruits?”

“This…”

Arthur couldn’t help but be stunned. When Captain Roger handed him the treasure chest, he already knew what was inside, but he didn’t expect there to be a full five Devil Fruits. This number was indeed a bit too much.

Arthur picked up the note in the treasure chest.

Hahahaha~~~

Arthur, kid! I know you’re collecting Devil Fruits. Although I don’t know why you’re collecting them, you’re already ten years old this year! This is a gift from me, your captain, a total of five Devil Fruits.

“Captain Roger…”

“He really is…”

Arthur smiled, shaking his head with a chuckle. These matters clearly had nothing to do with Captain Roger!

Five Devil Fruits?!

Some people might think, “Isn’t that just 500 million Berries in the black market? It’s not expensive!”

Indeed!

It doesn’t seem expensive, but if you think about it, does anyone really buy Devil Fruits in the black market? Devil Fruits are either given out by various pirate crews and major powers, or they are found by chance. Do Devil Fruits really exist for sale in the black market?

Actually, yes! But they are extremely rare, because almost no one would sell a Devil Fruit. No matter how weak the Devil Fruit, as long as it’s eaten and then cultivated a bit, it becomes a decent elite!

Why would I sell it?

Precisely because of this!

Although Devil Fruits in the black market are priced at 100 million Berries, the actual transaction price is at least 300 million to 500 million Berries, and even then, there’s a price but no market. It can be said that even the Roger Pirates, as one of the three legendary pirate crews of the sea.

However!

The situation with the Roger Pirates is something those who know, know. They’re really not rich, and Devil Fruits aren’t something you can get just with money.

“It really is!”

With a sigh of emotion, Arthur smiled and shook his head, not saying much. Some things don’t need to be spoken; keeping them in one’s heart is enough.

“Roar!”

A faint dragon’s roar instantly resounded, and the phantom of a red dragon appeared behind Arthur, devouring all five Devil Fruits in one go.

“Phew~~~”

Exhaling a slight breath, Arthur checked himself, and after confirming everything was fine, he walked out of the room. There was still a banquet to attend.

Similarly!

Bullet and Buggy also received their gifts.

Buggy received a treasure map. This was a treasure map from a very powerful pirate from 200 years ago. For Buggy, who loved treasures, this was simply the most exciting gift!

As for Bullet…

Bullet’s gift was actually very simple, even to the point of being overly simple compared to Arthur and Buggy’s gifts: a very simple new set of clothes and a dagger. Yet, such a simple gift held the greatest significance for Bullet.

A new set of clothes.

A new dagger.

This!

For Bullet, it truly represented a brand new beginning in life. It could be said that under Arthur’s influence, Bullet’s inner self had changed. This butterfly brought about a huge impact.

Clap!

Clap!

“Mr. Rayleigh?”

Arthur had just stepped out of the cabin and saw Mr. Rayleigh standing by. As soon as he came out, Rayleigh tossed him a bottle of beer. Without ceremony, Arthur took the beer, opened it, and chugged it down. Are you kidding? As someone with the Red Dragon bloodline, even though he was only ten years old, drinking was a small matter!

“Arthur…”

Rayleigh looked at Arthur, seemingly silent. He didn’t know what to say.

“What’s wrong?”

Arthur was also a bit puzzled until he saw Captain Roger approaching from not far away with Shanks, and Shanks was wearing Captain Roger’s straw hat.

If he still didn’t know what was going on, that would be strange.

“Hehehe~~~”

Arthur chuckled lightly and said gently, “Mr. Rayleigh, you should know that for me, I’m actually not suitable to be Captain Roger’s successor. Captain Roger’s will doesn’t belong to me. I have my own ambitions, and that is my future!”

Clap!

Clenching his fist with one hand, Arthur seemed to grasp the entire world. At this moment, Arthur exuded endless confidence, a king’s confidence, which was the most impressive thing!

“Sigh!”

Looking at Arthur, Rayleigh also chuckled and shook his head, saying, “I just feel this isn’t fair to you! You are clearly the most outstanding child, yet the final outcome is still like this.”

Arthur smiled, “Mr. Rayleigh, what isn’t suitable for oneself will never be suitable.”

“Forget it!”

Looking at Arthur, Rayleigh didn’t say anything more. He had known from the beginning that Arthur had his own choices, but for Rayleigh, he had watched Arthur grow up and truly regarded Arthur as his own child.

And…

“Forget it!”

“Forget it!”

In the end, Rayleigh didn’t say anything more, only smiled, “Arthur, the banquet is about to begin. Let’s go.”

“No problem.”

“Mr. Rayleigh.”

Arthur also smiled, naturally knowing what Mr. Rayleigh meant.
