Undeniable!

The end of the Battle of Edd War indeed shook the entire world, but! Compared to the victory of the Roger Pirates, what everyone paid more attention to were these two brats, and besides that, everyone’s main focus was on Arthur.

In this battle, the strength Arthur displayed, especially! Arthur’s astonishing talent and abilities were what truly shocked people. This kid was only 12 years old. What if Arthur were to grow up? How outstanding would he be?

Evidently!

Many people were pondering this question, and Big Mom was a typical example. She was a madwoman, but! No one would genuinely think that someone who could become a Yonko in the future would be an idiot, right? That was impossible! Big Mom knew very well that with the existence of the Roger Pirates, trying to kill or forcefully abduct Arthur and Bullet was unrealistic. The best method would be a marriage alliance. It definitely couldn’t be with herself, as that would be too embarrassing.

Of course!

Arthur was unaware of the outside world’s situation, and even if he knew? Apologies! He still wasn’t interested. Arthur’s ambition was different from these, even to say, his heart wasn’t set on them. Naturally, he didn’t particularly care about these things. Many aspects were completely different.

Oro Jackson!

“Hoo~~~”

“Hoo~~~”

Exhaling deeply, Arthur’s expression was very serious. As his strength increased repeatedly, the difficulty of his training also became more terrifying. Although he was simply swinging his sword, every swing made his muscles tremble as if they were about to tear apart. This was his training, extremely terrifying.

Such training would allow Arthur’s strength to improve even further, and it would also enable him to unleash the Red Dragon Bloodline more perfectly and outstandingly. And this! This was the most important thing. Combining the two, only by fully unleashing the Red Dragon Bloodline was it truly important.

This was his most important trump card. Even Excalibur was just a weapon! But the Red Dragon Bloodline, this was his own power. He had to perfectly unleash his power, and that was the most crucial thing.

Clang!

Clang!

This terrifying training lasted for a full three hours before Arthur slowly put down his greatsword and removed the weights from his body. At this moment! He finally let out a long sigh, wiping the sweat from his forehead. Every muscle on his body, upon closer inspection, had turned completely crimson.

That was caused by severe hyperemia. If he were to continue, his muscles would directly tear, and blood would flow out. Such a result, presumably, would be unacceptable to many.

“Hoo~~~”

Arthur let out a long breath, feeling the intense pain in his body, and secretly thought, “Indeed! As the Red Dragon Bloodline improves, the more it’s developed, the more difficult it becomes. It’s truly hard to improve the Red Dragon’s body!”

Name: Arthur Pendragon

Noble Phantasms: Sword of Promised Victory (Second Seal Released), Rhongomyniad (Unactivated), Avalon (Unactivated)

Bloodline: Red Dragon Bloodline ( 35%), Island Power (Unawakened)

Knights of the Round Table: —

Britain: —

Chalk Castle: —

Haki: Conqueror’s Haki (Intermediate), Armament Haki (Intermediate), Observation Haki (Intermediate)

Arthur looked at his status panel. After the Battle of Edd War, his Red Dragon Bloodline had increased by another 5%. However, he knew very well that further improvement would become truly more and more difficult, even to say! It would be almost impossible to improve simply through training and combat. Instead, he would have to experience life and death to develop it step by step.

Secondly!

His three types of Haki had all broken through the elementary level and reached the intermediate level. This was also a level of improvement. Overall! Arthur’s current overall strength meant that ordinary Marine Vice Admirals were basically easy pickings. However! In terms of age, he had indeed reached a bottleneck. Coupled with the Red Dragon Bloodline reaching a bottleneck, he would need to train even harder for a long time, improving step by step.

This was an extremely important point. Arthur was even more aware that at his age, a lack of improvement in strength meant regression. If he were to relax, his strength would not only fail to improve but would even decline. Only by consolidating! Working hard! And improving! This was the way to continue raising his strength.

Precisely because of this!

Arthur never relaxed, because he knew very well that relaxation would only make him weaker. And if he wanted to become stronger, he needed to work even harder, moving forward step by step.

“Arthur.”

“Mr. Rayleigh!”

Arthur wiped his sweat and smiled as he looked at Mr. Rayleigh approaching. “What’s wrong?”

“Mmm!”

Rayleigh looked at Arthur and, hearing his question, shook his head and continued, “Arthur! You need to relax a bit. Relaxation with moderation can allow you to improve better.”

Arthur was startled, then said, “Is it about my body? On that point, I think…”

“No!”

Rayleigh interrupted Arthur, saying seriously, “Arthur, I know very well that your body is actually very special. Its recovery power! Defensive power! And the strength it brings, in all aspects, are like a monster. For you, such fatigue might not be much.”

“But!”

Rayleigh said very seriously, “Arthur, your body can bear it, but can your mind truly bear it? I know you are a very mature child, but! Inner fatigue accumulates little by little. If you don’t relax, you will accumulate it forever. For you, when it truly erupts, that will be the most troublesome thing.”

“Mind?”

“I understand.”

Arthur mumbled the words, then nodded and said, “Mr. Rayleigh, thank you for your reminder. I will pay attention to this. If there’s really a problem, I will rest and let myself relax.”

“Mmm!”

Rayleigh looked at Arthur, who understood with just a few words, and smiled, nodding, “Arthur! It’s good that you understand. The future belongs to you all, and your growth isn’t just in this short period. You need to look further ahead and proceed step by step.”

“Hehehe~~~”

Arthur smiled, “Mr. Rayleigh, don’t worry. I’m not that kind of person. I understand.”

“Mmm!”

Rayleigh looked at Arthur gently. He truly valued Arthur, treating him like his own child. And with the end of the Battle of Edd War, Arthur was still diligently improving himself repeatedly.

This!

This was actually not a good thing. At the very least, for Arthur, he needed to rest a bit. Otherwise! His mind would always be in a state of tension, and what if he couldn’t hold on? This was a very significant problem!

Actually!

Regarding these matters, after Arthur learned about them, he naturally understood. To be honest! Arthur only lived to his twenties in his previous life, and in this life, he was only twelve years old. Even if he gradually inherited the legacy of King Arthur, still…

Ugh…

Do you expect this holy! Perfect! King he inherited to give him any useful memories or mental maturity? Don’t be ridiculous! Arthur’s age, when calculated, was at most that of a twenty-something youth. He understood many things, but to truly see through them, he still needed the guidance of his elders.

Now?! Rayleigh was already 51 years old. At that age, he truly understood more than himself. The older one was, the more one naturally understood. Absorbing more experience from elders was not a bad thing; it would allow him to grow faster.

After understanding this, Arthur was ready to formulate his plan. For the next month, his training would be reduced by about a third, and he would have more rest. Study time would also be slightly reduced. Overall! He would allow himself to relax a bit, enjoy life, and relax his mind. This was very important.

“Hoo~~~”

Exhaling deeply, a month had passed. Arthur sat cross-legged on the deck, quietly fishing. He was not only cultivating his mind and spirit but also meditating and fishing. Overall, it was hitting three birds with one stone.

“Arthur!”

“Arthur!”

Suddenly, deafening shouts echoed in his ears. Arthur turned slightly, and Buggy, who was running uncontrollably, almost fell straight down.

Slap!

At this moment, Arthur grabbed Buggy by the lower back and pulled him up, smiling, “Buggy, don’t be so reckless! What’s wrong? Did you find the treasure from the treasure map Captain Roger gave you, or something else?”

“Hoo~~~”

Buggy was pulled up and let out a long breath, saying, “I haven’t found the treasure from Captain Roger’s map, but! During yesterday’s battle, I indeed found a new treasure map! I checked some资料, and it’s said to be a treasure map from a great pirate 100 years ago.”

“Hehehe~~~” (For awesome novels, check out Feilu Novel Network!)

Arthur chuckled, “Congratulations.”

“Then look!”

Buggy was absolutely thrilled. He now held two treasure maps in his hand. Later! When the Roger Pirates disbanded, he could use the treasure from these two maps to form his own powerful pirate crew. At that time, he could search for more treasure, form a larger pirate crew, search for more treasure, form an even larger pirate crew, creating a virtuous cycle…

“Oh, right!”

“Oh, right!”

Buggy suddenly reacted, slapping his head, “I didn’t come here for that! Your new bounty poster is out?!”

“Bounty poster?!”

Arthur was stunned, surprised, “It’s been a month already, and my bounty poster just appeared?”

Arthur was genuinely bewildered by this situation. Generally speaking! New Marine bounty posters would appear within about seven days. This time, it had been almost a month?

The Battle of Edd War!

A full month had passed, and honestly! The Marines had made no moves whatsoever. Arthur thought they might have suppressed this massive war directly, so as not to cause too much unrest or increase the Roger Pirates’ prestige.

However!

After a month, his bounty poster appeared?! This situation was truly unexpected. Was this not a little strange?

“Let’s go!”

“Let’s go!”

Buggy pulled Arthur and ran to the other side, where Bullet, Shanks, Captain Roger, Mr. Rayleigh, Mr. Gaban, Sunbell, Sical, and many others were gathered, looking at the bounty posters in their hands.

“Arthur kid!”

“You’re here!”

Sical greeted him boisterously. Arthur nodded and asked, “Mr. Sical, is it my bounty poster?”

Sunbell nodded and said, “Indeed, Arthur kid, no! All four of your bounty posters. But it’s also quite strange. It’s been a full month since the Battle of Edd War ended, and the bounty posters are only just appearing now.”

“Hmm?!”

Hearing Sunbell’s words, everyone nodded. It was indeed very strange that the bounty posters were only released after a month!

“It’s not strange.”

Rayleigh said softly, “After the Battle of Edd War, we defeated the Golden Lion Pirates, and our reputation has reached its peak. Moreover! We are searching for the legendary Laugh Tale. If we truly find it, with our reputation, we will become the legendary Pirate King. The Marines cannot allow such a situation to occur; they will certainly suppress our reputation.”

“However…”

“Arthur, Bullet, Shanks, and Buggy, these four little ones, their strength has been improving repeatedly. If they weren’t given bounties, it wouldn’t increase their perceived danger.”

“Mmm!”

Hearing Rayleigh’s explanation, everyone nodded. Indeed, that was probably how things were! However, everyone still felt it was a bit outrageous, to say the least. It could only be said that it was truly quite awkward; the Marines were truly making people feel helpless!

“What’s the bounty?”

Arthur wasn’t too interested in these things but smiled as he asked about his bounty. If possible, he actually didn’t want his bounty to keep increasing, after all, he didn’t really want to be a pirate in the future. However! If it increased, it increased; it was also an acknowledgment of himself.

“Take a look.”

Rayleigh handed the bounty posters to the four of them respectively.

Buggy the Clown!

Bounty: 320, 000, 000 Berries.

Description: Roger Pirates Apprentice.

Red-Haired Shanks!

Bounty: 330, 000, 000 Berries.

Description: Roger Pirates Apprentice.

Demon Heir: Douglas Bullet!

Bounty: 890, 000, 000 Berries.

Description: Roger Pirates Apprentice.

Buggy, Shanks, and Bullet, each of their bounties had seen a very significant increase, especially Bullet, whose bounty almost reached 900 million Berries in one go. This bounty was actually quite terrifying.

However!

Thinking about it a little, it was understandable. Although Bullet was an apprentice pirate, his strength was truly outstanding. As a pirate with the level of a respectable Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, and not a weak one at that, a bounty of around 1 billion Berries was actually not surprising!

Don’t think that Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals are worthless. Cracker! Jack! These slightly weaker three top executives of a Yonko pirate crew are basically just stronger Headquarters Vice Admirals. So, this bounty is not surprising at all.

Finally…

Everyone looked at Arthur, curious about what his bounty would be.

Lion: Arthur Pendragon!!!

Bounty: 1, 000, 000, 000 Berries!!!

Description: Roger Pirates Apprentice, extremely dangerous great pirate, possesses a special Devil Fruit, or a special destructive weapon.

This was the bounty poster issued by the Marines. Although they had probably guessed it by looking at Bullet’s bounty poster, they were still mostly bewildered.

Good heavens!

This was a 1 billion Berries bounty! Arthur, regardless of whether his strength was sufficient, was just an apprentice pirate?! Was this bounty for an apprentice pirate not a bit too high?

This was something no one had ever expected, and they certainly hadn’t expected Arthur’s bounty to directly double!
