King Arthur, Apprentice of Roger’s Company Chapter 066

“Roar!”

Roger and Newgate were met with deafening roars. Neither side hesitated, charging directly at each other. Smiles adorned everyone’s faces, and! There was only one goal: to defeat the opponent, win this war, and seize all their supplies.

“Oh roar!”

“Hahahaha~~~”

“Fight!”

“Awoo!”

Roars, growls, shouts, and loud laughter, all sorts of sounds converged, forming excited noises, and these figures had already begun to engage in battle.

Boom!

Boom!

Rumbling sounds instantly echoed in their ears, and figures rapidly collided. To be honest! Before truly fighting, Arthur always had a thought: the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates at this point in time shouldn’t be strong! After all, at this time, the future division captains of the Whitebeard Pirates probably hadn’t grown up yet.

However!

When they truly engaged, Arthur realized that the current Whitebeard Pirates had many terrifyingly strong monsters. These monsters were not only the future division captains but also the captains of the subsidiary pirate crews that would belong to the Whitebeard Pirates in the future. They were all members of the Whitebeard Pirates now, perhaps to become independent in the future, and there were also some figures who didn’t appear in the original work but were considerably older.

Arthur probably guessed that these people! If nothing unexpected happened, they were once members of the Rocks Pirates, and after the Rocks Pirates disbanded, these people joined various other pirate crews.

The Whitebeard Pirates, the Sky Pirates, the Five Peaks Pirates, the John Pirates, the Silver Axe Pirates, and! The Big Mom Pirates, and some others started their own ventures. However! The Sky Pirates definitely had the most members joining them.

The Sky Pirates soared to prominence by relying on the foundation they had inherited from the Rocks Pirates, and the Whitebeard Pirates also inherited many veterans. These people might retire or die in the future, but now! They were definitely the backbone of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Because of this!

Arthur understood what was going on with these people.

“So that’s how it is.”

Arthur secretly thought to himself, “Indeed! One cannot view this world with preconceived notions. This is a real world, and no one knows what lies beyond this reality, or rather! What exactly is going on.”

Regarding this point!

Arthur constantly reminded himself not to be careless. This was an undeniable fact. Any slightest carelessness! In this real world, he might truly have to pay with his life as the price. This was truly no joke, but a genuine, concrete fact! The reason? There was no need to say more!

“Whew~~~”

Exhaling a deep breath of stale air, Arthur subtly shifted his body, dodging the rapidly approaching attack. This figure was Vista.

“Hmph!”

The future Fifth Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Flower Sword Vista, curled his lips. Wielding two swords, he chuckled, “Arthur Pendragon! The monster known as the Lion of the Sea, and a mere pirate apprentice with a bounty of 1 billion, let me see how strong you truly are!”

“Strength, you say?”

Arthur raised his hand, having already drawn out the Sword of Promised Victory, and smiled, “Flower Sword Vista! You will pay with your life!”

“Life, huh?!”

“No matter!”

Vista’s smile remained intense, especially the feeling his smile gave off, it truly made one feel completely different! That kind of smile, the feeling it gave off, was truly distinct!

“A swordsman!”

Arthur also smiled. He had never encountered such a pure swordsman, and! Vista was a pure swordsman. Among the opponents he had encountered before, Gion was also a skilled sword user, but! Gion was a Marine first, then a swordsman, not a pure swordsman. In such a situation, she was inferior to Vista.

“Hehehe~~~”

Arthur chuckled, “This is my first time encountering a pure swordsman like you, Vista. Come on!”

“Of course!”

Vista also smiled, charging straight towards Arthur.

Swish!

Swish!

Crackling!

The two exchanged blows at a rapid pace, but! There was nothing else, only a pure clash of swordsmanship. Their swordsmanship displayed immense power. Pure swordsmanship competed on one’s understanding of the sword.

In this world!

Swordsmanship is divided into three types: Iron-cutting, Fire-cutting, and Non-cutting!

Iron-cutting sword can cut through any hard metal like gold, silver, or iron.

Fire-cutting sword can cut through natural phenomena like wind, fire, thunder, and lightning! All natural elements, to put it simply, everything within human cognition can be cut.

Non-cutting sword is the final level of swordsmanship. At this level, if one doesn’t want to cut, even a piece of paper cannot be cut.

And!

Arthur and Vista were both astonishing swordsmen. At this moment! They displayed immense power in their swordsmanship. The clash of pure swordsmanship brought great joy to both of them. That feeling was not a clash of strength, but a pure clash of swordsmanship.

Crackling!

Whoosh~~~

Arthur’s smile deepened, feeling his swordsmanship rapidly improving. Indeed! No matter the situation, facing a strong opponent was meaningless. Only facing an opponent who was truly evenly matched in certain pure aspects was the most interesting.

Vista’s strength?

Naturally, he was not as strong as himself!

However!

In terms of swordsmanship, he was only slightly superior to Vista. Their battle, on the other hand, yielded the greatest benefits. The more intense their battle became, the greater the gains for both of them!

Similarly!

Just as the two were fighting, the entire battlefield had also erupted in a massive battle. Amidst the fierce cannon fire and roaring sounds, the current battle seemed to be devouring everything.

Just…

A closer look would reveal that the battle between the Sky Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates felt more peaceful. That’s right! Although both sides were engaged, the overall fighting wasn’t a life-and-death struggle aimed at directly killing the opponent.

This situation wasn’t strange, though. The relationship between the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates was genuinely very good, especially Roger and Newgate, who were kindred spirits. They were like rival friends, which was indeed quite interesting.

Of course!

This also meant that the battles between the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates were more like sparring matches, rather than true life-and-death struggles like their deadly battles with the Sky Pirates.

Clap!

Clap!

Kozuki Oden and Jabba were engaged in battle. Their strengths were comparable, and the fight between dual swordsmanship and dual axes was incredibly fierce and terrifying. It looked! As if two black bears were colliding.

Each of them was facing their respective opponent. Shanks and Buggy, those two guys, actually directly targeted Newgate, wanting to take his head, but! They were immediately blocked and sent aside.

On the other side!

Bullet wanted to rampage, but what happened? He was directly surrounded by four powerful cadres, and! These four cadres all had defensive-type Devil Fruits. As a result! Bullet was unable to exert his strength and was forced to stand there, feeling utterly stifled.

Swish!

A blue figure shot straight towards Rayleigh. It was the young Marco, who transformed into a phoenix and chuckled, “Let me be your opponent!”

Only…

That claw was directly blocked by Rayleigh with a single finger. Rayleigh smiled, “Boy! You are still too naive. Go back and train hard!”

“Huh?!”

Marco was stunned. Clearly! At his young age, he had not yet experienced the baptism of such powerful experts. No matter how hard he tried, if he couldn’t witness even stronger experts, then! It would just be like looking at the sky from the bottom of a well, utterly meaningless.

Essentially!

The Whitebeard Pirates had astonishing potential. If they grew properly, the Whitebeard Pirates could grow to a strength no less than the current Roger Pirates, with true elite strength being no problem, rather than simply relying on numbers.

What a pity! (For exhilarating novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Newgate himself had a huge problem. He wanted to find his family, and when he found his family, he also protected his family! Because of this, the people of the Whitebeard Pirates were essentially daddy’s boys. Did they truly grow up? But! They only grew under Newgate’s protection. This kind of growth cannot be considered true growth at all!

“Hmph!”

Rayleigh smiled, continuing to mercilessly beat Marco. As an old man, he certainly didn’t mind giving a little guidance to a young lad like Marco, after all! He was very interested in teaching youngsters.

“…”

Roger and Newgate exchanged glances, a smile simultaneously spreading across their lips, and then both charged directly at each other. With astonishing momentum, they seemed intent on tearing each other apart. Their strengths were almost equal, and at this moment, the battle felt more like a sparring match, perhaps? After all! For these two, a life-and-death struggle seemed rather unlikely.

…

Three days and three nights!!!

This battle!

Finally!

It lasted for a full three days and three nights, but! It was not over yet, and after various rotations, the battle continued, after all! Such a battle lasted long enough.

“Vista!”

Arthur looked at Vista and chuckled, “You’re awake?”

“Hmph!”

Vista rubbed his head, letting out a muffled groan, and looked at Arthur, shaking his head, “Arthur! You really don’t hold back!”

“Damn it…”

Vista directly fainted. He fought Arthur for about three hours, and as a result! He was completely overwhelmed in terms of swordsmanship, physical combat, and Haki. In one breath, Vista directly fainted, then slept for three days and three nights before just waking up…

During these three days, Arthur fought against various strong individuals from the Whitebeard Pirates, battling during the day and resting at night. Both pirate crews did the same, rotating their members to fight. In fact! Normally, this is what true warfare is like, fighting in rotations while ensuring rest.

As for the Summit War? That battlefield clearly had problems! Or rather, the strengths were simply not equal. The Whitebeard Pirates trying to assault Marine Headquarters by themselves was inherently problematic.

Sengoku and Garp were slacking off the entire time, Zephyr wasn’t even there, Gion and Kaji didn’t make a move, and besides Akainu fighting with all his might, Aokiji and Kizaru were just watching the show.

In addition!

The Seven Warlords of the Sea were basically just bystanders. To put it plainly! It was just Akainu leading a group of Marine Vice Admirals and Marine soldiers to confront the Whitebeard Pirates head-on, and yet! They still won, even with Luffy and those guys causing trouble. So, the Whitebeard Pirates’ strength truly had issues, unless! Newgate himself could understand this principle.

Otherwise?!

It would always be meaningless, and it would be impossible to achieve true strength improvement and growth.

“Arthur!”

“Hmm?!”

Battles were occurring all over the island, and standing beneath a large tree, Shanks and Buggy called out to Arthur.

Arthur walked over step by step and asked, “Shanks, Buggy, what’s wrong?”

“Arthur!”

“Arthur!”

“Look, do you see that guy?”

Buggy’s eyes flickered, and Arthur looked over. Hmm! A very ugly kid, but! The next moment, Arthur reacted. This was Marshall D. Teach! The one who endured for twenty-odd years, and in the future could be said to have personally destroyed the Whitebeard Pirates, absorbed the Dark-Dark Fruit, defeated Wang Zhi, seized Hachinosu, and became one of the new Four Emperors of the sea: Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach.

However!

Although Arthur recognized him, he wasn’t particularly concerned. Please! What did this have to do with him? The situation of the Whitebeard Pirates also had nothing to do with him, so he naturally wouldn’t get involved.

Arthur still nodded and said, “I saw him, what about him?”

“That guy hasn’t slept for three days and three nights.”

“Hmm?!”

Hearing this, Shanks was instead very puzzled, “He hasn’t slept for three days and three nights already?”

“Yes!”

Buggy nodded seriously, and said very unhappily, “I really can’t stand that guy. That guy! He’s really annoying!”

Clap!

Clap!

Bullet also walked over at this time. During the three days and three nights of battle, he was quite frustrated, being watched so closely! Bullet was almost fuming with anger. And just as he walked over, he heard Shanks and Buggy’s conversation.

Bullet also stopped, and asked curiously, “You’re talking about that guy, huh? Indeed! That guy seems to be on the battlefield all the time, it feels very strange.”

“I have to say!”

Shanks also said seriously, “I’m also very annoyed by that guy! That guy just feels very annoying, I really despise him!”

“Exactly!”

Arthur watched this scene, also finding it quite interesting. He had to admit, fate was truly fascinating! Shanks and Buggy, both of them looked at Teach with great displeasure, as if they couldn’t stand him.

However!

At this moment, Bullet was also rubbing his chin, pondering, “Don’t even mention it! That guy really is annoying to look at. I also think that guy really looks uncomfortable!”

“…”

Arthur was stunned, listening to Bullet’s words, he also looked at Teach, but! To be honest, after a look, Arthur also nodded in agreement, “This person really is annoying to look at.”

Arthur, Bullet, Shanks, and Buggy, the four of them looked at Teach. This person truly gave off a feeling of annoyance.

However!

Arthur didn’t dwell on this point, but instead raised a very curious question, saying, “Buggy, how do you know he hasn’t slept for three days and three nights?”

Buggy replied without hesitation, “Of course I’ve been watching him for three days and three nights!”
