King Arthur, Apprentice of Roger’s Company Chapter 068

The war was won!

However.

The Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates truly had a good relationship. After achieving victory, the two sides, instead, happily exchanged gifts and supplies. Such a scene was very rare among pirates.

At the same time!

Roger, Rayleigh, Jabba, Newgate, and Kozuki Oden were chatting on an island covered in cherry blossoms. Although Arthur didn’t participate, he knew what they were talking about.

“Hmm~~~”

Standing at the edge of the island, leaning against a giant tree, Arthur gazed quietly into the distance, seemingly lost in thought.

“Arthur!”

“Arthur!”

“What are you doing here, you guy?”

Along with loud shouts, Shanks and Buggy had already found him. At the same time, Marco, Jozu, and Vista had also followed, looking at Arthur.

Arthur looked at the five of them and asked, “How did you guys find your way over here? And! Just now, you were fighting to the death, and now you’re like friends. Is that really okay?”

“Hahahaha~~~”

Listening to Arthur’s teasing, Vista laughed carelessly, “What’s wrong with that? Just now we were opponents, now we are just friends at a banquet, so naturally, there’s no need to care.”

“However!”

“Arthur, what are you doing here?”

Vista also asked curiously. There’s a saying that goes, “No discord, no concord.” Arthur and Vista had fought during their encounter, and now their relationship seemed pretty good. Well, it wasn’t surprising, after all, they sparred in swordsmanship and both grew stronger, so of course, their relationship was good.

Arthur leaned against the giant tree, gazing at the distant azure sea, and calmly said, “Nothing, I’m just looking at the distant sea. What are you guys doing here?”

“Hahahaha~~~”

Shanks laughed heartily, “We just came to see you! Barrett went back to rest, and everyone else is exchanging gifts and preparing for the banquet, so we came to see you. But! Arthur, you should go take a look too, what are you doing here by yourself?”

“Here by myself, huh…”

Arthur murmured the words, and finally, he shook his head. Arthur didn’t say anything more, just stood up and smiled, “If that’s the case, then let’s go. Let’s go back and see.”

“Alright!”

Hearing Arthur’s words, smiles appeared on everyone’s faces. The group of six headed towards the depths of the island, where a banquet was being prepared.

No matter what!

Whatever the future holds, for now! The relationship between the six of them is still quite good. They can be called simple friends. Although the future relationship is uncertain, for now! This is already enough. At the very least, this is enough.

Precisely because of this!

No matter what the future holds, at the very least! As long as the relationship is like this now, then maintaining and stabilizing the present is enough. Future matters will be dealt with in the future. For now, they are here, looking at the future, but also grasping the present. No matter when! This is a very important matter!

…

The banquet!

It always ended very quickly. The banquet lasted for nearly a whole day, and finally, both sides had to part ways. However, Newgate looked quite annoyed, even glaring at Roger.

“Hmm~~~”

Arthur looked at Newgate’s hand gripping the Murakumogiri and pondered, “Mr. Rayleigh, I always feel that Whitebeard is going to cut Captain Roger with one stroke.”

“???”

“Hahahaha~~~”

Rayleigh and Jabba couldn’t help but laugh, and Jabba laughed heartily, “Not surprising! Not surprising! After all, Roger, that guy, really made people angry this time! He actually chose to poach someone from the Whitebeard Pirates. For Whitebeard, who cherishes his family, that’s naturally very displeasing!”

“Indeed!”

Rayleigh also drew out his words, a strong smile on the corner of his mouth. Watching this scene, Arthur just shook his head and didn’t say much. Clearly, fate was still developing along its original trajectory, but this had nothing to do with him.

However!

Arthur was very clear that in one year, at most one year, the Roger Pirates would come to a complete end and disband. Because of this, he had to work even harder. He was already 13 years old, and in one year he would be 14. It was time for him to set foot on this dangerous sea! He must not hesitate at all. This dangerous sea allowed no carelessness.

However!

After a windfall at the Sabaody Archipelago, Arthur was now quite rich and powerful. He just needed to develop well in the future. As long as he had the confidence, wouldn’t these things be minor matters?

“Hahahaha~~~”

Just as Arthur was pondering, Roger burst out laughing, “Whitebeard! Don’t be so angry! Didn’t I already say? Just one year! I’ll just borrow Oden for one year, and Oden agreed!”

“Yes!”

“Whitey!”

Kozuki Oden also laughed heartily, “It’s just for a year! Don’t get too angry!”

“Hmph!”

Newgate listened to Roger and Kozuki Oden’s words, snorting in anger, his nose not a nose and his eyes not eyes. His whole being was flashing with terrifying rage. Finally, he was too lazy to say anything, turning around and walking away into the distance. He really couldn’t be bothered to say anything to these two guys.

“Heeheehee~~~”

“Hahahaha~~~”

Roger and Kozuki Oden exchanged glances, both bursting into uncontrollable laughter. Undeniably! Compared to Newgate’s personality, Kozuki Oden’s personality was more similar to Roger’s.

Of course!

This wasn’t surprising. If Roger didn’t have such a personality, Kozuki Oden wouldn’t have acknowledged him. It wasn’t strange; their personalities were just that similar, and precisely because of this similarity, it ended up like this, didn’t it?

Just like that!

Roger brought the borrowed Kozuki Oden back to the Roger Pirates. Following him were Kozuki Oden’s wife, Kozuki Toki, and the two-year-old future pervert, who was also the future new Shogun of Wano Country, Kozuki Momonosuke, and also! The newly born infant, Kozuki Hiyori.

“Hahahaha~~~”

Kozuki Oden burst into hearty laughter the moment he arrived on the ship. And! Although many people didn’t trust Kozuki Oden, how should I put it, these guys in the Roger Pirates basically all had a problematic setting.

Soon!

Yes!

It was really fast. These people accepted Kozuki Oden. Arthur shook his head, how should I put it! He always felt that the people of the Roger Pirates had something wrong with their heads. On the other side.

Splash!

Splash!

As the waves churned, the Moby Dick gradually sailed into the distance, and Roger roared loudly, “Lads! Set sail! Let’s continue our final voyage!”

“Oho!”

Responding to Roger were deafening roars. The Oro Jackson also sailed into the distance. From this point, the Roger Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates went their separate ways completely. This voyage ended here, and they gained a crucial point!

Kozuki Oden!

In this era, the ability of Ohara’s scholars to translate Poneglyphs had not yet been exposed. And! On this vast sea, those who could translate Poneglyphs were extremely rare. Roger was stuck here, and now! He had finally found Kozuki Oden, so! He would definitely achieve his dream, there was no doubt about it.

“Hey!”

“Hey!”

Roger had just finished laughing heartily when he saw Arthur’s gaze. At that moment! He immediately became displeased! He said loudly, “Arthur kid! What’s that look in your eyes? What do you mean?” (For incredibly satisfying novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Arthur listened to Roger’s words, just silently shaking his head and saying, “Captain Roger, you’re mistaken. I don’t mean anything!”

“Wow!”

“Brat!”

Listening to Arthur’s words, Roger was practically fuming.

At this moment, Kozuki Oden walked over, smiling, “Arthur, when I was with Whitebeard, I always heard stories about you! You’re the first pirate apprentice to have a 1 billion Berry bounty!”

“Hmm!”

Arthur listened to this, shaking his head, “Mr. Kozuki, if I could! I wouldn’t want this 1 billion Berry bounty.”

“Eh?!”

Kozuki Oden became even more interested, saying intriguingly, “Can you tell me why?”

Arthur nodded, “For me, being a pirate is because I’m on Captain Roger’s ship, and Captain Roger has already made his choice. In the future, I won’t be a pirate. This 1 billion Berry bounty isn’t an honor for me, but rather quite troublesome.”

“Hahahaha~~~”

Listening to Arthur’s words, Kozuki Oden couldn’t help but laugh heartily, “That’s a truly interesting way of putting it! However, that’s your thought, and there’s nothing wrong with it.”

Kozuki Oden didn’t say anything more, nor did he continue to ask deeply. Although! Kozuki Oden often seemed like an idiot, that truly didn’t mean he was an idiot.

On the contrary!

Kozuki Oden was quite a smart person, it’s just that his thought process was a bit problematic.

Arthur also smiled, quietly watching Kozuki Oden leave, then looked at Kozuki Toki, who had light green hair. Hmm! How should I put it, Arthur actually wanted to ask this woman from 800 years ago what exactly happened 800 years ago.

However…

Arthur was silent for a moment, then gave up on the idea. Don’t be silly! A country like Wano, which is so isolated, knows nothing now. What could they have known 800 years ago?

“Forget it!”

Arthur still shook his head, no longer dwelling on these matters. These things were not what he should be considering. The problem of Wano Country! To be honest, it was not something he could change. He didn’t have that kind of power.

Moreover!

No one could change it. If Kozuki Oden’s own thoughts didn’t change, no matter who it was! No one could change Wano Country. It was always like this. Otherwise! If Kozuki Oden had been willing to change his mind, would Kaido and Orochi’s alliance have been enough?

Hmm…

What do you think about Roger and Newgate’s alliance?

So!

This was Kozuki Oden’s own problem. Any outsider’s words were meaningless.

“Arthur?”

“What are you thinking about?”

Seeing Arthur shake his head, Shanks asked curiously.

Arthur looked at Shanks and shook his head again, “Just thinking about some small things. Mr. Kozuki and Mrs. Kozuki have joined our pirate crew. I’m just wondering what kind of country Wano Country is!”

“Hahahaha~~~”

Listening to Arthur’s words, Kozuki Oden laughed heartily, “That’s no problem, of course! In the future, I’ll let you see what Wano Country is really like.”

Arthur smiled, “Then, Mr. Kozuki, it’s settled.”

“Of course!”

Kozuki Oden also let out a hearty laugh, and looking at this bold man, Arthur had a different feeling. In the end, he said nothing. His impression, his feeling, was ultimately just his own feeling. When he truly met this person, that’s when he would understand that in this real world, people are all completely different.

All in all!

Kozuki Oden and Kozuki Toki, along with their children, integrated into the Roger Pirates very easily.

Thump!

Thump!

Just then, with a sudden shattering sound, two exchanged barrels of sake broke, and the Mink tribesmen Inuarashi and Nekomamushi emerged from them. Both scratched their heads awkwardly, giggling.

“Inuarashi.”

“Nekomamushi.”

“Mink Tribe…”

Arthur watched Inuarashi and Nekomamushi being scolded by Kozuki Oden, and as he pondered about the Mink Tribe, he had some other ideas. Of course! His ideas would all have to be realized in the future, at the very least! They weren’t something that could be dealt with now. He was very clear about this, there was no doubt about it!

Ultimately!

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi had already come aboard, and there was no way to send them back to the Whitebeard Pirates. So! They naturally joined the Roger Pirates. Thus! The two of them became apprentice pirates of the Roger Pirates.

“Arthur!”

“Shanks!”

“Buggy!”

“Barrett!”

“Please take care of us!”

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi were like adorable children. They obediently greeted the four, and Arthur also smiled and greeted them. As for Shanks and Buggy, needless to say, these two outgoing guys quickly started playing around with the other two.

Arthur chuckled, “These two guys are really friendly with people!”

“Indeed!”

Barrett, however, calmly shook his head. His eyes were sharp, and he couldn’t trust these people from the Kozuki clan.

In fact!

Barrett was just such a personality. For him, comrades! They absolutely had to go through a long period of testing before he could trust them. He had been with the Roger Pirates for so many years, gradually trusting everyone in the Roger Pirates. So! For Barrett, even if he knew that the Roger Pirates would disband in the future.

He still stayed here because Barrett had once again accepted his comrades. He was no longer like the lonely ghost he once was. But! No matter what, even though Barrett had changed, he would never easily trust others.

Are you kidding me?!

If Barrett could trust others so easily, then Barrett wouldn’t be Barrett! And Arthur was very calm about this, just smiling and saying, “Barrett, don’t be so irritable. After all! They also joined the Roger Pirates.”

“Hmph!”

Barrett snorted, proudly saying, “As long as these guys don’t hold me back in battle, then of course there’s no problem!”

“Hehehe~~~”

Listening to Barrett’s words, Arthur chuckled and shook his head. Truly! This guy, no matter when, was always like this.
