King Arthur, Apprentice of Roger’s Company Chapter 074

“Ah-choo!”

“Ah-choo!”

“Cough, cough, cough~~~”

Buggy lay in bed, coughing weakly, looking sickly. Indeed! It was clear that this guy had a cold, and a severe one at that. It definitely wasn’t a mild cold; he looked completely disoriented.

“What’s going on?”

After Crocus treated Buggy and prepared medicine, everyone was very curious.

“…”

Arthur fell silent, silently watching the half-dead Buggy, and couldn’t help but complain, “Yesterday, Buggy sold me a Devil Fruit. As soon as I came back, he, in his excitement, fell directly into the sea. After I fished him out, he was fine, so how did he catch a cold?”

Seriously!

Arthur was truly bewildered. Listening to Arthur’s description, everyone was also dumbfounded. What the heck? Buggy’s strength was undeniable! With such strength, how could he catch a severe cold? And be so sick that he looked like he was dying? This was simply too outrageous, wasn’t it? He just fell into the sea! This was like outrageousness’s mother opening the door for outrageousness; it was outrageous to the extreme! It was impossible to describe, just two words: outrageous!

Buggy and Shanks’ strength, though not as overpowered as Arthur and Barrett’s, was still that of formidable powerhouses. Not to mention falling into the sea, even soaking for a day and a night shouldn’t cause a cold! But! These things should have been that way, yet Buggy still caught a cold.

What the heck?!

It was simply beyond outrageous!

“I don’t know.”

“Don’t ask me.”

“I’m not clear.”

Arthur couldn’t help but shake his head repeatedly. Forget it, forget it, he really didn’t know how to explain this matter.

For a moment!

Arthur felt that this might be the will of the great universe restoring everything to its original place. Don’t even mention anything else! In the original work, Buggy caught a severe cold, which was why Shanks and Buggy didn’t go to Laugh Tale.

Lo and behold!

Yesterday, the location of Laugh Tale was just confirmed, and it was very close. They were preparing to land today, but! Buggy got sick again. In this state, if he were to be tossing and turning on the ship for a day, and if they encountered any problems, something bad would probably happen!

“Forget it!”

Shanks said seriously, “Captain, I’ll rest with Buggy. In the future! I will lead my companions to Laugh Tale!”

Shanks clenched his straw hat, a very confident smile on his lips.

“Hahahaha~~~”

Seeing Shanks’ appearance, Roger let out a hearty laugh, “Shanks, you’re really good!”

His eyes were filled with approval. Undeniably! Shanks’ actions made Roger very satisfied. In the future! These children would all go out. If they were pirates, then! Laugh Tale should be reached by themselves, not by following him.

“Forget it.”

Arthur shook his head and said, “I’ll stay too. I’m not interested in Laugh Tale. Here! I think it’s better if I don’t land. After all, knowing some things, with my current strength, doesn’t seem to be a good thing.”

“I’m not interested!”

Hearing Arthur’s words, Barrett also shrugged. He was truly not interested in Laugh Tale! His goal had always been only one: the strongest position. As for anything else? Barrett was completely uninterested! He wasn’t even interested in what was on Laugh Tale!

“Hahahaha~~~”

Listening to Arthur, Barrett, and Shanks’ words, and looking at Buggy lying in bed, Roger laughed heartily and said, “Indeed! For you four brats, some things are better left unknown. So! This matter ends here. You four stay on the island we arrive at next, and we will go to Laugh Tale. Likewise! The real adventure for you begins now!”

“Mm!”

Arthur nodded, and the others had no objections.

Soon!

The four of them were left on an island, and Buggy also lay in the temporarily built small house. Once on stable land, no longer swaying, and having taken medicine, Buggy fell into a deep sleep and quickly began to recover from his fever.

“Mm!”

Shanks tested him and nodded, “Arthur, Barrett, Buggy’s fever has broken!”

“That’s good.”

Arthur also nodded, then found a stone and sat down, calmly gazing into the distance. It was good as long as Buggy’s fever broke. After all! They were all companions, and if anything happened to Buggy, it would be a bit unacceptable.

“This physique!”

Even Barrett, with his personality, couldn’t help but complain. To be honest! Buggy’s situation was indeed a bit outrageous! You actually caught a cold? You clearly have astonishing strength, yet you still caught a cold.

In the original work!

If your strength was weaker, then catching a cold wouldn’t be a big problem. But good heavens! Your current strength is quite good, yet you still caught a cold? This is simply f***ing outrageous! However, whether it’s outrageous or not, the situation is what it is, and you have to admit it. This is an undeniable fact.

“Arthur!”

Shanks walked over, also looking into the distance, and said, “Aren’t you unwilling not to reach Laugh Tale? So many years of adventure! We’re about to reach the final island, the time to know everything, yet we can’t reach it?!”

Arthur didn’t answer Shanks, but instead asked Shanks, “Shanks, what do you feel?”

“Me?!”

Shanks pondered for a moment, then said, “I want to reach Laugh Tale myself! Captain Roger said that the Roger Pirates will disband after their final voyage. If that’s the case! I want to form a pirate crew no weaker than the Roger Pirates in the future, have a group of my own companions, and reach Laugh Tale myself.”

Arthur still didn’t answer Shanks, but looked at Barrett and said, “Barrett, what are your thoughts?”

“Me?!”

Barrett looked at Arthur, then calmly said, “I’ve already said it, I’m not interested in any of this. All I want is absolute power! All I want is to become the strongest. As for these things? I’m completely uninterested.”

“Hehehe~~~”

Arthur chuckled, “That’s right! Everyone has different ideas. Shanks, you want to reach it yourself. Barrett wants to become the strongest and isn’t interested in these things. And Buggy is sick and can’t go. As for me! I’m also completely uninterested in these things. I have absolutely no interest in anything about Laugh Tale. I have my own ambitions, my own ideas, and everything about Laugh Tale means nothing to me!”

Arthur gazed into the distance. He really wasn’t interested! What he wanted to do was to become King Arthur, the Knight King, the Lion King, who would reign over the entire sea in the Holy Britannian Empire. But! He didn’t want to rely on anything else.

Undeniably!

There were very mysterious things in Laugh Tale, everything about the Blank Century that the World Government tabooed. But! Arthur simply didn’t care. Was it that important? If it were truly important, why was Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, the most dangerous criminal, and not other pirates?

Clearly!

The result was already before everyone’s eyes. In the World Government’s view, it was best if the Blank Century didn’t appear, but! Even if it did appear, it could be dealt with, because they possessed powerful strength, and their strength could deal with everything. But! Dragon was a real threat, and a huge threat that was rapidly expanding. Such a threat was the real problem.

All along! (Read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The Marines, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the Four Emperors, known as the three great powers of the sea, maintained a balance!

But!

Since they were the three great powers maintaining a balance, why was the final result that other things were more important? In fact! This was already self-evident. Anyone who wasn’t an idiot would know what it meant! Everyone was very clear about this result, but! Sometimes, many people just didn’t want to admit it.

Precisely because of this!

Arthur understood all this, knowing that these things were essentially meaningless. At the very least, for him, they were completely useless. What he needed to do was to display extremely strong power. When he possessed invincible power, that would be the most important thing.

Besides…

With such a good start, what was there to fear?

Seriously!

Arthur’s current start was simply god-tier, so! Going to Laugh Tale would bring more trouble than benefits. It was a meaningless thing, truly meaningless. Since that was the case, it was better to give up now!

“Mm!”

Listening to Arthur’s words, Shanks and Barrett both nodded seriously. The two of them didn’t ask any more questions, but quietly gazed into the distance, waiting for the others to return.

And!

This voyage would also be the Roger Pirates’ true opportunity to become the King of the Sea. This was absolutely undeniable! Don’t doubt it, the Roger Pirates’ strength would truly reach the pinnacle of this world, becoming the top of this world, wouldn’t it?!

Everything was already laid out before everyone’s eyes!!!

…

Whoosh!

Roger threw a Permanent Pose into the sea and said seriously, “Laugh Tale! To reach here, you must go through all the hardships and obstacles, not arrive so easily through a Permanent Pose. Otherwise! Would you still be worthy of being called the Pirate King who conquered the sea?”

“…”

Listening to Roger’s words, the few people who had secretly made a Permanent Pose to Laugh Tale silently lowered their heads. They knew they were wrong.

However!

This matter passed just like that. At this point, everything was over. Next! Everything was a truly new beginning! Wasn’t it?!

Thus!!!

The news of the Roger Pirates reaching Laugh Tale spread completely throughout the entire sea. Everyone on the entire sea now knew that the Roger Pirates had reached the legendary island and completed the legendary voyage.

It could be said that!

For a time, the entire sea was boiling.

“Gurararara~~~”

Newgate looked at the newspaper in his hand and laughed heartily as Roger became the Pirate King. He couldn’t help but remember Roger telling him his name, his true name being Gol D. Roger, and the meaning of D, as well as the method to reach Laugh Tale, and everything else, under the falling cherry blossoms.

Newgate was completely uninterested. He went to sea only to find his family, and now…

Newgate looked at the shocked children in front of him who couldn’t believe the newspaper, and showed a joyful smile! Yes, they were his most important treasure. As for what was on Laugh Tale? And what should be on Laugh Tale? In fact! All of this was no longer important to him, at least! It was completely unimportant now!

This was Newgate’s thought, and facts proved! Perhaps this was already enough!

“Gurararara~~~”

Newgate thought of this and laughed heartily. And not just Newgate, at this moment! Many people had already received this news, and everyone was very curious about what would happen next!

“Jiehahahaha~~~”

Shiki looked at the newspaper in front of him and couldn’t help but laugh heartily, saying grandly, “Roger! You bastard, you became the Pirate King? That’s truly exciting! As expected of the man who defeated me!”

Shiki openly and honestly admitted his defeat! Was there anything he couldn’t admit?

Defeated! Is defeated!

This was Shiki’s personality. Since he failed, he admitted it. It was not something unacceptable. Moreover! Shiki was not particularly interested in the position of Pirate King. What he wanted to become was an ambition like Captain Rocks back then, the King of the World!!!

At the same time!

“Roger!”

“Roger!”

Linlin let out deafening roars, furious screams, and roared angrily, “You bastard! You became the Pirate King? You stole my things! I will never let this matter go!”

Linlin looked at the newspaper, her eyes filled only with terrifying anger. As for future matters? Sorry! Linlin didn’t care at all now. The marriage alliance she had originally considered? What marriage alliance now!

Linlin’s rage was already uncontrollably devouring everything.

“…”

Kaido looked at the newspaper in his hand and pondered. Undeniably, this was indeed a serious problem. If the Roger Pirates really helped Kozuki Oden, with their strength, they would definitely be defeated.

“How should this matter be handled?”

Although Kaido was often like a madman, that didn’t mean he was an idiot! Kaido was also a smart man. He knew that if the Roger Pirates really came to attack, his Beast Pirates would have no power to fight back. As for the Kurozumi Orochi alliance? That was even more ridiculous! That guy was simply useless.

However!

He could only take it one step at a time. Kaido needed to think carefully; giving up was impossible. Are you kidding me! Wano Country, such a good place, as long as he controlled it, in the future, he would hold immense wealth in his hands. By then! He could launch the greatest war that would sweep the world, his dream!

This was Kaido’s dream, to launch the greatest war that would sweep the entire world.

Besides!

Baroque also naturally saw this news in the newspaper and murmured, “Roger, you have ascended to become the Pirate King? Indeed! Your ascension is well-deserved.”

Baroque didn’t mind his three-on-one defeat; that was war! Since it was war, his loss was a matter of course. Wars between pirates weren’t one-on-one duels! Moreover, a pirate wanting to become the Pirate King didn’t necessarily mean he was the strongest, but overall, he was definitely the strongest, and the Roger Pirates had defeated all other pirate crews, proving this point!
