King Arthur, Apprentice of Roger’s Company Chapter 242

“G-Great battle! This is a battle of the century!”

“The final decisive battle between the Steel Empire and Great Britain?! How could it be so sudden?!”

“I-It can’t be! I was still planning to go out to sea, how could such a big event suddenly break out?!”

“Will Pirate Island be swept in too??”

“Hiss… Such a large-scale fierce battle, do those Marines who claim to be righteous not care at all?”

“The flames of war, will the flames of war burn us?!”

“…”

They were shocked for a whole year by the earth-shattering news.

After coming back to their senses.

They couldn’t help but worry about themselves. Although the Steel Empire and Britain had nothing to do with them, they were afraid that if the city gate caught fire, the fish in the pond would suffer!

If these top forces in the sea really fought to the death, who knew if the waves they stirred up would also smash them, these small fries, to death.

“I, I don’t believe it, it must be fake…”

“A war between such big forces is not that easy to trigger.”

“Such a large-scale decisive battle would take a long time to prepare, supplies, manpower, logistics… It’s not playing house, how could it be so easy to solve.”

Just as most people were panicking and fearful, a wise man finally took out his all-seeing eyes and began to analyze it in a serious manner.

With evidence.

Suddenly, he won back the trust of many people.

It has to be said.

Although they yearned for chaos, nine out of ten pirates still knew their place. If they were really to fall into the quagmire of a confrontation between such big forces, their identity would most likely be reduced to cannon fodder.

The pirates who aspired to go out to sea instinctively chose the possibility that was beneficial to them, firmly stood with this wise man, and cheered him on.

“Hmph hmph~”

The wise man, feeling that he had the upper hand, directly threw a provocative look at him.

The fish-eyed youth was so angry.

Blood rushed to his brain, and the engorged blood vessels directly dyed his eyeballs crimson: “D-Damn it!”

“I wasn’t talking nonsense!”

“Stop spouting nonsense, the Buselxis Kingdom under the Steel Empire has received orders from their superiors to all go to the British waters. All high-level warships, and ability users who have mastered Haki and Devil Fruits, must all go, and it’s not just the Buselxis Kingdom that has received the order…”

“Under the Steel Empire, including their allied nations, there have been large-scale troop deployments. The powerful Silver Hammer, Gold Hammer… several Admirals, have long since disappeared. Their actions cannot be hidden, and they didn’t intend to hide them on purpose. As long as you investigate a little, you can find out…”

“What else could such a large-scale operation be if not a decisive battle? They can’t possibly put all their troops there just to form an alliance with the new King Arthur of Britain!”

The alcohol rushed to his head, coloring his face red. With his rationality suppressed by instinct, he directly spat at him without restraint, acting incredibly arrogant.

He glanced at the group of guys gathered behind the wise man, cheering him on, looking like summer insects that couldn’t speak of ice, feeling superior in his heart, full of the sense of superiority that everyone else was drunk but he was sober.

A series of information combination punches came down, like slaps hitting the wise man’s face one after another, beating him so badly that his face was almost swollen into a pig’s head.

“Hahahaha…”

The gratifying scene of face-slapping soon brought about a burst of laughter from the other pirates in the bar.

The information he spoke of.

It was so widespread that it couldn’t be faked at all.

Just as this guy said, as long as you carefully investigate, you can easily discover the clues.

Such a widespread operation.

Let alone the Steel Empire, even the World Government would not be able to keep it a secret.

So!

The result was naturally undeniably true.

“Decisive battle…”

Many sharp-sighted pirates, even those of extraordinary status, suddenly opened their eyes from their seemingly drunken state. The alcohol in their clear pupils dissipated, turning into complex expressions.

In the dark.

Many people even took advantage of the chaos in the bar to quietly slip out.

Battle Axe Bar. (For exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

A sparsely populated corner.

In the bustling bar, places with sparse crowds were truly rare.

It was as if…

Even though it was crowded nearby, it seemed like no one saw it, allowing people to squeeze and step on each other, yet no one walked towards this side, as if blocked by an invisible barrier, an invisible air wall stood there.

“What?”

“Aren’t you leaving?”

A muffled voice echoed by the empty table.

A short, stout man with a full beard, his body was very strong, his arms were bulging with muscles, and he clearly wasn’t someone to be trifled with, much like a goblin dwarf in fantasy works.

In fact!

He was only short when compared to the large, clearly abnormal person next to him.

If compared to ordinary people, he was still burly and strong!

“Leave? Where can we go?”

In the low voice, it seemed to be filled with the surging sound of weapons and horses. His dark long beard seemed to drag on the ground, subtly lifted by a wisp of energy, swirling in the air.

The fellow drinking sullenly in the corner was none other than the fleeing Silver Axe and Wang Zhi.

Their spirits shattered by Arthur.

They were even indifferent to being openly talked about as a defeat by small-fry pirates, but only the decisive battle between the Steel Empire and Great Britain instantly caught Silver Axe’s attention.

“Are we just going to let it go?”

Silver Axe stopped drinking the wine in his hand, staring at Wang Zhi with a face full of unwillingness.

“Otherwise?”

“What else can we do?”

Wang Zhi suppressed the emotions in his heart and tilted his head back, downing the wine in his glass.

“Don’t forget!”

“John died by his hand!!” Silver Axe lowered his voice, the sound squeezed through his teeth like the suppressed roar of some wild beast.

His eyes, for a moment, were wider than brass bells.

He looked like he was irreconcilably at odds with Arthur.

Don’t misunderstand!

He wasn’t trying to avenge him.

But coveted the treasure that John had plundered!

That guy was obsessed with treasure hunting and had collected countless powerful pirate treasures. It was even highly likely that Captain Rocks’ treasure was on him, plus Arthur’s historical text coordinates, and his subtle connection to Roger’s Great Treasure.

All these combined, let alone Silver Axe.

Any pirate who sought treasure couldn’t help but be tempted by this!

“So what!”

“Do you have the confidence to deal with his move?”

Wang Zhi narrowed his eyes, his cold voice like a basin of cold water poured over his head, instantly suppressing his unrealistic thoughts and restless heart.

“Hmph hmph…”

Silver Axe looked disheartened and silently slumped onto the table.

He didn’t say a word.

He continued to fight with the dazzling array of food on the table, gorging himself as if to vent his unwillingness on the tearing of the food.
