King Arthur, Apprentice of Roger’s Company Chapter 259

Character name suggestions:

Arthur, Morgan, Galahad, Kay, Nako, Nico Robin

“So that’s it…”

“Arthur has already grown to this point?!”

Morgan’s eyes flickered slightly.

In her low murmur, she unconsciously erased the small word.

The cute, ignorant boy who stood beside her.

Had also quietly grown into a true king without her realizing it!

“Heh heh.”

Morgan chuckled softly.

While feeling relieved, there was also an indescribable sense of loss.

He truly was remarkable—

Perhaps, only someone like him could lead Britannia to stand at the pinnacle of the world once more.

Lord of all armies, King of all kings…

A composite of the final dragon concept of myth, something neither I nor Phile can compare to?

How exciting~

Morgan rested her head, her fair neck leaning on her slender wrist, the delicate white glow that filled her grasp enough to spark countless reveries.

“Have Galahad and the others discovered anything unusual?”

Arthur turned his head to look at Morgan.

For Morgan, who had meticulous control over various magic, even to the point of it becoming instinct, remote communication was as easy as eating and drinking, even with signal jamming.

It was definitely an essential skill for home and travel.

“No~”

Morgan touched her lips, puffing out her cheeks playfully. “That Galahad fellow is trying to use the power of the wind disaster to probe, but the effect seems to be mediocre…”

“My King!”

Just as Arthur frowned slightly.

A fully armored figure with fiery red hair suddenly strode in, his armor rustling, and knelt on one knee before Arthur.

On his arrogant face, there was a hint of sullenness; “This subordinate is incompetent…”

“I have failed your trust.”

“Although there have been twists and turns, the precise information we need is still nowhere to be found. The enemy has concealed it very well, and it’s difficult to find a breakthrough in a short time. We can only use a tedious screening method, which will take a lot of time…”

Kay hung his head.

Looking very much like a dejected large dog.

“Only a meager effect?”

Arthur nodded slightly, his face showing no surprise. If it were that easy for the enemy to expose their weaknesses, then the title of a top power on the sea would be too cheap.

Even with a large army pressing in.

Even if their interior was empty.

After all, it was a powerful nation that had existed for hundreds of years. Its political system and procedures had long since developed to perfection. To expect them to fall into disarray and expose all their secrets with just one unexpected incident.

It wasn’t that easy to imagine.

“It seems…”

“The destruction isn’t great enough!”

Just as Arthur frowned, a fierce glint flashed in his emerald eyes, planning to cause another major disturbance, directly shocking the imperial capital and rendering their stabilization methods completely ineffective.

A fluffy little head suddenly poked towards him.

“I… I think I know…”

The timid voice clearly belonged to little Nako.

“Is it… is it to investigate information?”

“I, I might know some useful things.”

Nako spoke, pursing her lips.

At first, she was a bit hesitant, but as she spoke, the determined look in her black grape-like eyes grew stronger, and her final words carried a hint of resolve.

“Don’t—”

The man with a face full of weariness wanted to reach out and stop her, but he couldn’t prevent her from speaking.

“Uncle!”

“Believe me, I really know…”

“Big brother, you’re going to deal with the World Government, aren’t you?”

I! I want to help too!”

Nako stood before Arthur, pursing her lips, stubbornly refusing to back down, her expression incredibly resolute.

She didn’t look like a delicate little girl at all.

Hmm…

The hatred in her eyes, however, made her seem like a seasoned warrior, who could only be born from destruction after being bathed and nurtured by blood and the fires of war.

“Oh?”

Arthur turned his gaze in surprise, raising an eyebrow, his eyes flickering with an unusual light.

Although he had long suspected that Nako harbored a little secret, that she could help with something like this greatly exceeded his expectations.

It was the only unexpected deviation from his plan on this trip.

As for a joke? (For an exhilarating novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Arthur shook his head faintly.

Given her young age, the abnormality she displayed, and her resilient personality, rather than thinking little Nako was (cedc) joking, Arthur was more inclined to believe that she possessed some special technique.

For example—a Devil Fruit!

While bearing the curse of the sea, it was also a power comparable to a miracle.

“I!”

“I have this!”

“I can eavesdrop on their conversations… information…”

Nako quietly opened her hand.

A slender, beautiful pistil bloomed in her tender palm.

“This is?!”

Arthur’s pupils contracted, instantly recognizing the source of the power in her palm.

Familiar energy fluctuations.

He had devoured and digested it countless times.

—Devil Fruit!

Paramecia type, Hana Hana no Mi (Flower-Flower Fruit)!!

So…

What Nako, you should be called Nico, shouldn’t you?

Arthur looked at the resolute girl in front of him, his mouth twitching, his heart filled with emotion.

Her face was delicate and soft, without the aggressiveness he remembered. In her grape-like eyes, dark karmic flames flickered, and her fingertips seemed to tremble uncontrollably, as if unable to suppress her emotions.

Nico Robin.

Child of the Devil!

The sole survivor of the Ohara Incident.

Bearing the responsibility of the World Tree scholars to uncover historical truth.

At the tender age of eight, she was already given a bounty of tens of millions of Berries, which could be called a hellish start.

Struggling to survive in the karmic flames, yet not wallowing in pain. Instead, she bloomed brilliantly amidst the thorns, dedicating her life to the pursuit of the Poneglyphs.

“So…”

“Am I encountering Robin’s幼生形態 (juvenile form) now?”

“According to the timeline, Robin should have recently escaped from Ohara and is struggling to survive in various parts of the world. Although she learned the harshness of the world due to the high bounty and knew how to hide…”

“But she clearly doesn’t have the later self, who is extremely wary, skilled in assassination, filled with various dangers, a femme fatale. However, her calm personality is already showing its initial sharpness.”

Arthur nodded silently in his heart.

Comparing her to the image in his memory, he made deletions and additions, lost in thought.

However!

If that were the case.

With the Paramecia-type Hana Hana no Mi in her hand, she might indeed know something.

Being able to make any part of her body bloom like a flower on any tangible object, the Devil Fruit was simply that overbearing and unreasonable.

And Robin’s exclusive “ear-listening” ability was to use this method to grow ears anywhere to eavesdrop on conversations.

With a high bounty but mediocre strength, she was able to escape and hide from those greedy pirates, and later, her fame grew even more, earning her the title of “Child of the Devil.”

This method definitely played a crucial role in Robin’s survival.

“You…”

“Do you also feel… scared…”

“Or disgusted by this power?”

Arthur’s prolonged silence seemed to have made her misunderstand something.

Robin’s eyes reddened. The girl who hadn’t cried even when being chased and forced to hide in ditches, her dark eyes unexpectedly welled up with tears.
