Arthur's POV

-3 Days Later-

I spent the last 3 days in the cycle of gambling, training, and occasionally making some small talk with my new crewmates.

Since they couldn't get used to life on the ship, these chats were about how slow the time passes in the sea, and how boring their life is and why can't I come up with something better than gambling.

I know the reason why they are this whiny. When they were back on their island they had friends and family surrounding them and they were free to do as they please on that island but they start to get on nerves too.

I made a couple of friends, which I think them as decent guys but some of the crewmembers that keep constantly complain about their lives, consuming my patience really quickly.

Today I was thinking I should show this wolf pack who's the true alpha of this ship but then the excitement these people were wishing for showed itself.

A small fleet formed one big and 3 medium-sized sh.i.p.s were closing on us from our southwest. The direction where our target, the town of Grivine supposed to be.

Even before using <Observe>, I knew what the f.u.c.k was that sh.i.p.s about. It might be what you called sixth sense or intuition but it didn't take too long to find what's truly happening on those sh.i.p.s.

Using the <Eagle Eye > I took a close look. These sh.i.p.s were caring the same logo like the one I destroyed before. Symbol of Drug Peclo's crime syndicate, A skull painted with clown make-up on a blue flag and two red scythes located to make them look like a crown.

I didn't want to enter a sea battle and risk my ship damaged. There is a possibility of witnessing another messed up scene inside those sh.i.p.s but... right now I can only hope I meet with those sh.i.p.s before too late.

Horus's POV

* Night time, inside of her room, taking notes on her logbook "

I was practicing a movement skill called the foundation footwork technique with Korin in the backside of the deck. He said it was a skill taught to him by Mr. Arthur as an apology for injuring him.

It's hard to believe he has such different sides to him. One side is like a total demon ready to consume this world. I can't forget what I witnessed 10 days ago. Crushing down and destroying a giant ship out of pure anger, ripping out iron and flesh to satisfy his rage.

The other side is like the polite and gentle humans that I read at the sacred tomes of our legends. If the trap Korin fell was belonged to a warrior of my tribe and if he survived that accident, Korin would have to rebuild that trap and had to compensate the owner of the trap with a large hunt he watched since he is not awakened as a warrior of the tribe... but Mr. Arthur not only healed Korin's wounds from that fall, he even closed the Korin's former scars and injuries left from his trainings.

He even gifted such a miraculous technique to Korin. Korin himself has yet to understand the effects of this technique but after spending 3 days training this skill, I understand how valuable it is.

In just 3 days my movement speed nearly doubled and I'm able to better balance myself when I clashed my weapon or my fists to my target. I'm now able even to take support from the ground I stand and deliver more powerful blows.

Finally, what I mean to say is I saw a different side of Mr. Arthur today. I don't know if this one is his true self but I'm certain this is the one the tribe shouldn't cross at all cost.

When I was training with Korin around midday, we heard the sound of an alarm telling us to be ready for combat, because of our training session both me and Korin weren't at our peak condition but still, we thought mere pirates was not enough to harm us, so we took our spears we trained with and rushed the front of the deck not bothering to put our armors on.

At the front deck, I saw Mr. Arthur for the first for this day. He was looking towards the oncoming sh.i.p.s like he knows what exactly happening there.

Even as werewolves with our superior bodies, we can't see anything but blurry faces at this distance without turning in our ancestral forms. I was surprised by how Mr. Arthur as a human can do something that I'm not capable of but I take that as one of the weird abilities of his devil fruit. A miraculous fruit supposed to be named as summon- summon fruit.

My surprise turned into fear a couple of seconds later. The air around us starting to feel like it was boiling, a red aura surrounded Mr. Arthur's body like a cloak. I thought he once again lost his temper and was about to destroy our ship like how he has done to the slaver ship, but my worries quickly disappear as I lost sight of him.

Hearing some sounds of growling at my back, I take a quick look and saw my brethren turning to their ancestral forms and start staring at the place where the sh.i.p.s are. I follow them and start transforming myself. Between Mr. Arthur's disappearance and me completing my transformation took 1,5 seconds or 2 seconds at most. after that, I heard the thundering sound of a blast.

Nearly a kilometer in front of me I saw Mr. Arthur breaking the sound barrier while running on the water. I couldn't believe what I saw at first, and before I could progress what happening he disappeared from my sight once again, but this time I knew where he was headed.

I focus on the big ship leading the other three and just after that Mr. Arthur appeared suddenly in front of a strong-looking man wearing some fancy clothes I saw similar types of ill.u.s.trations of our tomes and grab the man by the face.

I don't know how strong Mr. Arhur's grip but the scream of pain that man let out while Mr. Arthur squeeze the man's face was even heard from our ship, near 4 kilometers away from that place.

We have no way of hearing what he said but I saw Mr. Arthur saying something to the man just before crushing his head like fruit, after killing the whom I thought as the captain of the fleet, Mr. Arthur raised his hands and throw something with bright red-colored to each enemy sh.i.p.s. After hitting the decks those read balls exploded and this time a red mist covered those sh.i.p.s.

After that red mist covering the area, the crew of those sh.i.p.s started to enter into a frenzy and attack anything on their sight like mindless beasts.

Standing in front of such destruction, I can sense the fear dozing of my brethren behind me but for me... even though I know it's not normal, the only type of thing I felt was awe... respect.

I read about people with godly powers fight for supremacy in the grandline and in our legends, I heard about beings who can crush and sink islands with their hands. I know that even though I might not reach that power even if I try for my whole life but with intense training and talent support it, I can still get close enough to clash with those beings one day even if that clash would cost me my life, but seeing what Mr. Arthur capable off... I know one day he will stand above even those so-called gods.

Even now when I'm writing this part in my logbook after 5 or 6 hours after that event I can barely stop my shaking. Fear, awe, respect, he is the one warrior who truly deserves all of them.

* 'Okay... I shouldn't get sidetracked before completing today's review' said Horus to herself and keep writing down the events she saw today. *

I can perfectly remember how he summoned an ethereal looking sword for himself out of nothing and covered that sword with his scarlet flames.

I guess witnessing such sight, and standing near fell the presence of the warrior who will send them to hell, some of the frenzied crew started to gain consciousness but all of it was futile, Mr. Arthur moved liked a specter between those humans and decapitated each of them with a single strike.

He moved like the pictures I saw in Korin's book, he passed through obstacles like they were nothing, not a single movement of his was purposeless, each step he took readied him for his next strike.

It took him around 5 minutes to clear up the crew of 550 slavers, We, the people who were supposed to escort him on his journey barely reached his side with the ship in that 5 minutes.

Korin being the ignorant fool, actually dared to ask Mr. Arthur what kinda technique was that flaming sword of his and Mr. Arthur actually answered Korin without minding his audacity.

He said the technique called < The Dance Of The Fire God >, one of the 17 techniques of the breath of the sun. Korin was going to ask other questions but I dragged the fool away before he can bother Lord Arthur.

* Slaps her forehead, " I did it again... I know Mr. Arhur said there is no need for such title and told me that calling him mister is more than enough but how can something supposed to describe the common men can express might of Lord Arthur... Well since he asked me to call him mister and calling him directly by his name something either the regular fool Korin or the jealous fool Roku would do, I would honor his request but I hope one day I will be allowed to call him my lord without worry. He is way better than that old goat Anuf and other assholes anyway." said Horus herself before finishing her logbook with a couple of small details. *

When Korin was asking his question I thought to ask a couple of mines but I didn't want to bother Mr.Arthur furthermore. I wanted to ask if he mastered the technique he gave Korin himself or he was the one who wrote the book but the time was not right so I decided to wait for a more suitable time and place.

Before I forgot to add, those sh.i.p.s were filled with humans captured from... I can't remember the name of that place right now but it was the town Mr. Arthur set our course to at the start of our journey.

That place should be turned into ruins by the slavers but Mr. Arthur said he wants to help these humans so I will follow his orders and of course, the rest of my brethren have to follow the same orders too.

I can remember how disrespectful they were towards Lord Arthur, they take him as one of the common folks like them but since he allowed them until this time I decided not to interfere but I don't think none of them would dare to oppose lord's orders from now on and well if they do I am the one appointed as the leader of this group until we returned to the tribe, so even if lord lenient to them I won't be,

As for the human, Lord rescued they are currently in shock of what happened to them but even if my lord spent his precious time save them but if I see them acting out... well some of them might not survive this road to their homes.

*Closing her logbook "This much should be enough for today" said Horus and left her room to look for Arthur, deciding to keep the annoying people out of his sight.*

Author comments (1): Arthur got himself a zealot

Author comments (2): The reason why I didn't post new chapters is, around 10 days ago I realized I fell really behind on my studies and since my finals coming, I have to quickly catch up if I don't want to fail some classes and there isn't time left to edit my chapters, so yeah this novel is not dropped or anything but right now best I can do is post one chapter per week until my finals end.
