Chapter 58 - Vol. 03 Ch. 08 – Aftermath

Previously ...

Arthur and Whitebeard had fought for 5 days without rest. Arthur did not dare to make a distance of more than 3 meters from Whitebeard to prepare for his Termor attack. Arthur's Busoshoku Haki was strong enough and with the ability to see the future with Kenbunshoku Haki making Arthur hard to defeat. But all that still could not make Arthur win from Whitebeard.

Arthur: "I know that I can't win from you, but I won't lose to you. [Infinity Art] *glup glup glup* [Seimei Kikan: Digestion - Absorption]

Arthur: "I'm happy because I can see the peak and wait for me a few years to take your title in the future."

Finally, on the fifth day, Whitebeard was already seen sweating and breathing deeply overuse his devil fruit and Haki. Although Arthur looks like he has a lot of injuries but he looks more energetic and still has a lot of energy to fight.

Whitebeard: "Let's end this fight with the final strike."

Arthur: "Yes, I also don't want to be bothered if the uninvited guests decide to take this opportunity."

Arthur moved quickly as well as Whitebeard. Arthur took the attack with his two swords, the Haoshoku Haki clash re-occurred and looked like there was a flash of their strike. After resisting Whitebeard's attack for some time finally, Arthur's swords began to crack and break so that the sharp blade Nagitana slashed Arthur's chest and knocked him far into the trees behind him.

------------------- ^_^ -------------------

Robin: "Arthur!" Hearing Robin who suddenly shouted makes Baby-5 pull out her wings and move quickly toward Arthur's place.

Hancock: "If you dare to die here then I will kill you, Arthur." Hancock followed Baby-5.

Marco: "It looks like their fight is over and this is indeed the right time to end it. All of you! Don't let any guests approach! Aren't you coming? " Marco walked casually towards his father after giving orders to the Whitebeard pirate members.

Robin: "There's no need, Baby-5 has already gone there. I know that he's okay, it's just that I was shocked when Whitebeard's naginata cut Arthur's chest. "

Hearing Robin shout suddenly made Baby-5 very worried and immediately moved quickly to Arthur's place. It's been five days since their battle and Baby-5 also knows that Whitebeard is a strong opponent. Although she believes that Arthur will survive but she is still worried. When Arthur practiced at Ryozanpaku she was not too worried because she did not know the level of difficulty Arthur faced, but now she who was more mature and knew how far she was from the strongest world made her worry about Arthur's condition this time. Hancock who knew from the start how powerful Whitebeard felt after his Haoshaku she knew that Arthur would be hard to win from Whitebeard if Arthur had no intention of killing Whitebeard with Art-Art Fruit abilities.

Baby-5: "Young master Arthur!" Baby-5 reached where Arthur's body was thrown after receiving Whitebeard's attack.

Arthur: "Ugh, Baby-5, I'm fine, just a little tired and scratched. I want to eat your cooking and go to sleep. " Baby-5 immediately uses his [Fairy Dust] to heal Arthur's wound.

Baby-5: "Young master Arthur is very reckless." Baby-5 wants to cry by holding her skirt tight and seeing the wound on Arthur's chest.

Arthur: "Sorry, but I want to do it, so you have to accept me as I am." Arthur, who had woken up, stroked Baby-5's head but suddenly Arthur was thrown again and received a Hancock kick.

Hancock: "You idiot!"

Arthur: "Auch ... do you think I deserve to accept your attack, Hancock?" Ask Arthur, who woke up after being thrown 2 times.

Hancock: "Of course! Hm! " Hancock folded her arms over her chest.

Arthur: "Sorry, but I also feel I deserve this." Arthur approached Hancock and kissed her lips, making Hancock's eyes wide open but immediately closed her eyes and hugged Arthur.

After getting his prize from Hancock, Arthur decides to return to the ship followed by Hancock and Baby-5 behind him. In the middle of the road, Arthur met with Marco and Whitebeard who immediately mocked Arthur because Whitebeard did not get serious injuries from the fight between the two of them. But Whitebeard knew in his heart that if Arthur continued to use his tactics, Arthur would succeed in defeating him who had run out of stamina. Arriving in Athena, Arthur immediately received 5 slaps from Robin in just one swing of her hand and the devil's fruit. But Arthur also did not forget to receive his prize for successfully fighting against the strongest man in the world.

Whitebeard: "Gurarara ... Arthur, I hope you have enough food and drinks for all of us from nowhere you took it out before."

All: "YAY!"

Arthur: "Why should I feed your children?"

Whitebeard: "Because you did not win from me." Those who understood Whitebeard's words were surprised because Arthur did not lose according to Whitebeard.

Arthur: "All right." Arthur took out all the food and beverage supplies he had stored in the storage ring.

Baby-5: "Young master Arthur, your food is ready." With help from Robin's hand to carry her cooking, Baby-5 prepared a lot of food in front of Arthur.

Marco: "For free food from this damn kid, Kanpai!"

All: "Kanpai!"

Whitebeard: "Arthur, give me food on your plate, the smell is very delicious!" Whitebeard who also had not eaten for 5 days was tempted by the smell of food he had never tasted.

Arthur: "All right. Robin, please. "

Robin: "You think I can only help bring food."

Arthur: "Eh? But I don't want to spill it by throwing this food. "

Hancock: "Oh yeah, Arthur, how come you don't look like you're starving after not eating for 5 days?" Hancock thought after seeing Arthur eating as usual.

Whitebeard: "Because he ate something when we fought." Whitebeard answers Hancock's question as to why Arthur could not lose to him by jumping here and there.

Arthur: "Hehehe ... with the power of my devil fruit and the recipe from Sebas made me able to create a high-energy drink and then [Seimei Keikan] made me quickly digest it. Hahaha."

Arthur and the rest kept partying from noon to late at night, but Arthur had fallen asleep on Robin's lap while the others were still partying. Hancock let Arthur fall asleep on Robin's lap because Hancock knew that Arthur felt tired, even though his body had no problems but he was mentally exhausted after fighting for 5 days. When the two groups partied, the news about Arthur fighting against Whitebeard for 5 days and immediately proceeding to party together became the talk of many parties. The pirates and underground organizations try to find information about Arthur and hope to invite him to join their group. While at Marineford, the marine headquarters was holding a meeting to discuss Arthur's status. With the ability to gather their information, the Marine and the World Government already knew Arthur's true identity.

Sengoku: "Did he join the Whitebeard pirate group?" Fleet Admiral Sengoku who sat chairing the meeting asked to confirm Arthur's status.

Garp: "Bwahahaha ... Tenryuubito became a pirate, very funny." Garp laughed at this news while eating his rice cake.

Tsuru: "Garp! What's so funny to you about this news? " Tsuru snatched the bag of rice cakes from Garp's hands.

Garp: "Our boss is the target of our fugitives, how is this not funny to you?" Garp reclaims his rice cake.

Zephyr: "Certainly he has a relationship with Whitebeard and may have the same strength as him, then Nico Robin The Devil Child is also with him, maybe he is Leonardo D Vinci who defeated Kuzan 10 years ago."

Garp: "Bwahahaha ... I remember that time, then what you fought was Maria 10 years ago. He is scarier than Tsuru. Bwahahaha. " Although Kuzan reported Leonardo D Vinci's involvement, he lied about their escape process.

Tsuru: "Oh ... the white witch, I haven't seen her in a long time.

Borsalino: "Fu ~ Scary ~ he is younger than us but can fight Whitebeard."

Sakazuki: "Hm! Pirate's blood flows in his body, of course, we have to catch him in the name of justice. "

Kuzan: "Arara ... but he is also Tenryuubito, a descendant of the 19 kings who formed the World Government. Do you want to get a call from Gorosei? "

Sakazuki: "If at that time you could catch Nico Robin then the news of his ability would not be a problem. Give me orders to chase him, Fleet Admiral Sengoku. "

Sengoku only silently closed his eyes to hear the 3 most powerful Vice-Admirals in the marine, of course after Vice-Admiral Garp who still refused to occupy the vacant Admiral position. Finally, he decided to ask the gorosei about Arthur's actions and status. At Mary Geoise, Gorosei was discussing Arthur's status after being contacted by Sengoku because he did not know what to do with Tenryuubito who was seen together with Nico Robin and was able to survive the fight with Whitebeard.
