Arthur said that the targets are actually people like Rayleigh and Jabba.

What he wanted to establish was not a force composed of a group of gangsters and pirates who gathered together to cause trouble.

It is a powerful guild, where everyone has the power to cover the sky with one hand.

We don't need the weak, we only need the strong.

"That being said... huh~" Xia Qi looked at Arthur meaningfully:

"Arthur, according to my intelligence sources, the Navy has been using public opinion these days to gradually put all the blame for the deaths of civilians in O'Hara on you."

In response, Arthur smiled and said, "Public opinion is public opinion. I don't care. After all, my reputation has long been rotten in the eyes of the world's common people."

Rayleigh and Xia Qi smiled slightly when they heard his words.

People who don't care about the world's opinion and stick to the path they believe in are often the most terrifying.

More importantly, Arthur has really survived all kinds of pressure.

"Pluto Rayleigh is actually a kind middle-aged man!" Robin stared at Rayleigh and thought:

"I am very different from the scary image in the rumors."

Arthur stood up and walked to the front desk and sat down next to Rayleigh. "I need a ship for a long voyage, mate, but I have no money."

"Do you think I have it again?!" Rayleigh heard it and responded immediately:

"I am a coating now, Arthur."

Arthur put his head close to Rayleigh's face and continued to beg:

"You are a senior. Can you think of a way for me when I don't want to destroy others and rob them?"

Senior... Hearing these two words, Rayleigh suddenly remembered the two previous duels.

His expression turned serious, and he picked up the whiskey glass and shook it:

"Speaking of seniors, Arthur, I have something to ask you."

Arthur was stunned: "What?"

"How do you view your identity now?" Rayleigh asked:

"36 billion berries, if placed on the ocean, you would be considered a super overlord of the pirate forces."

He never thought about such things.

The reward amount is just an illusory thing to him.

However, it seems to really increase people's fear of him, and also increase his status and influence in the world.

Rayleigh stared at Arthur, wanting to know how he would answer.

"Can you get me a glass of whiskey, Xia Qi?" Arthur did not answer directly, but pointed out the need for drinks to Xia Qi.

Xia Qi grinned, took out an expensive bottle of whiskey from under the cabinet, and poured a glass for Arthur:

"A hundred thousand Baileys."

Arthur looked at the First Generation Kitetsu on his waist, then pulled it out and placed it on the front desk:

"Use this knife as collateral first. Find a way to get me a sturdy boat. I'll find a way to get the money myself."

"!" The two were shocked when they saw the first generation of Kitetsu.

I thought it was just a rumor, but it turned out to be true.

Arthur really killed the supreme authority who held the first demon sword.

"As for the vice-captain's question just now, how do I view my identity?"

Arthur ignored their surprise and continued:

"I have been building a terrifying image, and the current bounty and events are making this goal a reality."

"You don't understand what I mean, Arthur." Rayleigh sighed: "What I mean is, in terms of pirates, do you think of yourself as a senior?"

"Me?" Arthur found it difficult to answer this question.

First of all, he doesn't buy into the pirate camp's kindness and righteousness.

Just act according to your own ideas.

"Some time ago, Shanks came to me to complain." Rayleigh said:

"Most of it is about you, Arthur, being incompetent as a senior."

Arthur responded: "I don't like him trying to get close to me. He's too purposeful."

"Everyone has a purpose, Arthur. Without mutual interests, who would be willing to put themselves aside to please others?" Rayleigh said again.

"Stop, stop, stop, don't use him as an analogy. I have my own way of doing things, and I will respect those who deserve respect. First officer, he doesn't deserve my face or respect."

Arthur toasted and interrupted Rayleigh, not wanting to continue listening to that long speech.

"This kind of self-centered personality... is it really developed because of one's own experiences?" Rayleigh thought to himself and stopped asking questions.

I feel that being respected by others is the greatest honor I have given them.

Xia Qi suddenly leaned close to Arthur's ear and whispered:

"By the way, how do you arrange this little girl?"

"She seems to be very dependent on you, Arthur."

"She can do whatever she wants. She doesn't need me to arrange anything for her. It's her freedom." Arthur said loudly.

I feel that there is no need to deliberately hide these things from Robin.

"I will only teach her the rules of survival. The rest is entirely up to her."

"Tsk, a cold popsicle." Xia Qi gave Arthur a disgusted look: "You are so boring!"

"Then what do you want me to do?" Arthur glared at Xia Qi fiercely and roared.

Robin listened attentively at the side without saying a word.

"Hehe~" Xia Qi lay on the front desk, supporting her face with her hands and grinning at Arthur: "How old are you, Arthur?"

"I'll be 24 soon." Arthur looked calm, looking down on Xia Qi's sudden frivolous look.

"Yeah~ You're a 24-year-old man, shouldn't you think about yourself?"

Xia Qi looked at Arthur and glared at Robin beside her.

She kept winking at me.

"..." Arthur's mouth twitched, he understood what she meant, but he stared at Xia Qi without saying a word.

"Tsk...why is it a piece of wood? Do you understand what I mean?"

"It's a bit taboo, Shaggy," Arthur said, glancing at Robin.

Robin's eyes were wide open at this time, and he naturally understood the meaning of Xia Qi's actions just now.

"Okay, I won't teach you these anymore, you stupid fool." Xia Qi picked up the First Generation Kitetsu on the table, pulled it out and said:

"Ohara was destroyed. She is the only survivor and the daughter of Olbia. She is the only known existence that may reveal the truth about the world."

Xia Qi walked out from behind the bar, extinguished the cigarette in her hand, came to Robin, and asked with a smile:

"Are you a scholar, little girl...?"

Robin blinked and didn't answer her right away.

Instead, he looked at Arthur, who was sitting with Rayleigh, wanting him to give him an answer.

"Why are you looking at me?" Arthur noticed her gaze and said, "Take care of your own affairs."

"Two weeks ago, Dr. Kloba awarded me the Scholar Medal." Robin paused for a moment and decided to tell the truth.

"But I was still not allowed to participate in the research of historical texts... In the end, everyone was destroyed because of that stone."

"She graduated at the young age of eight. What a literary genius." Upon learning that the other party was a scholar, Xia Qi smiled and gently stroked her head.

Then, she came up behind Arthur and said, "There's a reward of 7 million Baileys for this identity alone. With your knowledge, you should understand what this means, right?"

Arthur knew it naturally without Xia Qi reminding him.
