Previously ...
Arthur finished arranging the boxes inside the storage ring, initially the items that filled the storage ring but now the space used is less than one-third of the storage ring room.
...
The people Arthur met were not anime characters like in the One Piece anymore, but they all had lives, feelings, and were not entitled to such treatment if they were innocent. Arthur realized that he could not get rid of this slavery system right away, but at least he wanted to allow slaves who had no mistakes when captured and sold by slave traders to have freedom again.
...
Arthur's family's ancestors, the Amenome family, also actually wanted to reject the title Tenryuubito and remain in the kingdom of their ancestral origin. But the Nefertari family suggested that the Arthur family's ancestors continue to accept this opportunity and try to improve the system from within, while the Nefertari family would change the system from the outside.
------- ^ _ ^ -------
The next day after Arthur found out about his family history, he thought whether he needed to change his plans or not. He tapped the pen in his hand on the paper in front of him, he had made a line plan what he would do after the death of Gol D Roger. But he finally decided that he didn't need to change his plans because if the plan worked then everything would be fine.
Sebas: "Young master Arthur, the slaves you want to meet are ready in the next room." Sebas made a report by appearing behind Arthur suddenly.
Arthur: "Yes, let's meet them." Arthur stood and walked towards the room referred to by Sebas.
When Arthur entered the room, he looked at the 21 slaves who were lined up neatly waiting for him and Sebas came. Sebas immediately introduced Arthur to them, that Arthur was the young master of the Amenome family. Although their appearance changed with the clothes prepared by Sebas, their faces still looked the same. Women wear maid uniforms and men wear butler uniforms.
Arthur: "As you heard from Sebas, my name is Arthur. I get you out from the basement and gathered you all here because I wanted to give all of you a chance. Do you want to leave Mary Geoise?"
Hearing the children's question before them, 21 slaves who all had no hope were frozen. Is it possible for them to leave this hell, is it possible for them to meet their families again? The light in their eyes again shone when hearing Arthur's question.
Arthur: "If you want to go but have a slave mark, then I must give a new sign above the slave's sign. And I have asked Sebas to prepare a sign to cover up your slave's sign. I will also give 100,000 berries to you guys. So who wants to get away from Mary Geoise after this can talk to Sebas." All the slave's views turned to Sebas, who was standing behind Arthur.
Arthur: "And maybe some of you have decided to stay here, you can work under Sebas to be servants or guards here." Arthur turned around and stepped open the exit door to start training, but stopped seeing the slaves again.
Arthur: "I forgot to say, there is a husband or wife that you left behind already married and have a new happy family. There is also a family that you have died or somewhere whereabouts are unknown. You can choose not to believe, but Sebas has already found out a little about your background and you can ask him. Bye." This time Arthur went to the practice room to continue training his body.
-------? _? -------
*bang* *bang* *fush* *bang*
In the training room, there an old man fending off all attacks that were directed at him. The 60-year-old man easily made all movements without dripping with a single drop of sweat. All the attacks he managed to fend off, punch to the face, punch to the back of the head, kick towards his feet to drop it even dropkick that suddenly come from the top of his head he can guard it. After a while, a young man appeared 3 meters in front of the old man with a rush of irregular breathing. No doubt, the old man was Sebas.
Sebas: "Young master Arthur, you must be able to regulate your breath. If not then you will quickly feel tired."
Arthur: "Soru !! Tekkai !!"
Arthur rushed back behind Sebas using the marine's rokushiki. Every day Arthur always trains his body and once a week he always sparred with Sebas even though he never won even once. He had never succeeded in launching an attack because Sebas always avoided or deflected all of Arthur's attacks.
Arthur: "Geppo !! Rankyaku !!"
Arthur did not give up and stepped in the air to jump higher followed by launching an attack of sharp pressure air blades or Sickle Wind but Sebas easily avoided him. Arthur's Rankyaku leads to the floor and causes a cloud of dust to cover the view.
*pow* *bump*
In the cloud of dust, there was the sound of blows and followed by Sebas who was pushed back out of the dust cloud with his arms crossed in front of him. The cloud of dust slowly disappeared and there is Arthur was standing, sweating, and hard breath.
Arthur: "YES, the first time I made Sebas pushed back."
Sebas: "Congratulations, young master Arthur. Your body has reached the standards of a marine commander, coupled with the mastery of Rokushiki making you at the level of a marine captain. And this is very difficult to achieve by 7 years old child like you, maybe even impossible." Sebas was very proud of Arthur's development.
Arthur: "Finally I can increase the level of my training and eat the devil fruit that I have kept for a long time. So, this will be able to open my path to complete all my plans easier." Arthur immediately collapsed and closed his eyes because he was too tired.
Arthur, who is now 7 years old, has grown to 150cm with a muscular body but is not muscular of bodybuilder and looks more proportional to the body of a swimming athlete. With white hair in which the back is left long up to the waist and sky blue eyes make it look very handsome. For those who don't know Arthur, they will think that Arthur is 13 years old because of his appearance. (Kija - Akatsuki no Yona)
Sebas: "Is young master Arthur sure about the devil fruit you chose?" Sebas approached Arthur with a towel and asked worried about Arthur.
Arthur: "What's the matter?" Arthur, who was still lying down and closed his eyes on the floor, asked Sebas.
Sebas: "Why young master Arthur did not ask for Logia or mystical zoan devil fruit?"
Arthur: "You also know, no devil fruit is weak, there is only a weak user. And the devil is just a tool, how to use it depends on the user. Like a hammer, this tool is used to build things but can also kill someone." Arthur replied casually as he got up to receive a towel from Sebas.
Sebas: "If young master Arthur has decided, I will always support you."
Arthur took out a small box the size of a handgrip inside his storage ring, he had kept this devil fruit since 3 years ago when his grandfather gave this devil fruit as a fourth birthday gift. Arthur prepared his heart because hearing about the taste of the devil fruit and tried to swallow the devil fruit in the form of a lychee which as big as his thumb.
*blurg* *blurg*
Arthur: *blurg* "Even though I swallowed it right away it still felt very bad, even though I was allowed to be able to eat it again maybe I would refuse. Not only you can't swim as a loss, just the taste of the devil fruit..." *ugh*
Sebas: "What is young mater Arthur's feel? If allowed, I want to know what devil fruit that young master Arthur chose?" Sebas who did not know was curious about Arthur's choice.
Arthur: "Art is..."
