Above Pirate King - Chapter 118
Shipyard of St. Martin Island
Although Blood Harbor Town’s Shipyard is now the kingdom’s most important shipyard, the original shipyard of St. Martin Island has not been abandoned and is still constructing ships.
Early this morning, Arthur gave the workers here a day off. He was waiting here with a few Gold Saints for Smoothie’s arrival.
Arthur himself didn’t expect this marriage alliance to proceed so smoothly.
Of course, this also proved how formidable the Charlotte family’s intelligence network was. If it weren’t for Sengoku’s intervention at the end, the Marines would have had to bear the loss!
The wait wasn’t long.
Soon, a huge yacht slowly entered the shipyard.
Smoothie stood on the bow, holding Raichu, looking around in confusion. Was this the place she would live in the future?
For the past month, she had been inside the Skybreaker. Although it was luxurious and even had various amusement facilities, her confusion about the future and her uncertainty about Arthur made her uninterested. She spent her days sulking in her room.
Later, Shion noticed her mood but had no good way to solve it, so he simply let Raichu, the most popular among the maids, accompany her to play!
It turned out to be effective. Girls couldn’t resist the charm of cute creatures. With Raichu’s company, Smoothie’s mood improved significantly.
Of course, her mood improved, but her confusion about the future remained. This made her eager to learn about the Kingdom of St. Martin and understand Arthur’s situation!
At this moment, Skybreaker spoke up!
At first, Smoothie was startled by the voice of Skybreaker. After all, a cold mechanical voice suddenly sounded in the room, which was indeed strange. But later, she gradually got used to the presence of the Skybreaker.
And through Skybreaker, she learned a lot about the Kingdom of St. Martin and Arthur!
However, she sneered at the Skybreaker’s description of Arthur’s strength. She thought, how powerful could someone from the West Sea be?
Although her mother’s order was to marry, she wouldn’t resist that. But if someone wanted to get into her bed, it wouldn’t be so easy. In her mind, her future husband had to be stronger than her.
After a moment of confusion at the bow, Smoothie snapped back to reality. Holding Raichu, she jumped off the ship without looking back, walking coolly towards the exit of the shipyard, not even glancing at Arthur along the way.
Arthur and the Gold Saints were left in the shipyard, dumbfounded.
Shortly after, Arthur, wearing a curious expression, watched Smoothie’s departing figure and rubbed his chin, chuckling. “Hehe, she’s got character! But it’s alright, love will come with time!”
At this moment, Shion disembarked with Milo and the attendants on the ship, and the Skybreaker transformed into its combat form after a series of mechanical sounds.
“Greetings, Your Majesty!”
Shion, Milo, and the attendants knelt on one knee and shouted in unison.
“No need for formalities!” Arthur waved his hand casually.
“You’ve all worked hard. Go rest now! You will all receive a reward this time, and I will have someone deliver it to your homes!” Arthur said with a smile.
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
The group replied happily.
In the following days, under the management of the ministers, Arthur married his second queen, Charlotte Smoothie.
Perhaps every woman has a vision of a perfect wedding!
Although Smoothie showed a cold attitude towards Arthur in the shipyard, she cooperated quite well during the wedding.
Opening, ceremony, conclusion, a series of rituals were completed, and the two of them successfully became a couple.
At night.
Arthur’s bedroom.
Satomi was not here today. Instead, she chose to sleep in the adjacent room and gave the bedroom to the couple because she knew that a woman only had this one time in her life, and of course, it had to be perfect!
“Creak!”
Arthur pushed open the door and walked in.
What he saw was Smoothie wearing a pristine wedding dress, with healthy wheat-colored skin, long and slender legs, flowing long hair, and a captivating beauty. She held a longsword in her hand.
“Wait!”
“Something seemed off?”
Arthur rubbed his eyes unconsciously, then focused his gaze.
“Still not right!”
“Why are you holding a sword in your hand!!!”
“Could it be that you’re going to kill me?”
Thinking of this, Arthur shrank back, feeling a chill all over his body!
“Hehe! Although we’re married, it doesn’t mean you can freely enter my bed. If you want to get in bed, you have to ask the sword in my hand!” Smoothie held the sword horizontally in front of her chest and sneered coldly.
“Wait, so you’re saying that as long as I can defeat you, it’s enough?” Arthur was initially taken aback, but then he chuckled and asked.
“Yes!” Smoothie nodded firmly.
Upon hearing her response, a smile formed on Arthur’s face. “Then I’ll make my move!”
“Go ahead!” Smoothie sneered disdainfully.
In the next moment, Arthur suddenly appeared in front of her.
A large black hand directly gripped her sword and gently squeezed.
“Crack!”
Before she could react, the sword in her hand shattered into pieces.
Facing Smoothie’s chest, Arthur softly asked, “Is this enough?”
If Smoothie were about the same height as him, whispering these words in her ear would instantly give off an imposing CEO vibe, but now it could only be considered a cute height difference!
And Arthur was the shorter one!
Smoothie stared at the broken sword in her hand, completely shocked. She never expected Arthur to be this strong!
Immediately, a sense of refusal to lose surged within her.
Without a second thought, she casually threw the broken sword aside and fiercely swung her fist at Arthur, simultaneously activating her Devil Fruit ability.
“Squeeze!”
“Crackle!”
“Ah–”
As Smoothie’s fist approached, a burst of electricity appeared around Arthur’s body. Instantly, she was electrocuted, let out a cry of pain, her legs went numb, and she collapsed to the ground.
“Rumble-Rumble Fruit!?” Smoothie looked up at Arthur, revealing an incredulous expression.
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit was one of the top-tier Logia Devil Fruits in the Elemental Series, an existence that made people covetous. Even she had hoped to obtain this powerful fruit herself!
Never did she expect to see it in the hands of the king of this small kingdom in the West Sea!
“Yes!” Arthur smirked, slightly nodding his head.
“Want to try again? I can fight you without using my Devil Fruit ability, solely relying on my martial arts!” Arthur’s face revealed a mischievous smile.
He knew that people like Smoothie, who came from the world’s top pirate crew, naturally carried a sense of superiority. In order to avoid disharmony in his harem in the future, he had to completely crush that sense of superiority and trample it underfoot.
“Come on, why not give it another try!” Smoothie’s competitive spirit rose again. She slapped the floor, stood up fiercely, and said with determination.
“Alright, here I come!” Arthur smiled faintly, placing his hands behind his back.
Seeing this, Smoothie’s gaze hardened, and she angrily asked, “Are you looking down on me?”
“Hehe!” Arthur’s eyes showed a hint of contempt as he scanned Smoothie up and down. Then he chuckled, his expression self-explanatory.
“Die!” Enraged, Smoothie swung her fist fiercely at Arthur.
Dodge left!
Dodge right!
Advance!
Retreat!
Arthur’s body moved subtly, as if he could see Smoothie’s attacks in advance. Each time, he barely evaded her strikes with the smallest possible movements.
After fighting for a while, Smoothie began to feel that something was off!
Suddenly, a previously heard ability appeared in her mind!
She looked at Arthur in shock and said, “Observation Haki’s Foresight?”
Arthur didn’t answer, still wearing a smile as he nodded slightly.
Formidable Armament Haki, Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and the ability to foresee the future with Observation Haki. Just what kind of monster was he!
However, as my husband, he seems quite qualified, right?
Should I just give in like this?
Smoothie struggled internally for a moment, but in the end, she let her hands drop and completely abandoned her intention to attack!
“Now, can you accept me as your husband?” Arthur smiled faintly and gently asked Smoothie.
Smoothie didn’t speak, her face blushed instantly. She bit her lip lightly, remained silent, and turned her head slightly, whispering, “Since I can’t defeat you, do whatever you want!”
Although her voice was quiet, Arthur heard it loud and clear. He smiled faintly and approached her.
