Arthur khe old man wasn't lying. The stru of the Thor was a massive uaking. To plete it within five years was already a stroke of luck. It couldn't be rushed.
"This is... frustrating!"
He stood up from the throne and walked outside, joining the group of shipwrights in the stru work.
...
Time flew by. Another year passed in the blink of an eye.
This year was 1496 in the Sea dar. Arthur was sixteen.
A year of growth had made him even taller, reag around six foot six. His physique was incredibly powerful, hiddeh his clothes, every muscle defined and hard as steel.
His appearance hadn't ged much, only being medly handsome.
Standing at six foot six in the One Piece world was sidered average, even a little short. But Arthur was satisfied.
His most signifit ge was in his strength. He had developed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power to 200 million volts, matg Enel's output during his fight with Luffy. But the destructive power was several times greater.
With the amplification from the Electric Field, his Observation Haki could now easily cover the entire Sky Isnd. In other words, every move of everyone on the isnd was under his surveilnce.
His explosive growth in power didn't make Arthur overly excited. He was busy w with the shipwrights, usiric heat aromagism to shape the gold, f it into the pos for the Thor.
Thanks to their efforts, his trol over eleagism had also improved. He could now lift dozens—even hundreds of tons of gold with a thought.
During the year, all the gold on Sky Isnd had been gathered and piled up he temple for him to manipute, transf it into precise pos.
While using his Observation Haki to survey Upper Yard, Arthur discovered the super-giant serpent known as the "Master of the Sky," which was then guarding the legendary Golden Bell.
When the God's Militia tried to covet its most treasured possession, it went into a frenzy, wreaking havo Upper Yard.
If Arthur hadn't arrived in time to give it a good thrashing, it was estimated that more than half of Upper Yard would have beeroyed, and all the buildings would have o be rebuilt.
Sitting on the suspended golden throne, Arthur rested his head on one hand and tapped the other ohrone, as if pying an invisible instrument.
Eleagism was being more and more profit, allowing him to transform metal objects into any shape he desired, effortlessly.
"It's been a year. All the pos are finished. We're just waiting for them to be assembled. But assembling it will take another year or more. I should head down to the Blue Sea ahe world." Arthur thought to himself.
"Crack, crack!"
Not far from the temple, the slumbering Master of the Sky turned over, toppling all the t trees beside it. This serpent was te. Its enormous body could probably coil around Reverse Mountain's whale, Laboon.
The Master of the Sky had lived for over four hundred years. It was inally from the Blue Sea, swept up to Sky Isnd along with Jaya by the rising current.
It was blue-striped, with fins like a fish. It was hard to imagine what it ate to survive, and why it hadn't devoured all of Sky Isnd in over four hundred years.
Rows of trees were ruthlessly crushed, leaving a rge, empty spa Upper Yard.
"J?rmungandr, quiet down!" Arthur shouted in annoyance.
He had given it the name J?rmungandr, because its size was simir to the World Serpent of hology.
Hearing the shout, J?rmungandr's massive body froze, almost curling up like a turtle retrag its neck.
A year ago, when he went to retrieve the Golden Bell, Arthur had fought it, beating it senseless.
Ever since, J?rmungandr had been terrified of him.
"Hiss!"
J?rmungandr flicked its tongue appeasingly, seemingly to appease Arthur. It raised its huge head, nudging the throne in the sky.
Normal people would have been scared to death by this, but Arthur was used to it. He khis serpent, having lived so long, had developed intelligeno less than a human's.
"Alright, alright, stop it!"
Arthur reached out and patted its head. He instructed, "J?rmungandr, I'm leaving Sky Isnd soon. While I'm gone, keep an eye on these people, got it? If they sck off on building the ship, eat them all."
"Hiss..."
J?rmungandr nodded, guaranteeing it would obey, a glint of relu its goldeical pupils.
...
"Lod, are you really leaving?" stance had been managing the affairs of Sky Isnd for Arthur, and he no longer appeared as timid as before.
"After I'm gone, supervise the stru of the Thor. I'll e ba a year to retrieve it."
Arthur actually felt a little relut to leave, having lived here for three years.
But his ambitions couldn't be fio the small Sky Isnd. The Grand Line was a much rger world.
"Do you need me to inform the God's Militia to see you off?" stance asked.
"No he fewer people who know of my departure, the better!"
Arthur waved his hand, his body slowly rising into the sky. He silently gazed at the isnd he had ruled for two years.
"Although I call the wind and summon the rain here, able to do as I please, this is not what I want! I want aing and thrilling life, a life of urained joy!"
He took o, deep look at the unfihor. Without further hesitatioransformed into a bolt of lightning and shot towards the west!
...
Arthur's reborn family, the Seabury family, was located in the West Blue. Their family castle was built on a small isnd in the West Blue.
It had been a full eight years since he had st been home. He had no idea if his family still existed.
When the family's mert ship had sailed to the Grand Lihey were all lost in a storm. Only a few old, weak, and sick servants remained in the family.
They were probably all dead by now. Even if they weren't, the valuables in the castle had likely been looted.
Arthur's only reason for returning to the West Blue was to erect a tombstone for his parents, who had treated him well, as a way to repay their kindness in raising him.
A man live without virtue, but never without feelings.
His body fully elementalized, the speed of lightning was very fast. In mere seds, he had flown out of Sky Isnd's airspace.
BOOOOOMMM!!
Arthur's current physique and stamina were definitely strong enough to support supersonic travel and long-distance flight.
No one khat high in the sky, a bolt of lightning was rapidly streaking towards the West Blue.
The world of One Piece was divided into four parts by the Red Line and the Grand Line.
To reach the West Blue, he o fly over the Red Line from the New World side.
Arthur flew ceaselessly, freely s through the clouds, leaving behind any lingering sadness about leaving Sky Isnd. All that remained was boundless excitement.
Like a prisoner esg from jail, he felt a sense of liberation.
"Hahahaha!" He ughed loudly, darting bad forth through the clouds. The lightning he created caused a reaaking the entire sky crackle with thunder and lightning.
Arthur's as would probably give navigators a headache, but what did he care?
....
A day ter.
"Hmm? What's that..." While flying, Arthur approached the Red Line. He saw a fantastical city in the clouds at the top of the Red Line.
, tidy, magnifit. In short, it seemed like all good things could be seen there, like a paradise oh.
"Mary Geoise?"
Only the Holy Land, Mary Geoise, was at the very top of the Red Line. Arthur was certain.
Suddenly, he grinned. "Should I give Mary Geoise a little greeting, and annouhe arrival of Seabury D. Arthur to the World?"
After careful sideration, Arthur decided against it. He didn't know what secrets and terrors were hidden here.
After all, it had stood fht hundred years without falling. Mary Geoise must have some great secrets.
The fact that Dofmingo could use this secret to threaten the Wover, making them wary, was incredible.
"Fet it. When I'm strong enough to fear nothing, I'll e back here... Now, I should return to the West Blue!"
Arthur transformed bato lightning and tinued his journey, flying over the Red Line, returning to his hometown in this world!
