"Qualified to sail the Grand Line, yet you're stuck wasting away in the West Blue, this pathetic excuse for an o. And you have the o call yourself a Great pirate?" Arthur scoffed, his eyes filled with pt.
"You little punk! How dare you look at me like that… You're dead!"
He coiled his fist, veins bulging on his hand, and threunch—a blow perhaps even strohan the one used by Gotti a few days earlier.
"You don't even possess a shred of Armament Haki, and you think you hurt me?" Arthur didn't even bother to dodge, allowing the fist to ect squarely with his body.
"Zzzzzzt!"
The sound of crag electricity sizzled around Arthur. Disco's full-force punch passed straight through him, emerging from his back.
Slowly, Arthur turned his head, a grin spreading across his face. His body, though pierced, was pletely unharmed. Disco, oher hand, trembled, his entire arm reeking of burnt flesh.
"Thunder Fruit user? Seabury D. Arthur?!" Disco stammered, his eyes wide with terror as reition struck him.
"Zzzzt..."
Arthur raised his right hand and flicked a finger. A thin bolt of lightning shot out, striking Disco squarely in the chest. The electric current's peing forstantly stained his shirt crimson.
"AAAAAGH!" A bloodcurdling scream ripped from Disco's throat as searing pain engulfed him.
"Captain!!!!!"
Disco's crew yelled, scrambling for their ons and rushing to his aid. Arthur, anticipating their every move, willed bolts of lightning ience, unleashing a furious barrage on all around him.
"Zzzzzzt!"
The relentless crag of electricity filled the air as the charging pirates colpsed oer another like dominoes.
Disco's eyes bulged. No pirate captain, unless utterly heartless, could bear to watch his crew sughtered before him.
"RAAGH!"
He roared in fury, drawing his cutss and bringing it down with all his might on Arthur's neck. Arthur's head flew off like a kite with a severed string.
Then, a horrifying se unfolded. The severed head slowly rose from the ground, a mog smile on its face, and floated back to Arthur's neck. A fsh of blue light at the ree point, and not a sirace of injury remained.
"Hahaha! Didn't you know that Logia users are immuo all physical attacks except those imbued with Haki or Seastone, you idiot?" Arthur tauwisting his neck.
Despite having the highest current bounty in the West Blue, Disco Barum had never left its waters. Just knowing about Devil Fruits was a feat for someone of his limited experience. How could he possibly uand the intricacies of Logia's intangibility?
"Monster… Monster!" Disco stammered, the terrifying ability beyond his prehension.
"So little experience—so little guts. No wonder you've never dared set foot in the Grand Line." Disgust tinged Arthur's voice as he saw the fear in Disco's eyes.
'Aren't pirates supposed to be wild, ambitious, wless, and free? If you're afraid, why bother being a pirate at all?'
The Iron Sand Sword sliced off Disco Barum's head. Blood sprayed everywhere.
After killing every st pirate on the ship, Arthur tossed their bodies into the sea, keeping only Disco's head as a trophy to exge for some belly.
For a pirate, the sea is the perfect grave.
…
"I'm gd I was born in this tumultuous, perfect age of piraew World, just you wait!" Arthur murmured, looking up at the clear blue sky.
He walked to the helm, sulted the navigator's chart, pared it to the isnds behind him, a a course for the Grand Line, adjusting the rudder accly.
After destroying the Mafia headquarters, he discovered that, having flown around aimlessly, he had deviated from his inal course. To reach the Grand Line, acc to the map, he still had to pass dozens of isnds, taking more than a month.
Of course, Arthur could fly directly to the Grand Line, but that would take away the joy of sailing on the o. Unless absolutely necessary, he preferred to travel by ship.
....
Three days ter, after Arthur had broken the rudder of the ship, he finally ehe waters within an isnd's territory. paring it to the map, he found that this isnd had one of the few Marine Branches in the West Blue. He hadn't gohe wrong way.
As the stolen pirate ship he shore, the isnders spotted the unremoved Disco Barum Jolly Roger on the sail.
"Quick, inform the Marines, a pirate ship is ing!"
On the sea, only the Marines could suppress pirates. Decades of Wover propaganda had successfully painted all pirates as vilins of the worst kind.
The vilgers quickly grabbed their Den Den Mushis and tacted the local Marine base.
"Moshi Moshi! Is this the Marines? A pirate ship has been spotted offshore! The entire vilge is requesting immediate assistahey're almost here! Please hurry!" The vilger's voice was a frantic squeal, as if the sky itself was about to fall.
"Please describe the situation accurately and provide the pirate ship's markings," the Marine oher end responded.
The implied message was clear: If it owerful pirate crew, the Marines would o sider whether to engage.
The vilger hurriedly described the Jolly Roger and then hung up.
....
Marine Base.
The call was received in a feren.
A dozen or so officers sat in order at the fereable.
At the head of the table tain named Mozambia, wearing a gray uniform and a white Justice coat. He would bee a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral iure.
"Gentlemen, I've called you here not to discuss how to deal with the Disco Barum pirates, but rather, Marine Headquarters Admiral Zephyr and Vice Admiral Borsalino are about to arrive. We must hahis pirate i beautifully," Mozambia said gravely.
Hearing the Captain's words, the officers present were all shaken, their zy demeanor instantly vanishing.
An Admiral from Headquarters was ing! Perhaps if they were appreciated, they wouldn't have to spend the rest of their lives in this backwater.
Thinking of this, they all perked up, ready to face the Disco Barum pirates.
