Inside Odrick's House, Arthur sat quietly while his whole focus was on a small handwritten book, every now and then taking a sip of cold tea as he turned the pages of the book, continuing to read with expressions of excitement.
After a few hours of reading Arthur closed the book and put it aside while there was a look of contemplation on his face, the contents of the book were so creamy that he needed some time to digest it all.
'Odrick, Odrick, you are a very useful person, I didn't have any aspirations for you but you broke my expectations and showed how useful you are, a small smile appeared on Arthur's face as he put the book aside.
This book is a memoir that summarizes all the knowledge that Odrick gained during his travels with the Pirates of the Sun, although the idea of the diary was part of Arthur's plans, he did not expect its success.
When Arthur escaped from Mary Geoise two years ago, he had several psychological and emotional problems that made him act irrationally most of the time, but nevertheless he managed to come up with a small plan that he ordered Odrick to implement.
Before they parted in the Sabaody Archipelago two years ago, Arthur ordered Odrick to join one of the pirate crews and record all the knowledge he gained on his travels.
Arthur was sure that Odrick would join the crew of the Sun Pirates because he was the only crew that a former slave of the Fish-men race could join.
'With this information, I will be able to raise my strength by learning hard-core hacks and fishmen karate, my plan has really worked, everything I hoped to get has become in my hands, Odrick has accumulated quite a fortune and gained several acquaintances during his journey to be the basis for what I want to do'
An evil smile appeared on Arthur's face as he began to look forward to the future, it's time for him to take his first step in his revenge.
Arthur stood up from his place and went out to walk around the island for a while, while he was walking calmly, he began to review his plans.
...
'With Odrick's help, I can form a strong group of people to work under me, although this plan has a lot of risks, it is necessary if I want to succeed in avenging the Celestial Dragons'
Arthur was like a king on a chess board, but the king can't win a battle without pawns, so Arthur needs a group of people to do his business for him.
Spying, assassinations, collecting information and saving money are all things Arthur wants to save through his next step, his ambition was not an easy thing, he knows that his main enemy is the ruler of this actual world Imu Sama, a man who is shrouded in a lot of mystery.
'It won't be that hard as long as I put Odrick at the forefront and controlled everything from behind the scenes'
With a small sigh, Arthur raised his head to find a beautiful mermaid surrounded by a group of human Pirates, greedy looks were visible on the faces of the Pirates as they began to tighten the noose on the mermaid, who began to scream for help.
"Heeeelp! someone save me…" the nymph was screaming in a beautiful female voice that made her cry like a beautiful ringing in the pirate's ears.
The alley was empty and there was no one there except Arthur, who had a mocking smile on his face. He was aware of the truth of what was going on but decided to play a little.
He walked hastily, contrary to his nature, pushed the pirates away and stood between them and the beautiful nymph, he was spoken loudly.
"Stay away from this girl, you pirates bastards"
The first look that appeared on the pirate's face was bewilderment, but it quickly turned into ridicule.
With a big laugh one of the Pirates said:
"Get away, kid, this is not the place for you to claim heroism while wearing these clown clothes" the laughter of the Pirates surrounding Arthur rolled.
Arthur was wearing a robe that covered his head and put a piece of cloth on his face. His clothes were similar to the assassins, but for these people it was something unusual and strange.
Arthur didn't say anything and all he did was take a step forward and walked towards the person who mocked him.
"Do you want to get hurt, boy" with a quick movement The Pirate sent a powerful punch towards Arthur's face.
Slash!
The pirate's hand stopped in the middle of the road while there was a look of amazement in his face he did not understand what had happened but one of his comrades pointed to him and said:
"What about your cheek" these words woke him up from his stupor, he raised his hand and touched his cheek to find it swollen and some blood began to flow from his mouth.
He opened his mouth wanting to say something but another slap came to him from out of nowhere that made him Shut up and take a few steps back as he started to collect his teeth that were falling out.
"Kill him!" The pirate raised his head towards Arthur and signaled for his comrades to attack.
Everyone pulled out their weapons and walked quickly towards Arthur with intense killing intent.
Arthur pulled out a small dagger and began to attack, with graceful movements dodged the Pirates weapons and repulsed the attack, with each blow of his dagger he wounded the Pirates in random places.
Arthur eventually stood up as the Pirates quickly fled moaning in pain, Arthur did not intend to pursue or kill them.
Arthur wiped the dagger from the blood and returned it to its place, then rushed away without turning around at the mermaid he helped.
As soon as he took his first step forward, he was surprised by a gentle hand grabbing him by the shoulder and gently pulling him, although this act did not intend any evil, it made Arthur's instincts react so quickly that he quickly pulled out his dagger, but he stopped his hand before the mermaid noticed who pulled him.
He turned his head and looked at the mermaid watching him with an innocent face without saying anything.
"Thank you, sir, for saving me, if you don't mind if you come to my house, I would like to host my rescuer properly" the mermaid said while blushing with embarrassment.
"No need for that," Arthur replied calmly as he wanted to leave, but the mermaid's hand did not leave his shoulder and after some argument Arthur was convinced and escorted her towards her house.
...
Inside the mermaid Lily's House Arthur sat quietly while holding a cup of hot coffee in his hand, after coming to her house Lily insisted that he sit down and drink something before leaving.
"I appreciate you helping me, sir, I didn't think there were still good people in this world" Lily said in her sweet voice as shyness washed over her.
"No need to thank me, I did what anyone else would have done" Arthur spoke quietly, taking small sips of coffee in his hand, in order not to show his face all the more, slightly lifting the cloth so that only his mouth was visible.
Lily used to look at Arthur with shy glances, but every time he took a sip of coffee, those glances began to change to ridicule.
Fall!
"Are you all right, Sir?" Lily screamed in an anxious voice after Arthur knocked the coffee cup out of his hand.
"I'm fine, just feeling a little dizzy" Arthur challenged in a weak voice, holding his head in his hand.
Suddenly Arthur looked towards Lily and said in a low voice:
"What Have you done to me!" Arthur begins to quietly lose consciousness as he looks towards Lily who is laughing maniacally, her evil laugh makes her pretty face look disgusting.
"Stupid human, it's your fault because you upset Big Brother" After Lily made sure Arthur was unconscious, she got up from her place and headed towards her door to open it.
In front of her house stood 7 Fish-men, four of whom were the people whom Arthur beat on his first day here.
"Did the plan work" one of the people spoke while there was a look of anticipation on his face.
"Yes, he was foolish enough to voluntarily drink poison of his own free will" Lily sneered as she carved out the door to let the others in.
