"Let's go. It's time to start our new journey," Arthur said calmly. He still felt unsure about many things as they ventured deeper into the New World.
Luffy nodded in agreement, and the crew passed through the city gates.
The sight before them was stunning—a vibrant and bustling place.
As they explored, Arthur gathered bits of information and learned that this land was called Wano Country.
Luffy wandered through the streets, captivated by the lively atmosphere. "Let's stay here for the night," he suggested with a grin.
The group found their way to an inn.
Arthur carefully scanned the surroundings multiple times, ensuring there was no sign of danger, before stepping inside.
Meanwhile, another group of pirates was docking nearby.
Basil Hawkins surveyed the area before addressing his crew. "Don't cause unnecessary trouble in this small country. We don't have the resources to back a full-scale raid here."
Hawkins instructed his crew to rest for the night and headed to one of the inns in Wano Country—the same inn where Arthur and his group were staying.
The two crossed paths on the staircase. Without hesitation, Hawkins summoned several scarecrows, which surrounded Arthur like a constricting diamond ring, limiting his movements.
Suddenly, a bolt of thunder split the sky, striking the scarecrows and breaking their formation. The clash between the two began.
"I didn't expect to run into you here. What a coincidence," Arthur said with a sneer. "But you're not leaving this place today, Hawkins."
Hawkins glared at Arthur, his voice cold. "Fate has a strange way of bringing enemies together. But I'll be the one leaving here today," he muttered ominously.
The scarecrows became fiercer, their speed increasing with each passing moment. One launched a direct attack, aiming for Arthur's chest. However, flashes of thunder crackled as Arthur dodged with remarkable agility.
Both groups quickly gathered at the inn, drawn by the commotion. Yet, they too were struck down by bolts of lightning from above as chaos erupted.
"You're looking for trouble again," Luffy growled, stepping into the fray with an intense glare. "Let's see which of you gets out of here alive!"
As the battle raged on, neither side held back, completely disregarding the small inn around them. Arthur, careful not to cause excessive damage, fought with precision. Just as another thunderbolt struck, it shattered the scarecrows one by one, reducing them to ashes.
Hawkins stumbled back a few steps, his expression grim. He hadn't anticipated how much Arthur's power had grown. A thin trail of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.
"I didn't expect your training to have advanced this far," Hawkins muttered. "But this isn't over. Mark my words." He tried to retreat, eager to escape the fight.
However, Arthur wasn't about to let him go. With relentless strikes of thunder, he kept Hawkins pinned down, leaving him scorched and disheveled.
Seeing Hawkins in such a pitiful state, Luffy burst into laughter, clutching his stomach. "You call yourself strong? Dream on! You're nothing in front of us!"
Arthur dusted off his hands as the storm of thunder he had summoned gradually dissipated back into the sky. His control over lightning had clearly reached new heights, making these attacks seem effortless.
