One Piece : Rise of Thunder King

Seeing the commotion from a distance, Arthur's expression darkened. He remembered how he had taught the Celestial Dragons a harsh lesson the last time he was here. That should have been enough to humble them, yet it seemed they still hadn't learned their place.

Now, being greeted by an entire army instead of proper respect made Arthur feel annoyed.

If this was how they wanted to handle things, he thought he might as well remind them who they were dealing with—and teach them proper manners for welcoming him.

"Hey! Get your leader out here right now!" Arthur called out. "Don't waste my time with your weak attempts to stop me.

Do you really think your little skills are enough to hold me back? I've been here before, and if you've got any memory at all, you'd know better than to act like this.

Get the person in charge to come out and greet me properly. Stop standing in my way—you're only making things worse for yourselves!"

Arthur sat calmly on his thundercloud, lightning flickering beneath it. His mood was far from pleasant, and his voice carried an undeniable authority.

Despite his words, some guards foolishly shouted back at him, clearly unaware of his true power. Arthur's warning was enough to send chills through most of them, but a few remained defiant, not realizing the trouble they were inviting.

"Stop bragging about Haikou.

Do you even know where this place is? This is the land of the Celestial Dragons.

Welcome to the Sabaody Archipelago.

You're just a small, insignificant user of a Devil Fruit power.

And yet, you have the nerve to brag?

Haikou, are you planning to challenge the entire world? I suggest you quickly admit defeat and leave.

The farther you go, the better. Otherwise, your future might not be so bright, and I can't promise you won't face serious consequences."

The leader of the Celestial Dragons, Im, would never speak to me like this. But this little soldier was acting so arrogantly. An old officer nearby immediately understood the situation and hurried to stop him, covering the soldier's mouth to prevent him from saying more.

But it was too late—the soldier had already finished his words.

Arthur's expression shifted from calm to angry.

He gently formed a small thunderball in his hand and hurled it right at the soldier who had been boasting.

The soldier's body jerked and convulsed, instantly being electrocuted into a pile of bones.

"Now that you know the consequences, let's see who else is willing to remain a slave to the Celestial Dragons. I'm telling you, just because your little army can't resist me, it's time for your boss, the Celestial Dragon, to come out. If he doesn't, I'll destroy the entire Sabaody Archipelago."

At this point, Arthur had lost all patience. He no longer wanted to waste time with these weaklings. Upon hearing his words, the soldiers around him were thrown into chaos.

They didn't know if they could withstand Arthur's power, but they all realized that Arthur could crush them with ease, like squashing ants.

If they kept resisting, it seemed certain that they would all end up as nothing but bones.
