Chapter 106: Sword Saint Fiore’s Possession!

Chapter 106 – Sword Saint Fiore Possessed!
“Muskets, one round of flurry!”

As the marines of the Beagle rushed up to the diving board, the musketeers guarding the Beagle opened fire decisively to cover their companions in a gangway battle.

And Arthur, who was the first on the deck of the Blackthorn, was like an axe-gun tearing open breaches in the deck for the marines.

The Marine Commander kicked over the enemy in front of him, then swept out his scimitar to end his life, blood spewing from the enemy’s mouth soaring across his face.

The commander wiped a handful of blood from his face, then glanced in Arthur’s direction, unable to stifle his grin.

“Good boy, you do have skills! Marines on my command! Protect his flanks and create a one-two punch for Sergeant Hastings if possible!”

In front of Arthur stood a large, topless man, the first mate of the Blackthorn, who looked at his wailing companions and couldn’t understand how his opponent had arrived here like a butterfly in an instant.

His forehead was sweating, but he still wanted to show Arthur how tough he was.

He spat out a mouthful of spit and shouldered the big sword that crashed on the ground as he spoke: ”Kid, I advise you to go back now, do you know what I am? I once followed ‘Jane Lafitte’, have you heard of his great name?”

Arthur nodded, “Of course I have heard of him. Because this pirate leader betrayed the navigation information of the Atlantic fleet to the Americans in the naval battle of 1812, the British government and the Admiralty offered a reward of thirty thousand pounds to try to buy his life.”

The first mate smiled triumphantly and said, “It’s good that you know. Get out of here right now, sir, if you refuse, I can’t guarantee what will happen next.”

“Even though you’re just a little yakuza who has followed him, if I hand over your ear ……”

Arthur smiled slightly as he staggered his front and back legs a half step apart, holding his sword in both hands across his brow in a standard window stand.

“I’m afraid I could still make a small fortune, couldn’t I?”

“You fucking …… I think you’re toast!”

Perhaps because of fear, or perhaps because of the smell of gunpowder and blood in the air, the big man suddenly roared, his arms bursting with veins, raising the heavy great sword in his hand and slamming it down towards Arthur with a titanic momentum.

Arthur did not dodge when he saw this, he raised his sword upwards and crossed his sword to block his head, it looked as if he was planning to fight with the big man.

But when the two swords came into contact, only a crisp ‘ding’ could be heard, Arthur’s wrist shifted forty-five degrees like the head of a flexible snake, and then his body and the officer’s sword in his hand shifted to the right like a soft sea breeze.

This tiny movement caused Arthur’s body to dodge the full force of the big man’s blow, while the sword in his hand slashed diagonally with a forty-five degree steering angle.

It was too late for the big man to dodge, in panic, he wanted to retrieve the big sword that smashed on the deck, however, at this moment he realized that Arthur’s left arm had already clamped his right wrist.

In desperation, he could only let go of his left hand and raised his left arm, which was full of muscles, to try to block this style of chopping that was coming at his face.

However, at the same time he changed his stance, Arthur also changed his stance, he slightly retracted his sword backward, and then changed his chop into a stab, and stabbed him through the back of his heart.

The drilling pain attacked the big man’s cerebral nerves, his hand couldn’t help but let go suddenly, only to hear a choking sound, the big sword fell to the ground.

But he still had no intention of giving up resistance after a moment of shaking his head, he raised that bushy left hand and choked Arthur’s neck with a deadly grip, his eyes were covered with blood, and a roar that was enough to shake the entire Blackthorn was released from his mouth that contained a large portion of blood.

“Brat, I want your life ！！！！！”

However, at the same moment he choked Arthur’s neck, Arthur also moved. Arthur topped his face, which was slightly blue due to the lack of oxygen, as he clamped down on the first mate’s right hand with one hand and held the officer’s sword that pierced the first mate’s heart in the other.

But that didn’t mean that as a master of the ‘Fiore Flow’ he had used up all his weapons, only to see Arthur’s shoulders slamming downwards and then slamming forward like steel, only to hear a thud, the first mate’s chest was dented inwards in a circle visible to the naked eye.

But even so, the first mate was still fighting with his last ounce of strength to freeze in place with Arthur.

In the eyes of outsiders, this was like a tug-of-war between a male lion and an African elephant, the first mate’s body leaned forward, his feet bent and stomped hard on the ground, trying his best to resist Arthur’s impact.

However, the deck stained with blood and salty seawater was ultimately unable to generate enough friction to block Arthur’s advance.

“Yaaaah！！！！！！！！！”

Only Arthur could be heard to let out an explosive cry, and on the smoke-filled deck of the Blackthorn, everyone saw Arthur advancing forward like a cannonball against the first mate of the Blackthorn, which was a full circle larger than him.

This way is unstoppable, he not only pushed the first mate, but also like a flash flood will be blocked behind the first mate of the Blackthorn sailors together knocked over to the ground.

Only heard a thud, the first mate’s back hit the Blackthorn’s guardrail, Arthur looked at his bulging eyes, he raised the corner of his bloodied mouth and whispered with a smile in the first mate’s ear.

“So long, dumbass!”

He stomped out and kicked the first mate in the stomach, only to hear a sound of splintering wood as the first mate’s body fell into the sea along with the shattered guardrail.

Seeing this scene, the marines of the Beagle, who were caught in a bitter battle due to their numerical disadvantage, couldn’t help but erupt in an amazing cheer.

“Arthur Hastings, bull!!!”

Agares stood on the broken mast overlooking Arthur’s line, and even he couldn’t help but jot down a few notes on his parchment scroll before nodding his head slightly in stirring praise, “Arthur, Brilliant!”

Aboard the Beagle, Elder was thrilled with Arthur’s performance, and he took a gunner beside him and shook him, “Did you see that? Did you fucking see that? That’s my good buddy!”

And Colonel Fitzroy, who was also observing all this through his binoculars, couldn’t help but put down the binoculars and shook his head, then sighed mournfully and rushed to Elder beside him, “Honestly, Elder, I’m starting to regret it a little bit now.”

Elder’s face was so happy that he didn’t have the guts to punch Colonel Fitzroy in the chest, “Mr. Colonel, what are you regretting? If I were you, I wouldn’t be too happy about such an outstanding battle result!”

The Colonel didn’t mind his rudeness, he just smiled bitterly and spoke, “I regret not listening to you, if I had known that he was capable of this, I shouldn’t have listened to the Admiralty’s order not to let him on board. I’m afraid Admiral Thomas Hardy didn’t even realize what a primus inter pares admiral the Royal Navy could potentially miss out on because of his whim.”

The older navigator chief beside him also smiled and rubbed the stubble on his chin, “Looking at this young man, I can’t help but think of an old acquaintance.”

Elder sniffed and asked curiously, “Who are you talking about?”

The old mariner narrowed his eyes and whistled, then raised that wooden arm of his and pointed at Arthur remotely.

“Who else could it be? The captain of the Royal Sovereign, deputy flagship of the Royal Navy in the Battle of Trafalgar, the fearless warrior who took the lead in the battle, the fearless warrior who took the lead in the battle, the dogfighting expert who is good at using a small amount of money to make a large amount of money, the unyielding warrior who was surrounded by four battleships of the combined French and Spanish fleets but still able to stand, the victor of the capture of the Spanish navy’s giant first-class battleship ‘Santa Ana’, and the man who enjoys the honor of being Nelson’s first-ranking officer in the battle. The victor of the capture of the Spanish Navy’s giant first class battleship ‘Santa Ana’, one of the four men who enjoyed the highest honor of carrying Admiral Nelson’s coffin, the best gangway general the whole of Great Britain has ever seen, and, at the same time, the most notorious maritime tyrant in the whole of the Royal Navy. ……”

Colonel Fitzroy couldn’t help but smile when he heard this and looked over at Arthur and said, “I see him in that young man too, so I guess you must be talking about your old boss, Admiral Edward Rotheram.”
