  "Sir Arthur, are you looking for Money, women, or power and status? Boss Bege provide you with all of it, as long as you cease your advance!"

  The Den Den Mushi's forehead was visibly sweating, as if Vito, oher end, was under immense pressure.

  "I want e Bege's head. you give me that?" Arthur paused for a moment, drumming his fingers oable, a pyful smirk on his face.

  "Nyorororo, Then there's nothing to discuss. It just so happens that Boss Bege has a group of former Seabury family servants. It seems they'll be fertilizer for the back garden!" Vito reverted to his true nature. The Den Den Mushi's tongue lolled out, giggling.

  His iation style was always like this: threatening people with their families. It was very effective.

  Unfortunately...

  "Oh??" Arthur raised an eyebrow. "The Seabury family's former servants? A bunch of purchased sves? What do I care?"

  "Tell e Bege to prepare his own coffin. Oh, wait! Don't even bother buying a coffin. I'll sink the whole isnd. sider it his burial!"

  With that, Arthur signaled Aurora to hang up the Den Den Mushi and waited for the cook to serve lunch.

  He had no feelings for the Seabury family's servants. What did their deaths matter to him?

  Besides, those purchased sves had fled after the Seabury family's dee. They had itted a capital offeheir deaths were not to be mourned.

  As for the so-called equality of all people and the abolition of svery? Sorry, Arthur had never sidered that. The weak obeyed the strong, and the strong could kill the weak at will.

  Wasn't that the natural order of things?

  If everyone were really equal, who would strive day and night to bee stronger? Might as well just eat, drink, and wait for death.

  Only the Revolutionary Army would treat such childish, foolish ideals as their mission!

  Weakness was the inal sin!

  "Arthur... thank you!" Aurora was moved. She inally thought Arthur would accept Vito's threat and promise.

  "Have the crew speed up!" Arthur wolfed down the delicious seafood, his words muffled.

  ....

  The Mafia headquarters was located in the eastern part of the West Blue.

  It was a medium-sized isnd, rge enough to aodate over a million people. It was firmly trolled by e Bege, who had driven out the inal inhabitants and taken it over.

  Tens of thousands of Mafia underlings were gathered here today, awaiting Arthur's arrival.

  The atmosphere on the isnd was solemn. Squads of Mafia members in bck suits, bck hats, bck leather shoes, and pistols at their waists patrolled every three steps and every five steps.

  In the vish manor in the ter of the isnd, security was even tighter.

  The chubby e Bege was smoking a cigar, his expression grave. The smoke blurred his features.

  "Boss Bege, he refused!" Vito's snake-like tongue flicked. He was ashamed of his first failed iation.

  "I expected as much!" e Bege flicked the ash from his cigar, a headache ing on.

  He had risen to the position of Mafia boss at a young age, relying not on luck, but on his own schemes.

  But today, his schemes had failed against someone he had never eve.

  "That damned Logia Fruit! Why wasn't I the one who found it?" He was filled with rese, but there was nothing he could do.

  He had alrided himself on his schemes, but now, it seemed, in the Grand Lirength was king! A Logia fruit had rendered him helpless. Tens of thousands of Mafia members were useless.

  "Boss Bege, what should we do now?" Vito inning in circles, uo even utter his trademark ugh.

  Extinguishing his cigar, e Bege made an important decision. Without alerting anyone, he took Vito into a secret underground chamber in the castle, known only to him. This secret passage led to a isoted, abandoned port.

  "Let them fight it out!"

  ...

  Two hours ter.

  The ship finally approached the isnd. As the crew reported, Arthur stretched zily and stood up from his deck chair.

  "So many people guarding? e Bege is afraid of death, huh?" He scoffed, his Observation Haki sweeping across the isnd, revealing over thirty thousand white silhouettes.

  "Arthur..." Aurora was about to see the death of e Bege, the man who killed her father. Her emotions were uandably turbulent.

  "The guards are most heavily trated in the tral isnd. It seems e Bege is hiding there!"

  Arthur clearly heard the hushed versations of the Mafia guards defending the castle. He immediately knew where Bege was hiding. But for some reason, there was no one speaking ihe castle, making it impossible for him to distinguish whie was Bege.

  "Tell your crew to retreat a dozen miles or so. Otherwise, the aftermath of sinking the isnd might affect you!"

  "Once I destroy this isnd, we'll have nothing to do with each other. I'll be leaving immediately!"

  With that, he didn't wait for Aurora to respond, his body transf into lightning and s into the sky.

  The Castle-Castle Fruit and the Devil Fruit pendium were in hand. There was nothing else here that he wanted.

  Aurora held out her hand, uo stop him. She watched Arthur depart.

  Arthur slowly asded to the sky above the isnd's ter, looking down at the nd below. The houses were the size of matchboxes. The Mafia members were like ants.

  "Using the Destru of an isnd to annouhe arrival of Arthur—It's not a bad way to make arance!"

  "Well the's use this move. It's ve, quick, and saves time!"

  He stood in mid-air as if on solid ground, his gaze indifferent and cold. He slowly raised his hands.

  "Zzzzzzt!"

  At that moment, the lightni wild. The entire sky fshed with lightning and thunder. Dark clouds covered an area of dozens of miles. Bolts of lightning ed within the clouds.

  "What's going on? Why did the sky suddenly darken?"

  "I don't know, maybe it's going to rain!"

  The patrolling Mafia members below looked at each other, bewildered. They were frightened by the sudden ge in the weather.

  "Look, what's that?"

  A sharp-eyed underling shouted, pointing to the sky. The people nearby looked in the dire he ointing.

  In the sky...

  Arthur held his hands aloft. The restless thunder seemed to be drawn to something, gathering in his hands from all dires, like a snowball rolling bigger and bigger.

  Not a sirace of electrical energy leaked out. It was madly pressed into a ball. Eventually, that ball of lightning became a dazzling blue sun!!

  "Zzzzzzt!"

  "Raigo!!!"

  Arthur's wild ughter spread to every er of the isnd. He smmed his hands downwards. The enormous, sun-like Raigo desded like a meteor...

  The intense blue light burned everyone's eyes.

  "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!"

  A deafening explosion. It was as if the teic ptes had been shattered. Earthquakes and tsunamis erupted simultaneously.

  Everything on the isnd was destroyed and vaporized by the lightning in Arthur's all-out attack!

  The sinking of the isnd triggered a giant tsunami that spread in all dires...

  "Hahahahaha!"

  Arthur panted slightly. His stamina ption was rapidly rec. He looked at the vanished isnd below with burning eyes, as if it were his most perfect masterpiece.
