'This bastard is very annoying, he still doubts my credibility even after everything I've shown him, he's more cautious than I thought' Arthur sighed silently and then said:
"After my mother died, I trained hard in fencing until I became a little good at it, then I decided to take revenge on George, but after looking for him in Ebisu, I didn't find him, I thought at first that my revenge was lost on me, but I didn't give up.
After investigating for several months, I found out that he was transferred to this town after he offended Queen's crush" Arthur spoke with several random information that he had prepared, he was not worried that it would be verified because there was some credibility in it and a group of bandits would not venture into the capital full of Kaidou's followers.
After a few seconds of pausing due to an artificial cough Arthur continued his speech:
"After I learned that he had moved to Bakura, I came to him 10 days ago and checked him well until I found out that he goes to old Leo's bar with some colleagues every Saturday.
After I prepared my plan, I went to the bar and started a random fight with one of the men there, causing some chaos among the customers, which gave me an opportunity to stab him in the chest and kill him." when Arthur finished his speech, an ecstatic expression appeared on his face as a sign of his overwhelming happiness to achieve his revenge.
After Ashura thought about Arthur's statements for some time, he bowed his head as a sign of agreement, one of his followers was present at the bar and what he told corresponds to Arthur's statements, of course Arthur did not finish and told them that the conflict in the bar worsened, which led to the death of some people from the public.
"Take him to get treatment and some rest." Ashura ordered the men who surrounded Arthur, and then shouted loudly.
"We'll be moving the camp deep in the woods in an hour from now. pack all the luggage"
…
Inside a small tent Arthur lay on a simple mattress on the ground while bandages surrounded his body, from which only his brown eyes and mouth formed in the form of an evil little smile could be seen.
'Everything went as planned, now no one will suspect that I am a person who came from outside Wano.'
The main reason behind all these strange actions of Arthur was to lay a foundation for him in Wano Country, if someone suddenly appears with a measure of power that will make everyone wonder about his origin and after some research everyone will realize that he is not from this Country, especially because of Arthur's Foreign features.
So to overcome all these problems, Arthur came up with the idea of making the same goal clear with a simple and classic history that will take away doubts from him, and even if someone thinks purely about his past, he will find himself looking in the wrong place.
All Arthur's steps were so well calculated that he left some clues in the town of the remains and the town of Ebisu, first he headed towards the capital and spent a few days there with the identity of a homeless person looking for a certain man, then he headed towards the town of the remains, and lived in a small house there.
Whenever someone asked him about his past, he told him that he was living in ibisua and he was looking for a certain person who killed his mother, in case someone asked about his identity in ibisua, he paid some homeless people to lie about his past and tell anyone investigating him the same story that he published.
As for the way he found George, it was very easy after he went to the remains town, he was sitting with the residents there and started complaining about the actions of Kaido's followers and the Shogun's guards, then people started complaining and muttering about their problems with Kaidou's followers.
Then Arthur noticed some names that were always repeated, including George, and after investigating him, he learned that he molested a girl who was a fan of Quinn, and when Quinn found out about you, he was transferred from Ebisu town to the town of Bakura.
George's character was perverted and he loved women so much that he harassed any girl he saw and also killed some of them because of their extreme resistance to him, George was the best cover for Arthur to use and make himself one of his victims, so after the Pirates heard of his desire to take revenge on him, none of them were surprised because they knew his very bad nature.
The reason why he pretended to be weak and was severely beaten by the Pirates was an offer he had prepared for Ashura and his followers to accept within them.
When he was escaping, he ran deliberately slowly so that the Pirates would catch up with him, after checking the area the night before he learned of the presence of some bandits watching the forest surroundings from above the trees.
So he pulled the Pirates toward a clear spot and began the charade he had planned. The only problem was how long it would take Ashura and his followers to intervene. If they were too late and Arthur found himself threatened with death, he would kill his enemies, which would completely ruin the plan.
'I'm more witty than I thought,' with a devilish smile Arthur complimented himself.
'Now there's only one part left, How did that bastard convince Ashura to teach me Ryu Haki, his personality is more cautious than I expected so I might have a hard time with him in the future' sighed Arthur as he looked at the bandits around him packing their things.
…
'I'm more good than I thought,' with a devilish smile Arthur complimented himself.
'Now only one part remains. How did that bastard convince Ashura to teach me the Rio Haki? His personality is more cautious than I expected, so I may have difficulty with him in the future.' Arthur sighed as he looked at the bandits around him who were packing their things.
….
Darkness fell on the forest of Mount Atama Yama, making the place lonely and scary for strangers, but inside Arthur sat by the campfire, contemplating the bandits, who were drinking and singing happily, Their big smiles filled half of their faces.
After looking briefly at the bandits Arthur sighed "Miserable." This was the only description he was able to give to these people in front of him. They may look happy on the outside but they are devastated on the inside, their smiles are just a mask or just an artificial feeling given to them by the intoxicating drink.
While Arthur was checking people around with his keen eyes, he saw a young man of about the same age sitting a little apart from the rest while quietly eating his food. His gaze was clear, full of determination, unlike the rest of the bandits.
The little guy had a normal height of about 1,80 meters, His hair was short, unkempt black, and his eyes were greenish brown, His clothes are a black-colored hakama and white stripes, it is obvious that his dress is a little old so that it was filled with sewing and repair marks and its black color became dull.
His hands were full of small scars as a sign of how hard he was in training, if Arthur had not had the ability to heal wounds and scars his hands would have been in a worse condition.
The young man raised his head and looked around to find Arthur looking at him but his expression didn't change and all he did was put down his plate, picked up his sword and headed towards the dark forest.
Arthur was a little surprised by the other young man's actions, but he didn't pay much attention to them, although he felt some curiosity to know what that person was doing, However, no investigation will be conducted about him until he gains the confidence of the bandits.
…
[ Three weeks later ]
Arthur sat on a felled tree trunk while holding a small dagger in his hand and sharpened a piece of wood, his eyes sometimes looking in front of him at the bandits preparing themselves to carry out a robbery targeting the supply wagon of Kaido's followers.
Over the past few weeks, Arthur's wounds have fully recovered, But in order not to arouse the suspicion of the bandits, he would cut himself and change his bandages in front of them from time to time in order to keep any kind of suspicion away from him.
While Arthur was contemplating the bandits, he heard a voice calling to him.
"Musashi you will participate in this mission."
