19 Chapter 19: Opportunity

In the middle of a room designed in a royal European style, Don Bernardo sat with anxious expressions filling his face as he quickly moved his foot and rubbed his hand.

"What is going on, why are they watching me, could it be that they knew about the schemes, does this have anything to do with Sir Tristan" the more don Bernardo thinks about it, the more worried he becomes.

He found out that he was being watched by some people from CP0, and the Knights who follow the Holy Knights recently, Don Bernardo was worried and afraid that something bad would happen to him.

He kept leaking the secret information of the Celestial Dragons to Donquixote Doflamingo.

If the government finds out about this, he will be accused of treason and they will execute him, even if he is a Celestial Dragon, there are people higher than him in authority.

Don Bernardo looked up at the ceiling of the room, smiled sarcastically, and then said:"Is my end near, they will find a lot of evidence that incriminates me if they search well"

Although Don Bernardo hides his steps, they will find evidence against him, the government's intelligence power is something to be reckoned with.

"Wait a minute, why am I just being watched?" When Don Bernardo thought about it well, he found the actions of the people watching him very strange, as if they were not trying to investigate his affairs, but wanted to observe him to see if he knew something.

"Is this possible!" A vague idea appeared in Don Bernardo's mind, no matter what he thought about it. The only suspicious thing that happened recently has to do with the little child who participated in his games. It all started when Sir Tristan came to his mansion and asked about him.

Don Bernardo stood up and headed towards his bedroom, while walking through the long corridors of his palace, he noticed a lot of watching eyes for him among the guards and maids, but he acted as if he didn't know anything and went to his bedroom, after ordering that no one disturb him, he locked the doors and windows.

When he checked the perimeter of his room well and found that no one was watching him, he pushed his huge bed to show a small door in the floor, the small door opened to show a dark hole with a ladder descending to the ground.

Don Bernardo went down the stairs towards a long corridor designed in a primitive way. The corridor was very long and led towards an area a little far from Mary Geoise, he prepared it as an escape corridor in case something bad happened, Don Bernardo carried a small torch and walked through the long corridor.

...…

Near the prison where Arthur was, Don Bernardo stood with his mouth wide open, the prison had disappeared, or rather, there were only some rocks and ruins left of it.

"What's going on?!" Concern began to grow in the heart of Don Bernardo as he walked towards the prison, when he approached him, he found the ground painted blood-red while human corpses were scattered among the rubble.

The corpses were divided between guards and slaves, but what they had in common was that they were slaughtered in a very gruesome way, their open mouths and shocked faces are proof that they did not expect such a miserable death.

Don Bernardo continued to wander among the ruins, not knowing the reason for the massacre, and it is clear that a powerful person exterminated these people.

...…..

"After an unknown time has passed "

Arthur sat in the middle of the darkness while he was surrounded by a slight white light, his body was covered with bandages while his hand and foot were amputated, Arthur's eyes were empty as he looked at the dark ceiling of the room, it had been 7 months and he was in this place, he had suffered all kinds of torment.

The researchers ' experiments and studies did not give them any result and they could not find out the reason for Arthur's ability, which made them increase the intensity of research and experiments, Arthur was subjected to dissection every three days, they opened his body and began to amputate some of his organs, they even cut off some parts of his liver, and removed one of his kidneys.

But the big shock was that his second kidney began to grow again, this caused an increase in the pace of research. The researchers wanted to find out the secret of this ability and copy it in any way possible.

The room in which Arthur was located was very quiet and dark, this darkness was comfortable for him, he began to hate the light, whenever he saw the light, he felt fear and pain in his body, darkness is the safe haven in this place.

During this long time, Arthur lost his sense of time and still does not know how long it has been, although it is only 7 months, Arthur thought it was several years and he began to lose hope of escaping.

His eyes were empty and he no longer thought about anything, only emptiness, the psychological and mental damage he suffered was very severe.

Click!

The usual sound of the door opening and the bright light that began to spread in the room made Arthur's expressions change for fear.

"Noo!"

"No please, no more pain!" Arthur grabbed his head and started talking crazily, his body was trembling and his face was full of signs of shock.

Some guards came forward and grabbed Arthur, who was struggling crazily, but he was weak, so they easily caught him and pulled him hard towards the experiment laboratory, Arthur became incredibly afraid of experiments.

"No, stop, motherfuckers!"

"No more such experiments!"

"You are crazy, you scum bastards!"

Arthur screams and curses as he is dragged towards the laboratory, the guards did not pay attention to his screams and continued to drag him calmly Arthur was not the only person they were experimenting on in this place, so the miserable screams of people like him are a usual thing for them.

They took Arthur to the laboratory, tied him up with belts and cuffed his mouth as usual, while the group of researchers came and began to dissect him happily, they amputated some of his parts a short time ago and he grew completely in just 3 weeks, this is evidence of the development of his regenerative abilities.

The operation went as usual, Arthur's body was opened and some parts of his body were taken away while Arthur was screaming everything he could, when the operation was over, the guards came and dragged Arthur towards his room.

Arthur was an amputee, but even so, the guards pulled him to the ground, which made the amputation place rub against the ground, causing him incredible pain.

Arthur retained some consciousness as he looked at the long white corridor in front of him with blank stares, suddenly he saw a small human form running towards him crazily.

When Arthur could see her clearly, he found that she was a little girl of ten or eleven years old, her long white hair made her a nice and beautiful sight,

Her light brown skin color increased her childish beauty, her small black wings made her look very strange.

'Lunarias sweat' Arthur's eyes were blank even after he learned the gender of this little girl, he was not interested or rather could not pay attention, he was in pain and barely maintained consciousness.

The little girl continued to run in an attempt to escape, but when she found the group of guards carrying Arthur, she panicked and started looking for another corridor, but some guards came from behind and grabbed her, and then they dragged her towards her cell, the girl screaming loudly.

"No, please save me!" The sound of her scream was disturbing and when Arthur's hearing arrived he raised his head and looked towards her, their eyes met and Arthur saw the looks of fear in her kind eyes but his eyes were no different from hers.

.....

[A 3 months later]

Arthur sat in his dark cell while surrounded by white light, his body was full of scars on all sides and his right hand was amputated on the forearm, Arthur used to spend his days with missing parts of his body.

Arthur's looks were like a wounded dog licking his wounds, self-pitying glances as he looks up at the dark ceiling of the room and thinks how pathetic he is,

"It seems that you have become my curse " Arthur looked at the light around him and smiled sarcastically, he began to regain his clarity and was no longer as restless as he was.

Booom!

The sound of a powerful explosion coming from afar made Arthur look around suspiciously.

Booom!

The sound of another explosion made Arthur realize that he was not delirious,

"Is it possible?"Arthur looked at the door of his cell, thinking about the only possible possibility.

"Fisher Tiger!"
