34 Vol. 02 Ch. 13 – Deal
Previously …
Arthur made 6 sets of AKATSUKI robes with hood and ANBU masks from Naruto anime. Arthur wore a cat mask, Maria chose a fox mask, Sebas chose a wolf mask and the rest were worn by 3 Arthur's crew.
…
Kuzan: "Yesterday morning, Chipper Pol reported the presence of one of the people from the Nico Olvia team and it was suspected that Nico Olvia was also in Thriller Bark so the World Government and Marine HQ ordered me to arrest Nico Olvia. But I didn't expect Nico Robin managed to escape from the island of Papaya within one week, this must be because of you, eto ... Leonardo D Vinci-Kun?"
…
Arthur: "[Art's Room]"
Kuzan: "So long as I stay still from where I am within your reach for 2 seconds, your Devil Fruit ability can work. In that case, [Ice Block: Partisan] "
Arthur: "Don't be happy yet, [Omni Art]"
This time Arthur uses [Omni Art] which can focus on attacking Kuzan and only takes less than 1 second for his ability to work. Kuzan was slightly off guard and within 0.5 seconds his body turned into a strange shape (Kuzan's super Penguin – 'Camel').
------------------- ^_^ -------------------
Olvia: "Ara ... that's so cute."
Arthur: "Hm, so, Kuzan, can you still use your Logia devil fruit ability?"
Kuzan: "[Ice Block: Partisan]" Penguin (Kuzan) looks very shocked and scared of his current condition.
Kuzan tried to use his devil's fruit but nothing happened. Arthur had already tried his devil fruit's ability with Zoan and Paramecia users, and indeed they couldn't use their devil fruit's ability when their body changed. The Devil Fruit Paramecia Art can change the shape and function of its target, so Arthur thinks that if the body of a Devil Fruit user changes, the function of his Devil Fruit in target's body will also disappear. From the start, Arthur had thought that because seeing in the One Piece anime Punk Hazard arc when Franky was in Chopper's body and was able to use Chopper's devil fruit abilities.
Kuzan: "Arara ... what should I do now? [Busoshoku: Koka], I can still use it. " Kuzan tried to cover up his shock by still not giving up and continuing his attack.
The penguins (Kuzan) wanted to make a quick move and attacked Arthur with its blackened fins due to Busoshoku Haki but because his new short legs made him fall and this sight made everyone who saw him laugh out loud. After trying several times jumping and attacking makes the penguin (Kuzan) out of breath and gasps collecting his breath. He seemed to want to cry seeing Arthur and the others laugh out loud.
Arthur: Haki is more towards the spiritual power and instincts of one's soul, so of course he can use it but it will be different from when using his real body. Look, his breath is irregular and his stamina must be running out by now.
Kuzan: "Can we talk clamly now? How can I get my body back?" Kuzan finally gave up and tried to talk to Arthur.
Arthur: "Of course it depends on my will, so do you want to stop and sit?"
Kuzan: "Yes, please, I have no other choice." Kuzan looks really do not know what he should do with his body, even though he returned to HQ, he might not be able to restore his body.
Arthur: "Can you free the five of them?" Arthur points to the 5 ice statues in the harbor.
Kuzan: "Of course, but the problem of their lives is that I don't know because in that condition their breathing stopped."
Arthur: "All right, let's sit down." Arthur pulled out a table and 5 chairs for all of them to sit down but still laughing with a penguin trying to sit on the chair.
During the Arthur and Kuzan battles, Kuzan continued to move so that they were now on the hilltop next to the harbor where several places had frozen and there were craters from their battle. Arthur, Kuzan, Maria, Olvia, and Robin sat in the chair Arthur had prepared but none of them started the conversation. After a long silence between the five of them, Robin began to open the conversation.
Robin: "Can you let him go?" Robin asks Arthur to free Kuzan because she feels she is indebted to him.
Arthur: It seems like my heart is still too weak to kill my opponent, plus the look in Robin's eyes that makes me unable to refuse him. I have to train my emotions after this.
Arthur: "Sigh... I want to talk to you because I know you were the one who made Robin get to Papaya Island safely and she also wants to let you go. After this, Robin won't have any debt to you and I don't want to see you trying to hunt Robin again. I will return your body to its original form if you let us go." Arthur said after putting back his glass of tea.
Kuzan: "We?"
Arthur: "Yes, all of us."
Kuzan: "I have orders to arrest Olvia alive or dead."
Arthur: "All right."
Robin: "Arthur!" Arthur raised his hand to stop Robin from continuing.
Arthur: "The Olivia's team members might not be able to survive, so I will leave the bodies to you and Olvia for one condition to keep our identities a secret."
Kuzan: "Arara ... You want to sacrifice Olvia in exchange for your safety."
Olvia: "I agree as long as Robin can survive."
Robin: "Mama ... I don't want to be separated from mama anymore. If you can make it happen I want to do anything for you, I also want to be your wife ... one of your wives "
Maria: "Robin, trust him."
Arthur: "So what your call? Do you agree or want to continue being a penguin? "
Kuzan: "Alright, I didn't get an order to catch Robin and I also don't want to remain as a penguin." Kuzan can immediately answer Arthur's question.
Arthur: "First, you must release the five of them now." Kuzan nodded and all the ice he created immediately melted into water.
Arthur: "Olvia, come with me. Kuzan, wait 15 minutes here with the three of them and after that, you can meet me at the port to finalize our agreement. "
Robin: "Mama!" Robin jumped up and hugged Olvia and didn't want to let go while crying out loud.
Olvia: *sob* "Robin, don't be angry with Arthur. I will gladly sacrifice everything for your safety. So you have to live and move forward to reach your dreams. You will not feel alone, I know it. "
Arthur: "Mother, please." Maria immediately made Robin pass out and carried her before she fell to the ground.
Olvia: "Please take care of Robin." Olvia immediately followed Arthur to the harbor where they first met.
Kuzan: "Arara... Do you let him sacrifice Nico Olvia?" Not the answer he received but the kick from Maria which he received on his face because both of Maria hands were used to carry Nico Robin.
Maria: "What arara, you bastard? If not my darling Robin who wants to let you go, I will kill you because you participating in buster call which destroys Ohara. Maybe we can cut off your hands or legs, do you still have the other leg which I can cut off in your form now?" Maria gives a sadist laugh which makes Kuzan more afraid than anything he remembers.
And after 15 minutes of silence, the penguin (Kuzan) immediately stood up and run with his short legs towards the harbor. From a distance, he saw three coffins in the place where the 5 ice statues had been. Penguin (Kuzan) tries to find Arthur with his Kenbushoku Haki and finds him in a bar right next to the harbor. He wanted to go to the bar to restore his body, but when he was right next to the coffin he changed back to his original body. Kuzan tried his devil fruit ability and successfully used it. Ignoring Arthur he opened the 3 coffins and saw the bodies of Nico Olvia and 2 of his teammate. Kuzan examined the corpses of 3 people in front of him and did not see anything strange so he immediately beheaded the 2 people of the Olvia team and put their heads in a bag. Kuzan only took Olvia's whole body and run to his ship to return to the marine base immediately.
-------------------? _? -------------------
Robin: "Mama!"
Robin woke up and saw that he was in Arthur's cabin, he tried to remember the incident before he was unconscious. Robin immediately cried loudly continued to call her mother repeatedly. Arthur who heard Robin woke up immediately opened the door of the room and came in to see Robin who was sobbing.
Robin: *sob* "I will not be angry with you but I will not forget your decision to sacrifice my mother." Arthur who saw Robin's behavior just smiled.
Arthur: "Mother! Olvia! Robin is awake."
Robin: "Eh?" Robin was confused by Arthur who shouted, but immediately understood after seeing 2 people who entered the room.
Maria + Olvia: "Robin." They immediately hugged Robin from both sides making Robin look confused.
Arthur: "I am not a good person and can sacrifice anyone or anything to achieve my goals, but I will not sacrifice my family for anything."
Robin immediately cried again after realizing that this was not a dream, but this time it was a happy cry. Arthur and Maria who saw the mother and daughter decided to give the two of them time and go outside. After Olvia tried to calm Robin who kept crying finally succeeded after 5 minutes Robin cried.
Olvia: "Calm down, I will not leave you again, Robin. So stop crying. "
Robin: *sob* "Hm ... I also don't want to be separated from mama anymore."
Olvia: "Of course we will continue together, so calm down."
Robin: "But how come?"
Olvia: "After you were unconscious ..."
{Olvia's POV}
Although not for long, at least I know that Robin will be fine, but can I entrust Robin to Arthur? And without me knowing I was in the harbor again. Arthur moved 5 of our friends' bodies to a quieter place and examined them and it turned out that 2 of my friends and Arthur's crew doctor were not alive anymore. I can only follow him from behind because I was resigned to the fate that I will receive. But Arthur still kills the last survivor from his crews that make me confused.
Arthur: "I want you to remove all your clothes."
I was more confused by Arthur's request but I still wait for him to explain it. Arthur immediately closed his eyes with one hand touching the doctor's forehead. Soon the doctor's body changed, the color of his skin began to darken and his hair began to turn white like mine. Even his face also changed to mine.
Arthur: "Why you did not take off all the clothes you wear?"
Olvia: "Eh?"
Arthur: "There are your new clothes. I just changed the color of her skin, hair, and facial structure. From the start, I was looking for this crew member who had the same height, body posture, and blood type as you. I gave the criteria to Sebas to be prepared to provide a replacement body for you if the situation requires. "
I immediately understood Arthur's plan and went behind the tree to change my clothes. After that, I changed my 'corpse' clothes in my old clothes. Arthur put the three bodies into a coffin and returned them to their places, the two of us went to the bar to order some supplies that we would need for the next cruise.
Olvia: "Why didn't you tell us your plans?"
Arthur: "I can't possibly talk about it in front of Kuzan, and before I forget [Omni Art]." Arthur changed the color of my hair and my skin.
Olvia: "Robin will blame you."
{End of Olvia's POV}
At first, Arthur also wanted to make a replacement body for Nico Robin but he rejects the plan. If in the future suddenly Nico Robin who has been declared dead reappears, then Nico Olvia will also be dragged back.
Olvia: "... so that's what happened."
Robin: "I must apologize to Arthur."
