Vol. 02 Ch. 22 – First impression

Previously ...

Arthur: "I'm home. Robin, Baby-5. I'm fine and sorry I'm a little late."

Robin: "So, where are the 3 sisters you talk about?"

Arthur: "They will come here to Mary Geoise when the time is right, but let me see your face more now." Arthur approached Robin and kissed her forehead.

...

Arthur: "You're great because you are who manage the information network, Robin. And, Baby-5, have you decided your devil fruit? "

Baby-5: "I'm interested in Heal-heal fruit and Ope-Ope fruit. But I am still doubtful, if there is a fruit that can give me the ability to heal wounds or illnesses and improve my fighting abilities then I won't hesitate. "

Robin: "Hm ... there is mythical zoan Bird-Bird Fruit Model: Phoenix will be under your criteria but it will be difficult to get it because this fruit already owned by division captain of the Whitebeard pirate."

...

Arthur: "If there isn't devil fruit that interesting for you, I have devil which a legacy from my father. Do you want it?" After persuading Baby-5, she received the devil fruit from Arthur.

Baby-5: "Ugh ... disgusting. Grandpa Sebas always said there were no bad ingredients because the cooking techniques are bad that produce disgusting food. But this fruit tastes disgusting ... ugh." Baby-5 activated her devil fruit and her appearance changes.

Arthur: "So this truly a mythical type of devil fruit, from her appearance and crown, maybe this is the Butterfly-Butterfly Fruit Model: Fairy Queen."

------------------- ^_^ -------------------

The power of the devil fruit Butterfly-Butterfly Fruit Model: Fairy Queen's the most obvious is that it allows users to switch between fairies and humans as her wish, but Baby-5 has not been able to use its hybrid form so it makes the Baby-5 outfit always look like a transparent white nightgown when she used her devil fruit. One other obvious ability is that Baby-5 can fly easily using wings on her back. She has been proven to be faster than a normal human who can run on land when she is flying. Flying doesn't seem to drain her stamina in any way. And Baby-5 likes the sensations she feels when flying without techniques like [Geppo] which this technique is jumping in the air.

Another ability Baby-5 has is to create and manipulate Fairy Dust. At first, she was not sure about what the fairy dust was for. Then Arthur experimented with the Fairy Dust that Baby-5 created using cruel slaves from Sebas. Arthur made a wound on the slave's body and asked Baby-5 to sprinkle the Fairy Dust to heal the wound. And it could be seen with the eyes that the wound that the slave had slowly closed and ultimately did not leave a scar. Arthur continued his experiments on the limits of healing abilities possessed by Baby-5's fairy dust. Arthur also advised Baby-5 to manipulate the light from her fairy dust to cover her body and make her body invisible, even though she had not succeeded in making her whole body transparent but she was able to make some of her body transparent with fairy dust. Arthur also suggested the possibility that Baby-5 could make her opponents see the illusion according to her wishes.

Baby-5 also seems to be able to communicate with nature. She can hold conversations with animals and although little more difficult, Baby-5 can interact with plants. She just needs to touch plants and concentrate, so she can "communicate" with plants. She can also feel where the roots of plants end, roots that touch the roots of other plants can be a path of communication with other plants. So that with this technique Baby-5 can check the surrounding conditions.

But unlike Zoan's devil fruit in general, Baby-5 felt she did not get any additional physical strength and power in her body. But with the ability to fly and fairy dust that continues to be developed its use that is no problem anymore in hybrid form.

------------------- ?_? -------------------

It's been a year since Baby-5 got the devil fruit. The relationship between the three of them is, of course, getting closer to Arthur who is more open showing interest in Robin and Baby-5. They also don't forget their training every day. Also, Arthur continues to develop Athena's ability with new ideas, Robin continues to read books to increase her knowledge and develop her information network, Baby-5 is now in charge of cooking for the whole house to improve her cooking skills and she doesn't forget to read books about medical science.

Arthur, who is currently 16 years old, still cannot awaken his devil fruit, he has been able to shorten the time needed to changes someone with his devil fruit abilities. The time needed to change someone by changing something is different because the human body is more complex and there is resistance from the body itself. But this time Arthur also increased his control which was able to change a part of his target body like the target skin or other part.

Robin who gets more training than she does in Anime makes her able to bring up large body parts and wings that help her float when falling or increase her movements in the air. Even though she hasn't been able to duplicate herself, but with Rokushiki she has improved her fighting abilities. The technique that Robin uses the most is [Rankyaku] with 2 additional legs so she can immediately make 3 air blades, and by sprout out a hand on the target's back, Robin can use the deadly technique [Shigan] to the target's head. Although Robin has never killed and Arthur does not want to dirty Robin's little hands that are still 11 years old, but Robin and Arthur know that one day she must be able to do it.

Baby-5 is now able to use her hybrid form by just showing her wings to fly and use fairy dust. They only found out now that when Baby-5 turns into the full form of a fairy, her body will return to when she was 6 years shorter 10 cm from her current height of 120cm at the age of 7 years. So they concluded that the full form of the zoan myth Butterfly-Butterfly Fruit Model: Fairy Queen was the first time the fruit was eaten so that it become Baby-5's handicap in her full form. But that doesn't matter because Baby-5 is still able to use its wings and fairy dust in hybrid form. Baby-5 has also been able to use Rokushiki where she likes to rain down [Rankyaku] air blades from the sky when she flies.

Sebas: "Young master Arthur." Sebas called Arthur who was rebuilding his ship.

Arthur: "Sebas, what's up? If it's not important we can talk it later, I'm fixing Athena's jet dial system. " Arthur who continued to focus on his work did not turn towards Sebas.

Sebas: "The 3 sisters you mentioned have come as slaves of Saint Charles."

Arthur: "Hoo ... finally, they came. Have they been branded with Hoof of the Flying Dragon? "

Sebas: "They arrived this morning and they already got it."

Arthur: " Alright, let's meet this future pirate empress. Follow me to this stupid Charles's house, hopefully, he doesn't make things difficult."

Arthur continued to think about how he should give his first impression to the gorgon sisters. He wanted to help Hancock but because she hated the man who was the first she met was a slave trader and sold it to Charles. Although Arthur wanted to take advantage of the situation that Hancock experienced, he also did not want to make them suffer as Charles's slaves.

Arthur: "Looks like I'm lucky." On the way to Charles' house, Arthur saw Charles riding a slave and behind him were three gorgon sisters.

Arthur: "Charles, we haven't seen in a long time."

Charles: "You are ... Arthur, what are you doing here? What do you want?" Seeing Sebas behind him made Charles remember Arthur.

Arthur: "Looks like you got new slaves." Arthur checked Hancock's condition from toe to head.

Charles: "I just got it this morning and I just finished giving them the hoof of the Flying Dragon stamp."

Arthur: "Name your price, I'll buy three of them." Hancock and her 2 younger sisters looked at Tenryubitto with a look of fear and disgust for treating humans like merchandise.
