Vol. 05 Ch. 24 – Go To Depth

Before ART Pirate continued their journey, Hancock spent time with her two younger sisters, Robin with her mother, Arthur along with Monet, Ikaros, Sebas, and Saint Adam talking about their underground informant organization. The rest of the ART Pirate crew were busy with their own business. Baby-5 filled their supplies before sailing, Law continued to train with Kuina, Bepo and Sabo were playing together, Sugar and Koala got lots of clothes from Maria.

Their farewell was just a normal dinner like when they first came to Mary Geoise. They are excited because they are going to the legendary island, Fishman island that is 10,000 km underwater. Arthur and Sebas must make sure that the coating and the condition of the ship are in the best condition. Finally, their time of separation came along with the days.

Maria: "You three, thank you for being there for Arthur. And Arthur, watch out if anything happens to my daughters-in-law. " Arthur and the others could only smile and nod at Maria's words.

Arthur: "Calm down mom, we'll be fine. Please take care of your health here. " Everyone finished saying their farewells because they could still communicate with Denden Mushi.

Athena dived again after everyone had finished saying their farewells and boarded the ship. They went back down the cave passage when they entered and the cave door opened again after Arthur pressed the remote button. Before Athena reached a depth of 1,000 meters, they could still enjoy the underwater scenery because the sunlight still reached that depth. But after more than 1,000 meters, the sunlight didn't reach that depth so Arthur activated the Light Dial so they could see where they were moving.

Arthur: "Well, before we get to Fish-Man Island I have something to say. Ikaros, please look around the ship and make sure we don't get off course. " All the crew immediately gathered in the middle of the deck of the ship after hearing Arthur speak.

Ikaros: "Yes, father." Ikaros immediately headed behind the wheel to confirm Arthur's order.

Arthur: "I asked grandpa to find some Devil Fruits I wanted and he managed to get three. The first is Mythical Zoan, Monkey-Monkey Fruit Model: The Monkey King. So those who don't have Zoan-type Devil Fruits and ready for it are Hancock, Law, and Sabo. You three, who wants this fruit? " Arthur took out a devil fruit from his storage ring.

Hancock: "Pass, ask the two of them." Hancock immediately refused after hearing the name of the devil fruit that Arthur took out.

Law: "Captain, I think it's better to give it to Sabo who doesn't have a devil fruit yet, I'll wait for the next one." Law looked at Sabo, who is one of the members who doesn't have a devil fruit except for Bepo and Kuina.

Sabo: "... Does captain know what power this fruit has?" Sabo is not sure whether he wants to eat this devil fruit.

Arthur: "This devil fruit certainly has the same advantages as other Zoan type devil fruits. But this devil fruit likely has the Mythical ability to create a duplicate of you from your hair or increase your ability in comprehension like Monkey-See-Monkey-Do. What is certain is that you will not become weaker after eating this devil fruit except against Water and Seastone." Arthur's explanation made Sabo interested in this devil fruit.

Sabo: "... Alright, captain, if the others don't want it then I'll be happy to eat it." Sabo took the Devil Fruit from Arthur's hand.

Arthur: "With this everyone already has devil fruit, so the next devil fruit is a devil fruit which will be the second devil fruit. Logia type devil fruit, Mist-Mist Fruit. From the name you already know about this devil fruit ability, so, Baby-5, would you like to choose this to be your second devil fruit before we get the Paw-Paw Fruit? " Arthur took out his second devil fruit and turned his attention to Baby-5.

Baby-5: "If the others didn't mind and Arthur asked me to eat it then I wouldn't refuse." Baby-5 is waiting for another response and because everyone is silent agreeing to make Baby-5 agree with Arthur.

Arthur: "Then, Baby-5, you come with me to my lab, you too Ikaros. I want to wake up your first little sister. Sabo, you can eat your devil fruit whenever you want and you can ask the others for their opinion on using Zoan devil fruit. "

Arthur stood up and walked into his lab room followed by Baby-5 and Ikaros. Meanwhile, the others returned to their respective activities waiting until they arrived at Fish-Man Island but Arthur reminded them to stay alert. Sabo chats with Sugar and Koala about their experience of using Zoan devil fruit. Bepo followed Hancock to the wheelhouse. Robin and Monet went to the reading room. Law and Kuina are meditating to strengthen their Kenbunshoku Haki ability.

After Arthur, Baby-5, and Ikaros arrived at the Lab room, Arthur asked and did the same thing as when Robin got her second devil fruit on Baby-5. Even though Arthur had perfected his technique even more, but Baby-5 still felt pain all over her body. Fortunately, the Zoan devil fruit that Baby-5 previously had can reduce the negative effects of the second devil fruit absorption process.

Arthur: "You can lie there until you can stand up. I hope you continue to train your Zoan devil fruit even though you already have the Logia ability. You can train your Logia by learning about mist elements and asking Hancock about her experience using the Logia devil fruit ability. "

Baby-5: "Thanks, Arthur. But I know you're still want to ask something because you didn't untie me. " Sweat still drenched Baby-5's forehead who was lying on the bed due to the second devil fruit absorption process.

Arthur: "I want to know what you meant when on the roof of my house." Several times Arthur tried to ask questions but always failed to get an answer from Baby-5 while at Mary Geoise.

Baby-5: "No specific meaning, like what you just heard." Baby-5 smiled at seeing Arthur's confused expression.

Arthur: "Okay, you can go if you want. I want to wake Nymph up who is next to you. " Arthur untied Baby-5's body and immediately turned his attention to Nymph.

Baby-5: "Nymph?" Baby-5 is confused by the choice of name Arthur for Ikaros's younger brother.

Arthur ignored Baby-5 and went towards a machine where he had loaded the Voice-Voice Fruit devil fruit. With the push of a button, the machine immediately started working and after waiting for a while, a glowing liquid dripped to the Seastone glass. The liquid is a Devil Fruit extract which he will use to make his angeloid get the Devil Fruit ability. If Arthur doesn't use the Seastone glass then the glass Arthur uses will have the devil fruit ability like the first time Arthur experimented.

Baby-5 just sat in bed watching Arthur work and had no intention of leaving. She loved seeing Arthur's serious expression while he was working that make her smiled subconsciously. The Voice-Voice Fruit Devil Fruit Extract was drunk on to the unconscious Nymph by Arthur. After waiting for a while, Arthur immediately used his devil fruit ability to awaken Nymph.

Arthur: "[Soul Art] ..." A ball of light burst out of Arthur's chest which floated up and disappeared into Nymph's body.

Arthur immediately looked very weak even though it wasn't as bad as the first time he used [Soul Art] on Ikaros. Baby-5 immediately ran towards Arthur and held him because she was afraid Arthur would fall to the floor. Ikaros was very interested in this process because with this process she was awakened and could be said to be alive. Finally, Nymph who was lying on the bed capsule opened her blue eyes which look like Arthur's.
