Vol. 04 Ch. 26 – Experiment

Koala: "How I do it?"

Arthur: "Eh?" Koala's answer made him off guard

Koala: "How can I prevent the incident that I experienced from happening again?" This time, Koala's question impressed Hancock and Robin.

Hancock: "Looks like you're not just a grim kid."

Arthur: "Hancock, can you show it to her?"

Hancock: "Why do you always make this cursed sign a spectacle?" Even though Hancock grumbled, she still showed her back to Koala.

Arthur: "I know that you also have it." Arthur pointed to the Hoof of the Flying Dragon in Koala's body.

Robin: "Before we came to recruit you, of course, we knew all the information about you. If not, then Arthur will not randomly recruit you." Robin answered Koala's curious expression of how they knew that.

Arthur: "I will train you until you have the power to make your dreams come true, we will also help you make them come true, in return, you will also help realize our dreams. The greater your dreams, the more obstacles. Also, do you want to meet the Sun pirates again?"

Koala: "Are you strong?" Koala still doesn't trust Arthur.

Robin: "These are the wanted posters of all the Art Pirates crew members." Robin gives Koala their latest wanted poster.

Koala: "Alright, help me get rid of slavery and heavenly tribute."

Arthur: "Of course, welcome to the Art Pirates. From now on I am your captain. "

Robin: "First mate, Nico Robin. Nice to meet you."

Hancock: "Boa Hancock, I am Arthur's first wife and Robin his second wife. Immediately pack the items that you need to bring, we will continue our journey. "

Koala: " Nice to meet you, my name is Koala. I just need to bring some clothes so it won't take long. "

That way, the members of the Art Pirates crew increased. Arthur began to form strength to help realize his dreams. The important figures of the future were recruited by Arthur that will make the future different from those in the anime. Arthur was not afraid of that because he had already made plans from the knowledge of future events and backup plans for any plans that may fail. After Koala packed her clothes and said goodbye to her family, she followed Arthur back to Athens where the other members were waiting. The celebration party of Koala's joining was a time when they all got to know each other. Arthur decided to continue his journey the next day after they bought supplies that had run out.

Hancock: "So, where was our first destination in East Blue? Are we following the direction of Robin as before in West Blue? " Hancock asked their next definite destination.

Arthur: "No, we are going to Dawn Island for our first destination in East Blue."

Robin: "You haven't told us about your plans when we were in East Blue."

Arthur: "I might need a few months until we start the poneglyph search expedition in East Blue. The rough plan I have is that we spend 2 years in each of the Blue Seas and after that, we start exploring Paradise. During that time you must have the strength to survive in paradise. " Arthur pointed at Sugar, Law, Bepo, and Koala.

Bepo: "Yes, captain."

Law: "6 years ...?"

Koala: "Can I do it?"

Sugar: "Take it easy, as your seniors I will look after the three of you."

Arthur: "Koala, I know this won't be easy, but I will teach you Fishman Karate if I think you are ready." Arthur tried to encourage the Koala.

Koala: "Thank you, captain."

Robin: "Do you want to be a devil fruit user? If so then you should tell Arthur after choosing the devil fruit you want. " Robin tried to help Koala to become stronger.

Koala: "Don't people who eat devil fruit become unable to swim? How can I practice Fishman Karate? " Looks like Koala is very excited when talking about Fishman.

Hancock: "Don't worry, Arthur might be able to get rid of the devil fruit curse, right?" Hancock really wanted to be able to swim again like when she was little.

Arthur: "I don't know, I don't dare say yes I can. I think the curse of the devil fruit is more towards the user's soul than the body. But I will try to prepare some things that can help you. " Arthur immediately created a laboratory room to test his abilities.

At first, Arthur wanted to capture Cesar to help him create objects that eat devil fruit. But because the abilities of the awakened Art-Art Fruit exceeded his expectations, Arthur continued to practice that ability. Arthur has been able to change the Lineage Factor in animals so that it becomes stronger or has other abilities such as poisoning with toxic saliva. It's just that the rat eventually died of its own poison before Arthur perfected his technique. And Arthur's last discovery was to turn an iron block into a Sea Stone by changing the composition and structure of the atom, but he still could not do anything with the Sea Stone he created because Art-Art Fruit's ability could not be affected after the iron became Sea Stone.

Whereas his experiments with the devil fruit were easier than Arthur thought. Arthur has successfully combined the Gatling gun with the Bird-Bird Fruit Model: Pigeon to create a pigeon that can fire consecutive bullets from his mouth. But so far Arthur has only been able to use zoan type devil fruit because this devil fruit carries the Lineage Factor from the beast which is the power of the devil fruit. For zoan artificial devil fruit, Arthur has also been able to create it just by preparing an ordinary fruit.

Arthur: "This is more like following what Vegapunk has found, but this has also become a form of my training. And now I will try to make a user with 2 devil fruits. "

Arthur prepares two devils and two other ordinary fruits that are similar to keep his devil fruit from reappearing if the subject of the experiment dies. Arthur made his experimental animals eat devil fruit and he watched over the animal's Lineage Factor with the power of Art-Art Fruit. After the animal has become a devil fruit user, Arthur makes him eat the second devil fruit. Arthur watched the animal's Lineage Factor very focused so as not to miss anything. And soon the animal swelled until it finally exploded, the ordinary fruit that Arthur had prepared turned into the devil fruit he had used.

Arthur: "Eating 2 devils will indeed explode. The first try with zoan and paramecia type devil fruit failed. The second devil fruit wants to change the Lineage Factor part which changed by the first devil fruit, and the first one rejects it. So all of this is because the user's body DNA is not strong enough to withstand the impact of 2 devil fruit energy. So the possibility that might work is to strengthen Lineage Factor or change the structure of Lineage Factor by using the power of Art-Art Fruit so that 2 devil fruit energies successfully merge in the same Lineage Factor. " Arthur continues to experiment to be able to eat 2 devils.
