Vol. 05 Ch. 04 – Artistic Body

More than a year ago, Arthur managed to awaken his Devil Fruit, the Paramecia type Art-Art Fruit. The power that arises after that allows Arthur to change anything, yes, anything both in form and function according to Arthur's will, even a person's life. But that doesn't mean Art-Art Fruit has no weaknesses because basically, it's still a Devil Fruit, although Arthur can create Sea Stone but he can't do anything about Sea Stone with Art-Art Fruit. Also, Art-Art Fruit worked with direct contact or the wisps of clouds that Arthur created, so if Arthur or the cloud did not touch his target then Art-Art Fruit could not work.

Another strength that is not inferior is that Arthur can create something from nothing as long as it is not something with life. Where his best creation is Angeloid-Ikaros, with references from the anime Sora no Otosimono where he also combines Angeloid with Devil Fruits. Not only that, by creating Ikaros with all his soul, Arthur managed to put his soul into Ikaros so that she looked like an ordinary living human except that there were wings on her back. Ikaros was created with high specifications giving her a strength that was not inferior to the others.

With his ability, Arthur is able to change DNA or what is called the Lineage Factor so make Robin able to survive and receive the second changes from the Devil Fruit that Robin eats. Although there are still some risks that can occur, but all of them are overcome by Arthur with the results of his experiments it this last year. Nico Robin is now stronger by having the power of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit especially the Mythical Zoan Bird-Bird Fruit Model: Siren. With Zoan's body plus the Mythical ability of sound-type attacks and Flower-Flower Fruit, her strength was beyond doubt.

Arthur: "Are you getting better?" Arthur asked after seeing Robin trying to get up and stand up.

Robin: "Even though my strength hasn't recovered 100%, I'm already strong enough to move. Is it because of the Zoan-type Devil Fruit regeneration ability? " Robin tried to stretch and clenched her fists.

Arthur: "After your powers return, you can try the full form and hybrid Siren form. If you feel that something is wrong then you should tell me right away. "

When Robin got her new strength, Athena was already sailing near Lougetown and the Marine in Lougetown has started sailing to the Marine HQ, Marineford on the Grand Line. Where after that they will use the Tarai Current to reach Impel Down. Seen a fleet of three Marine warships that went sailing to take RA East Army's Commander, Belo Betty to Impel Down. On one of the warships, there were many people dressed in neat black suits preparing.

CP 3 and CP 7 were ordered to join this fleet so that they could overcome the high ranking RA officers who wanted to rescue Belo Betty. Not many know about the presence of CP in the fleet this time around, only Vice Admiral Doberman and several Rear Admirals are aware of this plan. But until they approached Marineford nothing happened, even though some pirates were seen but they were easily overcome by this Marine fleet.

Robin: "Arthur, why don't we just attack the fleet and you disguise yourself as the Vice Admiral in charge of handing over Belo Betty to Impel Down?" Robin asked, pointing at the Marine battleship they were following.

Arthur: "How could I think that this person's appearance has artistic value?" Arthur shows the photos of Vice Admiral Doberman to the others.

Monet: "Is not your strength able to manifest whatever you want?"

Arthur: "With the power of Art-Art Fruit, I can turn anything into art, things that have artistic value, things that I think are beautiful, interesting and I like it. But sorry, my imagination hasn't been strong enough to think that this figure of Osan with a mustache and full-wounds face is a beautiful thing. " Arthur placed a photo of Vice Admiral Doberman on the table, bringing the others to change their focus to the photo.

Sabo: "If he was given goggles like this it might be better." Sabo took out a marker and started scribbling on the Doberman's photo.

Sugar: "He should have worn the Doberman-hood like his name." Sugar grabbed the marker from Sabo's hand.

Bepo: "His face is too serious, so it's better for him to smile." Now Bepo also joined in scribbling photos of Doberman.

Ikaros: "What if father just turned into her, Belo Betty the prisoner?" Ikaros's question made Hancock, Robin, and Monet glare at Arthur who suddenly stood up.

Arthur: "..." Arthur was surprised because he was confused why it had not occurred to him.

Robin: "Fufufu ... Do you think Belo Betty's body is beautiful, Ar~thur ...?" Robin laughed and asked a question that made Arthur scratch the back of his head and smile limply.

Hancock: "I remember that you wanted to invite her to join us when you first met her." Hancock closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair.

Monet: "Did I lose to that woman, Arthur?" Monet stood up and hugged Arthur from the side until Arthur's arms sank in Monet's cleavage.

Arthur: "I'm not going to lie to say that I'm not interested in her appearance, but my heart says that she's not for me." Arthur nodded and said in a normal tone that made the three of them just let out a deep sigh.

Baby-5: "So how did young master Arthur change his plans?" Baby-5 helps Arthur by returning to the original conversation.

Arthur: "Baby-5 will come with me using [Fairy Dust] so that neither of us can be seen. And with the [Mark] that Monet had built on the rear deck of one of the Marine's battleships, Monet could move my position and Baby-5's. After I turned into Belo Betty and replaced her who was caught then Baby-5 and she could go back to Athena and all of you catching up to Impel Down. " While Arthur explained his plan, Sabo, Sugar, and Bepo were still having fun scribbling photos while Law also had a separate conversation with Kuina.

Kuina: "Law, why do you think the three of them want to share a Captain and stay friendly with each other?" Kuina, who was starting to grow up, started to think about this.

Law: "The captain has a unique charisma and he's strong. But if the three of them want, I can divide the Captain into three parts. " Law's first sentence made Kuina understand and nodded in agreement, but hearing his last sentence made Kuina stunned and could not say anything even though her mouth was open.

It took about a week for them to sail to Marineford. After Marineford was spotted from Athena, Arthur ordered Bepo to stop the ship and wait for the right time to infiltrate and release Belo Betty. Meanwhile, the CP members who were in charge of trapping RA members and high-ranking officers returned empty-handed because no one tried to save Belo Betty so they went on to the next mission.

In the prison of the warship of Vice Admiral Doberman that has anchored at Marineford.

Betty: * Achoo * "Why do I have a bad feeling lately like someone keeps talking about me. Sigh ... I want to smoke. When will they release me? "
