Olvia: "ANSWER MY QUESTION! *sob* *sob* Is Robin with you? Why is the buster call coming sooner? "

Arthur: "I'm just ready to sail to pick Robin after hearing the news about Ohara. And about why the buster call came so early, I'm the one who should ask you, what did you and the expedition team do after I gave you a warning? "

Olvia: "Eh ...?"

Arthur: "Because you can contact me now, that means you are fine. But the chipper pol and the marines won't care about Ohara before your poneglyph search expedition is caught. I think after from Louge town you divided the team into smaller groups to widen and accelerate the search for poneglyph. "

Olvia: "That's ..."

Arthur: "Maybe because of that you guys became more careless and left many traces. This time you didn't get caught, so the other team got caught earlier. And all of that makes the island of Ohara fall faster. "

Olvia: "So ..."

Arthur: "As I said in Lougetown, Ohara will fall definitely. But because I'm meddling in this matter, there will be a change, whether it makes things happen faster or late. This time in exchange for your safety, Ohara fell faster. The plan I made to save Robin and maybe the Ohara Scholars became useless. I should have prepared all the possibilities but I didn't think about the possibility of Ohara being destroyed faster. Sorry. I will pick Robin up, you can use my vivre card to meet us. "

As the sun began to high up of head, Athena sailed closer to the Calm Belt and Arthur returned to the wheelhouse and press a button again. This time the ship's screen rolled automatically. Arthur put his hand on the speed control lever and pressed the button printed with number 1. The Jet Dial from the first set started actively working. After 50 jet dials are confirmed to be active, Arthur moves the speed lever forward. 1 knot, 2 knots, the speed of the ship continues to increase to a maximum speed of 50 knots. Everyone was shocked by how fast Athena was, but only Maria was standing on the deck facing the wind and screaming excitedly. 2 sets of the jet dial can be used for 6 hours and it takes another 6 hours to cool down the jet dial to prevent the breaking of the shell wall. To cross the calm belt, Athena with jet dial only takes 5 hours and the sun has start set. Arthur decided to rest and continue their sail tomorrow morning before sunrise. Arthur goes down to the lounge room where everyone is sitting and Maria is having fun drinking tea.

Maria: "Arthur, why are we stopping? With that speed, Sebas said that we would arrive in 5 hours. "

Arthur: "Athena can use the jet dial system for 6 hours before the jet dial shell wall starts to crack and it takes 6 hours to be able to use it again. I saved the last hour for emergencies. "

Maria: "But what about Robin?"

Arthur: "Robin was able to survive for one week alone with the marine chasing behind her, I believe that Robin will be fine. Even though I'm also worried about it, it's no good if we just go rushing carelessly without a plan. "

Sebas: "A wise decision, as expected of young master Arthur."

Arthur: "Then we should have dinner early."

After they finished dinner, Arthur began to train his Haki together with Sebas. This time, Arthur had matched Sebas' strength which might be the same as a vice admiral class in the marine HQ. When they feel the night is late, Arthur ends his training and enters the main cabin where Maria is sleeping in bed. Despite already having a child, Maria's appearance still looks like a woman in her early 30s. And what made Arthur shake his head was the clothes worn by his mother. Transparent red nightdress and sexy black underwear which makes any men who see it will be tempted. After fixing Maria's blanket, Arthur immediately slept next to her.

Arthur: Do you think I would touch my mother? Of course not. But it's a different story if she wants it, hehehe.

Arthur: "To whom am I explaining that?"

The morning before sunrise, Arthur had woken up and headed for Athena's mini-gym. There have machines like treadmills, rowing machines, lat pulldowns, pectoral machines, chest presses, leg extensions or leg curls, and lots of barbells. Sebas and the guards who became the ship crew also joined Arthur, they were happy with the equipment owned by Athena. After finishing his morning exercise, he immediately took a shower to freshen up. Maria, who was awake and taking a bath, also joined Arthur and the others for breakfast.

???: "Arthur, I'm now on Thriller Bark west blue, where are you now?"

Arthur: "Good morning, Olvia. Have you had breakfast?"

Olvia: "Can I ask you to be more serious, this is about my daughter's situation?"

Arthur: "Greetings are important. And who says I am not seriously worried about the condition of my future wife? But do you think about the distance between my house and Ohara in West Blue? "

Olvia: "Sorry, good morning, my team and I are at the hotel and one of my team is buying breakfast for all of us."

Arthur: "Good, take care of your health. And for your question, I just crossed the Calm Belt. Regarding Robin, she is probably on the Papaya island, northeast of Ohara. And it takes me about 5 hours to get there. "

Olvia: "5 hours from the Calm Belt to Papaya, how? Never mind ... after this I will follow you to Papaya, maybe the fastest tomorrow I will arrive at the Papaya island."

Arthur: "You'd better stay at Thriller Bark, I'll take Robin there tomorrow. Papaya is the headquarters of one of the five west blue mafia families. "

Olvia: "All right, once again I put my trust in you."

Maria: "Take it easy, I will pick up my daughter-in-law to bring with me go home so that no one will bother her again."

Olvia: "Maria, are you also with Arthur? It will be very difficult to pick Robin up quietly. "

Arthur & Sebas: It's clear that.

Maria: "Olvia, what do you mean by that, you are like saying that I must be causing trouble?

Olvia: "Uh ... of course, that's not what I meant. This is about the West Blue Mafia family. "

Maria: "Oh ..."

Everyone: * sigh * Don't add the problem by make her angry.

Olvia: "See you tomorrow."

Arthur: "After saving Robin I will contact you, see you tomorrow."

After they finished breakfast, this time Sebas was holding Athena's steering wheel. At full speed of 90 km / h, nothing can interfere with their 5-hour journey to the island of Papaya. At the moment Arthur is training his devil fruit, with a piece of the diamond he created, he changed the shape of the diamond. From its initial form, the diamond turns into a statue of a monkey that closes its mouth, then within 2 seconds the diamond again changes into a statue of a monkey that closes its ears, and the next 2 seconds the diamond turns into a statue of a monkey that closes its eyes. Mizaru, Kikazaru, and Iwazaru which are the names of three wise monkeys. The source that popularized this pictorial saying is the 17th century carving on the door of the famous Tōshō-gū temple in Nikkō, Japan. The carving at the Tōshō-gū Temple was carved by Hidari Jingoro. Arthur continues to repeat the shape to practice speed in changing an object. And amid his training, Arthur felt Athena began to slow down.

Arthur: I still can't decrease my time to 1 second.

Sebas: "Young master Arthur, the island of Papaya has been seen."

Arthur: "All right, I and you will go with the small boat that I have prepared."

Maria: "Wait a minute."

Arthur: "I beg of you not to come, mother, we will not take long."

Maria: "You have to wear these clothes to give Robin a good first impression."

Arthur: "Eh?"

Maria carries a white military suit with gold buttons and black thigh-high boots. Plus a black belt and long robe with a white headgear and has a gold chain decoration. (Owari no Seraph of the End - Mikaela Hyakuya). Sebas who knew that they should not draw attention could only shake his head at the choice of Maria's clothes.

Arthur: "But mom ... okay."

Maria: "Hmm" Maria nodded happily with Arthur's decision.

Arthur pulled out a small boat from his storage ring and Sebas began to paddle away toward Papaya island. Arthur who approached the harbor of the island, covered his face using the coat and by using the power of his devil fruit he changed the color of his clothes to brown and black to reduce the attention of residents around. After tying their boat, Sebas followed Arthur, who walked towards the crowd of the market. When he wanted to take out his compass, Arthur saw a hand emerge from the fruit shop stall next to the alley between buildings. The hand took some fruit and threw the fruit into the alley.

Arthur: "I'm really lucky, maybe the use of this compass will decrease. And who says she has to hide away from the crowd if she easily hides in the crowd despite having a bounty. "
