Previously …

Arthur: "Art is an EXPLOSION."

Sebas: ...

Arthur: "[ Omni Art ]"

Clouds covering Sebas's body and after that Sebas suddenly felt a loss of energy in his entire body. The butler uniform used by Sebas was torn apart and his body was only bone. (Ghost Rider). Sebas tried to move his fingers, clenched and opened. Because all of his muscles are gone, his movements feel stiff and slow.

Arthur: "[ Infinite Art ]"

Once again pulled a wad of clouds from his hand and suddenly appeared a large mirror in front of Sebas who made him jump back away from the image seen in the mirror.

Sebas: Art-art devil fruit. Young master Arthur can turn anything into what he considers beautiful and can create something according to his imagination too, so the ability of this devil fruit...

Art is the soul of the artist expressed. While artworks are the result of an artist's soul description even though the artworks that are reproduced are the result of imitating something, but it can still provide an element of beauty and be able to evoke a feeling for the artist and others. The most important thing here is that element of beauty is subjective, everyone has their judgment whether it is beautiful or not.

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

After eating the art-art devil fruit, Arthur began to training his mastery over the ability of his devil fruit and hoped to be able to awaken his devil fruit before he set sail on the open sea. With the talent that Arthur got, made him feel that it wasn't too difficult to practice his devil fruit abilities.

Arthur: "For now I will train the speed of changing things according to my desires and my stamina. Because once create a large mirror with [Infinite Art] make me immediately feel my energy is almost depleted, but [Omni Art] just takes a little effort."

With the ability of [Omni Art], Arthur can release clouds from his hands that can change anything or anyone into something with what Arthur considers to have artistic value. But Arthur could not give life to inanimate objects. For this ability, Arthur needs the least amount of power and the furthest distance of his cloud to reach 5 meters.

While the ability of [Infinite Art] allows Arthur to bring up anything that has artistic value, yes, whatever Arthur considers having artistic value. But after using this ability, Arthur lost most of his energy when he brought up a large mirror for Sebas.

And with [Liberty Art] making all of Arthur's works of art that use the power of the art-art devil fruit to return to their original form.

Arthur also experimented to see how long the objects he had changed and the things he brought up could last. Arthur's devil fruit ability can last as long as he wants, even though Arthur is sleeping or touching sea stone. But when Arthur sparred with Sebas and collapsed, everything that Arthur had previously changed returned to its original form.

Sebas: "So the ability of young master Arthur can last as long as young master Arthur wants even if he sleeps or touching sea stone. But if young master Arthur passes out or loses consciousness without his will then the ability of the young master Arthur's devil fruit will disappear, possibly also when young master Arthur dies."

After Sebas treated Arthur's wounds while he passing out because of hard sparring, Arthur regained consciousness and then tried to stand back and check his body condition.

Sebas: "The young master Arthur's devil fruit ability disappears after you pass out. Is young master Arthur feeling okay?"

Arthur: "There is no problem, so my ability to work as I thought."Arthur thought for a moment and said to Sebas, "Sebas, bring a slave who has committed a great crime here, I want to try another ability of the art-art devil fruit."

Sebas: "Yes, I understand young master Arthur." Sebas disappeared from Arthur's presence and shortly afterward he entered the training room with a slave who was handcuffed and wearing a collar containing a bomb.

Arthur: "Sebas, you should stay away from him a little. [Doom 's Art]"

Arthur removed the sea stone bracelet and touched the slave's shoulder in front of him and suddenly clouds covering the slave's body. The slave tried to resist but was unable to escape. After a while, the cloud disappeared and a naked statue figure appeared in a squatting position while holding hands like he was thinking. Arthur made his abilities based on the artwork of 'The Thinker' created by Auguste Rodin from his previous life. But the face of 'The Thinker' still belonged to the previous slave.

Slave: "What happened to my body?" Shouted the slave who could not move his body.

Arthur: "The ability of [Doom 's Art] will absorb the lives of victims slowly. I want you, Sebas, to calculate how long this ability works. I'm going to the library to finish books that I haven't read." Arthur turned and left Sebas and 'The Thinker'.

Sebas: "Yes, I understand young master Arthur."

Slave: "What are you talking about? Please release me!"

Sebas: "What a devil fruit that I didn't expect ever existed. Young master Arthur is indeed extraordinary, he can think of the use of devil fruit just by the name of the devil fruit and a little information from the last user seen 200 years ago. With the ability of this devil fruit alone can make young masters invincible in the first half of the grand line. I look forward to your progress, young master Arthur."

Arthur, who sat in the library, wrote down the possibility of the power of the fruit of the demon arts to develop. The book was written what Arthur got after experimenting with the ability of his devil fruit.

1. The art-art devil fruit user can change or bring up anything which has a solid form, but can not give life to inanimate things and can not give fantasy abilities. Don't know if in awaken state.

2. The devil fruit user can not change the user's body, its need to awaken the devil fruit first.

3. The ability of the art-art devil fruit remains active even if the user is sleeping or in contact with sea stones.

4. The ability of the art-art devil fruit disappears when the user loses consciousness and dies. Don't know if in awaken state.

5. The distance and speed of changing objects increases according to the user's ability to increase.

Arthur: Right now I can use the abilities of [Omni Art], [Infinite Art], [Liberty Art] and [Doom's Art] that I just tried. The next ability that I think to try next is [Art's room] and [Doom's Day].

Arthur: [Art's Room] the room where I make art. So it's like the ability of [Omni Art] but I made it an attack in all directions. The possibility of the work that I will make is random because I have not been able to focus on several works of art at the same time for my ability.

Arthur: Next, [Doom's Day], the day of destruction, the working system will be the same as [Art's Room]. Where [Doom's Art] will I use in all directions, so that it can attack several victims. And the artwork for this [Doom's Day] ability will be random too, waiting for my ability to improve.

While Arthur was still thinking about how he had developed his abilities, the library's entrance door opened. Sebas walked and approached Arthur's desk to report on the results of [Doom's Art]

Sebas: "Young master Arthur."

Arthur: "Oh, Sebas, what about the slave?"

Sebas: "Slaves who became guinea pigs young master Arthur became a complete statue after 30 minutes. But I think that young master Arthur has to do more experiments to ensure that."

Arthur: "I've also thought about that, but at least the ability that I thought of succeeded. Tomorrow morning after I finish training my body I want some slaves to become my guinea pig."

Sebas: "Yes, of course, I will prepare the slaves who have committed a major crime."

Arthur: "You know what I want, Sebas."
