Not a Chapter

Finally the 2nd volume - Opening Stanza, I can finish it as many as 28 chapters. Thank you to all loyal readers who gave a review or comment or who just quietly enjoyed reading this story. And for those who don't like my writing, please give a review of which parts you don't like and suggestions that can help me make this story better. If you hate this story for no reason or different tastes then I suggest to delete this story from your library or just read silently which is possible there is nothing you can read while waiting for an update of your favorite novels, because everyone has different taste so do I. Once again thanks for all who want to read my story. Although not all of your suggestions will be I take literally, because I write according to what I like to follow my heart as a hobby. If it's not like that, I'm afraid I'll lose the motivation to write because of something I don't like.

As originally planned, Arthur's harem member was Robin and was added by Hancock. Baby-5 and Bellmere are still unclear in the harem status.

Many changes from the outline of my plan, especially at the end of the volume. At first, I did not include the plot of Queen Otohime in Mary Geoise. But after approaching the end of the chapter where Arthur would sail after Fisher Tiger freed the slaves it reminded me of another Fishman plot, namely the plot of Queen Otohime coming to Mary Geoise to get the 'Fish Man's Hope' and starting her campaign on the Ryugu Kingdom of Fishman Island.

For volume 3 - REHEARSAL, short volume with around 10 chapters before Arthur starts his journey, he will meet some people that will make his name known all world. After that, move on to volume 4 where the ART pirates will begin their sailing adventure starting from checking out the 4 Blue Seas.
