Vol. 02 Ch. 24 – Then it’s good

Previously …

Arthur: "All right, let's go to my house and I'll give three slave girls to exchange with the three of them. I'm sure you will offer to exchange them after meeting my slaves. "

…

Arthur: "Sebas, bring me the three most sinful or cruel female slaves.[Art's Room]."

Arthur changes the appearance of 3 female slaves' bodies turned into like Elsa Granhiert from the Re Zero, Mashiro Mai from Dead Tube, and Malty S Melromarc from Rising the Shield Hero.

Charles: "I don't know why you want the three of them, but you cannot ask these 3 slaves to return after this agreement."

…

Arthur: " I will introduce myself first. My name is Phantasm D Arthur or here they know me by the name Amenome Arthur, nice to meet you."

Hancock: "My name is Boa Hancock, and my sister's name is Marigold and Sandersonia."

Robin: "Which one do you want to marry? "

Arthur: "Robin, please don't make things worse with your question."

Robin: "You don't deny my question, so, is she the one with black hair?"

Arthur: "Haha ... I plan to make you become the navigator on my ship later. You have about 2 or 3 years to train, of course, your little sister can train together here and after that, the two of them can go home to Amazon Lily to be the leader there. "

Hancock: "All right, we, the gorgon sisters will train here, if you take my sisters to amazon lily than I will follow your crew as navigator. Maybe I can beat you and make you take us to amazon lily, we don't have many choices after all."

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

Robin: "Are you sure that 2 years is enough for the three of them?"

Arthur: "They have been able to use Busoshoku Haki while their Kenbunsoku Haki is already at the elementary level."

Hancock: "It seems like you know a lot about us? Are you looking for information about us? "

Arthur: "Of course, that's why I want you as my crew member. As an introductory gift, [Art's Room]. " Arthur used his devil fruit ability to erase the Hoof of the Flying Dragon on their backs.

Hancock: "What are you doing?" Feeling a change from her body she immediately took a position ready to fight.

Arthur: "You can check your back, I've removed the damned sign." Arthur just answered casually and drank his tea with a slight smile to Hancock.

Gorgon Sisters: "What?" The pain they still felt after getting the stamp had disappeared and they examined their backs behind the sofa one by one while staring intently at Arthur so he would not peek at them.

Arthur: "And this is your second present, Hancock." Arthur just smiled at their behavior and pulled the devil fruit out of his storage ring.

Hancock: "What's this?"

Arthur: "Do you know what the devil fruit is?" Hancock responded by nodding her head and Arthur continued his explanation. "This is Logia type devil fruit, Cloud-Cloud Fruit, after eating it you will become a human cloud that can become, create and control the clouds. And with this, you can become a better navigator. "

Robin: "So because of this you don't want me to be the Navigator. Is this also your father's legacy? " Robin examined the devil fruit that was like a white grape but Arthur shook his head at Robin's question.

Arthur: "I got it from the Amenome family safe. So, Hancock, I know you hate men because of what you've experienced. But not all men like you think, do you think that women are not as bad as the men you meet? It just so happened that it was Charles who bought you because there Tenryuubito who also a woman. So, think again to whom you are addressing the hatred. " Gorgon sisters can only listen to Arthur's explanation and think about what they should do now.

Robin: "You can use your time here to practice and ascertain who you really hate." Robin stood following Arthur who came out from the living room.

Arthur: "Sebas, we're partying, celebrating my new recruit."

------------------- ?_? -------------------

Hancock did not want to receive help from Arthur so she did not eat the Cloud-Cloud Fruit but she kept it because she knew how valuable the fruit was. Although she was still stubborn, she continued to take part in training to make her stronger and to study meteorology and sea navigation as Arthur had requested. Since Hancock lost to Arthur when sparring, she always challenged Arthur every day but always lost badly.

3 months after meeting with the gorgon sisters, Hancock finally decided to eat the Devil Fruit, the Cloud-Cloud Fruit given from Arthur. Hancock is now more open to Robin and Baby-5 after chatting with each other and getting to know each other for these 3 months. Although her hatred for men began to disappear, Hancock still hated Arthur because she always lost to him. When they first fought, Arthur only used his body strength and weapons without the power of the devil fruit and Haki. But after Hancock ate the Cloud-Cloud Fruit, Arthur had to use Busoshoku Haki to fight her. Despite all the fights Arthur has been through, he still gives some advice on using Cloud-Cloud Fruits so Hancock becomes stronger. And that continued for 6 months but Hancock had never won even once.

Bellmere: "Arthur, it's me, Bellmere." Bellmere's voice comes from den-den mushi that Arthur hadn't heard for a long time.

Arthur: "Oh, Bellmere. How are you? Why have you never contacted me? "

Bellmere: "Eh? ... Hahaha, the contact number you gave me was washed with my uniform so I can't contact you until now." Den-den Mushi's face laughed following Bellmere's expression.

Arthur: "Sigh… So, now you have returned to Cocoyasi because I wrote down my den-den mushi contact number in my letter? Have you quit being a marine? "

Bellmere: "Yes, I arrived at Cocoyasi 2 days ago. At first, I was confused when I got a letter from Nako that he got five years ago, but I was very surprised when I read the contents of this letter. Is it true that you can see the future? "

Arthur: "If what I wrote in the letter is the same as what you experienced then nothing much has changed because of our meeting in Louge Town. How are your two daughters doing? Do they still have a fever from the storm? "

Bellmere: "So you really know the future. Nojiko is fine, but Nami still has a slight fever. Is this why you gave me money last time? And why did you give me this devil fruit, do you know how valuable this fruit is? "

Arthur: "I only know the outline of an uncertain future, a little interference from me then that future will change. Regarding the devil fruit, did you forget your dream when you joined the marine? "

Bellmere: "How could I forget, but because I want to take care of Nojiko and Nami I quit the marine after the failure of my last mission but bring me together with my two daughters."

Arthur: "Because you cannot build a marine base on the island of Cocomi, you need the power of the devil fruit to protect your family, your village and your island."

Bellmere: "Arthur ..."

Arthur: "Hm?"

Bellmere: "Thank you and sorry."

Arthur: "Don't worry, just do what you want."

Bellmere: "Even if I stop being a marine, I still can't go with you."

Arthur: "Yes, I understand."

Bellmere: "Once again, thank you for everything you have done for me. Give my regards to Maria, I will try to contact you every day if it doesn't bother you. "

Arthur: "Yes, I'll be waiting for your story about the past 5 years."

Bellmere: "Yes, me too." She immediately closed the den-den mushi to end their conversation.

Hancock: "Your other woman, Arthur?" Hancock's voice came from behind.

Arthur: "Eh ... Hancock, since when, were you there? How much did you hear? " Arthur was nervous because he hadn't told Hancock about him who knew the future.

Hancock: "If you talk about your ability to know the future, Robin has already talked about it 3 months ago. More importantly, you haven't answered whether she is your other woman? " Although Arthur was surprised because Hancock already knew about it but he was more surprised when Hancock was still questioning about his relationship with Bellmere.

Arthur: "Eto ... We were once close and my mother wanted her to be my first wife but she refused."

Hancock: "Then, it's good, hm." Hancock nodded and immediately left Arthur.

Arthur: "Eh? What is good about it? Hancock. " Arthur chased Hancock with a smile on his face to see Hancock running faster and blushing.
