Vol. 05 Ch. 14 – I Refuse

It has been four years since Arthur left Mary Geoise and set sail to form ART Pirates. Arthur doesn't care about One Piece or the title Pirates King, he just wants to see the contents of the world that previously only he saw in the form of stories by Eiichiro Oda. Of course, Arthur doesn't want to go on an adventure alone, he wants to approach the female character he likes in the One Piece series and now he still likes to be his wife, *cough* his wives.

That way, the next dream is to make his wives happy by realizing their dreams. Knowing about Void History, abolishing the slavery system, and forming a large family which his third wife's dreams. But Arthur also didn't forget the other ART Pirate members, he also wanted to be able to help them realize their dreams. The number one swordsman in the world, the greatest doctor who can cure many patients, an adventure in search of freedom, and a search for beautiful bears are some of the dreams of other ART Pirate members.

This time the next destination of ART Pirate is Fishman Island. However, before that, they would stop at the Sabaody Archipelago to drop off Belo Betty and Arthur decided to go home for a moment. If Arthur didn't come home when he stopped at the Sabaody Archipelago then his mother Maria might come to see him and cause new problems, bigger problems.

After successfully escaping from Impel Down, ART Pirate continues to sail so that it cannot be pursued by the marine. The sun began to rise to mark a new day for them.

Hancock: "We'll arrive at the Sabaody Archipelago in the afternoon." Hancock made sure Athena was in the right direction.

Arthur: "That's great then. Baby-5, please prepare breakfast soon. I haven't eaten since last night." Arthur saw the others were still resting because Arthur asked them all not to practice this morning.

Baby-5: "It'll be ready, young master Arthur." Baby-5 goes to the kitchen after getting orders from Arthur.

Robin: "The three of us are going to take a shower and you have to come." Robin who stood together with Hancock and Monet gave orders to Arthur that he could not possibly refuse.

Arthur: "Hem, great idea. I can't miss it. " When he saw Hancock, Robin, and Monet walking to the bathroom, Arthur got up from his seat and followed the three of them.

After enjoying his time in the large bathtub that was big enough for the four of them to do activities, Arthur walked out with a satisfied and refreshed face to the dining table where the ART Pirates were sitting chatting and jokingly waiting for breakfast time. Not long after, Hancock, Robin, and Monet also came out of the bathroom with glowing faces and smiles with satisfaction.

Seeing Arthur and the three women coming out of the bathroom made Belo Betty stare narrowly at the four of them. Belo Betty realized that this was nothing new because the other ART Pirate members were acting normal and it seemed like they had known this for a long time.

Betty: "Tch, trash." Said Belo Betty softly.

Everyone: "Itadakimasu."

Everyone starts breakfast when there are no vacant seats. The food that Baby-5 cooked was so delicious that Bepo and Sabo fought over the food. Baby-5's cuisine is arguably no less than Attack Cuisine, which is a special type of cuisine that can only be prepared through a recipe found in the Kamabakka Kingdom.

Everyone: "Gochisousama-Deshita." Say everyone with satisfied smiles from the delicious food on the table this morning.

Robin: "Arthur, you can tell me the results you got from Impel Down." Robin started to open the conversation with a glass of coffee in his hand.

Arthur: "I got 4 of the 5 Devil Fruits I wanted from Impel Down level-six prisoners." Arthur took out four Devil Fruits from his storage ring on the clean dining table.

Hancock: "Then we have to find the Devil Fruit that you failed to get."

Arthur: "That's not necessary, actually I only wanted these four Devil Fruits, while the one I failed to get was just a backup if we had new members. So that's not my priority. But what I want the most are these four. " Arthur replied to Hancock's concern.

Monet: "So, what fruit did you get and who is this Devil Fruit you are planning for?" Now it's Monet's turn to ask out of curiosity.

Arthur: "These two Devil Fruits were planned for Ikaros's younger sisters."

Ikaros: "Father wants to have another child ...?" Ikaros's question made Belo Betty, who initially didn't care about Arthur's affairs and talks about Devil Fruits, immediately glared at him.

Betty: "Trash, I couldn't help thinking that you were really trash."

Arthur: "Sigh ... whatever you think, but Ikaros is my creation and we already consider her like family." Arthur sighed after hearing Belo Betty's words.

Betty: "I'll go out first, I want to get some fresh air before I get some more rest because I haven't got fresh air in the prison and not slept all night." Betty immediately went out onto the deck of the ship, not curious and unconcerned about ART Pirates' internal affairs.

Monet: "So what is this Devil Fruit?" Monet asked again about the previous conversation.

Arthur: "Voice-Voice Fruit and Clank-Clank Fruit. These two paramecia-type Devil Fruits are what I want for Ikaros' younger sisters, so I'll explain when I can use [Soul Art] to awaken Ikaros's younger sister. "

Baby-5: "I hope young master Arthur doesn't fall as weak as he first created Ikaros." Baby-5 felt worried after remembering the first time Ikaros appeared.

Arthur: "No need to worry, I know my mistake beforehand. So, these two Devil Fruits I will keep for a while. " Arthur returned to saving Voice-Voice Fruit and Clank-Clank Fruit into his storage ring.

Robin: "Then, what is this Devil Fruit and for whom, because those who don't have devil fruit are Bepo, Sabo, and Kuina?" Robin took one of the remaining devil fruits in front of Arthur.

Arthur: "This is a More-More Fruit, a paramecia type Devil Fruit. And in your hand is the Mythical Zoan, Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Nine-Tailed Fox. I'm planning to give More-More Fruit to Baby-5 and Nine-Tailed Fox to Monet. "

Monet: "Can you tell us the power of these two Devil Fruits?" Monet grabs the devil fruit Arthur had planned for her.

Arthur: "Apart from the usual Zoan-type devil fruit power, the special ability that is known about the Nine-Tailed Fox is the user being able to transform into other people, allowing you to disguise yourselves as them and even the clothes of the target person you can imitate during transformation. But I think it's more than that, I think Nine-Tailed Fox can transform into anything because at first, it's not human. " Arthur's brief description of the Dog-Dog Fruit Devil Fruit, Model: Nine-Tailed Fox.

Monet: "If what you said last was true then it would really help me if I wanted to infiltrate with my first Devil Fruit, Swap-Swap Fruit. Of course, the zoan type devil fruit power will already help me get stronger. " Monet agrees with Arthur's plan regarding the Paramecia and Zoan Devil Fruits which make him a stronger, undetectable assassin.

Arthur: "And for More-More Fruit, this Paramecia-type Devil Fruit has the ultimate power which allows the user to increase the speed, power, and size of the object the user touches, up to 100 times the original or maybe more. With this devil fruit alone, you can make a lot of trouble for the Vice-Admirals if you can use it well. And I think that if you succeed in awakening this devil fruit then you will not only affect the thing you touch but also yourself. Imagine if you were very fast using [Soru] and with this fruit, you could be 100 times faster or more. I want to give this fruit to Baby-5 as her second devil fruit. " The devil fruit that Arthur explained this time took everyone by surprise with this devil fruit ability.

Baby-5: "Sorry, young master Arthur. But I will refuse to use this devil fruit. " Baby-5's words made everyone even more shocked by rejecting this very powerful devil fruit.
