One Piece: Getting Stronger by Writing a Diary

"Miss Hina..."

Raki looked at Hina with some emotion.

The words that had appeared before Hina had not been hidden from Raki, so she had naturally seen them as well.

They made Raki feel deeply moved, and she instinctively wanted to help Hina somehow.

However, after considering that Hina might prefer to be alone, she abandoned the idea.

"I understand. I'll go gather everyone."

Leaving those words behind, Conis turned and departed from the lookout.

Before long, everyone had assembled in the dining hall.

"Conis, what's going on so late at night?"

"Did an enemy appear?"

Nami asked suspiciously while wearing her pajamas.

"Are we about to fight?"

Tashigi rested a hand on the hilt of her sword, her expression quite solemn.

The other crewmates also immediately became serious.

Seeing that everyone had misunderstood, Conis hurriedly waved her hands.

"No, it's nothing like that. Captain told me he drew a template, so he wants everyone to gather and witness it."

As soon as she finished speaking, startled cries echoed throughout the room.

"Captain obtained another template?" Uta asked. "When did that happen? There wasn't anything about it in the voyage diary."

"It must have happened recently," Carina said. "Captain probably didn't have time to record it in the diary."

"How intriguing. I wonder what kind of template Captain obtained this time," Robin remarked.

Nojiko looked curiously at Conis. "Is this template suitable for Miss Raki?"

"That's right." Conis smiled. "Captain already told me about it. This template is indeed suited to Raki."

Although Conis did not say it aloud, deep inside, she sincerely hoped that Raki—another person who had descended from a Sky Island alongside her—would receive a template as well.

Now that Arton had truly drawn one suited to Raki, Conis was naturally delighted.

"That's wonderful." Uta clapped her hands. "Where is Captain now?"

"Um..." Conis scratched her cheek awkwardly. "He's talking with Raki right now. They should be here soon."

As soon as she finished speaking, footsteps came from outside the door.

The door opened, and Arton walked inside looking refreshed, accompanied by Hina and Raki, both of whom had flushed faces.

"Hina, you're finally awake!"

Tashigi hurried forward excitedly.

"Mm. I just woke up. Sorry for making everyone worry."

Hina spoke apologetically.

"It doesn't matter. Waking up is what matters."

Tashigi shook her head.

"Miss Hina, we prepared food for you. Come and have some."

Conis pointed toward a nearby table.

Hina did not refuse.

The table was not far from everyone else, so she did not feel uneasy about sitting slightly apart.

In fact, keeping a little distance from Arton and the others was probably the best choice right now.

After all, Arton might later activate the voyage diary's continuous livestream function.

Should the female Marines who possessed voyage diary copies learn that Hina was currently aboard Arton's ship, they might be able to deduce his approximate location.

That was the last thing Hina wanted.

She had only just found an emotional anchor in Arton after so much difficulty. No matter what happened, she did not want to see him harmed.

[Arton's Voyage Diary]

[After so many days, I finally drew another template through the lottery.]

[It just happens to be a template suited to Raki. It seems my luck really is quite good.]

[Given Raki's traits, she should be able to perfectly bring out the power of Bisca Connell.]

[It may not take long before Raki can enter 100% Mode while using Bisca Connell's power.]

[I really want to see what Raki will look like after entering 100% Mode and transforming into the alluring gunner Bisca Connell.]

[Raki herself will probably become extremely sexy as well.]

Kujaku: "Hm? What's going on? Arton drew another template?"

Whitey Bay: "Seriously? I haven't found any information about Arton's whereabouts, yet he drew another template?"

Smoothie: "And it happens to suit Raki. There's no way Arton will be willing to keep it for now."

Galette: "It would be fine if Arton were willing to hold onto that template temporarily."

Ulti: "How irritating. Why can't this template suit me instead of Raki?"

The voyage diary copy holders had been planning to rest, but the moment they saw Arton's latest entry, they instantly became alert.

There was no longer the slightest trace of sleepiness in their minds.

This concerned Arton, after all.

They had spent days searching for him without results, and Arton had barely recorded any useful information in the voyage diary during that time. How could they possibly sleep soundly?

Now that they had finally received even the slightest news concerning him, Smoothie and the others naturally had to pay attention.

That was especially true now that Arton had once again described the template he had obtained in the voyage diary.

Unfortunately, there was no way this template could be left for any of them.

If the template Arton had drawn did not suit Raki, and there was no one else aboard his ship who was compatible with it, perhaps he might deliberately invite one of his companions aboard while searching for someone suitable.

Some of the voyage diary copy holders even thought that if they happened to be compatible with the template, Arton might actively seek them out and offer them an invitation.

Now, however, it appeared they would not receive such an opportunity.

Mikita: "Seriously, what is Robin doing? Arton drew another template. When is she finally going to bring him here to meet us?"

Vivi: "Robin couldn't have forgotten that we exist just because she already received a template, could she?"

Paula: "There's no need to worry too much. Although Robin joined Arton's pirate crew, she ultimately has no way to influence his voyage. Perhaps Arton simply hasn't happened to travel in our direction."

The three former Alabasta agents gathered together as they read the words in their voyage diary copies.

As the most mature among them, Paula had her own thoughts about Robin's situation.

However, Vivi and Mikita were still quite young, and their patience was slightly lacking.

Even after Paula reassured them, Mikita and Vivi remained somewhat frustrated.

At that moment, however, they suddenly saw Arton activate the voyage diary's live-broadcast function.

Vivi, Mikita, and Paula immediately focused all their attention on the display before them.
