...

Just as Kalifa had said, with more and more companions joining him, Arton's ship really was beginning to feel too crowded.

That was precisely why Arton planned to have a sufficiently large ship built once they reached Water 7.

Afterward, he intended to visit Alabasta.

After all, Vivi had never joined the Straw Hat Pirates in the original story, but she still shared a deep bond with them.

To Arton, Vivi had also left a profound impression.

Under those circumstances, he naturally wanted to hear what she thought.

Before heading to Alabasta, however, they first needed to build a new ship.

Arton did not want his crewmates crammed into the same room.

"Bisca Connell's abilities are roughly like this."

"Come, Raki. Accept this power."

Arton brought the sphere containing Bisca Connell's power in front of Raki and smiled.

"Thank you, Captain. I'll make good use of this power."

Raki bowed respectfully, then slowly received the template.

Bisca Connell's power transformed into a ray of light that enveloped Raki.

She closed her eyes and recalled the sniper rifle Raki had demonstrated earlier.

"What an excellent gun."

Raki ran a hand over the weapon and sighed with admiration.

"A good gun can't be judged by appearance alone. You still need to see whether you can actually use it."

"How about trying Bisca Connell's power right now?"

Arton rested a hand on Raki's shoulder and smiled.

"Of course." The corners of Raki's lips rose. "It would be even better if Captain could demonstrate Bisca Connell's power together with me through Fusion Mode."

"Of course that's fine."

Arton naturally had no intention of refusing her suggestion.

Besides, while in Fusion Mode, he could also take some excellent pictures of Raki.

Even without entering Fusion Mode, he would have plenty of opportunities to photograph her in the future.

However, Raki in Fusion Mode would exist within an especially wondrous world.

Arton felt it would be best to preserve a record of that version of her as well.

"Give me your hand, Raki. We'll begin now."

Arton smiled as he helped Raki place her hand over his own.

...

"No problem, Captain."

Raki smiled faintly and extended her hand.

A brilliant emerald light enveloped them both, and everyone watched as Arton and Raki merged into a single person.

Green hair, denim clothing, and a valiant, heroic version of Arton appeared before them.

The sight naturally made Nami, Robin, and the others' eyes light up.

If Arton had not been holding a camera, everyone probably would have insisted that he record the sight from their point of view.

At the same time, Arton looked through Fusion Mode at Raki's body and unhesitatingly activated the camera function.

Arton took ten consecutive pictures of Raki.

Each one captured her from a different angle.

He was naturally quite pleased with his work.

However, the women who saw Arton's photographs through the voyage diary had far more complicated feelings.

...

Nami: "As expected, Arton is taking pictures again."

Carina: "This must be one of Captain's habits. Still, Raki really is far too compatible with the template. She can even pose in all kinds of ways."

Uta: "Hehe, Raki is actually pretty impressive. She can even pull off the letter 'S' pose."

Conis: "She's clearly glowing right now, yet Raki is still so bold. Maybe I should learn from her."

Hina: "Interesting. The next time Arton takes pictures of Hina, perhaps Hina should try making a letter 'S' too."

Tashigi: "Wouldn't everyone see it then?"

Robin: "As long as Arton is happy, it doesn't matter if the other voyage diary holders see it. They're all women anyway."

Gion: "Ten more photographs—and a great many points. Raki will probably grow stronger very quickly."

Kalifa: "So he deliberately strikes all kinds of seductive poses to encourage Arton to record more of her in the voyage diary. I understand now."

Smoothie: "It seems we really should learn from that woman."

Stussy: "If we frequently seek Arton out to activate Fusion Mode and keep making different poses, perhaps he'll be willing to take even more pictures of us."

Whitey Bay: "Then the person who received the template will grow even stronger through those photographs."

Boa Hancock: "I'm not envious at all! I'm not jealous at all! I absolutely won't make such shameless poses!"

Vivi: "Hmph... As long as Arton can rescue Alabasta, there's nothing wrong with me posing like that."

Arton had no idea so many women with voyage diary copies had already seen his work.

After happily saving the pictures he had taken of Raki, he addressed Nami, Carina, and the others.

"I'm taking Raki out to practice with firearms. Everyone else can disperse."

With that, Arton walked toward the dining hall doors and headed for the deck.

"What? I want to see too."

Nami immediately followed him.

After all, this was a newly acquired template.

Even those who had already received templates remained curious about the power it contained.

Nami was naturally no exception.

Not only did she follow, but Hina and the others also went after Arton.

Even Smoothie and the other voyage diary holders who were not part of the Flameblade Pirates widened their eyes, eager to see what kind of abilities Raki could display while fused with Arton.

Unfortunately, they soon discovered that Arton had chosen to disable the live recording.

In other words, they could no longer see anything.

Doll: "Arton is really stingy. Couldn't he have recorded a little longer?"

Gion: "It seems the only way we'll understand Raki's abilities in the future is through some other means."

Kujaku: "Will we have to fight her to find out what she can do?"

Kalifa: "No matter what, hurry up and come to Water 7, Arton. I can't wait to see you in person."

Whitey Bay: "Give us some kind of signal. We've been sailing around for so long. If we still can't find you, Father and the others are going to start laughing at me."
