Chapter 168: Chapter 134 – I’m your person now
At first, Smoothie did indeed have the idea of monopolizing Arton.
But as the content of Arton's diary grew, Smoothie began to think it would be difficult to monopolize Arton.
Given Arton's influence, she couldn't possibly make him abandon Uta, Kaya, and the others around him.
Moreover, she might even need the help of Custard, Galette, and others.
So, although it was unfortunate, she gradually became open to the idea of sharing Arton with Charlotte Custard, Charlotte Galette, and the others.
She could tell that, except for Pudding, Custard, Galette, and Cinnamon all showed great interest in Arton.
This was understandable since Arton's presence could bring them immense power.
"Love" wasn't the absolute thing for pirates like them; rather, "power" was something they didn't mind offering their bodies for.
Especially knowing that the Big Mom Pirates would be defeated in the future, power was what they needed most.
"I understand. I will do as you say."
"If Mama assigns me to go out to sea, I will go with the utmost determination to find Arton and try to make him accept the invitation to Totto Land." Custard said.
After her, Galette and Cinnamon also nodded.
Although Pudding hesitated, she still nodded slightly under Smoothie's gaze.
"Good. Next, let's wait for the news that will shake the world."
"[New Pirate Arton Kills Legendary Pirate Golden Lion], I wonder if Morgans will use a headline like that haha."
"Speaking of which, if Dracule Mihawk sees a photo of [Unlimited Blade Works], will he seek out Arton too?" Smoothie mused, turning her gaze to the window as if she could see Arton far away in the East Blue.

On the Stern of the Sylvan.
"Nami, you're here."
Nami, who had been gazing out at the sea in a daze, was startled by the sudden voice and quickly turned around.
"Arton, it's you!"
"Have you finished resting?"
Seeing Arton, Nami ran over in delight.
"Yes, Kaya's medicinal bath is very effective."
"Both my body and mind are fully restored."
"Now, we can talk about your matter."
"You must have something you want to tell me."
Arton nodded slightly, smiling as he spoke.
Hearing Arton say this, Nami didn't hesitate at all and immediately began to recount how the Arlong Pirates had taken over Cocoyasi Village.
She knew that Arton was aware of the situation in Cocoyasi Village, so she had no reason to hide anything. In fact, she wanted to quickly share the details to give Arton a formal reason to go to Cocoyasi Village.
"...So, you'll definitely help, right, Arton?"
"After all, I'm your person now."
"Helping me is like helping yourself."
As Nami spoke, she wrapped her arms around Arton's, occasionally letting Arton feel her breasts.
"You really know how to twist things, Nami."
"You're asking for help, but making it sound like it's for my benefit."
Arton raised his hand and playfully flicked Nami's forehead.
In response, Nami just stuck out her tongue mischievously and giggled softly.
"But never mind, even though running into you at Shiki was unexpected."
"Since I've taken you in, dealing with the Arlong Pirates is now a matter for the Flame Blade Pirates."
"So don't worry, Nami. I'll help you handle the situation in Cocoyasi Village."
Arton assured her.
"Great! you are the best, Arton!"
Nami jumped up in excitement, wrapping her arms around Arton's neck and pulling his head into her chest.
In an instant, Arton felt a fragrant scent waft into his nose.
"What a pity, if it were the future Nami, the sensation would be even better."
"However, if I give Nami the template of Raiden Shogun…"
"It may make Nami's body advance towards the state it will be in two years."
"After all, if her chest isn't ample enough, she wouldn't be able to draw a sword from there like Raiden Shogun."
Arton thought as he felt the feedback from Nami's chest against his face.
"Isn't this enough?"
Nami, pressing Arton's head into her chest, kept an eye on her diary copy.
However, the diary did not show any recorded video or photos as she had anticipated.
There wasn't even any related text recorded by Arton.
This left Nami, who was eager to earn points, feeling a bit disappointed.
But then, she suddenly felt an incomparably powerful energy surge wildly into her body from Arton's hand on her shoulder.
In an instant, the sound of thunder rumbled, and dazzling lightning continuously flowed over Nami's body.
"This... what is this?!"
Nami released her hold on Arton's head in surprise, staring bewilderedly at the lightning on her body.
"Calm down, Nami."
"Carefully feel this power."
"If you can grasp even one ten-thousandth of this power, the Arlong Pirates will be at your mercy."
Arton put his hands behind his back, watching with interest as he opened the navigation diary system to record Nami's transformation.
Hearing Arton's words, Nami immediately realized that Arton had given her the template of Raiden Shogun.
Excited, she quickly followed Arton's advice, concentrating to feel the energy within her.
