One Piece: Getting Stronger by Writing a Diary

Happy New Year to everyone! I'm kicking off the year by bringing you a brand-new novel. You can find it on my profile. Wishing you all blessings and a fantastic year ahead!

...

"This is interesting, really interesting."

"To be honest, your actions have surprised me."

"Also, your posture is quite captivating."

"Stay in this pose, don't move. I'll make another drawing."

"And Tashigi over there, you're doing great too."

"Your shy appearance perfectly contrasts with Hina's confidence."

"That's it, just like that. Don't move."

Arton raised an intrigued eyebrow and picked up his brush again.

Although he had already taken a photo of Hina at that moment, Arton felt that his collection shouldn't just include system photos; it also needed real-life drawings.

His words successfully caused Hina's and Tashigi's heads to almost smoke from overheating.

Even though they were extremely embarrassed, they couldn't refuse Arton's request at that moment.

Even when Uta pushed her diary copy in front of them, showing them the photo Arton had taken, which all diary holders could view, they couldn't resist.

[Photo: Close-up of Hina and Tashigi!]

[Seeing Hina and Tashigi's like this makes me want to go swimming~.]

[Maybe when I pass by Water 7, I should ask the shipwrights there to build me a pirate ship big enough to have an artificial pool.]

[Speaking of which, although the history of this world has changed, those CP9 agents should still be there undercover for the blueprints of the ancient weapon Pluton, right?]

[Maybe I should have them build my ship.]

[After all, two of those spies have pretty good shipbuilding skills.]

Hina: "?!"

Tashigi: "?!"

Kalifa: "This guy knows we're undercover in Water 7?! This is bad!"

Belo Betty: "Water 7, huh? The undercover agents are probably shipwrights, something to keep an eye on."

Charlotte Smoothie: "Ancient weapons? Now that's really interesting huhu. The World Government actually plans on obtaining such legendary things."

Stussy: "Arton even knows about ancient weapons fufu. This will make the Navy, pirates, and the Revolutionary Army all the more eager to have him."

Black Maria: "Blueprints of ancient weapons, huh? If necessary, we might have to seize them from these spies."

Gion: "The World Government is actually thinking about such things! Sigh, Arton really knows some troublesome stuff."

Doll: "But those agents are just undercover; maybe the blueprints for the ancient weapon aren't even there! Or... Arton might directly reveal the location of the blueprints, that'll make the World Government's agents to end their undercover work early."

Kalifa, after a moment of panic, quickly calmed down.

She also thought of this.

Although their identities might be exposed, if Arton reveals both their names and the location of the ancient weapon's blueprints, it might actually be a good thing for them.

As long as they can quickly obtain the Pluton blueprints and leave Water 7 before other forces intervene, the victory would be theirs.

However, Kalifa's thoughts were destined to be in vain.

At this moment, Arton had no intention of mentioning that the blueprints for the ancient weapon were with Franky.

Arton's attention quickly returned to Hina and Tashigi.

[Hina actually used the excuse that Tashigi's figure wasn't as good as hers, saying if I wanted to, I should take her instead.]

[She really is a good boss who cares about her subordinates haha.]

[However, what Hina doesn't know now is that although Tashigi's figure isn't as good as hers at the moment, in a couple of years, Tashigi will undergo a second development.]

[By then, Tashigi will have a figure that even Hina won't have.]

[I wonder what kind of reaction Hina will have when she sees Tashigi's figure then and remembers what she said today.]

Seeing this, Uta's lips curled up high.

Hina, on the other hand, raised her eyebrows and looked at Tashigi's chest, as if wondering how Tashigi could still undergo a second development.

Under Hina's gaze, Tashigi once again lowered her head, too embarrassed to meet her eyes.

[Speaking of Tashigi's figure, I have to say her superior Smoker is really a "good" boss.]

[When he fought against Law, affected by Law's ability, Smoker and Tashigi were forced to swap bodies.]

[As a result, this Smoker, because he had the habit of not buttoning up, controlled Tashigi's body to unbutton her shirt while his consciousness was still in her body.]

[Tsk tsk, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't have known that Tashigi had such a generous figure.]

[By the way, there's something strange. At that time, it seemed like I didn't see Tashigi's inner clothes.]

[Could it be that Smoker tore them off and threw them away as well?!]

Tashigi: 'Captain Smoker actually did something like that?! Wait, if it's him, it really is possible.'

'Wait, will my future self stay in a body-swapped state with Captain Smoker? No, no way!'

Hina: "Smoker, still the same even in the future. But being body-swapped by Law's ability, what a strange Devil Fruit power."

Monet: "Law? Could it be that kid?!"

Seeing Arton mention Law's name, Monet's brow furrowed with hesitation.

[Tashigi is really unlucky to be by Smoker's side.]

[Not understanding a woman's shy feelings is one thing.]

[But his strength isn't much to speak of.]

[Even after becoming a Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, he couldn't compare to the Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral who was actually a pirate spy.]

[When Smoker found out the other was a spy, he attacked in rage, but what happened? He got beaten up badly, almost completely unable to fight back.]

[Tashigi, being under such a superior, must feel very insecure.]

[Should I persuade this Tashigi some more? If she really is willing to leave the Marines, I'll take her in, lest she gets doomed by Smoker.]

Tashigi: "An undercover agent hidden within the Marines? Am I going to die? Does this undercover agent kill me and Captain Smoker?"

Hina: "Such things will happen in the future. Who did it?"

Doll: "A pirate's undercover agent within the ranks of the Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals? No, it could also be a future Vice Admiral!"

Gion: "To reach the level of a Vice Admiral, this undercover agent must be quite capable."

Charlotte Smoothie: "The Marines aren't so great, after all. They're getting infiltrated, haha."

Stussy: "An undercover agent, huh? Reaching the rank of Vice Admiral isn't easy. Who could have arranged this?"

Sugar: "Please...don't reveal the name."

Monet: "God, please don't let Arton say Vergo's name!"
