Boa Hancock: "Those Celestial Dragons are indeed a bunch of bastards. These scum dare to claim they have the blood of gods? If I could obtain Raiden Ei's power, I should be able to ask them face to face if gods bleed, just like Arton said."
Nico Robin: "Arton knows the Void Century? Well, it makes sense. Since he knows the world's future and past, he must know about the Void Century. Maybe I shouldn't stay in Alabasta but go find Arton. If he sees and understands , he might directly write about the Void Century in his diary. At the very least, he should reveal the locations of the Poneglyphs. Speaking of which, why did only the descendants of 19 kings beco Celestial Dragons? Did the descendants of the remaining one king get exterminated?"
Kalifa: "The Celestial Dragons are the descendants of traitors? Is this the true history of the world?"
Tashigi: "Without the ancestors of these Celestial Dragons, the world would have already been peaceful?"
Hibari: "So, it's the Celestial Dragons who truly made this world like this?!"
Hina: "Hina is very surprised!"
Doll: "No... No way, is this really the truth of the world?!"
Belo Betty: "As expected, the Celestial Dragons are our enemies. What the Revolutionary Army is doing is right."
Koala: "Damn Celestial Dragons, I must work hard to contribute to defeating them!"
Stussy: "Oh my, if these things were known to others, the impact would be significant, wouldn't it? I wonder how many in the Navy have diary copies. If they do, I wonder if they would want to leave the Navy, hehe."
Stussy's speculation is not without basis.
Not to ntion Tashigi and Hibari, who are relatively new to the Navy, even seasoned veterans like Gion are finding their faith in justice wavering.
For a long ti, Gion and other Marines have been aware of the darkness of the Celestial Dragons. However, they always believed that it was the World Governnt founded by the ancestors of the Celestial Dragons that maintained the basic peace of the world.
Therefore, for the sake of world peace, they chose to endure the darkness of so of the Celestial Dragons. So even chose silence when witnessing the atrocities of the Celestial Dragons.
But now, with reliable information suggesting that the world would have been peaceful without the ancestors of the Celestial Dragons, the Marines with diary copies are experiencing a sense of shattered faith.
After a while, so of the female Marines couldn't help but express their doubts.
[Tashigi: Everyone, was joining the Navy really the right choice?]
[Hibari: I... I also want to know. Are the Celestial Dragons truly like that?]
[Hina: Arton has no reason to lie in his diary, so... Hina is very sad.]
[Doll: Arton really has revealed quite a shocking piece of information. Even I feel a bit lost.]
[Kujaku: I suddenly feel like if I continue to own this diary copy, I might want to leave the Navy. But Granny Tsuru is still in the Navy, so I can't leave.]
[Gion: Although the ancestors of the Celestial Dragons made mistakes, that was 800 years ago. For the peace of the current world, the work of the Navy is indispensable.]
[Doll: Vice Admiral Gion is right. But I still feel a bit stifled. It seems I also need to see a psychologist.]
[Sadi: By the way, is it really okay for us to discuss the Celestial Dragons like this?]
[Doll: They can't see our ssages, so it's fine. But in the real world, rember not to discuss them like this to avoid trouble.]
[Kujaku: Suddenly, I hope Arton's diary can be a bit more soothing. Otherwise, my heart really can't take it.]
[Ain: Yes… yes.]
At this mont, the female Marines reached a unanimous agreent in their hearts.
They all hoped that Arton would refrain from revealing more explosive information for the ti being.
It seed as if Arton heard their wishes.
Indeed, he did not continue exposing more about the Celestial Dragons.
[Fine, I'll consider making them bleed once I et the Celestial Dragons.]
[If possible, I should first give soone the Raiden Ei template.]
[This way, those Celestial Dragons, the Five Elders, and that Imu can see what a true god looks like.]
Kalifa: "Imu? Who is this?"
Koala: "Arton ntioned Imu alongside the Celestial Dragons and the Five Elders?"
Belo Betty: "It seems that Imu's identity is significant. Could they be a highly influential figure among the Celestial Dragons?"
[Raiden Ei possesses attributes such as eternal, god, woman, warrior, swordsman, lightning, majesty, beauty, dessert, and poor cooking skills.]
[It's not easy to find soone truly worthy of Raiden Ei's power.]
[Indeed, I can only find soone with at least three of Raiden Ei's attributes.]
Boa Hancock: "Woman, beauty, majesty. I can use Raiden Ei's template!"
Charlotte Smoothie: "Warrior, swordsman, majesty, beauty, dessert, woman. I have so many attributes that match Raiden Ei!"
Nojiko: "Poor cooking skills count as an attribute? It seems even if I et Arton, I can't use Raiden Ei's power."
Nami: "I'm a 'woman' and definitely 'beautiful'. Damn it, why do I only have two attributes that match Raiden Ei? Wait, could there be other attributes that Arton hasn't ntioned?!"
Tashigi: "Swordsman, woman, warrior. I should have these three attributes. But Arton wouldn't give Raiden Ei's template..."
The diary copy holders compared Raiden Ei's attributes with their own in secret.
Even those who were far away from Arton and knew they had little chance of obtaining the Raiden Ei template couldn't help but compare their attributes.
It was no wonder, as Raiden Ei's power was incredibly strong. In the skill demonstration video, Raiden Ei easily sliced through giant snakes and mountains with a single slash. Even now, the won felt awe when they recalled it.
[Forget it, let's take it step by step. When soone joins my Fla Blade Pirates and can adapt to the Raiden Ei template, I'll give it to her.]
[I hope soone with the sa dedication to honing martial skills as Raiden Ei will inherit this template.]
Charlotte Smoothie, Whitey Bay, Ulti, and others felt a surge of excitent when they saw that Arton planned to put the Raiden Ei template on hold.
Likewise, Gion, Doll, and other Marines were particularly serious.
At this mont, both pirates and Marines hoped that the power of Raiden Ei would belong to their side.
After all, if the enemy obtained such power, it could be a devastating blow to their own side.
"Arton said that I am suitable for Raiden Ei's power."
"If I invite him to join the Marines, he might give Raiden Ei's power."
"I can't give up on making Arton a Marine."
Gion gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, her gaze firm as she looked towards the sea.
As if by doing so, she could see where Arton was.
However, when she thought about Arton's evaluation and knowledge of the Celestial Dragons, her brow furrowed and she beca less confident.
It was understandable, as even she herself was beginning to doubt the justice she upheld.
Her determination to invite Arton to beco a Marine naturally waned.
"Next up is the advanced draw."
"I an, the basic draw gave a bombshell reward."
"The advanced draw won't be a dud, right?"
Arton frowned slightly, feeling an inexplicable unease.
But thinking about how long he had saved up and finally had enough points for an advanced draw, Arton gritted his teeth and contacted the system to start the advanced draw.
[System notification: 1000 points have been deducted, remaining points: 13. Starting the draw...]
[Draw complete, congratulations, host! You have received the "Emiya Shirou Template Challenge Ticket"!]
"Emiya Shirou? Is this the heroic spirit Emiya Shirou who possesses Unlimited Blade Works?"
"If it is him, although not as powerful as Raiden Ei, gaining his full power would still be quite decent."
"But what is this challenge ticket? It's not like the complete template I received with Yoriichi Tsugikuni."
Arton frowned and imdiately focused on reading the corresponding notes for the "Emiya Shirou Template Challenge Ticket."
Before long, Arton had a thorough understanding of the template challenge ticket.
A template challenge ticket involves using the user's body as the base condition to integrate the basic powers of the template character. Subsequently, by engaging in battles within a certain ti fra, the user can gradually rge more of the template character's powers.
Taking Arton's usage of the Emiya Shirou template challenge ticket as an example:
Initially, Arton would receive the powers of a young Emiya Shirou who has not yet beco a heroic spirit and cannot use Unlimited Blade Works.
Specifically, it is the Emiya Shirou who had ford a bond with Saber, Artoria Pendragon, and could project the "Excalibur, Sword of Promised Victory."
Following this, by undergoing rigorous battles within the designated period, he could quickly and progressively acquire more of Emiya Shirou's powers.
From the Emiya Shirou who bonded with Saber, to the one who bonded with Rin Tohsaka, to the one who bonded with Sakura Matou, the one who beca the guardian of Miyu, the red heroic spirit Emiya, the blackened heroic spirit Emiya, and even the heroic spirit nad Senji Muramasa – all these powers could potentially be obtained by Arton.
Of course, the period for quickly gaining powers through the template challenge ticket is limited.
Arton was unsure if he could achieve the full extent of Senji Muramasa's powers in one go.
However, he was certain that only by gritting his teeth and fighting strong enemies could he possibly gain more of Emiya Shirou's powers.
"From Emiya Shirou to the heroic spirit Emiya."
"It seems I have no choice but to engage in a battle with you, Golden Lion."
Arton looked up and gazed at the sky as he spoke.
