Sorry guys, I'm back

Charlotte Smoothie: "Another ten points, it seems that developing new techniques with Arton also makes it easy to be recorded."
Kujaku: "Ten points, plus the previous photos Arton took for Carina, if this continues, Carina will beco really powerful. And this sword technique looks quite dangerous."
Vivi: "It would be great if I had such power… I could save my country."
Jewelry Bonney: "By Arton's side, both Carina and Uta get frequently ntioned in his diary. That ans, just by becoming Arton's partner, I could beco stronger quickly."
"If I had enough power… I could finally find Dad."
"Damn, why does Arton have to be in the East Blue? Looks like I only have a chance to et him on the Grand Line. I need to speed up and get to the Grand Line first."
Gion: "I'm kind of looking forward to try your sword technique, Arton. I really hope the island I'm heading to now is the sa one you're going to."
As she spoke, Gion raised her head to look at the sailing chart in her hand, her gaze landing on "Syrup Village" marked on the map.
Just then, a notification on the diary copy caught her attention.
"Is it Tashigi? Could it be sothing important?"
Gion raised an eyebrow and opened the ssage sent through the diary system by Tashigi.
[Tashigi: Vice Admiral Gion, I know the island Arton is heading to. The video Arton just posted in the diary shows a shadow of an island, and I compared it with the conditions of various islands in the East Blue. I found that the island in Arton's video and the one where Syrup Village in the East Blue are highly coincidental. On that island, there is a wealthy rchant nad Kaya. Besides, I found out that in the past few days, Kaya's butler rry has been procuring shipbuilding materials in the neighboring town, so I believe Arton's destination is Syrup Village. Vice Admiral Gion, are you heading to Syrup Village?]
[Ain: Well done, Tashigi!]
[Hina: Next, if Vice Admiral Gion's destination coincides with Arton's, we might be able to catch him.]
Gion's lips slightly curved up, revealing a hint of a smile.
[Gion: Don't worry, my current destination is Syrup Village.]
[Tashigi: Great, this way we can find Arton!]
[Ain: Vice Admiral Gion, everything is up to you now. You've seen Arton's video; he's becoming stronger and more dangerous. If we let him continue, he might actually gain the power to kill a Celestial Dragon.]
[Hina: If that happens, the Navy won't be able to recruit him, not even with the Seven Warlords strategy.]
[Gion: Don't worry, everyone, I have a plan! I'll reach Arton in the shortest ti possible.]
[Hina: Everything is in your hands now, Vice Admiral Gion.]
[Tashigi: Please, Vice Admiral Gion.]
[Ain: It's all up to you now, Vice Admiral Gion.]
Gion closed her own diary copy and walked over to her deputy.
"I'll leave this place to you for now."
"I'm heading to Syrup Village first."
"Just keep heading towards Syrup Village at our current speed."
Gion instructed.
"Yes, Vice Admiral Gion!"
The deputy saluted solemnly.
Gion nodded slightly and quickly walked into the cabin.
When she reappeared on deck, her appearance and attire had changed significantly.
Casual white shirt, tight ladies' jeans, paired with pink glasses.
Not only that, even Gion's aura seed different.
If the previous Gion was a dashing female Navy officer, now she seed more like an elite office worker.
"Hopefully, Arton won't recognize right away with this outfit."
"Now, all that's left is to et you, Arton."
After ensuring her attire was impeccable, Gion leaped from the deck, striding rapidly towards Syrup Village.

anwhile, elsewhere.
Wano Country.
Beast Pirates territory, Onigashima.
"Using two powers together really makes one much stronger."
"It would be great if we could capture Arton for the Beast Pirates."
Ulti continued walking forward, watching Arton's diary copy and musing.
"You ntioned Arton's na, so you have a diary copy too?"
Just then, a very familiar voice reached Ulti.
"Black Maria, is that you?!"
"And you, I rember you are... Ginrummy!"
"Wait, you ntioned 'diary copy' just now?"
"Huh! I didn't feel that kind of heart attack!"
Ulti turned around, surprised, looking at Black Maria who was approaching.
"Because I and Ginrummy both have diary copies."
"So, you were able to ntion the diary copy."
"Right, Ginrummy?"
Black Maria's lips curled up as she looked at Ginrummy standing beside her.
Hearing this, Ginrummy nodded repeatedly.
"So there are others in the Beast Pirates who have a diary copy like ."
"I thought I was the only one."
Ulti, seeing soone else who also owned a diary copy and could talk about it,
Imdiately began gushing to Black Maria about Arton like a faucet turned on.
It's no wonder, after all, she had been nearly sick holding all this inside about the diary copy.
Finally having caught two people she could talk to, she naturally did not want to miss the opportunity.
"Alright, let's use the diary copy's own functions to communicate."
"Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if others overhear us."
Black Maria smiled, guided Ulti to add Ginrummy as a friend, and initiated a group chat.
