Chapter 29: Vol. 02 Ch. 08 – Changes of destiny
Previously ...
Arthur continued to train his body and his devil fruit abilities. Arthur also replaced the two katanas he used with a pair of tonfa with a blade in the ring from his father, he felt that this white tonfa was comparable to Meito 21 O Wazamono and create his new technique which is a combination of martial art and sword techniques. The aura seen on the blade was also getting stronger, making Arthur's flying slash attack even more stable.
Arthur's Haki is also very well developed, he can do Busoshoku Haki 'hardening' in part of his body and 'imbuement' on the sword blade he uses. And Arthur's Kenbonshoku Haki reaches the 'feeling intention' stage which Arthur can sense someone's intentions, enabling him to predict the actions of others. Unfortunately, Arthur's Haoshoku Haki could not progress far, Arthur still reached the basic technique, domination, which can't make someone pass out.

Sebas: "As you might expect, CP-0 is already on the Fishman island and is moving it. I tried to infiltrate their ship to make the copy. Even though I defeated 2 of the 5 members CP-0, I still failed to make a copy of the Road Poneglyph that young master Arthur intended"
Arthur: "Never mind, I should have known that after Roger gave his will inheritance, gorosei would take action to prevent the birth of another pirate king."
...
Maria: "Look at this."
Arthur received a newspaper and a bounty poster from Maria. The wanted poster showed the face of a 7-year-old girl with dark skin and black hair. The price of the wanted to be listed on the bounty poster was 79 million belly.

Arthur: "Nico Robin ..."
Maria: "Arthur, I want you to find her immediately. This newspaper mentioned that this incident happened a week ago, Robin must be somewhere alone. How is Olvia's condition? You must find them immediately! "
Arthur: "Certainly, mother. My initial plan was to go to Ohara next week because Athena had just finished. But I will leave tomorrow morning. Sebas! Sorry, even though you haven't recovered one hundred percent, I want you to prepare the supplies and come with me tomorrow to West Blue. "
Sebas: "Yes, of course, I will go until this old body is completely useless, young master Arthur."
Arthur: "Because I also wanted to try sailing with Athena the first time, the crew I needed were not much. Enough Sebas, one guard, one maid, and one female doctor. Sebas will be one cabin with the guard, the last cabin for maid and doctor. And the two female ship crews must meet these criteria." Arthur gives a paper with a criteria list to Sebas.
Maria: "Of course I will come."
Arthur: "Of course mom, you can sleep with me in the main cabin because the bed is big enough for 5 people."
Maria: "Eh ..."
In the morning, Sebas had prepared all the supplies that would last for 1 year for 6 people. But because the consumption needed by Arthur's body is 10 times that of an ordinary person, the supplies would only be enough for 2 months or less. Arthur kept all the supplies in his storage ring, including Athena. When Saint Adam saw that only six of them were leaving, he wanted to add guards for the safety of Arthur and Maria, but of course, Arthur refused. Arthur, Maria, Sebas, and other crew members descended from Mary Geoise to Red Port using Bondolas and of course in plain clothing. That's when Arthur's den-den mushi ringing, Arthur immediately connects his den-den mushi to white den-den mushi to prevent others from eavesdropping on Arthur's conversation.
* Purupuru Purupuru Purupuru Gacha! "
??? : "Arthur! You said I still have about a year left. Why has Ohara been attacked by a buster call? How is Robin? Is she already with you? I already feel bad because since a week ago I couldn't contact Clover and I know that you weren't around Robin from the clover report. Where are you now? Where is your promise?"
Arthur: "Olvia, my mother-in-law? How are you? A beautiful morning for sailing isn't it? "
Olvia: "ANSWER MY QUESTION! *sob* *sob* Is Robin with you? Why is the buster call coming sooner? "
Arthur: "I'm just ready to sail to pick Robin after hearing the news about Ohara. And about why the buster call came so early, I'm the one who should ask you, what did you and the expedition team do after I gave you a warning? "
Olvia: "Eh ...?"
Arthur: "Because you can contact me now, that means you are fine. But the chipper pol and the marines won't care about Ohara before your poneglyph search expedition is caught. I think after from Louge town you divided the team into smaller groups to widen and accelerate the search for poneglyph. "
Olvia: "That's ..."
Arthur: "Maybe because of that you guys became more careless and left many traces. This time you didn't get caught, so the other team got caught earlier. And all of that makes the island of Ohara fall faster. "
Olvia: "So ..."
Arthur: "As I said in Lougetown, Ohara will fall definitely. But because I'm meddling in this matter, there will be a change, whether it makes things happen faster or later. This time in exchange for your safety, Ohara fell faster. The plan I made to save Robin and maybe the Ohara Scholars became useless. I should have prepared all the possibilities but I didn't think about the possibility of Ohara being destroyed faster. Sorry."
Olvia: "Sorry, I panicked after reading today's newspaper. What should I do now?"
Arthur: *sigh* "What do you want to do now? I will pick Robin up, you can use my vivre card to meet us. "
Olvia: "All right, I understand."
*gacha*
Olvia ended their conversation and Arthur's entourage descended from Bondolas to the red port. Arthur proceeded to the edge of the harbor and took Athena out of her storage ring. Athena's sudden appearance made the other visitors very surprised. Arthur then took out a bottle of wine to celebrate the launch of his first ship as a sign of good luck. Sebas and the other crew members were confused about their duties because Athena was not like a ship in general. They only see the main mast but don't see where the sail is and there isn't even a cannon to use.
Sebas: "Young master Arthur ... we ..." Sebas was confused about what he should ask.
Arthur: "I will check Athena's condition and you can browse the layout of the ship to find out where your cabin is and your position assignments."
The first to board the ship 'Athena' was Maria, she was intrigued by the ship that was designed and built by Arthur. She ran like a child who got a new toy. Arthur checks the condition of the ship, Jet Dial, and put the supplies and food in the fridge from Arthur's storage ring. Arthur also gave directions to Sebas on how to sail using Athena. Arthur pressed the button on the steering wheel control panel to make the sail open itself, there seen the large word 'ART' on the ship's sail. Athena began to move away from the harbor and all the crew members began to understand where they had to work, while Maria was playing with all the existing dials and was now using a periscope looking at the surrounding sea. In the navigation room, Arthur and Sebas open the west blue map and determine the direction they will go with Arthur's magic compass.
Sebas: "Soon we will approach the Calm Belt, is young master Arthur's ship ready to cross the Clam Belt?"
Arthur: "Don't worry, Athena surpasses all ships including those of the marine's."
Sebas: "Then what about our direction? What is the name of the island that young master Arthur is heading to so that I can make a voyage plan and where we can refill our supplies? "
Arthur: "I only know the direction we need to go, I don't know which island we are going." Sebas was a little surprised by Arthur's answer but still opened the west blue map.
Sebas: "Young master Arthur, our position is here and this is the north so which islands are pointed to by the direction that Mr. Arthur knows?" Arthur drew a line from Athena's position according to his compass.
Arthur: "Three islands, the compass needle looks stable so she must be on one of these islands. I think she is on this island, northeast of Ohara, and maybe she is hiding because still being chased by the marines."
Sebas: "Papaya Island, the island is quite large and most of it is forest. But on that island, one of five big mafia families' west blue main headquarters."
