Chapter 88: Vol. 04 Ch. 23 – Awakened
It has been more than two years since the ART Pirates were formed officially , but news of their first appearance has spread throughout the world. News about Arthur fighting with Whitebeard for 5 whole days and successfully walking out casually showed Arthur's fighting abilities. There are even rumors circulating that Arthur managed to defeat the number 1 swordsman in the world, The Hawk Eyes, Dracule Mihawk. The information of the members of the ART Pirates crew also did not escape everyone's ears.
First Mate of ART Pirates, Nico Robin, The Devil Child, a girl who got the first wanted status since the age of 7 years. She is the ear and eye for the ART Pirates, no information will be slipped from her if she wants to know. Whereas Boa Hancock, which is very recognizable by the whole world because of her unparalleled beauty. She also earned the nickname "Weather Empress" because of her beauty and the ability of her devil fruit that can change the weather as she pleased, some even heard that she sent thunder rain to an island because of provoking her anger. The member who was initially thought to be a supporter, Baby-5, is now nicknamed "Fairy Queen" because of her latest bounty poster's photo that has wings and crown. Other members do not have too much information known by the public because they have never been seen fighting directly. But because of the increasingly popular members of the ART Pirates, Arthur earned another nickname.
Robin: "Art of Harem." Robin who was sitting relaxed while reading her book suddenly said something.
Arthur: "What's that?" Arthur was confused because he did not understand what Robin said.
Robin: "The nickname made by all men in the world for you." Robin answered by turning the pages of the book she was reading.
Hancock: "Hahaha, that suits you better than the nickname of The Art of Death." Hancock could not help laughing because he heard Arthur's new nickname.
Sugar: "Young master Arthur. Our wanted poster changed. " Sugar ran into the lounge with News Coo in his hand.
Bepo: "Captain, were they misprinted when they made my wanted poster?"
Robin: "This is the lowest pirate bounty price I know of." Robin holds Bepo's first wanted poster.
Bepo: "My fighting ability is not inferior to Sugar, but the price of her bounty is higher than me. Why?"
Monet: "Maybe it's because you're a bear."
Bepo: "I'm sorry." Bepo is very depressed because of his nature and is exacerbated by his bounty status which is very low compared to the others.
Bepo showed Arthur his wanted poster and made Arthur also hold back his laughter. It's been 1 week since the incident at the Twin Cape and they are still sailing towards Foolshout Island. During this time Arthur continued to train his new members and their wanted posters began to change, except for Monet and Law who were less active in combat. Sugar and Bepo also get their first wanted poster. When everyone saw Bepo's wanted poster, they burst out laughing, causing the depressed bear to sink even worse.

Sugar: "Bepo, ugh, don't worry, ugh, your bounty values will rise as soon as they know your abilities, ugh hahaha." Sugar tries to calm Bepo but instead worsens the white bear's mood.
Arthur: "We better not disturb him for a while."
Hancock: "Yes, I'll do that." Hancock who usually likes to bother Bepo also felt sorry for him.
Arthur: "So how long will we arrive on Foolshout Island?"
Hancock: "At normal speed, we will arrive after 3 days."
During those 3 days, Bepo started to get back normal again, even though he was still depressed often and said the word sorry but he didn't think too much about the price of his bounty again. During that week Arthur also began to teach Sugar about shooting techniques and continued to train the bodies of new members to reach the minimum limit to use the Rokushiki technique. Arthur also did not forget his training and one morning after waking up he felt something in him that was different from the previous days. He didn't think too much about it and immediately got up from the bed and went to practice, and it was when he tried his devil fruit ability that he felt the change he had just felt.
Arthur: "HAHAHA !?" Arthur's laughing voice surprised everyone who immediately ran towards him.
Baby-5: "Young master Arthur, is something wrong?"
Arthur: "Look at this." Arthur showed a white fluffy round pillow in his hand.
Robin: "What's wrong with the pillow?"
Bepo: "Captain, please return me to normal." Bepo's voice came from Arthur's pillow.
Sugar: "The pillow can talk." Sugar is shocked after hearing Bepo's voice from the pillow.
Bepo: "I'm sorry." Bepo, who became Arthur's guinea pig, turned into a Minion Pigs of the Angry Birds character but still has white fur.
Arthur: "Looks like my devil fruit has awakened now, after 15 years I used it finally my devil fruit has awakened. Hahaha." Arthur laughed happily tossing Bepo in the air.
Bepo: "Captain ... I feel dizzy."
Hancock: "What's the difference from your previous abilities?" Hancock catches the pillow (Bepo) in the air and checks the pillow (Bepo).
Arthur: "Before, I can indeed change the appearance and function of the target according to my wishes, but I cannot change the basic shape of my target. If my target is human, the changes created by Art-Art Fruits will continue to have a human form that is to have a head, body, hands, and feet. But now I can change the basic shape and even reduce the size of my target. Now I can do this too, [Omni Art] "Arthur changed his hand to a skull-hand and tried to move it.
Everyone: "Wow ..."
Robin: "I have never seen Arthur change himself." Robin gave his statement after recalling Arthur's abilities.
Bepo: "Captain ... ugh!" Bepo felt very dizzy and looked like he wanted to throw up.
Arthur: "Ah, sorry, [Liberty Art]" That way Bepo's body returned to normal.
Monet: "Is that all you have of being able to after your devil fruit awakened?" Monet who was lacking in enthusiasm because of the change in the ability of Arthur's devil fruit was less conspicuous.
Arthur: "I need more experiments, but it seems I can change the target in more detail. Maybe now I can change the arrangement of atoms in minerals and DNA in a person's body. Very great is not it? "
Everyone: "Wow ..."
Arthur thought while rubbing his chin and developing his chest proudly because it represented the ability of his awakened devil fruit. All were surprised to see Arthur's expression, not because of his words.
Robin: "So, what is DNA?" Robin who asked Arthur made him almost falling like in the anime.
Arthur: "You don't know what DNA is? Baby-5? " Arthur tried to ask Baby-5 who was more knowledgeable about health science.
Baby-5: "I'm sorry, young master Arthur, D ... NA, the first time I heard those words." Baby-5 feels guilty for not being able to fulfill Arthur's expectations.
Arthur: "Ah, that's fine. But why do you look surprised if you don't know the meaning of my words? "
Monet: "So what is DNA?"
Arthur: "How do I explain it huh? Um ... Ah. Maybe Baby-5 will know if I call it with name Lineage Factor. " Arthur remembers one of the terms in the anime.
Baby-5: "What !? Lineage Factor !? Eh ... sorry, I was just surprised. " Baby-5 screams to everyone's surprise.
Robin: "This is the first time I've to see Baby-5 surprised until she screams like that."
Hancock: "So ... what is Lineage Factor?"
