The appearance of the dimensional art store caused a huge commotion minutes after its appearance, as it was especially eye-catching by the huge banner hanging in the sky inviting people to take a look at what was going on here.

Those simple people who woke up early in the morning either for work or shopping were immediately attracted to their attention, after all, the location of the art store was close to the Tree of Knowledge and not far from the city which was more densely populated.

What amazed these people and confused archaeologists is how this huge building appeared out of thin air!?

Yesterday it was not present at all.

Outside, people gathered every moment in front of the store to form a group of people wondering what is happening in the world.

But inside, Rob was drowning in his own works, was drawing the first folder of the One Piece manga, Romance Dawn!

The method of drawing was rather simple, but in Rob's hands, his work seemed fantastic to any artist, as he re-imagined the events of the chapters he had read in the past in the volume he created with the power of the Devil Fruit.

Before that, Rob had bought all his drawing supplies except paper with the Art Points he got as a starter gift.

After buying all that plus the coffee machines and food vending machines he had previously bought, he only had 4,000 Art Points left.

High level drawing talent and photographic memory plus the title of Beginner mangaka was the best combination ever, as it all resulted in chapter after chapter with precision beyond even the original by many levels, and the most important thing is that Rob used his Devil Fruit ability to give colors and sound effects to the drawings. Drawn by hand, this makes the manga much more lively and fun.

Although Rob can simply embody what is in his memory with the ability of the Devil Fruit, it would take a superhuman mental strength that he, unfortunately, does not possess now. After all, manga chapters contain a lot of meticulous work, where a world is personified through drawing, which is not something he can embody as it is in his memory.

Rob preferred to use his talent for drawing to keep things simple.

With all these miraculous abilities, Rob took an hour to paint the entire first volume, which consists of 7 chapters from chapter one to chapter seven!

This was the first arc of the East Blue saga called the Romance Dawn, this arc sums up to show the story of how the protagonist Monkey D. Luffy acquired the abilities of the Devil Fruit.

And also about the latter's desire and dream of becoming the Pirates King!

Then Luffy sailed when he reached the age of 17 and met a boy named Koby and helped him escape from a female pirate named Alvida.

Finally, Luffy tries to convince pirate hunter, Roronoa Zoro, to join his crew while facing the tyrannical Navy Captain Ax-Hand Morgan.

Rob recreated the first volume of manga One Piece in a very cool way, the drawing was very new and not as old as the original, and using the paper devil fruit Rob really succeeded in giving life to the legendary manga.

Rob was thrilled with the successful start of production and was very anticipating how the people of this world would react to this manga.

Now that he's finished with the drawing already, the rest of the work won't be difficult at all.

This time, too, it would depend on the Devil Fruit's ability to copy the original volume he had drawn into thousands of other volumes.

Since he had drawn the first seven chapters already, he could copy it with the Devil Fruit ability quite easily.

So it took him another hour to transcribe more than 10,000 entire volumes of 7 chapters, Rob didn't feel physically exhausted because he was immortal, and he didn't feel mentally exhausted either because he was a strong person. He can't be tired just to use Devil fruit abilities for two hours, copying is much easier than embodiment after all thing.

The copy method was much simpler as he could copy anything drawn in the created paper to his ability by simply coming into contact with the paper he had previously created.

In this way, he made thousands of volumes and actually put them on shelves where they would be sold from now on.

Seeing the earlier empty shelves filled with manga volumes, Rob felt a sense of accomplishment enveloping his being.

After careful consideration of the average financial condition of the Ohara people, Rob decided the price for 1,000 Berry per volume.

In addition, this price was the minimum allowed by the system.

For archaeologists and well-to-do citizens, this price was really just a symbolic price, and for the poor also they could afford it in various ways.

All Rob really cares about is Art Points, as long as he gets more Art Points he'll be fine, Berry is just an extra bonus for him.

He will get art points from the customer's satisfaction, if the customer is satisfied with reading the manga and has a desire for more, he will get more art points in addition to the exp that will be the important factor to raise the level of the system .

"Now is the time for the important moment."

Rob walked steadily to the store's reception counter which is in the front of the interior space right near the door, here where he could receive customers and start the official sale.

"Open!"

The moment he finished speaking, the golden-colored shop gate opened wide, welcoming the first batch of customers.

Outside, the crowd of dozens of men and women noticed the gate of the mysterious store slowly opening.

They were finally ready to explore what was inside this divine building.

What kind of art could be found behind those golden gates.

And what kind of art where you can enjoy with it by the future of the world?!

The world froze at this moment as if Pandora's box was being to opening at this moment.

No one felt the laws of the world that seemed to tremble right now.

Especially the law of fate.
