[I have a grudge against the Navy and the Celestial Dragons, so it seems destined that I become a pirate and establish my own pirate crew.]
[If it weren't for knowing there's such an excellent singer as Uta in this world, inviting Carina to be the singer wouldn't be a bad idea.]
[Hmm... Even if Carina doesn't serve as a singer in the pirate crew, she could still take on the role of a thief.]
[Then, she could use her skills to steal treasures for my pirate crew from other places.]
[However, the premise is that this great thief is willing to become my partner.]
[Inviting Carina carries risks; if I'm not careful and she runs off with my pirate ship like she did with the Golden Emperor Tesoro's entertainment ship, that would be problematic.]
"Deciding to become a pirate?" Nami furrowed her beautiful brows:
"But since he's considering inviting Carina to join, he probably won't do anything to her, right?"
"Carina would run off with the Golden Emperor's ship? Is that something that happens in the future?"
Nami took another look at the "Photo: Carina Singing," growing curious about Carina's future.
Similarly, she became increasingly curious about Arton, who knew Carina's future.
"Arton, do you also know my future?"
"Is there a scene in the future where I redeem Cocoyasi Village?"
Nami pursed her lips, murmuring softly.
...
After Carina finished singing, Arton had already cleared away the pirates' bodies.
Similarly, he had set the sails, allowing the pirate ship to sail forward with the power of the wind.
"The song was really nice to listen to."
"As long as you're satisfied, savior."
"Of course, I'm satisfied. I even have the idea of having you stay by my side as my singer, haha."
"If you can guarantee my safety, I am willing to become your singer."
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Even if I'm going to establish a pirate crew?"
"My life was saved by you. If you're going to establish a pirate crew, then naturally I can join."
"Hehe, I'm touched. Since you've said so, then I'll make you my first crew member, although I haven't had the chance to design a pirate flag yet."
"If you don't mind, I can help you design it."
"No, I'm a professional when it comes to drawing. I'll handle the pirate flag myself."
"Alright then, savior, no, I should now refer to you as the captain."
Carina's lips curled up in a smile as she spoke to Arton.
Inside the Giant Tiger Pirate Crew's ship, there were quite a few treasures brought by Carina and confiscated by the Giant Tiger Pirate Crew.
And now, these treasures naturally fell into the hands of Arton, who had taken down the Giant Tiger Pirate Crew.
Carina hadn't given up on these treasures.
Since Arton had the idea of making her a singer,
Naturally, Carina had the idea of using her status as a singer to "retrieve" the treasures from Arton.
"Captain, huh? That's a nice title."
"But Carina, in my mind, there's already a candidate for the singer role."
"So, in my pirate crew, you might have to take on another role."
Arton laughed.
"Eh! Captain, do you think my singing is bad?"
"Not at all. Your singing is very good; it's just that the one in my mind is too perfect for the role of the singer."
"I see... Can you tell me who she is?"
"Her name is Uta."
"Uta? I've never heard of her. Is she someone you know, Captain?"
"In a way, you could say she's an acquaintance of mine."
Arton replied to Carina with a smile, his lips curling upwards.
Arton wasn't too surprised that Carina hadn't heard of Uta's name.
After all, Uta only truly became famous two years later.
It's indeed possible that Carina hadn't heard of Uta's name at this point in time.
As for inviting Uta to be the singer of the pirate crew, Arton's interest wasn't solely because of Uta's singing ability.
More so, Arton was interested in Uta's unique Devil Fruit, the Uta Uta no Mi.
"I really want to meet this Uta you speak of, Captain."
"By the way, I still don't know your name, Captain."
"Now that we're going to be crewmates, can you tell me your name?"
Carina placed her hand by her lips, looking at Arton with a cute expression.
"My name? You can call me Arton."
Arton laughed.
"I see, so your name is Arton... Wait, Arton?!"
Carina's eyes widened in shock as she looked at Arton.
Then, she immediately summoned her own diary copy and began flipping through it.
Quickly, Carina's expression became incredibly odd.
There was shock, and there was worry.
"What's wrong, Carina?"
"Is there something strange about my name?"
Arton, noticing Carina's expression, asked curiously.
