"Yae Miko can use her Elemental Skill for instant movement."
"If I can combine this move with swordsmanship."
"Perhaps I could use a move similar to the effect of [Thunderclap and Flash] mastered by Zenitsu Agatsuma in the Demon Slayer world."
"If I add the Flame of Sun Breathing, the power of this move should be quite impressive."
Arton thought to himself.
Naturally, the Thunder Breathing used by Agatsuma Zenitsu wouldn't be stronger than the Sun Breathing used by Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
But Agatsuma Zenitsu's [Thunderclap and Flash] still has considerable utility.
Arton felt that if he could really combine the Sun Breathing slash with Yae Miko's Elemental skill, maybe he wouldn't have needed to spend so much time dealing with Garp's assistant.
"And later, if I could also integrate Yae Miko's Elemental Burst, perhaps, I could defeat Garp's vice admiral in an instant."
Thinking of such a result, Arton felt an immense heat in his heart.
After recording his current appearance with the diary system and uploading it, he directly started practicing.
For a while, Arton turned into a whirlwind of fire-entwined lightning, continuously moving and shifting on the deck.
Uta, Jango, and the others could only see Arton's afterimage moving.
In the following days, Arton kept a diary while developing new sword techniques with Carina through their fusion.
As time passed, Arton felt himself becoming more proficient in using the power of Yae Miko.
Finally, as they were about to arrive at Syrup Village, Arton perfected the sword technique he had envisioned.
With a single slash, Arton's body seemed to truly transform into lightning, appearing hundreds of meters away on the sea surface as fast as lightning.
And the air where Arton's sword passed seemed to be cut by a floating, slowly flowing line of energy entwined with lightning and flame.
Jango and the others merely watching this floating energy slash instinctively stepped back, as if even a slight touch would turn them to ash.
At that moment, a flash of light passed over Arton.
When the light faded, Carina and Arton separated from their merged state and both fell into the sea.
"What an incredible power."
"I didn't expect you to actually be able to combine the power of Yae Miko with your own."
"Arton, should we name this technique?"
Carina wrapped her arms around Arton's neck, swimming with him back towards the pirate ship, and asked.
"A name, huh? Let's call it [Thunderclap Flash: Lightning Fire Godspeed]."
Thinking of the image of Agatsuma Zenitsu using [Thunderclap and Flash: Godspeed], Arton immediately named the sword technique he had developed.
After saying this, he leaped back onto the deck.
"A good name, if we ever encounter an enemy we can't handle, you can rely on my power."
"After all, you can only use this move when you merge with me."
Carina patted Arton's shoulder, smiling.
Arton responded with a smile and used the Flame of Sun Breathing to dry the seawater on them both.
"Let's rest for a while."
"After both our stamina have recovered, let's continue our research and see if we can enhance the power of this move."
Arton said with a smile.
He hadn't forgotten his earlier idea of integrating Yae Miko's elemental burst technique into his sword technique.
"Again, Arton, are you sure you're not just trying to sneak a peek at me undressed after we merge?"
"You don't have to be so roundabout, if you want, I can just..."
Carina leaned close to Arton's ear, speaking in a seductive voice.
However, before she could finish, seeing the meaningful smile on Arton's face, Carina stopped speaking.
"What's the matter, not going to continue, Carina?"
After placing Carina on a nearby sun lounger, Arton also found a chair to sit down, looking at Carina with interest.
"Um, would you like some fruit, Arton?"
Carina glanced at the fruit on the table, smiling as she suggested to Arton.
She had initially intended to tease Arton subconsciously.
But at that moment, she remembered.
If she really said such things to Arton, he might actually make her fulfill her promise.
Under such circumstances, Carina had no choice but to change the subject.
"Hehe, a shy fox, huh?"
"That's quite nice."
Arton smiled, accepting the fruit Carina handed him.
Then, he recorded the newly explored move in the diary.
[Video: New Skill — Thunderclap Flash: Lightning Fire Godspeed!]
"Great, another ten points scored."
Carina saw the content in the diary, her face lighting up with joy.
Then, she took the initiative to peel an apple for Arton.
"What, I have a template too."
"No way, when I'm free, I also want to merge with Arton."
Uta glanced at the new video Arton uploaded, full of envy.
"Good, we're about to arrive at Syrup Village."
"My job will soon be over."
Uta glanced at the now faintly visible Syrup Village in the distance, muttering to herself.
If Uta could be so envious of Carina, not to mention the other diary copyholders.
Nami: "Wuwuwu, I'm not envious at all, really not envious!"
Rebecca: "Such a powerful sword technique, much more powerful than what the soldier-san taught!"
Kalifa: "With this kind of power, I no longer have a way to stop Arton, can only hope someone capable stops him from troubling the Celestial Dragons."
