East Blue.
[Ding! Today's diary reward has been issued. Congratulations, host, for accumulating a total of 550 points.]
[Reminder: You are now eligible for one intermediate lottery draw.]
"An intermediate draw? Let's do it."
[Ding! Starting lottery draw… Congratulations, host, you have obtained the "Tsunade Template (Beginner Level)", using this template will initially grant you Tsunade's strength, experience, and knowledge.]
[To use the "Tsunade Template (Beginner Level)", the user needs to possess at least three of the following attributes: female, blonde, medical skills, great strength, gambler, ninja, princess, big breasts]
"Wow, it's Tsunade!"
"Although Kaya isn't very lucky, she does have the 'female', 'blonde', and 'medical skills' attributes."
"She can use Tsunade's powers."
"Kaya loves medical arts."
"If she can gain Tsunade's medical skills, she'd probably be eager to go to sea with me."
Arton's lips curled into a smile, and he stood up from the lounge chair.
Originally, he had been thinking about how to invite Kaya to sea.
After all, forcing someone to sea is never good.
Especially someone as gentle and lovely as Kaya; and forcing someone to sea can never compare to someone voluntarily following to sea.
After all, who would want to trust their back to someone forced to sea?
Especially a doctor.
Arton thought that if someone ventured to be enemy of a competent doctor, they would most likely end up in a bad way.
Just like Tsunade from the world of Naruto.
Jiraiya and Tsunade were of similar strength, but Tsunade managed to administer even a medicine that could weaken a Kage-level ninja without Jiraiya noticing.
Arton felt that inviting Kaya would be difficult without the Tsunade template, but with Tsunade's template, the situation would be completely different.
As long as Kaya wanted to study medical arts, Tsunade's knowledge would be something she couldn't refuse.
At this moment, Arton didn't know that Kaya had already been thinking about following him to sea because of the diary copy.
Unless something unexpected happens, once the issue with Kuro is settled, Kaya will follow him to sea to see the world for herself.
Of course, Arton's satisfaction with the Tsunade template isn't just because Tsunade's medical knowledge would help in inviting Kaya.
Tsunade's strength is also why Arton likes this template.
Thinking about Kaya eventually becoming a doctor like Tsunade, possessing tremendous strength and exceptional medical skills, Arton couldn't help but look forward to seeing what Kaya would be like after accepting the Tsunade template.
"Arton, what's wrong?"
Carina noticed Arton's actions and looked over, puzzled.
"It's nothing." Arton shook his head, looking at the visible coastline, and said, "Carina, get ready, we're going to land."
"Got it." Carina nodded.
Following Arton's gaze, she indeed saw the coast.
At that moment, Uta also approached with brisk steps.
Just as she was about to greet Arton and discuss developing combined techniques together, a notification from the diary copy caught her attention.
Carina noticed it too.
[Finally reached the destination.]
[I wonder if Kaya would want to go to sea with me as a pirate after dealing with Captain Kuro.]
[I hope it's not just about handing me a ship and calling it done.]
[If that's the case, the new "Tsunade Template (Beginner Level)" will need to be given to someone else.]
[Hmm… there are many doctors in this world, but it seems only Kaya truly fits the "Tsunade Template (Beginner Level)."]
[Wait, I remember that the giant named Gerd is also a ship's doctor. Blonde, skilled in medicine, and well-endowed. Being a giant, she has an even more exaggerated breasts, which indeed could suit Tsunade's power.]
[As a giant, she naturally has much greater strength than ordinary humans, which also fits Tsunade's attribute of 'great strength.']
[It seems like Gerd might have more in common with Tsunade than Kaya.]
[However, this lady is currently in the New World, at Elbaf. Even if I wanted to find her to be the ship's doctor, it seems difficult.]
[After all, Tsunade's power should still be reserved for Kaya.]
Nami: "There it is again, a new template! But why is it always someone else? There are so many doujinshis about me in the diary copy, doesn't Arton plan to leave a character template for me too?"
Kaya: "Arton-san actually got a doctor's template! That's great! But, to think that a giant warrior is my competitor..."
Gerd: "A template about a doctor, and Arton even mentioned me! I wonder what this Tsunade's power is really like."
Kujaku: "A doctor's template, huh? If this Tsunade's medical skills are sufficient, it might be even more useful to the Navy than the previous Elizabeth Bathory and Yae Miko templates."
Tashigi: "This is bad, Vice Admiral Gion is heading to Syrup Village. If we don't understand Tsunade's power, could it affect the Vice Admiral's mission?"
Gion: "A character template for doctors... But the fact that Arton mentioned Kaya, Gerd, and the compatibility points with Tsunade's attributes, does it mean that one needs to match the template's attributes to use its power?"
Black Maria thought to herself: "According to Arton, to obtain a character template one does not need to fully possess all the attributes of the template; meeting certain characteristics is enough."
Charlotte Smoothie murmured, "Even if only certain characteristics need to be met, the difficulty of obtaining a character template has increased. Indeed, forming an alliance with Pudding, Galette, and others was the right decision."
At that moment, a glint of wisdom flashed in Charlotte Smoothie's eyes.
She understood that even if she could secure Arton in the future, it wasn't certain that she would obtain a character template from him.
After all, Arton's acquisition of character templates is filled with randomness.
And after Arton acquires a character template, whether she can use it herself also depends on how well her attributes match the character template, adding another layer of uncertainty.
If a character template that doesn't suit her appears, Smoothie might have to let Arton give it to Pudding, Custard, Cinnamon, and Galette to use.
Although this means she wouldn't gain power herself, Smoothie believes that since she has formed an alliance with her sisters, and helped them obtain character templates from Arton, then one day, when Arton has a character template suitable for Smoothie, they would also help her.
And this is the purpose of forming an alliance.
This point was not only clear to Charlotte Smoothie.
Black Maria, Gion, Stussy, and other clever girls also thought of this.
Gradually, their thoughts on how to deal with Arton after meeting him began to change.
