[Today's luck is quite good.]
[After using 100 points for a basic draw and getting the "Raiden Ei Template (Initial Form)", I also spent 1000 points for an advanced draw and got the "Emiya Shirou Template Challenge Ticket."]
[Right now, I urgently need a thrilling, life-and-death battle.]
[Coming here to search for treasure with Buggy was the right decision.]
[If I can find Shiki, I can obtain Emiya Shirou's powers by defeating him.]
[The premise is that Shiki's strength shouldn't be as weak as described in the stories.]
[If he truly is only at the level of Shiki who would lose to a novice pirate who doesn't understand Haki, as in the anime...]
[Then the "Emiya Shirou Template Challenge Ticket" can't be used on him.]
[A regular battle wouldn't allow this challenge ticket to fully exert its effects.]
Nami: "Emiya Shirou? Arton has drawn another character template? Since I can't use Raiden Ei's template, I should be able to use Emiya Shirou's powers, right?"
Gion: "An advanced draw, and a template challenge ticket that I haven't seen before. What its effects will be…?"
Charlotte Smoothie: "I'm really curious about the powers of this Emiya Shirou and how they compare to Raiden Ei."
Black Maria: "Arton isn't seeking an alliance with Shiki; he intends to take him down?"
Whitey Bay: "Is there some grudge between Arton and Shiki? Or is he simply trying to use Shiki to make the 'Emiya Shirou Template Challenge Ticket' effective?"
Stussy: "A template challenge ticket requires combat to gain power. It seems quite different from the templates Arton has obtained before."
Tashigi: "A template that requires intense battles to be effective might not be very useful for a swordsman of my level."
Hina: "Regardless, if Arton plans to fight Shiki, it's beneficial for us. Be prepared, Tashigi. This might be our chance to escape the crisis and meet Arton."
Ain: "No matter what Arton's initial intention was in seeking out Shiki, if he can defeat him, it's good for the Navy as well."
Sadi: "Arton actually said Shiki would be defeated by a novice pirate who doesn't know Haki in the future? Which novice could have the ability to defeat Shiki?"
Domino: "After leaving Impel Down, his strength has weakened to that extent?"
Ulti: "A novice pirate, who could it be? And what exactly is this challenge ticket that Arton drew?"
It seemed as if Arton heard Ulti's last question.
Soon, he briefly introduced the rules of the template challenge ticket through his diary.
This also helped the women understand why Arton urgently needed a battle.
[Emiya Shirou, this man has many versions, but each version has his most iconic "Projection Magic".]
[The ability to quickly analyze, construct, and reinforce an object. Once I master it, it will be convenient for both combat and repairing household items.]
[However, compared to creating other things with Projection Magic, Emiya Shirou's Projection Magic is most suited for creating "sword" attributes.]
[After all, Emiya Shirou's origin is "sword", and his magic attribute is also "sword". Using Projection Magic to create swords is the most efficient and enhances the specifications of the magic.]
[Speaking of which, Emiya Shirou's Projection Magic can nearly perfectly replicate the swords of others, and even replicate the skills of the original sword's owner when projecting the sword.]
[If I project and replicate Mihawk's Black Sword Yoru, could I also replicate his swordsmanship skills?]
[Using Projection Magic to create other weapons, although more effortful compared to projecting swords, still allows for observing the skills of the weapon's user.]
[So if I project the giant Brogy's axe, can I also use the Giant's technique, Elbaf's Spear?]
[Hmm... better jot this down. After acquiring Emiya Shirou's power, I can test it out.]
Kalifa: "Projection... magic? The ability to replicate someone else's weapon and skills? How could such an unreasonable power exist?"
Gion: "When projecting a sword, the energy consumption is lower, and it can nearly perfectly replicate the original sword? Can my sword also be perfectly replicated by Emiya Shirou's Projection Magic?"
"Or is it that only ordinary weapons can be replicated by Projection Magic, and famous swords cannot?"
"No, it can't be! Arton seems to have high regard for Emiya Shirou's power. Perhaps even supreme grade swords can be replicated by Emiya Shirou's Projection Magic."
"If that's the case, then Emiya Shirou's ability would be extremely enviable for a swordsman."
Tashigi: "Emiya Shirou's origin is 'sword'? So, he's a swordsman too?"
Nami: "It looks like there's no chance for me. Boo hoo, Arton plans to use Emiya Shirou's template for himself."
Charlotte Smoothie: "Arton is going to gain new power again? I really want to see how strong you'll become."
Whitey Bay: "Projection Magic is just Emiya Shirou's basic power. So, does that mean he has even stronger powers?"
Stussy: "Hehe, this time will he gain power comparable to a Marine Admiral? It's truly fascinating~."
Uta, Kaya, and Carina stared intently at Arton, feeling a bit excited.
By now, the three of them were already Arton's companions, members of the Flame Blade Pirate Crew.
Naturally, they all hoped Arton would become stronger and stronger.
"Ahem, could you three stop staring at me like that?"
"You guys are making me embarrassed."
Arton's lips curled up as he spoke to the three companions before him.
"Captain Arton, you're not someone who gets embarrassed easily."
"Rather than that, shouldn't we get moving?"
"Didn't you say you need to go to the sky?"
Carina walked up to Arton, placed her right hand on his shoulder, and pointed to the sky with her left index finger.
"True, since we're here."
"No matter what, we have to go see the sky."
"In that case, I'll need your help, Carina."
Arton took Carina's hand, smiling as he spoke.
Carina blinked, and the next moment, she felt a familiar sensation spread throughout her body.
When her vision cleared, she realized she was now in a merged state with Arton.
"As expected, using Yae Miko's power, we can fly."
Arton surrounded himself with the power of lightning, and indeed, he began to float.
He smiled contentedly and said,
"Carina, I'll need to borrow your power for a while."
"Uta, Kaya, you two wait here for a bit."
With that, Arton prepared to ascend into the sky.
However, at that moment, Kaya and Uta each grabbed one of Arton's arms.
"What's wrong, Uta, Kaya?"
Arton looked down, puzzled.
"If you're going to fight Shiki, then I want to go too!"
"Arton, my abilities might be able to help you."
Uta placed her free hand on her chest, speaking earnestly to Arton.
"I-I want to go too!"
"I'm a doctor, Captain Arton, I can be useful to you."
Kaya nodded firmly as she spoke.
"But Shiki is Shiki after all."
"The sky is his domain."
"If his strength exceeds my expectations… I'm worried I won't be able to protect you both."
Arton shook his head, expressing his concern.
Uta was fine, her strength had significantly improved.
Arton believed Uta had some ability to protect herself.
But Kaya's abilities were still weak, and Arton was really worried about taking both of them along.
Regarding using Uta's Uta Uta no Mi ability to bring Shiki into the Uta World, that's not very realistic either.
After all, in the Uta World, Shiki could still attack Uta.
"Don't worry, Arton, we'll protect ourselves."
"At worst, Kaya and I can hide."
"Besides, during your fight, an island might fall from the sky."
"If you're not by our side, that's when we'll truly be in danger."
Uta quickly spoke up.
"This... alright, you've got a point, Uta."
"In that case, let's go up together."
"Uta, you should be able to summon wings."
"Can you carry Kaya?"
Arton asked.
"Yes, yes, don't worry."
Uta confidently patted her chest and then activated Elizabeth's template, summoning wings on her back.
After a few attempts, Uta successfully flew up.
"Great, follow me."
Arton nodded at Uta and then headed upwards.
Uta placed her hands in front of Kaya, holding her as they followed Arton's figure.
"Hey, Arton, are you really going to find Shiki?"
Buggy shouted anxiously as he saw Arton ascending higher.
"Haha, of course."
"Buggy, if you don't want to be hit by an island that might fall from the sky, then you better leave here quickly."
"Oh, and make sure your crew watches over my ship."
"If anything is missing, we'll have a serious talk."
Arton waved at Buggy, flying faster and faster.
In no time, his figure, along with Uta and Kaya, disappeared from Buggy's sight.
"This madman, he's really going to fight Shiki!"
Buggy frowned, looking worried.
"Buggy, what should we do next?"
Alvida stepped forward and asked.
"Let's go, leave this island."
"If Shiki is up there, we could really get caught in the crossfire."
Thinking of the power he had witnessed from Shiki before, Buggy felt a wave of fear.
"Hurry up, Alvida."
"Also, make sure to take care of Arton's ship."
"If they come back successfully and find their ship missing, that would be a real problem."
After saying this, Buggy quickly ran towards his crew.
Meanwhile, after ascending for some time, Arton finally saw his target.
"Sure enough, there are islands in the sky."
"Being able to float so many islands and streams."
"Shiki, you're indeed someone who has mastered the Float-Float Fruit to perfection."
Arton muttered to himself, then immediately took photos of the floating islands in front of him and uploaded them to his diary.
