Chapter 45 – Find Arton!

[It is said that those with sufficiently strong Haki can prevent Devil Fruit abilities from affecting them.]

[In the anime, the abilities demonstrated by Uta's Song-Song Fruit were indeed formidable.]

[However, this world is the real world, and whether the Song-Song Fruit can pull those with strong Haki into a virtual musical world remains to be seen.]

[Or perhaps, people with strong Haki are easily pulled into the virtual musical world when they are off guard, but when they arm themselves with Haki, the Song-Song Fruit's abilities become ineffective?]

[Hmm... never mind, these things can't be understood just by thinking about them.]

[We really need to find Uta and conduct tests in person.]

[Tashigi: Haki can counteract Devil Fruit abilities? Is that true?]

[Gion: Strong Haki indeed has the ability to neutralize some Devil Fruit powers. Who would have thought Arton knew this too, isn't it just like someone who knows the past and future?]

[Hina: Vice Admiral Zephyr mentioned that one's own strength is the most important, could it be for this reason?]

[Ain: I always feel that Arton's value isn't limited to his knowledge of the past and future, his understanding of many powers is also an advantage.]

[Gion: Indeed! If he and his companions fully understand this world and the path of training, they might grow stronger at an even more terrifying rate.]

Not just Gion and the others were moved by this revelation.

When Arton disclosed that Haki could resist Devil Fruit powers, naturally, many people were surprised.

In fact, some have already planned to test some Devil Fruit powers with their own Haki.

[Speaking of Haki, that guy Shanks' Conqueror's Haki is really strong.]

[Once he unleashes his Conqueror's Haki, even Navy Vice Admiral Momonga is rendered immobile.]

[Tsk tsk, I wonder who started the rumor that Shanks is the weakest of the Four Emperors.]

[If you ask me, he's probably the strongest among the current Four Emperors.]

[Deserving of being the only man among the seven emperors of the past and present generations who doesn't rely on Devil Fruit powers.]

[Truly a man who embodies Haki to its fullest.]

[It's just that his handling of Uta situation was a bit lacking. Indeed, when I see him, I really need to have a good talk with him.]

Boom!

The women holding the diary felt as if thunder had exploded in their minds.

Everyone was incredulously looking at Arton's mention of "the seven emperors of the past and present generations."

Especially those like Whitey Bay, Black Maria, and Ulti, who had just begun to ease their worries.

Whitey Bay, Black Maria, Ulti, and others understood what Arton's words meant.

It meant that in the future, not only Big Mom would lose her position as one of the Four Emperors.

Ain: "Past and present generations… seven emperors… does that mean three of the current Four Emperors will be stepping down?"

Hina: "What exactly happened in the future? Hina is very surprised!"

Charlotte Smoothie: "Besides Mom, two others will lose the title of Emperor, who could they be?"

Gion: "Shanks' Conqueror's Haki can immobilize Vice Admiral Momonga?! Could it be that he will remain as one of the previous generation's emperors?"

Monet: "This is madness, utter madness. What on earth happened in the future? I hope our young master will be safe!"

Yamato: "Haha, it must involve Kaido. He's definitely going to lose his position as one of the Four Emperors."

Nico Robin: "It seems the future will welcome major chaos. I wonder if this will be advantageous in my search for the True History!"

Boa Hancock: "The Four Emperors are facing such significant impacts. Could Shichibukai also be affected?"

Koala: "This is bad... Could it also affect the Revolutionary Army?!"

Belo Betty: "In the end, who will remain?"

Stussy: "According to Arton, Shanks appears to be the strongest among the current Four Emperors. Maybe he will be the one who remains."

Ulti: "Hmph, Captain Kaido will surely remain. Shanks, Big Mom, and Whitebeard will all be replaced."

Koala: "Damn, I'm so curious. What exactly will happen in the future, and who will be the new Three Emperors?! This change in the position of the Four Emperors won't affect the Revolutionary Army, will it?!"

Whitey Bay: "Who will be the one to stay behind?! No, we can't wait any longer, we must find Arton as soon as possible!"

At this moment, Arton's words have already caused a significant stir.

The ladies who were hesitating about whether to seek Arton are now preparing to set out to sea.

All in hopes of acquiring enough strength through Arton before the future changes occur.

Or perhaps, to find Arton's assistance and protection.
