47 Chapter 47 – The Treasure pirates appears 

Carina looked into Uta's eyes and sighed, "It's truly fitting that Arton chose you as the songstress. Even without mentioning your singing skills or the power of your Devil Fruit, your pure love for singing surpasses mine. You indeed are more suited to be the songstress aboard."

Uta, hearing Carina's words, was naturally very happy, "Thank you for your compliment, but when do we go to find Arton? He mentioned earlier about giving me the Lancer Elizabeth template. If possible, I'd like to try Elizabeth's powers soon."

Carina expressed her understanding. Only someone like her, who had already received a character template, would know the magic of character templates. It's not just about granting a power similar to a Devil Fruit; it also changes one's talent, allowing for rapid growth in strength through training.

In Carina's view, since the Lancer Elizabeth has dragon-related attributes, it's possible that after Uta receives Elizabeth's template, she could become not weaker than Carina herself through training. Thus, Uta's eagerness to obtain it soon is natural.

"I will take you to meet Captain Arton," Carina said. "But there are some things we need to agree on beforehand. Regarding the diary copies, we mustn't let Captain Arton find out about it. Otherwise, who knows how he'll react."

As she spoke, Carina summoned her diary copy.

[Detected: Nearby Arton's diary copy holder. Add as a friend?]

The same prompt suddenly appeared on both Carina's and Uta's diary copies. They looked at each other and without hesitation, added each other as friends.

[Carina: There's actually such a function. Through the friend interface, we can communicate directly through the diary copy without speaking!]

[Uta: It's really amazing… It seems good things do happen when you meet someone with a diary copy. By the way, Carina, I agree to what you said earlier. Don't worry, I won't let Arton know about the diary copy, and even if I wanted to hint at it, I probably couldn't even speak it out.]

[Carina: That's true. I've thought about telling Arton about the diary copy, but an invisible pressure suddenly stopped me. The only time I don't feel like I'm going to die from mentioning it is when I'm talking to you.]

[Uta: So, the diary copy is something only those who possess it can discuss and communicate about.]

[Carina: It seems so for now. I wonder how many others have a diary copy.]

[Uta: We'll find out over time. Speaking of which, this communication interface is really convenient. With it, we don't have to worry about Arton hearing our whispers. Even if we use the diary copy to mention the diary copy in front of him, there won't be any trouble. By the way, now that we've added each other as friends, shouldn't you take me to see Arton?]

[Carina: Yes, of course, but please allow me a moment to take care of some minor troubles first.]

After leaving the message, Carina gave Uta a big smile and then turned to look behind her. Uta followed Carina's gaze but saw nothing there.

"Carina, what are you looking at?"

Uta asked, puzzled.

"Hehe, just some old acquaintances."

Carina's mouth curved up as she took out her weapon, "Kagura's Verity," and lightly waved it towards the front.

The next moment, a bolt of lightning, like an arrow released from its bow, shot forward.

Lightning seemed to collide with something in mid-air, exploding on impact.

"Is this... an ability user who can turn invisible?"

Uta blinked in curiosity as she observed the man in the duckbill hat reveal his form due to the lightning strike, trembling from the power of the electricity.

As the man became visible, others around him began to emerge from the void one by one.

"Correct, this guy is named Psycho P, a Devil Fruit user who ate the Color-Color Fruit."

"Its effect is basically to change the surrounding colors."

"Of course, making himself and his companions invisible is also within his capabilities."

Carina wore a faint smile on her face, her gaze sweeping over Psycho P and settling on the tallest man in the crowd.

"Mad Treasure, hasn't anyone told you that being too clingy can make a woman dislike a man?"

The man Carina called Mad Treasure furrowed his brows, glanced at Psycho P, whose body was gradually ceasing to tremble, looked back at Carina, and said in a low voice:

"Carina, if it weren't for your cheating, taking what belongs to me, why would I chase after you?"

"Even so, chasing you has added some interest to my journey."

"And now, it seems you've become even more interesting."

"Carina, did you eat a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, or a Paramecia-type?"

Saying this, Mad Treasure looked meaningfully at the fox ears and tail that had appeared on Carina, and then at the lightning swirling around her weapon.

"Who knows? Why don't you come and find out for yourself?"

Carina's smile widened as she waved her hand, sending several bolts of lightning towards the treasure hunters charging at her.

In an instant, they were electrocuted and fell to the ground.
