In the first half of the Grand Lihe world's rgest maritime eai city, Gran Tesoro, is bustling with activity.

  At this moment, Baccarat, the guide on the Gran Tesoro and one of the trusted fruit users of the Golden Emperor Tesoro, is looking at a diary that others ot see. On the cover of this diary, the words "Arton's Diary (Baccarat's Copy)" are clearly written.

  "The Yae Miko character tempte, huh? Truly a beautiful and powerful force."

  "That Arton is pnning to actively give such power to that a?"

  "However, it seems Arton has seen through her character and has abahe idea of giving her Yae Miko's power."

  Baccarat sits in a chair, sippiea while smiling and looking at the diary. As a member of the Gran Tesoro crew, she has been particurly atteo the diary ever sioiohat a would steal the Gran Tesoro from the Golden Emperor iure.

  She wao see if Arton would reveal how a mao steal Gran Tesoro iure. However, she didn't expect to wait not for Arton's spoilers about the future but for a Yae Miko tempte more precious than a Devil Fruit.

  "Devil Fruits should not flict with Arton's character temptes, right?"

  "If I could gain the power of Yae Miko, that would be wonderful."

  "Perhaps, even without relying on Tesoro, I could have the highest quality of life in this world."

  Baccarat stretches slightly, her eyes full of fondness for a high-quality life. For her, joining the Golden Emperor was entirely because he could provide her with the vish lifestyle she desired.

  She doesn't have much loyalty to the Golden Emperor.

  Not to mention, she has now learhat a will steal Gran Tesoro iure.

  This has iably made Baccarat think about leaving the Golden Emperor.

  After all, if a steal Gran Tesoro iure, it only means something has happeo the Golden Emperor.

  And if something happens to Golden Emperor Tesoro, then those under his and, like her, probably won't be spared either.

  For her own safety, Baccarat naturally does not want to tiaying by the Golden Emperor's side.

  Especially now that a has met Arton. If a doesn't ultimately receive help from Arton, it might still be okay. But if a does get Arton's help, whether in terms of strength or future insights Arton shares with her, it could signifitly increase the ces of a taking away the eai city of Golden Emperor Tesoro.

  Just thinking about this possibility makes Baccarat increasingly relut to stay by the Golden Emperor's side. If it weren't for the fact that Arton and a are now in the East Blue, and Golden Emperor Tesoro's Gran Tesoro is in the New World, Baccarat would already be thinking about pag her bags and leaving.

  "East Blue, huh? If I go there now, is there a ce to obtain the power of Yae Miko from Arton?"

  "But the distance from the New World to the East Blue is ioo far."

  "Moreover, Arton could see through a's insiy about wanting to be his crewmate."

  "That meaion is futile with him."

  "If I don't go there with enough siy, even if I meet him, he probably won't give me the Yae Miko tempte or any other tempte."

  Baccarat murmured to herself.

  After notig no new tent in the diary, she became ied and pulled up her own photos and doujinshis.

  "It's intriguing artwork. That man must have created simir doujinshis for many people in this world."

  "It seems he has quite a fondness for sexual matters."

  "I wonder if he would be willing to sell me temptes like Yae Miko's if I allow him to do some of the things depicted in those doujinshis."

  Baccarat's lips curved into a smile, and as her gaze swept over a se in the drawing where she danced upon Arton, she couldn't help but lick her lips unsciously.

  "Perhaps, it's worth trying to trade using the ses depicted in these drawings."

  "Arton, a man like you, will e to the New World, won't you?"

  With a slight blush on her face, Baccarat chuckled softly.

  …..

  In the East Blue,

  ["Let me think, if not giving the tempte to a, then to whom should it go?"]

  "Give it to me, if a doesn't want the tempte, you give it to me."

  Nami couldn't help but stand up, vigorously waving her small fist as if her words could somehow reach Arton.

  "If I had the power of Yae Miko, I wouldn't o tinue saving up 100 million Berries to buy back Cocoyasi Vilge."

  "With that power, I could definitely defeat Arlong and save Cocoyasi Vilge, even avenge Bellmere!"

  Nami nearly gritted her teeth as she spoke, her hatred for the Arlong Pirates evident.

  The intense desire to defeat the Arlong Pirates and avenge Bellmere momentarily made her fet that the initial version of the Yae Miko tempte could not directly bestow all of Yae Miko's powers on the user.

  "No, I 't just watch."

  "If Arton is looking for someoher than a to receive Yae Miko's power,"

  "Why 't that person be me?"

  "I must find him before Arton gives Yae Miko's power to someone else."

  Nami's eyes sharpened, and she immediately took out a map of the East Blue to calcute the possible location of Arton and a.

  She is different from a.

  If it means redeeming Cocoyasi Vilge, she's willing to join Arton wholeheartedly.

  Sion sense whether someoruly wishes to join him, Nami believes Arton also sense her sincere desire to join.

  Not just Nami, but at this moment, other women in the world of pirates fag difficulties and hoping for power, upon seeing Arton's iion to find someoo i Yae Miko's power, also harbored the thought of finding Arton, joining him, and ultimately obtaining Yae Miko's power.

  This includes Princess Vivi, who wants to save her try from peril;

  Princess Vio, who wants to defeat Dofmingo;

  Rebecca, who seeks to avenge her mother;

  Kozuki Hiyori, who wants to save Wano try, among others.

  Of course, this also includes Nami's adoptive sister, Nojiko, who shares the goal of saving Cocoyasi Vilge.
