The Gran Tesoro.

  "So, a has chosen to flee, huh?"

  "Heh, does she feel that there's no hope of obtaining the Yae Miko's tempte from Arton anymore?"

  "That's quite a wise decision."

  "But then, if this woman really falls here, the future where she steals the Gran Tesoro won't happen, right?"

  "This might well be sidered ging the future."

  "And the key factor in ging the future, is you, Arton."

  Baccarat had just returned from a bath, wearing only a white bathrobe, her hair still damp.

  However, upon notig the new tent that appeared in the diary copy,

  She couldn't care less about her appearance.

  Realizing that Arton's arrival could ge the future events, she became excited.

  Simirly, intelligent people like Nico Robin, Gion, Hina, Charlotte Smoothie, and Vinsmoke Reiju also came to this realization and paid special attention to the tent that might appear in the diary copy.

  .....

  [Speaking of the Bck Cat Pirates, that reminds me of the beautiful and i Kaya.]

  "Eh?!" Kaya couldn't help exg upon seeing the new tent in the diary.

  Then she realized Khadore was nearby and quickly shook her head at him, indig it was nothing.

  'Why would Artoion me? I don't have any e with the Bck Cat Pirates, do I?'

  'Wait, does my future have something to do with the Bck Cat Pirates?'

  Kaya, thinking she might enter the notorious Bck Cat Pirates, became nervous.

  Her heart was filled with doubts.

  Fortunately, Arton didn't stop rec in the diary.

  Soon, matters regarding the Bck Cat Pirates and Kaya surfaced in the diary.

  [Although Jango is currently the captain of the Bck Cat Pirates, that's only the case on the surface.]

  [The Bck Cat Pirates, after all, are still uhe trol of Captain Kuro.]

  [This guy is also something else, tired of being a pirate, he used Jango's hypnosis to hypnotize a marine, making that marine believe they had captured Kuro.]

  [Iy, that Captain Kuro was just a deced by the real Captain Kuro.]

  [Heh, who would have thought, a seemingly unremarkable marine recruit would eventually bee a marine Captain because of such a fake Captain Kuro.]

  [Speaking of which, the former marihe future "Axe-Hand Man," was arguably nurtured by Captain Kuro as well.]

  [I really want to see it, the one who wounded Garp and made him bleed.]

  [Tsk tsk, the name "Axe-Hand" is truly well-deserved for this person.]

  "What, Garp will be wounded and bleed iure?!"

  Gion's beautiful eyes widened in shock, and she even actally crushed the feather pen in her hand due to the surprise while w at her desk.

  "How could such a thing happen!"

  "That's Marine Hero Garp we're talking about."

  "Axe-Hand? I've never heard of such a person."

  "And acc to Arton, this Axe-Hand was or is still serving in the marines?"

  Gion's brows furrowed tightly.

  A wound on Marine Hero Garp is no small matter.

  With Garp's strength, the only people Gion could think of who could injure him and then escape would be someone of the Four Emperors' caliber.

  A, such a person was, or is, serving in the marines.

  This made Gion even more surprised.

  "A marine of no renow wounded Vice Admiral Garp and chose to flee."

  "Such a person must not be uimated."

  "'Axe-Hand,' does that mean this marine is someone who uses an axe?"

  Gion's mind raced, sidering the marines known for wielding axes.

  However, try as she might, Gion couldn't think of anyone who could injure Garp.

  "'t Arton be more straightforward?"

  Gion sighed, her gaze towards the diary tinged with a bit of rese.

  The already weak urge to sleep she had vanished in an instant.

  Hina, Ain, and other navy officers felt a simir se at this moment.

  Not just the navy.

  Among the pirates, Charlotte Smoothie, Reiju, and others also memorized the title "Axe-Hand" in an instant, inwardly curious about what kind of person the "Axe-Hand " could be.

  [Got off topic, got off topic, how did I end up talking about the "Axe-Hand "?]

  [Let's go back to the lovely Kaya and the flict between her and the Bck Cat Pirates.]

  Seeing such tent, Kaya's expression immediately became serious.

  [Speaking of which, that Captain Kuro was really something.]

  [With such a brilliant mind, his intelligence could be said to be just slightly lower than that of Benn Be.]

  [But his way of retiring was to find a double to get caught by the navy in his stead.]

  [Then he himself went to live in a wealthy mert's house under a false name, spending three years to gain the mert's trust.]

  [In the end, to legally i the mert's wealth, he even summohe Bck Cat Pirates to the mert's house to stage a py of pirates f Kaya to give up her wealth, making it look legitimate to pass on to himself.]

  [Tsk, this guy is either not as smart as he thinks, or his head got caught in a door.]

  [With such a smart brain, three years would have been enough to start from scratd make a fortune.]

  [Or is it that the wealth of my lovely Kaya's family is more than I imagined?]

  'This 't be real, it?!'

  Kaya's eyes involuntarily wideo their fullest upon reading this.
