East Blue.

On the pirate ship of the Giant Tiger Pirate Crew.

"Hey, are you okay?"

After recording his own battle with his consciousness, Arton walked over to the only woman left on the pirate ship.

"No, don't kill me."

"I'm not with the Giant Tiger Pirate Crew."

"I was just captured."

The woman, Carina, placed her hands in front of her, showing a worried expression to Arton.

"Don't worry, I don't plan to kill you."

"I saw them trying to harm you earlier."

"By the way, what's your name?"

Arton asked.

"I, I'm Carina."

"Hm? Carina?"

"No... no, that's right, um, is there something wrong with my name?"

"Nothing's wrong, your name is nice, quite lovely."

"Is it?"

Carina pursed her lips, looking at Arton who was sizing her up, and immediately categorized him as someone lecherous.

'Hmph, that's fine.'

'Just the opportunity to use this guy to get away from this area.'

'It's about time for the treasure hunter Mad Treasure and his crew to come here, isn't it?'

After thinking it through, Carina intentionally stumbled and fell into Arton's arms.

"My savior, thank you for rescuing me."

"I'm a bit embarrassed to say this."

"But could you help me again?"

Carina lifted her head, her clear eyes directly meeting Arton's.

"What do you need my help with?"

"I want you to take me away from this sea area, someone is chasing me!"

"Really, is it the comrades of these pirates?"

"No, someone stronger and more vicious than them."

"I see, have you done something to offend them?"

"I didn't offend them; they are human traffickers who wanted to sell me to nobles as a singer."

"Human trafficking, huh... What if I told you that I'm also strong and can defeat those traffickers you mentioned?"

"That would be too risky. There's a ship here; let's just leave like this, please."

"Alright, since you've said so. By the way, what do you do?"

"Me? I'm just a singer who sings in a hotel."

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Then how did you end up with the Giant Tiger Pirate Crew?"

"I ran away from the human traffickers, but soon after, I encountered the Giant Tiger Pirate Crew."

"I see! Well, I promise to take you away from this sea area, but in exchange, you'll sing a song for me."

"No problem, my savior."

Carina nodded, then adjusted her posture and began to sing softly.

Arton's lips curled up as he watched Carina's performance. He used the system's photo function to take a perfect picture of Carina while she was singing.

[Photo: Carina Singing!]

[How interesting, to encounter Carina here.]

[I didn't recognize her at first.]

[Though this is also related to Carina's current attire, indeed, there are slight differences between the real Carina and the Carina from the manga and anime.]

[But no matter, the real-world Carina is still beautiful.]

[Unexpectedly, the first female protagonist from the doujinshi I meet in this world is her.]

[And, she even told me she's just an ordinary singer!]

[Haha, she'll never know that I'm a transmigrator, and I know her details quite well.]

[A great thief who roamed the East Blue with Nami, a woman who lives by her wits on the sea, how could she possibly be just an ordinary singer.]

[But, I have to say, Carina's singing is indeed quite extraordinary.]

[No wonder she could become the ace singer of the Golden Emperor in the future.]

[It's a pity, this one truly deserves to be Nami's partner in thievery, as vixen as Nami.]

[In terms of ranking potential wives, her position can't be at the front.]

Arton, supporting his chin with one hand, after recording in the diary, started cleaning up the pirate ship to the sound of Carina's singing.

Meanwhile, Gion, looking at Arton's message, fell into thought.

"Not recognizing this girl named Carina right away?"

"That means, if I disguise myself a bit, maybe Arton won't be able to recognize me either."

Gion murmured to herself, with another plan to approach Arton forming in her mind.

Nami frowned slightly, her eyes closely following the new content on the diary copy.

"This man Arton, he actually knows I once partnered with Carina."

"Does he really know the past and the future?!"

"And Carina, she's encountered the treasure hunter crew again?"

"Those guys really are persistent."

"No, this isn't the time to worry about the treasure hunters."

"Bitch, you've been recognized by Arton."

Nami let out a long sigh, at this point, all she could hope was for Arton not to harm Carina.
