Chapter 169: Chapter 134.5 – Nami’s transformation
At the same time, the commotion around Nami caught the attention of others on the ship.
Carina, Uta, Tashigi, and the others quickly rushed over.
When they saw Nami's body gradually changing into Raiden Shogun's outfit, surrounded by lightning, they all showed expressions of amazement.
Carina gritted her teeth as she watched Nami, now surrounded by lightning.
"Damn it, Nami actually managed to deceive Arton into giving her Raiden Shogun's power?"
"Raiden Shogun's power surpasses that of Yae Miko."
"This means she'll become stronger than me?"
"And Yae Miko is a subordinate of Raiden Shogun."
"Does this mean I have to become Nami's subordinate too?"
"No, I can't just accept this fate."
"Even if the original Yae Miko wasn't stronger than Raiden Shogun, it doesn't mean I can't become stronger than Nami."
"As long as I can earn far more points than Nami, I'll definitely be stronger than Nami."
"Then, it should be Nami becoming my subordinate."
"After all, I was the first one on this ship!"
Carina clenched her fists, her eyes full of determination.
At this moment, she began planning how to lure Arton to film more videos with her.
"Raiden Shogun's Musou no Hitotachi!"
"Arton actually gave this power to Nami!"
Tashigi's eyes widened in shock as she watched the scene before her.
Even though she had already seen Arton perform [Unlimited Blade Works], it didn't mean she had forgotten Raiden Shogun's unparalleled strike.
In a way, that divine strike and Arton's technique represented two different paths.
One was an endless barrage of swords, while the other was a single strike refined to perfection.
Both were the kinds of power Tashigi longed for.
Next to Tashigi, Hina frowned.
"At the end, Arton still entrusted this power to his partner?"
"With Nami's deep-seated hatred for the navy…"
"If she fully masters Raiden Shogun's power, the navy might face a very tough opponent."
The more Hina thought about it, the more worried she became.
Not to mention how easy it would be for Nami to gain points while staying by Arton's side.
Just the talent of Raiden Shogun alone had nothing to do with the word "weak."
Given that Raiden Shogun is a deity, Hina has reason to believe that Raiden Shogun's potential would rank at the highest tier among the templates Arton has previously given to his partners, including Yae Miko, Elizabeth Bathory, and Tsunade.
With Raiden Shogun's immense talent, combined with Nami's methods of gaining points from Arton, Hina even suspects that it won't be long before Nami fully masters Raiden Shogun's power.
[Video: Nami becomes Raiden Shogun!]
Smoothie: "A video this late... wait, Nami became Raiden Shogun?"
Whitey Bay: "This video... Arton gave Nami the Raiden Shogun template? Damn it, am I still a step behind?"
Kujaku: "How could this be? Didn't Nami not meet the attribute requirements to use Raiden Shogun?"
Belo Betty: "Oh my, it seems Nami is going to become the female Thunder God. How enviable~."
Vivi: "So envious. It turns out that just by boarding Arton's ship, one can obtain a template..."
Gion: "Wasn't Nami supposed to have only two of Raiden Shogun's attributes?
Gion: "Does this mean that if Arton is willing, he can give a template to a partner even if they don't meet the three attribute requirement?
Gion: "Or does Raiden Shogun possess other attributes that Arton didn't mention, and one of those attributes matches Nami's personal attributes?"
Gion watched the video in the diary and fell into deep thought.
Though she hadn't mentioned it to other female marines who also had diary copies, she particularly yearned for the Raiden Shogun's "Musou no Hitotachi."
She knew she was suited for Raiden Shogun's template. If possible, she truly wanted to embrace Raiden Shogun's template.
"Do I have to give up?"
Gion sighed deeply in her heart.
[Nami has the attributes of "woman," "beauty," and also possesses the attribute of "thunder," just barely qualifying her to use the Raiden Shogun template.]
[I hope my decision isn't wrong. I hope Nami can fully harness Raiden Shogun's power.]
[Hmm... this woman doesn't seem to pursue martial arts to the extreme like Raiden Shogun. Perhaps after dealing with the Arlong Pirates, she might slack off.]
[It seems that I'll need to supervise her training more closely in the future.]
Black Maria: "I see, Nami possesses the 'Thunder' attribute."
Gion: "Thunder? So Nami actually has three attributes."
Nojiko: "Hehe, I didn't expect to see such an exciting update late at night. It seems Arton has no intention of letting Nami leave the Flame Blade Pirates after giving her the Raiden Shogun template..."
Nojiko: "Now that I can no longer take Nami's place, should I still join Arton's crew? Well, I'll decide after meeting Arton and Nami. If necessary, I can still choose to board!"
Nojiko: "But really, who would have thought Nami had the 'Thunder' attribute? Did she get struck by lightning during her travels?"
Carina: "How strange, what does Nami have to do with thunder?"
Faced with Arton's diary, most of the diary copy holders accepted that Nami possessed the Thunder attribute without question.
However, those familiar with Nami, like Nojiko and Carina, were quite puzzled by this.
At this moment, they couldn't possibly realize that Nami's 'Thunder' attribute wasn't due to her having thunder powers now, but rather because the world had imbued Nami's fate with the Thunder attribute.
"How does it feel? Can you adapt, Nami?" Arton asked with a smile, seeing Nami staring at herself in a daze.
"It feels amazing, Arton. This... this is an incredible power!"
Nami was incredibly excited, looking at Arton in shock.
Although she knew how powerful the Raiden Shogun template was, it wasn't until she truly obtained such power that she realized its magnitude.
Even though this power was still weak, she felt as if she were being blessed by a deity, and as if she could easily crush mortals if she truly wielded this power.
The faint sense of divine majesty emanating from Raiden Shogun made Nami momentarily worried if she was worthy of such power.
