If offering up enough beautiful female criminals from Impel Down could attract Arton's attention, or even make Arton willing to give her a template, Sadi would be more than happy to do it.
After all, those beautiful women were criminals. Sadi had absolutely no psychological burden about using them.
The only thing Sadi wasn't sure about was whether those criminals also had copies of Arton's diary.
If they had copies too, then after she pushed them in front of Arton, maybe they would end up receiving templates, while Sadi herself would get nothing.
At that point, those criminals who obtained templates might even turn around and report her. Just thinking about that made Sadi feel gloomy.
Before she could confirm whether anyone among the criminals in Impel Down had a diary copy, she simply didn't dare make a decision lightly.
One wrong choice might be enough to bring disaster down on her head.
In the end, all she could do was let out a long sigh and, like Domino, temporarily close the diary screen, preparing to go deal with her work.
At the same time, elsewhere.
On the Flame Blade Pirates' ship, inside Ain's room.
"Speaking of which, was there really a need to bring me to your room, Ain?"
"My room is much more spacious. Wouldn't it be more suitable for you to learn how to use Ice-Make magic?"
Arton asked curiously.
After all, on the entire pirate ship, Arton's room was the largest and most spacious.
The other crew members' rooms were decent too. Compared to certain pirate ships where male and female crew members had to share rooms, everyone on Arton's ship had their own private room.
But compared to his room, the rooms belonging to Ain, Nami, and the others were still quite different.
"Your room is naturally spacious, Captain."
"But your room is also very popular. Someone might come looking for you to chat."
"Um… if possible, I want to have you all to myself for a while."
Ain clasped her hands behind her back, twisting her body shyly.
"You want to have me all to yourself for a while? How greedy of you."
"But I'll allow it. Even if you want to spend the whole night talking to me about Ice-Make magic, I don't mind at all."
Arton smiled as he spoke.
Arton also had plenty of ideas when it came to Ice-Make magic.
Gray had been able to create an ice cannon with Ice-Make magic.
That meant Ice-Make magic could reproduce certain firearms to some extent.
In this pirate world, Ain might even be able to recreate the cannons of Marine warships. More than that, she might even be able to recreate Bartholomew Kuma's lasers.
If Ain also had the potential to use Ice-Make magic to create living creatures, then Arton even felt she might be able to directly use Ice-Make magic to recreate a "Tyrant" capable of firing lasers.
Of course, the original Tyrant fired real lasers.
If Ain truly recreated a Tyrant with Ice-Make magic, then the rays it fired would be constructed purely from ice magic.
If Ain used it well, Arton even felt that, just relying on this ability alone, Ain could display freezing power superior to that of the Marine's Ice Admiral, Kuzan.
Arton was more than happy to make that possibility a reality.

Chapter 697
Ain opened and closed her mouth, suddenly unsure of what to say.
She had called Arton to her room partly because she wanted to ask him for guidance on Ice-Make magic.
But aside from that, she also wanted to properly thank Arton in her own way.
As it happened, Ultear's template possessed transformation magic.
After understanding that ability, Ain immediately realized how she should use it.
Using it as an agent was merely one small application of that magic.
In Ain's eyes, the true potential of this magic was that it could let Arton experience different girls through her.
"U-um, Captain, what I mean is… we have plenty of time anyway."
"Why don't we talk about something fun first, and then talk about ice magic afterward?"
Ain rubbed her cheeks, asking a little sheepishly.
"Something fun? Wait, don't tell me you mean…"
Arton's eyes widened slightly.
Ain nodded, then waved a hand over her body. Right in front of Arton, she transformed into Hina.
"Captain, do you think I look like her?"
Ain asked with a smile.
She believed Arton was so proactive about wanting to get Hina out of prison because he must have at least some interest in Hina.
Since that was the case, Ain naturally wanted to let Arton enjoy the feeling of being with Hina through her.
After all, Hina had once thought about joining Arton's pirate crew, but she had given up on the idea. Perhaps even if Arton really got her out of prison this time, she still wouldn't join the crew.
In other words, Arton might never be able to experience the sweetness known as Hina.
Since that was the case, Ain could only use her own method to let Arton experience the Hina he wanted to experience.
What Ain didn't know was that during this time imprisoned in jail, Hina had already begun thinking about using herself to make a deal with Arton.
After all, compared to giving up part of her rights over her own body, Hina was even less willing to lose her freedom forever.
Even Hina herself had dreams she wanted to fulfill.
And if she truly ended up imprisoned by the World Government forever, then her entire life would be over.
If she could meet Arton, Hina might very well propose a deal immediately to ensure she could gain freedom through him.
