Sorry for not posting for a long time, I was too busy with office work.

It is just filler arc.
Skip it.

Presently in an unknown island Red Rose pirates were having a break, and were checking teddy.
"The haul and frame is ok, but we should add some aluminum plates on the bottom so that it can withstand the impact from the thrusters" I (arya) made a point while inspecting teddy (the ship).
"There are some cracks on rudder, we should replace them" Borodo said while checking, "We have to buy new sail, there are a lot of holes in it".
"The pool has some leaks we should also check it".
"We should make new parts to hold the thrusters, and add some propelling system which can use devil fruit powers".
"We should remake the kitchen, it is too dirty".
Today we had decided to do maintenance of teddy; since the new world weather is so rough I had to make some adjustment to our ship.
"Or we could just make a new ship" Lily and Liana asked, since they had seen ships. "It is not that easy, teddy has been with us since our journey and he is our friend and a crewmember" I said while adding metal sheets on it.
"Ok I'll check out the island for a while" They both left as they did not have any interest in it.
"Arya-san, I will check the details on the devil fruit we have" Joke asked, we got a book containing devil fruit details from the star ship's money lord, we did not had time to go through it till now.
"Sure, ace come here use and join these two metal sheets" I spoke, and ace is our welder, while I am the cutter.
While we are fixing the teddy, liana and lily brought back a weird fruit.
"Hey check out we found a unusual fruit, it may be an devil fruit" they said while showing a fruit which was white and seemed to be made of paper.
"Ho that is nice, I also found the devil fruit we had it is a zoan type tori tori no mi model: humming bird" Joke who finished searching the book joined in.
"What a zoan type" Deuce was the first to be disappointed since he wanted to eat that devil fruit.
"A humming bird Deuce, it would be fun decue you can have it" I said while laughing.
"I don't want to, let check what this fruit that the girls found is" he diverted the topic, as we saw the weird fruit.
"Hum, Let see I think it is, yes this is Pasu Pasu no mi a logia fruit which turns the person into paper human" Joke said while we all stared at the fruit.
"Paper human, that is so powerful" I said as konan from naruto series came to my mind.
"What powerful, paper can be burned by ace who uses fire, or wet by you who uses liquid. It is the weakest logia fruit I had seen" Borodo replied to my comment.
"You are wrong borodo, every logia ability is strong it just depends on how you use it. If the paper is fast enough it can slice though our bodies and I know a person who used this power to stand along elite fighters of a world" I said.
"Is it can you name some techniques" borodo asked, "Yes you can use paper to fly, unlike ace and I who use force to fly the person can simply control the paper to fly like a flying carpet, paper can be folded into different forms and used as projectiles and the best thing they can form paper clones unlike mine which has to have a link for it. Just imagine we can make many clones to infiltrate the enemy ship and with bombs hidden in them and blow up. The person can make huge wings out of papers and use them to fly and what not" I explained my ideas.
"This fruit is gives very powerful ability, but arya can't you make wings with your liquid" Meroie asked with doubt, "That I did not think about it" I answered and tried to make wings on my back, now that I thought about it I had only focused on high pressure liquid jets and controlling sea but controlling my body shape never crossed my mind.
I made the liquid wings which would be dripping like water, and soon I had huge wings made of liquid.
"I really can make wings" I said laughing while looking at the two wings on my back, "Meroie give me also some ideas, I don't want to be left behind arya" ace immediately started to complain.
"Let see if I can fly", I flapped the wings but I can only reach a little high it was like jumping.
"My wing is not strong enough to make me fly", I increased my wing size to very large and this time I could reach higher I was feeling like I could do it.
Then I increase my wing size a little more and tried again, and success. I just lacked some training.
While ace was irritating meroie, others were interested in the new devil fruit.
"So who is going to eat it", "I don't want to eat it" liana said as she did not want to lose her ability to swim.
"I think I would like to gain some power since I had been so useless till now" lily asked, "I too am interested but you can have it, I'll just another one" Deuce said.
"I don't want any devil fruit, if everyone becomes fruit users who would save you if you fell into sea", "Hum you are correct we should have someone as our lifeguard" I said while coming behind him.
"So how was your flying experience", they asked "It is wonderful but I am not that much comfortable with fighting in that form since it is much slower then get man, But I can use it to carry some of you in the sky" I said.
"Ok, arya teach me some new techniques" ace asked me leaving a collapsed meroie, "Actually I had an idea, like my jet man, you could also try generating flames at your feet and increase your speed" I suggested.
And the next moment he was on it, "Also you all should learn this soru technique, our opponents would be very strong so having first grade speed will help us" I said while performing soru around them.
The day passed as teddy was ignored, and at night Lily become our fourth devil fruit users.
The next day we had to fix teddy up and make it into upgraded version teddy 2.o and right after we went to next island.
.
Our new destination was an island which had long mountains, it was called Kenzan Island.
As soon as we entered the people were alert, so we had to hide ourselves.
Later we found out that the island is the home of long arm tribe, as we moved on we saw many long arm people. Later we found out that many of their members are targeted by the slave hunters due to their unique characters and so they are afraid of pirates.
We rented a hotel after knowing that it takes ten days to set log pose.
Later in the evening at a bar
"So you lots have heard about the tournament" the bar attendant asked, as he was used to have pirates visit his bar.
"What tournament?" I (arya) asked, "It is called as final tournament, it is a tournament where the winner takes it all but loser loses everything. It is the tradition warrior tournament conducted every three years, there is team and individual entre. In team battle a maximum of 7 members can enter the battle would be either fighting or other challenges which is decided by the organizers, whoever wins can choose something from the opponents it can either be money, valuables or people. It is a cruel tournament where they can obtain obedient slaves without money, so many of them risk their lives. A decade ago a pirate group participated and killed all their opponents and chooses to have their ships and goods as reward, it is a fun place for pirates" the bar attendant said, while passing on a poster.
"During this time no one attacks the island marines and pirates as a mutual agreement, so you can definitely enjoy it" he added.
"Ok lets enter it" I told them, "What can't we enjoy a little we just had to survive marines and now participate in some deadly games" meroie asked, "It is fun, beside you are all strong" I said.
"That, you idiot please act with common sense sometime" she felt a headache as she saw my face, and was to prideful to reject since I praised her.
"I am in, I wanted to try out my new techniques" Ace said equally excited as me, "me too I got try it in real fight" Liana said.
"Just give up meroie he is an ass in times like this" Borodo spoke, while massaging his head.
"If you all don't mind I found some new power, so I want to try it our too" Joke said, as others just sighed.
"If you are going to join then you should go to center lounge by tomorrow noon to register, afterwards you cannot enter" the bar attendant informed.
I gave him a gold coin and he gave more information. The tournament allows the betting between the team and individual hence, and also many participants would use this tournament to show their slaves and promote their shops.
.
The next day we went and registered for the tournament, and also agree that if anyone of us die or becomes others possession in the tournament we would not fight back for it, outside and also if we break the rules we will be immediately disqualified and the opponent will be declared winner.
Ace and I took the individual while others participated as group, since they can enter if the members are more than four.
The participates were just too weak, their speed is slow, their battle IQ is low I felt a waste of time; there were no notable person here.
As for the team battle they are kicking the others butts, and as if as a reward borodo has made the slave traders to close their business for ever and never involve in that again.
The only competitors they faced were some martial arts team, and we asked them to teach us some martial arts as our rewards.
While I faced a familiar person in semi finals, 'Ant De Bonham' he was a marine and was using a technique called Breath Qigong, but was simply no match for me and I choose to teach me that technique and other martial arts.
And finally Ace and I faced each other, we choose to not use our ability and fight with fists, ace was at a disadvantage as I had soru technique. I had a huge advantage but suddenly he attacked me with haki which caught me by surprise, but it was still not usable as I defeated him with speed.
After that we stayed 10 days to learn the martial arts technique since our physics was already super human we picked up quickly, as our strength increased at visible rate.
And our log pose sets to next destination.
