Chapter 36: Chapter 34: The Top Brass of the Navy!
Guild.
"I have already confirmed related to the mission you are doing," Ars said calmly as he looked at Rayleigh who was currently already with him to get the mission reward performed by him, "You can already see it on your status panel. The reward is in"
Rayleigh immediately opened his status panel and saw that Exp and also his money earned through the mission had entered. Rayleigh then closed the status panel, "I just saw a woman wearing Navy clothes in the dungeon. Are they real people in the dungeon or are there already dungeon parties who have come here to register as adventurers? Hmm, that person's face is quite familiar to me"
"The woman you saw was indeed from the Navy's side," Ars said, "She is Vice Admiral Gion, the future Admiral codenamed Momosagi. He happened to find this place and has been listed as an adventurer here recently. Hmm, you guys didn't clash in the dungeon, did you?"
"Hahaha" Rayleigh laughed at Ars's question, "How could we clash while we were in the safe zone. As long as he knows the rules in the dungeon, he dare not attack me. Besides, I am currently not a pirate anymore. What is the reason for the Navy to chase me again?"
"Those of you who know about the lost history will remain their target," Ars said, "It's just that they should also consider going after you if they want to get a big loss."
"You praise me too much" Rayleigh smiled at that.
"You deserve it. At this age, you can still fight at least even if it is impossible to defeat an Admiral, but it is already feasible" Ars said, "What about the Kuja pirates who came with you to the mining? They're still there?"
"They chose to stay there," Rayleigh said, "It seems like they want to get enough contributions to be given a chance by Hancock to be a free adventurer in this dungeon."
"Hmm, I see" Ars nodded, "How many iron ores have you successfully collected except the iron ore you collected for the mission?"
"Pretty much," Rayleigh said, "The mine I use to mine is quite rich in iron ore and at the moment I have managed to collect 100 iron ores ready for use at any time"
"Oh? That's pretty much it" Ars nodded, "At least enough for your large amount of equipment to use. Hmm, it's just that. You are the two poor old men"
Rayleigh, who was previously full of joyful feelings, immediately grim at the words from Ars, "You know, there is no need to discuss that, right?"
"I don't know. Stay at this time, I always want to tease you, especially considering all your previous deeds who are always looking for excuses to steal from the person who bought you and then used the money to gamble"
"I also have to find some fun" Rayleigh said resignedly, "At a time when someone has lived too long, especially for my age who is waiting to die beforehand. You will be quite bored, especially with the sea which is currently calmer than before. The only way to relieve my boredom is in such a way"
"Hmmm," Ars looked at Rayleigh flatly, "Is that so? But, you should be able to use your Haki's ability to get a lot of benefits, right? Although your Haki's ability only reaches the basic level. Still, it has a huge influence on the game"
"I play gambling because it's fun. We don't know if I'm going to win or lose. Everything is at stake there. If I had figured out what would happen later, it would be pretty boring"
"I don't know what's in your brain, old man," Ars said then sighed, "Have you considered enrolling in the Colosseum?"
"Enroll in the Colosseum? Hmmm," Rayleigh thought for a while as he fondled his chin and said, "You said before that there is a price to pay for signing up, right? What is the price for registration?"
"10 silver coins," Ars said.
"Is it already a whole or is there anything else?" Rayleigh asked suspiciously.
"That's the whole payment starting from the administration and also other things that are in it. Hmm, why do you ask so?"
"Usually there some things that happen like this are just initial costs and there should be follow-up costs"
"Do you think the Colosseum is like the purchase of information?" Ars asked strangely.
"Hmm, I guess if it were you. Less the same in my opinion"
Ars sighed and said, "Well, what are you going to do after this? Are you still going to carry out the mission?"
"No. Enough for today" Rayleigh said, "I want to go to Blacksmith to get the sword that belongs to me. Now it's time for my sword to be ready to be taken"
"Oh? Your sword is ready? It will be easier for you in the future, especially dealing with hunting missions and others"
"Hahaha, of course!" Rayleigh grinned excitedly, "The previous incident will not happen again. I also need revenge related to the embarrassment received by me before. Hmm, I think I'd better go now"
Rayleigh turned around and immediately left the guild.
Sometime after Rayleigh went back into the dungeon. Hancock and his two sisters enter the guild to collect rewards from missions the three of them have completed. After getting the reward, the three of them no longer take on new missions but they also return to the dungeon to go to the mine currently occupied by the Kuja pirate members. The purpose of the arrival was to conduct inspections and so on.
Grand Line, Navy Headquarters, Admiral's Office of the Fleet.
The Navy is an organization that exists in this world whose purpose is to uphold justice. That goal is visible while an invisible goal with the creation of the Navy is to become an army owned by the World Government to maintain the authority and also the power they have.
In the Naval organization, the highest position that a Navy can achieve is Admiral of the Fleet. This position is a position that can govern anything in the Navy. Under Admiral of the Fleet, there is the post of Admiral. The admiral for each period is filled by only three people with the highest combat power possessed by the Navy.
The three Admirals usually have tasks that always rotate with each other. One is in charge of guarding in the Mariejoa region where the World Government Headquarters is located. One is in charge of guarding the territory of the Navy Headquarters. The other is tasked with making voyages to maintain order in the ocean area by capturing a large number of pirates in the Grand Line and New World areas.
The current Admiral of the Fleet is Sengoku.
Sengoku has the appearance of an old man with a large and upright body. Sengoku also has a long braided beard and always wears glasses and also a hat that says "Marine". Sengoku has a serious nature in carrying out his duties. But this trait will be destroyed immediately when he meets someone.
At this time, in the office of the Admiral of the Fleet, which is precisely on the top floor of the Navy Headquarters, there are Admiral Armada Sengoku, Admiral Aokiji, Vice Admiral Garp, Vice Admiral Tsuru, and Vice Admiral Gion.
Vice Admiral Garp is an old man with a large tall body and white hair. Garp has brown skin and a scar next to his left eye. Vice Admiral Garp is someone who has very high popularity both in the Navy and in society. This is because Vice Admiral Garp is known by his nickname, the Hero of the "Navy". Because of the huge popularity of Garp, the majority of those who joined the Navy today have their intention to join just because they want to be like him.
Then there is Admiral Aokiji. Aokiji is a Navy Admiral whose real name is Kuzan. Aokiji has a tall slender stature and long curly hair. Aokiji usually has a lazy look every time and is known as the laziest Admiral in the Navy because he can usually sleep anywhere and anytime. Although he is famous for his laziness, when the situation requires him, Aokiji will be a serious figure to return the call.
Finally, there is Vice Admiral Tsuru. Vice Admiral Tsuru is a Marine who is in the same force as Admiral of the Sengoku Fleet and Vice Admiral Garp, It can be said that they are friends since they joined the Navy and the popularity of Tsuru are quite famous in the Navy and the world especially she holds a very petting position in the Navy, namely the Chief of Naval Staff. Vice Admiral Tsuru has the appearance of bleached hair tied back, has a small and slender body, and has white skin that is already wrinkled.
Make no mistake, even though Tsuru's appearance is like an old woman who should have been able to retire. But the strength is so strong that it is even to fight pirates with a bounty of hundreds of millions of berries. It was an easy thing for him to do.
In addition to being a place for Admiral Sengoku to work, this place is also often used by high-ranking officials to sit back and relax. However, not all bigwigs can do this. Only the Admirals of the Navy as well as some of the Vice-Admirals often do so.
"Hey, Gion" Vice Admiral Garp called, "I heard that you went to Saboundy Island for vacation. Why don't you call me there? Even though there's something I want to buy there"
"Taking you together with me will only make trouble for me," Gion said mercilessly as she hugged both arms.
"Bawahahaha, how is it possible?"
"Shut up Garp!" Sengoku yelled irritably as he stared at Garp, "Do you still have the courage to say so?! Go and finish the work you have and don't let your adjutant do it!"
"Why should I do it? Isn't Bogart happy to do it for me? Besides, with himself doing so, my work can be done quickly."
"Do you still dare to say such a thing?! Asshole! Aren't you ashamed of your rank as a Vice Admiral?!" Sengoku shouted back with a face full of angry emotions.
Garp didn't care about the shouts from Sengoku and only focused on the food he had at this time. Sengoku was familiar with Garp's attitude and could only restrain his urge to hit him. The quarrel that occurred between Garp and Sengoku was a familiar thing in this Navy. Every Navy especially veteran knows that every time Garp and Sengoku meet, there is no way the two can calm down. There will certainly be a debate between the two.
"What about your vacation this time, Gion?" Tsuru asked with a smile looking back at Gion. Tsuru already considers Gion as her younger sister even though the two have no relationship at all.
"I found something very incredible on Saboundy Island, Sister" Gion said seriously.
"Something extraordinary..." Tsuru asked, raising her forehead.
"Yes. Something very remarkable..." Gion said back and immediately turned her attention to everyone, "What I found was... Can subvert the pattern of this world..."
The atmosphere at the scene instantly fell silent at the moment when the sentence said by Gion fell. Garp and Sengoku, who were still arguing, immediately stopped and their gazes were immediately shifted towards Gion with faces full of seriousness. Tsuru, who had been smiling before, also instantly turned into a serious look. On the other hand, Aokiji, who was currently asleep, also listened to Gion's words. Aokiji immediately woke up raising his blindfold.
Gion is not someone who likes to joke especially about things related to the pattern of the world and so on.
"Arara, something that can subvert the pattern of this world? Is there anything interesting on Saboundy Island? Is it possible that it is related to Mei'O Silver Rayleigh?" Aokiji asked with interest.
"I can't say this has no relationship with him. However, Rayleigh already participated in this even if only a little" Gion said calmly.
"Don't forget, Rayleigh is the Right Hand of the Pirate King. Whatever contribution he had there. Many or few. It must be something so big that it can change the pattern of this world" Sengoku said in a sharp and serious tone.
"What did you find there, Gion?" Garp asked with great seriousness.
Garp is the enemy and rival of the Roger pirates whereas Rayleigh is there as the Right Hand or Deputy Captain. Garp is well acquainted with Rayleigh's traits and personality. Rayleigh couldn't possibly have a hand in something unless it was something very big and could change the pattern of this world.
"Before that, had any of you heard of a place about the Guild?" Gion asked back.
Gion didn't immediately want to get into the subject and wanted to confirm something first.
"Guild?"
The atmosphere full of tension instantly entered an atmosphere full of confusion.
"I've never heard anything about it" Sengoku shook her head and looked in the other direction, "What about you guys?"
"Same with you," Tsuru said, crossing his arms, "I heard this for the first time" Then her gaze shifted towards Gion, "What is something that will change the pattern of the world about this place you mentioned?"
"yes" Gion nodded and immediately his hand was pointed forward simultaneously he made a kind of vertical line which made Sengoku and the others confused by the actions taken by Gion.
But...
Not long after Gion made such a move, instantly the status panel owned by her immediately appeared in front of him and it made everyone there quite surprised.
"Can you see this panel in front of me?" Gion asked back.
"Arara, a panel?" Aokiji said with interest, "Did you eat the devil fruit just now? I saw this kind of ability for the first time. What is the name of the devil fruit you ate? But, I don't think you're this kind of person, do you?"
Aokiji's gaze immediately stared at Sengoku, "What about you, Sengoku-san?"
"I'm also seeing this ability for the first time," Sengoku said, frowning.
"Did you eat the devil's fruit, Gion?" Tsuru asked strangely.
Tsuru knew Gion's desires. Gion is a woman who wants to become a swordsman. Gion also has the soul of a swordsman where a swordsman will stay away from things that can help increase their strength instantly or help from the outside like the power of devil fruits and others.
"I didn't eat the devil fruit, sister" Gion said sternly, "The panel you guys are currently looking at in front of me is not something that comes from the devil fruit"
"Not something from the devil's fruit? Are you kidding me?" Garp asked strangely.
"Do you see me currently joking, Garp-chan?" Gion asked with a gloomy look and also full of firmness.
"Uh, maybe not" Garp despite his strength surpassing that of an Admiral despite his old age. Still, if dealing with an angry woman surely she will be frightened. It's the same with men, no matter how strong men are, as long as they make a woman angry, especially the one they love and care about, they will be frightened.
"Gion! Explain more about this" Sengoku immediately said firmly, "Is it possible that this power is related to the place called Guild you said before?'
"That's right" Gion nodded and immediately began to explain all the events she had just experienced along with the things in the guild.
