Chương 14: Chapter 14
Guilds.
*Drink*
The Guild entrance opened accompanied by the sound of a bell that gave a notification that there was currently a guest. The guests who came were Hancock and also the troops who had been under him. Right now everyone was in a state of readiness for battle. All the preparations to build the basecamp were ready and everything was brought by all of Hancock's subordinates.
"Welcome. Oh, it's you. Are they the ones you will take to enter the dungeon later?" Ars asked with interest while looking at the 23 women who were currently accompanying Hancock.
"How rude—" One of the members of the Kuja pirates immediately disliked the words spoken by Ars especially the person who along with them was the leader of their pirates.
"Stop it!" Before the member of the Kuja pirates could finish her sentence, Hancock immediately stopped her actions and stared at her with a cold gaze, "Don't say those words. The person in front of you is not someone we can provoke."
"I-I see, Hebihime-sama" The member of the Kuja pirates was sweating while answering nervously.
"Hey, hey. Hancock. You don't need to take such action. After all, that woman is only defending the honor you have as an Empress and their leader. It was my fault" Ars looked at the woman Hancock had scolded earlier and said, "I apologize for my actions earlier. However, I myself know Hancock quite well. I think, it's fine for me to act as her friend, right?"
Hancock pursed her lips listening to the sentence that was spoken by Ars to her, especially when listening to the last sentence spoken by Ars.
"Sure." The Kuja Pirates nodded nervously and a little scared.
"Why are you defending him, Ars?" Hancock asked while hugging her arm, "With the status and power you have. You don't have to do that."
"She has no faults. She just defending your honor as her boss. It's a natural treatment to do" Ars shrugged his shoulders casually, "Ok, we're done with this conversation. Back to the previous topic. Are they the ones you will take with you and your two sisters into the dungeon?"
Hancock nodded, "Their strength is enough, isn't it? I won't let them move on their own. They will be divided into four teams and each team will consist of five people."
"The other three?" Ars asked again.
"They will later serve in the basecamp to prepare all our needs"
"How long do you plan to stay in the dungeon?" Ars asked with interest.
"One week" Hancock said calmly then continued again, "Hey, Ars. Can you tell me how to find a large safe zone?"
"How to find a large safe zone?" Ars asked while raising his brow, "There is no way. The large safe zones themselves are located in different locations in each region. You can rely on your Observation Haki ability to find them. Meanwhile, if you are lucky enough, you can get there right away by being teleported by the entrance portal into the dungeon."
"Can't you arrange for us to move there?" Hancok asked with a slightly sullen face.
"Even though I can. I won't do it. It could be said to be a fraudulent way. If anyone knows about it. They will also ask me to do it" Ars said flatly.
"Hmph! You stingy bastard." Hancock said in a dissatisfied tone.
Hancock's subordinates who saw the conversation between Hancock and Ars were quite surprised. Because Hancock never showed her attitude like that to a man or them. It was the first time they saw Hancock's attitude like this and even Sandersonia and Marigold were quite surprised by Hancock's change in attitude.
Ars immediately took out a new adventurer card totaling 23 units along with a small needle, "Are you going to include them in your group?" Ars asked.
Hancock nodded and replied, "Put them into our group"
Ars immediately processed this by changing the group affiliation in the 23 new adventurer cards to the kuja pirate group. After finishing, Ars immediately handed it to Hancock, "Here is their adventurer card. I've set up the groups they have. Help them to register themselves"
"Sonia, Mari" Hancock immediately called out.
"Okay, Big Sister"
Sandersonia and Marigold immediately carried out the task. The two of them immediately distributed the adventurer cards to each of those who participated and then gave them an explanation on how to use them. It didn't take long for all the subordinates who would be joining Hancock to register as adventurers. Their adventurer cards were reassembled by Sandersonia and Marigold while handing them over to the ars along with a large amount of cash.
"All that money is worth 1,150,000 berries. Give each of them 5 times permission to enter the dungeon" said Hancock.
Ars nodded and immediately gave 5 times permission to enter the dungeon. When finished, Ars returned the card to Hancock who was then redistributed by Sandersonia and Marigold.
"Are you really not going to do it?" Hancock asked again.
"You don't need to ask anymore. I wouldn't do that even if it was you. Don't ever try to ask me to do it. Use your power to find that location. Don't tell me you are someone who is spoiled and should be helped, right?"
"Hmph!" Hancock was a little annoyed at Ars' words then turned around and said, "Let's all go!"
Hancock immediately led the way towards the entrance of the dungeon followed by her subordinates. they all immediately scanned the adventurer cards they had and then simultaneously entered the dungeon.
"Haa~ What a troublesome woman" Ars said with a tired sigh. Ars then immediately sat back down to his place and continued reading the light novel he had previously stopped.
Dungeon, First Floor, Large safe zone number 3.
Hancock and his men were immediately teleported to the large safe zone number 3. The subordinates who had just entered the dungeon were immediately shocked and frightened, especially when they saw the Titan currently surrounding them.
"Do not be afraid!" Hancock immediately said seriously as she looked at all of her subordinates, "They won't attack us. The monster was named Titan. Starting from today until the next seven days. We will fight against these monsters. We are currently in the safe zone. They won't know where we are. We are safe here"
Listen to Hancock's explanation. They all breathed a sigh of relief. Even though they previously said they weren't afraid. However, it will be a different story with the current situation where they are immediately faced with a large number of monsters that have strong strength and enormous size.
"That big sister…" At the same time, Marigold's voice was full of excited emotions.
"What is it?" Hancock immediately turned her attention to the direction Marigold was looking at. Her eyes immediately widened and his face showed a surprised expression.
"It's an iron pillar!" Sandersonia immediately shouted excitedly, "Elder Sister, we are currently in a large-sized safe zone! We can take ownership of the territory around here" Sandersonia said with emotion.
Marigold was also very happy at this time. Because with the control of the area where they control one of the large safe zones. They would no longer be teleported to random places. They can immediately move to the large safety zone they occupy.
" Hee~ He said that he wouldn't move us to a large safe zone. However, he did it anyway " Hancock who previously had bad and irritated feelings towards Ars instantly turned filled with joy as well as pleasure.
Hancock herself was currently thinking that they had arrived here because of Ars' actions. Hancock herself didn't know that they arrived here purely by luck while Ars didn't take any action.
"3?" Sandersonia asked while looking at the flag attached to the iron pole which showed a picture of number 3.
"I think that refers to the large-sized safe zone we are currently in. This safe zone is the large number 3 safe zone" Marigold said in her opinion.
"Is there a meaning to the placement of the number?" Sandersonia asked.
"It doesn't matter if the number has meaning or not. The point is that you are now in a large safe zone and now we have an area that will become our territory." Hancock said calmly with the tone of a ruler.
Sandersonia and Marigold nodded in agreement to this.
Hancock then immediately walked towards the iron pillar followed by Sandersonia and others because they wanted to see the process. When they arrived in front of the iron pole, they saw a device shaped like a technology for scanning cards.
[Please show your group card to set the safe zone and also the area in this large safe zone as your territory]
A transparent blue screen instantly appeared right in front of Hancock. Hancock was a little surprised but she immediately regained her strength as she took out her group card.
[Confirmation!]
[The large safe zone number 3 has been designated as the territory of the Kuja pirates]
[Congratulations on establishing this territory as your territory. From now on the area of about 100 square kilometers in the area that is within the scope of the large safe zone number 3 has become your territory. Any adventurer who is not from your group who wants to hunt in this area will have their income cut by 5% and later the cut income will be directly credited to your group card at 15.00 in the afternoon]
"Hebihime-sama look… The flag has changed to ours!" One of the Kuja pirates exclaimed excitedly.
They all immediately turned their attention and looked up. As said by the member of the Kuja pirates. The flag used today is not a flag that has the logo number 3, but currently the flag that is attached to the iron pole is the flag of the Kuja pirate group.
"Everything!" Hancock immediately shouted to get everyone's attention. "Currently this territory belongs to the Kuja pirate group. We must be able to defend this territory from anyone who dares to take it. This will be our basecamp from now on and I hope you guys can do the best from now on."
"We understand, Hebihime-sama!" All of his subordinates shouted excitedly.
"Okay. First team, second team, third team, and fourth team please stay here. As for the fifth team. Please start your work to build our basecamp"
"Okay, Hebihime-sama" The fifth team of three started to make moves to build their basecamp.
"As you can see what is around us. The monsters around us are monsters that we will hunt every day. This monster has very strong strength and has excellent mastery of Haki abilities. I don't want any of you to die just because of your carelessness. You have to work together as a team to defeat the monster. Never let your guard down! If you let your guard down even a little bit, you could die." Hancock said seriously which made the atmosphere there instantly tense up
Hancock then continued back "The monster itself upon death will immediately disappear and it won't be long for other monsters like them to reappear or even another monster in the area near your battle will come to attack you. "Every monster that is successfully killed will eventually leave a crystal. You have to take the crystal and keep it. Those crystals are the things we will be collecting from now on."
"We understand, Hebihime-sama." They all nodded seriously.
"Okay. In that case, you can start the hunt."
The four teams immediately made the move. Because they have been together for a long time, the people on the team already have a good understanding even though they don't communicate with each other.
"Sonia, Mari. We have to go too. We have to collect quite a lot of crystals to get various items in the guild."
"We understand, Big Sister"
Because they already have experience fighting in dungeons. There is a kind of optimism in Sandersonia and Marigold even though their previous experience was quite tragic because several times they both almost died fighting the Titans. However, through this experience. Sandersonia and Marigold could sense that their strength had increased quite well. It also made them both excited.
Besides being able to get crystals, they can also increase their combat power and fighting experience in this dungeon. It could be said to be almost like killing two birds in one hit.
