Chapter 32: Chapter 30: Kuja Pirates' Movements!
Guild.
"This amount is probably enough"
At this time in the guild, there was only Ars one there. He is currently compiling a book of 5 units where the book is a guidebook or beginner's book for people who want to join as adventurers. The content of the book is recorded the basic information about dungeons and others.
"Hmmm?"
Simultaneously, Ars sensed the presence of two people who were about to walk out of the dungeon. Ars immediately diverted his attention and saw Sandersonia and Rayleigh walking out of the dungeon calmly.
"Oh? You two? Where are the others?" Ars asked with interest, staring at Sandersonia, "What about the mission you guys are doing? Are you still not implementing it?"
"We have already completed it," Sandersonia said with great pride, "At this time Let's just go to report on the success of the mission we performed"
"Hmm, I see. Where's Hancock?" Ars asked back.
"The Big Sister is currently in the Blacksmith Crozzo Store and is waiting for the order of the equipment we want" Sandersonia answered her.
Ars nodded and turned his attention to Rayleigh, "What about the talks you had with them? Went smoothly?"
"Yes" Rayleigh nodded, "We agreed to build a team and complete the mission together"
"That's good," Ars said, nodding.
"By the way, Ars. What is that?" Sandersonia asked, pointing to the books stacked on the administrative desk.
"Hmm, I'm also interested. What book is that? What is some kind of guide?"
"You guessed it" Ars nodded, "It's hard for me to explain every time someone new comes here and asks about the guild and others. Therefore, I have prepared a guidebook that records information regarding dungeons and guilds."
"Oh? Information? Is there any confidential information?" Rayleigh asked with interest.
"Don't hold out too much hope" Ars said flatly: "If you want to get confidential information, get a lot of money and then buy the information. In this world, nothing is free let alone in a dungeon"
"The price you offered for a piece of information is too expensive," Rayleigh said cheaply, "Just to confirm it is related to the clarity of information must cost a lot of money"
"The more confidential and large the information is, the more expensive it is," Ars said calmly, "The information you want is one of the fairly confidential information in the dungeon. Of course, the price of obtaining this information is very expensive"
"Very expensive information?" Sandersonia asked, "Information as to what you want, Rayleigh? And how expensive is that information?"
"Information about the Lake of Life"
"Lake of life?" Sandersonia asked back in confusion.
"The lake of life is a legend that exists in the dungeon. The lake itself is said to have the ability to be able to rejuvenate an elderly person back to the age of 18."
"Re-rejuvenate?! Does such a place exist?" Sandersonia asked with a face full of surprise.
"You look down on the dungeon too much, Sonia," Ars said flatly, "The item to resurrect someone in there is, let alone just to rejuvenate it? There are many ways within the dungeon for someone to regain their teenage appearance"
"..."
Sandersonia instantly fell silent at this.
"Regarding the question you asked before, the information regarding that lake of life is 10 white gold coins"
Sandersonia took a deep breath at the moment of hearing the price for the information of the place then slowly thought for a while, "10 white gold, it is indeed the price that—"
"Don't jump to conclusions directly" Rayleigh interrupted him directly, "The price of those 10 white gold coins is just to confirm the existence of the place and also the information. Meanwhile, if you want information about something related to rejuvenation, you must pay at least 100 white gold coins"
"100 white gold coins!!"
"That is a reasonable price," Ars said calmly, "The information you want is a way to be able to regain your teenage years. Of course, that information is invaluable. After all, you guys got it instantly straight out of me. The price given by me is of course also very high. On the other hand, if you want to get information from within the dungeon. You guys might be able to get it for free or even cheaper than asking me for it"
Rayleigh and Sandersonia instantly fell silent at this.
"Oh, yes. Sonia. Why did you come out of the dungeon? Is there anything you want to do in the outside world?" Ars asked with interest.
Sandersonia instantly woke up to this question and nodded, "I want to go recruit some members of the Kuja pirates to come here to sign up to be adventurers. We need some people to help when it comes to mining iron ore"
"Iron ore?" Ars asked, raising his forehead and then smiling, "Is it only this time that you feel the benefits of that iron ore?"
"yes" Sandersonia nodded, "We never thought that iron ore was something so important"
"Iron ore is a very important item until any time," Ars said calmly, "Even when you guys are already on the top floor of the dungeon. As long as your equipment items are just normal and unique. Iron ore is an item that will be used to upgrade your equipment. Well, the higher the increase will also change the items needed. However, until the increase of +7, the item used is iron ore. You should from now on build a team tasked with taking care of this iron ore problem so that later you don't lack this."
"The plan is like that" Sandersonia nodded.
Ars's gaze then stared at Rayleigh, "Where is your sword, Rayleigh? Did you improve it?"
Rayleigh nodded, "I was lucky enough to meet Hancock and others in the Blacksmith Store. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't be tempted to buy my current equipment..."
"Is the payment covered by them?" Ars asked strangely.
"The payment is borne by me all. It's just that, I ask them for the iron ore they have to reduce the payment"
"Oh? You are the too poor old man"
A devastating blow directly hit Rayleigh listening to the words from Ars. He didn't expect that there would be a time when he would be said to be poor by someone. While Sandersonia was very amused to see and listen to the conversation that these two people were doing.
"How did you guys get the iron ore? Your mission has nothing to do with it"
"We got it through taking the treasures owned by the bandits at the time we managed to kill them," Sandersonia said with a small smile, "We get quite a lot of money and also items. Thanks to that, we were able to get good equipment and we were able to buy some items that were able to save our lives in the monster territory."
"Sure enough. The pirate nature you guys have is not lost" Ars sighed, "Hmm?"
"Is there anything, Ars?" Rayleigh asked, who had returned to himself.
"I just got the mission confirmation report," Ars said.
"Mission confirmation? It seems to be from Mari. She may have already confirmed to Commander Suzaku related to the success of our mission"
"It is indeed from her" Ars nodded and asked, "Do you want to take the gift directly?"
"No" Sandersonia shook her head, "We'll take it together"
"Hmm, I see. Then, I'll put it away" Ars's gaze stared at Rayleigh coming back, "Do you want to take another mission?"
"The current time is still afternoon and it is still a long time for the evening," Rayleigh said calmly, "I want to take a mission for iron ore collection"
"Iron ore collection? Do you need it? If so, why do you have to take this mission?"
"It's not just iron ore, I also need money," Rayleigh said flatly: "Currently my money is only 90 bronze coins. It's not enough to buy extra equipment"
"You're a very poor old man," Ars said flatly, "Is this probably the karma you get for often selling yourself into slaves and then stealing from your master?"
"Geh!" Sandersonia couldn't help laughing at this.
While Rayleigh pouted at the words from Ars, "Are you satisfied with making fun of me, Ars? You know a young man is not good at making fun of an old man. It should be that the youth respect the elderly"
"You say such things like you're older than me," Ars said, rolling his eyes and saying, "Give me the mission paper. I will confirm related to the mission you performed"
Rayleigh immediately handed over the mission sheet.
Searched! An adventurer or group to collect 50 iron seeds! The mission time is 2 days! The mission reward is 3 silver coins and 350 Exp points.
*Ding!*
Instantly a mission panel appeared in Rayleigh's sight on the left side of his view.
"I have already confirmed this mission. You can already do it" Ars said calmly, "However, you'd better go find a tool to help you in mining"
"I know" Rayleigh nodded, "I should also go back for a meal break"
Rayleigh's gaze looked at Sandersonia and said, "We will meet again here in the next 15 minutes. Prepare all the troops who want to come together with me to add. Also, prepare the equipment they will use to supplement"
"I understand" Sandersonia nodded.
The two of them immediately walked out of the guild. Rayleigh soon returned to his quarters while Sandersonia immediately went to her ship.
"Come along? Will Rayleigh be the leader of that group of miners? I guess, Hancock took advantage of it" Ars muttered, shaking his head then back to sit back and back to sit back to continue reading his book.
Meanwhile...
Sandersonia, who had arrived at the Kuja pirate ship, immediately gathered all the members of the Kuja pirates and selected 10 people who would become adventurers in the dungeon. After choosing 10 people who will come together, Sandersonia immediately ordered the other Kuja pirates to collect equipment that will be used to add while Sandersonia is currently explaining the mission that must be carried out by the 10 people along with explaining about the dungeon and others.
The ten people selected could only be surprised and also excited at the moment of hearing the information from Sandersonia. Their shock was well-founded because they didn't expect that there would be such a place. While they are excited about being chosen to be adventurous. They also knew that they would be the first people there and could become stronger in the future.
It took some time for the Kuja pirate army to gather a large amount of equipment to supplement. After everything was collected, Sandersonia immediately took 10 people to rush toward the direction of the Guild.
Simultaneously...
The movement made by Sandersonia–No, the movement made by the Kuja pirates have received attention from a woman who has a big name in the world of One Piece. The woman has a tall appearance, with a slender body, her skin is white, has long black hair that is followed backward. The woman also has a spider tattoo on her left thigh and is currently wearing a fairly tight and revealing outfit along with a Vice Admiral's robe carrying a sword around her left waist.
The woman is Vice Admiral Gion!
Gion previously came to Saboundy Island this was just for vacation. Today he just returned from the New World and got a vacation. Gion immediately used his current time to come to Saboundy Island for shopping and also sightseeing. It just so happened that he was currently in the area of Area 13 and accidentally saw the movement made by the Kuja pirate group.
"That... Isn't it, the Kuja pirate group?" Gion muttered, "Shovel? What do they bring such things for?"
Gion was very puzzled by the actions taken by the Kuja pirate group. The Kuja pirate group is a pirate group led by a Shichibukai. This is why Gion as Vice Admiral should not attack them because they are under the same superior even though the two are in different organizations.
"Do they want to dig something?" Gion murmured back.
Gion's interest in the movements made by the Kuja pirates became higher and higher and his previous desire for a vacation was instantly dispelled. Gion secretly begins to follow the Kuja pirate group until she sees them enter a building that has a nameplate called the Guild.
"What do they want to do there?" Gion asked with a look of confusion.
Gion's sense of confusion is based on the fact that currently, all members of the Kuja pirates together with Sandersonia carry shovels that are usually used to dig. They should have used a shovel in an open room. But at this time, they walked into the building. This is what makes Gion confused.
Simultaneously...
Gion's gaze instantly condensed at the sight of an old man carrying a shovel.
"That guy... Mei'O Silver Rayleigh?" Gion's gaze became very serious compared to before. Rumors about Rayleigh being on Saboundy Island have been known by the Marines, especially for veterans. However, because of the level of power possessed by Rayleigh, Rayleigh has also quit the pirate world. The Navy didn't want to make trouble with her because doing so would only cause them severe damage.
If the Kuja pirates are something that he can say can overcome by herself. Rayleigh is different. Gion doesn't have the confidence to be able to catch it because Rayleigh's power is very strong. However, the expression on Gion's face at this time instantly changed when she saw the object under Rayleigh at this time.
"That... Shovel? What does that person want to do with a shovel... Wait!" Gion's expression immediately turned full of surprise when Rayleigh walked into the building called the Guild.
"This is... Just now a group of Kuja pirates carried shovels inside... Now, Mei'O Silver Rayleigh brought it? What's wrong with the building? Is there a secret in the house?" Gion muttered softly.
Gion's interest in the building called the Guild became even higher, "I think I'd better inspect the place. My hunch says... There's something extraordinary that must be there"
Gion immediately came out of hiding and then walked slowly to the building. This move was made by Gion to provide a little pause between his arrival and Rayleigh's there.
Dungeon, 1st Floor, West Atlantis City.
"Remember!" Rayleigh said seriously while staring at the 10 Kuja pirate members, "I won't say this twice! By the time we had gotten out of the safe zone or into the monster territory. I hope you never lower your guard. You continue to activate the Observation Haki ability that you have while there. Every time we were there, we couldn't guarantee that we would be attacked by monsters or not. Hancock entrusted you to me, but, I will not guarantee that I will protect you. Because I also can't guarantee that my life can be safe there. I also currently do not carry weapons that can be used to fight and only carry shovels that will later be used for mining."
All 10 members of the Kuja pirates had their gazes firm and also they had heard this from Sandersonia. They won't get a guarantee of misfortune in this dungeon.
"Although in this dungeon we died here will be revived. However, the feeling of pain received when attacked by the enemy is like the feeling of pain we receive when we get wounded in the outside world. This means that as long as you die in this dungeon, you will also feel the same pain as death that exists in the outside world" Rayleigh said, 'In addition, another loss is that at the time of death, all the items under us will immediately fall along with the level and also the Exp we have will be reduced compared to before."
Rayleigh paused and continued, "I'll say one more time! I will not guarantee your safety in the monster zone. Your safety depends on yourself."
Rayleigh stared at the 10 Kuja pirates who would come with him to do the mining. Seeing the gazes of the ten 10 had a strong determination to come together. Rayleigh nodded and said, "Good determination. In that case, let's go there"
The determination possessed by the 10-man Kuja pirate group arises because they have the desire to stay here, especially after they have experienced firsthand being an adventurer. They have the opportunity to be able to improve their strength without thinking about their talents and limits. As long as they can be in this dungeon, they have a chance to become a big man.
This is their motivation to move forward.
Even if they have to endure the pain of death many times. They are willing to do it to be a better person than others.
The mining site to be carried out by them is located in the western part of the Monster Zone at a distance from Atlantis City is 2 kilometers. There is a cave that is commonly used to mine iron ore. In addition to these, there are also many mining sites with more satisfactory results than these locations.
However, the location of the place is very far away.
If it was only Rayleigh alone, he might be able to desperately go there. However, he is currently entrusted by 10 people from the Kuja pirate group Hancock. Rayleigh can't go to a distant mining place with them.
It will only be a burden for him.
