27 Proposal
Arata who saw the top Marines opened his mouth and said...
"Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild"
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Arata said welcome when he saw the Marine group standing at the entrance.
Looking at the 10 people who came to the Guild, it can be seen that they are big names.
They had come because of a report from Gion that mentioned this place and what could be found there. Seeing an opportunity like this, it's impossible for Sengoku to miss it.
Garp, who saw Arata welcoming him kindly, immediately approached where Arata was standing and watched him.
In Garp's mind, Arata does look like an ordinary boy who doesn't have the strength to fight with him.
Likewise with the three women beside Arata, an ordinary woman who is weak. That's how Garp felt, even after using Kenbunshoku Haki.
Arata and the others realized that they were being watched closely by Garp, but their expressions didn't change.
They were still friendly and relaxed, as if Garp wasn't a vice admiral, but like dealing with a friend.
"So you're the so-called Guildmaster, you look like a commoner?!!" (Garp)
Arata smiled a little hearing what Garp said, then immediately answered him.
"Well, I'm just a man person who runs this place" Arata was still relaxed in answering.
"Then how come you can run this place?" Garp was quite curious about this.
When Garp asked this, the Sengoku entourage also heard about it and were also curious. They are currently standing beside Garp and waiting for an answer from Arata.
Arata made a gesture like someone who was thinking hard before answering "Simple, I got lucky"
The Sengoku troupe who heard about it couldn't believe it.
Lucky?
By gaining authority from this place?
What kind of kindness did Arata do to get lucky like this?
"You think I'll just believe you when you say you're lucky?" Garp still can't believe it.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. I also get nothing if you believe" (Arata)
They didn't react when they heard Arata's answer, except for Akainu who got emotional and wanted to interrupt but was stopped by Tsuru.
"Bwahaha, getting nothing for being trusted by a Vice Admiral, let alone me? Bwahaha, you are interesting" (Garp)
"I already have this place, what more could I ask for?" (Arata)
Garp is still laughing at this point, he feels that Arata is very proud of the fact that he owns this place.
Other Marines also feel that. Many people are proud of the work they have including Sengoku and other Marine entourage.
Moreover, a job that does good to help others. Even the newest Navy recruit would be proud to say he was a Marine.
And this is what is felt from Arata's sentence just now. They couldn't help but think that forming a partnership would be difficult.
Seeing that Garp was still laughing and wouldn't continue his conversation, Sengoku opened his mouth to start a conversation.
"Ohh, if not Fleet Admiral Sengoku. Welcome to the Adventurer's Guild. Thank you for coming here" (Arata)
"No need to say thank you, we came voluntarily because we are interested in this place" (Sengoku)
"It is an honor that a Marine's Fleet Admiral is interested in this simple place" (Arata)
Simple? It was true that there was nothing special about the Adventurer's Guild.
This building looked like any building you could find anywhere, but that was only the exterior.
Those who didn't know anything would agree with Arata, but those who already knew about the Dungeon felt that there was ridicule in his words.
How can a place with so many resources be called 'Simple'
"No problem, this is a good place" (Sengoku)
"Ohh, thank you if you feel that way. At this opportunity is there anything I can help you with?" (Arata)
"We all want to register to become adventurers" Sengoku said briefly, explaining one of his goals.
The others didn't even raise a objection, they were also quite curious about these things.
"You are very welcome as Adventurers, please put your hands on this orb" Arata already took the Glass Ball from the desk drawer, to register them.
When Sengoku was about to put his hand down, Garp stopped him and immediately put his own hand on the ball.
Sengoku wanted to get angry but it was just something trivial so he held it in and didn't say anything.
Registration went quickly, and soon a status interface appeared in front of Garp.

"Bwahaha, look at that. My skills are mostly S-Rank, some are even SS-Rank" Garp arrogantly displayed his status to the others.
Sengoku became irritated again with Garp's attitude, and immediately pushed Garp aside when he wanted to register his next one.

"Look Sengoku, my skills are of a higher rank. Bwahaha" Garp said in a playful mocking tone.
"Shut up Garp, I'll catch up with you soon" (Sengoku)
"You two are done right? Get out of your way, don't get in the way" (Tsuru)
Tsuru immediately put her hand down and soon a small energy flowed from the ball towards her heart. Being harmless, Tsuru didn't resist the energy.

"It seems I'm getting old" Tsuru was a little sad with his skills, feeling left behind by his two friends who were in the same grade.
After Tsuru's turn was over, the other Marines immediately signed up and got their respective statuses.
For Admirals, most of them have S-Rank skills, and for Vice Admirals there are S-Rank but the average is A-Rank.
"Alright, you guys have officially become adventurers. Now you are free to enter the Dungeon anytime" (Arata)
"Thank you. But before that, there is another matter I want to talk to you about" (Sengoku)
"What is it" (Arata)
"We, the Marine side wish to form a partnership with you in managing the Dungeon in exchange for your protection?" (Sengoku)
"Excuse me?" (Arata)
Asuna, Kaori and Saeko momentarily didn't understand what Sengoku meant.
Cooperation in managing the Dungeon?
In exchange for protection from the Marines?
Does this mean the Marines wants to have the same authority as them?
Why should they agree to it?
Are they so weak that they need protection?
Various thoughts filled the heads of the three girls. But most of them are rejection of Sengoku's proposal.
Whereas Arata still had a calm expression on his face but soon, an aura of displeasure leaked out of him.
But was immediately pulled back by Arata and looked Sengoku straight in the eye.
"Sorry, but I will decline" (Arata)
Arata immediately returned to the initial attitude shown when he met the Sengoku group.
Not letting them feel the true feelings that Arata has.
Sengoku had expected that his proposal would be rejected, so he wasn't surprised and asked what the reason was.
"If I may ask, why did you reject this cooperation proposal? This place is really extraordinary, so in the future there will be many people who come here with bad intentions. And you are ordinary people, if this place is attacked, you won't be able to defend it" (Sengoku)
"About that don't worry, the four of us are capable enough to be ourselves. Besides, if I agree then you will ban Pirates from becoming Adventurers here which is against the rules of the Dungeon" (Arata)
Sengoku was about to open his mouth but Akainu who was already angry immediately interrupted and shouted at Arata.
