The Legends
The three of them sighed and thought that their struggle to become strong still had a long way to go.
Even though the Vice Admirals have great power, after seeing the power that Saeko has they feel that the power they have is nothing.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
They arrived at the Guild, and Sengoku and the others had not yet returned from the Dungeon and immediately regrouped.
Gion and the others saw that Garp was eating heartily in the cafeteria, who couldn't help but want to eat too. Also since the time shows it will soon be lunch time.
Asuna who was at the reception saw this and returned to the kitchen, Kaori and Saeko followed behind to help.
"Why don't you guys join Garp there for lunch? The time is almost here" (Arata)
They just nodded and took their seats, then quickly made their orders.
Shortly after it was seen at the entrance, Hancock came in with Mari and Sonia. She frowned, seeing the Marines were here.
But she didn't really care about it and walked over to Arata to report on the completed quest.
The Marines of course saw this and were slightly surprised to see Hancock here.
This meant that Hancock had discovered this place beforehand but did not report it to the Marines.
"You guys are back, how was the quest?" (Arata)
"Of course it works, easy as hell" (Hancock)
With Hancock's level up, dealing with monsters around town is now easy.
The average monsters in Party Hancock's fight were level 1 to 4, they had fought those with level 6 but that was only 2 times.
And 2 times it happened at night where the monsters were strengthened. They experienced a bit of difficulty but still managed to win even though they were close to losing.
"Quest completed and rewards have also been sent to you guys, please check" (Arata)
Hancock, Mari and Sonia nodded after seeing their Quest rewards had been received.
"Maybe it is time for you guys to go a bit further" (Arata)
"Where to?" (Sonia)
"If you want to level up as quickly as possible, go on quests in other villages, not the ones from the city. Try to find them, the prizes are bigger than what you usually take" (Arata)
"I see, we will" (Hancock)
Hancock then went to the cafeteria for lunch, but Gion stood up from his seat to interrupt and ask her a question.
"Sichibukai, Boa Hancock. So you already know about this place, but why didn't you tell the Marines? Aren't we allies?" (Gion)
"Hmph...Allies or not, I don't need to tell you anything. As long as I don't cause trouble for you, why should I tell you about mine? Wasn't that the deal?!" (Hancock)
Hancock looked at Garp while saying the last sentence which Garp answered with a shrug.
"I don't know... Just ask Sengoku or Tsuru, they are taking care of this matter" (Garp)
Garp answered and continued his lunch which had consumed a lot of food.
"Come on Gion, don't prolong this matter" (Momonga)
Gion didn't argue and sat back down to enjoy his lunch.
Hancock herself didn't care and continued to order her own food.
Lunch was relatively quiet with the only noise audible coming from Garp.
After a while Sengoku and his entourage returned from the Dungeon. They entered the Guild and saw Hancock, Sonia and Mari eating in the cafeteria.
But they didn't do anything, Sengoku and Tsuru went to the reception while Aokiji and Kizaru went to the cafeteria to have lunch.
"How was your investigation?" (Arata)
"Pretty good, there is some additional information we got" (Sengoku)
"How long has Hancock been here?" (Tsuru)
"It has been 6 days since she came here" (Arata)
Sengoku and Tsuru sighed, a little disappointed by Hancock's action of not notifying this place.
But they couldn't bother her by asking questions and chose to leave things as they were.
Sengoku then joined Aokiji and Kizaru for food. Because it was break time, Arata also went to the cafeteria for lunch.
Not long after, Reyleigh returned and saw his old 'friend' in the Guild. He saw Arata who wasn't at the reception but the cafeteria so he went there.
Sengoku, Garp, Tsuru and the rest of the Marines are surprised to see Reyleigh. They didn't expect that the living legend, Vice-Captain of the Pirate King, Silvers Reyleigh became an adventurer on this island.
Reyleigh gave them a brief look and showed some courtesy before taking a seat on one of the chairs to order food.
Sengoku, Garp, Tsuru stood up from their seats and approached Reyleigh. Reyleigh saw this but still sat in his chair knowing they wouldn't catch him for now.
"Bwahaha... Look, this geezer is still alive" (Garp)
"That also applies to you Garp, you are old too. Why don't you retire and focus here? We can adventure together" (Reyleigh)
"Oohhh... Nice idea, I like that. How's Sengoku?" (Garp)
"Garp!!! Don't joke, you are still needed in the Marines. And you are Reyleigh, don't incite Garp!" (Sengoku)
"Cehh... you're boring Sengoku" (Reyleigh)
"Reyleigh, how long have you been here?" (Tsuru)
"5 days, I had told by Hancock" (Reyleigh)
"I see, so what's your goal?" (Tsuru)
"Hahaha, like I would tell you" (Reyleigh)
"Okey..." (Tsuru)
Even though they didn't get an answer, they had thoughts about this. Reyleigh wants to revive Roger using the Resurrection Item which can be obtained from the Dungeon.
But right now they can't do anything, because of the rules set by Arata. So they had to wait and gather strength to be able to do a Forced Duel to Reyleigh.
Because during the Forced Duel, the strength used was Dungeon standard, their strength was weaker than Reyleigh who had been here for a few days.
"Ohh right Reyleigh, you have fought monsters right? What are the monsters? Tell me!" (Garp)
"It's true I've fought monsters, their own kind there are Jumping Sheep, Living Twig, Horned Rabbit, Big Ant.." (Reyleigh)
Reyleigh told about the characteristics of the monsters. He didn't mind telling this, as it wasn't top secret information.
Sooner or later the characteristics of the monsters would also be known, so a little bit sooner wouldn't matter.
Garp also told about his fight with a lizard monster in the forest.
"You got drop items from defeating that lizard right?" (Reyleigh)
"You're right, I didn't know what it was and just put it in inventory" (Garp)
"You can sell them to shops in town, each item can be used for a variety of things so you can't sell them in one place" (Reyleigh)
Garp thanked him and continued to talk more with Reyleigh, sometimes Sengoku and Tsuru also joined in.
Overall the atmosphere at the table was pleasant, not expecting that they were on opposite sides.
After lunch was over, they proceeded to take up the Quest.
Reyleigh first reported his completed Quest before going back to the Dungeon.
Sengoku looked at his other comrades and gave directions.
"After this we will try to take the Quest. Since there are 9 of us, we will divide them into 3 groups. I will be with Tsuru and Gion, Garp with Kuzan and Borsalino, Momonga, Bastille, Vergo as a team" (Sengoku)
They nodded and walked together as they entered the Dungeon, Garp didn't wait for them and rushed inside quickly. Sengoku was tired of Garp's behavior so he didn't do anything.
After entering the Dungeon, they headed over to the Quest Board and saw Garp pacing back and forth, still selecting a Quest.
He wanted to fight monsters again so of course Garp chose the Monster Conquest Quest.
Sengoku finally caught up and saw that Garp had already decided on the quest he was going to do.
[Defeat 20 Big Ants]
[Proof of Conquest : Antenna Ant]
[Rewards : 3 Bronze Coins, 50 Iron Coins & 250 EXP]
Garp looked at Kuzan and Borsalino before going to the client's place, they couldn't help but follow behind Garp.
Sengoku didn't think about Garp and looked for a quest that suited him. After conferring with Tsuru and Gion, they decided to take on the Monster Conquest Quest as well.
[Bring 15 Horned Rabbit Horns & 15 Horned Rabbi Skins]
[Rewards : 3 Bronze Coins & 200 EXP]
The Vice Admiral's group also took the Monster Conquest Quest.
[Bring 15 Jumping Sheep Meat & 15 Wool]
[Rewards : 3 Bronze Coins & 200 EXP]
After selecting the Quest, they split up to meet their respective clients.
