Chapter 52: Bumper harvest!

Dungeon, first floor, Western Area of Loke Village, Bandit Camp.

"Bwahaha, we got a lot of harvests" Garp exclaimed excitedly looking at the large number of items that both of them and Aokiji had collected from the treasury of the camp. The items they both got included,

2 Gold coins and 25 silver coins.

2 Gloves Uniq LEVEL 1

1 Shoe unique Level 1

2 Normal clothes level 1

1 Normal pants level 1

25 Mid-size Physical Healing Elixir

10 Mid-Size Energy Healing Elixir.

57 iron ore

"It's a huge harvest" Aokiji nodded.

Aokiji and Garp have now returned to their previous condition except for Garp, whose clothes are currently chorus due to the battle they passed before. They had both taken the Physical Healing Elixir and the Energy Healing Elixir to restore their condition which also served as an anticipation against the enemy that would attack them later.

"How do we do distribution related to these items, Garp-san?" Aokiji asked calmly.

Although Aokiji has a higher rank than Garp. Still, Aokiji couldn't decide for himself the spoils of the war. Garp has more authority and authority than he does. In addition, Garp is also almost half the teacher for Aokiji and Aokiji has high respect for Garp.

"You can divide, I have no problem with that"

Garp wasn't someone who thought about the division and neither did he lack it, Garp calmly ate the food they got at the bandit camp. Aokiji, who got the approval of Garp, immediately started dividing by taking part for himself.

"Garp-san here is equipment with normal quality items. How about we give it to others? We can take a share for unique quality equipment as well as we can take additions to the purchase of additional equipment in the Blacksmith Shop and also improve the equipment we have. You are lucky enough to get a lot of iron ore that can help us improve the power of our equipment"

"That's a good idea" Garp nodded and continued, "I also want to ask for suitable equipment to be able to increase the power of my punches. It's not fair to them to be able to improve their status while these parents don't get it"

Aokiji immediately started taking his part while also handing out Garp's parts.

Aokiji section.

1 Gold coin and 12 silver coins.

1 Glove uniq level 1 quality

12 Mid-size Physical Healing Elixir

5 Mid-Size Energy Healing Elixir.

28 Iron ore.

Aokiji immediately saves all his parts while also using the equipment he has obtained, namely level 1 uniq quality gloves which increases his status at power points by +10 points.

"How is it? Feeling any improvement?" Garp asked with interest.

"It's improved" Aokiji nodded, "After using these gloves, I can feel my strength has increased quite a lot"

Garp's interest immediately rose to hear this. Aokiji then immediately used the glove's invisible mode then immediately the glove disappeared from Aokiji's body at this time the feeling of increased strength was still there.

Aokiji then handed over Garp's share, "This is your share, Garp-san"

Garp Section.

1 Gold coin and 13 silver coins.

1 Glove uniq level 1 quality

1 Shoe unique level 1 quality

13 Mid-size Physical Healing Elixir

5 Mid-size Energy Healing Elixir

29 Iron ore.

"Hehe, let's use it directly"

Garp immediately picked up his equipment and immediately used it vigorously. When he uses the equipment, the improvement that occurs is in the power and speed section. Garp gets an increase of +10 points for the two statuses. The feeling of improvement was also felt by Garp directly, he immediately laughed excitedly at the improvement to try the improvement that occurred while using the hidden mode of the equipment used.

Garp immediately got up then tried to run and saw the change in speed that Garp had at this time and before. Garp also tried his strength when he hit a tree in the area and it was also seen that there was an increase in his strength. Garp's feelings at this time were very excited as he walked back towards Aokiji with a smile, "Hehe, if this old man was fighting against the ** boy just now has this equipment. The boy will not get a chance to hit me"

Garp's eyes lit up instantly and looked at Kuzan, "Hey, Kuzan. How about we next take on a mission for the abolition of the bandit camp?"

"Arara, I think that's a good idea" Aokiji has also thought of this. In addition to them being able to get quite high rewards, they also get a lot of items from these bandits, "But, before we did. We'd better complete the mission we're currently doing first. In addition, there are only a few bandit hunting missions in our village left and the difficulty level seems to be quite high with the mission rewards also getting quite high. We need to advance to level two first and also we need to improve the equipment we have to balance the opponent's status"

Garp agreed with Aokiji's thoughts and immediately put away all his parts. While the rest was previously kept by Aokiji who would later be given to his friends. The two of them who have earned enough money at this time can use the money to buy better quality equipment to improve their strength.

The stronger they are, the easier it will also be to get finances.

"Let's complete all our other missions, Garp-san" Aokiji immediately got up from his position, "With these two missions completed, we should already be at level 2"

Garp nodded and said, "Let's get it done right away! I can't wait to get back with a stronger enemy– Oh, forgot. I also have to register for the Colosseum. The top spot, there should be my name there, Hahahahaha"

These words from Garp immediately opened Aokiji's mind. Aokiji immediately also built up his mind to sign up for the Colosseum. Although Aokiji is a lazy person, still, an Admiral and also the first to occupy the dungeon. Aokiji has self-esteem. He needs to be in the top spot or at least has a spot on one list.

Soon Garp and Aokiji immediately destroyed the camp and then continued their second mission, which was to collect medicinal plants. Fortunately, the area around them is an area that is quite rich in medicinal plants which allows the two of them to quickly collect the medicinal plants that are requested.

Grand Line, Saboundy Archipelago Island, Mangrove Trees 13.

At this time Gion, Vergo, Yamakaji, and Momonga met. They stared at each other in surprise until Momonga started the conversation first.

"You guys... Don't say it, you guys also died in the dungeon?" Momonga asked strangely.

Momonga recognizes the power possessed by Gion and knows Gion's strength is stronger than his. Momonga also thinks there is a possibility that only their party died in the mission. They couldn't believe that besides them, some died in the dungeon.

"Hmph! The mission we took was a pretty difficult one with our current strength" Gion said with a gloomy face, "How could it be possible that the two of us had to fight a bunch of Goblins with almost their average level above us and some of them had reached level 4" Gion paused and continued, "I heard from Ars that you also died in the dungeon and the cause was because you were less vigilant. What monster succeeded in killing you guys?"

"Just like you guys," Yamakaji said grimly.

"Goblin?" Virgo asked strangely.

Yamakaji nodded as he exhaled his cigarette smoke, "By the time we have almost completed our mission. We consider the area safe from other monsters besides the monsters we fight. This is also because from the beginning until we did not catch any other monster movements in the area. But, we were wrong. By the time we were about to complete the mission, the Goblin jerk monsters attacked us from behind where at the time we were not ready then killed us" Yamakaji's voice was full of anger, and also held a very deep grudge.

"Your voice... What happened?" Gion asked immediately.

Gion could feel from the tone of voice issued by Yamakaji had a kind of huge grudge against the Goblin. Surely it wasn't because it was killed by them.

"That * monster! They didn't kill us immediately but they tortured us first" Momonga knew that it was impossible to hide it and immediately revealed it to Gion, especially at the moment when they knew that Gion was killed by the Goblin.

Gion and Vergo's faces were immediately gloomy at this. They were also at the time of the previous battle, they were not immediately killed by the Goblins but were tortured first and left to die on their own.

Guild.

Mihawk finally returned to the guild and immediately walked towards Ars's place. Ars, who sensed Mihawk's existence, immediately stopped his activities and glanced at Mihawk who came to him.

"Go back? Did you die in the dungeon?" Ars asked strangely.

Mihawk's face was instantly gloomy but he couldn't deny this and said, "Will the bandits who were previously killed come back to life?"

"Bandit? No, as long as it's a mission. They won't come back to life"

"So" Mihawk nodded and immediately turned to go out from inside the dungeon.

Mihawk's question is just to confirm whether the bandits who were previously killed by him will still come back to life after being killed by him. As long as they come back to life, it's enough for Mihawk to fight them back even though he currently has the confidence to win the next battle because his swordsmanship has improved a bit.

Some time passed.

Some of the people who had previously died in the dungeon and were then gone to get their equipment have returned and resumed the mission they had before except for Party Gion and Vergo who have now carried out their new mission which is to collect meat and milk from horned cows.

Dungeon, first floor, Atlantis City.

On the streets of Atlantis, we can see that Zephyr's party consisting of Zephyr, Ain, and Binz has finally returned after carrying out their mission. The missions they took there were four missions,

[Needed! Adventurer or Party to collect 7 kilograms of corned beef and 8 kilograms of horned cow's milk! Mission time 1 day! The mission reward is 7 silver coins and 750 Exp points]

[Needed! Adventurer or Party to collect 100 Krise sticks and 100 Exams types of grass! Mission time 1 day! The mission reward is 6 silver coins and 600 Exp points]

[Needed! Adventure or Party to collect 75 Anticode Plants and 60 Exas types of grass! Mission time 1 day! The mission reward is 5 silver coins and 500 Exp points]

[Needed! Adventure or Party to collect 100 Grisal Plants and 100 Anticode Plants! Mission time 1 day! The mission reward is 8 silver coins and 800 Exp points]

Thanks to the cooperation they carried out and the good collection of information from Zephyr. The three of them were able to complete the four missions quickly mainly for the collection mission with their main target being the meat and milk of horned cows. With their combination and luck, the three of them were quickly able to complete the mission.

In addition, it is different from other Marines. Because Zephyr brought Ain and Binz with him who were inexperienced Marines, Zephyr had to be vigilant and almost all the time his Observation Haki abilities were in an active state with a very wide scope to establish their security. Another thing that determines the success of the mission they do is the place where the mission takes place.

In the hunting grounds they conducted, they only found horned cows with strength levels being level 1 and level 2 where they could easily solve them without worrying about dangerous threats. Despite this, their current strength is not the same as theirs in the outside world. There are also difficulties for them to able to defeat the horned cow.

On this mission too, during the hunt, Zephyr takes no action and lets Ain and Binz fight. Zephyr is only in charge of controlling the surrounding area and also watching. As long as there is something that can harm them, Zephyr will take action immediately.

"Sensei, how about our next mission takes a mission with a higher reward level?" Ain asked hopefully, "At this time we have begun to get used to our strength in this world. We are ready to take on missions whose rewards are much higher than they are today."

"I also agree, Sensei" Binz nodded, "At present, I can already adapt well to my level of strength in this world. I also think that the horned cow againts will not increase the combat experience and also increase my experience in terms of the use of my devil fruit ability."

"I don't think it's a bad idea" Zephyr nodded, "Your fighting experience is indeed good enough and there is only one left to feel the ability you have to be even better. The battle is a place to practice skills at their best. After this, we will try to take on the mission of exterminating bandits or hunting goblins"

Ain and Binz were very happy to hear this.

"Garp? Kuzan?"

By the time they arrived at the city park and wanted to return to the Guild immediately. Zephyr immediately saw Garp and Aokiji who had just walked out of the portal and Garp's current state was already chaotic due to the battle he had fought before.
