Chapter 38: Future Naval Plans

Dungeon, 1st Floor, Atlantis City, City Park.

The time between the outside world and the dungeon is unidirectional. This means that when the outside world has entered the night, it means that the time inside the dungeon has entered the night. The night in the dungeon is like in the outside world, the beautiful sky scenery is full of all kinds of stars, the beautiful scenery of Atlantis City, and all kinds of other beauties.

At the same time, Garp, who was previously killed by a Goblin, was instantly resurrected in the city park with the same appearance as before. His clothes are intact and have no scars at all.

"This place... City park?"

Garp, who had just regained his consciousness, immediately looked around him and found his current location was in the city park, Atlantis City. Garp then recalled the fight he had fought before and immediately saw the current state of his body.

"Go back to the way it was before... This is incredible..." Garp muttered with a look of shock, "Death is indeed not in this place..." Instantly a burst of laughter resounded loudly, "Bawahaha, this place is very interesting! This is heaven for me. I'm free to do anything here! The stupid monsters! You guys have to be prepared, this old man will be back soon"

Garp grinned excitedly as he also sounded both of his hands with emotion full of excitement. Garp hasn't felt this excited emotion for a long time since Roger's death. Eventually, Garp found something that could help him to have fun. How could it be possible that he would let go of this thing?

Simultaneously...

Sengoku and others have just walked into the dungeon.

"Garp?"

Garp immediately turned his attention towards Sengoku and others then smiled "Finally you guys are here! Sengoku! Fuck! This place is amazing!" Garp immediately walked up to Sengoku feeling full of euphoria like a child talking to his parents about something interesting.

"What a place?" Sengoku raised his forehead and looked around him. A feeling of amazement instantly appeared inside Sengoku and nodded, "The place is indeed very wonderful. This place... It's almost not much different compared to the outside world"

"Arara, Garp-san, what about your adventure?" Aokiji then immediately asked with interest while standing beside Garp.

"That's right, Garp-chan" Gion also walked in, "What about your adventure? Haven't you left yet?"

Sengoku and Tsuru immediately turned their attention toward Garp. Both of them know very well the attitude and personality of Garp. They knew that there was no way Garp hadn't gone in search of something interesting, especially in the matter of combat.

"Bwahaha, you two asked a very interesting question" Garp grinned excitedly, "I left just now and met a fairly powerful monster"

"It's gone? Then, why are you here?" Sengoku asked, raising his forehead.

"Don't say you were killed by that monster, Garp?" Tsuru immediately thought of an incident that might happen.

With the personality possessed by a Garp, it is unlikely that he will last long in a place like Atlantis City when he finds something interesting. These words said by Tsuru did not make Garp angry just laughed excitedly.

"Is that right, Garp?"

Sengoku immediately knew the answer through the laughter given by Garp.

"yes" Garp nodded, "I was killed by the monster and at this time I have just been resurrected in this place"

The atmosphere fell silent at Garp's statement. Although they knew that they would not legally die in this dungeon. Still, this has not been proven. However, with the experience gained by Garp at this time, everything became a fact.

Death will never exist as long as it is in the dungeon.

"Are the monsters there so powerful, Garp-san?" Aokiji's interest soon increases especially knowing that Garp died.

"The power possessed by those monsters is not very strong and only slightly above the average normal person. My defeat was because I ran out of energy just using a few times his abilities" Garp said calmly and didn't care about his defeat.

"What level of monster are you fighting, Garp?" Tsuru asked directly.

"Level 2"

"Level 2?" Sengoku raised his forehead, "Considering that it is a night at this time, the monster you are fighting is at least equivalent in strength to a monster that is at level 5. You two have a considerable difference in status. This defeat of yours is a natural thing"

"Bwahaha, though. This old man is still very happy" Garp said excitedly: "Even if I lose, I can still give him a fight."

"Oh? Provide resistance? As expected of Garp-san" Aokiji immediately complimented Garp. Aokiji is an indirect disciple of Garp besides that Aokiji also has a feeling of respect for Garp because of the philosophy embraced by Garp.

"Hahaha, it's nothing, it's nothing" Garp waved his hand and then said, "By the way, Kuzan. How about you come with me? We can both help the party—"

"Stop it!" Sengoku immediately shouted to cut off Garp's wishes, "Garp! Our goal here is not just to go fight or do something stupid! Our purpose here is to make observations and others. When your goal is achieved, you are already fighting monsters. Now, you should come with us to make observations related to this place and then talk about plans"

"Che~ It's so boring," Garp said flatly: "You guys can go to make observations, I still want to go fight with the monsters in the dungeon"

The veins on Sengoku's head can already be seen listening to Garp's rebuttal.

Tsuru sighed and said, "Garp! Stop that selfishness of yours" Tsuru said seriously: "Right now we're not fooling around and also the future of the Navy is currently at stake. As long as we can gain great influence within this dungeon, we can change our current status. We need to make observations. This was very important because we needed to find the location where it was best to supply weapons and more. We also need to talk about plans. Whoever will be in charge of this place and others"

"Arara, Garp-san. I also agree with this" Aokiji said calmly, "The battle can be fought by you later. At any time, you are free to do so. After all, none of us can keep you from coming to this place. Right now there are other priorities to be aware of especially this relates to the future of the Navy. Small mistakes will have a big impact later"

Garp instantly fell silent when he heard this.

"Well," Garp said with a sigh then stared at Sengoku, "Sengoku, whatever the plan, I will be here. No one else can stop me"

"Don't worry. You're someone who's going to be here. As long as you know my responsibilities, I won't pull you"

"Bawahaha, that's good. You understand me, Sengoku" Garp grinned excitedly then continued, "Well, then, let's start observation! The sooner the better! Those stupid monsters are already waiting for my arrival"

"Waiting for your arrival? They are waiting for you to be killed by them" Gion said flatly as she stared at Garp.

Garp didn't care about the comment Gion gave and just laughed loosely.

The five of them finally drove away from the city park and began to make observations related to the inside of the dungeon. It took about 2 hours more for them to go around Atlantis City and by this time they had found places that they would later use as places to feed materials such as weapons and others. They have also found a building that will later be used as their Guild headquarters on the 1st floor.

After surrounding Atlantis City, the five of them returned to the City Park and began to talk about plans.

"Who do you guys think is the most suitable to be placed here? Especially being the leader of our Guild here" Sengoku asked seriously.

"Arara, Sengoku-san. We can ask Master Zephyr to be the leader in this place" Aokiji said calmly, "He is very suitable to be a leader in this place. I am also sure that Master Zephyr will not refuse this, especially when he finds out about the items in this dungeon that can resurrect someone. Teacher Zephyr will be willing to be placed here"

"I also agree with this" Tsuru nodded, "Zephyr is the most suitable candidate to be the leader here and be placed here. We are not suitable to be leaders in this place, especially with the wide variety of jobs we have."

"Well, if Zephyr is the leader here. I also agree" Garp said calmly, "Whatever you guys decide, I don't care. As long as I can come here to fight and improve my strength. That's enough for me"

This answer from Garp made Sengoku very upset but he could only endure it.

"Sengoku-san" Gion walked in, "At least at this time, we don't need to bring a large number of people we come here to be adventurers. We only need to choose those who do have the ability to come here and then contribute to this place by improving our finances and also increasing their strength. This place is like the real world, the stronger the power we have, the more influential the person will be."

"I know" Sengoku nodded, "As for who will come later, I will reconsider it upon returning from this place."

"Arara, I guess I can get a place, right?" Aokiji asked with a smile.

"Sure" Sengoku nodded and looked at Gion, Garp, and Aokiji, "You will later become the ones who are here. Tsuru and I couldn't come because our position was so crucial. We can't just disappear"

Although Tsuru was eager to stay in this place, she knew that he currently held a very important post in the Navy. He could only let go of his desire.

"Then will we come back after this or will we still be here?" Gion asked directly.

"The three of you can stay here," Tsuru said seriously, "If everyone comes back tomorrow and will come together to this place. That would attract attention we didn't want"

"That's right" Sengoku nodded, "Tonight, you guys live in advance at our branch headquarters on Saboundy Island. Although I want you to stay in the dungeon to avoid the eyes of the World Government, however, we don't have the money to make you live there"

"Arara, we can use the guild section to stay," Aokiji said calmly, "I don't think Ars will care about us sleeping there"

"Hmph! I can't live there" Gion said with a frown, "I'll go back to the branch headquarters to live there."

"Well, if it's your wish. I will probably stay in that place" Aokiji said.

Their conversation continued by discussing various things. By the time the talks were over, Sengoku, Tsuru, and Gion immediately left the guild. Sengoku and Tsuru immediately returned to the Navy Headquarters to select who would participate in this activity. Gion went to the Branch headquarters to rest tonight. Meanwhile, Aokiji asks Ars for permission to stay in the guild where he gets his permission directly. On the other hand, Garp, went straight back to the monster zone to fight and died.

By the time Garp was satisfied with the battle, he immediately returned to the guild to take a break recovering from all the fatigue he had psychically gained.
