Chapter 13: The Movement of the Emperor of the Ocean - Akagami no Shanks

New World, Natsunari Island.

"Dungeon... Such a place, is there really in this world?" Shanks asked in a tone full of surprise.

At this time Shanks' feelings were full of emotion after he finished listening to all the explanations Rayleigh gave him.

It's not just him.

The whole person listening to the explanation given by Rayleigh at this time was silent. Because it's hard to be able to believe what he just listened to.

"The whitebeard in there has only reached the middle level of strength, what... Is this a joke?" Bonk Punk asked nervously.

"Roar! Roar!"

On the shoulders of Bonk Punk at this time there is a large monkey. This monkey is one of the Commanders of the Akagami Pirate Group, monsters.

Mihawk also at this time his feelings were full of emotions. Because from the explanation given by Rayleigh, there are many very powerful weapons in the dungeon. The weapon he was holding and using at this time, was Yoru. If you follow the rules of power in the dungeon, Yoru is only at a low level in the sword type level.

Ben Backman, who is known as a very genius, was also silent at this time to hear all the explanations given by Rayleigh.

"It's hard to believe this" Rayleigh's voice came back, "However, that's the truth, Shanks."

"Rayleigh, how many know about that place?" Ben Backman asked seriously.

"Right now only I and Shakky know about this place. When he first came there and met with Ars, he told us that we were his first guests and also we were the first to sign up to be adventurers in that place" Rayleigh said, "However, if you count at the moment. At this time, the information of the place is already known to you and also the Kuja Pirate Group"

"Kuja Pirate Group?" Hongo frowned.

"Shakky was previously the former Empress of Amazon Island Lily and she used this opportunity to increase the chances of Amazon Island Lily becoming stronger again" Rayleigh immediately explained, "It is possible that shortly, Hancock and others will soon come to sign up to be adventurers in the dungeon"

"I see" Ben Backman nodded.

"Shanks, how did you decide?" Rayleigh asked directly, "Do you accept it or not?"

"Of course!" Shanks's previously turbulent emotions were instantly full of excitement, "I accept this request. Although no item could help the Captain, there was a fun adventure waiting for us there. Coupled with the presence of items that can help to revive the Captain, There are many reasons for me to come to that place"

"Hahaha, that's right Boss," Yasoop said with emotion, "That place is a paradise for those who want an adventurer. Just forget about this territory. The dungeon has summoned us to be able to conquer it"

"Roar!" The monster immediately roared excitedly.

Although he is an animal. However, Monsters are animals that have very high intelligence. Monsters also have a very high desire for adventure almost the same as Shanks and others.

"You have changed your slogan, Yasoop," Lime Juice said calmly, "Didn't you have the slogan of the pirate flag calling me before?"

"Fool! The era of pirates is coming to an end with the appearance of this dungeon" Yasoop said with a grin, "The era to come today is the Adventurer's Era in the dungeon. At this time, my slogan should also be changed! The dungeon has been waiting for me to come and then conquer it"

"That's right!" Bonk Punk shouted excitedly, "A place that no one has ever conquered! A place is full of various powerful monsters! Isn't it a very interesting place for us to explore?! We Akagami Pirate Group should be a frontline group adventuring there"

"Hehehe, this is a very interesting place" Hongo also chuckled softly, "I'm quite interested, is there a new treatment method that I have never known?"

"That place is something we've been waiting for all along" Building Snake also added, "Almost all places in the world we've been visiting except for Laugh Tale Island. But, I think we just let Luffy go there to get One Piece. Compared to going to one place. We'd better go to a place that has a lot of mystery and excitement, especially a place that no one has ever conquered."

"I wonder, which level of strength is my strength when compared to the monsters in that dungeon?" Howling Gab muttered with his gaze full of strong intentions to come to the place.

"Shanks, I'll wait for you here. After you arrive at Saboundy Island, just come to the building that has the signboard of the "Guild". The building is close to the bar owned by Shakky. By the time you arrive near Shakky's bar, you'll certainly be able to see the building in person" Rayleigh paused and continued, "Remember, Shanks! Don't provoke Ars. He is not someone we can provoke. I don't know what this guy's real purpose is. Whether this guy just wants to have fun or not. However, as long as this person is angry, no one in the world can stop him"

"I understand" Shanks nodded seriously and recorded this information carefully in his mind.

The communication connection between the two was directly cut off. Shanks immediately put away the den-den mushi.

"We're lucky," Ben Backman said, exhaling his cigarette smoke, "We have acquaintances who are there and are also willing to give us this information. Given the rules in the place that state that everyone will have the same power when they first enter the dungeon, whoever first explores the place will become a person with a very big influence when information about the dungeon is known to many parties."

"yes" Hongo nodded, "We have to seize the current moment. Information about dungeons is still not widely known by various parties. However, this information may soon be known by various circles because of the movements we make. Nonetheless, they will also certainly need time to search and gather information regarding the place. During this period, we can use it by increasing the combat power we have in the dungeon. If you can, use that opportunity to be able to get the mastery for a floor to guarantee the finances we have in the dungeon."

"It's hard to be able to build a plan to get mastery of a floor" Shanks shook his head, "As explained by Rayleigh, the mission to defeat the floor boss alone has a difficulty level 10 times more difficult than the usual missions on the floor due to the difference in strength status that is 10 times apart. Meanwhile, the mission to get mastery the floor has a difficulty level of more than 10 times compared to the mission of defeating the floor boss. That means the difficulty of those missions is 100 times compared to the hardest missions that can be taken for a typical adventurer"

"It's rare for you to use your head like this, Akagami," Mihawk said with a weird face while staring at Shanks.

"Dahahaha, that's because you never saw me like that, Eagle Eye" Shanks laughed loosely, "Oh, yes. Eagle Eye, I'm sorry. I think the party we did to celebrate your victory should be stopped"

"Who also asked to be made?" Mihawk asked flatly then stood up directly from his seat.

"Where are you going, Eagle Eye?" Shanks asked.

"Of course, it's to Saboundy Island," Eagle Eye said calmly but there was a very strong intention in his eyes, "There is such an interesting place. It's only natural for me to come there. Besides, I guess, what I'm looking for is there"

"Well, then. How about you come with us? Wouldn't it be better for us to go together?" Shanks asked with a grin.

"Don't want to" Mihawk immediately rejected him, "Being with you will only give me a headache and will contract your stupidity virus"

"Hahaha, Boss, you have been rejected again" Lucky Roo immediately said excitedly containing mockery, "You've had two rejections today from Eagle Eye"

Mihawk without waiting for a long time immediately walked away leaving the entire Akagami Group Commander who was currently laughing at Shanks.

"It's natural for Eagle Eye not to want to come with us, Boss" Ben Backman said, "Have you forgotten? He holds the title of Shichibukai. Eagle Eye can use the Marijoa route to be able to arrive at Saboundy Island faster. That way, it is likely that tomorrow, the Eagle Eye is already there"

"Oh, yes it is— What? Wait!" Shanks instantly remembered something, "He will be there sooner? Didn't it mean that he would soon enter the dungeon and then take the lead? Unlucky! This can't be left alone"

"I support you, boss!" Yasoop shouted excitedly, "We have to make moves too! Our group should be the group that is at the forefront of paving the way! This opportunity cannot be allowed to be given to Mihawk and others"

"Roar! Roar!" Monster also agreed by interfering with his head.

"Little ones!" Shanks immediately stood up and shouted forcefully, "Quickly withdraw all our supplies and prepare the ship! We will soon sail towards Saboundy Island! No matter what! Our goal is there! Whoever stands in our way! No matter the Navy, the World Government, or the Emperor of the Ocean! We will destroy them all! Nothing can prevent us from going out to find adventurers in the dungeon!"

"Ou!"

All members of the Akagami Pirate Group are not someone who is crazy about wealth and wealth. They prefer adventures as well as parties. Therefore, at the moment of knowing the place called the dungeon. Each of them brings the desire to go there and go on an adventure to explore various kinds of places that no one in the world has ever known or has ever seen.

"It's just that this is the stupid nature of the boss" Ben Backman sighed.

Although Ben Backman didn't show much desire. However, it can be seen from his eyes, that Ben Backman also has the desire to explore the inside of the dungeon. Especially considering the existence of the Hall Of Fame where each individual or group manages to defeat the floor boss. Their names will be recorded there.

It was a matter of pride for him.

Not only he, but everyone else certainly want their names to at least have been recorded on the black wall. Because as long as their names are recorded there, they will always be known even if they have passed away.

In addition to the Akagami Pirate Group and Mihawk who began to make moves to come to Saboundy Island. The Kuja Pirate Group led by Boa Hancock has also at this time begun to make moves to come to Saboundy Island.

After Hancock listened to all the explanations given by Shakky. Hancock currently has two objectives in the dungeon. The first goal is to get a medicine capable of healing the permanent scars that are on her back along with her two sisters. While the second goal is to increase her strength in the dungeon and look for strong items to help her get stronger.
