Grand Line, Saboundy Archipelago Island, Mangrove Trees 13.
The time at this time has entered the evening. The sun that had previously shone on the corners of the earth has changed into a moon that illuminates the night. Area 13 on Saboundy Archipelago Island is an area that has no laws or rules. This is why this area is very rarely inhabited by residents and it is currently known that there are only two buildings in area 13. The buildings are Shakky's Rip of Bar and the Guild. Although there are only two buildings occupied, area 13 still has lighting lights installed in several corners to be used as street lighting.
"Gion, is it true that this is the place?"
At this time, right in front of the Guild building, Admiral Sengoku Fleet, Laksmana Aokiji, Vice Admiral Garp, Vice Admiral Tsuru, and Vice Admiral Gion were already there. The report submitted by Gion before regarding the Guild and the Dungeon immediately attracted the attention of all of them.
As a Fleet Admiral, usually Sengoku will not leave the headquarters easily because of their position held by him at this time and also several other things. However, hearing the entire report given by Gion and seeing firsthand what had happened to Gion, Sengoku without thinking immediately led the team to come to his place to see him in person.
"This is indeed the place, Sengoku-san" Gion nodded and continued, "Although the appearance of this building seems ordinary. The shocking thing is in the interior of this building"
"In that case, what are you waiting for? Let's get in on to see how magical things are in this dungeon" Garp said excitedly.
Without thinking, Garp immediately took the lead in walking into the guild building followed by his co-workers. At the moment when they walked into the building, they immediately saw the two portals that were behind the guild building and exposed the atmosphere of Atlantis City at night.
"Arara, what is the portal you mentioned before as the entrance and exit from the inside of the dungeon?"
Aokiji's gaze was immediately full of interest looking at the portal. His interest in dungeons and guilds is higher than ever.
Gion nodded and said, "The portal on the right is used as the entrance while the portal on the left is used for the exit from inside the dungeon" Gion paused and stared at Garp who was already walking towards the portal, "Garp-chan! You better not do anything weird. You are not currently an adventurer and do not have access to enter there"
"Hahaha, don't worry. I'm just interested in taking a close look" Garp said with a smile like a child.
"No one came to welcome?" Tsuru asked, raising her forehead while casting her gaze toward the administration desk.
Gion was also quite confused by this and then she looked towards a small notice board on the administrative table. Gion and others immediately walked up to the venue and saw the announcement.
"I think we'll have to wait some time," Sengoku said with dignity and instantly his gaze immediately turned to Garp, "What are you doing, Garp?!"
Immediately, everyone's gaze turned to Garp who at this time he wanted to try to use his hand to touch the portal.
"Stop!" Gion immediately shouted loudly and sternly, "Garp-chan! Don't touch that portal! I've said before, haven't I? Don't approach that place before you are officially registered as an adventurer!"
"Garp! Stop that stupid behavior of yours" Tsuru said seriously: "We don't know what punishment will happen as long as you dare to break the rules in this place. If the punishment is just a restriction for a few days, it doesn't matter. However, if it is a prohibition penalty for us to come here. We're going to have a huge loss."
"Hahaha, it's like that" Garp was very embarrassed while scratching the back of his head and walking closer to them back, "By the way, where is the owner of this place?"
"It seems that we have to wait, Garp-san," Aokiji said calmly, "Our arrival time coincides with his rest time"
"Wait? It was so boring"
"Shut up!" Sengoku immediately shouted irritably to Garp, "At least at this time we can use this time to be able to learn more about the dungeon and this place"
Gion nodded and turned her attention towards the neatly arranged guidebook, "this is a guidebook written by Ars. This book records the overall basic information regarding dungeons and guilds. While waiting, you can read it. It also happens that the information previously revealed by me has not been completely disclosed"
No one disputes that. They all immediately picked up a guidebook for each of them except Gion who had previously read it. They immediately took their seats on the sofa and began to read the guidebook.
Simultaneously...
Sengoku and others felt the arrival of many people. They immediately turned their attention towards the portal out of the dungeon and saw a large number of people i.e. women coming out of it led by Boa Hancock.
"Navy?"
Hancock frowned seeing that the navy's top brass was already there. Hancock did not expect that the Navy would quickly make a move. The thing that surprised her was the existence of Sengoku who was with them.
"Arara, it seems that what Gion said is true" Aokiji immediately opened the conversation between them, "It's quite surprising for you to be able to know this place, Boa Hancock"
"Hmph!" Hancock sniffed contemptuously at Aokiji and looked at them back, "I didn't expect that you guys would pay attention to this kind of place, especially with the existence of the top navy here. Do you guys intend to take over this place?"
"Don't get me wrong" Sengoku said with great firmness, "We came here having no such intentions"
"Really? It's something bad joke listened to by me today"
"Hancock" Tsuru suddenly said seriously: "Don't get me wrong about our intention to come here. We don't want to take over this place. We've also gotten a warning from the owner of this place before through Gion. Our arrival here just wanted to find this place and learn about it. That's it"
"That's it? Hmph! Maybe that was just your original intention. Right now only you guys know about this place. Then, what if this place is already known by the World Government? Do you guys still dare—"
"Enough!" Sengoku shouted sternly and stared at Hancock fiercely, "Pay attention to your identity, Boa Hancock. You are a Shichibukai and it is not worthy of you to question the actions we took! As long as you continue this action you did, I can immediately relinquish your identity as a Shichibukai and arrest you right now"
"Hmph!" Hancock just sniffed dissatisfiedly and said, "Let's go"
Hancock immediately led her entire army out of the guild.
The Navy today is already different from the previous Navy. If the previous Navy was a navy that was obedient to the World Government. But, the current Navy is different. They have the desire to part ways with the World Government side. They knew the terrifying potential of the emergence of guilds and dungeons.
Previously the Navy got sources of income and others through the World Government. However, with the emergence of guilds, they have other alternatives to get this source of income.
Power, Weapons, Finance, and more.
All of them can be obtained through the guild just by relying on their abilities.
Sengoku and others currently have plans to stage a rebellion by secretly increasing the power they have. This means that information about this guild itself will try to be hidden by Sengoku and others from the World Government. They will also try to make selections related to who will be adventurers or can be said to be informed about this place.
Current candidates go through their previous talks,
Admiral Kizaru
Admiral Akainu
Vice Admiral Chaton
Vice Admiral Momonga
Vice Admiral Stainless
Vice Admiral Doberman
Vice Admiral Vergo
Vice Admiral Yamakaji
Vice-Admiral Dalmatian
....
There are many more, but those are just the candidates they will choose one by one. They will see if they are loyal to the Navy or not before they are informed of this place. As for the Admiral himself, without thinking, the two Admirals will be notified by Sengoku.
Although both of them are naughty children. After all, they are both loyal people to the Navy, especially Akainu.
Time slowly passed until the rest time was finally over.
Sengoku and the others heard the sound of footsteps coming down from the hands and their gazes went straight to Ars who was currently already walking down from the second floor to continue the work he had at the moment.
"Hmm? Oh, welcome to the Guild" Ars immediately greeted them with a kind smile, "I never thought Gion would bring the bigwigs of the Navy to come here. I guess I should probably thank you" Ars's gaze instantly shifted toward Gion and said, "Thank you very much"
Gion just nodded back at the gratitude.
"Hehe, Ars. I guess you're hitting me, aren't you? Is it true that dungeons are something very interesting? Just like I can fight freely there?" Asked Garp, who was already walking ahead among the others.
"You're free to do anything in that dungeon, Garp," Ars said calmly, "As long as it's not in the safe zone, you're free to go crazy there. There are many monsters there for you to hunt or want to do anything. It's up to you to do it"
"Bwahaha, that's the place I've been looking forward to," Garp said excitedly with a laugh, "Then what are you waiting for? I want to register myself immediately"
"Sign up? Have you finished reading the guidebook?" Ars asked in confusion as to where he saw Garp holding the book.
"Not at all. But, I already know the basics. Let's hurry up! I can't wait to be able to enter the dungeon for adventure"
"Well, you can indeed go directly into the dungeon for adventure after you have adventured. However, at this time was already evening. The monster zone has become more dangerous at this moment"
'More dangerous?' Sengoku asked, raising his forehead.
"There will be a difference between the strength and the number of monsters that are in the monster zone during the day and night. During the day, the strength of the monsters there is normal or it can be said that their strength is only the standard strength they have. Meanwhile, by the time it comes to night, the strength they have will be 2 to 3 times higher than their current strength, and even their numbers will also increase compared to before."
"Isn't that an interesting thing?" Garp grinned excitedly, "Besides, won't we die while in the dungeon? This old man wanted to try the monster's strength at night. Can they survive with my punches or not?"
"You know, don't you? Your strength will later be restored to the level of a normal person. Your strength will not be the same as when you were here"
"What does it matter? It's just a reduction in strength. As long as my ability is still there, I still have the confidence to go forward and fight" Garp waved his hand casually without any fear at all, once, "Well, come on! I can't wait to explore the inside of the dungeon!"
Sengoku and the others who are currently with Garp can only sigh and also they don't feel worried because death is not in the dungeon.
"Mr. Ars" Sengoku called Ars with a call of honor, "Maybe let this fool do the desired thing. Let him feel it for himself"
"You don't need to use honorifics for me, it's a bit of a nodding. Just call me Ars. It's more comfortable to hear"
"I understand" Sengoku nodded and didn't mind that.
Sengoku was also happy with it because with himself knowing this, Sengoku felt that Ars did not hold any grudges or anything against the Navy in other words Ars was neutral according to the words of Gion.
Ars immediately picked up his crystal ball and pushed it forward in front of Garp, "Put your hand on this crystal ball, and then the registration process will begin immediately. During the registration process, there will be some kind of power entering your body. Don't resist and let that power be integrated into your body. The power itself is the status panel and also the entry into the dungeon"
"Hahaha, I understand! Let's do it right away"
Garp excitedly directly placed one of his hands on the crystal ball. Instantly, the crystal ball emitted a bright light. Sengoku and others even Gion looked with interest at the process. Garp also sensed a foreign part entering his body and remembering what Ars had said before, Garp accepted the part and slowly the part began to integrate into his body.
Instantly... The status pane appears in Garp's view.

"Oh? Is this my status panel?"
Garp was full of feelings of excitement looking at the status panel that belonged to him. Sengoku and others also immediately looked at the status panel owned by Garp and felt that it was not strange except for one thing.
"Rokushiki is only A-level?" Sengoku asked strangely.
"The judgment is not wrong," Ars said calmly, "Although you guys think that Rokushiki is a powerful martial arts ability. However, when compared to various fighting abilities in the dungeon. It's still below. There are many powerful martial arts abilities an example is Hachimon"
Ars said calmly, "Hachimon's martial arts ability is a martial ability that focuses on opening up the boundaries of the body possessed by a person. Everyone has 8 body boundaries which are found in the brain, the middle of the body, and finally the heart. As long as these barriers are opened, a person's strength will increase several times compared to before. For example, Garp, who has this physical strength, learns this ability and then uses it in battle. It is only enough that he opened the two boundary gates on his body, Garp can defeat a Sea Emperor without any distress at all"
"...."
The atmosphere fell silent while listening to the explanation from Ars.
"It also depends, can you guys get the technique or not? The technique is in the dungeon and waiting for someone to find it. It could be that the technique is upstairs, it could be downstairs. The stronger the person who uses the technique, the more dangerous the person will be, the Technique itself is classified as an SS-level technique."
"SS level?!"
They were all shocked by the new information.
"On the issue of the assessment carried out. I think you guys already know about the ability assessment here, right? The assessment is not only how strong the technique is, but rather how skilled and step the technique is. Rokushiki's technique assessment is at A level for Garp's case because he has fully mastered this ability and is proficient in using it. While, if in the case of the person is not fluent in using this skill or perhaps they do not fully master this ability, it is likely that the assessment will only get B or even C"
(Information: Gion also has the ability Rokushiki. The value for Rokushiki Gion is only C, which is because Gion does not fully master this ability. I forgot to add it before. I'm sorry)
"Ok. Garp. You can already retract your hand. Currently, you have been registered as an adventurer. Do you want to go on an adventure soon or wait for something else?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Garp grinned excitedly, "Waiting for them is too long. I'm also not sure if they to come together with me. I'll go by myself"
Garp without turning his head towards Sengoku and others immediately walked away.
"Wait for Garp!" Sengoku immediately yelled and this immediately stopped Garp's footsteps.
"What's the matter? Do you want to stop me? Impossible! I haven't fought wholeheartedly for a long time" Garp immediately said firmly.
"I didn't stop you, Garp" Sengoku said with a gloomy face, "Just don't forget to check the part of your friendship status panel. We will likely send out friend invitations to be able to communicate with each other."
"Is that all you want to say, Sengoku? Take it easy, I will pay attention to it" Garp fearlessly said immediately and turned to stare at the portal, "Ok, stupid monsters! This old man will come and fight with you guys soon"
Garp immediately stepped inside the portal leaving Sengoku and others who could only resign themselves to his departure.
