Chapter 41: Reinforcements Arrive

Grand Line, Saboundy Archipelago Island, Mangrove Trees 13.

"This is... Is this the place?"

"This place... It's almost like a bar versus a place that can change the pattern of the world."

The current time is already 5:25 in the morning. This means that at this time the atmosphere is no longer as dark as before. The sun has already slowly begun to show its light that will soon shine on this world.

Right in front of the Guild building, currently, Zephyr and the others have come up with them not wearing Navy clothes they still choose to wear casual clothes and carry every bit of their weaponry except for Zephyr who currently carries nothing but himself because Zephyr is fighting style only uses his bare hands.

"Ain, Binz" Zephyr immediately called the two of them seriously, "Remember and record this. Don't look at things just from the outside. If you still use that method to judge things, in the future you will both feel the consequences"

"We're sorry, Sensei"

Ain is a beautiful woman with a well-formed and tall body. Ain has wavy blue hair and fair skin. Ain wore a fairly tight shirt outfit as well as jeans and shorts. As for Binz, he is a man with a somewhat eccentric appearance. Binz was dressed in ninja clothes with a katana sword and a large shuriken behind his back.

The two immediately apologized quickly and recorded the lesson Zephyr had just given them into their minds.

"But, indeed this is very surprising," Yamakaji said with an interesting look towards the building in front of him, "It's hard to believe that this building will be a place that many people will fight for at a time when information about this place is known to many people"

"After all, this place is even more valuable today compared to the One Piece left by Roger. Anyone who knows about this place will come here even if they have to raise it" Momonga added.

"Let's go inside"

Zephyr immediately took the lead walking inside followed by them.

Guild.

At this time in the guild, there are only Aokiji and Garp currently inside. The two of them used the sofa in the guild to sleep comfortably there.

Instantly...

*Ring*

A ringing bell rang which woke Aokiji up while Garp was unaffected by the bell sound and continued to sleep. Aokiji immediately wakes up from his sleep while raising his blindfold to find out who is currently coming into the guild. Whether reinforcements on their part or someone else's.

"Zephyr-sensei"

The people who entered the guild were Zephyr and others. By the time they walked inside, they were immediately greeted with a view of a guild section that almost looked like a bar. However, the thing that caught their attention was the two portals that were behind the guild building. Simultaneously, they heard someone calling Zephyer and their gaze immediately turned toward Aokiji who was currently awakened from his sleep.

"Arara, finally reinforcements are coming too," Aokiji said lazily as he slowly sat down in his current position.

Zephyr and the others immediately walked towards Aokiji and they also saw Garp who was currently asleep comfortably on the other's couch.

"Kuzan, what is the portal leading to the dungeon?" Zephyr immediately asked, pointing to the two portals behind the guild building.

"Sure" Aokiji nodded, "The two portals have entrances into the dungeon. The portal that is on the right is the entrance while the portal that is on the left is the exit. The scene you currently see on the side of the portal is the scene from inside the dungeon"

"The view from inside the dungeon?" Momonga muttered and walked over in the direction of the portal along with Yamakaji and Vergo with a curious look.

"You can see it up close, but don't try to touch or enter the portal," Aokiji said with a yawn, "Although we don't know what will happen or what punishment will later be given to the person who violates the rules, we better anticipate it. Don't let just a small mistake impact us"

"We understand" Momonga, Yamakaji, and Vergo nodded and just stood by the portal looking at it up close. They are quite curious about this.

At the same time, Garp's life bubble burst which caused him to wake up. Garp yawned as he looked around him then his gaze stared at Zephyr, "Oh? Zephyr! Finally, you came too"

"Vice Admiral Garp!" Momonga, Yamakaji, and Vergo immediately walked toward him while greeting him respectfully. Although they have the same position, the status possessed by Garp exceeds the status they have. They still have to respect Garp no matter what the circumstances.

"Oh? So you guys who were chosen by Sengoku" Garp nodded then smiled, "You'd better get ready. In the dungeon, it is not something easy. Even the monsters who are there even though their strength is weak when compared to our strength here, our strength there has also been passed down. It's hard to beat them"

"We've heard about you from Sengoku, Garp," Zephyr said calmly as he sat down on the couch Garp was currently occupying, "How does it feel to die in the dungeon?"

"Arara, I'm also quite curious about this" Aokiji said with interest, "Do we also feel the feeling of pain just as we got the wound, Garp-san?"

This question asked by Zephyr immediately attracted the attention of everyone there. They are also curious about this.

"I'm not sure to say what his death in the dungeon feels like when compared to the real world. However, all I knew was that during the time we were injured in the dungeon. The wounds we get feel the same as the wounds we get in this real world. At the time of death too, I had already died several times in the dungeon and it felt quite painful"

"Several times tasted death?"

"Bwahaha, of course," Garp, who heard them surprised, was very happy and said, "The monsters there are very interesting to fight. Their strength is also very strong and we are free to do anything against them. My previous fighting will be back on and resulted in last night me dying a few times against the monsters there and it was quite fun"

"It's quite fun? Only you say death is a pleasant thing Garp" Zephyr said flatly

"Hmmm," Garp's gaze immediately glanced at Ain and Binz, "Who are the two of them, Zephyr? Your student?"

"Ain and Binz. They are both my students," Zephyr said calmly, "They both have very good potential and can become one of the backbones of the Navy in the future. Therefore, I brought them both here to train and want to make them people on the front line."

"Vice Admiral Garp"

Soon Ain and Binz saluted Garp.

"Good. I hope you two can get ready. The monsters in the dungeon are not something you can easily fight. For those of you who don't have much experience in battle, you should both form a party and then carry out the mission together."

"We understand, Vice Admiral Garp"

"Garp" Zephyr again called, "Sengoku advised me to tell you to be serious in action this time. We are currently chasing each other with time. We must raise as much money as possible to build the foundation and also improve our strength. If you always have silly fights like before, your strength will still be at the same level as today"

"I know, I know" Garp waved his hand casually, "Last night it was just a warm-up for me, and wanted to let go of my overall desire to fight."

"Arara, Zephyr-sensei. So how will our arrangements be?" Aokiji asked with interest, "Are we going to do missions in the form of parties or perform their respective missions?"

"We will do our respective missions," Zephyr said seriously, looking at Ain and Binz, "Except for the two of you who are going to build a party to carry out the mission together"

"Currently, the power we have in the dungeon is not good for carrying out monster hunting missions and also doing expansion. Although there is also a possibility that we can complete the mission, it will only take a long time. Compared to doing such a long-time-consuming mission, we should take a mission that can be completed quickly and get quite a lot of results" Zephyr said seriously as he continued, "Also, we need to adapt to our strength. The mission we are going to take for the time being is the mission of collecting medicinal plant materials—"

"Huh? The mission of collecting medicinal plants? It was so boring! I don't want it" Garp immediately rejected it seriously.

"Don't play here, Garp! We bring the future of the Navy today! Just a little mistake will be very fatal for us!" Zephyr immediately said angrily.

"I know! You don't need to lecture me like this, Sengoku" Garp said dissatisfiedly: "But the mission to collect medicinal materials? I don't want it! Compared to taking such a boring mission, I will take the mission to do the hunting of the horned cow monster"

"Horned cow? Is that one of the monsters in the dungeon?" Vergo asked with interest.

"yes," Garp nodded, "Yesterday I had a chance to fight them and the abilities they have are quite limited through their scrambling attacks and also the use of their horns to tear their enemies apart. I also saw that there were quite a lot of missions to do the hunting of horned cows for milk as well as meat. I will take this mission. This is a more suitable mission for me to carry out than taking on the mission of doing plant collection!"

"Garp—"

"Zephyr-sensei" Aokiji suddenly said, "I guess it's fine to carry out this mission. I'm also quite interested in carrying out this mission. There are also quite a lot of prizes that can be obtained through this mission. We currently have 7 people who have fighting experience. We can build a party of four. Later at every party, there would be two people there except for one party where they had to be together with Ain and Binz to take care of both of them. Monster-hunting missions are also very good missions for us to do. We can adapt to our strengths there while also killing the monsters that are there. Every monster killed later will give us experience. Although the Exp given is relatively small compared to the Exp the results obtained. However, as long as we kill enough monsters. The experience gained will also accumulate a lot and with the accumulation of mission rewards obtained, it will accelerate us to increase our strength"

"Zephyr-sensei, I think I also support the idea of hunting monsters," Momonga said calmly, "We also need to adapt to our strength at the moment of entering the dungeon. It will be difficult for us to adapt to the strengths we have at a time when we are only doing material collection missions. Isn't it the best thing to adapt through? It's also what you've taught us, Zephyr-sensei"

Yamakaji and Vergo also nodded in agreement with this. In fact, in addition to this reason they said, the other reason for them not wanting to take on the mission for the collection of medicinal materials is because of their reputation. It would be a shame for them if they were known to be doing such a mission when there were other missions they could carry out.

"Bawahaha, you heard that, Zephyr. It is better to do a hunting mission than a collection mission. That's more exciting than doing a very boring material collection mission."

"Shut up you Garp!" Zephyr yelled angrily, "Okay, we go with the idea. I will go along with Ain and Binz. Both of them still need my guidance. Their current experience is still very lacking compared to ours. It would be difficult for them to fight if at any time they would encounter a monster with a higher power level."

No one disputed Zephyr's decision. At the same time, Momonga and Yamakaji had formed a party in the dungeon while Garp and Aokiji, the two of them formed a party. On the other hand, Vergo, will be at a party with Gion and currently needs to wait for Gion to come to give himself an explanation regarding the current situation.

"Admiral Aokiji, Vice Admiral Garp" Virgo suddenly called, "We heard from Sengoku-san that there is a guidebook in this place that helps us to know more details about dungeons and guilds. It just so happens that at the moment it seems that the owner of this place is still not there for us to sign up to be adventurers. Where is the guidebook? I think we also need to know in detail about this place"

"What Vergo said is indeed true" Zephyr nodded, "Although we have previously obtained some information from Sengoku, the information provided by me is not detailed. He also asked you to read the guidebook when you arrive. Where is the guidebook placed?"

"You guys bother to read that book? It's too boring. What's in this dungeon is the same as in the real world, there is no need to bother to read it"

"Shut up Garp! We are not the same as you!"

"The guidebook is located on the administrative desk. You can see five stacked books, right? It was his guidebook. You can use it but can't borrow it. The book can only be used in this place"

Ain immediately walked towards the administration desk and picked up the guidebook that was there and then began to give it to Zephyr, Momonga, Yamakaji, and Vergo. While the other book was used by him and Binz to find out about this place. They immediately took their respective places. Ain and Binz sat at the wooden dining table in the guild's central room. Meanwhile, Momonga, Yamakaji, and Vergo read on another sofa closest to the guild entrance.

While on Garp and Aokiji's side, the two of them have left the guild to find food they can eat. They both need the energy to carry out the mission to be carried out today.
