"But you guys don't worry, when you die you can revive but your level will decrease" ( Arata )
"Revived? What kind of nonsense is that?" ( Marguerite )
"That's not bullshit, coming back to life is one of the strengths of the Dungeon" ( Arata )
Hearing information like this, the Kuja Pirates were stunned. With the ability to revive, it means that everyone can try continuously without stopping.
Although there is a reduction in level, according to them this shortcoming is not too heavy. But that was their initial thought. If they knew how hard it was to level up, they wouldn't make a suicidal plan by leveling like crazy.
"In addition to level reduction, when you die the items stored in the inventory will drop where you were killed. So it's better to be careful when storing items in the inventory" ( Arata )
"Wait... If it's like that, later on there will be people who intend to kill other adventurers right? For the sake of getting the victims' belongings. How about that?" ( Ran )
"You don't need to worry. There is a penalty for the perpetrator of the murder if such a case occurs. If the perpetrator has committed murder for the first time, that person will automatically not stop killing because he sees the benefits he gets from his actions.
Maybe there will be a second, third and so on. If the number of victims reaches 5, the perpetrator will receive a penalty in the form of a level reduction of 20% from his current level. And also a ban on entering the Dungeon for 1 week. The percentage of level reduction can increase if the perpetrator continues to kill fellow adventurers" ( Arata )
"So it's like that. We can rest easy when we meet other adventurers who are not related to us. We also have to be careful about storing things in our inventory" ( Sweet Pea )
"Right, like that. Think carefully about your every move in the Dungeon. So, anyone else intending to register?" ( Arata )
"Before signing up, we wanted to confirm other things first. How does the strength of the monsters inside the Dungeon compare to those outside?" ( Ran )
"Good question. For comparison, you can use Sea Kings. Sea Kings only occupy floors 90-120 for a total of 250 floors. So you can estimate it yourself, right?" ( Arata )
"What? That's all? You're not lying, are you?" ( Ran )
"Of course I'm not lying. You guys can try it yourself later" ( Arata )
Ran and the others found it hard to believe this information. If the Sea King was at mid level, what kind of monsters were at the top level. And what if the monsters came out of the Dungeon? Only the destruction of the world could be thought of by Ran and the Kuja Pirates.
"Additionally, if the Roger the Pirate King enters the Dungeon at his peak, he can only reach the max of the 150th floor. With the Yonkou the others are just a bit below, around floors 135-145. Although for Shirohige now maybe it won't be that high, because of the condition of his body" ( Arata )
Again they were made to find it difficult to believe the information provided by Arata. But with Arata's position as Guild Master in the Adventurer's Guild, the truth in his words had a high percentage.
"Just now you said that you are the Guildmaster here, that means you own the Dungeon?" ( Aphelandra )
"You could say that. Now, I am the owner and manager of the Dungeon who has full authority to control everything in the Dungeon" ( Arata )
For the umpteenth time they were made hard to believe what Arata was saying. If everything Arata said is true then he is the strongest person in the world right now. If Arata wanted, he could destroy the world by getting all the monsters out of the Dungeon.
"..... What is your purpose?" ( Ran )
Ran's voice trembled a little, there was fear inside her towards the man in front of her. At first glance like an ordinary person but he has extraordinary powers which might destroy the world.
"Don't worry. My goal is simple, which is to manage this Dungeon. I want people to enter and explore the Dungeon. To rule the world? Overthrow the World Government? Search for One Piece? I'm not interested in any of that. Also I'm not taking sides with either party" ( Arata )
The woman in the Kuja Pirates sighs at Arata's goal, at least it doesn't look like he's lying.
"...Just now I heard that woman named Asuna say that you all are strong including girls too. How was that?" ( Marguerite )
"Let me explain. It's fine right?" ( Asuna )
"Sure, no problem" ( Arata )
"Ehem... At first we were just like you, an adventurer starting from level 1 and floor 1. We continued exploring the Dungeon every day until we finally finished it by defeating the Boss on floor 250. After clearing the Dungeon we were given various choices which in the end we chose to manage the Dungeon. That's why the Dungeon appeared here a few days ago, you guys are lucky that you guys were the first to discover this place. Do you have an idea of our strength yet?" ( Asuna )
".....Thanks for telling us" ( Marguerite )
"Hehe, no problem" ( Asuna )
Marguerite and the others were tired of being shocked by what they heard. Even if they didn't see it directly, somehow they could believe that what Arata and Asuna said was true.
"...Very well, we will register as adventurers" ( Marguerite )
"Good choice, then put your hands on this ball" ( Arata )
After that the other members registered to become adventurers. All of them on average have the same abilities, with differences in their mastery of skills.
There are Busoshoku Haki and Kenbunshoku Haki who are still at level C and even D. Apart from Archery, there are those who have Swordsmanship and Martial Arts skills.

"Registration is all done. So you guys want to try to enter the Dungeon?" ( Arata )
"May i?" ( Daisy )
"Of course, you guys have registered to be adventurers. You are free to enter the Dungeon, but if you want to pick up and report completed Quests please pay attention to the time. The four of us also have rest time, details you can see on the sign beside" ( Arata )
08.00 - Guild starts operating
12.00 - Rest
13.00 - Guild is back in operation
17.30 - Rest
18.30 - Guild is back in operations
22.30 - Guild ceases to operate
"You guys can enter the Dungeon freely now but remember what I informed you earlier. It's still working hours so as a bonus for being the first adventurer to register, I'll guide you and explain the basics. But before entering you better report to Hancock first about the Adventurer's Guild, Dungeons and their benefits" ( Arata )
"Oh, right. We almost forgot, thanks for reminding" ( Sweet Pea )
Arata just answered no problem. Then Ran took the Den Den Mushi and dialed a number, calling Hancock to report about what they found.
Puru Puru Puru.
The Den Den Mushi rang briefly before a sound was heard, indicating the call had been answered by the other side.
Kacha.
"What is it?"
A woman's voice sounded, Ran spoke for her friends.
"Hebihime, this is Ran who went to the Sabaody Archipelago. We have something to report" ( Ran )
