Chapter 44: Time-Related Ability

Zephyr is not someone who has a terrifying talent like Garp and Sengoku. The power possessed by him alone is not very strong when compared with the main combat power. The power that Zephyr possessed at the peak of his life was only at the level of a Deputy Admiral. Zephyr got his position as an Admiral not because of his strength. Zephyr gained his position as an Admiral due to his achievements obtained by him.

If the Admiral were only determined by strength alone, Zephyr would certainly not be elected because his strength was not at that level.

"I want to ask something, Ars" Zephyr himself just glanced at his status panel and then glanced at Ars seriously.

"Question? Please"

"Is it true that the resurrection crystal exists? Are there a lot of items that can resurrect a deceased person in the dungeon?"

"I think the answer you already know," Ars said calmly: "Such an item exists. You just need to look for it yourself and then get it. Don't think about buying information related to that item from me. There is some information that can be bought from me there is also something unlike the information regarding the resurrection crystal and also the location of the floor boss of a floor. This information cannot be bought by me. You guys have to find it yourself"

"That's enough for me. Thank you very much"

"Try hard, Zephyr" Ars said with a smile, "I know your past and I hope you can re-realize that wish of yours. Don't forget, if you can successfully resurrect your family. Introduce to me. I am quite interested in your family"

Zephyr's eyes flashed with excitement and nodded, "I will do it"

"Ok. You can retreat and let others sign up. You can study his status panel behind"

Zephyr nodded and immediately retreated.

"Hmm?"

Simultaneously, everyone's entire sight went straight in the direction of the dungeon exit portal. There you can see Rayleigh, Hancock, Marigold, and Sandersonia walking out of there.

"Oh? Return? Did you just get information related to the mission-related updates you got?" Ars asked with a smile.

Rayleigh nodded, "That's a pretty drastic change even though the level of the mission is currently not at our current level. What is the uncertainty factor you always tell us?"

"Sure" Ars nodded, "Don't even think that just because you are downstairs you will fight monsters with low levels. I've said it before and it's been over and over again, there are a lot of uncertainty factors that exist in this dungeon and you have to be aware of that. Hmm, by the way, are you guys going to take and continue this mission, or do you want to stop this mission? I'll tell you guys, the reward for this mission is huge"

"So big?" Rayleigh asked with interest.

"How much is the reward change from this mission?" Hancock asked coldly.

"At least it's enough to make the four of you go up two levels to three levels at a time and earn enough money as capital for the various mistakes you made"

"Two levels to three levels!"

Everyone who has already registered to be an adventurer is surprised by this information while others who have not are confused about this.

"Why are you guys so surprised?" Yamakaji asked in confusion, "Is it difficult to raise the level?"

"It's hard," Gion said flatly, "The exp gained from collecting medicinal plants is very little. It takes 10 to 13 times the same mission to be able to advance to the next level. Also, we don't know how much Exp is needed for the level to use; Next to be able to increase the level. Besides, looking at them. They build a 4-person party which means the Exp they get will be divided...."

"Arara, that's a huge reward," Aokiji said with surprise, "I think you guys are lucky enough to get the mission"

"Big Sister, look" Said Sandersonia

Hancock's gaze immediately followed Sandersonia and saw Mihawk in the room, "Eagle Eye..."

"How could he be here?" Marigold murmured full of surprises.

This conversation between Hancock and his two sisters was listened to by Rayleigh and immediately his gaze stared at Mihawk, "Eagle Eye? Aren't you together with Shanks"

"No" Mihawk shook his head, "I did the sailing myself while he also used his line. There is a possibility that tomorrow he will be here soon"

"So"

"Rayleigh, did you tell the information about this place to Eagle Eye?" Garp asked with interest.

"It was just a coincidence," Rayleigh said calmly, "When I told Shanks this information, he happened to be there. Also, I told him this information"

"Thank you for sharing information about this place with me, Rayleigh. It was very valuable to me"

Rayleigh nodded and didn't mind too much about it.

"By the way, back to my previous question" Ars again said and this caught their attention, "Are you guys going to continue to carry out this mission? Otherwise, I will leave this mission for Garp and others to perform. I think he will be very interested in doing it, especially this guy is not afraid of death"

"Not afraid of death?" Rayleigh asked in confusion.

"Last night he was great enough to fight and fight with the monsters in the dungeon. Count about 12 times the deaths obtained by him last night. I never thought this person might already be addicted to dying"

Garp was very embarrassed to hear this and immediately scratched his head then his gaze stared at Rayleigh and Hancock, "Hehehe, are you guys going to stop this mission? Well, that's good. Just let me go do it. I'm interested in that mission"

"Impossible! Hmph! Do you think I will leave this mission to you guys?!" Hancock asked coldly, narrowing her eyes.

"You won't be able to take this mission from us, Garp" Rayleigh said seriously: "There are some interesting things in this mission and we have to do it"

"Che~ That's so boring," Garp said with a frown.

"Well," Ars immediately retracted their attention, "Let's start the registration process again. As for Rayleigh and others. Please wait for the queue. I will serve in the Navy first then Mihawk. Then you guys will be served by me"

Rayleigh nodded and immediately walked towards the direction of the nearest sofa together with Hancock. Garp immediately approached Rayleigh to speak out and also tried to seduce him to be informed of information related to the mission.

"Next"

Momonga immediately came forward to take his turn.

"Oh? It's you. I didn't expect that you would be selected by Sengoku to come here"

Ars was quite surprised to see Momonga here.

"Do you know me? I am quite honored to be known by someone like you"

"Hahaha, relax. I know people a lot even though they don't know me. Well, put your hand on the crystal ball and follow the procedure I previously gave:"

Momonga nodded and immediately followed the procedure previously given by Ars. The crystal ball immediately glowed the moment when Momonga put down his hand. Whoever is there, even though they have seen the registration process many times, still like to see it in person. It didn't take long for a status panel belonging to Momonga to appear in front of him.

"Is this my status panel?"

Name: Momonga

"My swordsmanship ability is only C-level?" Momonga muttered with surprise.

Although Momonga is not sure that his sword power is on top of the world. Still, Momonga thought it was likely that his swordsmanship was at level B. Quite a few blows to him at the time of knowing many of his swordsmanship abilities were only at C level.

"You don't have to be disappointed. As long as you strive to improve your strength in the dungeon. You may be able to find a sword ability in the dungeon or else you can go to the sword training ground in the main city. As long as you can successfully defeat the trainers there, you can get sword ability rewards and the sword ability you will get may be, S-level"

"S-level sword ability?"

This is new information for them temporarily for Rayleigh, it is old information for him. Mihawk had always been interested in the talks that had taken place and never once did he pick up and read the guidebook borrowed by him before.

"That's if you can beat them" Ars said calmly, "Every coach there has a very strong sword ability. You have to beat them. Don't worry, though, by the time you fight with them. Later you will fight using commensurate or equivalent strength. That means you only need to determine your whereabouts based on your sword ability. However, if you want, you can also fight with your abilities in the dungeon. But, my reminder. Every coach there their strength is very strong, your current strength even in your current status in the outside world cannot win against them. So, consider that carefully."

Ars paused and continued, "Besides, you guys need to remember. If you want to challenge the coach there, please bring enough money. Fighting against them requires a certain amount of money. 1 fight you have to pay at least 1 gold coin. It was a cost to a fight of balanced strength. If you want to use your strength, the minimum cost is 10 gold coins and it will increase depending on the strength you have."

"Sword training ground? Those trainers with strong sword abilities? It's getting more and more interesting. It seems that I have to raise enough money to be able to get what I want" Mihawk thought with a small smile.

"I understand" Momonga nodded.

"Ok. Please step back. Allow the next person to register. You can learn the status panel that belongs to you together with Zephyr in the back of the back"

"Thank you"

Momonga immediately turned around then it was Yamakaji's turn to sign up. Yamakaji's registration process went well and there weren't too many interesting things about Yamakaji. Its status panel.

His status panel is hardly much different than Momonga's. After the registration process was over, Yamakaji immediately went to the sofa and learned his latest abilities, and also started adding friends between them to each other. The next registrant is Vergo. Although Ars knew that Vergo was a spy sent by Doflamingo to the Navy.

But, Ars is neutral. He didn't side with anyone. Ars also did not confuse Vergo's identity and only enlisted him just like the rest of the Marines. The Vergo status panel is as follows.

Vergo also soon after successfully registering to become an adventurer, he immediately stepped back to study his status panel in detail while adding other co-workers to his friendship section. After Vergo finished registering, it was Ain's turn to register herself as an adventurer.

Ain immediately followed the enlistment procedure as had been done by the previous top brass of the Navy and quickly a status panel belonging to him immediately appeared in front of Ars.

Name: Ain

Ars's gaze towards Ain's status panel is quite long, especially in the list of her devil fruit abilities. It also gained the attention of several people until Ars spoke up,

"Hey, tell me. How did you use your demon fruit ability?" Ars asked flatly and also his tone was quite deep.

This change in votes from Ars immediately attracted the attention of all parties. The sound always emitted by Ars is usually calm and relaxed. is different from the sound made by him at this time. His voice was deep as well as flat.

"Eh?" Ain was quite surprised by this question that came out of Ars.

She had previously thought that maybe Ars wouldn't be too interested in him and wouldn't take him to talk too often as Yamakaji and Vergo did. However, she did not expect that at the moment when the registration process was completed, Ars without hesitation opened the conversation directly.

"You are free to choose whether to answer this question or not. This is your privacy concern. I'm only interested in how you use this devil fruit ability of yours"

Ars asked again calmly. But the sound is still maintained as before.

"Ars is interested in his abilities... That means... This woman's ability is not indiscriminate "Rayleigh thought seriously.

It wasn't just Rayleigh who thought of this. But the people who were there certainly knew. As long as Ars is interested in something, it must be something very big, for example, the mission carried out by Rayleigh and others. Ars was interested in the mission and today the mission brings enormous rewards to them.

Currently, Ars is interested in the abilities of Ain. This means that the ability possessed by Ain is not something ordinary. There must be something related to that ability.
