Chapter 7

Grand Line, Island of Saboundy Archepelago, Area 13, Guild.

*Drink*

The doorbell rang followed by the sound of the door opening. Rayleigh walked into the Guild ready for battle. His sword was lodged in the left side of his body and carried a small bag on his back which contained enough food for the day.

"Welcome. Wow, quite a lot of preparation too. Is the bag you're carrying right now food?" Ars asked with great interest.

"Yes. At least the food brought by me is enough to eat today." Rayleigh smiled as he walked towards the administration desk.

"You have contacted your acquaintances? When will he arrive? Otherwise, I will not be able to give the gift according to the previous agreement."

"He will arrive tomorrow along with his crew. You'd be quite surprised by that person's arrival." Rayleigh smirked.

"Surprised? I think, it is not necessary. After all, I already know who that person is" Ars said calmly with a small smile, "Well, for your reward. Will be given tomorrow when he comes"

"No problem" Rayleigh nodded then handed him his adventurer card as well as a 10 thousand berry note.

"Honestly. I previously thought what Shakky said was a lie. However…" Ars paused for a moment then looked at Rayleigh, "You really are broke, aren't you?"

"It's better not to talk about it. the more you talk about it, the more I feel my self-esteem plummet." Rayleigh said with a slightly sullen tone.

"But, to be honest. It's kind of funny considering your identity." Ars chuckled softly as he started to give Rayleigh permission to enter the dungeon.

"I will return this. There was already a one-time entry pass into the dungeon. When you return, remember to exchange your crystals for a large amount of cash. So that you don't become an old geezer who has no money at all."

"There's no need to discuss it. I know" Rayleigh said with a frown as he took out his adventurer card.

"Oh, just a reminder. All services in this Guild are only open from 8 am to 5 pm. After that time, guild services will no longer be open and need to wait for the next time to reopen."

"What about the dungeon matter? For example, when an adventurer wants to go out at night?" Rayleigh asked curiously.

"It does not matter. Guild itself is open 1x24 hours. Anyone can enter and exit the dungeon all the time. It's just that, guild services have a limited time."

"I see." Rayleigh nodded.

Just as he was about to leave, Rayleigh's footsteps stopped then turned to look at Ars, "Do you have any tricks or tips to collect crystals in large quantities and quickly?"

"Tricks and tips?" Ars thought for a moment, "On the first floor it's pretty easy to do that. Titan is a monster who has no brain and only has lust. They also don't like someone getting into the territory they own. If someone entered their territory, they would hunt that person until they died. Well, I'm sure you know how to do it, don't you?"

"Of course. Thank you." Rayleigh immediately turned around and started walking towards the dungeon entrance.

The aura that was previously calm like that of an old geezer instantly turned into someone of a deadly fighter. The previously calm gaze immediately turned into a deadly full gaze ready to hunt down anyone. The nickname Mei'O was not the usual nickname the Marines gave her when Rayleigh was young.

Rayleigh immediately scanned his adventurer card into the dungeon entrance. The entrance immediately opened and revealed a portal that could lead Rayleigh into the dungeon.

Rayleigh took a deep breath, "This is it. Wait for me… Roger" Rayleigh muttered as he walked into the portal.

[I think Rayleigh and Roger's friendship is very close, isn't it? To the extent that Rayleigh has the desire to revive his friend]

"Of course. The two have a very good relationship. At the time Roger first formed a pirate. The first person he recruited was Rayleigh. The recruitment itself was done by accident. It could be said that the two met because it was destined. The two of them embarked on an adventure using the ship that was stolen by Rayleigh up until now."

[An interesting story. How about you tell me their story? After all, you don't have a job right now, do you?]

"It's kind of funny telling someone something you can't see with your own eyes and head"

[What is the problem? The point is you can still hear my voice, right?]

"Okay. Okay. I'll tell you. Hmmm… Well, where to start"

Dungeon, First Floor, Small safe zone number 50.

Rayleigh suddenly appeared in the safe zone while looking around him, "I don't think this is the safe zone we were previously in" Rayleigh muttered then looked around again.

Seen around the safe zone, a large number of Titans have gathered with sizes ranging from 30 meters to 50 meters in size. Each of them occupies their own territory which is only a few meters from the territory of the other Titans.

Rayleigh immediately lowered the bag he was carrying into the safe zone so as not to interfere with the battle he was about to do. After he lowered the bag, Rayleigh took a deep breath as his gaze fell on one of the Titans who was currently only 30 meters away from his current position.

"I haven't moved my body in a long time. Let's start from there while also warming up a bit before the hunt begins." Rayleigh's gaze became very sharp and he immediately accelerated towards the Titan.

By the time Rayleigh was out of the safe zone. The Titan who was the target of Raylegh immediately felt his presence. The titan looked straight at Rayleigh and glared at him with a look full of anger.

*Roar!*

"Wow, as Ars said. Very good Haki ability" Rayleigh muttered without any fear whatsoever.

The Titan who was currently being targeted by Rayleigh immediately jumped up high and then clenched his fists covered in Armament Haki to attack Rayleigh.

"Starting first? Interesting." Rayleigh smirked and stopped in his tracks and waited for the Titan's attack.

*BOOM!*

The titan immediately attacked Rayleigh with such a strong force that the ground that was attacked by him instantly shattered into a hollow along with the trees in the area around the attack site falling apart.

"Strong power. However, it's still slow enough to hit me with an attack like that." Rayleigh's voice came from behind the Titan.

Hearing his enemy's voice, Titan knew that his enemy had not died. His face was currently filled with anger as he twisted his body while preparing his hands to attack Rayleigh.

But what a shame. before the attack was carried out. Rayleigh had already attacked by slashing at the Titan and cutting the Titan's hands apart from his body.

*Roar!*

A roar of pain immediately escaped the Titan's mouth. A large amount of blood instantly gushed out from both shoulders of the Titan.

"Bloody? Did I miscalculate beforehand?" Rayleigh mumbled with a surprised face, "Better finish soon"

Without waiting long, Rayleigh immediately slashed again using his Haki energy and cut the Titan's body into two pieces. Instantly the titan's body along with the blood that flowed out earlier instantly disappeared into air particles and only left a small crystal there.

"Disappear?" Rayleigh was quite surprised to see this, "Is it possible that before the Titan was killed, the Titan could still bleed? Amazing" Rayleigh mumbled again and something else startled Raylegh again.

Because the battle ground used by him immediately began to change back to the way it was before.

"This…" Rayleigh had a hard time explaining the phenomena he was seeing at the moment, "What an amazing place… No, the person who created this place was extraordinary. Ars… What kind of person is he?" Rayleigh muttered.

Rayleigh then stepped towards the location of the small crystal and picked it up.

"Is this the crystal?" Rayleigh asked as he studied the small crystal in his hand at the moment.

The crystal itself has a sharp long shape along with a purple color that leaves an elegant impression. Rayleigh immediately put the small crystal into his clothes pocket then suddenly immediately put up a defensive position because behind him there was already a Titan ready to attack him.

*BOOM!*

Rayleigh's body was instantly repelled while crashing into several trees behind him until Rayleigh slowly started to regain his body momentum and instantly stabilized his current position.

"Decent power." There wasn't a look of pain on Rayleigh's face at this point but only a smile full of joy.

*Roar!*

The Titan that previously attacked Rayleigh could sense the presence of Rayleigh who was currently still life. This made the Titan angry and immediately moved towards Rayleigh at full speed.

"You have attacked before. Now, let you feel my attack" Rayleigh said as he disappeared from his current position and appeared in front of the Titan that was currently moving towards him.

The Titan was surprised to see Rayleigh's appearance.

"Why? Are you surprised? Too bad. I still want to play with you. However, I have a goal that must be achieved immediately." Rayleigh immediately slashed forward very quickly where the slash instantly cut the Titan's body into two parts.

The Titan's body immediately turned into air particles and only a small crystal remained. Rayleigh immediately took the crystal and put it in his pocket because at this moment Rayleigh felt that there were more than five Titans that had moved to attack him.

"Interesting place" Rayleigh muttered as he released his Conqueror Haki momentum.

The moment Rayleigh's Conqueror Haki was released. All of the Titans who were currently within a 1 kilometer range from their current place instantly fainted from being unable to withstand the momentum released by Rayleigh. It could be said that currently Rayleigh had unleashed all of his King's Haki power which made all the Titans within 1 kilometer of him instantly unconscious.

"Let's finish off the Titans then continue the hunt"

There were hundreds of Titans that Rayleigh had knocked out. Getting such an excellent opportunity, Rayleigh didn't want to let it go. Rayleigh immediately used his speed and began to kill every Titan who was currently unconscious because there was a possibility that this Titan's situation would not last long. Rayleigh wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to obtain large quantities of crystals to reduce his workload.

It only takes less than 15 minutes. Rayleigh managed to kill all the Titans within 1 kilometer of that direction. All the crystals had also been successfully collected and all of them were immediately brought down to the safe zone occupied by him before.

"Hahahahaha… Looks like my old bones haven't rusted yet" Rayleigh immediately laughed excitedly at the large amount of crystals he had managed to collect, "Let's wait a while. Looks like it won't take long for the Titans to rise again."

Rayleigh's gaze then looked at the crystal storage machine, "Let's try the machine" Rayleigh immediately collected all his crystals using a cloak and then brought them towards the machine.

Arriving in front of the machine, there is a way to use the machine. Rayleigh immediately read it and studied it. After knowing how to use it, Rayleigh immediately inserted his adventurer card into the machine and then put all the crystals he got into the prepared place.

It only takes a few minutes for the process to complete. All the crystals that Rayleigh put in disappeared followed by Rayleigh's adventurer card being pulled out with the changes taking place there.

"1 medium crystal and 3 small crystals. For the first time, this income is quite a lot. At least now I've been able to secure my purchase of a storage bracelet" Rayleigh muttered then put the adventurer card back into his pocket and saw that many Titans had come back to life, "What an interesting mechanism. Let's continue." Rayleigh said seriously and he started his hunt again.
