"..... You're not kidding right Hancock?" (Shaky)
"I told you, this is for real. If you don't believe me just come here, it's located between the Sabaody Archipelago and Amazon Lily" (Hancock)
"..... Alright, I'll try there" (Shakky)
After that the call ended, leaving Shakky to think about the Dungeon.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
The next morning, an old man was seen entering a bar in Grove 13 of the Sabaody Archipelago.
The bar itself is Shakky's Rip-off Bar. Yes, it's Shakky's bar. The former Empress of Amazon Lily.
She is retired and now runs a bar. Even though Grove 13 is a lawless area, Shakky's bar operates without problems.
Shakky herself was at the counter when the old man came and sat down on one of the chairs.
Shakky greeted him as usual, because this old man was her husband who wasn't home last night when Hancock called.
"Good morning, Rey-san. How much did you get last night?" (Shaky)
The identity of the old man who came was Meiō, Silvers Reyleigh. The Pirate King's Right Hand, Gol. D. Roger.
(I looked on the wiki about the relationship between Reyleigh and Shakky, I already knew they were close and related. Then this is what I found:
— Vol. 51 Chapter 498 and Episode 392, Shakuyaku summons Rayleigh Uchi no hito ("person of my family") , revealing that the two are husband and wife.
This I got from the wiki, so I'll write that they are husband and wife in this story.
If you have an opinion write it in the comments)
Reyleigh didn't come home last night because he was gambling in one of the casinos. Since he didn't have anything with him, it was pretty certain that Reyleigh had lost last night and owed the casino a lot of money.
The plan was for Reyleigh to be sold into slavery to pay off his debts but he escaped when the guards were off guard and even stole a lot of money which he plans to use again for gambling.
At this point he came home and saw Shakky standing at the counter, probably waiting for him.
"Morning Shakky, I lost the gamble last night. But luckily I was able to escape and even took the money there. Got millions of Berries approx" (Reyleigh)
"That's you Rey-san. Last night Hancock called me via Den Den Mushi, and gave me some interesting information" (Shakky)
".. What is it? It's rare for Hancock to be like that" Reyleigh said with a bit of surprise.
"I was also surprised at first, but after hearing about the information I understand why Hancock said that" (Shakky)
"What's wrong with you, tell me quickly! You're making me even more curious" (Reyleigh)
"Fufufu, sorry to tease you. The information is…" (Shakky)
Shakky then tells Reyleigh everything she heard from Hancock, about the Dungeon etc.
Reyleigh initially didn't believe it and thought that this was some kind of Devil Fruit ability.
But hearing that all members of the Kuja Pirates were currently there, he had no other choice but to believe this information.
"So how's Rey-san? Want to go and check? I'm sure you have a thought in your head" (Shakky)
"…You're right. If something like that exists, I can revive Roger. But if this information becomes widespread, the seas will be even more chaotic. Even the Marines and the World Government will move quickly" (Reyleigh)
"Looks like you don't have to worry about chaos on the island, I heard the owner of that place is strong" (Shakky)
"Strong? How strong is it?" (Reyleigh)
"Hancock said that person can destroy this world easily?" Shakky said firmly but Reyleigh who heard her didn't calm down at all.
"...You're not kidding right?" (Reyleigh)
"Dunno, that's what Hancock said. You better check it out yourself" (Shakky)
"…Fine, I'll go over there and check it in person" (Reyleigh)
Shakky nodded and told Reyleigh the location of the island on the path to Amazon Lily.
"You're not coming?" (Reyleigh)
"Not this time, maybe later. You go first" (Shakky)
Reyleigh then went inside to his room to prepare his items which weren't much, only a sword and a coat.
Once ready, Reyleigh returned to the counter to have breakfast before leaving. Reyleigh won't be going by boat, but swimming instead.
Well, no normal person is crazy enough to swim the Grand Line. But he was Reyleigh, someone who had conquered the seas.
And he's also been swimming between islands a lot, so don't worry too much about him.
===
Guilds, Morning.
Hancock and the other Kuja Pirates were having breakfast at the moment. Since they were a sizable Pirate group, money wasn't an issue.
Thus, they ordered various foods and ate heartily.
After breakfast they went straight back into the Dungeon to take the Quest. As soon as they left, the Guild became empty leaving only Arata, Asuna, Kaori and Saeko.
They were just talking random stuff waiting until someone came back from the Dungeon or someone else came to be adventurers.
Since there isn't much in particular going on, we'll go straight to the time 1 hour after lunch which is 1 pm.
Hancock and her sisters returned to report on their Quest. Seeing them excited, denotes that they are experiencing or getting good things.
"Good afternoon Hancock-san, I see you are quite happy. What's wrong?" This time it wasn't Arata who greeted her but Kaori.
Asuna and Saeko were also sitting at the counter, listening.
"Heem, we will become stronger" (Hancock)
Kaori, Asuna, Saeko were confused for a moment but quickly understood what he meant.
"Thank you for your hard work" (Asuna)
"Congratulations" (Saeko)
"We will become strong quickly and get the items we want" (Hancock)
Sandersonia and Marigold standing behind him nodded determinedly.
[Get 30 Thick Twigs]
[Rewards : 3 Bronze Coins, 200 EXP]
A quest was issued by one of the Blacksmiths who wanted materials to make arrows.
They returned to fight Living Twig, this time they had no trouble because they were fighting those who had Levels below 3.
There were some who were Level 2 but most were Level 1. They had no trouble this time, unlike the Horned Rabbit which had an advantage in speed, Living Twig's Status was even and had low intelligence.
So the attacks are easy to avoid and the attacks directed at Living Twig cause considerable damage.
The breakdown of the monsters they defeated were 50 Level 1 and 11 Level 2. Maybe more than the client asked for but they wanted to Level up as fast as possible so they defeated all the monsters they encountered.
They got a total of 57 Thick Twigs and 55 Chelor Leaves. Of the 57 Thick Twigs, 30 were given to clients and the rest were sold to buy other necessities.
1 Thick Twig sells for 10 Iron Coins from which they get 2 Bronze Coins and 70 Iron Coins.
As for the Chelor Leaves, 30 were bought by Elaina, the rest were made to become Speed Potions. 1 Speed Potion of the lowest quality costs 30 Iron Coins.
And to make 1 potion, it takes 2 leaves. The Chelor Leaf itself has the same price as the Thick Twig which is 10 Iron Coins.
Out of the remaining 25 Leaves, only 8 Speed Potions could be obtained. But Hancock didn't need that many, just 3 Potions.
As a result they got 4 Bronze Coins and 30 Iron Coins. Then it will be added later with a Quest Prize of 3 Bronze Coins.
"Quest completed. Here is your reward, 3 Bronze Coins" (Kaori)
[Level up]
The notification appeared in front of the three of them and a smile appeared on each other's lips.
"Once again. Congratulations" (Saeko)
"Hmm, thanks" (Hancock)
"How will you guys split the Status Points?" (Arata)
